[Miscellaneous Android Development] RadugaUK:
Hi Guys,

Just purchased one of these myself and was happy enough with the device... until about 5 mins ago.

I bought the 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage version.

When looking at the storage space, I could see only 1GB system partition and 12 GB storage 13/16GB. I could write off the other 3GB as filesystem and partitioning loss (although this seems a lot to lose).

Then looking at the specs in Android System info, I can the the device is only reporting 1.5GB RAM. Now, this is unacceptable and I can think of no reason why I would be losing 0.5GB RAM.

Then it occurred to me that the other 0.5GB could be used by the GPU. Does anyone know if this is the case - or even if this occurs on tablets?

If I can't find a good reason for the missing 3GB storage and 0.5GB RAM, it will be returned. Which is a shame as I was quite happy with the device until it started to look like I hadn't got what I had paid for.

Can anyone else verify my findings?

Cheers Guys

Rad.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
The storage is divied into:

-system

-USB Storage

-App storage

And to soothe you: You can not have a tablet with 15 or 13 GB cause only a potency of two is possible.

And yes, the GPU uses ~512MB of ram, so no reason to worry about. Even my Galaxy Note uses ~128MB of the ram.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RadugaUK:
thanks for the clarification of the spec,

Definitely an odd one with the storage though, I've re-flashed and have 'Internal Storage' of 1GB (assuming this is system and 'Internal Storage' of 11.59 GB for storage. That's 12.59 GB. Round that up to 13GB to take in to account filesystem requirements which means I'm not seeing 3GB of the storage.

I've checked my phone (HTC One S running 4.3) and that shows the full 16GB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
As I told you: It has to be a potency of two. Or do you know a USB stick with 12 or 10 GB storage?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RadugaUK:
I understand what you are saying, which is why the figures the tablet is providing are all the more confusing.

To achieve 13GB of storage the internal storage of the device must be 16GB - I'm just wondering where the other 3GB is
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
My tablet has:

-12GB für Music etc

-1GB for Apps

-1GB for android itself

Maybe the rest is for systemfiles too. But if you are more intrested in this you can ask Christan Troy in the Slatedroid Forum ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raybudd:
You mentioned that you reflashed, with which firmware? Some fw only show 1gb while some other show 2gb.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GreenTree2:
Can anybody tell me how to revert back to stock firmware after flashing to Cynamogen 10.2. I have tried various firmwares, after installing TWRP, but have to say that all are found extremely lacking. The touch sensor on the tablet feels worse after installing the firmwares as compared to the stock firmware that they tablet came with.

Therefore, I would like to revert back to the stock firmware for which TWRP has to be replaced by the stock thing first and only then can I flash the device with a stock firmware. Looking forward to some support.

Thanks & Regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GreenTree2:
Anyone at all ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
Just flash the Build via PhoenixSuite.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GreenTree2:
Thanks for your reply. However, the instructions state that TWRP has to be replaced with the stock system before anything can be done. That is what is confusing me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
It worked fine for be without replacing anything. After flashing with Phoenix suite twrp is gone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GreenTree2:
Strange!!

Everytime I make an attempt to install the official firmware, Phoenix Suite reboots the device (which is the actual process to install) into recovery mode which incidentally boots into TWRP thus rendering the process unable to proceed further. It is therefore highly unlikely that you could have done it.

Perhaps, you are missing something that you had to do before you could use Phoenix Suite?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
I don't do anything before using Phoenix. Maybe you should ask Christian Troy @ statedroid for more informations.

Hi,Guys! I yesterday flashing NOVO9 of my son with FW a31_ainol_novo906fc_SG_3.2_1.5_v1.img. It is silver back door with black frame around the display. So I flash version for SG. ERROR!!!! Half display (right, when the camera is in the left) not response for touch!!! So, then I flash LX version and all is OK. Probably not true that for black version is SG firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thorazine74:
I think the only real difference between SG & LX could be the touch panel then, problem is its unclear which models need which version. I have dark grey back with black screen frame model and both SG & LX firmwares work...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
First you need to install this: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/96225-a31-devices-larger-data-partitions-for-cm-aokp-and-paranoid/

And then this: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/978...inner-a31-by-christiantroy-update-2014-01-03/

But only do this if you know what you are doing!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikkoscy:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pickarooney:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fotis12:
i am considering to buy this tablet and i would like to ask you what version is the last official update and if is smooth and about the screen clarity.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
The screen is the sams which is build in the Ipad 3/4 -> VERY clear!

