Recently bought one of these, already own a samsung galaxy phone with android. When I got it, it had an app already installed called system update, I ran this and updated the machine. it now stands at
model number...deb
firmware...2.1 update 1
kernel version...2.6.32.9
build number...deb-r2.1.1561
not sure what these were before i ran the update, i just thought it would run better if it had the latest updates installed.
the problem i am having is that everything seems to work ok, but i am unable to play any car or steering related games on it. i went onto the android market and downloaded raging thunder lite, which i have installed on my galaxy phone, but when the game starts the car steers itself to the left and you have to literally turn the tablet 360 degrees to get a slight response from it. the orientation works ok on the menu screens and in the market app as it turns itself right as you rotate the tablet. its just the gaming side that i am struggling with.
is it the firmware update that has caused this as this is what the seller is trying to say, if so is there any way of uninstalling the update.
i have tried factory reset through settings, privacy and factory data reset but htis doesnt seen to have done anything.
Any help would be most welcomed...

I just bought an Ainol Novo7 Tornados but the wifi reception is terrible, I've read that for other novo7 tablets it would help to change to a previous version but I can't find instructions on how to do this on a tornados, I can only find information about the flame, advanced, etc.
Does anyone know what to do?

I have an Ainol Novo 7 Aurora and I had several problems with the original ROM. I rooted and flashed a custom rom named Feiyu. Everything is working perfectly now and at last, I can enjoy my tablet.
Seriously, the original Ainol rom is rubbish... you should try that rom out.

thanks alot! do you also happen to know where I can find a good guide to rooting and flashing? I can only find guides for other novo7 editions, or is it all done in the same way?
Hi Jimjim,
How to upgrade:
A bit late and you may have figured it out by now, but you just put the upgrade or feiyu mod on your external sd card. Boot the tablet by holding down the Vol down button and the power button. With the mod, you go through the menu (pretty simple to navigate, vol up and down for scrolling and home button for enter) and do an 'update from sd card' and navigate to the feiyu zip. With the firmware upgrades, it looks as if they get installed automatically if you put them in root (of sd card) but I wasn't sure so I still did the 'update from sd card' for them too.
My firmware that came with the tablet looked like "05/30" ie 30th may but I am not sure. I had intermittent wifi trouble too. I didn't go down in the firmware, I went up, bigger is better...supposedly.
The best spot to download the LATEST firmware (0619) that i have found is: spemall (google spemall tonrados firmware, not allowed to link it)
They also have the Feiyu mod.
Full instructions are on that page, further down, but I found all that fairly confusing and just winged it. It's not hard.
My personal/noob/non-l33t [email protected] experience was:
Stock/already installed - 30th May Firmware (I think)
Upgraded to 0601 Firmware
Touch screen was slow, whole thing very laggy (worse than what I had before) no wifi fix.
Upgraded to feiyu mod (based on 0526)
Lost the lag, wifi appearred fixed however leaving the screen on for more than 10 mins and the touchscreen would start clicking things by itself, I just sat there watching it for a while as it clicked widgets, emails etc. I had to stop it because the constant clicks were going to end up deleting emails or something.
Then I upgraded to the 0619 firmware.
Fixed all problems however I lost Google Play. I think this happened due to going from feiyu mod back to stock. Lots of apps were missing that used to be standard so I would recommend skipping the feiyu mod. I got the Play store back with Titanium and after a bit of stuffing around all is good again (Play store required clearing cache etc). The only bug that annoys me now (and I'm not sure if this happened in the previous versions) is that the touch screen is sometimes unresponsive on wakeup, mostly happens if I turn off the screen for more than a minute, with a game open.
Obviously the Tornados is not an $800 tablet however for the $115 I paid for it I am pretty happy now.
Hope that gives you a bit of direction on the upgrades.
OK so a bit further on in time and my tablet got insanely slow. I don't think I put enough junk on it to slow it right down, it got to the point where there would be as much as a 2 second delay between when I pressed the screen and when it registered.
I did a Titanium backup of all my apps and re-flashed the feiyu mod based on 0526 firmware, but the weird touchscreen issue returned, it would just start registering touches that never happened. Sooo I have flashed to the 0601 firmware and it is working, but I have once again lost my Google Play Store, I have tried restoring it from Titanium, and I have downloaded the apk, still no go. It is there now but it just crashes on opening. :crying:
On the plus side the 0601 firmware has returned the snappy, responsive speed but without google apps I am pretty limited. Most of the apps I need are installed from Titanium so it will get me by while I figure out the Play Store problem.
As they say, if it aint broke you haven't tweaked it enough yet.
hy guys. today i tried to install NBA2k14 on my s2 plus. as the install took a longer time then i was used to, i switched off the phone while the instalation of the game was still running. when i turned on the phone the samsung logo was a longer time on the screen and after that the android update screen appeared, in the same way when you upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 without wipe. some applications were updated and after that the phone was ok. so, my question is: why the phone updated some applications? i just turned the phone off while instalation of NBA2K14 was still in progress.
PS: sorry for the long post. i hope i made myself clear about the problem. and ayway, the game didn't run at all even if at the second try the instalation completed succesfully.
I do not know why it updated. But maybe you had downloaded an available update earlier. That can be a reason to it. And now this game. It's basketball right? I have no idea but it seen to be a big game like FIFA or NHL. Did you buy it or download free from a random website?

