[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Hi guys! I noticed there are no threads here about cheap tablets with the quad core MT8389 chip. Tabs with this CPU have more phone features than those running on Rockchip or Allwinner. For instance, this tab called Freelander PX2 has 3G and GPS. Most of all, it is dual SIM! You can see the full specs here: http://www.chinatabletreview.com/freelander-px2

Now I do not see many tablets with these 3 features combined. But I'm pretty sure this tab may have some bugs and as with most Chinese tablets, support for firmware updates could be a problem. I just hope there are already people who have developed ROMs for these tablets. Are there any? If not, maybe we should pay more attention to these tabs...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
For the $155 they're charging, the HiSense Sero 7 Pro is a better buy at $129. Higher res screen (1280x800), same quad core CPU. HiSense has 5 point multi touch though (vs 10 point on the PX2). The built in 3G is a bit moot because the bands will mostly get you 2G EDGE data on any GSM carrier in the U.S (although the 850 band might get you 3G on AT&T in *some * areas where they have 3G on 850).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Thanks for the info LordLugard! HiSense Sero 7 Pro looks good with that price. Surely a great buy!

Do you own a HiSense Sero 7 Pro tablet LordLugard? Could you give us a short review of that tab?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
I don't own one but reviews are all over the web and very positive. Just go a general Google search.

Here are a few:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix.chia:
Great find!

Great find LordLugard! I bought the Freelander PX2 a week back from Aliexpress because I thought they would have it cheap if anything. It's a 155USD shipped with DHL and it works like a dream. Only problem is the screen! If the HiSense Sero 7 is good, it'll be evem better with a lower price and better screen!

I would love to try out the HiSense Sero 7 Pro! Any clue where you can get them?

Everything works as spec-ed out. Only thing is that althought it seems to have a proximity or light sensor it isn't working or supported yet. Other than that it's great.

It is root-able with "Framaroot-1.6.0.apk" from an xda thread

And the manufacturer supposedly provides the stock firmware (not confirmed though)

The Sero 7 Pro looks PERFECT!

Edit! Any idea if they will be available for international customers? I would love to get a couple!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Unfortunately the Hisense Sero 7 Pro is exclusive to WalMart stores in the U.S (I notice you're in Singapore) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hisense-Sero-7-Pro-7-Tablet-Quad-Core-Processor-with-8GB-Memory/24805142. But i'll wager they might be available on eBay or thereabouts.

A general eBay search comes up with this http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...C0&_nkw=hisense+sero+7+pro&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix.chia:
:) Thanks LordLugard! Yea it seems like it :( Perhaps I could get someone to ship it over for me too! Yes they do! Thanks again Sometimes it's better to use ebay's main site rather than the respective countrys' to get all the items. Perhaps use a mail forwarding service in the US. Thanks again man! Quick reply too! It's 0730 here in Singapore :)

Noticed the Sero 7 Pro has no inbuilt SIM slots for 3G. The PX2 has Dual SIM (not that I even use them) and has call function too, being a phablet. But the Sero 7 Pro seems to be rock solid with NFC, HD screen (at least 720p!), dual speakers, 4000mAh (PX2 3200mAh) and most importantly would be its ability to attract developers and has support. I see updates that HiSense will bring Android 4.3 in too!

I forgot to mention the Freelander PX2 only has 5 point multi touch. If any sources say otherwise that's fake specs!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Thanks for the input guys! HiSense Sero 7 Pro is definitely a keeper. Are there any other MT8389 tablets that are noteworthy?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Hi felix.chia! Could you tell us your impressions with your Freelander PX2?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix.chia:
Impressions

I bought this tablet after comparing it with other Chinese tablets/phablets. I'd say if your budget is about 160USD shipped then this 7" Phablet is the perfect choice. The specs are as listed and feels true to them. It is a very speedy tablet. Processing wise as well as surfing with Wifi or 3G. I went to look for ways to root it. xda forum has a method and it works with the Freelander PX2.

Only relative cons are well its screen which isn't at least 720p for HD videos and the screen is slightly white-ish regarding its contrast. Something I've seen on alot of reviews for Chinese screens. Nothing major but just to know. I will see if I can get screenshots of benchmarks I've done (Antutu, Vellamo, 3DMark, Quadrant). The speaker is a just a little softer than brand names. Of course the important point is that you get what you paid for and I'd say the Freelander PX2 has every buck squeezed out for the best fit of hardware :)

One teeny weeny itch is perhaps its Processor which states MTK8389. On every benchmarking app it too shows the specs are all in order. Except for CPU Identifier app from Play Store as well as when you plug it in to your pc/laptop it shows it as MTK65xx. Nothing to go crazy over but for those who're really picky, it might bug you. Nevertheless it's extremely speedy. I'm really happy with it. I think if you tried it you would get one for yourself. I got one for myself and everyone wants one :) Cheap and definitely good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdragonpt:
Just dont expect (serious) development on this Mediatek SoC.

