Glad you found me here, I can't get into the forum either and have emailed them, but never get a responce to emails I send them. This conversation is probably better on SlateDroid, but let me throw in my two cents here. You don't need the usb drivers to load for the current ROM. Just be back in the command prompt in the tools directory or path= I told you about. The two adb commands you need to connect is adb -d tcpip 5555 with the tablet being the only USB device connected to the computer, this tells the tablet to run over wifi and the -d tells the command to go to the only usb device connected, this bypasses the need for USB drivers. the second command should be done with the tablet disconnected from usb and is adb connect {your tablets ip address}:5555 to connect over wifi. If it works properly, all adb commands you do in the command promt on your computer should go to the tablet (just make sure wifi is enabled and stays on). Good luck! And if you need more help, try to post it on Slatedroid or JiongTang, this forum seems to be more for really hard technical/programming things that are over my head. But tell me how it goes.

I just sent them a couple of questions. They replied quickly, but I'm not happy with their answers. #1 is the ultimate "Duh!" and #2 is wrong. #3 is ok, as long as they are trying. Here is the full text:

Dear Terence,

Thanks for your email.

1) Pls kindly be informed we will release the new firmware upgrade if we have .

2) Our 10'' ZT-180 donot have the accelerometer .

3) Regret we would like to add sleep mode,but not able to do that at present.

Anyway,thank you for your kind suggestion and using our product.

主题： ZT-180

Hello. I am an owner of a Zenithink ZT-180, and have the latest ROM update 8-27-10. I was wondering when we can expect a new ROM, as it's now been 20 days. Also, will the latest ROM clear up the accelerometer problem (doesn't work in games/apps), and possibly add a true sleep mode, rather than just making the screen slightly darker?

Thank you,
Terence

The answers you've got @Zap! are showing that the fw development team in Zenithink is not capable to make the ZT-180 better.

We need to push them to gave to souce code out with arguments as that we will fix those problems they have.

How to run 3G USB modem with ZT180

Hi,

I have the lastest firmware with 3G capability via USB stick.

But I don't know how to run the modem after inserting the usb stick.

Any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patmtp35:
what's the number firmawre 0830 or 0827 ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngardiner:
Hi All

I bought 2 of these exactly 1 week ago in Hong Kong. Both came with the 0830 firmware and I've only now gotten around to posting about it.

My Impressions: Don't get excited, I don't think anything has changed since 0827:

1. There is no change to the accelerometer situation. It doesn't work in games.

2. There is no working market (that shouldn't surprise anyone)

3. I have tried my huawei E220 USB 3g stick. It doesn't have any effect on the device except for powering up the USB stick

4. I have found that on one of the devices, the touchscreen is terrible. It's overly sensitive at times, undersensitive at others. It often flickers slightly.

5. The audio still crackles, regardless of the volume, however high volume seems to make it a little worse. The audio is very flat.

6. WEP still doesn't work. I can connect to my WEP AP but I get no comms either to/from the device much of the time (about 80% of the time). I have applied the wifi fix. When I use the browser it drops from 3 bars to 1 and nothing will load. On another unsecured network I am able to use the wifi much more successfully.

Any other things I could investigate? Long story short I think this firmware is no better than what I've read of 0827
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Beebeep:
Hi i have the same problem. What do I do once i put in the 3g dongle.

Have the ZT180 running 2.1 fw 0827. I didnt know there was an 0830

Can you also tell me how to do this. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patmtp35:
ok think that was like for the 0827 whos named 0826 on the zt-180 , that's just screen name who change but nothing on.

hope we could hack this firmware because it seems that zenithink is forgoting us looking for the next board ...

> But regret source code is not available to customers.

Ahem. It *has to* be available (GPL).

Dell recently released their kernel patches for the Streak tablet, otherwise they would have had the risk of getting sued over it.

I doubt that the GPL has been tested in chinese courts so far. Anyone want to try and sue? ;) It needs to be someone who holds some copyright in pieces of the Linux kernel.

Hello guys,

I received my zt-180 yesterday and I'm using it since half day with a good satisfaction until now :-)

This device shows me this strange release information:

p7901a-eng 2.1-update1 ERE27 eng.wwang.20100830.105450 test-keys

that I think it could mean that it's running an 830 release?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Hey, first time posting on this thread

I've read pretty much every post on this thread - and see that there is no current fix for the WEP wifi connect issue. My only question is this an android specific issue - or a hardware issue.

Does anyone know if the Windows CE firmware have the same wifi restriction ?

I know the flashing process is relatively easy, and will be trying the Windows firmware regardless, just trying to see if I have to reset all of my router settings to WPA, etc

Is WEP the only issue ? My wifi picks up my home network, but disconnects as soon as the code is entered. Just got my ZT-180 yesterday from an XDA member - its flashed with the 0827 firmware

Any feedback greatly appreciated
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wroclaw1:
I dont' think so. But export to USA/Europe could be made an issue.

