novatech ntab ii

Hi,

I have the ntab ii.

For the price (£179), its well made, aluminium casing, feels good in the hand, a little on the heavy side, but has long battery life, so thats ok with me.

The screen is excellent, and overall its very well specced.

It also takes a 64gb micro sd card without any difficulty (this needs to be formatted to fat32 to work). Novatech were of the opinion that this is not compatible, but it is and I've advised their tech department who seemed grateful for the info on their own product!

As for rooting it, I'd like to do the same, but can't find any info on it. I asked novatech, but they gave a nonsensical answer that seemed to avoid the question. I also note that the version they sell now has kitkat (mine has 4.2.2). Either way it still doesn't have google play store.

Amazon store is really pretty crap, and overall, despite being a great tablet in terms of design, build and spec, not having google play store is a major, major flaw with this product. You can get by without it, but it really reduces the enjoyment of the purchase. I'm not sure why they have to use this cut down version given that android is meant to be freeware, (no doubt google imposes it on them to maintain market dominance).

Wifi stability is fine, a bit weaker than my laptop, but thats to be expected. Works fine in my 2 bed flat. I haven't really used the camera, so can't comment on that. As stated, the screen is superb, so for browsing / reading you won't be dissapointed there if you decide to buy.

I'm 50:50 as to whether or not I'd recommend this product. At first I thought I was getting a great deal for the price, which in theory you do, but after a few days of realising just how poor the amazon store is compared to google play, I was left thinking that with the benefit of hindsight, I'd probably fork out the extra cash and get something with google play installed.

If it can be rooted however, that would change everything, as it would mean that you get the well specced tablet for a great price running kitkat with no restrictions. I'd gladly pay £30 to get mine rooted and increase its functionality. Who offered to do yours for £40?

Happy to answer questions, and would gratefully receive any info on rooting this device.

Cheers.

Hi,

Many thankjs for the review! That is one great review :) Now I have bought a Nexus 10 but your's will surely help other people considering the tablet.

With regards to the 40quids, its Novatech themselves who offered to root it, over their live chat.

Goodluck with the rooting :)

[General Questions and Answers] Shrubmonkey:
Novatech themselves offer to root?! Cool. Will get back in touch with them. Maybe my last request was just a communication breakdown.

I'm kind of novice, but can anyone advise on the following...once rooted, does that mean I'm only half way there, I then need to find a suitable ROM to flash into the device with a fresh install of kitkat / jellybean with google play activated etc?

Hi, after using the weatherpanel trial for the full 15 days, which btw worked flawlessly, I purchased the full version, uninstalled the trial, and reinstalled the full version. Everything installed fine, but it refuses to update. I can surf the internet fine. When i tap "Update" or the "refresh" arrows on the weatherpanel today plugin, nothing happens.

The only difference in installation was that the trial was installed on the device, whereas the full, i installed on my miniSD. But after noticing this, I uninstalled the full and reinstalled on the device, but still the same problems persist.

I ran the diagnostics and I get "AUTH: FAILED".

Does anyone know what might be my problem? Thanks alot in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hepokatti:
Hi all

I have been using Samsung and Sony Android phones for years and this is my first Nexus phone. I have just a studip questions about stock email app and exchange sync....

I have added my corporate exchange account to stock email app and sync it self is working as it should. BUT, with Samsung and Sony I was able to set different sync frequencies for working days and weekends (Push for working days from 8:00am to 6:00pm and manual fetching for other times). Is this possible with Nexus 5 stock email app? I cannot find setting for it.

Second question is, Sony and Samsung were able to search contacts directly from company Active Directory using same activesync account. Is this possible with Nexus 5?

Other wise I really like this phone!

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
1) no not in stock app. There are plenty on play that will.

2) yes. Go into contacts and press search

Hy guys, I've just recieved my smartband few days ago and tested it. I'm really happy with it. It's extremely light and discret. Made of soft-touch silicon it feels comfortable when you strap it. Fortunatly, because you're supposed to wear it 24/7. Waterproof is really appreciable too.

