Hi I have the same brand but the 2013 model TD818ASD version. It runs on 2.3.5 just wondering if you had any further developments with upgrading ? By the way what Root did you use. Don't want to install the wrong version.

TD718A
Sorry for my late answer
Yes my tablet is rooted, used superoneclick, no problem
:good:

Thanks for that. I take it you haven't had any success in upgrading to ICS

No, I have searched in all the forums, Telechips.com has a new kernel 3.0.8 and source for ICE out on open source, but I'm not a programmer, so I do not know how to compile it. Have also tried all the other Chinese brands (Erisin and so on), which is the same type as ours, but no luck!

Just to ask, does your tablet randomly reboots?Even when its fully off

Hello
No, I have no problems, my tablet and main unit works perfectly. Have a little trouble getting a 4G dongle to work, possibly because I do not have a USB-OTG cable (Have ordered it!) so hopefully it will works too

I got the 3G dongle working, when I searched around most 4G ones don't say they are compatible with Android systems. Didn't want to risk it. I'm guessing my reboot problems are to do with O.S 2.3.5 since yours is the older stable one. By the way try update your IGO to the latest one. The one with the Stereo has old maps so needs updating.
If developers interested in cooking a Rom for this unit please let me know. Wouldn't mind paying to upgrade to ICS or Jellybean.

I`am in if you can proviede a update to ICE or jelly Bean, and I will ofcourse pay for it!!!

Hi
Which 3G modem are you using??, I do not assume that I get my 4G modem to work, I have tried with PPP Widget, and it finds the modem, but can complete setup
I have another problem my setting for mobile network can not be activated, it is not available as Wifi? what I mean is that I can not get in and ajust the APN settings, have you had any problems with that?

Mine is the Huawei WCDMA E1750 3G pretty much worked straight away no problems with APN settings, all you have to do is google your network provider APN Android settings you just enter it in, but if you can't even access the APN settings means your dongle isn't supported. You have to remember this is Gingerbread OS so might not be updated with 4G dongles.

Hi
Thanks for your help, my 4G modem is a Huawei E3276, this is the modem, that my provider use as standard equipment. I think I would go for the same modem as you use!!!
Basmand

Hello
Have you been upgraded to ICE?, I have searched but can`t find any updates. has solved my 3G dongle problem, it was my USB OTG cable.

Hi,
I have the Xtrons Td605a edition. I am checking the web if there is any costom rom for updating also.
Btw, my GPS program cannot see the GPS input even it is connected to the seattlelites. Did you guys encounter any problems like this?

Hi
I have a XTRONS TD718A, and use TOMTOM as GPS program. I have no problem connecting to the satellites!!! nor problems when I use Google Maps online.
As you can read in this thread and other threads, it`s difficult to find a new ROM to our system, XTRONS will not do anything to help, for them it is a clean business, where a update of android is a potential drop in sales.

I have no problems with the GPS locking on and working with Tomtom, IGO and Google maps. As basmand says updates is pretty much what you have. Unless someone can figure how to cook roms for our devices we pretty much have to use this. Any of you gone on xtrons forums you can see they won't support updates, even though there is a option in the menu to update through SD card or internal memory.

Hi
Has been on Xtrons forums and sent PM to Xtrons.com, just get the answer, that they do not support updates, as written by Kidd78 "Xtrons" is not an option!!!!!!!!!

Hey basmand is your 4G dongle showing 3G on the tablet or H or H+ ?? Can't seem to get H at all

Hi
SORRY my fault, I am not using my HUAWEI 3276 4G dongle for the present, have had trouble getting it to work, using an old 3G modem HUAWEI 1752, It only shows 3G, and my max download speed is approx. 7.5 MBPS. (tested when i am driving), but I'm working on getting my 4G dongle up and running, unfortunately I live in the countryside, where there not is a constant 4G coverage.

My device sees the GPS in Google Maps but it does not received the longitude and latitude in a special Navigation program for Cyprus ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyprusgiscenter.cyprusonroad&hl=en )
I go into the menu of the program and I go to its signal settings. In the radar thing, it shows all of the seattelites and connections, but the data never reaches the app. It is really frustrating...
GPS works in Google Maps and other programs but the navigation that comes with it does not have Cyprus on it, IGO I tried to download but it is not compatible, and google navigation is not in my country yet...
Xtrons must at least give us root access...

VPN's on Pivos ICS..
Bit of feed back for you on Openvpn for Android by Arne Schwabe
I am using TCP port 443.. Working fine.. streaming youtube now from behind GCFW.
What I found on connect was..
On Ethernet - It will connect, but then it will turn off the Ethernet connection so the connection drops..
Turn on Wifi, Open the Openvpn connection again and it connects, Ethernet connection also shows up for a bit..
Drops off.. but connection is kept on Wifi..
So by using DroidVpn or OpenVpn for Android, or Via a VPN'ed connection on a laptop/USB-doggle from a desktop via "Connectfiy" your users can be using the Xios ICS with VPN's as is..

Also as a note I am running Livewall papers in the background "Ocean HD" so this is taking up 15mb of Ram.. but I do shut down any Google Play Store and Google services so that they are not chewing the fat..

