Hey guys,

I recieved my MediaPad(euro) yesterday, and I have a couple questions:

1: Has anybody else experienced strange WiFi? When I'm on my router at home, the connection from Pad to Router is fine, shows blue coverage with arrows now and then, but if I try to open a website or market, nothing happens. If I "force" download, IE through a game, then I can sometimes open a website while the other content is downloaded. And shortly after, it stops loading web-content again.

So even though I have full coverage, and internet works fine on all other devices, I have to "kickstart" the connection.

Could it be a Port-problem maybe? Could it be the router, or should I just return the whole Pad?

2: Does anyone know more specific when the official ICS will come, and what are the chances this will help my WiFi issues? (already tried factory settings)

Thanks for all your future answers :)

I think the easiest way would be to use Zimbolo's Hybrid ROM, it's B021+B016:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21757360&highlight=hybrid#post21757360

Getting it to work would just require copying the update.zip onto the SD card.

Is there a New ICS Update? If So Anyone Have A Link!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
It's an older build than the R002 ICS Beta.

From the cust.prop of that download:

ro.build.date=Sat Jan 7 10:51:37 CST 2012

The build.prop from the system.img:

ro.build.id=HuaweiMediaPad
ro.build.display.id=S7-30XuV100R001C006B010
ro.build.version.incremental=C006B010

ro.build.version.release=4.0.1
ro.build.date=Mon Jan 9 15:19:24 CST 2012
ro.build.date.utc=1326093564

There are some differences between the first leaked ics 4.0.1 beta and this "CES" build, but I don't think it's worth the time to try an outdated 4.0.1 build.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] toth42:
fyi, i just read on the netgear-forum about similar problems with the Nook, and the solution there for some reason was to turn of MAC-control. so i did this and set up wpaspk, and it seems to have helped to some degree.. any knowledge from the gurus on the subject?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
Can someone confirm that this option is missing in honeycoomb rom? And also whether it is present in ics or not. thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
I have this option in the ICS R002 (Beta2) release, and I think it was also present in the ICS Preview.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
thank you. But in HC you didn't have it as me? Or it must be enabled somehow?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Im on ics beta 2, anyone else have had the blue screen?

Goes away if i turn off\on the screen.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
I'm not sure, but I think I first saw it in ICS, and not in any HC build.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DeadMan2k:
in HC i don't have this options, in ICS i have it.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:

hi i'm running the B16 stock firmware and i've this feature but i have not activated anything except when i started the app "Duck Hunt" and it asked me if i wanted to zoom or strech the image to fit the screen
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Orka82:
This option exists in hc if you select Settings -> Screen and select High on Screen resolution. You will be able to zoom in some apps, not all. If you can, you will see the option in the notification bar.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
so on standard resolution is it not possible? only on high?

Exactly :)

Upgraded to ICS then can't go to recovery - keep rebooting

Hi, for those who have upgraded to ICS Rom and then can't go to recovery any more or device keep rebooting when go to recovery mode, I wonder you guys have any solution or not, but I've mine working and like to share with you guys.

Use Fastboot and push the attached recovery.img to you pad and shutdown. then hold the volume up button (further from the screen-off button)when bootup and it will go recovery and start to re-install from dload folder. good luck..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Works here, but i think its "sensitive" to what order you do things.

Try to turn on hdmi in the pad, then plug in the cable. If still on black screen, reboot the pad.

kernel modules for ICS 2

Hi

Anyone knows where I can get binaries and kernel modules for ICS2?

I use build V100R002C002B001.

I'm specifically looking for tun.ko and nls_utf8 but others like OpenVPN are also of interest.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
On ICS 4.0.3 also. When plugged in to a led\lcd tv it should detect the hdmi even if theres no picture, it does this for me when this happens.

