I've found that when this happens, if I remove my card and reinsert it, the system will then detect it. Sucks, but it works for now.

Any thought about using a USB charger (iPhone type)? It would certainly make traveling easier not to have to take the wall charger...

I've been following this thread for awhile and the devs on Twitter. I just saw this:

"TheDudesAndroid

Clockwork Recovery is done for the augen tablet...I should have it on rom manager later today."

Hopefully this helps someone... I'm not trying to be a troll or anything. Keep up the good work guys.

The bigger question is if you make a power to USB adapter (9V and the right current rating) and plug it in will you nuke the USB chip

I actually copied the /tools folder from the Android-sdk-windows folder right to the root of my c drive. So then when you're in cmd you can just do the command cd/ to get to c:/ instead of having to navigate with commands to the androidsdk and all then you just go to c:/ and then type cd tools

then you're in C:/tools> and can do you're adb commands. Make sense?

thedudesandroid has been doing a lot of work. Should be sweet that we can use Clockwork.

I'll also try the eject and re-insert of the SD card while in USB mount to see if I can get access to both 2GB internal & SD at same time, currently it's only the 2GB

Anyone care to share what it actuall is/does?

Thanks

it's just an APK. adding now. it's nothing special
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smlsr:
Well that much I knew... thanks... Just wondering WHAT it is? Does it actually provide access into the Google App Store, or some other app store? And if some other, whos/what?

Sorry, should have been more clear :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
I said it is an Alternative. a 3rd party app store

Hopefully this is just an alternative til they can fix the official Android Market
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaViNLuNeY:
Nothing really special so far, there's quite a few apps, but definitely not Marketplace replacement worthy. Going to test some of them out now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
I am wondering where the Calibration and 7800 update we all did last night went. It's no longer on the site?

new market isn't looking good. pretty basic. No pictures til you actually select the app, no reviews that I can find. but it's a WIP i guess

CRAP! I just did a chat with Augen support and accidentally closed Window. I was going to copy and paste it here for you all.

AUGEN SUPPORT CHAT

Basically I talked to Ari. He was on the phone, and IM support at same time. He said sorry for the slow responses. I asked if this new AndroidApp store on the site was just a temporary fix for the Android market til they can get the actual market fully working. He said the Google Android Market was designed for Cell phones and that it wont be used. It's for the ereader. He said the new market listed is the "replacement" for the official market. (Not good, time for me to root and do the official fix from xda)

He also said the 7800atpsoftware calibration update we all downloaded and ran last night. that is no longer on the site. Is being updated and added to by the dev team. and will be back up for download again soon. and to check back by the end of the week as it will have more to it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdevine:
The App Store is AndAppStore v1.5.15 andappstore.com

They couldn't even give us SAM (I think it is better) or Aptoide? Very disappointing...

I have gotten the market to work quite well using the steps provided and (for whatever reason) I have downloaded apps larger than 1MB without issue...

I am now just using the Emulator to download apps I want and pulling them off and putting them in the tablet (not the best solution, but it works!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
when you add the app store they list on the augen site. update it. Then the app actually updates itself and that update the market shows how many stars an app has n such. but thats all. No reviews

meh
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
As I posted before, I would probably work but only for a very short (a minute would be a miracle) time before melting the chip. There are splitter cables out there for certain applications where a device requires more than .5A. However those cables draw power from two USB ports which means that the lines are working in parallel. So the overall voltage stays the same but the current is increased between 0-100%.

USB isn't designed to work with greater than 5V. In reality it's not even really meant for 5V, it's mean to be a 5V source and there to be some decent inline impedance. Even getting that full 5V isn't realistic because the I'm sure that USB uses a Op-Amp made with MOSFETS and not BJTs.

As I said before you COULD possibly make it work by adding another USB channel and hooking it up in series with the power section of the first one then to the battery. However, you would probably not be able to use it for data anymore as you'd have made it a dedicated power channel.

I don't think the iPad charges through USB. I thought it charged ONLY through the wall adapters. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Phones can use USB to charge because they use current mirrors to draw from the battery without having to lose voltage along the way so 5V is good enough. However, that is a low power application. A tablet is using a much larger chipset (not to mention the LCD needs a LOT more power) and therefore needs a battery that is over 5V. Most cell phone batteries are 3.7V batteries, fyi.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
With regards to charging the battery, it MIGHT be possible to rig an inductive charger inside the GT. I have yet to take mine apart and see how much space is actually in there and I'm not sure how much space an inductive charger takes up.

For those of you that don't know what an inductive charger is, the Powermat product you see floating around in webpage adds uses inductive charging to charge the phones.

However, if we could do it the best charging frequency out there is 2.4GHz since bluetooth and WiFi operate there. I'm not sure how it would affect the chipset though. This solution wouldn't completely be able to charge your GT, just extend the battery life, how much, I don't know, too many variables are up for grabs.

so is there anyway i can get my stock recovery image back. and were patiently waiting on the clockwork
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ktfoley:
I think after step 11 of the Market Fix is where I lost my Home and Search key functions. I also lost all the apps I had installed w/adb install . Resetting and restarting have not worked so far.