And I suggest you to take a custom-rom from here: http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/682-spark-firewire-firmware-development/

I'm using the latest Omni-Rom 4.4!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fotis12:
Thanks for fast reply, what about battery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
Depends on how you use your Tablet:

- Wifi seems to drain the battery fast while surfing/downloading. -> +/- 4h

- Wifi turned of and yust watch some Videos -> 6-8h (maybe even more)

- playing games like GTA:SA -> 4h (maybe more, maybe less)

I get an average of 5-6h with mixed usage and I use it now for 10 months.

[Q] Is my screen dying?? Ainol Novo 9 Spark / Firewire

Hello,

It seems that there is a problem with the screen of my Ainol Novo 9 Spark. Initially i was using the original firmware and after 4-5 months of usage several stripes suddenly appear all over screen (see attached pics) and the tablet freezes from time to time.

My view was that is a firmware issue so i upgrade to cyanogenmod 10 ( thanks to Christian Troy) but after a while i experienced the same problem :(

I would like to understand if this is a hardware or software problem, please check also the attached photos.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
Try to reflash a a stock firmware from Ainol. If that doesn't help I think its a damaged Battary or Display.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stelaras1:
thanks for your reply,

how I can tell if it's from battery or screen

is there a way? and if is the battery will I find batteries from stock to replace?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
I don't know, sorry. But you should have a look at http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/562-ainol-novo-9-spark-firewire/ . I think there is the best chance to get better help.

Good luck!

Help!

I bought a Novo 9 spark device. when I bought it already had cyanogenMod in it. I wanted to get it back to it's original rom so after doing research, I ended up at the recovery screen. I started trying to fix an issue I was having with not being able to recognize the sd card and the internal storage so then I started swiping things including it's rom! I rebooted with no rom in it so now it's stuck on the android logo... I tried pressing the volume + and the on button but nothing. So please if anyone can give me a step by step guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GreenTree2:
Guys, my kid dropped the Novo9 and its LCD screen is broken......the outer touch screen is fine and the touch sensors are also working flawlessly, however the internal LCD is damaged/crushed. Any advise on where I can get a replacement and whether it is worth it or not. The Kid got an iPad 4 as a replacement but I am hoping to revive this tablet for personal use.

All advises are most welcome. Please note that I have so far been unable to find help in my country Pakistan and even the official distributor is unable to arrange the LCD.....actually the official distributor is now closed officially!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikc0069:
I've actually got a Spark 2. Are there any custom roms for this? I'm thinking not as it uses the Actions 7039 cpu but I couldn't find anything and thought this might be the best place to ask.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxLeoxx93:
Look at slatedroid. I think they have a custom rom.

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=297621&uk=420337580

Update Instructions:-

Step 1. Download and install PhoenixSuit

Step 2. Download firmware image from above link for your tablet and load it in PhoenixSuit. If you receive error in PhoenixSuit, you can try moving the firmware file to desktop. That worked for me.

Step 3. Enable USB debug in tablet's developer settings and connect to computer. PhoenixSuit will inform you of this and then it's just follow the instructions on screen.

Alternative Step 3. If this normal procedure does not work and/or your tablet is a little soft bricked. You can try the following:

-Unplug USB-cable from computer.

-Power off your tablet. (Holding the power button for approx 10 seconds if the tablet is locked/black screen after boot)

-Press and hold the Home-button on the tablet, and plug in the USB cable.

-Continue to keep the home-button pressed and click on the Power button very shortly (about 0,5 seconds) about 10 times.

