when i try to install any apk file, it say that i can only install from market and lost wifi. the settings option is gone. cant enble wifi or install update from settings. setting file doesn't exhist.
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
You used ElocityMod 1.0, did you rename the file to "update.zip" and move it to the root of your SD card?

If so, you should boot into recovery manually, wipe data and cache, and then try to reinstall the update. If you need help getting to or navigating recovery I made a post a while back I can try to dig up.
[A7 General] dcsparky:
E: cant open /sdcard/update.zip

(bad) installation abborted formating misc....

tried with the original update and modified update with the same result,

original update was done in the settings menu with no problem. when i installed the mod update is when it locked down and lost the settings option as well as WIFI.

at this point i have a browsable brick.

if the root explorer was still installed i could copy files over and possibly gett it working. files are backed up with no way to copy.
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
can you get to the app drawer? if so, you could open dev tools and use the terminal emulator to push files around the device. Of course that relies on you having the necessary files on the device.

Just trying to shoot off ideas... keep us posted
[A7 General] dcsparky:
yes i can see all the drawers and the setup file is backed up on the sd card. I am not farmiliar with the command prompt. somewhat of a knewby.

i need to read up on it.
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
Here's some basics: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/commands.htm

You'll probably need the "cd" and "mv" and "ls" commands primarily. "ls" can be used to list the directory contents. You can type "--help" after a command in temrinal for some information about the command and any switches, or "man" after a command for a manual about it.

Do you just need to move a good update.zip file into the root? I could try to help with the commands if I knew a bit more. What directory are the files in? File names good and bad? etc.
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
I've got this exact same problem. I haven't gotten around to looking for a fix, but I can tell you that the "WiFi Buddy" app doesn't help! If you find any solutions, please post up, and I'll do the same!

Thanks,

Billy
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
That's me! I was having trouble getting wifi to turn on at all with the new WPA_Supplicant, but got it working after CHMOD'ing it to 0755. I never noticed this new wifi sleep issue before, but you're right... I have it now. Hopefully we can figure something out, cause it's annoying!

Billy
[A7 General] rdjack21:
For me the wifi issue is inconsistent sometimes wifi works after sleep mode and sometimes it doesn't. It's a little aggravating but not quite enough to make me throw it against the wall :)
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Has anyone successfully installed other update.zip fixes and apk's? I'm wanting to try adfree fix, Galaxy LWP's and others. Can zip files be installed by renaming them to update.zip? Curious if its possible. These were things I would within a custom recovery that gave the option to install zip besides update.zip

BTW, everyone notice that cell standby and telephony have been removed w/ the update? I'm seeing a huge jump in battery life!
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
Ad free application works. I'd be wary of installing other updates though. Lack of a robust recovery limits the ease which you can recover a bad change.
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
if anyone can verify this one, i might have an update for you, for the wifi driver issue.. this wpa_supplicant uses the native ar6000 driver for your device, where elocity seems to use a generic driver, dunno why, but wrong it seems..

download here

inside .zip you find a wlan_tool and wpa_supplicant .

copy both files to /system/bin and run a "chmod 755 wlan_tool wpa_supplicant" from shell.. and try and reboot and see if it helps you.

remember of course to make backup of the old files first..

this one does not support adhoc, but it might just solve other isses with SSID negotiations and scanning.
[A7 General] smturgeo:
That seems to do the trick! Market hack still works but wifi now wakes up again after the Elocity wakes up. Do you know if it's necessary to replace both of these files? Or would it have been enough to just replace the wlan file?

I'll track this to make sure there aren't any other unexpected issues, but for now everything looks good. Thanks for your help!
[A7 General] Canadoc:
If I want to fix permissions form insite root explorer what should be ticked and unticked in each file
[A7 General] smturgeo:
You can just look at the files you replaced (and hopefully copied) and use the same permissions you see on them - look at the security setting.

0755 sets User to rwx and Group to rx.

