China EVDO Issues

I was one of those few people actually using a supported EVDO modem on a Chinese carrier. I could plug in the dongle when the ZT-180 was running, click on the EVDO check mark, I got a "3G" icon in the task bar and everything worked. I flashed the CB 0929 and I really love the stability and speed, but now if I plug in the dongle when the tab is running, the EVDO and WCDMA choices go gray and the "Airplane Mode" gets checked - it is not really in airplane mode (there is no task bar icon and none of the various Airplane toggles will get it out). If I plug in the dongle prior to booting, then check the EVDO box, the data connection works, but there is no indication in the task bar (still have a X and no bars in the signal strength).

I know that CB is having hard disk problems, but if anyone else has the original 0929 libreference-ril.so file they could post or send me, it would be appreciated. It will save me re-flashing to the old one to pull the file. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msward3380:
Game1, CC76 did you do the following :

1. Flash with CB firmware

2. After booting add your Google account (settings accounts/sync) and connect, i have found that sometimes when adding this it will not connect, tells you it is having data problems and asks you to connect to a WIFI point, Has happened twice to me an dboth times had to just wait and keep trying sometimes for over 3 hours but finally it connects and syncs (make sure you wait for the sync to complete).

3. Reboot and then add your Andriod ID using Market Enabler, before using this you must root the device or you will get an error (mistake i made !). Only need the ID (Top line) you can leave the IMEI blank.

4. Reboot again and the market should work.

If this does not work, i found downloading the 0929 driect form Zenithink and flashing that then flashing just CB's system image worked for me and i did not get the errors i got before such as WIFI turning off.

Hope this is of some help.

yes the pc can see the sd card but the z-180 still won't how can you mount and unmount the sd card in the z- 180?

Check to make sure it's formatted FAT32 as that's the FS type the tablet wants while a PC can use multiple formats... I formated the one that didn't work for me as FAT32 w/ 4K blocksize and it was good to go...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Simply restoring libreference-ril.so to the original version might not be enough: I also changed the serial port for reference ril from /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttyUSB1 (suitable for my 3G modem by ZTE). You will find this setting in /system/build.prop

Black bar on screen

The first thing I did, when I got the Zenithink ZT-180, was changing the firmware. When the Epad was restarted, the screen displayed a black bar.

Looks like the screen resolution of the screen is higher then what Android detects....

How can I fix this? Now the touchscreen is not aligned... :(

If you need pictures, I can take some... :D

Thank you for your help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Sounds like you have a newer version of the tablet, make sure you flash the 600 version of the Zenithink ROM (not 576). If the callibration seems misaligned even after you flash the 600 version, flash again and check the ?? box in the burn tool (think it's factory default) with all four files. I flashed once with all but the user and had that box checked, and it seemed to have wiped my user partition anyways. If the callibration is still off, you probably have the same issues with the touchscreen as most of the rest of us, but using a stylus seems to help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DjoeN:
No, and i really don't know what you are talking about.

So i need to edit some config file on the Zenithink?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Well, mine broke. The screen kept going black until after a reset. I opened it up and an inductor on the main CPU board was blown. I re-soldered it and it worked for a while and then died again. It is obviously a known issue since there is glue on both of the big inductors to prevent them from de-soldering themselves when they get too hot. I think I'm giving up on the idea of reselling these. The hardware is just not reliable. I got 2, one had a bad touchscreen (thinks you drag every time you touch), the other had an inductor blow after a week, and they both have a WiFi dongle that gets way to hot and kills itself at longer ranges. It's too bad.

Didn't you get a warranty with your tablets?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] icurafu:
http://www.jiongtang.com/fourm/android-f60/android-firmware-0809-download-t1531.html

new firmware for your hackity enjoyment. (Now with 50% less bloatware.)

Any what's with the newb questions in this thread. Can't we delete them? Isn't there are way to move them to slatedroid? ah but that would be too easy. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
icurafu: Where is the link? I'm logged in (bugmenot account that works), but I don't see where to download 0809 from.

No. I bought them as a sample order from a small shop in China for <$200. I was planning on getting 20 at a time and selling them on eBay after upgrading. I could probably exchange them if I pay for shipping, but it would probably cost almost $100 to ship them 2 ways, and I may just get nothing back at all for all I know.

I can fix mine anyway. I'm probably going to buy better inductors and replace them (as well as the WiFi dongle that is inside). They are just not worth the headaches of selling.

For all I know I just bought them off the wrong source and other peoples are fine, but it just seems too risky for me now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drew442:
Where's the download?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can't find the link :)

I'm not sure it is worth it anyway...

My video works fine and I removed the extra software myself through adb.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sinme2:
I bought 6 of those fake Apple macbook air laptops thinking I can resell them.

The 1st sample I bought had no problems, but the next 5 batch bought had various issues with some with different BIOS, some not charging, some with blank screen.