[Q] mock GPS on GPSless tablet

hello,
my company got us several cheap Genesis GT-8230 tablets ( Andoid 4.0.3
kernel 3.0.8+ build A802HW.A10AAAAAAZAXXXA.RB1.V106.20120804 ) tablets for use on testing and quality control. Those came without a GPS receiver. now they want us
to test a GPS enabled app. We tried to install Mock GPS on those
tablets, but it does not work. Afer downloading the APK we get a " X Applicatin
not installed error". Any hints on that?
thanks,
F

By the way,
we have the allow off market option on.

[Q] Have you used any Bluetooth 4.0 (aka Bluetooth Smart) supported devices?

Specifically for the HTC One S, i'm curious how our phones work with it. If you have, please let me know if you are using stock, CM, or any other ROMs. I'm looking to get maybe the pebble (not out yet) or fitbit. Thanks!
I'd like to know this too. Are there any ROMs out yet that enable Bluetooth 4.0 one the HTC One S?
It works from 4.0.3 version with open broadcom ble api which was here recently http_s://code.google.com/p/broadcom-ble but now it's deleted.
It needs a little patch to the library (does not work without). I have done some little tests last year but then put it out.
New rewritten api is here http_s://code.google.com/r/naranjomanuel-opensource-broadcom-ble/ but not tested.
Now I'm making an app to test things. I can connect to TI Keyfob with Keyfob demo firmware and read battery level and tx level and even get notifications when level changes. Have to add some quirks to make it work
And there is a proprietary HTC BLE SDK which you get after NDA. Not sure if it support this phone, but it's based on broadcom api.
As of 4.1.1 version phone can "see" discoverable ble devices in bluetooth settings, but can't do anything from there.
I'm actually looking for other phones with ble supported, chinese maybe. But I guess we should wait for 4.3 to spread around.
MaximusHD. But i dunno really if this works, since i can barely see any difference at all when i was on sense 4+/4.1.1 when it comes to speed on sharing files via bluetooth..
i am on Magio ROM 1.0.4. i want to pair my Heart Rate Monitor. I can see the device, but when i want to pair it, the message is, that the PIN is wrong. Shame...
Does Bluetooth 4.0 depend on the Android version (4.3 or higher) or on the kernel version? From Linux I know that drivers can be included in ther kernel or as separate modules.
Is there any custom ROM with 4.3+ AND Sense?
Edit: My co-worker has CM 11 installed and his Runtastic BT 4.0 HRM belt works fine.
anyone know that fitbit work and sync with one s (maximus hd rom)?

Polarodi PMID705GTVGO GPS not working

Hello everyone, I have a polaroid PMID705GTVGO 7" tablet (Jet 705), it says it has GPS but I cant seem to get fix.
I have two identical tablets bought on Mexico and in both tablets I can't get gps fix. The oficial web page doesn't list GPS as a feature, but the official manual does and I see the options on it's OS (stock Android 4.2.2 non-rooted)
Any ideas on what's going on would be appreciated

A-MEDIA Auto (1024x600 S), 1GB Ram, Cortex A9 extremely slow : what ROM can I use?

Hi, i've an extremely slow A-MEDIA Auto (1024x600 S), 1GB Ram, Cortex A9 in my Mercedes..i can't even use Spotify or Amazon Music...too slow to load.
Android version is something like 5.1. Is there a very light rom to use to upgrade my android head unit?
I don't want to brick it....My only need is to use Spotify and keep the functionality of the rear cam. Thanks a lot.

This might be what your looking for, I would look into getting Hal9k ROM instead of Malaysk roms due to the use of xposed which will probably slow it down again. Hal9k still has customization's over the stock but doesnt have xposed.

you are also running on an old MCU version, today i have updated mine from MTCD_KSP v2.09_1 to MTCE_KSP v2.89_c1 and at first glance it seems to improve performance.
Hi! I'm here again....I didn't upgrade because I see that the app A2DP app (already installed in my a media car audio) solves my problem in a fast and fantastic way : I installed Amazon Music in my cell, connected via bluetooth with the MTCD unit and then i can play all the song I want using the cell and listening with my car sound systems. Everything is fast and i can then bypass the slow mtcd problem.

Hi. I just read your post. I have the same device here. It's extremely slow. I got to my car, engine is on and until I get GoogleMaps working it takes almost forever. Delays and all these. Until I'm able to input street's name or whatever.
Did you solve the problem? I'm thinking how exactly I could install new ROM or whatever on this device. I'm not an expert, far away from it. Is there a really good tutorial (video maybe) how to install something new (when the device is already in the car) for noobs like me?
I'd appreciate it very much! Thanks and peace!
Just a short question about this unit: Does anybody kno the selling name of the radio? Starts with ES

A-Media Auto (1024x600)
Hi I have a A-media Auto (1040x60) with a 40gb attached. I’ve plugged in a 120gb SDD & it doesn’t automatically pick it up like the 40gb. You have to manually find the storage & click on what you want & it doesn’t pick up where you left off if you turn off the ignition. Frustrating, any help would be grateful.
Hello guys
Does anybody know if on the head unit A-MEDIA AUTO 1024x600 Android version 6.0.1 - MTVF-KGL-V2.6.0.1
It is possible to fit the reversing camera and which model could be suitable?
I have bought WiFi between the camera and the front unit but I don’t know if I can fit and in case which connector to plug?
Thanks a lot.