I don't believe you can alter ownership of the files in root explorer, though. I'm not sure if that's required, but I change ownership to root.shell, which is the way they are set originally.
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Only uncheck the center middle and center bottom in permissions for wpa_supplicant.
[A7 General] craig118:
WiFi fixed

I only installed the wpa_supplicant file that Dexter provided. No other changes, wifi is fixed and wakes from sleep! Device is perfect for me now.

-Calendar

-Market

-Wifi wakes

Thank you Dexter!
[A7 General] jazzbone:
System Memory

Dexter

Any ideas on how to increase the system folder to install more apps?

It's way too small!
[A7 General] craig118:
Speaker volume

Dexter. Any easy fix for the volume on our device from onboard spkrs?

Even at max volume level you can barely hear the internal speakers. Plenty loud with earplugs.

thanks.
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
if you're lucky with your elocity, you can use "nvflash" to do such changes.. but we tried something similar on our folio100 and its not working.. but you might be lucky here..

our brother fellow machine, Toshiba AC100 (netbook android) works fine with nvflash .

here you got all the nice functions needed to recover a bricked tablet or even rewrite the partition table layout..

this is the link for the nvflash download (look in downloads for developer sdk)

and here is some guides from AC100 tablet .

Hope it helps!

haven't found the solution for that yet, but i can confirm its the same on folio100 , i think actually this relate to some laws on how loud audio can be on such device, because on my milestone is has different volume files loaded depending on countries, but ok, i didnt find it on our tegra2 build..
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
apps 2 sd not working.

Regardless of what app it is i never get the option to move the app to the sd. I have used move2sd enabler also.

I also don't see the option even greyed out in the application info page for any app. I'm using the same apps to allow this on my froyo droid and its working.
[A7 General] Canadoc:
Tried the fix. Didn't fix my wifi woes. It must be hardware. Elocity goi g back and not Willi g to pay another 50$ extra to order a other. Guess it's nook color for me unless price drops soon
[A7 General] durango99:
Thanks much Dexter! Seems to be working great. Do you have any idea how easy it would be to get a wpa_supplicant that has the ar6000 + adhoc?

I still have a eclair 2.1 phone that can only do adhoc broadcast and it'd be great to wireless tether for the elocity.

Thanks much!

[A7 General] touchpr02:
Thanks durango99

Now i bought a new PNY 8gb Micro sd, and the tab stays on "Checking for errors" and I can't access the card, any help?
[A7 General] anomaly876:
Just had this same problem, formatting in windows seemed to fix it.
[A7 General] touchpr02:
I'm sorry, I have spent hours of frustration on this device, and I can't figure out anything.

according to:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10078417&postcount=680

I need to use the Terminal to copy over files, what do i type to get the files to transfer using the terminal. Root explorer can't get root permission on the device for whatever reason, and I can't use the Android Keyboard to type in the terminal. the files on the stick drive won't copy over becuase i need to "add them to an archive", and My MicroSD won't register on the device because it is beng "checked for errors." Nothing i do is working. what am i doing wrong??

I am almost on the verge to just throw it away.
[A7 General] touchpr02:
My PC can't read it either. That means it must be faulty (the Micro SD)
[A7 General] cadiken:
Is anyone still having the SOD (sleep of death) issue? Anytime my A7 screen sleeps I have to shut the thing off and reboot to get it back. I thought the update from eLocity would fix this.
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Try inserting sdcard in A7.

when it reads it w/ errors goto Settings/SD AND STORAGE and select Unmount.

Leave the card installed and select Format.

After format extract sdcard and put into pc to copy update.

