Issues so far (running 1.0.8)

-Battery is discharging rather quick when the tablet is shut off (no fast boot)

-Despite the good hardware, the tablet lags in play store, in youtube etc. It is not as smooth as its hardware suggests. There is no comparison with nexus 7.

Antutu X score is around 22000, so the 30000 antutu score is hacked somehow by this tablet.

So if the firmware doesn't get fixed, this is not a good buy.

No gps, no bluetooth, no 3g, laggy firmware = NO GO!

[Device Reviews and Information] Robert_it:
Don't know if you have tried this, but some of my upgrades wouldn't install from zip. I had to extract the update to the root of the SD card and let the tablet install it automatically .

So extract the update to root of card, power down and start with volume up + power, then the tablet should do it's magic by itself.

Go back to a previous version that you KNOW works just to rule out a faulty download.

Good luck.

I bought mine @ Onda-tablet.com and got fast super service.

The one thing to take note of is: if you expect IPad or Nexus standard from startup then forget about it.

Forget about ANY cheap Chinese tablet altogether.....

If you are up to tinkering and a few frustrations then the reward is amazing, this is without a doubt in my mind the best value for money out there right now and when the software issues are solved you Will have a very powerful tablet for a very reasonably price.

I highly recommend this even though I am not really happy with it yet... but I know I will be in a very near future..

Hi XDA people. I bought the tablet like 2 months ago and I have been trying most of the firmware from Onda but I still keep getting crashes with the new ones while I check web pages with some media content, or changing between applications after some mins of use, maybe hour. I want to believe it's all about firmware but I'm not sure about it, might be some defective unit as well. Any help or comments as it out? It happens to you too? Should I ask for a replacement?

Sounds like you are running a Beta ROM - reported poor internet experiences, minor "freezes", etc.

In < Settings > have you switched "Davlik" (4.3) to / from "ART" (4.4) , then experimented ?

Have you tried the 1.09 ROM - many report smoother internet with pages working, keyboard advances, etc.

If you experience same exact issues using same apps, visiting same internet locations either 4.3 or 4.4 beta -

may be defective hardware issue or app you use / internet site technology ( encoded copyright protection not compatible with hardware ) ?
[Device Reviews and Information] demez:
Not sure. Right now I'm using KitKat beta for v1 tablet. It runs smooth and stuff but suddenly it crashes when I change between applications fast or check web pages and stuff. Yeah I have it running under ART.

Run official 1…08 under everything is fine..

Do you always expect to get everything you want the way you want it ?

every v975m related forum that I am aware of has many posts with same problems when using ART

If you are visiting sites / forums perhaps you are not looking in the right threads. Spend time, look around, READ.

serotonien post hit the target dead center .... sarcastic as it may have started Turn off " ART "

I only hope you are man enough to thank him for his post. POST # 324 .. drop the attitude and revisit the post, he clearly stated he uses beta and Davlik have no or nearby no crashes.

If you do not know what you are doing and do not have the necessary discipline and patience, Go back to Onda 4.3 authentic ROM version. There is a reason this tablet was delivered running 4.3 ( Davlik )..

I stay off beta myself.

Mine was hard earned money that paid for my devices

I for one, will not risk damaging my devices... just to be the first kid on the block to have the newest toy

Ask for replacement.

As you stated it is a hardware issue, since aaaallll rom have same identical issues
[Device Reviews and Information] mickrick:
Okay, firstly take a step back, calm down and wait a while before posting. This community is very strong due to the knowledge and skills of its members. But of course like anywhere else, you will get some who think that because they know something others who don't are to be derided and treated like kids. You know, like the schoolyard bully types.

So you have tried all the available official roms there are available and you are experiencing crashes with all of them. Did you have the same problem with the shipped rom? If not then you have probably done something wrong when flashing the others.

I would suggest a little troubleshooting before upgrading again. Start by making a nand backup and then do a full (factory reset - wipe cache - wipe dalvik) in recovery mode before flashing another rom. That will get rid of any code being carried over from the various other roms. Everything should work ok now. When you are certain everything is working well with no crashes, do a part restore of your data only. This will restore all your apps and their configurations, custom settings etc. If after doing this and you start to get crashes, its at least one app which is causing issues. If there are no crashes, happy days.

If you get crashes without doing a restore then it is most likely hardware related and you should contact the supplier to have the tablet exchanged or refunded.

If there's anything you are unsure of, pm me or reply here and I'll see if I can set you on the right path. And ignore anyone who just wants to get on your case.

Hi this si form RobV

Per your picture ...

screen say the device recovery / back up files have been erased

= corrupt files from instruction source ( update USB memory stick )

= failed update attempt ~ OR ~ stick may have been connected on system restart

" Sure that i would like to return to4.3 but i cant if i instaling 4.4 or4.3 it is same picture on scr. "

Did system restart to same screen _OR_ you insert different files and nothing change ?

I understand to translate to " v975m show you list "

pic show you are in manual recovery mode

it ask you to make selection ( vol+ / vol- to change ... power 1 sec )

must instruct v975m to " update " from ext. device / ext USB location of files.

Try :

Use the vol+ / vol- switch = works as highlight selection

Is that working to move up or down the list ?

If so .. select " EXT DEVICE "

Use POWER BUTTON to accept your choice

continue through choices to your USB DEVICE stick memory is selected

it will then list files on the device ( USB memory stick )

highlight / select " UPDATE.ZIP "

Use POWER BUTTON to accept your choice

IF Vol+ / Vol- does not move = system freeze

IF power button not working = recovery mode lock up

power must drain battery to force shutdown

battery must charge ( recommend 2.5 hrs ) before continuing.

Please read post responses here
