SpringBoard/Mediapad

This device with ICS is much better than TMOBILE version. Also 4g vs 3g is a marketing thing, even new iphone/ipad release now changes icon on iphone from 3g to 4g with no changes to speed at all. Soon 5g will pop up on your phone and numbers will not mean speed increase just QOS and Reliability will improve. just my 2 cents on the 3g,4g hype. Tmobile is the worse customer service company i have ever experienced and the best and selling you crap services:D

I bet there is some guys out there that can help me change the icon to 9g so i can show to my iphone friends.

I bet you cannot find a better device for the money if you can let me know ill take 2.

hold the power button for 10 seconds. mine shuts off.

Okay last question before I upgrade. I currently have a bone stock Springboard it is not unlocked or anything. Do I need to do any unlocking prior to upgrading to ICS?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
thanks guys (all of you who made it possible) :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
I am no expert so FWIW only... I also had the stock Springboard and just followed the instructions on page 71 and seems to be working fine.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
When I do that, and release as soon as the screen goes out, it just reboots.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Don't need to do anything else. I went from the stock device. Was very easy to upgrade and root.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
Thanks to All

Just wanted to say thanks to all of the great people here. I always get nervous whenever I'm about to root/unlock a device and I have done plenty. I have successfully upgraded my Springboard now Mediapad to ICS and I have to say it was the easiest device I have ever done. Thanks again.

It seems harder than it actually was
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Xanderful:
you should not need anything special. I had the sanix file on the desktop of my computer. I right clicked copied then made sure the mediapad was in MTP mode then pasted it in the root of the drive that shows up once this mode shows up.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Had problem with adobe apps like touch and proto, so used titanium and restored them on a phone with ics 4.0.3 kernel 2.6.35.7 and they work.

So either there's a bug in the latest ics or the adobe apps don't support this version.

The error is they stop on a black screen, the license agreement. Clicking randomly on the screen works, but the button locations are also messed up.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
yep.. i have the same experience.. it reboots, so for me, there's no possibility of "hard" shutdown :\
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] serverxeon:
then how do you 'reflash' the rom if you can never get it to fully shutdown?!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
After flashing the update you just have to reboot to do the root. You can do that from the power button menu.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] serverxeon:
sorry not sure if u are replying to me.

saw above you had problem shutting down the device too.

have you found a solution?

i am trying to reflash the ROM, but so far it will only reboot everytime.

i can't get into the android robot screen which usually shows flashing-in-progress!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
I gotcha now. Yeah, as for RE-flashing I don't know. Mine shut off completely yesterday... but cause the battery died after being unplugged all weekend. I really don't get why it would be done this way. Sleep should be an option, along with power off.

*Edit* Just checked and found an easy way. Go to the market and download "Quick Boot (Reboot)". Can use that to power off completely. Also has boot to recovery/bootloader options too but I haven't tried those.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] serverxeon:
ah, i figured what was my problem. my SD card was acting weird, no wonder i couldn't activate the flashing process.

anyway, reboot does not work for flashing. u need to 'power off' and press the button to manually power on to activate flash mode.

but nevertheless, lilaliend, you found a way to shut this thing down!

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] jgaoshmu:
One simple question

I have to admit that after broswing this thread for around 30 minites, still have this basic question unanswered. so I decided to make a easy step forward. Could be anyone who has already flashed their TMO Springboard to Huawei Mediapad ICS and rooted thier deive tell me whether phone service+data service works? thanks a bunch!:cool:

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Hi Kirby, all functions including phone+data service work well? Thank you!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
It does work. There's a thread about it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543438
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
I don't use the tablet for phone calls so no that doesn't work for me but my understanding is that if you block the IMEI and use a sim card from a TMo phone then voice and text will work but it seems like people are having problems getting data. For me using only data I see no downsides to this upgrade. Hope this helps.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] handisnacks:
Ok well we still want to know about phone+sms. Seeing as how T-Mobile can just check by your IMEI that you're using a tablet they tend to block access to data or phone, one or the other, and say, "you need another plan." Which is idiotic, since there's no difference between many tablets and smartphones except the resolution on the screen.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lilaliend:
As far as SMS, I can send and receive texts just fine with the data-only plan. Haven't tried swapping with my phones SIM though, don't really need to talk on it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] handisnacks:
Ok well for myself, I need an all in one device, I'll just use bluetooth on the tablet. No one has been able to verify if voice actually works with data on a regular smartphone plan (talk+text+2gb) on this damn thing :(