Hey Guys -
I hope this is the correct forum to post this in - its the closest I could find...
After owning an Nvidia Shield (now "Portable") and loving it, I went ahead and purchased an Nvidia Tablet which came in 3-4 days ago. It's great except for that without the Controller (which is on Backorder ), you really can't do anything a standard tablet doesn't do.
Once updated, I rooted it and proceeded to install all the tools and apps I use. One thing I had always wanted to try out was the Modded Google Play. I saw that it had an installer so installed it and applied the modded version. Once back up, I had some difficulty with stability so went back to the original version installed (4.8.20.)
Since then, sometimes when I boot up, WiFi doesn't work and is disabled. I'm not saying I can't connect, but that it's in the "Off" position and greyed out to where I cannot turn it on! After a 2nd reboot, it would work again.
Yesterday, I rebooted and it was disabled again. This time, though, no matter how many times I restarted, it was still disabled!! I tried uninstalling / reinstalling Google Play a few more times as well as a few other reboots with no luck.
I will also say that I tried one more thing which may be the cause. I tried out Freedom to check it out, but it crashed when opening plus I found out it takes away functionality so uninstalled it. After uninstall, I found out the hard way that I had to rename my hosts file to get online working. At that point, though, WiFi would at least be enabled.
Any suggestions for what I can do? If I need to restore to OEM, I will - I just need to know the correct process as I am rooted. I'm on build KOT49H.20258_426.6902.
Thanks!
I had this happen when I first booted mine up. Then again when I unlocked the bootloader. I didn't do anything other then keep trying and it came on. It hasn't done it since.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up just performing a full reset and starting from scratch. At least I know what I want installed on it, now. That resolved the issue and it retained the root.
Thanks Guys
I was really worried about it, I chatted with nvidia support and they said to return it to the store. For whatever reason it started working, and hasn't done it since. I've seen a couple posts on it, so it might be a software bug.

Hi folks,
What is a good diagnostic software package I can run to see if I have a memory or other hardware problem?
My Tab 2 10.1 p5113 has been glitchy for more than six months. I initially blamed it on the horrible software update late last year, but even after taking the subsequent update (MK3) this thing still has force closes all over the place and reboots often. My other identical 5113 has been rock steady since the MK3 update.
I've wiped the tab, installed several different custom ROMs. OMNIROM was much less glitchy, but it still would die after a while and reboot. I would also see some graphic artifacts on the screen, sort of in a line from left side about mid-way down the screen. This persisted over a few different roms I've tried, coming and going.
Eventually I wiped everything and did an Odin-to-stock MK3. The tab is still unstable, even before installing any non stock apps. IT rebooted while doing its initial setup (right after entering Google account), then again during the first app update once playstore realized it was a year out of date for the apps.
If it were a PC, I would be running memtest and other utilities to troubleshoot memory and "hard drive" communications.
What's the best thing to try here? I'm thinking to sell it on the Swappa Boneyard, but interested to do full diagnostics first...

My old faithful Archos 101 has serious problems and just bought Ramos i9s -> http://www.ramos-tablet.com/ramos-i...35f-quad-core-android-4-4-2gb-32gb-white.html
My version has 16GB memory and no 3G modem/sim-card socket.
Tried to find any info about this from xda, but not a single message found.. did i just order crap? :cyclops:
wow.. this must be rare tablet :laugh:
Not rare at all
Great tablet -heavy, but very classy design. It's a bit like a 9" iPhone 4s. Speedy intel chip. I have both the i9, i7, and i10 Pro. The last one is dual boot Android / Win 8.1.
Yep, this is heavy.. but I like heavy, better than feather-like
AnTuTu Benchmark scored 31472 and games looks awesome.
My first delivered tablet crashes after couple hours of use, maybe display cable disconnected or something.. because screen just went black and resetting/rebooting didn't never show anything else than backlight in screen. Got replacement unit next day and this one works fine.
There is one update from manufacturer downloaded, but previous unit crashed and that update might caused that also.. so waiting if others have problems with that update, before trying to install it again.
I have tried to find updates and root for this tablet, but seems there is nothing for this.
Manufacturer provides only chinese download page at http://ramos.com.cn/Download_list/List
I have tried to download from there, but after over 20 re-downloads.. all files seems to be broken and unusable.
Most likely my last china-cheap tablet ever. :/
Kingo ROOT works for root and is very straight forward. As far as updates go, I have not had any luck on that either.

Was able to find firmware download at Ramos site but was not able to download. When I click on download button it takes me to another page which tells me all about the firmware and how to install but does not give me a download option. The file is [i9s] Blue Devils i9s Le Frog OS stable version of firmware. Have any clues as to how to download this file? Part of the instructions is to install, ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.43.exe. Do you know where I might get this file?

Just downloaded app, didn't read any intructions.. just installed app and hit Root-button, after some waiting got error message and rooting failed.
That Kingo Root needs windows application first.. right? and connecting to Ramos via usb-cable.. right?
I don't actually see any need for rooting this and after that, none of manufacturer upgrades probaply don't work here.. but.. it's hard to test, because they dont distribute upgrades. lol
Great device, How about battery life?
Thus far, the battery life has been very good.
New google Photo app crashes.
Somehow it almost starts if disconnected from internet, but asks google credentials and don't accept my correct account username and password.
If starting app when connected to internet.. Photo app crashes right after spinning Google logo.
