The *.so files are a bit like drivers for the internal components. I'll try to find differences between T-Mobile and Huawei so maybe we get 4G working again.

I'm not sure how to screencap. It's so easy on CM that I've gotten lazy. Plus I rarely do it. I know there are a ton of apps for that, tho. But you could probably google "gingerbread screen capture" and find a better answer. But not with gingerbread. I'm blanking on the name for this version of android.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
Honeycomb :D

I've been Googling searches like that, and end up with actual screen shots of Honeycomb os..I'll keep looking...

Tried this (from here), but no luck:

Screen capture

Android natively supports the ability to capture a screenshot by method of pressing both the power and volume-down buttons at the same time on an Android device. This native support was first included within the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) update, which is first seen on the Galaxy Nexus smartphone.[86] Previously, Android did not feature native support for screen capturing which would have likely been due to security concerns. Furthermore, prior manufacturer and third-party customizations as well as using a PC connection (DDMS developer's tool) were the only known methods of capturing a screenshot on Android.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
I've looked through the *.so files and many of them are exactly the same, but some are different. One file caught my interest. I've attached it here for anyone who wants to try. Please only use it, if you have a T-Mobile Springboard with flashed root Firmware. Copy the content of the zip-file to /system/lib and overwrite the existing file. But make a backup first! After copying you have to set the correct file permission (rw- r-- r--) and reboot the tab. Hopefully 4G works again with this little trick.

Correct Answer by jennifer_g on Dec 17, 2011 11:13 AM

That is a great question. The fact that the Springboard does not have messaging is because Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) does not offer text messaging or picture messaging. If an update is released that adds messaging to Android 3.2 it will be posted in the T-Mobile.com/support community.

I hope this answers your concern,

Anyone tested hdmi out? Tried it and its not working. Activated hdmi in the pad and get the hdmi icon in the tray.

Im guessing theres not different type of micro to normal hdmi cables?

guessing ive been ebayed..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
In the C232B012 Firmware it worked for me, with a microHDMI to HDMI cable for a few euros, connected the Mediapad to my Samsung Plasma and watched a movie. Just enabled HDMI-out and plugged it in.

Maybe you could try the cable with another device, or even two other devices.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
hdmi works for me with 016

its a pity that no1 has access to some beta Ics roms.

I was reading a review of the galaxy tab 7.7 with dual 1.4ghz how come its so much faster than mediapad? its only 0.2ghz difference and galaxy is getting 2800+ and the mediapad only getting 1800 in quadrant.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Got the hdmi to work,- turned to normal resolution and rebooted.

After that it worked in high resolution also, strange. Anyways it played 1080p mkv file with dts. So it worked and one less laptop to bring on trips.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] henel321:
HDMI works for me as well with 016.

Well, the Exynos is probably a faster CPU architecture. Doubt it is much faster in reality though and it's also double the price so I don't think we ought to complain. :p

I considered it but all the proprietary ports were a big turn off for me! A device without regular mini-HDMI or micro-usb is a no-no for me - I carry enough cables as is for laptop, phones and tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
The ports thing was also a no go for me, another thing to get lost or not available when you need it.

Like forgetting hdmi cables on summer holiday and watching films on a 12" laptop instead of the 40" tv.

the 7.7 tab is priced as of now 38-40% higher than the mediapad, bringing it at the same price point as the Transformer Prime.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
hello, I have mediapad for two days. I've udated firmware to latest (016). But I had one sudden random shutdown, while I was reading e-mails. So my question is: it's known that mediapad has software issues which may end with random shutdown/reboot or it's hardware fault of my pad? Thanks for answers :)

I asked a few questions some days back and not fully sure if I got an answer that is for the US TMobile network. So to try again, can someone tell me if the US TMobile Springboard be made to make phone calls and do 3G/4G?

I was waiting to buy the Samsung Galaxy 7.7 but don't want to shell out $600+ if the Springboard can do everything I need for about half the price.

So far this group has been a good group of people. Thanks in advance.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
Dont get me wrong here I'm very happy and enjoying the mediapad every day at home and watch movies at the gym, etc I was just just wondering about the difference because I noticed that the mediapad was slower. I have emailed every support-address at Huawei and trying to get the sourcecode, that they are obligated to have avalible for download, no luck yet but I will continue. It would be nice with some custom Rom with the option for overclocking etc. There are some bugs in the current build of the Honeycomb 3.2 (016) Browser crash (exactly like my transformer did), slowdowns, bluetooth bug, very slow start. The bluetooth bug is kind of annoying. If I switch bluetooth on and then my headset on everything works, if I then switch bluetooth off on the mediapad its impossible to switched it back on again without reboot.

What isnt working on the current Ics beta for mediapad?

Are there no other way to create custom roms without having the sourcecode for mediapad? wouldent it work if we had the source code (kernel source) for some device that runs the on the same platform as mediapad (qct msm8X60)

PS. I know that the 7.7 screen does have 196 ppi but doesnt the mediapad have 216 ppi?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kamelot.sk:
Just tell me please whether someone has experienced random shutdown. Or should I apply warranty?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] henel321:
Did you read the post DIRECTLY above yours? If not, do it again. :) Not everyone seems to have them though. I haven't seen any since doing a completely fresh B16 install and restoring my apps using titanium.

