2 versions on the market?? - Touch Cruise General

Hi everyone...
I just picked up my second HTC Touch Cruise (a.k.a. p3650, Polaris)
[by the way, i have sold it already, no propositions please]
I may be silly here, but the S/N and P/N on the two packages differ:
S/N
orignal starts: HT803GE
new: HT804GE
ALSO
P/N
original: 99HDZ013-00
new: 99HDZo22-00
just noticed this too .....
by barcode on box:
original: 90H01163-00M Rev.A
new: 90H01163-05M Rev.A
that is all that i can tell is different from the outside... obviously i cannot open it as it does not belong to me....
could it be that one is a Nordic version, and the other a UK version? (i thought they would be the same one....)

i would imagine this means no one knows, if they are shipping an updated version or not already...
maybe we could start a thread with Part numbers and such (with revisions) to see what is out there

Version (s)
My electronic IMEI is different than that on the box it came in and that printed inside the battery compartment!!
Not the same thing I know but could be a cause for concern

Acer F1 faux pas

lol.
I just noticed this, if you connect your Acer S200 neoTouch (I have the German retail version), take a look at the notification you get when the system tries to identify the hardware:
Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor)

this is just reg entry.Can be editied, and though i have a prototype, i do not get this message
I also got the same meassege to, when i first connected my acer f1 to my computer.
interesting. I have a german device, but I now read that it is a grey import that was intended for the german speaking minority in China? Acer themselfs said that the German s200 will be available in December. Funky.

They got you. Why you are not in China? You should move asap there to have the appropriate customer service. You have a Chinese mobile which knows German !!!
LOL.

Mine used to do the same too : )
well, it was € 10,- cheaper than the UK device, expansys didn't state that it is a grey import. But that explains the cheapo Euro Charger. Most likely expansys threw the chinese charger in the bin and put in a generic HTC compatible charger.
anyhow, saved € 10,-, got a usable charger, and flashed hdublis WWE ROM anyways, so who cares *g*

[Q] Bricked SAWEE10

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I have a problem with my chinese tablet that I bought some months ago. First of all I've seen everywhere on the net and I've understood that people in some forums are more confused than me. Anyway these are the specifications of my tablet:
CPU: Infotm X210, 1 Ghz
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 4 GB
Battery: 6400 mha
1 SD slot, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI, 1 LAN etc.. The charger sayis 9V and the screen resolution should be 1024x600, but I'm not shure. On the box where it arrived it shows the writing 'Superpad with Google', and reports a model: CEMX210. The book of instructions provided with it's probably wrong because it shows the model: PC1002I and some pics of another model with 2 SD slots.
The firmware before installed had the following specifications:
Model number: SAWEE10
Android version: Android2.2_20110430
Build number: FRF85B
I've seen that also that also the carton where it arrived it's wrong because it shows again the damned 2 SD slots. So now formaly I don't know which model I have, I suppose it's a clone. The site where I bought it said it's a Jpad Flytouch 3.
Another thing: before doing some updates it didn't show a wrinting on the startup (except for the two main android ones). Now it shows: Infotmic 0.6.1.5(672), and I imagine that's not a good thing.
Can you help me recovering this bricked tablet ?

Welcome, the XDA community is about development. There are several other sites that might be able to specifically address your specific questions and issues.
Posting a message at one of the sites, noted below, more suited to user assistance will probably lead to a quicker resolution. Answers that may apply are already posted! If possible search first.
Your tablet is probably a Fake Flytouch 3 Guide: Superpad III, Jpad Sawee10 Beware.
Here are a couple of support sites with information related to your issue.

Need help to identify a chinese 7" tablet

Hi,
i would like some help to see if the device i have has any other custom firmware,
i have attached a few pics of the device.
the discription that was provided by the vendor is as following
7" TFT screen, A9 core 1.5ghz, 512 ram ddr3, 8gb internal memory, andoroid 4.0, has GPS, TF card support upto 16gb, VGA front camera.
NO bluethooth,
the model no. assigned by the manufacturer / vendor is ET-6018 , being sold on egmemory.com...
to be honest i knew that the tablet will be slow... but its so slow that even opening a single menu takes ages...
i cant return it as the vendor is being very A**holic...
i was wondering since i cant use it or return it... mite as well flash it with a custom rom.
please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such device.
many thanks
Try this link for more information possibly....I've been searching a while on your subject and it's extremely difficult to find an exact "common" name for your device

Some Info found
I managed to get a little further, and i hope the info helps? Im English but based in Aisa, and often have to source hard to find manufacturers. I couldnt read the model number in your last photo, but as it says on the back of the Tablet, it is made by a company called Easy Groups, who specifically manufacture Memory modules. The main website is egmemory.net
In the support section, they have manuals and firmware downloads, but i stopped there because i couldnt read the model number. The link to the support page is...... egmemory.net/download.php?lang=eng (add the 3 ww's in front)
The only ROMs i could see listed however, where Chinese ROMs but i would have thought there would be an English language option somewhere!
I hope this helps?