You have to use SmartConnect in order to use and configure it (some good options are available). Notifications for calls, messaging and every other apps are very usefull. Even if bluetooth is always on it don't really waste a lot more battery (1% per hour more thanks to Bluetooth low energy) ! It uses a little haptic motor to notify you from an incoming event (call, message...) and can be used as music player remote with simples steps.

Lifelog app aims to gather everything in one place. It tracks your physical activity (footsteps, running time...) and entertainments (the time you spent gaming, listenning music with songs you listenned, reading, messaging, on the social networks or the photos you've taken and more). Larger the circle is, the more you spent time on the activity. It's juste like the chronicles of your life. The app is really easy to use with a really pleasant interface.

So for those who recieved the smartband what you think about ?

It looks really nice, but I have one question - Can You use it parallel with Sony Smartwatch 2?

«««naTapatalk'owane na Nexus 7(2013)»»»
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tonio78r:
I guess it depens on BT devices. I don't have SmartWatch to test it. I've tested with my Bose SoundLink Mini and SmartBand connected at the same time and it worked well :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] m_gal:
Thanks, You've got to be right, if it's working parallel with other device - my Sony Z1C is working fine with my BT car radio and Sony Smartwatch 2 - it should be working fine with the smartband.

Yes, both can connect in the same time, but have some bug when I using the smartwatch to control the music sometime the phone will be restart. And the battery life will be short. My for daily 7am start connected both devices almost can last 12 hours.

For those who have the smartband and the lifelog app, could any of you get the Cycling, Bus, train, car tabs which show how much time you spent on those transportations?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maxld:
They are unavailable right now. Sony is going to add these functions later.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tonio78r:
For now these feature we saw in the video demonstration are not implemented in the lifelog app, wait till next versions, sony should add it :)

I'm waiting for it too :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maxld:
Do you have increased battery drain? I had 7-10% in 8hrs battery drop without Smartband, and now I lost 15% in 6hrs while using it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tonio78r:
I've noticed 1% more battery use per hour than before
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maxld:
Oh, that would be correct - I have pretty much the same. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Xepia_94:
Okay thanks. I hope so. It would be an awesome function to have.

What are your settings to keep it from huge battery drainage?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maxld:
I turned off location service in Lifelog, but I didn't see a big difference. I only wonder how these functions will work when Sony adds them. I mean, how will my smartband detect that I am moving in a car or in a bus when my location is turned off.

For now I pair Smartband with a phone only once a day, just to sync results, but to be honest because of a huge battery drain I am thinking about selling it.

I read in the official Sony forums, some users complain that notifications only include vibration for wake-up anc calls.

Confirm you too?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tonio78r:
I've enabled notification for some apps (messaging,gmail,snapchat,facebook and more) and vibrations are working well. The only "problem" I have is that for every notification it's the same vibration intensity and there are no custom vibrations...

Recieved my smartband 3 days ago - simple to connect and a cool gadget. But connection to my Z1 Compact is lost very often. I´m not sure if this is a software problem, all other bluetooth gadgets working fine - smart watch 2, headsets...

Mine disconnects several times during the day. A lot is from me getting my body in the way. But it'll connect right away when the obstacle has been cleared. Maybe once a day I have to reconnect with NFC but it's only a minor issue.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bontasoostrong:
Hello sir, I'm currently planning to buy this smartband. But... actually... what does it really do? Aside from tracking steps, run, position. Can it track your heart rate? Thanx before
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tonio78r:
One of the inconvenient of the smartband is that he can't work as standalone what meens it couln't record data (steps, sleep...) when not connected to phone (I guess it doesn't have internal memory)! It would have been fine if the smartband could record data while not connected (as Jawbone UP 24)...

It has to always be connected to the phone...For me I have some disconnections in my home and its really annoying. Sometime I'm just a few meters far from my phone (behind a concrete wall) but my smartband loose connexion and most of the time I have to connect again thru NFC.

Smartband doesn't have heart rate tracker, but it has some interesting features aside of activity tracker:

- Alarm :it will wake you up by vibrating. You have to set alarm time thought the app.

- Notifications : if you receive a phone call, text, facebook notification (or any notification from any app you want to) the smartband vibrates to inform you from incoming notification/event.