So I flew to ShenZhen and tried to get the seller to accept the return and his excuse for not accepting the return was because I had opened the back cover to upgrade the memory.

Anyways, I have these sitting in my room all torn apart now.

I did manage to build a ATOM based touchpad 13.3 inch with Snow Leo.

People should be very careful about reselling these KIRFs(engadget), because some people just don't have any idea of CUSTOM SERVICE and PRODUCT RELIABILITY. If it works when you buy it, it's all that matters. You get what you pay for. (money or time)

Also, when I tore open one of the battery, it had a smaller capacity battery with 2 large metal NUTS. Nuts as in bolt and nuts. To fill the extra weight. amazing.......

Keyboard

I use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5475283

HiRes, non-FroYo version.

It only covers half the bottom, but works fine. In landscape I actually prefer the half-keyboard, I just wish in portrait it stayed the same size. Also it would be cool to make landscape have a num-pad on the other half.

I have never found a working Swipe apk for this or for my G1. If someone could post a link that would be awesome.

(I've installed one on my G1 that appears and works as a normal keyboard, but when you try to swipe with it it just beeps at you ???)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Try SlideIt Keyboard from Google market or Slideme... I've been using that mostly exclusively even on my Moto Droids since I got fed up with Swypes expiring Beta's and slow progress... SlideIt works on my M16 Tablet just fine even considering the Resistive screen...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
That is too bad. Does your wifi module have the same heat sink as in those on slatedroid?

http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/4310-how-improve-your-wlan-2.html#post33735

I notice that the main cpu board is soldered in. Do you think you can get a new one? I would imagine it is about $70-80 max.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
My WiFi did not have a heatsink, and there is not a heatsink in the pic you linked to as far as I can tell (?).

Mine is 1.2. The wifi dongle (shown in the lower left corner of that pic) has a can on the back of it. I added a strip of plumber-tape in between the can and the back of the display to try to create a heat-sink. It did seem to improve very slightly (maybe 30% max), but it still gets hot and turns off if you go too far from the router.

Sorry, I didn't see the first page at first. There is still no pic of a heatsink. That antenna mod is crazy though... I will give it a try. RF is not my specialty, so I thought it best to leave the antenna trace alone, but it is worth a shot. I still think the best idea is to replace that junk dongle all together.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
Do you think remove the wlan module and attach it to the back panel which some thermal grease and silicon will work? It will channel the heat to the back panel thus dispatch the heat faster. Also, do you know if the bus the wifi module is connecting to is a USB? Maybe the board of a cheap usb wifi module will work better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
You don't want to heat the back of the LCD display! I just added a thin piece of metal to the back of the WiFi. Yes, it is USB. If you replace it, you would also have to integrate the proper driver for the new one in to the Android OS.

If by "back panel" you meant the case... it's plastic.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
I created your keyboard layout file. Has anyone done any experiments yet with changing any of the values to perhaps get the screen to actually sleep or for the hard volume key to work?

Thanks... you guys are good!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Yes. As noted in my file, ENDCALL should turn off the screen, but instead it does the same thing as POWER. Has anyone tried a root app to turn off the screen? I can't find an apk for one, but one did exist (http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-seb-sleepwidget-jzwDw.aspx)

VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN work, but one of the 2 keys on the rocker switch automatically holds when pressed, so you will end up with either Vol-/MaxVol or Vol+/Mute (and you will lose hard keys for MENU/hold-HOME)

NOTE: A great tip was posted earlier, double click RECENT_APPS and it will issue HOME as well as RECENT_APPS, then you can just hit BACK once and be HOME.

Ad Hoc tether

I have a TP 2 with MightyRom enabled and of course has wifi router, but it is adhoc. Tethers to the Mac Book and all my other pc's but the usual "no adhoc" with android comes into play with this ZT180. Have any of you pros tried to get this going? This alone would make this an some of these other cheaper tablets worth price of admission
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
no, but a few pages ago Wifi stopped working for someone after he edited the file by means of adb pull / push (bad permissions).

But out of the box my image should really not break WiFi.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boyscout46:
how can you mount or dismount the sd card in the z-180
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
(RPMscript1.2 options 4 & 6) and (Market Enabler/or editting the build.prop file) should do it, and of course rooting the device beforehand (UniversalandRoot). Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
settings/sd card/unmount
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boyscout46:
but it won't high light it just keep saying no sd card. thanks for ansering me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
If it's greyed out then the SDCard is not mounted so you can just pop it out... Once you click it once to unmount even if you don't pull the card it won't do anything again until you remove the card and reinsert it.

Hi all

Long time reader first time poster.

