wired mouse

No, don't have a microUSB to USB adapter. Thanks though, I might try that if nothing else works. Right now, I have a friend who has a mac with Android SDK on it, and can help me flash the kasty ondav972 3.2.1 ROM with format, so that should work. This issue has come up on slatedroid in the cyanogen threads and the advice is always to flash a stock ROM with phoenix.. usually followed by "thanks Chris Troy! that worked" so I am pretty hopeful that I haven't done any real damage

a couple notes and questions:

charging my onda now, had it in my bag for the day and it was on 30% battery so don't want to try anything with phoenix til its up to 70+, then will try from USB 2.0 slots, was using 3.0 and was advised by a friend who is familiar with VirtualBox that 3.0 compatibility is not good. Will report back.

Can anyone provide the files listed here:

w ww.slatedroid.com/topic/53170-correct-installation-phoenixsuit-usb-drivers-in-win-8/

for win x64 as an archive in dropbox or cloud and send me a link? I am not able to install Android SDK with Win8.1 for some reason, have tried all backwards compatibility options with no success, will continue to work with SDK (trying x86 version now) and report back.

If someone could help me with those files, i would Really appreciate it!! :highfive:

Thanks all!!

_________________edit:

is the adt-bundle archive that I download now from Android SDK site different? My bundle doesn't have those directories, and I just read that there is no install necessary for that bundle, that it comes ready to roll. What am i doing wrong? i can't see <sdk>\extras\google\usb_drivers, in my extras folder there is android\support in which is

samples

v4

v7

v13

NOTICE.txt

README.txt

source.properties

a search though the support folder and all subfolders yielded nothing for "usb" "drivers" "*.inf" or "*.cab" and a search of the whole archive yielded nothing for the dir usb_drivers, although there are a ton of smaller zip archives so maybe its buried somewhere... not sure at all.

phoenixsuit without language

h ttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b166/mhartigan/xp2_zpsbaa485eb.png

So VirtualBox recognizes my device (as a samsung for some reason, whatever) connected via USB 2.0, but when i flash and hear the USB connect sound, whether pressing the green button in phoenixsuit before or after connect, I get that screen in the link up there

Can anyone tell me what it says? or how to get phoenix in english language? thank you kindly. I am afraid my virtual hard drive with XP doesn't have full language support at present, and am not sure how to enable anything but those boxes

after pressing the left button in the above screenshot, I am taken to a prompt with a red X and one button, then again the same, then a prompt with five steps (assuming its telling me how to flash my a31 tablet, not sure) with one button. I can not get the VB XP phoenix to recognize my tablet to give me the prompt to format or not, then flash ROM... thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone,

Touchscreen of my onda v972 v1 is unresponsive. Furthermore, in stock recovery only power button works.

Few days ago i let the tablet down on flooring… A little mark is on the upper right side of the sreen.

Two monts ago i flashed Cyanogenmod 10.3 with TWRP 2.6, it was perfect but battery drain too much.   I’d like to back to Kasty 2.3 or 3 then i flashed Kasty 2.3 but in the same time the tablet down !

Then, i don’t know if unresponsive touchscreen is hardware or firmware ?

Since, i flash some kasty and some stock : no way. Phoenix procedure OK, reboot OK but no touchscreen yet.

Maybe i need the correct compatibility file but i can’t flash them with phoenix.

Thanks for your advices.

different screen resolution when benchmarking v972

Hey folks, when I'm benchmarking my newly received Onda v972 V2 (with Antutu or Vellamo, for example), after the benchmark is done, when I check the tablet specs at the 'details' tab, it shows that the display resolution is actually 2048 X 1440, or, sometimes, 1952 X1536 (always '96' less than the advertised 2048 X 1536). Does anyone have this problem too? Could I have been cheated by the seller or is this normal for the Onda? Is my screen resolution worse than normal? Thank you for sharing your opinions

BTW, I'm using the most recent kasty ROM. Besides this and a bad touch screen resposivity (that I figure must be normal), the tablet runs smoothly

onda v972 speakers fried by app

Hi,

I have an Onda v972 running 4.2.2 on firmware build v3.2_v2.

