A few more things now that I've had it for about 14 hours.

The screen is really nice. Quite amazing for the price. I took it to a dinner party tonight as most of the people there are techies or gadget people, and they were all amazed with how decent it was for the price. Sure, it's not super-fast, but once you get used to the amount of pressure you need to use when scrolling and moving around, it's actually quite responsive. Of course, when you go back to using something like the Evo or a Pre, they feel super-smooth and hyper-responsive in comparison, but I digress.

The Marketplace is kind of bare-bones. There's a lot of stuff I have on my Evo that I'd like to have on the M-150. I guess I'll have to pull some APK's out of the Evo and try 'em on the M-150.

Web pages are decent on the M-150. I haven't run into any serious problems yet, but I haven't tried any Flash-intense sites, either. Obviously, it won't do Flash.

Youtube continues to impress. The videos are kind of low-res, but they start to play almost immediately; faster than my Evo does (or my Pre did, or my daughter's Hero does).

Viewing mobile sites in the browser is really a treat. Gmail works super-well.

Battery life seems to be kind of short. I turned the screen brightness down all the way, and it seems to help a lot. Not sure what else I could do.

Wifi is finicky; sometimes it will pick up the local network quickly, while other times, I have to open the Wifi config and tell it to connect. There's no rhyme or reason to this. It should be said that it does configure up just fine, and works pretty quickly for the most part.

Lots of my friends tonight all said they want one, if for nothing else than to have something larger than a phone with them when they go to the rest room, a meeting, a bar, coffee shop, or a friend's house. The smaller size (than an iPad) really is a plus.

I never thought a 7" could be decent enough. Now I know that it can be. This little M-150 is a lot of fun, and can be quite useful, too.

Next up: trying to get PDF's on it and to see how useful it can be in reading them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smib:
Thanks for that update. It's nice to know that if I can't make it work as a permanent fixture in my car I should still be happy with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FredOak3:
Same as most, ordered on the 27th, got my shipping notification last night but no estimated delivery yet...I'm still looking forward into looking at what I can side load.

Will have to keep waiting to see if someone comes out with a working ROM that we can try, but I can keep amused with a new gadget for a while.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rixsaw:
Here is something interesting. I just visited the maylonggroup website, and the specs on the M-150 said that the processor is ARM9. This is not the same processor a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if this is why the ROM that work with the 2.0.1.105, doesn't work for the 2.1.1.105. I will call Maylong support to ask for the 2.1.1.105 ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] goyjuss:
I believe it's been shown as an ARM9 processor the whole time it's been up.

If you go back to one of the first few posts you will see that the specs were posted.

In other news, I just got off the phone with a customer service rep. When I inquired about my order he let me know that there was a 10-day processing time frame for the tablet. He said that by November 11th I should receive a shipment confirmation and that they were NOT in fact selling out of these things and that there is no backlog.

Now to wait another week or two for this thing to come in.

****..:mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
Here's the listed specs.

http://www.maylonggroup.com/M-150_MID.htm

When I click where to buy it lists a bunch of places, but none actually carry the tablet. Odd. At this point, being that I just ordered on the 3rd, I'll be surprised if I ever see this thing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tipstir:
Full review by me, but the product is the same as my ePad the CPU listed on their site (Maylong is in correct) I also conected someone at VIA gave him the link to the M-150. He told me they only got one CPU and it's VIA WM8505 running at 300MHz and there was no such VIA VM8505+. So when I got my M-150 and had ran some test and sure enough it's the same WM8505 @ 174BMP. This has to be rooted to get anything out it.

Full Review by me

Now I had released this early this morning based on the Rooted ROM 1.9_88v3 shown in our member's video on youtube.

Tipstir's | Rooted | ROM | MOD M-150 2 v0.6c v2.0.0_105 | Hybrid (256MB) | Yes Market Works! Released with 67 apps fully installed and ready to be used plus a Bonus Wallpaper Collection tested on any tablet, and since it works out of the box there are 45 pre-selected to use with Magic Wall included and loaded and ready. Just have to point to the Wallpaper folder on your sdcard.

Sample output is from ePad (both models are the same generic flytouch)

Total newbie here when it comes to android tablets, can I please ask a few questions? the user manual isn't very good. I take my Mom to a lot of Doctor appts. so I basically want to use this just for the internet while I'm waiting for her, I decided to remove the camera and video because I don't want to use it for that.