Just wondering if anyone has gotten their gps to work

and how they did it. Been looking trhough the forumn and couldnt see any solution

But other then that the Pad works great
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Yeah, I don't think anyone has gotten it to work yet, but I think CB was working on it, before his Hard Drive crashed. Wondering if he was able to recover his work yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jrwa:
Yeah was look at his post. installed the new system.img he had made it run a whole heap better and it seemed like he was getting close to solving the problem but peopel kept asking him about the 3g modem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
...so, did anyone else get CB's image to work, google apps and all, without ever having to input a Google ID or run his included program?

1) Install 09/29 with cb's system.img.

2) On first boot, click Setup Wizard from the 3 choices.

3) Click the android, then click skip.

4) Turn off both GPS check marks and set the time properly.

5) Click Provision from the 2 choices.

6) Click the android, then click back, then click the 4 corners.

7) Connect WiFi

8) Add your google account.

9) Accept market terms and download an app.

This worked fine for me on one of my 2 tablets, no ID needed. It did not work on the other one and I am still trying to figure out why (maybe manually running provision will fix it)

...yes I am sure the first one worked without an ID, I just touched the tablets for the first time in a month and I don't have an ID or any of my tools with me. This proves we do not need any ID magic if we can fix the first-boot process to provision one for us.

Great work CB!

NOTE: The second tablet kept FCing on ACore after first boot. I rebooted it between steps 6 and 7 above, which fixed the ACore FC ever 5 seconds, but then it didn't have a Google ID. I'll probably re-flash it later and see if I have any better luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
2nd one worked too after a reflash.

Note: Step 6 keeps looping when you touch the 4 corners,so you have to press back or home to get out of that. Also in step 6, you may have to attempt to login to google (even though you have not connected wifi yet)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
My bad... I see that is expected operation, but apps wont actually download until you use the tool to change your ID. It just through me because in older FW you could not even login to google without changing your ID, and now everything works but market downloads fail. I still think there has to be a way to make it get an ID on its own just like a real phone running a custom ROM. Maybe we just need a setup wizard that doesn't ask you to slide open the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
hey rpmccormick, are you sure there wasn't an ID left on the /data partition from the previous firmware that was installed?

Great to hear that! one more modem that works on ZT180
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nash.villes:
After reading ten thousands of forum pages from different android forums finally i managed to get my Huawei E160 usb modem to work on Zenithink ZT 180 without any problems.

Here is what i did:

I have 929 firmware installed with Christian Buchner's system.img (for many reasons but the main reason is to see GSM signal bars correctly)

I have inserted my vodafone branded usb stick to my windows pc and after installing its drivers and connection software i have tried 3g connection. It was ok. Then i opened my device manager to see which com port my modem took and opened hyperterminal application and connected to that port (in my case it was com3 and dont forget to choose connection speed 408600 during hyperterminal connection)

After connection to modem first enter ATE and press enter (this is for seeing what you write to modem it means echo what i write)

and I have disabled the modems cdrom emulator+sdcard reader with the command AT^U2DIAG=0 and modem returned answer as OK.

After this moment my usb stick is just a plain 3g modem without its memory capabilities.

Now 3g software was previously installed on my windows pc can use the modem without any problems and i connected stick to my ZT 180 and APN settings is just reachable through system settings page. I have entered APN name and MCC MNC id's correctly. During this time usb stick was blinking continously.

Signal strength indicator showed up on status bar at the top of android window and it was showing my signal strength correctly. But still i had no connection.

I have opened terminal window on zt 180 and after writing su and gaining superuser access i entered dmesg to see the console messages.

There was a message clearly stating the problem, it was /system/etc/init.gprs-pppd permission denied. I opened root explorer and mounted /system as r/w using the button on top of root explorer window while i was in /system directory. Then i long pressed on the init.gprs-pppd script and set permissions as Executable.

Reboot and whoila, if you put your stick on the zt 180 before powering up it connects perfectly.

Hope this would be useful for huawei users.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Oh, I wasn't aware that this script was being in use at all. I thought the gprs related shell and dial scripts were merely leftovers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nash.villes:
It seems like it's connecting 2g network with that script but i didn't have enough time to checkit out. Anyway the connection indicator appears as letter G on the status bar. It should appear as 3G as far as i remember from my samsung spica.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ronr:
Changing the libreference-ril.so back and editing the build.prop returned the operation to how it was before, with icons and the bars. Thanks for the help from all.

I give up, after reflashing the device countless times WiFi still does not work, atm i'll use the LAN adapter to get wired on the net
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhood:
If WiFi is critical for you, you might want to consider going backward. I too got fed up with WiFi not working (defeats the purpose of the device, IMO), and so had to flash back to 0818 where it works flawlessly. I've been staying there ever since, watching and waiting for a firmware version that works.

Of course, I have no need of 3G or a number of other things. I just want it for things llke web browsing and book reading. 0818 works fine for me in that regard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Cbs 0929 works better with wifi then ever for me. Longer reach plus if it does disconnect it finally reconnects without having to turn wifi off and back on again.
