Article says this one has an HDMI out port.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyTrigger:
Finally :)

It looks great and for that price (about 400 euro) you can have also 1 ghz Tegra 2 and 1 gb ram ... i'm going to have a look at it just now!!!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyTrigger:
You're right man, but HDMI port is on the optional docking station that has also 2 x usb ports plus a headphones jack :)

Here we go!!!!! Checked website info with my local store, they're right, and the pad is great!!! Only one thing is not so good ... it has no xda rom on it ... for now ;)

cheers!!!

OK folks, I got this thing here at my desk ... so what could I do?

Have to tell yall, the UI and Olivettis version of Android 2.2 is absolutly horrible, its so slow and you cant customize it.

Olipad

Hi all,

I am a newbie and I come from Pesaro (Italy) and I am a geek girl :p

I bought Olipad two days ago.

My disappointment was not finding android market on it but "SlideMe", Olivetti's market for tablet.

I'm studying xda forum since 2 days for apply rom.

Now Olipad is in service because usb port doesn't works :mad:

I have to try it hard because I think that after rom coocked apply, warranty is void.

Someone would suggest me a good configuration? (link to this forum is gladly accepted).

I have a question: first of all I must root my Olipad, after that I can mount my system in r/w and go on with procedure for installing rom, isn't it?

Thank you all.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonePDA:
Hi,

I have an Olipad and I did a LOT of experiments with it. It is ALMOST as the GTAB, but for some design choices it is not easily upgradeable to other roms.

I have managed to flash quite some of the ones around for GTab, but at the very beginning I did something wrong (most probably I got fooled by the "harmony" nickname found inside) and I screwed up the boot process.

Before someone does a full NVFLASH backup of a "brand new" Olipad with no mods, I would suggest utmost care in flashing / update processes as the device could just loose BOOT capabilities and just power up in APX, forcing the owner to boot in a terhered way (launch a program that then allows the bootloader to boot)...

Regards

Simone

Hi,

I bought olipad few days ago, my first opinion is so so but I ask me and ask you is it possible to group the downloaded applications? Is it possible to augment the page like iphone style?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyTrigger:
?!?!?

Hi there,

so ... no more Olipad 100 here or Olipad in general?

I sold mine 2 month ago because:

1) Olivetti went for Olipad 2 after 2 months they launch Olipad ... no good for users ...

2) Olipad was really weird compared to other Asus/Motorola choice ...

Anyone tested Olipad 2?

Maybe this thread has to be closed ...

Cheers :)

ICS on Olipad110 Medion Lifetab?

Hi there,

recently got an Olipad110 for free from a supplier of mine. The hardware itself isn't bad at all, although not the most updated out there.

There's nothing more that the red "O" coming from Olivetti, in fact it is manifactured by Quanta in Taiwan and was originally sold by Medion in Australia with the name of "Lifetab P9514".

I have found a rooting procedure that works, allegedly: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/medio...on_lifetab_p9514_root_rooten.html#post1927511

And I have also discovered that not later than past week Medion has released an update to Android 4.0.4 for its product line, which is exactly the same as Olivetti's.

So my question is... if I bother to go trough the rather discouraging rooting deal, will there be a way to modify model's identifiers in order to get the Medion's ICS upgrade?

Cheers!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barban:
Hi, you can get the update here: cdce . ams002 . internap . com/tapntap/medion/Lifetab_p9514.20120719.2-ICS-signed-ota-update.zip

and apply it by following these steps:

1. Copy .zip to internal or external sdcard

2. Put the Olipad110 in Recovery mode (switch on the table by pressing Volume UP + POWER)

3. Select "Android System Recovery" option

4. Select "Apply update from external storage"

5. Select .zip file in the sdcard

I think there is a serious problem with my charging circuit on this phone. I have no idea if its hardware or software that is controlling the charging circuit but I can tell you that it literally takes forever to charge my phone via USB and this is unacceptable from a consumer standpoint.

I wanted to see how much current the phone was asking for and I was really surprised to see 96mA!!!

No wonder its charging so slow, something is really wrong here, and It doesnt look like a faulty battery. The phone should be asking for 10x this much current.

