Another Zpad clone?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/27/onkyo-blesses-10-1-inch-ta117-android-tablet-with-nvidias-tegra/
Just saw this article on Engadget about the Onkyo 10.1 Tegra 250 tab... looks like another Zpad clone!

YES! I even posted a comment on the site cause I noticed all the ports/vents are in the same exact places. Maybe the screen will be better?

I was here to post that too. Malta is really doing well selling these to everyone under the sun, great for us . I see that it says HDMI, I wonder if they mean through a dock or if this is an actual variant. If so a different screen is possible, good news for those who want to swap.

Is this the same company that make audio/video components?

I need your advice about transformer......

Hi everyone
How Are You!
I hope u r good.
I'm abt to buy a new tablet ( my 1st one ) and i'm little bet confused between transformer 3G ( on top of the list )and Galaxy tab 3G( 10.1 or 8.9 doesn't matter ).
I need your advice abt which to buy.
Does tf 3g has a root?
Do the available roms work on tf 3g?
Does it support USB, External HDD ?
Transformer owners, Does Weight of tf make it difficult to hold on your hands ( Galaxy tab 2 is lighter )?
Thanks in advance
and Sorry for my English
Regards,
N

being a senior member...one would think u should know by now to search and read the forums...the answers are out there...

For TF101, it is not hard to handle by single hand, normal adult perspective.

I did search, Didn't find something that answers my questions. may be there's something out there but missed it, may the title i wrote is not right, i don't know. And that's bcuz this is the 1st time to write a thread in tf general forum.
So
I'm sorry if i did something wrong

Yes the Razorclaw exploit appears to work with the TF101G but it seems you must stay with stock kernals (no overclocking) at least for now. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of.

It may just be the 8.9 gtab, but its really laggy. the gtab 10.1 is also having lots of complaints about the screens (oil slicks/newtons rings). Really think samsung have over killed touchwizz on them aswell. Samsungs lack of support for the tabs is shocking and as a previous 7" gtp1000 owner its one of the main reasons i changed to the Tf.
I'd rather pay a small amount extra for a tf with the keyboard dock rather than the 2 gtabs - its much better value imo with excellent connectivity...........the Samsungs have nothing really, hence the units estate slimness.

Thanks friends, Really appreciate your help
I think TF is the best choice
but regarding the size, many reviews abt tf on youtube, i see it's bigger than enough.
Is it really that big or it seems to be big ( i mean in realty, it's different from that on youtube )

I dont think its that big at all. Size wise its the same as every other 10" tablet out there(acer, ipad 1, sammy, knockoffs).
Weight though...It's a tad on the heavier side of this class. The "sturdiness" more than makes up for that though. Dropped this thing numerous times on the same floors where ive seen ipads crack and an acer a500 dent and i have one TIMY ding about the size of a pencil tip.
I was worried about the honeycomb lag compared to ipads but after root and a new rom(revolver). Happy as can be. This thing is around me more than my Evo 3D
get the TF. You wont be disappointed.

Why is it that everyone thinks their very obvious Q&A post should be considered General. Does it mean that they misunderstand the definition of the word question?
I understand that there can be a language gap as many users on XDA (especially this forum) are not native-English speakers. But the rules are the rules - they say "SEARCH BEFORE POSTING." Pretty clear!

[Q] Buying a Docomo SH-01D

Need advise on getting a Docomo Sharp Aquos Sh-01D.
Does anyone have any experience in using a Docomo phone ? I'm have the following concern:
1. Will I be able to get any updates if I'm using the phone outside Japan when I'm using another Telco sim card ?
2. Generally does it comes with built-in English GUI support ?
3. Does it support other language like Chinese ? If not can I get any chinese pack installed ?
I'm attracted to the design of the phone and thus I have got someone who is traveling in Japan to buy on my behalf.
Need some advise; and this is going to be my first android device.

