Did you just install those? or also copyied them to system/apps ? For some reason it doesnt want to install Google Contacts Sync apk and Account and Sync Setting apk.

Also Google play just says Server error, but I have Wifi on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manu11:
You can install cwm recovery and install an update.zip which is for rooting. if you don't have a cwm you can create one with mtk droid tools this method works 100%.

Just Hit thanks if I had helped you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndebur:
Well the device is rooted. I managed to install all apks now. Google account is syncing everything, Contacts, Google photos etc.

The only thing , which isnt yet working is the Google Play store. It is installed and opens, but it says No connection as if something is blocking it from going online.

After a reboot I also get the message com.google.process.gapps has stopped message.

Already tried to reset the app preferences but that didnt help.

Let me know how it goes as my phone comes in 2 weeks - I emailed the seller and they claim that it works with Google Play Store and will come rooted with 16GB storage..can you PM me the specs you see on your device? Thanks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndebur:
Yes finally got it to work :D

_________

Well since you need to install USb drivers on the PC, I write a little instruction.

Drivers are easily installed. All you need is to enable USB debugging.

Settings -> About phone -> tap on the Build number several times to unlock the developer options.

The settings -> Dev options -> tick USB debugging.

Now you can connect the tablet / phablet to the PC. It auto matically install the drivers. If not there is a virtual CD rom drive under Computer -> Coolpad driver

_______

Then you can copy the root files onto your device.

Did it like here: http://bbs.coolpad.com/thread-1920081-1-1.html

Well translated with google translate:

Now the device is rooted.

___________

Finally I installed the Google play services like this: http://bbs.coolpad.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1917346&fromuid=3110832

(Translated with google)

(for me that download host didnt work, but found a different one with baidu. http://dl.dbank.com/c0bjjioeqw )

Well seems to work now. I mean even Google says that the device is supported :)

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131?hl=en#C

Ill upload the .zip files to the Google drive

Root: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B_zcMr2cMNjZSXBrc0Z5cEtzX2s

Google play : https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B_zcMr2cMNjZQy00YjV2eVNzY28

Well it has 8GB internal storage , not 16GB. But you can install apps on the external SD drive. I have a 60GB MicroSD in it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
Actually, it's a 64 GB mSDXC. :D

60 GB is the useable space.

Anyone else ordered one of these. Can't wait till mine arrives.. 1080p in 8 inch's :D:D:D:D
[Windows 8 General] fujitsujeff:
Yeah I did about a week ago. Patiently waiting. Doesn't look like I will see it until March.
[Windows 8 General] NickFritz:
Why March?

Mine says Shipping 11 Feb

Did they push back the date?
[Windows 8 General] Snusmumriken:
When did you order yours and what model? Are you in the US? Mine says delivery in March too and I ordered on the 29th.
[Windows 8 General] NickFritz:
My delivery date says 11 Feb 2014

But I'm in Australia

Ordered on the 30th
[Windows 8 General] Snusmumriken:
What's your current status? Mine says Released to manufacturing.
[Windows 8 General] NickFritz:

[Windows 8 General] Snusmumriken:
Lenovo has lowered the price now to $379. I have asked if they will charge my card with the new price or if the old price stays..
[Windows 8 General] Ryou_Concord:
Can you charge and mount USB at the same time with this thing?

The realization that there's only one USB port on this device made me wonder if it shared this limitation, and from what I've read, it does. Can anybody confirm this? I can't settle for rumors and stringing together nebulous conjectures. Once they appear in my local Best Buy/MicroCenter I'll be testing this myself, of course.

If anybody's got it, I'd really like to know that. That's kind of the deal-breaker for me. It was the biggest reason I didn't get the Venue 8 Pro (that, and lack of reliable video-out). I don't mind carrying a host cable around with me everywhere either, or the spare battery... or even a tiny USB hub. I just want to know that I can use USB and charge at the same time so I can have a very mobile "desktop" experience wherever I decide to bust out my tablet. No more damn Chromecast bugginess, no more damn finnicky MHL connectors.

