[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mw210461:
I have of course also contacted Voyo, asking for an explanation about the many specification deficiencies, no reply so far (surprise).

The reason why I am also challenging Gearbest is obvious:

- originally they did NOT know about the major data sheet lies, selling this thing like hot cakes to users who order based on false data

- I provided oodles of evidence, screen shots, and also links to related discussions on the web, proving that my three findings are correct

- Gearbest is now FULLY AWARE that they are selling a fake product (i.e. something that does not meet the advertised specifications)

- they continue to offer it with the exaggerated data sheets, afraid to lose customers, if telling the truth about speed, battery, Android.

- I insisted on a correction of the data sheets, or the removal of this fraudulent "Voyo Q101 4G" product from their site

- I warned them that I will now inform the Chinese trade and consumer organizations about this fraud, proving that Gearbest knowingly continues to use wrong data to keep selling these questionable devices.

- Gearbest is playing for time, endless discussion and repetition of the same arguments, asking for the same evidence over and over; I am growing impatient now. Any technician can prove all three deficiencies within 5min...

I do NOT want my money back, I do NOT want a refund or return - all I want is HONESTY and FAIR TRADE, protection of future customers.

I do not want that customers are trapped into ordering something, and getting someting totally different (as to speed, as to capacity, as to OS). Had I known upfront that this cheap thing is a paper tiger, running on old Android 5.1, slower than my smartphone and with an anemic battery, I would NOT have ordered it.

And so would many other owners, out of which many may not even KNOW why their Voyo does not install API23 apps, runs empty so fast and is fairly slow in operation.

Without holding a "TecLast Tpad 98 4G" in my hands I assume that all three deficiencies (Android version, CPU clock speed, battery size) are identical to the Voyo Q101 4G. If anyone read this and owns a Teclast clone, please confirm or reject this theory, thanks!

Again: If I order a 2016 car with 100ltr gas tank and 120HP I can NOT accept a 2015 model with a 75ltr tank and 100HP without feeling 'taken'. This applies to a cheap Dacia as well as to a Jaguar. If I want an outdated 2015 model car with a smaller engine I will order it specifically and on purpose. If the dealer is informed about the mismatch and keeps selling 2015 models as 2016, I will go after him.

You disagree?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palm Trees:
Do as you please. But please don't ever compare cars and cheap tablets :)

Yes it's wrong, but this isn't the first instance and likely not the last, sadly.

Your energy is best invested elsewhere, is all I'm saying. However you choose to spend your time/energy is your choice.

I don't imagine anything will come from this, but best of luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mw210461:
I purposely chose the "laughing stock" el cheapo car Dacia from Romania (although it is not really a bad buy!).

You can also choose other examples like TV sets, wrist watches; the answer is always the same: data sheets are to be fulfilled by the manufacturers and dealers alike. See the current Diesel emission crisis with fake NOx results by many car makers worldwide.

The tablet is OK as it is, with its low sticker price. Yet it must not be offered or sold with false data sheets, as this is criminal intent.

China has probably little leverage and interest in fighting these liars. Yet it is worth a try to officially nail both Voyo and Gearbest in public and at trade/consumer agencies for this shameless deception of customers.

Faking the OS, the battery AND even the CPU clock speed is more than an 'oversight' - this is planned and intentional fraud, and MUST be reported to consumers and authorities alike.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pxoeb6mU:
I have to agree with you here. At the price, I didn't really expect more than what I got, and I found the tablet(s, I got two) to be quite adequate for my purposes.

Frankly, if the tablet had been advertised as what it is (Android 5.1, 4000mAh, 1.3GHz, rest as advertised) I would have still bought it, because you can't actually find another 10" tablet that comes close to that for as low a price as I've bought mine for. And I've been looking and waiting for a decently cheap android tablet I can give to my kids for the last 2 years.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerouac82:
I have contacted Voyo, but get no answer. The scren is flickering extremely on white,blue, green. On black,red minimal flickering. So i use the tablet in night mode (redly). Not really comforable.

I have used the twrp backup from the russian website, but the screen flickers always. I have opened the voyo, tested the screen. The screen shows all colors without flickering, the screen is not the reason. I had flashed 20 times or more i think :( on my flashing i had deleted the whole tablet and flashed the Firmware and had a strange thing happens. Twrp has started after flashing , this should not possible, because i deleted all. Is it possible that twrp are on thr Tablet, where i have not the rights to delete?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pxoeb6mU:
the flashtool will only overwrite the partitions for which the zip file includes new images. If there is still TWRP on your tablet after flashing with flashtool and that zip file, then it is in one of the partitions for which the zip file doesn't contain an image.

The same proble I have! :(

If my tablet hangover, then reset with a needle in the little hole near the power-buttom

So it start in the chinise bootmenu to choose "...eMMC" push Vol+ for 5 times and than click at the power-buttom

In this windows must be the option for clear data, but I can't see anything ...

... few seconds later, the system make a restart

It start with the MEDIATEK logo ...

... and is loading .... but nothing will be happened

only this android logo I can see, but the tablet do nothing else.

(pictures are in my album: xdaforums.com/album.php?albumid=14396)

I've already load the new VOYO-ROM (en.myvoyo.com/xiazai/Win%20Pad/VOYO_Q101/down/)

I try to work with "SP Flash Tool". The file "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" worked fine.