Docomo smartphone question
Hi hagenuk
1. Will I be able to get any updates if I'm using the phone outside Japan when I'm using another Telco sim card ?
For updates, you can use wifi connection. If you are using other telco sim it might be possible but I cannot you give any guarantee. With wifi it is most of the cases.
2. Generally does it comes with built-in English GUI support ? Yes Japanese Phones nowadays are with English GUI. Most of the time Japanese and English are available and other languages for some models like Xperia and galaxy's.
3. Does it support other language like Chinese ? If not can I get any chinese pack installed ? With Xperia models definitely yes but other models
most likely not. With android you can purchase language pack for Chinese. Because in my case with non Japanese Android phone, I can install Japanese language support like atok from market.

for Q3.
I've tried install morelocale
And it doesn't get full chinese GUI
But in some app which support chinese(eg.google+/gmail), they can display chinese.

Same with T01d, the settings is still in default language.

for Q1:
If it's a software update you must be in Japan with a ntt docomo sim card to update.
If it's a major update you must first have your phone updated to the latest version before you update using wifi or PC, i.e. software update (if ever exists) is a prerequisite of a major update. Changing proxy as on SH-12C might work but who knows.

hi i just got this device for my bro in Singapore
Its great and all the hardware features easily knocks competition out of the way. Its fully software unlock means any sim card can be used and data / 3G / WIFI / tethering all fully working. My bro using it in english not sure about Chinese.
Only disadvantages are I feel is during gaming the phone heats up (due to duo core and its amazingly thin design its brightness would be forced lowered to reduce temperature but other than that not problems. it will not force restart like what those folks are experiencing with the LG optimus 2x ) Battery drains super fast hahas (might want to consider the optional 2500mhz battery ). But I play Dead Space on it a graphics intensive game its awesome. Also I dun think anyone on xda is developing this device so it might be hard to get it rooted. But who cares!! its great!!!
PS: If its really hot you can do this watch the video

Yeah, it does heat up! It takes about 25 minutes playing a graphics intensive game (I was playing The Last Defender HD) for it to start getting very hot. And the game sometimes hangs or gets choppy.

Playing any game or browsing drains the battery amazingly quickly. I think it's more than 15% in 30 minutes.

Hi all!
How about changing proxy? I need to check if there's an update.
Phone reboots like 3-4 times a day and receives text messages late...
Maybe there's some updates that can fix it...

Kappa
PS: i've already tried to wipe it, but persist. I buyed it in Akihabara and made the unlock with a Japanese friend in a NTT Docomo shop...

Hey:
I can totally relate to you. I love the Docomo design.
However, IF you live anywhere besides Asia, I would actually not recommend purchasing it.
I lived in Beijing for a year and I bought the phone. I used it there for a few months then came back to the States. Back home in Colorado, the thing is just for looks. The phone would constantly lose connection; I had to keep CPR-ing it everytime it hit a place with low signal. A lot of the programs, cool quirks of the phone is disabled anywhere outside of Japan. You can basically just do the simple text and call. It may have improved now, but I wasn't even able to connect online with the phone.
Yes, you can get Chinese installed. My phone had Japanese, English, Trad. Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
If the price was not so high ($500+), I would've be more inclined to suggest you buy it.. I mean, their designs are gorgeous. BUT... Personal experience, my phone was priceeeey and I used it for no more than 3 months before I finally forfeited and used an ugly Tmobile phone.
Just my two cents; let me know what you decide either way!

please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such 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...

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] List of mobile phones that support 5Ghz WiFi

Hi,
I been looking for a list of the latest devices that support the 5Ghz band . I've found an old list from 2012 but am struggling to find a compressive list. I was just hoping someone had a source or even a way i could quickly and easily get one together without going through every device on GSM Arena or PDADB as that would take.... forever.
Cheers in advance

No one at all.....
Looks like its that hard way or no way

My S3 LTE from 2012 does...

I found a list on the bottom of the page here - http://mostly-tech.com/tag/dual-band/ - and this article was written in Jan 2014
Besides that most places say that all newer phones these days have dual band.
Also, the 2nd last post here - http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1201813 - says that:
"'a' is always 5 ghz.
'b' and 'g' are always 2.4 ghz.
'n' is defined for both.
I've never seen anything that supports 'a' that doesn't support 'n' on 5 ghz, though they don't necessarily support all the 5 ghz channels. "
Not sure if that is correct or not but though I'd share what I found.