I know that the Venue 8 Pro simply cannot do two at the same time; I tested this fact in the store by connecting a host cable, a power source (2.1amp rav power backup battery) and a USB thumb drive. Mounts just fine with a USB OTG cable, but will just not mount and charge at the same time.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Very few devices can. Most USB Hubs cannot backfeed power, so you cannot use USB host adapters to a powered USB hub to charge the tablet most of the time, regardless of if it actually supports charging while in host mode, there is a raspberry pi compatibility list which lists a few hubs which can or cannot backfeed power (the pi can be backpowered via its USB host ports but this is not recommended and can conflict with other inputs). Most tablets though require the D+ and D- wires in the USB connector to be shorted together to enter charging mode, otherwise they will only trickle charge (or not at all), with D+ and D- shorted you cannot transmit data. Turns it into a case of data or power only.

Frankly, you want the desktop experience, yet are purchasing something running 32 bit windows on an intel atom wih 2gb of RAM and either 32 or 64gb of eMMC storage. I think an i5 device would probably be more up your street, most of them have separate power supplies and USB host ports.
[Windows 8 General] Snusmumriken:
Hello again, did you receive the tablet on the 11th? Would love to hear some first impressions. I am in particular interested in finding out how the cover works as a stand and if you can have it standing both horizontally and in portrait.

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] gaetanolip:
Are you sure? Other lenovo 8 tab can be powered with USB hub and lenovo charger hooked up to it..so you can charge and use USB dongles at same time ..check tablet pc review forum.i hope we can do che same thing with thinkpad 8..

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
If you are referring to the thinkpad 2 10" tablet, that used a microUSB for charging and had a seperate full size USB host port (the micro USB was not host capable). The dell venue and lenovo thinkpad 8 both use microUSB for combined charge and host.

If the power and USB host ports are seperate then there is no issue. The issue arises when its a combined port which is what most of the atom tablets are opting for.
[Windows 8 General] gaetanolip:
no.

i am referringto thi http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/lenovo-ibm/59355-comparison-lenovo-miix2-vs-dell-venue-8-pro-7.html

i hope it will be the same with thinnkpad 8

Evel dell 8 can charge and read a usb pheriperal at the same time , but i needs a mod with the hub..

Please don't do misinformation
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Needs an internal mod to

trickle

charge at a mere 100mA. I already said it will only trickle charge.
[Windows 8 General] gaetanolip:
Lenovo Miix2 does not need usb hub mod and you can charge and use usb dongles at the same time

dell venue does need usb hub mod and you can charge and use usb dongles at the same time

that's it
[Windows 8 General] NickFritz:
Your order is now on its way to you.

Expected delivery 21st

There was a delay.
[Windows 8 General] NickFritz:
Played with mine on the weekend.

The cover works as a stand pretty well. As long as the surface inst too slippery you can put the stand on slightly different angles too.

It also is strong enough to work on vertical too.
[Windows 8 General] mustbepbs:
What do you use it for? I'm considering selling my 8 inch LG G Pad for an 8 inch Windows 8 tab. I'm contemplating this or a refurbished Surface Pro for about the same price. Just wondering if Bay Trail is really a lot better than Clover trail. I had a ThinkPad Tablet 2 and it was God awful.
[Windows 8 General] vipfreak:

a cable that could make it happan

found a video of a special cable to allow for charge and mount usb at the same time. the guy has hooked up a y-cable and connected to an iphone, usb jump drive, and a wireless mouse receiver to a usb hub, and it is clearly showing that the thinkpad 8 is charging while using the usb hub... omg! i need that cable so bad, but still can't find it anywhere on the web.. wondering if that guy made it himself... i will pay him $100 for that cable if it really works!! cause it is driving me nuts that i can't charge and use the usb at the same time, it is just so ridiculous.. guys, PLEASE let me know if anyone found a way to purchase this exact cable or anything that would work.

[Windows 8 General] Edwii:
I am interested in getting a thinkpad 8, but only if it has GPS so I can use it to navigate, that is a must.

I can't for the life of me find a solid answer if it truely has gps or not, some say yes others say no.

Can any one give me an answer I can trust if it has GPS?

The specific Model# 20BN-000UUS
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I don't think they do. Neither the webpage for it nor the official datasheet mention it having one and the only wireless chipset they confirm being in the device is a Broadcom BCM43241 which does WiFi, bluetooth and FM but not GPS.

