At last, an inexpensive multitouch tablet

I just picked up a factory refurbished A7+ for $120 (Toronto, Canada) today and I must say, its touch screen is just about on par with an iPad. I would love to be able to upgrade the unit past v2.2 and at least to Gingerbread but there doesn't seem to be anyone looking at this device on XDA at the moment.

I'd be more than happy to help with hardware mods for the device.

Might creating an A7+ section in parallel to the A7 help differentiate the two devices and prompt some work on the OS?

If you want to have a look at the guts of the unit, go to the FCC-ID OET site, plug in the FCCID (GKR-NAZ10WB) and select the "detail" list.

I noticed that the docking connector is actually on a daughter board that plugs in to the main board. There is no docking connector on the A7+ but there is on the A7.

I also saw there is a slot for a GSM card in the photos!!!

I'll have to open up my unit and verify if my A7+ has the GSM card slot.

Stay tuned
[A7 General] digidog_A7+:
hey bigbop,

did you also notice in those pictures that the board has a netbook style ssd connector ? :) :) :)

I am willing to bet that it has a 4GB ssd attached to it instead of 4GB of flash soldered to the board..

hummm I wonder ... 64GB A7+ anyone ? plus whatever microSD card you jam in the top.

comments from any of the more system savvy people about ghosting the original system to a different size "drive" ?????
[A7 General] bigbop:
Well, unfortunately the A7+ motherboard is different from the A7 in that the internal gsm card slot has been removed and the connector that the docking station daughterboard plugs in to is not installed (the pads are there so you might be able to hack together a cable to bring out the signals for an additional interface)

Actually, does anyone have the specs on the A7 dock? What external ports does it provide?
[A7 General] zharkov:
The chap I bought my A7+ from told me that his wholesale guy (in Canada) had bought five hundred units (at $50 a pop) and they were officially designated as "Factory Refurbished" - he sold them all in two weeks. I've seen them in other places too lately, popping up around the $110 mark. It is a fantastic device, touchscreen is great, Netflix runs great. Easy to McGyver into markets or Apps. I know that Elocity have released the A7 and A7+ kernel information (the A7 package is 432mb and the A7+ is 115mb for some reason) so we can hope that a developer picks it up and runs. If the parent company are jumping ship on the market we can see 50,000 of these units in the hands of people hungry for Honeycomb, well, we can all dream I suppose...
[A7 General] kellmandroid:
IMHO the A7+ would be a great tablet IF Elocity would release an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for it. As long as the A7+ is stuck at 2.2 you are better off saving your money and buying an Allwinner A10 based tablet. The A7+ hardware is great, but the OS is garbage. Mine never wakes from sleep, and can't play ANY HD video smoothly. I paid more for the A7+ then I did for my iview TPC760 or my Kindle Fire, and the A7+ is defiantly the biggest turd of them all.

play store 3.5.16 working like a charm on A7+

will repost this on end of get market working on a7+ thread

I followed the destructions provided here (use at own risk, worked perfect for me)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1431967

Thank you Destron5683

with a few exceptions, as noted in the reply's most people had to manually reboot

I bought root explorer on amazon market, required for getting base market working.

Once you get that up and running it's fairly straight forward to install

play Vending-3.5.16.apk (destructions below) which is available from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582422

scroll to bottom of first post and look for the attached files, I used the non mod version, save this file to root of an sd card

Thank you Deeco7

Again follow at your own risk, this process worked for me, it may not work for you...

I kept an sd card in so I could backup the file in a place that won't get overwritten/deleted if I have to factory reset at some point

open root explorer, make sure your at / in upper left corner, next navigate to /system/app scroll down list to Vending.apk

, long press, copy, hit back twice so your at / again, navigate to /storage/sdcard-disk0 (or wherever you prefer to save backup)

press paste, now rename file to Vending.bak (or whatever you will remember)

rename the Vending-3.5.16.apk to Vending.apk

long press it and select copy, navigate back to /system/app , hit Mount R/W , delete Vending.apk , then paste your new Vending.apk into folder.

hit back button untill root explorer exits, then shut off and restart

you should have Play Store icon in app bin, press it and enjoy.

not sure if it was my router or isp or tablet, apps didn't want to start downloading in play store,

as soon as I exited from play store it had downloaded 1 app and was getting the second one,

they installed fine, hope this helps people (next time I ran play it worked fine so likely isp)

Non Mod version

Hello Ryan,

What is the difference from the Mod version and the Non Mod Version? I have rooted using Z4root and I would like not to install any Mod on it since at this point it breaks camera on Mods that I seen. This Market (Non Mod verision) does it allow to install software that it would not normally install on the system or do I need to edit the buildprop in order to do that? I am looking for older versions of Netflix and Skype to go around the issue (hopefully that works) so I can have a fuller working tablet without changing much on it. I know that video does not work on skype, but the voice and chat should work on version 2.0.45 apk. I also heard that netflix version 1.3 would work.

I used to use pdair aluminum cases with all of my smartphones. They offer the best protection but they limit your signal strength. If I was unable to connect to GPS or cell, I could remove the case and the signal would improve markedly. I have not tried the one for the E4GT but I think it would be more of the same.

