[Device Reviews and Information] Dan Law 001:
Hey folks, how the battery life or power usage of this tablet is? In fact, I own a V971 and although that the battery life keeps improving though out updates, it never optimized well. I bought a 10400mAh powerbank (external battery) recently to attempt to solve the problem and the tablet even drains the powerbank too. Does this also happen to the V975? To sum up, battery life is the only issue with Onda talbets...

I would like to give my time and effort, but I am afraid that I am one of these half-stupid leechers who benefits from others hard work... ????

I wouldn't even know where to start??

I am however forever grateful for the great ROM's I use with great pleasure everyday on all my android devices...

Just my way to express that the work done really IS appreciated a lot. Thanks to all developers, can't wait to flash this baby...

As for waiting for a better one? There will always be a better spec tablet around the corner, but considering the price and first impression regarding the build quality I would say if Bluetooth and GPS is not a deal-breaker then this really is hard to beat. And even though faster is always better this tablet is finally fast enough to be compared with the almighty equivalent Apple product, because whatever we like or not they have the benchmark product when it comes to feedback and fluently operation.

The more I use mine the more I like it.

Note: just a little sidenote, I just tried Antutu Benchmark and with the OEM ROM 1.05 I am getting 30606 points. My Nexus 5 with CM11 Sanity ROM is getting 33589 so this tablet is very close to a real branded powerphone :) I would not be surprised if we would get closer to the Nexus when better drivers and a stable performance ROM is installed.

Cheers Rob.

Anyone got theirs to be rooted? So far no luck with the method using a Chinese app.
[Device Reviews and Information] krepler:
http://dl.vmall.com/c0nhja1asz# It's in Chinese(m or c) but you just have to choose the zip file to start the download.

Either extract all contents into root of the external SD card for automatic installation or just "v975m_root_andorid4.3.zip" for manual install which, personally, is how I prefer. Yes, the zip is misspelled ;)

Turn off the tablet.

Turn on the tablet in recovery mode. Power & Volume+ until a green android flashes on the screen.

If you extracted all the files, installation should start, assuming the sd card was inserted prior to boot up.

For manual install:

When recovery is loaded, take note that the volume rocker moves the selection up and down and the power button activates it.

Choose to install from ext storage...sd card.

Choose the zip file.

Wait... Reboot... Viola

You're Rooted!

The only problems I found with this tab is that the USB and HDMI ports are too deep. The cables supplied by Onda work, although the HDMI cable will have to be shaved at the connector to make it longer otherwise it won't connect, but you have to buy it from Onda since theirs come slightly longer to begin with. I've tried another cable but it just won't fit deep enough inside...(that's what she said)

The other problem is the system comes to a complete halt for 10 seconds sometimes and then picks up again at random or when changing apps. I still have to try a data wipe to see if this gets corrected.

Otherwise, it's a dream. I had to lower the DPI because of some compatibility issues with some apps not displaying properly...mostly videos being displayed very tiny or crashing with NHL GameCenter. 300 DPI works pretty good.

Hope that helps!
[Device Reviews and Information] CoopZor:
Thanx krepler, I agree with everything you said, I also have these hick ups for a few seconds.

For the rest this tablet is indeed A dream, very fast in games, I did not found a game wich was to heavy for it so it is a power monster for sure, we only need a good smooth rom.

haw do you install Super user? I can install it but if I want to apply it takes forever so there goes something wrong.

Working SuperUser

I found this working super user solution.

http://dl.vmall.com/c0nhja1asz# - unzip, put on external SD card and flash via android recovery (hold vol + together with on/off button)

unfortunately if superuser APK gets updated the root will be removed and after new start is root also disappeared. For keeping root after restart I have found following application that works.

Advise you to wait for some bold confirms that the recovery works .. a few words one who understands well ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] krepler:
I'm not sure if you've figured out how to root your tab but it's all in my post and like Clouseau_CZ said as well. Also both his and my link bring you to the same file, so there's no confusion or extra effort!

Remember to shut off your tab first, then power on with (power and vol+) keys together. The file you download has to be extracted on an external sd.

CZ brought up another good point, if SuperSU app gets updated through Google play, it will stop working. You can simply uninstall the update to fix it. Also, do not try to update the binary through the updated app as it could, and most likely will, remove the current binary file you just installed. To fix that, just start over and root your tab again.

If all is done correctly, the zip you install places the su binary file in /system/xbin/ directory and the superuser.apk in /system/app directory on the tabs system partition. Verification is easy, any app that requires root will request root permission usually when started or when given a command.

Other brands are better? I thought this might be a hardware related problem. It's all cheap. Perhaps okay for the money. If I had more I would have gone for a Snapdragon powered Sony T2 for sure.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dan Law 001:
I wouldn't suggest you to go for other brands neither since I do not think that it is hardware related since Onda uses ARM chips which have high efficiency. However, I rather think that is the problem of the software optimization since in the past, when I newly purchase it, it was much more worse that now after updates (especially the SDK 3.2 helped allot). This I suggest you to keep looking forward and not to spend the unnecessary money.

Is this model: http://www.onda-tablet.com/onda-v97...9-7-inch-retina-screen-ram-2gb-tablet-pc.html

more powerful then the current V3 2.0 GHz model?

If so, any idea when other retailers like, DinoDirect, Pandawill, Geekbuying, and Banggood will start carrying it?
[Device Reviews and Information] RbrtV:
Information provided by the Intel links. No, not as fast a processor speed.

1.33 GHz CPU with " up to 1.83 GHz Burst " = power burst

faster cpu memory with less memory bandwidth, 10% increased power requirement to run CPU, etc.

compared to sister chip Z3740 ( available in other tablets, around August 2013 )

Same CPU series has been available over the past 8 - 9 months.

This v975i has been pre-order status for approximately a month.

Hope this is helpful

As usual, extract to the root of your sdcard and reboot into recovery. Leave out .aml files and install manually by navigating to ext source/sdcard, to avoid data wipes.

So far so good. Wifi and sdcard issues are non-existent. YouTube is working. I'll update if any issues arise.

Hey, for those of you who upgraded to the BETA version of 4.4, did you experience the following syndromes?;

- Very very fast, but also discharge very fast

- Media server consumes >60% of the battery usage

- After powering off by selecting "Quick-boot power-on next time", after the device is said "off", it is still awake and consumes battery

- Touch response time and smoothness are inferior than the previous update (with SDK 3.2) ==> I guest that Onda should use the lastest version of the SDK with their ROM that Allwinner has launch with their A20 chip to fix this.

Any luck yet with your update?

A couple of things you can try. Download the official 1.0.9 v3 and see if that works, if so upgrade from there. If that fails as well, see if reinstalling Rozak's 1.0.9 works, if it does, he might have a solution to help you from there as it might have to do with his rom but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

You could also try downloading v1.1.0 again as it might have gotten corrupted the first time you downloaded it, which is very likely by the sound of it. Another possibility is my upload is corrupted if you downloaded it from post #398, in which case you can download from the original server on my post #390, I'll update my post in the time being.

If at the very least you can get back to v1.0.9, I would stay there for now in your case as you have a V3, no? I have only tested V1 firmware, so it's possible V3 file isn't working... Unless someone else can verify that it is