Should be good but if computer wont read it try inserting/extracting a bunch of fimes till it reads it. Works for me w/ uncooperative sdcards.
[A7 General] nev310:
i havent been having it since the update and everytime i put it to sleep before the update i had to reset it. also when i pushed the power button it would turn off then back on the off. i havent been having problems since the update though
[A7 General] nev310:
ad-hoc tether

does anyone have ad-hoc wifi tether working i still cannot get it to work. i also lost root with elicitymod 1b
[A7 General] anomaly876:
I was going to suggest this, but the format option has disappeared from my menu, even with the SD unmounted but still inserted

Anyone have a fix or suggestion.
[A7 General] touchpr02:
The "My Computer" window freezes when I insert the card into my PC. and the A7 just continuously searches for errors. Its a defective MicroSD. so I am buying a New one.

But thank you :)
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
i made a quick patch update for 1.0b -> 1.0c and a new full image with my root solution removed and original stock root embedded again.
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
Move to SD card ???

I don't see it available. Its not even greyed out. Maybe this version of android is not FROYO. Or i messed something up, can anybody let me know if they see the same thing?
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
Option is not there. Might be file structure differences or something?
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
I formated the sd again to fat32 and copied some files to it. With root explorer i can see all these files. I did remove some apk files from /system/app directory to make room for the market fix. I think i deleted a apk that makes this work. Are there any lists of apk from this directory and this option working?

Does this quick patch have the updated wlan and wpa supplicant drivers or must they be reinstalled over.

It is my last gasp attempt before sending back.
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
no, its a very simple fix just adding "su" from stock and removing the non-working su i added.

for the wlan fix, it require more testing to see if we can get the folio solution to work on elocity..but i dont think its happening in 2010 :)

folio share the same driver, so it might help, but its unknown atm.
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
I don't like to beat a dead horse .... But

I just updated to 1.0c hoping it would fix my issue of not being able to move apps to the sd, it did not fix my problem. What it did do is make it much faster, great job.

I had a call into Elocity tech support, called at 10am EST when they first open. Was told that i would get a call back. Still no call at 3pm EST and called again, was told they would call me, NO CALL. Their tech support sucks!!!!!
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Yeah, that tech support is lacking in follow up. This its going to be one of the devices we fix ourselves.

Im appalled by the gallery. Its slow, streaming movies FC alot and not a fan of cooliris.com at all.

Can someone without elocitymod or any build.prop updates check quadrant 'System Resources' or whatever the setting is and see how many cores the cpu is reporting? It's showing 1 core on my modded a7 just wondering if this is the norm...
[A7 General] hoagm:
Haven't had a chance to apply Dexter's mod yet. Quadrant says 1 core. But it aldo says '?' for current, max and min freq.
[A7 General] jazzbone:
I have Elocity's firmware and Gapps and Market installed.

I get over 2400 in Quadrant benchmark.

In its System Information, it has always said 1 core. Max and Min freqs are ?

BogoMIPS says 1998.84
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Is there any way to add a "Use GPS satellites" option in Settings/Location and Security? Eventhough the A7 doesn't have GPS, it can connect to Bluetooth GPS sources. W/o this option navigation in Maps isn't possible. I can't get past the "show location settings?" In Maps. Bluetooth GPS is possible thru BlueGPS app.

http://sourceforge.net/p/bluegps4droid/home/
[A7 General] hashbrown:
i think i found my answer.

On the A7 in /system/etc/permissions the is a file named:

android.hardware.location.xml

It reads:

<!-- These are the location features for devices that do not include GPS. -->

<permissions>

<feature name="android.hardware.location" />

<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />

<permissions>

On my HTC Aria there is a similar file named:

android.hardware.location.gps.xml

It ofcourse reads that there is are location-related features including GPS. the only difference in permissions is:

<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />

If i backup/replaced files on the A7 would it add Use GPS satellites to Settings/Location and Security?
[A7 General] djyellowperil:
since your using bluegps, have you tried the mock locations setting?
[A7 General] hashbrown:
in Settings/Application/Development i have Allow Mock Locations enabled.

on BlueGPS i have enabled bluetooth gps instead of internal gps. Im not seeing enable mock location in BlueGPS app.
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
What i still don't know ???

