Why to do this and use a case designed for another product, when you can easily find the right case from many Chinese shops?

I bought one from onda-tablets-dot-com when I order the tab. Fits nice and worth the money, IMO. Can't post a a link but it should be easy enought to find. It's made specifically for the V975M and costs under $14.

[Device Reviews and Information] Frightened Rat:
If the purpose made cases are just exactly what you want then that's great.

Back at the time when I was looking there wasn't a purpose build case with an integrated bluetooth keyboard and sturdy multi-angle stand, which is what I was after. I took a gamble on a leather-style ipad case that I could adapt and am glad I did because it suits my needs exactly - I really like the keyboard. I use keyboards quite a lot and am fussy about them. It's not for everyone, but it's useful to know that it is an additional option when you are looking.

Every 10.000 sold units or so brings a brilliant developer with it I guess.

This is the best selling device in China for the moment so it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world discovers it.

I think in the near future we will have our developer who will make this already very good device even better.

This is the Onda Chinese website product page

onda.cn/Tablet/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductId=265

If you scroll right down to the bottom you'll see that it seems like comes with 4.4 kitkat as standard in China now.

The third tab is downloads, they have 2 firmwares available, since they have 4.4 listed on the product page, I'm guessing these firmwares should be Android 4.4. I don't have the tablet yet so I can't test it.

I used Google translate and guesswork to navigate the site.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gnibbel2000:
These Firmware are the old known version 1.03 and 1.05 - These points are readable in english and german, they are written without chinese letters!
[Device Reviews and Information] CoopZor:
Great, so in the near future we can expect KitKat.

Would be nice from onda if they open a forum so they can listen to what the buyers want.

I have a Oppo phone and the interaction between customers and Oppo is excellent. Learn from this onda!

Ehi guys, Great news! Amlogic release source code for android 4.4 see this http://openlinux.amlogic.com/Android/Tablet/4.4_ReleaseInfo

so I hope that in Onda after Chinese New Year give a boost on make a good fw based on Android KiKat ;)

Good news I guess ^^

So, have you guys found anything annoying about this tablet? I'm thinking of buying it next month, so...?
[Device Reviews and Information] krepler:
It doesn't come standard with 4.4 in China either. The translation basically says that it supports KitKat 4.4. Hopefully they'll release it soon!

3 main bugs.

Youtube doesn't work.

Wifi disconnect when it goes to sleep no matter the setting.

Micro SD disconnect when it goes to sleep.

Have to mindful about how many apps you have open or change the scheduler to be more aggressive.
[Device Reviews and Information] Garret:
Thanks Max! Yeah, I'd read about the Youtube + Wifi off bug, didn't know that the the microsd card dissconnected. Stupid bugs, really. Hopefully, they will be fixed soon, they don't sound hard to fix.

- Concerning the Wifi bug, don't these "wifi always on" apps work?

This tablet is truly a great device.

It's very fast and has great wifi!

I ordered it from onda-tablet. It took a couple of days for them to send it out, but DHL was very quick in delivering it.

What kind of help are you thinking of offering?

Something along the lines of ROM developing? :fingers-crossed:

What ROM would you recommend as best?

I am not very satisfied with the tablet, i bought it as my PIPO M9 max got stolen... But the battery goes crazy fast and the screen animations and transitions seem pretty laggy and slow... Its not even close to what i expected based on the hardware inside :/

Do you know if this is normal and is there ANY way to make it run smoother?

Thank you in advance.

I'm a new v975m owner and after reading the last couple of pages I have 2 questions:

- whats the best fix for the standby battery draining problem? Some people say edit the build.prop file, others say airplane mode, others say deep sleep battery saving app?

- Whats the best firmware for making the tablet work smoothly? Right now I'm on 4.3 and the whole experience is terribly sluggish, even borderline unusuable. should I get the official KK fw?

Oh and what's the best keyboard app? The stock keyboard doesnt give suggestions..

Thanks?