You should see a new dialog box appear in PhoenixSuit asking you to perform a "Mandatory format"

- Select "yes" to enter the format upgrade mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TekniskM:
Thanx for information.

I tried this on my Spark and many of my problems got much better :)

- WiFi is more stable, but still very weak.

- Device seems more responsive and do not seam to glitch

- When dragging new icons to the homescreen the placement screen seem to have been fixed (not the tiny little windows any more)

Issues that have not been fixed:

The device cant turn around videos in ex YouTube. So it still shows up side down.

Since the download link from china was so slow i have uploaded the firmware and PhoenixSuite to my webserver.

Link: Infopage for Firmware w/download

Hope this helps those who needs it quickly.

hey wi-fi make me sick...This ****ty thing make me freak...

Anyone could get better signal with it?

(I updated 20130313-V1 firmware but a bit progress about wi-fi!)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] optimus12:
i have an ainol tablet and i think its time for an upgrade:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morphfxf:
yeah should have waited they released the fixed English version that doesn't have the WiFi issue and all Chinese apps are gone. I got mine yesterday its current firmware is 20130122-V1. FYI if you bought the english verison don't flash this update it will put back all the chinese apps. wait till they release an update to the english version
[Miscellaneous Android Development] glen.ricky:
But if you cannt wait you can flash it and change the language by yourself as it is very easy. And then disable all chinese apps which doesnt take 5 minutes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morphfxf:
Yeah you can do that too. To switch to English from Chinese go to Settings > A icon > First option > English
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TekniskM:
Are you saying that that firmware does not have wifi issues?

Upload anyone?

I hope this get's fixed soon. Allmost everything on this tablet is just perfect.

But it is not good when it's impossible to get any signal.

Even when just beside the hotspot.

Actually i have been a few places where the wifi works allmost the way it should.

But i have several hotspots on ch11 and does not help at all.

But for those of you that have tried this, when pulling it apart and put the antenna on the outside of the enclosure the wifi works the way it should.

Are everyone sure this will be fixed with firmware?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] itaysp:
from what I've heard, Ainol replaced the wifi module in the last batch of novo 9, so I'm guessing it's an hardware thing and not sure that firmware will solve it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morphfxf:
No they released a new batch of novo 9 tablets that fixes the wifi issue and is all English firmware not the same as the Chinese one. Read about it here http://bbs.ainol.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=43624&extra=page=1

From what I see on thread, new firmware doesn't help on the wifi problems.

Whoever have already tested this please let us know:

- Wifi improvements?

- Battery state. Threads mentioning that battery drawn fast...is that true?

- Sound problems?

Thanks in advance!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] FlipMorten:
If you have of the first batch, then there's has been any particular reports of improvemetns, if changig to channel 11 did not already help.

Some modify the antenna, some drill two small holes (from inside out) over where the antenna is and cover the holes from the inside with electrical tape. This evidently helps dramatically.

Picture borrowed from slatedroid

Battery has remained unchanged for my part 4-5 hours with the screen on. Exept that I have now underclocked mine to 720MHz. I've found it can still play the same games as I want to play without problem, and same with HD videos. It helps keep the battery go longer as it very often goes straigt to 1008MHz - even under simple loads. ON the opposite end, I think someone was able to overclock to 1.2 GHz with either this new firmware or custom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manfly9884:
Well as for WI-FI, I can't say since I never experienced any problems with it. One app that does not appear to work is Google +, which is odd since it did work with the latest updated ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manfly9884:
Hi people. Have a little situation. I was messing around with the buildprop and accidently deleted it. Now I cant boot up my tablet. Is there anything that can be done to revive it?

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morphfxf:
No way to boot it up without reflashing. phoenixsuite is your best bet.

-Unplug USB-cable from computer.

-Power off your tablet. (Holding the power button for approx 10 seconds if the tablet is locked/black screen after boot)

-Press and hold the Home-button on the tablet, and plug in the USB cable.

-Continue to keep the home-button pressed and click on the Power button very shortly (about 0,5 seconds) about 10 times.

Grab the newest firmware and follow the instructions for updating your tablet on page 1 or 3