I also have a Transformer and I haven't had any browser issues with neither the Mediapad (b16) or the Transformer (mostly Revolver custom rom, later versions.)

I had a few reboots, shutdowns and FCs on B12 but B16 has been completely stable since i installed it on Friday.

I have not experienced this at all and I currently use the Mediapad instead of my phone using bluetooth. My current headset is a Jawbone Icon, but it works well with a Sony Ericsson MW600 as well.

(7/7,7)*216=196. The Mediapad has a smaller screen, thus the higher pixel density.

It "ought" to work with the APK provided in this thread. I use regular 2G/3G voice/SMS on my mediapad and it is working very well indeed.

I have a bug where I can't answer calls using the screen when in landscape mode though, anyone else experiencing this - it is not an issue for me as I always use bluetooth but it is annoying. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:
Then you are very lucky because this is a major problem for others wether they use stock rom or revolver, etc.

Now I have exactly the same on the mediapad the strange thing is that it happens more frequently, first with 011, and then I flashed to 016 it was ok for a while then it started again and it was exactly the same on the transformer so maby something gets filled, temp, etc I dont know.

Hi, I've a MediaPad too and I wonder if it is possible to move apps 2 SD. Because the internal memory of the mediapad is already seen as an SD card. If you run App2SD, it tells that most of my apps are already on the SD card and I can't move them. The SD card is located at /SD/External ... Thanks in advance!!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Munk0:
Thank you for responding so quickly.

I just wanted to make sure I am understanding you without filling in the blanks that I usually do. You are using the Mediapad instead of the Springpad on the T-Mobile network in the USA using a custom ROM? Calls, 2G/3G all work without hickup other than the strange not being able to answer when in landscape?

link2sd works

copy paste from first google hit

Root your phone, I suggest this guide. [How-To] Root the LG Optimus V - Android Forums
Backup everything on the SD card, I suggest using Titanium Backup. Make sure there is a backup not on the SD card (like on your hard drive)
Connect your Optimus V to your computer and mount the SD card.
Resize the partition, I used Minitool Partition Wizard, leave 1-2gb of free space.
Create a new FAT32 partition with the free space, mark it as primary.
Disconnect your Optimus V and reboot it.
Download and install Link2sd if you have not done so already.
Run Link2sd, it will tell you it needs to reboot to mount the second partition.
Run Link2sd, it will list all apps it can move and tell you which ones are currently on the SD. It can't do anything with the apps on the SD already.
Inside Link2sd select an app to link to your sd.
If your app is on your internal memory select Create Link.
If your app is on the SD card select Manage. This will take you to the stock app management screen. Move the app back to the phone.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] henel321:
Just because I wrote that my Mediapad shutdown twice yesterday... :D

I haven't had anything browser related though, on both occasions I saw the WLAN losing "blue sync connection to google" and then after 30-60 seconds it just shutdown. Feels like there's a big great memory leak somewhere. :eek:

I seriously doubt there will be that many 7"-alternatives by then. I mean, the Tab 7.7 was released with 3.2 and it was presented on the 1st of September if I remember correctly. (5,5 months before it became publically available...)

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
A few questions as I'm thinking of buying this tablet to use in Canada:

1) Has anyone found a reliable affordable SIM unlock code provider for the T-Mo Springboard?

2) I have read here that the only known root for the Springboard so far is to flash the Mediapad image which messes up "4G", but "4G" is really just a marketing term. Do you mean it just won't display the 4G icon anymore? Or do you actually see a significant decrease in speeds after flashing?

3) I know that some have tried replacing radio files and it has not helped. Have you also tried checking in build.prop for the settings ro.ril.hsdpa.category, ro.ril.hsupa.category, ro.ril.hsxpa?

They are described here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9781-buildprop-roril-meanings/

Would any of that help bring your speeds back up to "4G"?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Rumbi:
2) A few pages pack, someone tried to keep the boot.img of the Springboard and only flashed the other parts of the Mediapad-FW. He said he was successful, had an up2date Springboard/Mediapad Hybrid and also kept 4G...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mediapirate:
That would have been me however my boot.img and recovery.img files are still the factory images (T-Mobile Springboard). The rest of the partitions have been flashed to use the B16 images. I did loose the 4G icon however I'm still getting 4G speeds 4-5Mb down but my upload speeds have been seriously impacted (100-300kps). I'm thinking the files I need are in the /firmware folder so if anyone who has a T-Mobile Springboard can provide the files in their /firmware directory I can test this. I had backed up all my partitions with DD but for some reason I can't mount my firmware.img file?

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Interesting to know. Have you checked if HSUPA is disabled in your build.prop?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Another question: If the root method requires flashing partitions by fastboot...

Is it possible to flash only a custom recovery by fastboot, and then from there backup all the other Springboard partitions? Or can you only flash signed images?

If you can flash a custom recovery.img straight to the Springboard, you can apply an update.zip containing superuser, and get a rooted tablet with otherwise original firmware. That is, if custom recovery exists yet.

China on the page if you have the B021 and says he is Chinese, but I guess that comes default will be Chinese and can be changed into other languages, but it comes with the Chinese instead of English initially.

I can not get the link because this forum according to the new users can not post links and will not let me send the message if there is a link.