Is there anyway to clean out cookies or your browsing history in this?

Is there anyway to make your most visited websites your favorites and put it on the main screen?

Can you delete the preloaded youtubes? are they even preloaded or are they just random youtubes that come up?

How do I download an ebook? do I have to download that book thingy on the screen?

Do I only need the SD Card if I want to take pics and videos or download files from my regular computer to this device?

When I clicked on App Market they asked me my e-mail address, Account Name, and password, do I give them my gmail information? and what do they mean by Account Name? and do I get a large choice of games to download?

Can you only view websites horizontally on the screen? or can you change it to vertical? if you can change it how do you change it?

Any other recommendations for Apps to remove?

I really appreciate any info you can give me, like I said I'm new to this.

BTW I have to say I love the internet part of this just for browsing, and so far so good on the wifi signal, we'll see if I can get a signal when I leave the house.

Thanks for any info, it's appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewbieNovice:
WOW! how did you get all of that on your screen?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tipstir:
Under Settings Applications each one has a way to clear the cache. But this is time consuming. There are some apps that will do this for you. But your device needs to be rooted. You can manually do it in the browser and set it to clear history and cache from memory, remember these devices have no moving parts.

With my experience with owning 7x tablets so far if the single is weak, then it's time to invest in additional access point or repeater for your wireless. Tablet Wi-Fi is not like what you have in your laptop, netbook or desktop. These only have 1T/2R or 1T/1R numbers mean how many ANT are inside. T= transmit and R= receive.

The default browser is pretty good and all those settings are in there. Just load the browser then press the menu button to access settings in there you can make your choices.

Use the same button for other apps also.

Home screen + docker screen <

In the docker screen you just press down and hold the icon app you want to appear on the Home screen. To remove such an icon app press down on the home screen and then the trash can will appear, move your icon app to the tash can and the icon app will be no more!

about to try out Tipstir new ROM right now. Will report back with results....

well the ROM upgrade loaded, got the new android splash then the metallic android loading sceen for like 3 min+ then nothing. process system not responding. screen doesnt work for either selection, had to power down. Mine was the one that shipped with 2.1.1_105. Oh well, guess Ill have to wait more.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ishman:
Tipstir is working on a new ROm for our device should be out this evening.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewbieNovice:
OK, this is 1 of the annoying thing about the manual, they don't tell me what the docker is. I have this thing on now so I'll try to understand what you told me to do in the 1st post LOL. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

OK, I'm trying to add my favorite websites to the front of the screen, can I even do that though?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewbieNovice:
OK, I found where I can edit my bookmarks and I found History, so if I delete History then I'll basically be deleting cookies?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewbieNovice:
I found out how to add favorites to the screen, but now I can't find the browsing history that I found before. :(

I get the same error after boot process bla bla error. No buzz when you press the power button but loads until error. The buzz when you press the power button missing??? Whats this all about? Hmm.. must be related to no touch screen working?? I did get it to load once but froze at the home screen with no touch screen. Mine was delivered a couple of days ago. Took less then 2 weeks for delivery. Come on tipstir... You can do it!.... And again Thanks for all of your help!

Beta release here, but one member reported it works just market didn't load, I can fix that. Calender (I can fix that) Facebook version didn't load. He replaced it with v1.4. That can be fixed too. Next build..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] slx12001:
This file just comes up as a file. Not rar or anything that can be viewed. Same with wallpaper. Did I do something wrong? Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tipstir:
I am using Win/Installer to install the files on SDCard, then press and hold power to shutdown M-150 press and hold the power again the ROM flashing process starts.

Wallpaper just adds the location where they're kept on the SDcard for MagicWall.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] slx12001:
Has anyone got this to install? If so how did they do it? It states a file and wants me to choose what program to open it with. None work. Thanks again tipstir.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ishman:
Make sure you add an .exe to the file name. It installs on its own after that

Waiting for my Maylong M150

I have been watching with interest the last couple of days here...and I have learned a lot about what to expect from my device...

I ordered mine early on Oct 30...I have yet to see the processing of the funds from my account or a shipping notice...I called Walgreens on this past Friday and they told me they were having a problem getting the emails and notifications out...so evidently they are getting a lot of calls...I called them again this evening a few moments ago when I noticed that Dougefresh ordered their device on Nov 3rd and just had the payment processed...when I spoke to the representative today from Walgreens...she told me I should be getting the device in the next day or two...I asked how she knew that...did she see a shipping notice...she then told me that the device is being shipped from Walgreens to Walgreens warehouses....I asked if I could cancel the order and that's the reply I received...so I expect some action soon...