Mediatek uses alot of Closed Sources..

All the last SoC Sources (MT6575, MT6577; MT6589, etc) are missing those important sources, and without it, theres no way to compile an fully working kernel, or compile an rom from source.

So, think better before buying...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Strange but I think I have already read this somewhere else. Is this you thegauntlet? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix.chia:
good info

Thanks superdragonpt for that insight! Nevertheless I must say without development the Freelancer PX2 does meet the needs of budget users. I would love for yhr HiSense Sero 7 Pro to be available internationally but the price would probably be higher.

Really depends on your uses. For a 155USD DHL Shipped you cannot go wrong.

Budget users would love it.

Hey toffzter, yes it is me. Sorry been busy and its the same so I wrote the same impressions. I'm currently hospitalized so the PX2 has been great company!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
Hi felix.chia! Sorry to hear about your hospitalization. No worries because your review at slatedroid is very informative. Sorry too that I asked for your impressions, again. I didn't know it was you. :)

Anyway, get well soon! I hope Freelander PX2 will take good care of you while you're there! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brilliantdonkey:
The HiSense Sero 7 Pro seems to only support Bluetooth 3.0, however, while the MT8389 tabs should have Bluetooth 4.0.

Do you guys know if the MT8389 tablets support Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, though? They don't run Android 4.3 (which is when BLE support was introduced), but in some places around the web, the 8389 tablets claim to support Bluetooth Low Energy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toffzter:
I'm not sure about BLE. Maybe we'll have to wait until these tabs run on Android 4.3.

I own the 3 of them Hisence, the freelander and the HD-89 with the MTK8389

Why I own the 3 of them? by mistake First I got the Hisence from Walmart with a 2 years protection plan and i need a cheap plan cell phone as well So I end up looking for one and ebaying a bit i found the freelander. Mean time the Hisence burned the battery so it was send for repairs and been a month and not returns of the Hisence. I was happy with my cell phone plan net10 good data speed, good coverage area, again found the Freelander 7" phablet. but I got disappointed because the volume was so low and was not taking the battery charge, try it to get my money back or an exchange, It was a total frustration, I almost put it in the trash can; one day I went to the attic and by a chance saw a Motorola cable and charger. Decided to give the Freelander a try and it began to chargeeee. But I already ebaying a bit and found the MTK8389 and I end up buying because in my work, I need one fast. Impress with the delivering, It worked good out of the box, The ATT net10 sim card worked super fine just added data networks and I got a very fast. Still I have plans for the other tablets, my family plan on Net10 will use them following that afeter the fullcharge in the Freelander all its failures dessapeared. Hisence has a HDMI and just a 5MP rear camera and not cell phone abilities. the other 2 will do very well as the monstrous smart phone in the market for just 200 bucks. The HD-89 Mini 3G has an 8mp camera that i need for my work, and impresive movie palying. Have not test its HDMI functions yet. so far so good. I may try to do some rooting later. :laugh:

I've checked my pre-installed camera SW and my camera works fine... so ,,,

2- Uninstall the App then Restart then install and try without update -----> Not successful.

3- Uninstall the App and Uninstall all the Apps which were installed this week too then restart then clean cache then restart then install and try again -----> Not successful.

4- Reflash the ROM using CWM (without clear Cache or wipe data or factory settings... just flash ROM) -----> Not successful.

5- wipe dalvik cache... -----> Not successful.

and ......

6- install another FX App, SAME ERROR with all 3rd-Party-Camera Apps.....

the issue is not with the FXguru, but with the connection between my camera and the 3rd-Party-Camera Apps...

Because HDMI is ALL it has. no composite video on ring2 of the headphone jack, no other way to get video out of the phone onto a bigger screen.

you plug this into your phone, then you can plug your phone into a monitor or projector that doesn't have an HDMI input but has VGA or RGBHV (with appropriate cables)

Many conference rooms/presentation rooms/auditoriums still don't have HDMI/DVI on podiums but use RGB video distribution systems,

and it looks great.

Like many of you, I've noticed that no matter what I do, my G2X just slows down over time. It seems like it is always faster after a reflash.

Now we find out that Android hasn't been performing TRIM functions on internal memory on many devices. I wonder if the G2X is one of them, and that's why we all seem to experience slowdown after a while?

Maybe just a Nandroid backup / Scrub / Restore is all that's needed to put everything back to spiffy condition, since I doubt cm7 is ever going to get TRIM support. Just a thought.