Can some people post how much current their phones are drawing from the usb port?

If you dont know how to do this, in "device manager" double click on the appropriate "usb root hub" that your phone is connected to and click on the "power" tab. Post results.
[Epic 4G General] PaganAng3l:
You are trying to charge your device on a pc correct?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
500mah is the max just about any phone will charge at from a usb port, at least without any modifications like fast charge drivers.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
USB current, for charging purposes, is and always will be low. Otherwise you would burn up your motherboard. Alternatively it would let the magic smoke out of your phone and it would quit working properly.

[Epic 4G General] PaganAng3l:
+1 to the two posts above me. I suggest getting a wall adapter for your usb and charging it there, you will get vastly superior charging times
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
USB current, for charging purposes, should be and always be 500mA. 96mA is not enough to charge one of these phones. You cannot burn up your mother board if the device calls for more than 500mA, as that is all that is available for each usb port.

Ive connected three of my old phones and an EVO and a mytouch Slide, they all ask for the maximum allowed current as they should. I do have a wall charger and it charges fine, Im trying to see if everyone else has the same USB charging problem as me, or if I have a broken phone, or if I just have some bad software on my phone.

Please if anyone can post results it will be helpful.
[Epic 4G General] PaganAng3l:
Hello again,

My G2 is asking for 500ma

[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
thanks but can you please post results for the an EPIC 4G phone?
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
Connected to a PC USB port, the Epic 4G will only draw 380ma. Via a wall charger is will only draw 600ma. Hence why charging on a PC is slower. Simple as that.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I also show exactly 96 mA, regardless of which USB port I am plugged into. Practically new motherboard, so I know the USB current isn't an issue. New Blackberry USB cable (far superior to stock Samsung cables).
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
IIRC, 500ma is the max draw per hub, not USB port. This is why people get powered add on hubs so they can have components that take more draw than a computer USB port will give.

Sent from Bonsai 6
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
500Ma is NOT the per 'hub' power supplied, 500Ma is the PER PORT current max. EACH port on the motherboard will supply up to 500Ma, trying to draw more will not work. It won't burn it out, it just won't supply any more than that. If you have 8 ports on your MOBO, you will get a total of 4A of current in total, not exceeding 500Ma per port. If you hookup an UNPOWERED hub to your mobo, the total draw still cannot exceed the 500Ma. If the hub is powered, it will provide 500Ma to each port on it, and draw virtually none from the MOBO.

This is why you see some external devices with dual USB cords, or a single with a Y. This is because it will combine the 500Ma from each port to power the device for up to 1A of current.

96Ma will not charge the phone, it's not even enough to power the phone while making a call.

How are you measuring your current draw? Try other USB devices. Wall charging takes between 2 and 3hrs to charge depending if the phone is on and its current draw for what it's doing.
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Pretty much every USB host device I've used can easily deliver 1A. Most new machines can deliver 2A (such as ASUS boards and Macs) over USB. The Epic still charges way too slowly even off a wall charger. It'd be nice if it drew 1A instead of ~600mA. Most other devices use much higher charge currents when plugged into AC.

As for the Epic's charge current, I think the USB driver on it just reports charge current incorrectly.
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
thanks to the two people, that haven't been derailing this thread into a "how usb ports work discussion".

if anyone wants to help instead of arguing over how usb ports work, it would be really helpful to know what rom and kernel you are using when you tested your epic 4g device.

Im especially interested to know this information about orbiting who is getting 380mA. Im also interested in how you measured measured the 600mA from the wall charger.

Its posted at the end of the OP how to see how much current your phone is asking for.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I think the charge controler on the Epic will alter the current draw depending on how close it is to fully charged . Once it gets above about 90% charge the current should taper off. this is to prolong the battery life.

The Normal charging times starting at about 30% is under 3 hours on a wall charger for me. I can go from about 70% to 100% om my laptop in about an hour.
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
I already know this, and its not what I asked for.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I appologize for wasting your time, but let me elaborate.

Right now my phone is at 89% charge, and right now the "Power Required" field in the USB root properties is showing 96 ma. I doubt that is an actual measured current, more likely it's what the port controller on the Epic reports as a minimum current required. What I can tell you is that even with that info, my phone charges fine. Seems unlikely that it's only supplying 96ma because I'd expect the phone must draw 40 ma or so just to idle.