I also saw those firmware updates on that website and I clicked the one for the et-6018 and it took me to a dead page. The other links for the other models did the same
A little secret...;o)
If you do the non obvious and do a right click, then select open in new tab, it downloads the 'firmware' for the manual it opens a PDF in a new window.
Unfortunately the 'firmware' on offer is just a utility tool for upgrading and is 1MB in size called Phoenix Card and has a handful of DLL's with it. I did a little more digging and picked up hints to follow 2 models, CWM MK802 and CM10
I did find this though, i wonder if this would work, the author states its a slim custom ROM for the A9 but doesnt state its for any particular model...

lol....what tablet isn't made in China?
Sent from my rooted SCH-R880 POS
Made in China?
Those made in Taiwan perhaps??....
Seriously though, these little tablets are quite addictive to play with! When im not at home in the UK, im in Indonesia for most of the year, there is a local market that sells second hand stuff, like a flea market. I often find broken or used tablets for as little as $10 I have about 15 of them now. One i have hacked to the extreme hardware wise, inside i fitted a 4 port hub, a second camera facing forward, a wifi mouse and keyboard dongle, a broadband dongle and a second USB port on the side, maybe i should post this as an instructable? Another i have used the insides as a controller for an amateur radio transmitter.

[Q] apps incompatible only on one of two identical devices

For Christmas, I purchased two 7" Nextbook tablets. One went to my wife, and the other to my daughter. Google Play identifies both as "YIFANG NX007HD". My daughter got hers first. I quickly noticed a large number of apps show up as "incompatible with your device" on it. Common apps like Angry Birds, Wal-Mart, & Chrome. (Even though Chrome came installed on the device)
However, when we set up my wife's tablet, all these same apps show up as compatible, and install from Play just fine. I'm hoping to solve this mystery and hopefully get my daughter's tablet to work the same on the Play Store as my wife's. They are (or seem to be) identical after all, there must be a reason.
I don't know if the following has any bearing on the issue, but if so perhaps someone can tell me. We reside in the United States, but my daughter's google account uses an email address with the .in TLD. Her account also has no payment method set up.
If I had had more time with her, I would have liked to have swapped accounts on the two devices to determine for certain whether the issue was account related or device related. But I won't get a chance to troubleshoot until I see her again in the spring. Also, just to be clear, I don't need info on sideloading APKs. I'm just looking for reasons that only one of these two identical tablets would show so many "incompatible with your device" apps on the Play Store, while working fine on the second.

If you're willing to root, xposed has a module that removes that limitation. If not, I think it might be a software glitch. Bring it to the service centre to check it out.

Unfortunately the guys of Yifang / Nextbook / e-Fun are complete ass***holes.
They I've made a couple (or three?) identical devices, M7000 (silver back) / M7002 (black back) & M7000NBD (silver back), with complete different chips, two first driven by RK3066 (1.6Gz) and third one by AML8726-MXS (1.5Gz).
More than that in the site of Nextbook they promote some Nextbook Premium7HD (silver back) and they didn't mention speed processor or chip inside. This device are also branded as NX007HD & NX007HD8G.
From commercial point of view they just released the one they have in stock.
From user point of view a total mess!!! People is mounting Rockchip stuff in AMLogic devices and vice-verse.
Lots of users with their devices bricked... not all the users have the knowledge to notice the internal difference.
The worse part of it is that this device are cheap and really good.
I love Yifang devices... but IMHO this Chinese guys have gone too far doing this chitty tricks.

Nokia 1020 O2..Unbrand or not

I've always Jailbroken iPhones or put stock Android ROMs on phones with bloatware and advertorial crap.
I've bitten a bullet and bought the 64gb 1020 for the camera. As a photographer I've been pleasantly surprised - an improvement on the iPhone 5.
I'm not keen on Windows on a phone but I'm sure I'll get used to it. After all I use W8 & W7 elsewhere and am not a linux bigot just yet.
I deleted the O2 folders in the 1020 but there may be more to the debranding than this. I read that MS mandate an 'open phone' so that all branding can be removed.
Why should i debrand the 1020 further ? Will i end up in update hell ?
What are the advantages & disadvantages of new stock Nokia firmware
Advices please readers.
Thanks

If you debrand (this is that which I advice):
- The updates logically most quickly (the "most fast" circuit = directly OEM and not operator).
- No operator splashscreen.
- No parameters owner operator.
- Access to the VVM (if available according to different condition).
- Options/features no restricted.
- And certainly something else.

Thank you. I cannot find any O2 branding visible since I deleted the two Windows O2 Folders...Priority Moments and O2.
So no O2 splashscreen either.
I was more concerned about what I could not see, from O2, that might affect its use.
I installed an Australian unbranded ROM on my 64GB 1020 which started life locked to UK O2 and so far no problems.