Thanks for that,
The first list you said is a copy of the original i found from 2011/2012 but as you said, Most phones do have it now. The problem i have is i'm doing all the latest phones (HTC,Samsung,Sony etc etc) and their radios (2G/3G/4G). It's quite a list already and this was just an extra element that would be nice to have added. GSM Arena helped the most as all i need search for is 'dual band' on each varient of each phone and that does the trick. A little laborious but i'm almost there now to be honest. Here is an example of a (VERY) small segment of what i have just showing the problem with having so many different variants of the same phone (Formatting isn't great as its from a excel document 500 rows and over 30 columns wide) just showing 2G, which is easy compared to 4G (FDD-LTE Vs TD-LTE & ALOT more radio frequencies) but its come together nicely, Even if it has taken a while to compile all the information into something manageable.
*FIrst Line is if its 5Ghz or not (i.e- V CDMA & V320e models DO NOT when the others do)*
5Ghz Wi-Fi Make Model 2G
850 900 1800 1900 CDMA
Y HTC One SV C525e Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One T-Mobile Y Y Y Y N
N HTC One V CDMA N N N N Y (800/1900)
N HTC One V T320e Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One VX Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One X LTE / One X Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One X S720e Y Y Y Y N
I think its safe to safe 4G is a cluster F**K when it comes to the radios in phones! Chuck CDMA & TD-SCDMA in there for good measure and it's all a....... mess if im honest. Still, GOt there in the end

Yeah you're right, its insane now with so many different specs! This is a hard, but great project you are on. If I ever come across any more info on this I will send it your way. If you can, then please do share the list on xda once it is complete! Good luck!

Cheers for the support. I'm actually working on it for a Mobile phone company in the UK so releasing the information is really unlikely as i'm doing it more as a tool for us to use. Releasing it in the end will give others the advantage that we currently have over all other places in the UK and worldwide TBH.
I believe that all information should be free and out in the wild but unfortunately what i think doesn't matter when it comes to things like this. If we want to carry on being on the bleeding edge we have to do a lot of hard work like this to keep the competitive edge.
If t ever does come to be that i can release the information, Be sure it will be here. THe XDA Developers conference was pretty good in London the other week also and had a good time there. THinking may go next year too hoping it will be in europe somewhere
Thanks for the help

I'm familiar with this issue, as I've got a lot of what you need but can't share it without generously pissing of Deutsche Telekom(T-Mobile) and Samsung.
Truthfully I never saw how such a document of already freely existing information could be instrumental in having an edge over the competition. It's more a case of 'THAT'S MINE!' from the boys in charge. But I digress, nothing we can do about it.
All I can add is that pretty much all high-end Samsung phones from the S3 onward support 5Ghz. (barring a few possible market-based exceptions.)
A, N and AC protocols are all 5Ghz-capable.

TBH, the company i work for does work for everyone, We just do things in a 'grey' manner. We have very good R&D and Reverse Engineering team and this list just makes it easier for us to quickly find answers for our customers. We also do laptops and are heavily involved in BTC mining with Cointerra & KnC Devices. Cointerra's and the latest KnC stuff is SHOCKING though, Life support from day 1 and we suspect that the KnC Titan as a problem with the actual Chip :/ We plan to put them in Mineral oil and cool them that way. SHould be fun
TBH, its an awesome company to work for.

Mmm, up to a point - 11a and 11ac are 5GHz by definition. 11n is not a frequency spec though, so you have quite a lot of 2.4GHz-only access points around that are n-compliant. Lots of phones are b/g/n for example.

I'm looking for information on this too, particularly for the off-brand Androids you'll see on eBay etc. Most spec sheets merely say b/g/n, in fact it's rare to find one that mentions 11a.
Yet of the half-dozen b/g/n phones I've bought in recent years, two supported 11a even though it was not on their spec sheets. (They were the ThL 2015 and ThL 5000.)