If I do receive the device in a couple of days I plan on playing with it and following the advice and knowledge of Tipster who seems to be the resident expert.

Hope to communicate more...and will possible share a video on my youtube page...

Be sure to link your video! I figured with the high demand of this device there would be better unboxing videos but they all suck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
Actually I had a hold on my card up until today, when I received the confirmation, I checked my account again and the charge vanished. As in I haven't been charged still. Not sure what that means, if anything. Just explaining.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jammallnyte:
Oh man I hope tomorrow is the day my little robot buddy shows up. So ready to play with it and it looks like trip's root and 2.1 rom is getting close to being ready.

Question can I log into the pad/market with my same Google Id and use paid apps I have?

Edit: ups tracking number still isn't showing up. That makes me nervous
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maestroteague:
Wow, I ordered mine on the 28th about 10 PM Eastern, and I haven't gotten any kind of notification, nor any activity on my credit card. :-( With several orders from the 27th getting their confirmation on Friday, I was expecting/hoping to get mine tomorrow and at least have my tablet by the end of the week. Still hoping! Very curious to see the stock, which build it is, and how Tipster's progress on the rom comes along. Tipster, been following you here, there and everywhere it seems, and want to say thanks for your efforts!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] slx12001:
That works duh.. I was looking way to far into the installer. Loads good runs fine except for a calender error but seems fine other then that. Cool! Waiting for root and market. (has fingers crossed)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stickstickly:
I ordered the product on Oct 27th. I received a UPS tracking number on Nov 5th from Walgreens via Email. They also say my credit card was charged Nov 5th. (Can't verify don't have online statements) However the UPS tracking number provided comes up with nothing.

When I get the product I will do a 720p unboxing with my Incredible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FredOak3:
Credit card has charge posted yesterday but still no update to the UPS page. Will check it later today.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ms960:
Got mine on Friday and, to be honest, am a little disappointed with it. I know it was only $100, but I have a Droid X and this thing is slow, the screen is squishy and...

...now it won't boot. I get the Maylong splash screen, and then it attempts to start the boot animation, but gets stuck right at the beginning (before the little android guy starts dancing.).

It's stock -- no attempts to load a new ROM. Anybody have any thoughts on how to get it unstuck during the boot process?

Thanks!

Shipping takes 7-15 days given on the time you order and the number of orders ahead of you. Remember this is Walgreen's Pharmacy, not like Huge Electronic Inventory Company that sales mass devices 24/7. To me I'll never order from them online again. CS from WG isn't helpful. UPS tracking was never updated. I was told it would have arrived last Tuesday it never showed up until the Wednesday with a door bell ring from UPS.

Ordered: 10/22/10 - Friday

Tried to cancel on 10/23/10 - Saturday

Tried to cancel on 10/25/10 - Monday

Item was shipped on 10/26/10 - Tuesday

Item was stuck at UPS hug on -10/27/10

Tried to do an inquiry about the status from WG CS on -11/1/10

Item still didn't have tracking info updated (reason UPS didn't update it)

Was told I would get it item on - 11/2/10

It was rescheduled by UPS on - 11/2/10

Delivered by UPS on - 11/3/10

Thanks Tipstir, i know there are a lot of people wanting some type of upgradable ROM.. Since I'm a Linux man, and by your spec sheet - this Maylong device has a 2gig internal storage. I'm wondering if someone was able to port Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition that supports touchscreen, and also the ARM9 processor. If it could, them here comes HULU!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jammallnyte:
Ok so I ordered mine on the 27th, 5 days after you did. So if you got yours on the (using simple math and I'm scared saying that cause I don't trust walgreens) I should have gotten mine today but with the delay I am hoping for no Later than Wed.

Of course all this might be for not if it isn't half way decent and and I have to return it which would be sad. Although.... at a $100 price point I could just turn this over to my 7year old who is becoming a computer user himself.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Smib:
I called again this morning, and this time the lady put in a cancellation request for me. She said that there's a chance it's shipped out, but no e-mail or charge have gone through yet, so I may still get it... eventually. If I do get it, I'll probably just return it to Walgreens and buy the higher spec tablet from DX I linked earlier.