I cannot find any site which definitively says yes it has GPS, nor is there another windows 8 8" tablet with confirmed GPS.

You can run external GPS via either bluetooth or USB, however these units communicate via serial so will add a COM port to windows device manager.

Windows store apps as such cannot interact with these directly, they can only interact with the integral GPS. Windows 7 and 8 added the sensor API, the store apps can only interact with the sensor API and cannot access COM ports directly so are unable to access the external GPS. I have found this program: http://www.turboirc.com/gps7/ This supposedly creates a new windows sensors device and then handles communication with the COM port so may work, but not having an external GPS to hand I must confess that I have not tested it outside of simulation mode and it doesnt seem to be doing the job with metro apps.

Most windows desktop navigation software out there tends to interact with the COM port directly so should be fine with an external GPS, heck, some of the desktop stuff can't interact with the windows sensors based GPS so again need the above software (it is also capable of converting a windows sensors API device to COM port).
[Windows 8 General] Edwii:
Are you saying that the Miix 2 8" also doesn't have gps?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
It doesnt officially, but I did hear that the 3g model does in some markets (but there are alot of people claiming their 3g models didnt have it)
[Windows 8 General] Edwii:
wow, this is messing me up, i plan on buying off ebay, used, so it's not like I can test it out ether to find out.
[Windows 8 General] Fahrertuer:
Well, my Asus Vivotab Note 8 (the cheap 32GB version) has a "Broadcom GNSS 4752 Geolocation Sensor" - in other words: it has a built in GPS receiver. And IIRC there is at least one other tablet 8 incher that has the same sensor.

Doesn't work very well with "regular" Windows software due to only making the data available via the Windows Geoloc API. But when you want navigation there is Nokia Here Maps in the STore wich works great and can also download maps

AndroidIA on Thinkpad 8

Did anyone else try to get AndroidIA (Intel Bay Trail version of Android) to work on Thinkpad 8. I wanted to dual boot with Win 8 and Android but couldn't get it to install. Yes, I did turn off secure boot but the UEFI settings seem to be locked?

Thanks,
[Windows 8 General] hashtowent:
It is not locked, it's lacking support for legacy boot.

Someone should get the 64bit UEFI "Bios" applied to the 32bit Version,

as Linux only offers 64bit UEFI-Loaders.

Then, or with the 64bit version of the tp8 it should at least boot up.
[Windows 8 General] jockyw2001:
I would try that with my TPT8 if the 64bit UEFI could boot 32bit Win8.1

Afaik it can't do that.

Okay. I got this phone off amazon as an unlocked phone. I has been working fine for several months, but it is short on internal memory because the internal memory it is almost completely consumed by bloatware. I rooted it using Super One Click 2.2 so I could delete some bloatware. After rooting I could not connect to my wifi (which I always have been able to connect to with this phone without issue). All I get is "Acquiring IP Address". Here is what I have tried so far that has not worked.

1. Factory Reset (4 times).

2. Master Hard Reset with wipe.

3. Router reboot and unplugging it.

4. Clearing Router mac address table.

5. Unrooting phone and factory reset.

6. Custom "ADD WIFI Network"

7. Using "Static IP" workaround.

8. Changed Router SSID and network security to OPEN (no security).

None of the above have worked. I think I know what might have caused the problem. I performed the root with the Super One Click app. During the rooting process it came up and said, "Busybox not installed. Would you like to install it." I figured it was needed for rooting so I let it install Busybox. After doing some searching on connection issues after rooting, I found other people blaming busybox for the problem. I have no idea what Busybox is or if it is the cause. I assumed that if I did a master hard reset that it would fix the phone, but it remained rooted even after the master hard reset, which tells me that some of the things that rooting the phone did cannot be undone by a master hard reset. I used Super One Click to unroot the phone, but the problem still persist.