Maybe it is possible to extract the Touchscreen_Firmware from the Beta-Update and itegrate it into the last official one. The files are all in the update.zip, so it isn't that hard. I would do it, but not until january.

in a few days will be released a new official, moreover this beta rom has not just the touch screen improvement

Imho I suggest the update

you have right, charging is only not showing in gui :)

Also build number states b015beta01, but this image has no beta01

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zombolo:
I just edited the build ID string for myself.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
I'm not sure what you mean with apptosd, but the beta ROM has the option, to use the external SD card as storage for all data (then mounted as /sdcard), and the internal 8gb becomes the huge single root-partition:

So far, the C240 ROM works fine, Touchscreen might be better, but still not perfect. There's no problem with "swype" gestures, but single "clicks" are sometimes missed.

What I noticed, is that the battery usage might have increased, but I'm not really sure about it. CPU Spy says, that the PAD doesn't go into deep sleep state, even when just idling around on startscreen and charging.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
I also dont have deep sleep when charging, reset timers and works when not charging.

So the option to change default storage to sdcard instead of mnt\external is new.

Im guessing the best option is to keep it as it is and use link2sd for a partition on the sdcard.

Got mine a few days ago (still orginal ROM), really strange that everyone complains about the touch response... I think mine is working flawless but I guess I also have a resistive tab and that might be clouding my judgement :-)

I also have Samsung Galaxy S so I'm also used to capacitive touch tough..

Anyway think this tablet got really great potential.

Done some benchmarking and it is alot faster than my SGS and it seems to run dualcore atleast according to benchmarking scores but the system info apps I tested only reports 1 core...

I heard ICS is on the way also, that would be really great! I'n not a fan of Honeycomb really... Want folders! :-)

Cross my fingers and we get forum for our great tablet!

i'm a little confused about a few things.

can someone running the huawei firmware on the springboard clarify the high resolution setting for me? does the stock springboard not run at 1280x800, or does installing the huawei firmware change it from 1280x800 to something else and then they give you the option of switching back to 1280x800 through the high resolution setting?

does the springboard also charge over microusb?

i got a springboard, after returning my galaxy tab 7 plus (the wifi wasn't working), but the springboard seems to randomly reboot, i'm not sure if i should exchange it or return it and go back to the galaxy tab. i personally like the galaxy tab a little more. it seemed like it was faster, and its a little lighter. i also like touchwiz more than whatever ui the springboard is running (is it stock honeycomb?)

however, the springboard does have microusb, although after plugging it into my mac, i wasn't able to use the android file transfer program it wanted me to use to copy stuff to it, the app just kept crashing. also, i bought the tablet outright, so having a 4g pay as you go option is a plus, and something i didn't have on the galaxy tab.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:

Resolution:

Look into Settings.Screen.Resolution, if it is set to STD or high.

Random crashes:

Some Users on android-hilfe.de reported similar behavior on MediaPad, causes seem to be certain apps installed from market, especially email clients and busybox. You might wanna try removing apps.

The ICS testing ROM was leaked yesterday. It is not very stable now. And the public trial ROM may be released by the end of this month.

HuaWei don't have good reputation for providing firmware updates timely, but they really did good jobs for Media pad.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
zombolo: What is your impression of the text contrast? I asked in the main forum but i think it has too high contrast and is blurry.

Also remember to turn off logging and delete the folder, as mentioned in main page.

I think you have to root before installing gapps, but you can try without.

Im anyways going to install the international version when it comes and factory reset\format internal. The script sanix made for updating gapps installs them to "unusual" locations like cust/channel/china/

The code is:

#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 775 /data/share/sanixupdate/busybox
chown root.shell /system/xbin/su
chmod 775 /system/xbin/busybox
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox rm /data/share/sanixupdate/update.sh
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox mount -o remount,rw /cust
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox mkdir /cust/gms
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox cp /data/share/sanixupdate/gms/* /cust/gms/
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox mv /cust/gms/* /cust/channel/china/app/
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox chmod 644 /cust/channel/china/app/*
/data/share/sanixupdate/busybox mount -o remount,ro /cust
mv /data/share/sanixupdate/update.sh /data/share/sanixupdate/doneupdate.sh

You could probably change the location of /cust/channel/china/app/ but as long as its working i dont see the point.

and editing it I saw:

#TOUCH_PROXIMITY_T23

17 0f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

do you think that changing this value will change the sensibility?
