US customs will usually contact the courier, the courier then contacts the shipper. If they don't respond, the courier would then contact you. They are looking for the FCC ID. Looks like they contacted the shipper and they provided the documentation before anyone had to contact you. You were exceptionally lucky!

That makes it seem like they had simple justification for cutting cost going with a 2axis vs. 3axis part... I'm sure they had some... but no where near as much...

Accelerometer

Does anyone know if the Zenithink Processor Daughterboard has any analog inputs (perhaps 3?) or any SPI or I2C interface? I could easily come up with a small addon PCB with a 3-axis accelerometer if there are people out there who know enough about Linux drivers and how to interface it to Android so that we could make this a more compatible Android platform. There are plenty of 3-axis accelerometers available at around $3 in small quantities, a small PCB might be $1 so it would be a cheap upgrade if we could pull it off.

As you by now already know, I have responded to your plea for help in the slatedroid forum. Since my ZT-180 was seized by U.S.Customs, and I was successful in getting it released, I am unfortunately now an "expert" in this.

I did have to prove that is was OK to import. I provided the FCC document, that Zenithink sent me after I contacted them. I also had to pay a $100 fee, which made this tablet quite expensive. The seller of my tablet, WiiPad, was useless. They did not help at all! DO NOT BUY FROM WIIPAD!!!

There also is a clause in the FCC rules that states that you can import a wireless device, even if it isn't FCC approved, under these circumstances:

You are importing three or fewer devices.

They are for personal use only, and not intended for resale.

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/faq_form_740.html

I will never again buy an item with wireless from an overseas seller. I will not be burned again!

Sorry for the late response one goal is to get more in to enbedet Linux,

The other one is to get a nicer os on the pad, and to understand u-boot.

This are the 3 goals, the 4 goal is to get a better grip on arm architecture.

but open the thing and solder on an smb Bord man that is hard i guess i get another pad witch faith it will be to be broken.

I bought mine straight from China, and I got mine in the states in about 15 days. The seller said he declared it at $30 so there wouldn't be any duty charge. Above a certain amount and US Customs will send you a bill with an amount you have to pay in order for them to release it to you.

installing additional languages on the ZT-180

Has anyone successfully installed additional languages to the zt-180? I would like to install Thai fonts to the unit, but I am unfamiliar with Android/Unix command structure.

I believe the unit has been "rooted", so I was hoping it would just be a case of accessing the command prompt and moving the correct fonts(which I have) to the system/font folder, however, this has been more difficult than expected. I tried using terminal emulation, but there is no keyboard available when running this, so I cannot enter any commands even if I knew 100% what to enter. I have installed SDK to my PC along with the USB drivers but cannot figure out how to connect to the ZT-180 from there, doesn't seem to be anyway of doing this, maybe I am missing an app?

Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Just for the record. I haven't published a 1020 CB version.

Android Programming Question.

Does any have worked with WifiManager Class on ZT-180 ?

I have tried:

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);

But I always get null value.

Basically I need to get the IP and MAC address from the WIFI adapter.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
My brief encounter with 1013 ended badly. My /data partition broke down (data corruption), so I reinstalled my device from scratch using 1020 firmware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alcaparra:
I think that 1020 is not bad. It gives many FC and it has programs could be eliminated. Wifi works best in your rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
It does show both in the Settings- Wireless Networks- WiFi settings IF once there you menu select Advanced... But I suspect the point of the question was obtaining this info programatically vs. using an existing app to see it and write it down for later use... But I could be wrong... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alcaparra:
the 1020 also has an application to calibrate the screen very useful.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mysticav:
Exactly, I know many ways to get that data using different apps, and even the built-in configuration panel.

My question is how to programatically access to that data. Normally any android phone can access to that info using that Class method, But for some reason ZT-180 is giving me a null value for WIFI_SERVICE.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
Thanks dude searched sears only found one that had one in stock, walked in and was told they didn't have it so I showed them online and they went to the back where they found it. Bye bye zt180 hello viewsonic viewpad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Don't know if this is a scam or not - and will not post any links to the ebay items - but, there appears to be a few Chinese vendors on Ebay offering up brand new ZT-180's for buy it now prices of $49.99 US with free international shipping.

Not of any great value to the software and hacking board - but found the price to be rather interesting. Guess the newer pads coming out are starting to reduce the price of these units

Have a good one

Why not use a command?

You can put this command into a sh script, and then run the script with a single command. Right on the tablet.

Hello, I'm new so dont be too harsh, but I have been reading on this tablet. You've already answered one question, if the ram was upgradable and thats a no, but I wanted to see if any of you have had trouble one establishing a VPN connection and then two, if you have, how were you able to access your files from Window 7 OS? Also, if you could explain in detail the procedure I would really appreciate it. I look forward to the 2.2 upgrade, but God knows when they will release it. Every site ive seen says soon. Either way, the VPN is one of the reasons why I would be buying this tablet. I dont want the new viewsonic with the dual boot. If I wanted to get a window tablet then i would have went to dreambeta.com and got theres.

Also, I know tethering is possible apparently with a little bit of coding (if there is an easier way please let me know), but how possible or is there an app that will allow me to use my android phone as a web cam WHILE tethering my internet connection?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
You get around :) I'll answer the 3 sections in order...

I haven't bothered to try using android to setup the VPN as I mentioned before, I have a Hardware VPN thus a simple wireless connection to my VPN router does it for Me... BUT... you should be able to use ES Explorer once you have the VPN connected as it is able to see/connect to Windows Shares on the network...

