Adding my 2 cents worth on the WowPad/SuperPad situation.

I got a used WowPad in mid-Nov but a friend liked it so much that she hijacked it within a week for her trip.

Then I asked a friend visiting China (Guangzhou/Canton) to buy 2 pcs for me.

I gave him the exact specs.

He duly bought two but hijacked 1 for himself before passing the remaining unit to me.

The new unit is SuperPad.

The system info reads:

build: deb-r2.1.1170

kernel: 2.6.32.9 hzhao@emma#1

firmware: 2.1-update1

Yes it comes with the 3D WowHome.

We bought them with keyboard leather case & have the shop apply the screen protector onsite.

Amazingly, this latest revision's resistive touchscreen came real close to a capacitive screen!

First, you could actually use your finger tips/pads instead of nails (both works).

Second, the surface is smoother though not anyway near as silky as a real iPad.

It give the Toshiba Folio/AS100 capacitive screen a run for its money!

Problem A:

I had some scare when it occasionally fails to turn on!

After observing for nearly a week, I narrowed it down to this:

1. For some reason, if you leave the AC adaptor plug in after full, it turns off charging.

2. In this non-charging mode, it somehow discharged something inside the tablet.

3. My guess is that when the tablet tries to turn on later, it sensed about battery flat & turns off before completing boot!

4. This happens twice to me.

5. I finally make it a practice to turn on the tablet with AC plugged it first thing in morning.

6. Observed that battery Booster reports charge level of under 30% upon boot completion.

7. However, the level climbs quickly to 100% (in about 1 minute).

8. Hence my guess is that the battery is actually charged but there is bug somewhere in the sensor circuit.

So now my SOP now is to turn on the SuperPad and wait 1 minute before removing the AC plug.

Of yeah, the batteries were not calibrated. Was getting 1 hour battery life.

After calibrating the batteries, I now get 3~4 hrs of video playback at 30% brightness (WiFi on).

Problem B:

I get frequent 'kernel panic' messages which force a reboot!

So far have not found a cure.

Observation is that when resuming after sleep with a USB drive attached caused the problem.

Will havwe to experiement whether the drive has to be active.

One thing I have notice about all Android tablets to date (WoWPad, SuperPad & original 7" Flytouch) is that their USB drive handling sucks!

First, severe tendency to declare dirve/SDcard damaged.

Second, requires this ridiculously involved Home, menu, Settings, Storage, Drive, Unmount procedure!

Anybody got a better way?

Others:

I was lucky to have no problem with the speakers...

The registration code was supplied in a sealed envelope taped to the leather case.

Webcam works though the quality is nothing to shout about.

Have not tested the mic & GPS yet.

MicroSD card problem

Hi

I need some hint on my SuperPAD (fw 1170). It don't see any microsd flash more than 2G. I try simple microsd and microsd HC card, and allways have "Damaged card" message from tablet. May be some special format needed? check 4G and 8G microsd card. Microsd 1G and 2G work fine, but small for me.

Anybody knows how to solve this problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] molecular2:
"Damaged" microsd card.

I had the same problem! What I did was to put some apps in the root directory - with NO folder. It immediately recognized the card!

Unfortunately others have tried this with NO success!!!!

So it might work - please try it.

people PLEASE help me!

i was in Beijing, for a vacation, and i bought 20 of Infotmic x220 for a low price.

now - 5 of them have greyed out Wi-Fi, and 2 of them are stucked on wowpad green screen.

i have read much on this topic, but i really dont know what to do with the wifi.

someone said that downloading wefi would do the trick, but wefi also cant turn on wifi on.

in the android sys info app it says - WIFI_STATE_DISABLED

could it be that it's a physical problem, that wifi module was detached from the device, inside, or this is a common problem ob wowpads ?

i plan on giving them up for free mostly, to my friends, but without wifi they are pretty much useless.

the other 13 are working perfectly, with everything tested - USB, WiFi, GPS (omg,signal is flawless), screens, and everything, and i tested the CPU's, everything is working, 'cet for those 2 stucked at the green screen, and those 5 not being able to activate wifi.

i cant enter into master reset, with home+back+power, and then releasing home, id that correct procedure ?

please help me, im planiong on selling 8 of those, and im gonna sell the ones working, but the rest, it would be really good if i can make them operational.

so, what do you think - physical bug or system bug ? to say it again - "turn on Wi-Fi" is grayed out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drazix:
On top of the device is a Wifi switch, are you sure it's not in the wrong position :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Igoritza:
mada fa ...

i cant believe it. i just trashed one, trying to open it, and when i checked the wifi module connection, i tried to close it, and accidentally pierced it with a screwdriver. through a screen. :(

i have spare parts, on that matter. there goes 70 euros (price of one i paid for in Beijing)

on the other hand - green screen, anyone ? two 2 fix, that's all left with my problems .. flashing maybe, with this:

Maybe wrong Pad, X220 is a 8" 4:3 Pad !

