Hi,
I've recently purchased the above however it doesn't seem to support a usb dongle. Is there additional software to support or modify the settings, plus I can't download apps from the android market or the apps crash everytime I try to install . I heard that a firmware upgrade is available but not sure where to get this from.
Any advice would be useful

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to develop an Android application in order to enable bluetooth tethering between two android phones without the need of root permissions.
I found in the market PdaNet as example..
How is it possible to create such an application?
Are there some API already present?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm not really sure that there's an API for that, but based on the much discussion about bluetooth tethering between two android devices, I suppose the answer is no.
if you get to a beta test fase (even alpha), count me in.
I have:
- Samsung Galaxy TAB 7.0 plus (GT-P6210) with original 3.2 kernel;
- LG Optimus One (P500H) with official 2.3.3 version.
both are rooted, by the way.
If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.
Hello folks,
I am fairly new to the Android OS so please be gentle
I took the plunge and finally got a smart TV from Haier which came with the 2.3.4 Android system. All is fine an cherry in 2.3.4 town as of now (apart from its horribly looking user interface design). But was wondering if i could install the 4.0 update ?
Isnt the android system like any other where you have one default version of the OS that comes from google and then there are variants from the open-source community ? If so then which is the best stable version and where can i find it.
Installation of the 2.3.4 OS is on an MMC that i copied from the technicians that came home to fix the TV so i am fine with a backup and the procedure for the install from an MMC. But i assume that if i download the OS from the internet then the procedure will be a bit different ?
I'll update more of the details (Kernel version etc) when i get home. All this because the manufacture - Haier - does not provide updates online or on its website or anywhere on the web. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

If you have the latest firmware to upgrade , please share it with me or else please share the OS back up what you have as I don't even have it
please help me

I have a zte open c from eBay , U.S. model. It shipped with stock comebuy ffos 1.3 , I didn't like the ffos software so I updated to the comebuy kitkat rom which disappointedly did not have any Google services installed for whatever reason still baffles me. I tried for weeks to figure this thing out, not being experienced in programming does not help. I noticed the android kitkat ran much smother on the device, however without the Google apps it seemed quite useless to me so I went back to the ffos rom, the apps from market place in comparison to the android apps are like going from an xbox 360 to a sega genesis, android being the (xbox 360) of course. A few days ago I came across the zte upgrade tool and updated with the ffos us eBay rom with root. Now I cannot update OTA from phone nor can I update back to kitkat version nor any others, I get signature failed errors. I am not a programmer so if some one can explain how to fix this with detailed steps I would really appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is a thread you could ask for help in,
> Firefox OS > Firefox OS General > AOSP 4.4.2 for the ZTE Open C
Good luck!
Hi, I got myself a smart projector running on Android. Unfortunetely the deveopers installed a really old version and it seems there is no way to update them. When trying to add an account to the system or let alone update the system tells me that it can not communicate with the google servers. So, I am planning to install a new Android version on the smart projector.
Can anyone point me towards a good resource (on the net) that tells me what information I need to have, which files from the current installation I need to keep (i.e. drivers) before installing whoch ROM?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds familiar - having the same problem: My Philips Picopix 4935 is a splendid device but its Android 4 isn't much fun (especially with newer audio/video-formats).
What model do you have?