The tv`s hdmi port is not available in the menu before plugging in the pad. Try that,- and see if tv etc gives some signal that a hdmi cable is detected.

confusing thread

Hi All,

Sorry to ask a noob question but I just got a t-mobile springboard and I have read 20 pages of posts and I am confused. I have been flashing roms to my other android devices for a long time so I feel pretty comfortable but I don't want to mess up my shiny new device.

Can someone post a step guide to installing and booting into recovery and flashing roms and maybe direct links to roms with features etc? I was thinking of flashing the hybrid rom. If someone could do that, I will work on setting up a wiki somewhere that we can use as reference. I am confused because some people talk about booting into recovery and others fastboot.

Thanks,

Rich

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
+1 Just read all 43 pages and am still a little lost, hesitant. I think my biggest worry stems from the mediapad vs. springboard users. Not sure who's talking about what sometimes.

Just picked up the springboard and hate the bloatware and nonsense connection/transfer software you have to use. Would like to load the ICS 4.0.3 build but you can't go back? Or you have to use the hybrid, but is that for the mediapad, springboard, or both?

Separate threads would be a great help.

usb otg , mounting flash drive

has anyone ever mange to mount a USB flash drive?

i am using stock honeycomb 3.2 b016 and have tried two different usb flash drives 4GB formatted as fat32.

I have not tested usb mouse and keyboard yet with 3.2 b016, but they did not work with b012 in one of the cables.

usb debugging is enabled, but disabling it makes no difference...

i think my cable is otg, i bought on ebay, advertised as "USB OTG Host cable adaptor Samsung Galaxy S2 SII I9100". The other cable i have was not advertised as OTG.

Categories

is my Mediapad broken or am i missing something? Can i be my cable is not OTG? Do i need root to mount usb flash? does that work in 4.0.3?

I get the same with Netflix with ICS (4.0.3) and also in Netflix. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried with everything but I guess it has to do with the hardware accelerated scrollable group that the images are put in.

I'm having problems with my springboard. I was reading a pdf on it and installing some updates from the market when it rebooted. It then got stuck in a loop of rebooting. Its running the stock os from tmobile. Its not booting up anymore. When I try to boot it the android logo shows up and the thing blasts off but then gets stuck in the middle of the screen and thats it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
Same here. i tried everything and could not get is fixed. It is related directly to a bug in the system web browser though as some websites simply don't load on this ICS build. I guess we will have to wait for an official release.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
For Serious. I'm on the verge of taking it back altogether. I can barely move stuff to it and it's driving me crazy. The Transfer app just crashes and quits on my macs at home. At work on a windows 7 machine, I had it going yesterday and could move some movies to it. Just plugged it in and the original autorun came up asking to install drives/suite. Did it, Suite doesn't find the device. Lists "Springboard" under Computer but clicking it doesn't show any of the folders from yesterday. WHY is this even remotely necessary!?!?

So yes, would highly highly appreciate any clarification on rooting this thing (Springboard) so I can avoid throwing it out the window.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] guap:
drivers are needed for MTP feature. Turn it off and use it as mass storage OR install drivers provide by virtual cd unit created on 7 (no mac here)

maybe it's something related to your brand, my stock huawei mediapad doesn't have any issues and works like a charm
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
Still working on figuring it out more, thanks for the tips. I installed the drivers yesterday on my windows machine at work and all was working fine. Then this morning it said I had to install again... not working so fine.

Will work no it more later today.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Jake.13:
After trying the software on the virtual cd a couple times with springboard / win 7, couldn't get it to work and just decided not to waste time on what looked useless anyway. Been using mass storage mode for months, it is better but not perfect. Finally switched to wireless LAN connection via ES Browser, should have done that from the very start, very fast and streaming pdf/video/audio is very cool.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
I uninstalled HiSuite cause that never worked anyway. The Springboard plugs in and shows up as a portable device, not a simple drive like past phones. Always get filetype warnings transferring files and and when I tried to do a large group of images (bout 140) I had to do them in 4 batches. It would just stop after about 30 files. This thing is giving me a headache.