I have a V97M running Rozaks custom 4.4.2. What is the best way to conserve power? I am finding that the battery drains very fast?
[Device Reviews and Information] lambstone:
It's an issue with the device (specifically the CPU). There's little you can do except try apps like Greenify.
[Device Reviews and Information] brambles1234:
I have installed 'Deep Sleep Battery Saver' which means I actually have some **** power when I go to use the tablet. Can you tell me what I am supposed to do with Greenify? do you know if there are any compatible kernels that can work with this? on my S4 I have a great Kernel ' boeffla' which gives me lots of juice. Something like that would be awesome for this tablet.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Deep sleep battery saver helps a lot with battery at standby.

I manage to use tablet for almost 2 days only with internet tasks like checking emails, browsing, using tapatalk.

There are no custom kernels so far.

The seller claims it is a v4 which I haven't seen mentioned on this thread. Can any v3 roms be used on the v4?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
You can probably check yourself on the back of the tablet if the serial number mentions v3 or v4.

And custom rom for v3 is the same for v4.

[Device Reviews and Information] Scorp84:
Just don't buy this tablet. Save your money and get a Nexus or LG G Pad. The software on this Tab is horrible. It's really pitty because the screen is awesome. Unfortunately we won't get a good firmware or custom rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
You can root it and also install custom Recovery or custom roms.

Latest custom Rom is Kitkat with ability of ocing till 2.0ghz.

No reason to compare.

This tablet is not Nexus or LG pad but costs also almost half money.

And yes its a pity that no custom kernel is out there, but still there are many ways to make this tablet much faster.

For example by using this script.

You are right you can't compare it with a good tablet. But my advice was to just skip this thing and spent more money for a better one.

I have already rooted and overclocked mine with Trickster Mod but it's still not usable as daily driver. I bought it in first place for reading PDFs at university, but scrolling in large documents is a pain. Now I only use it for watching some YouTube clips or a movie from my Plex server.

So whats the issue with it? With the specs it has shouldn't be a problem reading through documents?

I am not following here especially if you can wipe off all the chinese stuff and run just a stock KitKat version.
[Device Reviews and Information] Scorp84:
I just wanted to help people avoiding to make the same mistake I did. Of course the specs sound impressive but it seems that the software is not well optimized for the hardware. With a good Cyanogenmod Rom this tab could be a killer.

So then what custom rom does this unit run as the above poster stated?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
It's not as optimised as a CM, but Rozak's rom is free from bloatware and has some modifications to increase the responsiveness of the tablet.

Here is Kit Kat version:

The problem with this tablet is mainly the battery drain (it doesn't deep sleep) and the wifi off when screen is off.

I've found running battery doctor pro and ds battery saver help mitigate battery drain a bit.

Rozak's rom is good but until there is proper source there is no hope of CM11 and AMLogic aren't exactly famous for releasing source. And their own kernel seem to suck hard.

I'm tempted to trade mine in for a Cube Talk 9X, running unmolested android apparently.

Anyone fancy buying an Onda 975M for below retail value? ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] dwg_priest:
I agree.

I will never again buy onda etc... no-name tablets.

The specs are good, the software is awful. Tablets with 1GB ram run smoothly if the software is good.

Thought I could give Linux a try on the tab, but I can't compile it.

makefile.gcc in arc_power of custom-uboot calls five binaries I can't find in any ARC GCC toolchain.

arc-elf32-em4-cpp
arc-elf32-em4-as
arc-elf32-em4-ld
arc-elf32-em4-objcopy
arc-elf32-em4-elfdump

The problem is the "em4". Symlinking e.g. "arc-elf32-em4-cpp" to "arc-elf32-cpp" doesn't work too.

Anybody any idea?:confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] draken101:
The battery issues is not really a real battery problem. It is, in fact, a battery reporting issue. I.e. my tablet drained 90% of its battery in 1 hour then I continued to use it for another 10 hours on 11% battery. So 90% decrease in 1 hour and 10 hours of usage on 11%. Just don't believe the battery % meter it lies the thing has the juice even though it doesn't believe it itself. It does go into deep sleep to. Rebooting can often restore the battery meter to full.