I can still connect via usb. I had the GT pretty well configured, and decided to try the market fix and now this happened. Until I get the home and search keys back, I'm reluctant to repeat the whole process installing apps and configuring them.

What do I do? Thanks to all in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] agbguy:
Again seems to be exactly my same issue. Something that went wrong during the market fix process disabled the Home and Search Buttons. Im guessing we both bungled something and deleted or renamed something we shouldn't have.

well you could try to rig using parts from palm touch stone charger. some guy did that on his hd 2. plus its kind of cheap at $30(if purchased separately)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgyee:
The iPad does charge through USB. There's a recent article on various tech sites regarding how Apple regulates the amperage using certain resistance values on the data lines.

I have left my iPad on my regular laptop and it will trickle charge while it's asleep. It will charge far faster when you attach it to the iPad wall charger or one of the approved third party chargers that has the proper data line resistance value and the higher 2A output.

With regards to the USB charging - I've taken my Augen and dropped the battery down to about 70% by using it, then I take the Augen and hook it up to a standard 500ma/5V USB wall wart.

All it does is it maintains battery levels at about 66 to 70 percent as I use it. So, the USB charging is good for status quo battery levels, not for charging.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v8_aristo:
This happened to me the 1st time I tried the market fix. All I did was to go through the whole process again and it worked. I really don't know what I did wrong the 1st time, but I didn't have anything to lose so I just did it again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
So does anyone have any other idea's on how I can get my Windows 7 64bit machine to actually see the Augen GT in ADB. I've done the latest updates through augen and now I have full access when I plug in over USB. I can mount and see the 2GB of internal storage, as well as my 32GB MicroSD card. but I still cannot get it to show up when in CMD and I do adb devices

I'd love to root and do the market fix. but still not seeing it. thedudeandroid on twitter said he used a modded usb INF file to get it to work on 64bit.. any idea's guys?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ktfoley:
I'm running through the market fix again, and I'm getting a fail on the mv (step 5) command:

Nevermind, got past that part. Apologies. Continuing on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xcountry66:
This is exactly where I got hung up. Im wondering if its missing a step or something. Anyone care to clean that fix up a tad bit or possibly do a quick vid of it???lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
I tried to find the iPad battery type but I never could even from the reviews where they tore the iPad apart. I do however know that it uses two batteries in parallel which means it can maintain lower voltages while outputting higher current. It also uses the same chipset as the iPhone4 so it is basically an amped up cell phone.

If you also read, you need a higher power USB port to charge the iPad with. The Macs could be outfitted with slightly higher voltage USB ports that when connected to an iPad (ID'd through software), it raises the voltage. It would simply be a software controlled transformer inside. I'm just saying, it's not possible to simple do for our purposes.

Thanks for the idea on the Palm station, I'll see if I can find a cheap one of those and look at rigging up one. It would be cool to have a wireless charger or tune the induction circuit to 2.4GHz and extend the battery by an hour or two at least.

Did you read the section in the Wiki about rooting your device? I added a section for Windows people on Monday. It was an important part that was kinda left out. Someone else that was running x64 did it and then it worked.

Run the Android 1.6, this is platform-4, that you replaced the image on. Create the VM, overwrite the system.img from the one linked to in the wiki and you should have the market on that VM.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dustin4863:
its in the wiki but here you go

Flash a recovery image to your phone

First pace the recovery image in your sdcard root and rename it to recovery (so the full name will now be recovery.img)

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (wait till this# sign shows up again before you type the next command)

reboot recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rainsphere:
Thanks. I must have overlooked it. And thank you to TheDude for the recovery image.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
yay i have a nandroid backup now. It does make me feel better. everything seems to work. menu/search = down/up home= enter back=back

when i adb reboot recover it just shut machine down. I had to boot into recovery normal way. after i made nandroid backup and clicked reboot now it just shut machine off again. I had to reboot normal way. But backup is on sd card. It seems to work how it should
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ktfoley:
That worked. Thanks for your help. I completed the process without success. And tried it a 2nd again with the same result.

So I'm still without Market and still missing the funcitonality of the home & search keys.

I fear unless somebody comes up with any ideas, I may have to wait for a recovery to restore the device to it's original state.

Thanks again to all. :o)

I have found that using something metal to touch the screen seems to help like clicky part of a pen, atleast for me.

I'm updating the OP because I have a file that we can modify the clock speed of the processor. It will not overclock (need a kernel for that) but we will be able raise the min processor speed so the device is a little more snappy. The device definitely works better and paired with Auto Memory Manager, it runs 4875x better than stock.

EDIT: Updated the OP!