Did resort to wifi transfer at home yesterday. Can't at work though, separate networks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] brainmaster:
Can someone please dump the recovery2 from his MediaPad? I lost mine during the flashing of ICS and now can't boot into recovery or do any updated.

hi everyone..

i've been trying to follow this thread to learn how to root my mediapad (not springboard). anyway. just like a few posters before me, i've been a little confused. i downloaded the S7-301u+V100R001C232B012%28Root_version%29.zip , i extracted the system.img.ext4, and did a fastboot flash onto my mediapad while i was in the fastboot screen (the one with the hold power button for 10+ seconds to reboot)

after the command prompt said it was completed, i reboot and still did not have root access. should i be flashing the cust.img.ext4 instead ?

also, the other thread "[A] Huawei MediaPad Root" multiupload links are dead. if anyone has those modified SU binary files to upload again, I would be very grateful! :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DeadMan2k:
use recovery.img from official firmware, recovery2 partition = recovery partition , it's backup, and flashed with the same image (when device is upgrade, it's flash recovery from recovery.img, and after update process finish it's simple copy all data from recovery to recovery2)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
@brainmaster

Same here, but i fried my Pad totally. Try to flash every partition via fastboot. Use the same order as in "huawei_partition.xml"

The AT&T compatible version is selling on Amazon for $399.

http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-S7-312...&ie=UTF8&qid=1329429281&sr=1-4#suggestion-box

But neither Amazon nor Huawei knows whether this is an AT&T SIM locked version or unlocked.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
I have it and it was locked when i bought it. I had to get it unlocked through a 3rd party. Check a few pages back and you will see who i used to get it unlocked.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Thanks for letting me know. Did you buy it off Amazon too?

I noticed that the Huawei Mediapad support pages have two different manuals for the 312u. One is AT&T branded and the other is not. So it is conceivable that unlocked unbranded units are out there, but Amazon has not made this clear.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] semaphor74:
I used the same service to successfully unlock my T-Mobile SpringBoard. Tried it with T-Mobile first, but they are as always useless not having the unlock code for the first 6 months after the device is released. I bought mine new on eBay for $340. I think T-Mobile model is the better deal having twice amount of internal storage than that of the regular HMP
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Fair enough - the SIM I want to use it with in Canada is on the Bell network (HSPA 850/1900), so the AT&T compatible one makes more sense. But everything I've been able to find suggests the Springboard has 1900 at least.

I forget if I asked but - since you have an unlocked Springboard, have you had an opportunity to try an AT&T SIM? If it's true and if you are in a 1900 coverage area you'd get 3G.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
Just the buy the one from Amazon and unlock it. I flashed the unlocked HC and ICS versions no problem. everything works.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] semaphor74:
I only tried it with T-Mobile, but will try whenever I get a chance and let you know
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
When you flashed those builds, did you experience any decrease in HSPA(+) speeds on AT&T?

Do the HC & ICS builds allow the tablet to act as a hotspot? Does the original AT&T firmware allow it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
The OEM firmwares do. The failT&T firmware does not.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Is there any stock backup of the AT&T firmware available, or a way to back the whole thing up including radio, before flashing it to get root/debrand?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
I haven't seen any stock at&t firmwares but there is really no need for one. Just put stock OEM if you want to sell it later.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Is there a custom recovery that can do nandroid backups?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
For what it's worth, I asked eBay seller "macmall" (selling the S7-312U for a steeper $436.99) and got the answer: "In response to your inquiry, this is an unlocked unit. You can use any SIM. Comes with 1 year warranty from Huawei Devices."

Then again, eBay seller "Gazelle-Store" is selling a Springboard used for $300.79 compared to the Amazon $399 AT&T version... but that one has no warranty.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
That's what they told me to yet they shipped it to me locked and it came in an at&t box...so take it with a grain of salt.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Ha. Did you get it from the same Ebay seller?