- Life Monitor : beyond just being an activity tracker, combined with the lifelog app the smartband will estimates calories burnt and any action you take with your smartphone is monitored (time spent on the web, texting, listening music [and the tracks you listenned], pictures taken, your social media interactions and more).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] pavelbor:
Wrong. Smartband actually work without phone (read: while disconnected). It has own memory.

Guys, Is there someone here who uses its smartband with a non-xperia device, I'm using it with my HTC One and it doesn't log music... stays on 0min music all the time...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] yano213:
Yep, try with a note 3 and S4, same result. It count just 2min and not the rest, i use POWERamp. "Glad" to not be alone ^^
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maxld:
Up to 14 days.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Achraf4X:
I discovered that it doesn't show weather like Sony devices either! disappointed, I felt for the "full" compatibility with 4.4 devices...

Edit : you can at least log your music with Play Music (Google's app)

2nd Edit: Google play Music didn't work well... so what you need to do is install the walkman app apk on your device, and you're good to go, you can even have what you music you listned to precisely... working for me, I'll search for the weather integration
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Achraf4X:
Guys can someone look for what app does provide weather in the Xperia you've got and provide me an apk of it? I think it's accuweather, installed it but still doesn't get weather data from it, so that would be a tweaked accuweather app specific to Sony xperia devices?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Ayumiin:
I'm currently using the band with an N4 and it logs all my music. Does it do it accurately... Nooooooooooo. Only logs while in the foreground and while the screen is on so 99% of my Pandora time goes unnoticed.

And as far as the weather, it always shows the weather for me. Although I guess the most noticeable weather is the rain. Most of the time it's just clouds... And stuff.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Achraf4X:
Well install the walkman apk and you'll be able to log all your music and exactly which one you listned to
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] masi0:
Quick questions - what is the phone life compared when smart band is connected along with lifelog app vs with life log app turned off?

as the band records up to few days - is there a reason to have life log enabled all the time?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] masi0:
is it with Lifelog on or off?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] devilsdouble:
I want to purchase a Smartband, but I have a question. Does this thing have any vibrate mode in case of an incoming call?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
Yes. Although you can't answer with the button, the button just silences the vibration.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] devilsdouble:
I don't need to answer from it, I just needed to know is that vibration strong enough that you will feel it on your skin?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
It's the same vibration it uses to wake you up, so yes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Ayumiin:
I honestly feel my Smartband more than I do my phone. I feel like even if I stop using it for tracking, I'd want to use it solely for notifications.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] devilsdouble:
Yeah, that was my point. It's a disgrace that how nowadays almost all top of the line phones by almost all manufacturers just skip over the part like a strong vibration and all and focus on gimmicky features more. I have not owned a phone in past five years which had at least half decent vibration, I just keep missing and missing calls and texts, won't do that any more, that's why asked about the smartband vibration and it seems I really need to buy it. How badly I miss those old Nokia phones, or especially the SE P1!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Ayumiin:
I thought it was just me lamenting over the lack of a strong vibration with my phones. I remember the days when even when your phone was silent, you could not only feel but hear the vibration even if the phone was deep down in your bag or hidden under a mountain of pillows and blankets.

I try talking about this with normal people but there's no way to complain about lack of vibration without them giggling.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
There is one thing missing from the Smartband, and that is third party app integration. For example, I'd like to be able to trigger something like Tasker so that when I switch to night mode (which I do manually) silent mode is switched on, and if the charger isn't connected, power saving is turned on.

But as far as I know, that isn't possible yet.

Hey guys im planning to buy one but i have couple of concerns i hope gets answered.

1. Does it have a map feature like i can see where exactly on the map i went the entire day?

2. If yes, will it update even if im not connected to the phone? I need a map with markings on where i went.

3. Do gps need to be turned on or just bluetooth for the map feature if it does support it.

4. Is the vibration as strong as that of the phone or weaker?

5. By any chance i can only use it for notification amd turn off all other feature to save more battery? Or am i forced to the battery drain even if i will only use it for the vibration notification?

6. Does the led light up when you have notifications? Like a constant blinking?

7. Lastly, how many vibrates if i recieve a msg? Is it like 2 vibrate, 1 long vibrate, 1 short vibrate etc.

I would appreciate some answers. I wanted to make sure i dont get dissapointed before buying one cause its not cheap..:(