I worked for a big consumer semiconductors firm in the Netherlands. All our SW activities have been moved to China. It hurts to see that the rules of the game do not apply equally.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I connect to my WEP fine, have you copied and pasted the password, or typed it in? I find that when i try to input it manually, my touchscreen issues always causes the wrong keys to enter, so i copied and pasted it in and seems to work fine. You could also long press (press till turns white) your AP after you forget it (forget/connect) and rescan, and don't leave the settings on automatic. These two things seemed to have worked for me.

Update: Forget the forgetting and rescanning part, just saw that the settings I was talking about are in the change password menu (long press AP -forget network/change password). So if cut and pasting your password doesn't help (or making password visible when inputting), try to change the security setting in the change password menu (options listed are Auto, None, WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, and 802.1x Enterprise.

Well, what I meant is to grab a piece of the real-estate of the screen and define it as hard-wired "virtual key" area. These would include HOME, SEARCH, BACK and MENU

That way VOLUME hard-keys could go back to doing what they should do, and the power one could be long-press for SHUTDOWN, short-press for SCREEN-ON/SCREEN-OFF

I have updated to 0804, but my wifi still doesn't connect. It finds the wireless network with a strong signal, but after plugging in the wep key it won't connect.

It has never shown being connected yet on 2 different wlans that I have access to. I don't believe this is related to the overheating issue since it finds the networks with no problem.

Wifi works for me only if the network is unsecured.

Thats very bad, but that works ....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
My router is WPA2/AES. I have connected to other secure routers as well. My WiFi has always worked fine with any router as long as it is within about 10ft of it. It usually works ok up to about 30ft. Once you go too far, it overheats and dies and has to be turned off and back on again.

I did the TX Power Hack (not sure if that did anything), and I also opened it up and put a piece of plumber tape (a thin metal strip with holes in it) glue to the tin-shield of the internal WiFi dongle. Overall it improved so now I can be 45ft from the router :)

Does anyone have a link to a good heatsink method so that it can work at least as good as the also-sh*tty WiFi in my Android G1 Phone? (60-70ft, vs all laptops working from the back of my yard about 100ft). I'm about ready to try to find drivers for a different USB WiFi dongle that doesn't overheat and just swap them out inside.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drew442:
You can't expect a handheld to perform like a laptop. They don't have the power or the antenna gain.

When we do installs that require handheld access we put the access points much closer together. Sometimes there's 4x the number of AP's.

45' is good performance, especially with consumer grade equipment.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Buttons/Power

I want a HOME hardware button. We already have one, but unfortunately when you press it, it will hold it and bring up RecentApps. I don't think it is a hardware-hold, but it acts like one when you assign other functions to the button.

1) Does anyone know how to fix that? (So that power and vol+ buttons do not auto-hold no matter what function you assign them)

2) If not, does anyone know how to get ADWLauncher to appear in the RecentApps list (preferably Always)? That would be a good work around.

3) While we are on the topic of RecentApps, on my G1, SpareParts contains a setting to increase the number of recent apps. Can we do this by editing a file since it is not in our SpareParts?

I also want a SLEEP button! The power button is always held too, but that doesn't matter since the 'ENDCALL' key command does the same thing as 'POWER' instead of turning off the screen like it should.

4) Can we fix the ENDCALL command?

5) If not, does anyone have the 'Sleep Widget for ROOT users' apk? I found reviews of it but I can't find anyplace to download it. I give it less than a 50% chance of working really (or at least waking back up if it does work), but it would be worth a shot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drew442:
It's a massive irritation that those keys get held. I wonder if that was a fix for an issue in WinCE?

There must be some kind of hardware setup for the hardware keys which is a peripheral at guess, i.e. not part of the system on a chip.

WEP security possible fix

I was unable to connect with my ZT-180 to my existing WIFI router using WEP security when I had no difficulty with several other WIFI devices including my IPhone.

I finally figured out that if I changed my WEP key type from "Open" to "Shared" the ZT-180 can now connect without any difficulty.

Thinking it might be a fluke, I switched it back and could no longer connect to the router. I also found that on a different brand of WIFI router in a different location, the same problem existed. After checking the settings on the Router I found it was also using an "Open" key and when it was changed to "Shared" the ZT-180 was able to connect without any problems. It only seemed to cause problem with one or two other devices connections and when their setting was changed to "Shared" Wep key (the setting was only on units that did not work) the device would connect as well.

Hope this helps somebody.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Okay - took a bit, but got it going. I knew it had to be settings related, as the member I purchased from had confirmed that wifi was working. I tried changing settings, etc - but that did not work. So here is what I did. Do not guarantee it is a must do fix for wifi issues - but it worked for me.

I removed all settings, and left the network wide open. Took three or four tries, but the ZT-180 finally obtained an IP address and connected. From there, I left it connected - and proceeded to reinstall the security settings, staying with WEP - ensuring to use 128 bit - shared key. ( the initial setting was 64 bit open key ) Once I reset the router, the ZT-180 dropped the connection. I then turned wifi off - turned it back on, let it find my network, when I tried to connect - it prompted me for a password, I entered the key - and voila, it worked.

I've since installed and run the ADB wireless - ran the RPMScript - added my Android ID, and am now letting everything settle to hopefully get past the network connection error on android market.

I'll update my ultimate success later - once market is working, but wanted to chime in to say thanks to those who replied to my wifi issues.