I believe the only way to fix this problem is to flash the phone with the original rom (or other good rom). I need a walk through on how to do this and a source for the rom. Can anyone help me? Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
It's pretty good,

My first concern was that the sound quality was going to be rubbish, like when you listen to music with a mono BT headset, something I never did because aswell as being mono it also cut all of the clarity from the music ! fortunatly I can report the music makes it through in hi quality sound

My second concern was that the audio player was not going to work properly fortunatly although not perfect it's working quite well !! most notably the track listing is not showing in the screen, the biggest down side is that it stutters a bit from time to time, not so much that you want to throw it aginst a wall, but enough to be mildly irritating (seems to be linked to a bit rate issue) . also rewind and FF do not work with the universal, but next/previous track does, as does pause and auto pause on phone ring. I am a bit dissapointed that nokia did not include any kind of equalizer settings I personally would like some more bass.

The phone side is quite impressive I like the ability to quickly redial the last number or voice dial however due to the same limitations as the audio player it is currently not displaying peoples names only their number !! otherwise works quite well.

The FM RDS radio is a nice addition, it works well considering the aerial is the strap around your neck

my biggest overall gripe (ie wont be fixed by a firmware upgrade) is the shape of the earpieces, for a company that have been making headsets for this long these are awfull, it's like wedging big uncomfortable lugs in your ears, the real jasjar earpieces are way more comfy (and have better bass response)

So far only tested with media player as reports would indicate that for now A2DP only works with media player

Re: My Review of the Nokis HS-12W A2DP BT Headset

Once the Pocket Music and Pocket Player people get on top of it, you can have remote control with their programs, as both offer equaliser/preamp.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
Cool I look forward to it !!!

I have got to the bottom of my stuttering !! it is nothing more than signal strength, but I dont see why it is happening !! its hard to explain but the signal is not as robust as when you are just using it for phone calls. it claims 10 Meters and its true that in an open area with devices able to see each other both phone call and music will just about manage 10M however if you put an obstacle in the way (like a door) , where as the phone would continue to work the music player will not !! infact for 100% reliable music you are looking at 1 meter (open air) , and half that again if your phone is buried deep in your pocket.

Guys whats your range like, i get no more than a meter away from my phone and the sound drops out, also have a hiss in the background that is really annoying at low volumes any thoughts ???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
I did mention the whole 1 meter thing in my second post !!! I can't hear any hiss ( none loud enough to degrade the music anyway !!) tested with my Exec at full volume and media player also at full volume but the headset at minimum volume, ( thus giving the headset the best signal to noise ratio to play with )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ubik:
Please tell me one thing: I've seen the unwired.net review state that the headset can connect simultaneously to a headset profile and A2DP profile, but only if coming from the same device, meaning that you cannot have A2DP coming from your PDA and Headset coming from your phone. Is this true? The guy said it was a preproduction model and firmware can be changed, so could you please tell me if this is in your model too?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] roma:
Yes, this is true. It can only connect with one device at the same time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ubik:
:( That means this device is crippled, as it is very common for one to have music on one device and use another as a phone...

Do you know of any other product that offers the same opportunities in a similar form factor desides this one? I've found this one from Sony Ericsson http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...der&php=php1_10394&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394 but it does not have radio.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
I'm looking for something very close with this Nokia headset. Only one thing left, that I think very important. I want to be able to unplug the earphones from the unit. This is important, so that when we get to the airplane, we can unplug it and still use the same earphones connected directly to the Uni without the BT on.

Secondly, it will enable the unit to be plugged into Car Audio AUX input.

I have saw a couple of headsets that have this feature, from GlobalSat, and from itech. But both do not have caller ID screen.

Anyone know where to get one in the US? All links found so far are sellers in the UK.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ice_coffee:
im sure expansys US are selling it !!

Since my review I have tried it with a nokia phone and it performs better, the issue with signal strength from 50CM or less through you body has been improved. The main problem might be the positioning of the BT chip in the UNI, this may never be fully resolved !!! unless someone can hack the UNI firmware to tell the BT chip to broadcast with more power than it should.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] efjay:
Thanks, i will look at their site.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] efjay:
I bought the Nokia a few weeks ago but havent really tested until today. After reflashing the rom on my BA and installing the A2DP cab it works very well. Range is good with line of sight and the controls work ok. Only thing is an occasonal sound dropout of under a second, which has already been mentioned. Not enough to be a problem so far. Sound could use a bit more bass but that can be solved with a player that has an eq. Overall im happy with the Nokia.