I'm on the irc right now anyone home? I'm trying to get ahold of augen right now because I got more problems tablet won't connect to pc at all :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
At work :( What happens when you plug it in?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguythatdid:
Nothing this it gives me the popup that says it's gonna connect but never does. Because i was using that as a way to install apps since I can't use my sdcard slot :( I did successfully install adw launcher and it worked quickboot doesn't (for obvious reasons just wanted to know) flying toasters live wallpaper doesn't work (people should future proof their code) and fancy widget shows up looking all funny. Also wanted to comment on my earlier statement about recovery. If you get into recovery and can't get out just leave your tablet on and when it's out of juice (you'll know cuz its not hot anymore) Then plug it in and start it up
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
If it gets stuck, just get a paper clip and press the reset button :)

You were using ADB? What happens if you do an adb devices? Did you try rebooting? Make sure USB Debugging is enabled too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roebeet:
Also, you might want to mention your PC specs. I'm assuming you are using Windows? I have the device and I got ADB working from the get go -- but, I'm using Ubuntu Lucid x64 with the Android SDK installed. No issues with USB permissions, but that might be because of changes that Virtualbox does to allow my non-admin ID access to USB. Not certain, however.

Btw, I found this forum from SlateDroid. I also installed an su hack / SetCPU and I get min 122 Mhz and max 600 Mhz on the device. It won't even let me go below 122 Mhz.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
Hopefully, we can all work together and get this thing going right!

I'm wondering why our mins would be lower. Mine was definitely going down to 36mhz and it was really dogging for a little. Is it possible that not all the tablets have the same SW on them? Maybe a different kernel??

Also, does this help us out at all??

im running windows 7 and it sayd my device is ready/internal but it doesnt show up as a drive. Im not tech savy and dont use adb or anything like that. I just use the devices i buy.

My thouhgts.

The on screen keyboard is off a little. I have to hit the keys a little towards the bottom for them to register right. In portrait mode/xscope browser its the opposite. Manual says there is screen callibration but i cant locate it. *its not there*

speakers are iffy. sometimes they just hiss, MOST of the time they work fine.

Launcher pro plus works great. When using plus widgets it puts the unit into portrait mode. It stays like that until i use an autorotate off widget. **atleast i can put it into portrait mode when i want**

Needs a software update BAD. Im not a techie and know that much.

I LOVE the buttons on the top right back. I am totally comfortable with them already.

Need volume and screen brightness switches. and a home button on the front would have been ok i guess.

Trust me I know what i'm doing I'm running windows 7. I haven't tried it on linuxmint yet though maybe that will help.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clockworx:
I'm the guy who did the market hack you linked in the OP. Some troubleshooting questions

1) What kind of messages are you seeing in the logcat? (assuming logcat is working!)

2) Can google talk run successfully? (if not, what does logcat show for that?)

3) Did you run the 2.x command in that thread to ensure the android ID was set successfully?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
Thanks for the hack, I was hoping it would work. I am at work now, so I won't be able to do a logcat until later or test google talk (no wifi here to access market).

I do believe I did run that command and it gave me the right AndroidID back, but it still won't work. Should I try again when I get home or maybe do a clear cache on the Market from the tablet or something??

Great to have you here, you seem to know your stuff! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguythatdid:
Okay I'm a dumbass my sdcard slot is not broken it's just all of my sdcards had an ext on them so i deleted them and reformated fat32. Also i'll download alogcat here in a sec. and do some testing and get some results. I would do it via adb but still am having problems with insufficient permissions. Quite possibly on my end
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clockworx:
I would test google talk first. Anecdotally, I've read that there is some correlation between the two so I would try to get them working. I got lucky and mine worked right away. All I can say is that the symptom before applying the hack was the same: No issues browsing the market, download started, download failed.

I haven't really kept track of my own thread that much, but I know some people have been helping out with troubleshooting, so it may still be worth posting there to see if anyone has suggestions. I know they've helped a few people who applied the hack and the market still didn't work.

The issue may also be complicated by whatever crazy modding Augen might have done. I believe that the correct way that the androidId is created is that the device sends google a unique hardware (as in phone network) ID and google account, and google sends back an android ID. For those of us with tablets, no hardware ID, no dice! So my hack skips that step and just goes straight to having an Android ID. It appears that Augen left some phone stuff in there (based on the signal stuff in the notification bar), so I am wondering if the phone is reporting some kind of faked hardware, which may or may not interfere w\ the market hack I used.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clockworx:
Well, on the PDN Google Talk would just crash on launch, with a logcat message that AndroidID was zero. I guess that's not your issue. Maybe try launching the market and seeing what logcat says. Clearing market cache and doing a reboot might have an effect as well, not sure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
I was about to get you a logcat on the Market but my GT died and I don't have a charger for it at work here. So, I'm hoping someone else can do it for now.

1) Download aLogcat here and install.

2) Do a Menu > Clear Log

3) Open up the Market and try to download any app and when it says failed, open up aLogcat and his "Pause" than "Send" and post what you have here.