But if you bought the 10" X210 Pads with GPS, upgrade them all to the 1170 firmware with the burntool 0.75 via USB with a WindowsXP PC !

;)

You tried to close it with an screwdriver ???

@ duno -

where did you get the idea i was speaking about the wrong pad ? this is wowpad/FT2 topic, and i didnt make the mistake. in Beijing the price varries from 70-120 euros for wowpad, in shops. i believe it's much cheaper in ShenZhen where it's produced. and, i got the better price (70) cause of the ammount

they all are 2.1 , 1170, but i was asking about flashing them, cause of the 2 of them being stuck at the greenscreen. :) that's the problem for me, and - the funny thing is that every pad was working before i came back to europe, maybe the temerature messed them up, or something, i carried them as a compartment luggage, in a bag, and i took care of not shaking them and similar.

about the screwdriver - stupid mistake. when you assamble the unit, it has to fit in plastic, so everything falls in place, and i didnt want to just push the plastic with fingers, rather to strech it a bit with scredriver, and it slipped in my hands ..

can someone tell me ALL ways of manually reset, button combinations ?

1. power + menu = freezes at infotmic screen

2. power + back + home = prompts me for button combination then starts normally

anything else .. ? i will eventually do it with USB cable, but i would like to try all combinations first.

I saw a video somewhere about the ones without screws .. they uses a glass suction device on the center of the screen that was turned several times to provide the suction adhesion ... it had a handle they used to pull up the screen.

The video i saw with screws he pried up a tiny bit of top right and worked along the top then around the rest of the way raising barely enough to get at the screws ... taking care not to separate the copper strip at the bottom right.

invisible apps in market

Hi,

I'm the proud owner of a Superpad aka Flytouch 2. With working GPS etc.

One thing is strange.There is an app in android market from Navionics. Search string "marine: UK Holland". It is visible in androidzoom, but not on the market, installed on my superpad.

Can anybody explain that?

I have downloaded other apps already and other paid apps are visible, but this one isn't.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alex-art:
Market content is specific for device and a country. Like I was able to download Navionics on ZT-180 but not on Flytouch which is basically the same platform. So just find the APK on internet or take from another Android phone and manually install it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LynchBEAST:
From what i've read, you need to uninstall the market, then TURN OFF the device. After turning it back on, it should appear in your apps updated.

My bad, as i have not used this device, and have spent all day fixing a nintendo Wii, i thought reset would just turn it off. i should have just said turn it off, not reset... SORRY

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tankuk:
I received my superpad yesterday and I am impressed with how well it runs.

I do have one major problem, it looks like the connector for the back light on one side of the screen has become disconnected. So one side is lit up and the other isn't.

I have read through the posts and should be able to take it apart and check the cable.

Has any one else had this? Do you think it will be the connection are a problem with the back light its self. I have only just got it so should be able to send it back to Hong Kong for a replacement but if its just a cable I need to put back in place I am sure I can handle that.

launcher pro by far tried adw (like it on my kaosfroyo eris) and zeam but lp seems so much smoother. if you havnt played with your yet just be prepared you are going to have a green screen lock or kernel panick but it will settle down once you fix a few things.

3rd party roms

I think the relevant info from the bootloader (memory address offsets afaik) and possibly the original kernel .config is necessary before we can create full roms using custom kernels.

As an (apparent) exercise in futility I have tried compiling some kernels from boards with similar chipset/CPU/peripherals, but can't get any of them to actually boot on this tablet.

So no froyo+/cyanogen until we have more information about the bootloader, or at least the kernel config (which may contain the bootloader info we need).

Maybe some of the suppliers of these have contacts with the manufacturers, and can try to request up the chain for some of this info? It would only help sales if this device was fully unlocked. Surely the manufacturers don't care if people open these devices up for more uses...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Drazix:
I asked the guy who ported Froyo to the ZT-180, how to do the same for the Flytouch2, part of his response:

"Though 2.2 can share the kernel with 2.1, but because 2.2 and 2.1 cpio is different. i don't know Flytouch2 whether use the cpio mode. In zt-180,only change cpio to android 2.2, and porting android system to the same kernel ,it will works. use adb-> adb shell ->ls / -> see whether init.rc is here."

So maybe someone can check if the init.rc file is available?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
It is. My next step (now that I've gotten qt3 compiled and working on this tablet) is to start tinkering with init.rc...

I am most interested in replacing the kernel so that it will be easier to run native linux apps on this tablet for a low-cost device to run my employer's legacy apps. This is not what most (maybe any) other people are interested in, but replacing the kernel would benefit us all a little :)