But the table dosn't work.

Have someone any idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR-EGO:
Hello again,

my modell-drivers are not so important for Windows, but the VCOM driver must be in the system.

Befor a Windows computer to take up the preloader connection, Mediatek's VCOM driver must be installed.

To do this, proceed as follows:

Open the device manager.

Connect your smartphone to your computer using the USB cable as described above.

After plugging in, an entry for the (still) unknown port appears for a few seconds in the device manager with a yellow exclamation mark.

Click on this entry with the right mouse button and select Update driver software. Was that too fast and the entry has already disappeared? Unplug the phone and try again from step 2 until the right mouse click is successful.

On the computer, click Search for driver software

Click Browse and select the directory into which the VCOM driver was previously unpacked.

After this, Windows correctly sets the VCOM driver.

The device manager can be checked again that the VCOM driver is correctly installed. After the smartphone has been plugged in, the yellow exclamation mark should have disappeared. Instead, a "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Driver" appears under Ports / Connections - again only for a few seconds. Once the VCOM driver is installed, it also works when Windows is started again at a later date.

Now start the SP Flash Tool for "Download" or "Read Back"

The official tool for flashing or reading a Mediatek smartphone is the Smartphone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool). It comes from Mediatek itself, but like the VCOM driver is not offered on the manufacturer's homepage for download; So you have to download it from a source of trust. In the absence of an installer, the download is simply unpacked at any location on the hard drive.

The usage always takes place according to the same scheme, whereby the smartphone is not initially connected via USB:

The flash tool is started by double-clicking flash-tool.exe without the connected smartphone connected to the computer.

The scatter file for your smartphone must be loaded.

To flash the device, go to the Download tab to read it out / create a backup in the Read back tab.

When flashing / downloading, the memory blocks to be flashed must now be selected. When backup / read back, the memory addresses for start and end of the backup are entered as hexadecimal numbers.

Click on the button Download or Read back to start the process.

Only now is the connected smartphone connected to the computer.

If Windows correctly recognized the VCOM Preloader, the flash or read-out process starts after a short time.

ROM defect?

Hello,

The new VOYO-ROM has worked.

My tablet lives again! :)

Now there is a new problem: The screen in the new operating system flickers ??

Have already tried the following:

Converted to black and white - helps only partially

HW overlays disabled - does not help at all

Turn the screen from high to cross - helps only partially

Does someone know advice?

Hello,

The Rom I download from Voyo website seem to have problem

Rar is Ok and unpacking is Ok

But when I load the scatter file in Flash tool I have a checksum error

Compare to other Rom I download before, there is far less .img files...only 6, I used to see 11 (custom, md1arm7, md1dsp, md1rom, md3rom are missing)

How many image files have you?

Did you uncheck some part when flashing or flash the whole Rom (includind Recovery)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR-EGO:
Hello,.

My scatter file is fine.

I have 5 * .IMG (boot, cache, recovery, secro, system, userdata) and 4 * .BIN

*SP flash tool detects MT6753-scatter easily.

"Preloader" I do not choose!

Then DOWNLOAD press, tablet to USB plug - download flash starts.

But my tablet have after reboot a flicker display. :(

Do you have for me an old Q101-ROM (MT6753) ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plumplum88:
I will try to download it again!...

I know how flashtool works, I use it since the dual core mt6577;)

I never see a rom with only 5 IMG files

I think tout should reflash and select pre-loader
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR-EGO:
OK. :)

Strangely, however, I find that the flashed system afterwards only displays 8 "display.

In the ROM is always something of "kt109" and "LMY47D"

After that, I searched online and found an interesting site, where you can find a description, but it's an older version.

There is display 8".

Is that the reason for my graphics problem, because Q101 is 10.1" ....!?

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Who can help me to get an older ROM for my Q101?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plumplum88:
If the rom doesn't come :

- from official website

- team that ports Rom for your device

- exact clone

Then it may have problem...Rom is not only a soc, there are modules for the differents part (camera, screen, touchscreen, gyroscope....etc), if one differe, there are bugs

The one I download is here

http://en.myvoyo.com/xiazai/Win Pad/VOYO_Q101/down/

But flashtool doesn't want it...

Be careful you get your conditions right, or it's easy to get into a situation where your tablet constantly shuts down right after start and you have to boot into recovery and delete some files using adb to get rid of the watcher... (one of the reasons why I also added the "unplugged" condition).

Hello, I have bought a VOYO Q101 4G in july 2017. (Android 6.0, 5Ah)

To resume 10 pages of XDA topic:

- it is not Android 6.0, but unofficially 5.1

- it is NEVER EVER 5Ah, but 4Ah

It is important to clarify the month, because of the new ,,Android 7.0” model (which was released in sept.)

=== My questions ===

1. If I want to change the firmware with this one (en.myvoyo.com/xiazai/Win%20Pad/VOYO%5FQ101/down/ ), is this the ,,real” Android 7.0 or just another corker/lie from Chinesse masters?

I want to try Android 7.0 on this tablet:

a. should I wait for an officially update from VOYO or

b. should I try a custom ROM (from this website/russian sites)?

2. I want to root it. Should I wait for Android 7.0 before trying rooting it? I do not want to brick it, and (most) of images (that I read on this forum) had problems (minors or majors).