I would love to move apps installed internally to the sd card. On my elocity a7 i don't have this option, does anybody else? If i'm the only one with this problem can somebody help to troubleshoot and fix? If nobody can do this, will the fix listed in the following thread work?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832799
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
The option is not available for some reason. I personally wouldn't try that mod, but that's just me.
[A7 General] jazzbone:
This is my biggest frustration. I can't install anything else because my system folder is full. I'm afraid to try a wipe of my tablet though.

I called Elocity yesterday and told the rep about the system folder being shrunk in the firmware update and she said I was the only person to mention it.

She was also shocked when I told her we were able to install Market and G apps.

She said my issue was being escalated and that I would receive a call.

Still no call yet...

Interesting contradiction to what they have posted on Amazon reviews, about it not even having multi-touch at all. Even if it did have 1+1 that would work great as many devices with multi-touch are just 1+1..

Use Titanium Backup to move apps to SD..

-CC
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
well i tried to move the app fring to the sd card using titanium backup and it appears to not have worked. because afterwards using root explorer i go to the /data/app directory and still see the fring apk in that folder. I'm using titanium backup version 3.6.4 which is only showing my sd as 1.69GB when its 16GB.

I then installed the free version from the market v3.6.6.3 and it shows external storage directory as /storage when my sd card is /sdcard/sdcard-disk0

/storage is internal memory.

Just a crazy thought. Could we create a symlink of the /data/app directory to a directory on the sd card?

Also could i be having problem since my sd card is formatted fat32?
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
correct, your sdcard is FAT32 and when androidOS tries to change ownership of the file, it fails, so no apps can be installed :-(

only a secondary partition on sdcard formatted as ext2 or so, will work, like on mobiles.
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
Thanks for the info. Is there a good tutorial on how to create the second partition formatted as ext2.
[A7 General] rspray:
Has anyone tried the ported version of the Galaxy Tab email? I'm not to the point that I can tinker yet, I still have to finish putting Dexter's ROM on first.
[A7 General] pirohmaniac:
Speaking of tinkering...

I have a USB A to A cable from an old external hard drive and I plugged my A7 into my computer to see what happens when USb debugging is turned on. Nothing happens until you reboot the tablet (mine was plugged in while it started) and then it sees it's plugged into USB but thats it.

When you plug the A7 into USB, reboot to recovery, then select the reboot option, a "harmony" device shows up for about half a second.

If you pull the back cover off your A7, you will notice a small "zif" (ribbon cable) connector with 4 leads. Another USB port maybe?

The hardware for the 3G is not there. In it's place is a rubber rectangle that stops you inserting a sim card. There is space for a mini-pci card and an extra antenna as well but no slot was soldered onto the board.

And for those wondering about the storage space, the directory structure is messed. When android is running, the internal memory is listed as "/sdcard" and as "/storage" and everything will tell you the internal free space is the sdcard free space. The actual sd card is at "/sdcard/sdcard-disk0" and "/storage/sdcard-disk0" unless you are in recovery where it sees the sdcard as "/sdcard." The app on the market "diskusage" lets you select external storage which is the sdcard.

Hope this helps somebody hack this so we can put cyanogenmod on it.
[A7 General] hashbrown:
Did you happen to see the internal sd card? Im hoping to eventually put a larger size inside and use a custom rom w/. something like 32gb and never worry about "not enough disk space!"
[A7 General] alynch75:
Can we please get a dedicated forum for our Elocity A7

Has anyone figured out how to remove that rubber or plastic thing that is blocking the sim card slot. Also has anyone got photos of the device taken apart so we can see what's inside or if you tell me how to open it up. I will crack mine open and do a full video review of the guts of this thing

Thanks for all who tried to help with my problem being locked down.

my laptop was infected and i was trying to use my wifes apple to copy files to the sd card with no luck.

I since reformated and reinstalled window on my computer. Then I was able to reformat sd card and copy the original elocity update.

success it rebooted and installed update. I am back to the start point with everything working.

I will try to install the modified updates when I have more time.

again thanks to all who assisted!:)