Otherwise search the forum about how to do it, there are already Infinite+1 threads about this topic around now (you are definitely not the first one who managed to soft-brick).

Well now the looks for sprint to have an LTE partner other than itself and Clear are looking dim according to this story. Lightsquared was going to be a big help to Sprints LTE efforts and give them more spectrum to work with and enable users to connect to.

The issue has always been GPS interference with Lightsquared's LTE implementation. What MANY people FAIL to realize its NOT Lightsquared's fault for the interference. The GPS handsets/systems are encroaching on Lightsquared's Spectrum/frequency and that is whats causing the interference. The FCC even made notice to give manufacturers many many years heads up notice that Lightsquared was coming and using Freq X but the manufacturers did squat and so in turn they still encroach on the signal causing issues to themselves. Now b/c they have been there for so long everyone looks at it as if Lightsquared is causing the problem but its actually the other way around.

Whats sad is even though lightsquared made deals with other companies to implement fixes on these GPS handsets for FREE, it still didn't fly with ppl.

It's truly a shame the GPS manufacturers are so set in there way and control so much of the FCC, as in they have much much more $$ to toss around capitol hill and get things their way.

Now we will be the ones hurt in the end by this more than anyone else.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
That's what I out up in the 3D section on this.

Btw it doesn't mean no LTE as sprint is doing their own LTE aside from what they were going to share with lightsquared and Clear.

I don't know what is going to happen to light squared, but sprint will deliver their 4g just as they planned. The main purpose of light squared was to have more spectrum and more resources to use with their 4g network.

* This rom was mod by me about one month ago. However, after realizing there were actually many similar modified stock roms exist in this forum, I decided not to post this rom. But now, I reconsidered my decision just in case there is someone who owns I9020A or any other Nexus S GSM variants (not include I9020T because there is already a official one) and wants stock ICS experience *

* I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE *

This ROM is slightly modified from the original ICS rom for I9020T. (Link here)

Download Link

Changes to the stock ICS rom is minimized.

They are:

Removed bootloader and radio images which are meant for I9020T

Removed script which flashs bootloader and radio image from the updater-script file

In the build.prop, changed ro.product.name from soju to sojua

And that is it. There is no any other customizations done to the rom.

This rom will only be recoverable in Clockworkmod recovery.

This rom has been tested on I9020A and it works flawlessly. It should probably work on M200 but I am not sure. And for I9020T users, you can ignore this rom because there is an official ICS rom for your guys.

I've been using it for couple hours now and it fast and flawless for stock. This "stock" rom kicks @$$, but also takes forever to re root. After trying several different methods I finally got root to stick and change roms. So flash at your own risk people!!!!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
To instal cyanogenMOD your bootloader must be UNLOCKED first..

You may void warranty then.

CyanogenMOD is just clean android 2.3.X version, with theme chooser and ADW launcher..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogo415:
what you ought to do are

1. read some great guides from general topics.

2. learn about unlocking bootloader and it's RISKs.

3. OverClocking? yes, it's worthy to try and play around. of course you have to unlock BL first, since you need a custom kernel to start oc.

4. backup your Rom with cwm recovery before you ever flashing something to your phone.

hope this help... :-)

It's in the market, but it lists the Galaxy Nexus as incompatible. Prior reading has shown that this has been an on going issue on many devices (listing it as incompatible when in actuality, it would install fine and work fine). So I was wondering if anybody could post the APK file for the latest one (it's a free app, so I don't think this is against the rules, if it is please close the thread).

If this doesn't work, I was also wondering if anybody could make it compatible?

Please and thank you regardless!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Try Googling the APK. If its unavailable for the nexus to download then most of the people in this forum may not have access to it.

They also probably didn't update it for ICS which is why it probably shows incompatible. And it might be with the ICS drivers.

Funny, I didn't know what this BlueAnt app was until I bought one today and went looking for the App in the "Play Store". Did a google search and this thread popped up that I previously replied too. lol.

Seems to be working fine as far as the app downloaded manually from their website. Using it now, although it seems useless outside of "reading text messages".

But I'm having a problem with Name Announce. I went through a Jawbone which claimed to do it... and used several 3rd party apps to try to make it work, until I gave up and got this. I've synced my phonebook 3 times now but my work number, under "Corporate", but when I call it just says the number.

I use Email for exchange which syncs my work contacts into my gmail contacts. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. I'm going to try to delete the work number and re-create it under my gmail listings and see if that works.

[UPDATE]

Funny that worked. It won't sync my work exchange contacts, thus just reads the number. I would have to manually delete all the exchange contacts and physically add them in under my personal Gmail contacts.

This would work, but part of using the exchange is that it automatically keeps everything up-to-date with new/old employees.

I guess its time to report a bug to BlueAnt. Personal name announce is a step in the right direction at least... and I moved my main corporate number over so at least it covers 90% of my inbound work calls. We work in the field so I do get lots of calls from cellphones, which in this case wouldn't name announce.

Just a heads up for XDA and Google reference.

Download a diagnostics app such as Sensor List (vector rotation sensor) or Z-DeviceTest and check that your X-Y-Z axis are actually changing in "real time".