I downloaded an app called Boost Your Volume by Bresaconggul. WRONG MOVE.

When I ran the app to calibrate it, (a progressively loud screech and a phone ringing noise), my speakers started crackling.

I began to play a song, and the entire thing was distorted. Same thing happened when I played a movie (on various players) or a game.

Any audio file I open, or program with audio, is now distorted. The only way to get rid of the distortion is to turn the volume almost all the way off.

Volume through the ear buds is fine; no distortion and full volume there.

I downloaded an equalizer, and as long as I have 60hz and 23hz well below 0, there's no distortion, but the overall volume is still too low.

Are my external speakers permanently fried? If I reflash the OS, will the sound be restored?

Any suggestions? Please?

Thanks.

Archos Platinum 97 HD

Hi,

I have the above tablet which is rooted and has CM11 installed.

Over the last few days its developed a fault whereby the touchscreen buttons flash randomly and the screen goes daft. Occassionally the screen functions normally for a few minutes but then goes nuts again. Overclockers UK have refused a repair due to rooting it.

Does anyone know what this problem is likely to be before I stump up more cash for a new digitizer from aliexpress. I already have a replacement LG battery waiting to be fitted to boost the woeful battery life which seems like a waste of money now.

I'm kind of hoping it might be swollen battery pushing the screen which means I dont need to spend any money on it. I've tried several different roms so it doesnt appear to be software related.

Anyone any ideas??

thanks

[Android General] ^andrea^:
Regarding sending it back, vendors often use the fact that the tablet has been rooted as an excuse for not repairing/replacing it.

This is unfair, above all when you don't have to unlock the bootloader or modify permanently anything else, like with the Onda v972.

As far as I know, you should be able to restore the original firmware.

I would have contacted the seller after having restored the tablet back to its original firmware.

Anyway, at this stage I suppose you can restore the tablet to original and then if you still experience the same problem try to contact them again.

Do you always experience this problem or only when you are charging the tablet?

For me the screen goes a bit mad when the tablet is plugged it. To make it stop I have to touch the back ot the tablet with my hand.

Some electric **** is going on there... :-/

Good Luck!

Andrea
[Android General] nm10721:
Thanks for the replying. The problem is I COULDN'T restore it back to the Archos firmware as you can't get it ANYWHERE. It goes haywire even when it's not plugged in. I've got the upgraded LG battery at home which arrived from China. I'm gonna fit that when the tablet arrives back on Monday and see if that helps things. If not I'm gonna order a new digitizer from ali express
[Android General] Traprock:
nm,

any progress reports very appreciated. My v972 lost wifi a week ago, now my display is playing up. Some parts of the screen not touch responsive, I have to rotate to get touch to work a specific icon. The unit does a berserker every so often and runs though its own random sequence of touch responses, without my input. I am also waiting on a new battery. Firmware up and downgrades haven't helped.
[Android General] nm10721:
I should get the tablet back today and will fit the battery tonight hopefully. In any case I will report back here to see if it makes any difference. I suspect it won't and I'll have to buy a digitizer
[Android General] nm10721:
Well I fitted the new battery and the screen is still playing up although at one point it seemed ok then went tits up again. Then I broke the screen whilst opening and shutting the case trying to make the battery fit. Not too bothered about that though as I obviously need a new digitizer in any case. Ive just ordered one from seller cui1873 on ebay. Couldnt post the link sorry
[Android General] Traprock:

repartitioning onda v2 internal drives

Hi all,

I still have this old Onda v972 v2 that I still use for comics, youtube, watching series on VLC when travelling or at the kitchen table. Sure, it's ancient but has a nice screen, I replaced its battery a few years ago and it still does the few things I need it for so why not use it. Unfortunately out of 16GB it only has 2GB internal system memory for apps + their cache and the rest is wasted in that stupid second internal memory where no apps can be moved.

Is there a way to repartition this internal space? If I could make it one unified partition would be ideal but even getting some GB over to the apps partition could be enough. I don't mind reformatting it from the start, all important data is on the SD anyway. If I remember well it had the latest version of kasty's modified firmware that I got from here (I see an arctablet.com logo on boot). Thanks.