The Sears add mis-speaks... what they have for $379 is the Viewsonic Gtab 1GHz Tegra2, 512MB Ram, Android 2.2... NOT the Viewsonic 10 Dual Boot ViewPad (Windows and Android 1.6) running on an Atom processor...

I don't think you'll find an easier way to use AdHoc Tether for connecting ZT-100 then what I explain in the first post of my thread over at;

New firmware 1030 is out. Still on 2.1 though :s

Changelog:

1) Modify Project ID from p7901a to 1000ET

2) Replace the old calculator

3) Modify calibrate position

4) Office suite is in English

5) Add a few programs

6) A English version Burn tool

Hmmm.... 1000ET is the model of the Elonex branded ZT-180. Why that denomination change?

If you remember past posts, Elonex was developing a 2.2 ROM for that 1000ET, and now we get a new 2.1 ROM which has changed it's name... Interesting... May this mean that Elonex and Zenithink are working together and that it's Elonex who are actually working on the 2.2 beta that Zenithink is about (hopefully) to publish?

ZT-180 chip datasheet / adding a 3-axis accelerometer

Has anyone found a datasheet for this chip? I'm interested to know if it has any spare SPI or I2C ports that are routed to the daughterboard pins. If there is then a 3-axis accelerometer could easily be added for around $5. I can easily handle the hardware side but would need assistance with Linux driver and integration into Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
This would be the sticking point. You need to compile a driver against the kernel source, I do it all the time in Linux. But Zenithink has not released the kernel source, and that has stumped development of this tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
JTB,

I have the new viewsonic and as you know, tether is critical for me. I have made all the usual changes, but it simply will not "see" the ad hoc. It is greyed out and will not connect. I have checked and double checked all the files... and they are intact with all the requirements... can you think of any other file I might be missing? It works fine on my other froyo tablet by just changing the misc file.

Thanks as always for your insight

got it!!! (mode = 1 was in the wrong order!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I was going to ask what wifi chipset it was using as wondered whether we would need to make tiwlan.ini others have noted on other devices but they too like me at the start may have made this more complicated than need be as seems this is just supplicant functionality so only the relevant supplicant file needs to be changed... Glad to know if Sears confirms my order is indeed in stock like it showed yesterday I'll be right behind you after I pick mine up at lunch...

I'm back to 1020
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Can you elaborate?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alcaparra:
IMHO (feature: best ROM)

WIFI: 0929 CB

Fewer FCs: 0929 CB

Superuser work fine: 0929 CB

Market: 1020

Screen calibration: 1020

1020 has an application to calibrate the screen. After screen calibration, zt180 works very nice, almost like a capacitive screen. That is very important for me. 1030 hasn't this application.

In 1020 think that "Superuser" is not working properly. I can't use "autokiller" and "Superuser" doesn't ask me I want to give permissions to "Autokiller". Can anybody help me with this?

Sorry for my english.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Well, in fact the calibration utility is there from many versions before 1020, it just was hidden, since you had to launch it from shell, using ADB or a terminal emulator. As for the 1030, the change log says "3) Modify calibrate position", so I guess the access to the utility has only been moved to another place on the settings, or may be even as an independent application, I don't know since I haven't tried 1030 yet. Anyway if the binary is still there you always can launch it via shell, as before it's inclusion on the settings.

The 1030 firmware works fine but it loses wifi signal very often in comparing with 1014. Does anybody else have the same problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
At least currently there isn't any fully implemented camera interface in the ZT-180 2.1 version so you can't add one via USB for example... you shouldn't have any problem monitoring one that is transmitting on your network though as there seems to be plenty of players available that folks have used for a webcam monitor...

I'd expect tethering with the Vibrant to be pretty straight forward... I'm not familiar with what tethering apps may be available for the myTouch though... is it rooted?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
So the new 1030 firmware is causing lose of Wifi connection, is this correct? Also superuser is not working apparently in 1020, this is not good. So right now what would be the best firmware to work with right now? Also, does the caliberation for firmware 1030 work any better or the same as 1020?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alessio2:
For Alcaparra and Dvalin21...

Superuser works fine on 1030 ROM, but you have to (again) root your device. Use Universal Androot for this and you're done.

Screen calibration is also on 1030 and is even better (notifies after completion and exits).

1030 finally also fixes sound crackling problem and mic is working (with unbearable noise, but working! ;) )

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Ok, so calibration is fine, but what about the "trembling"? When you tap and hold an icon on the desktop to move it, does it start trembling even if you don't move the finger as with previous ROMs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alcaparra:
It hasn't any "trembling", but I don't use few things of ADW like: move wallpaper, rebound (i don't know if this word is correct)...

EDIT: Have you updated ADW?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Is not ADW, it's the touch controller (or the driver) itself, the trembling on the read values is there, no matter the program that reads it. There is a test program somewhere (I don't remember the name nor the ROM version on which I ran it) that draws lines where you touch, you only need to use a stylus (so your own finger doesn't cover the part where you're touching) and you can see how the line "jumps" here and there while you are not moving the stylus at all.

Anyway, maybe it's fixed on 1030, since I've not tried it, but I have my doubts though.

I just picked up a ViewSonic g-tablet. It's charging, so I haven't even booted it yet.

The clerk at Sears was positive that the ones in stock were the Intel Atom versions, not the nVidia Tegra version. They did not have a display model, so I had them pull it from stock. It was the Tegra, and I bought it.

Even if it was the Intel Atom version, I would have bought it. With an Intel CPU, I could install Ubuntu or MeeGo. Both of those are superior to Android.

I'm not sure what to do with my ZT-180. I would donate it to Ubuntu, if they could then reverse-engineer support for it. (and then return it to me)