What would be more useful would be an app on the phone that polled the charge controller to give us actual voltage and current data. I had one on my old TP2 that was great, but I don't know about one for Android.

Edit: in the time it took to type this reply the State of Charge went from 89 to 92%, yet the properties still shows 96 ma. I think the controller is getting way more than 96ma, so that number is likely bogus.

I guess that wasn't what you asked for either, but maybe it is stilll useful
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
no need to apologize, I could explain to you why what you think is "more likely" is actually less likely. but it would only further derail this thread. feel free to pm me if you are interested.

all im interested in is three things:

current asked for by phone from pc usb, rom version, and kernel version.

someone already reported 380mA. but i have no idea what software he is on.
[Epic 4G General] patrickoneal:
I'm running completely stock EB13. On my newer laptop with Windows 7 it shows 96mA in the device manager. On my ancient Dell PC at work running XP, it shows 96mA as well. In both cases I'm plugging the phone directly into a USB port, no external hubs.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I'm running the latest Syndicate 1.0.1 with their latest 1.0.3 kernel. My quote above is when I was running Syndicate 1.0.0 and kernel 1.0.1.

If I go back to stock for some reason, I'll post those numbers up too.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
The device manager only reports on the required power that the driver specifies. Check out CurrentWidget. It will show you what Android thinks the net positive current is.
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
That's what I'm using and from the wall I'm getting 285+/- ... I had a car charger that was giving me 176 and it was just enough to keep the phone at the same batt level with bt on and streaming pandora... so after a 2 hr drive id still have 5% left on my batt even though it was charging the whole time.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
I haven't had much luck with old car chargers. The one I got from Sprint for my wife's Pixi give's me the 286ma, but all my others only give the 176ma - even one I had that was rated at 1a. I have an old Sprint portable charger (external quick charge battery pack) that puts out 1a that I keep plugged in to my car. It does the job well. I'm too cheap to go spend the $25 to get a new one!
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Seems like the Hero had a kernel that would let us fast charge from USB.

I dug around the kernel for about 15 minutes while at lunch to see if I could figure out where its deciding how much current to pull. No Luck so far, but I'll dig some more later.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Using the current widget, I'm pulling ~165 mA from USB port on PC, and pulling ~270 mA plugged into the wall charger that came with the phone.
[Epic 4G General] Erica8123:
96mA with both my sons old Dell PC with XP and my brand new laptop w/ 7.

274mA plugged into the wall with stock charger

I am fully stock EB13.

This is all according to Current Widget

sent via XDA app on my now stock EPIC
[Epic 4G General] leftkidney:
I have noticed that it takes about 5h30m to charge it fully using the stock charger thats a 750ma charger

I use my palm pre charger which is a 1000ma charger - it only takes 2h30m to fully charge my phone

the iphone charger will also work

this wont cause any problems because the USB on a computer can put out 1000ma anyways or even more sometimes so these phones should have no problem handling up to 1500ma or maybe even 2000ma
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
What?!??!?!
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I think he means the adapter that you plug into the wall, which you'd then plug your USB cable into. I've done this on my girls iphone charger ;D
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I also wanted to weigh in and say that not all cables are created equally.

I know I had to abandon the charging cable that came with the Epic in favor of the one that came with the Moment. Both are USB micro cables but for some reason, the Moment puts out more power both through PC and wall adapter than the Epic's.

If I have all night, I don't mind using the stock cable, but when I need charging quicker, it's the other micro USBs I go for.
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
great information dwallersv ^^

Im curious to why you think the windows current display is wrong. It surely doesnt mean 96mA is being used by the phone, but it should mean, out of the 500mA available at that port/hub that is how much is being reserved for use with the phone.

I have a keyboard with usb a usb hub built in and it only supports 100mA per port. My phone works fine with it, but a mouse I have that uses 160mA will not work with it.