My expectations of the M150

I have to admit I haven't had any experience with the Android OS...one of the reasons I want to get this thing is to try it out...I was looking at doing some programming if it appealed to me...

I am a computer junkie...I still run some computers with Win 95 and Win 98 because some of the old games play on them...my Wife is about to shoot me over all the live but dead hardware that accumulates as I experiment on the joy of electronics...having earned my degree in Electronics Engineering a few years ago at the ripe age of 40 something...I am hoping that a Eureka moment will come along and the empire that was supposed to be mine, my Dad's and my little brother would come to roost...since we were tinkering in the mid to late 70's on old commodores and Ataki(sp)...

I see some have said they received by USPS and others by UPS...the spectrum of comments regarding the replies from the Customer Service at Walgreen is really all over the place...

I always ask the good Lord for patience...this is one that is definitely trying that request...I ordered from them because of the close proximity and if possible I could return the item...but a part of me wished I would have ordered something from China...I think I may have got it by now and could be playing with it...

For me it's not so much how well the device responds...I realize it's bottom of the line or close too it...because I plan on upgrading as the second and third generation tablets are starting to hit the market with the bugs kinked out some and the expectations met for about 100 to 200 more...to me the Ipad is not complete for the exorbitant price they charge for it...but it is nice...and if I was just rolling in dough probably wouldn't be here now...so I think this will be a good learning experience for me...as I have already learned a whole lot just on forums like this...never stop learning that's one of my motto's

As a veteran of the Armed Services...it behooves me that I missed this was a holiday celebrating those who have served and died...can't wait to see more on the M150...my video will be 720 also and shot from a vid cam...and I will link here if it is allowed...

I also ordered on 10/27. A call today (11/8) finally got me a tracking number, but UPS only shows "Billing information received as of 11/1". That means something is going on, but UPS doesn't have the package yet. I paid with PayPal on the 27th. That charge finally posted through on 11/5. I too am hoping for 11/10 delivery.

I should have my Cousin he's been with UPS for over 20 years look into it and should never trust Walgreen's. Make sure you didn't get charge tax on the shipping. I found out I was charge it. This doesn't make sense. Oh well. Between Sears ads of tablet not available in any store and Walgreen's shipping method things are really bad in 2010 than 2009. This is the year of the tablet and 2009 was the year of netbooks. But come on who's running the show at these two companies.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
I don't think this is a UPS problem. What's probably happening is Walgreens is printing UPS labels and then sitting on them while they wait for a pickup (which they should be getting daily). Hence UPS being aware of a packages existence, but not its location. Just a theory. Of course I could be wrong.

I'm going to call tomorrow and see what's going on with these yahoos, as its been 5 business days tomorrow for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] The code stops here:
Tipster...you made a good point the other day...when you said it's not from an electronics retailer...this is probably not that uncommon for walgreens when dealing with such an item...someone at Walgreens probably jumped on the idea of selling these things...but didn't realize the demand they would have for them...and probably didn't think out the distribution angle...

I have spoken with the CS now twice and since I am a nice guy have not given them the riot act yet...would love to see some confirmation like an email at least showing it has shipped and is on it's way...they still haven't taken the funds out of my account...I paid through paypal...so I could stop the payment...regardless of what Walgreens policy is...but I still want the item...if I don't get it by the end of this week I will be totally discouraged from ever dealing with Walgreens again concerning such items...

According to the rep I spoke with Sunday afternoon...the item should be here today...but I ain't crossing my fingers...without an actual ship notice and tracking number and the fact the funds have not been retreived from my account...tells me they probably have not even designated an item to be shipped yet...I let them play thier little spiel on me for the moment...but I'm going from patience to frustration real quick...hahahahaha...

Also...I noticed that the new version of the rom was on the tablet you received...did you try your previous rom that worked on your epad on that device...just curious...

7 business days for me as of today...I actually thought yesterday was a holiday for some reason...I thought they started putting Vets day on a Monday of the week it falls on...so one day this week may not be counted as a business day...

I think they didn't realize what kind of reaction they would get to this product and thought it would only sell a few...I bet someone is going crazy at corporate over the inability to get them delivered more efficiently and the fact that I have seen at least 3 people here return them...so returns will be an issue with them as well...they may end up selling them as open items for around 75-85 dollars...at their local stores they received them as returns...