Spped

1. Use Smart launcher and Rozaks rom

2. View running apps by pressing the hardware key (two squares) and Swipe apps that you not actively using away (android is very good at freeing up resources when you do this)

Do the above and it will run just fine I promise with plenty of battery to spare. Only downside is you will never really know what charge level the actual battery is. Best bet is to use CPUZ and look at the battery voltage in Mv reading 3600+ Mv is good around 3500-3400 Mv battery is probably quite low. Best to plot voltage readings from full charge till flat and work out the scale perform a logarithmic linear regression then just work out your battery % like this :/
[Device Reviews and Information] droutis:
You could always calibrate your battery and fix this bad reporting problem also.

2 things:

1: does anybody know what happened to www.ondaforum.com ? That forum had a lot of helpful information and hosted the custom roms by rozak, but I can't access it. Is it just me, or is it loading a white page for you guys also?

2: Recently, I started experiencing ghost / phantom / fake touches on my tablet. It appears as though something is touching the tablet in one of the corners really fast. It has become impossible to work with that tablet. (I have my tablet for over 6 months and never had an issue with this)

I have made a video and posted it here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJfBx4ZpWO4

Does anybody else have a problem with this?

A fix perhaps?

My tablet came with 2 screen protectors and I pulled the top one off, so it still has 1 protector on, but that didn't used to be a problem.

I have wiped the screen clean, but that hasn't helped either. I even opened the tablet, but seeing as you can also take off the back panel and everything is stuck on the front panel, that didn't help... (a tablet I had before had a loose digitizer connection and I could fix it like that)

Anyone?

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my v975m was completely unresponsive. Screen not coming on, no sound, no flashes, no nothing. When opening the tablet, I had left my sdcard in the slot, and the panel ripped it out, ruining the sd slot. I thought I was done for sure. I saw on the onda forum, others using the otg cable with a usb stick. Following rozak's instructions (and a lot of tries) using the OTG cable, and a 8GB usb stick, I eventually got the little green android, then the android with the spinning cube in recovery. The flash failed, but I selected from the menu "Install rom from EXT" -> "Flash from udrive" (I think it was called that). The flash was successful, and my tablet is back.

Thank-you Rozak!!!

I'm now running 2.0.1 beta with 4GB app space. Loving it!

Now, a couple of questions for the forum:

1) I believe I still have the wifi bug. It takes forever to reconnect when the tablet is turned on after a sleep. Any suggestions?

2) I have one of those fancy tempered glass screen protectors on my phone, and I'm loving it. I've not been able to find a tempered glass screen for my Onda v975m though. Wondering if anyone has seen one (perhaps on a chinese site?) or what the next best option is for a screen protector?

Oh, and I ordered a replacement sdcard reader, and was going to try my luck soldering it back in. Any suggestions for this one?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
For WiFi handling there are some applications that could help, but they might drain more battery. Did you try maybe deep sleep battery saver?

About screen protector I still have attached the original one that my tablet had when I got it and never felt the need to replace it. Are you sure that yours doesn't have one?

[Device Reviews and Information] Gamba1:
Hmmm... I'll take a look at it. I don't want the Wifi to sleep, and I'm fine with it draining the battery more. Right now, I'm getting pretty decent battery life.

for the screen protector, I did have one when I first got it, but it got scratched up so quickly. It was not a very good one. I'd like to get a nicer one :). I did discover that gsmarena allows you to search tablets by dimension, and found out this is pretty close to the Galaxy 4 tab 10.1 inch. Perhaps I'll order a screen protector for that one?
[Device Reviews and Information] PausBastianus:
Hey Gamba1,

I have a completely bricked tablet with broken SD slot as well.

I haven't been able to revive it yet...

WHich instructions did you follow? These?

Which part exactly did you follow?

How were you able to get into recovery?

What ROM did you have installed on your tablet before it crashed?

I had rozaks 2.0.1 with extra storage on there. There doesn't seem to be a download for a crash with that firmware.

I really hope to be able to get my tablet back to life, because sending it back would cost me much time and money to send it...

Thanks in advance!