Either way I wanted to see if everyones epic was asking for 96ma or if i was having a isolated problem. Im hoping there is a way to improve usb charging as I have the same experience as you, if im using the phone it will never charge. Every other phone Ive ever owned has asked for 500mA and charged fine while using it on my pc/laptop.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadant2:
I have searched around the forum but cant find any recent discussions on what is the best HD2 rom, i recently used CoreDroidGBX and i find the battery life to be pretty good on that (Lasts me till end of day with light use (Light use being screen on about 2-3 hours out of that day) End of day being 7:00 Unplugged Low bat around 5-6:00) But i see about 300-500 mA useage when im actually doing anything on my phone(But just like 2-3mA when its off and i disable data)

So i keep experimenting with different roms and i am wondering what you guys have experienced the best battery life with on your HD2's.

Also i have to manually toggle off data, is there a app to auto do it, like automatically whenever the screen is turned off? I had my phone on battery nearly 24hours (Although i was on my laptop and only used it for like 20 mins of phone calls and a few texts) but still a real full day was awesome :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] D4rk50ul:
Coredroidgbx? There is a Coredroid series by Sergio and a hyperdroidgbx by Pongster. Both get rave reviews for battery. I run hyperdroid and I get 18 hours of normal use no problem. If you consider watching YouTube and flash video all day normal there is no rom that will last doing that.

Do you prefer a sense or a non sense build? GB or Froyo? CM7 or ASOP?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shhbz:
I would say u need to check some nand built on your own as different phone respond differently to rom built. hyperdroidgbx and rafroid hd 4 are good option to move ahead and check

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cubexe:
In my opinion the best battery life was in unofficial nightly CM7 by charsingh (1-3mA in standby). But due to some issues i had to switch to Typhoon CM, battery drain is notably higher (6-10mA standby) but for me it is the best ROM ever.

I think that the functionality of the ROM is litle bit more important than small diferences in battery drain.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pburstrom:
Motoman234's Moto-MyTouch4G v3.3

Nand build and the best I've tried so far. I can get 2 days with light use (text and moderate calls) and a full day with fairly heavy use ie: web for 1-3 hrs and 1-2 hrs of various games along with calls and texting. I call my family on the east coast frequently and a 2 1/2 hour call is not unusual, loose maybe 20 to 25percent on the call depending on my signal. Great rom, a chef that responds and helps, again nand build. totally functional for me no issues flashed 4 different phones to it so far! :D.

I as a rule, leave wifi on always and use bluetooth, location, and background data only as needed. Blue tooth and background data will suck the juice right out! Still, if I forget and leave those on I can still get a full 10 hr day out of a single charge, provided i dont spend hrs surfing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kupfel:
+1 for Cyanogen Mod 7. I tried a lot of DesHD builds but CM7 has the longest battery life by far for me. One charge lasts me about two days with light use. With all DesHD builds i never made it past 24 hours. Usually even less than that.

Furthermore CM7 is just beautiful, especially with cyanbreadX

i'm on rafdroid 4.0 and unplugged this morning at 8 am and the time now is 5:30 and i'm at 60% with moderate use and wifi off.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgwood12:
Can someone please help me. I just rooted the Samsung fascinate and had a problem with installing CWM. I flashed it via rom manager and it wouldnt let me do a nandroid so I then installed the CWM red via odin and was able to make my nandroid backup fine.

I wanted to theme the phone.apk gradient backgrounds and did so using ninjamorph. I put in my new background files and rebooted and everything was fine. The phone.apk would call out but when I would end a call it would force close. I decided I wanted to restore my backup so via rom manager I selected reboot into recovery. The phone rebooted and got stuck at the Samsung Logo screen and has been.

Ive pulled the battery and tried to boot again normall but it remains stuck at the logo. I let the phone sit for over 30 min and nothing happened. Am I bricked? If so, how do I fix the phone? I just need to get into recovery to restore my nandroid backup. Please someone help?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm2011:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but did you already try holding volume up and down after pulling the battery and holding power?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
If you are unable to get into recovery, then you will have to odin back to stock.

As stated above, holding vol up + vol down + power (Until you see the logo pop up) should take you there. If that doesn't work, Odin is now your new best friend.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
You Know all of those links are for Epic 4g right??

Fascinate doesn't like Rom Manager as well.

Just Odin back to Stock and work your way up.
