Very low cost tablet

Hi all, i'd like to buy a chinese android based tablet (price should be around 100€), i'd like to ask you which one do you suggest to buy.
I've seen one from my friend and i liked it, i didn't remember the model but i tought that the android market was not the official one, can it be? If so, there's any way i can install it? Or i can install other apps without the market?
Another question, are these upgradable? I thought that the Android inside the tablet was pretty old (1.6 maybe), this was not a problem in everyday use, but i'm a maniac and i like to have everything up to date, if i can.
Please let me know
Just bought the TechPad Android Tablet
I guess we'll see what can be done with these. I don't need an ereader so I am looking for this to be an extension of my android phone, GPS - browser - etc. I should receive it by the 9-25-10
It has OS 1.6 Android 7 Inch Tablet with a 800MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, 1Gb ROM, WiFi, and the Google Android Marketplace.

Look at this: http://www.slatedroid.com/
There are many store where you can buy that table you can do your own research on the web so you can select the right store that will meet your budget.
@superchaos
so did you get the 7 inch techpad unit yet? if so how is it?
I did.
It is not replacing my phone, I seem to be able to see a lot of the apps in the market but I am unable to download them. It just gets stuck at the starting download screen. Wifi connects really well and has a great connection.
Some apps just won't install like google earth, Google sky map, Swype doesn't recognize the device, etc.
The touch screen is kind of weak and you really have to press to get it to get the typing to work. The system files are accessible and there is a "su" folder. I am not real good at getting into anything. It looks to me like it is rooted but I have not figured out how to get into a recovery mode.
I have tried to connect it to the SDK from google and it does not recognize the device. If anyone has any ideas, I am open to suggestions.
Market issue is likely just Google servers. Happens all the time.
You need to test root by running an app like titanium backup which needs root, and see if it works.
For recovery, you would only get a stock one, and I doubt you will get a custom one online if the device is not common.
Is USB debugging enabled for adb, and have you looked for it in device manager to see its hardware id and check if the id is listed in the adb driver list?
@superchaos
judging from the price the screen probably is not capacitive type but resistive. how's the battery holding? how long does it last before you have to recharge? does it look like it's upgradable to android 2.2?
thanks.

It doesn't seem to be rooted. To get the adb shell to recognize the device and to get Dalvik Debug Monitor to see the device, I followed the instructions here rbgrn.net/content/399-how-to-get-archos-5-internet-tablet-adb-working-on-x64-windows
I used HiDROID instead of Archos5 and the device id is USB\VID_18D1&PID_0002&MI_01
I run winXP not win7 and this worked. Screen capture works too. The programs I installed that require root just force close.

The screen could be a lot better. It is like there is a film on top of the screen for touch capabilities. The battery holds really well unless you are watching videos. 4-5 hours of constant use. You can leave it plugged in too. I am hoping it is upgradeable. The OS is built for a phone.
How do I get a list of hardware devices in the phone? Not just the specs on the pamphlet but actual hardware names/mfg's?

Viewsonic VPAD 10 and Market

Hi all,
I have just got my Viewsonic VPAD 10 and was a bit sad when I saw that market wasn't on.
So anyone fixed market on a VPAD 10? Can it be done in the same way as in the G-Tablets?
/M
Is that the one that dual boots windows and android 1.6?
According to the Viewsonic products page it is... 1.66GHz Atom, dual boots Windows 7 & Android 1.6...
be interesting to hear batt runtime and quadrant score...
As to market, I suppose that you could use adb push to get the market app on there and then try the market "fix" in the dev forum... worth a shot anyways...
(It's the one that Sears initially mis-labelled the gTab as...)
As we tried it for a couple of days now it seems like it runs for aprox 5-6 hours on WiFi
Haven't tried with the 3g yet but it will come
Is it the "Full market (improved market fix) on G Tablet", "The Viewsonic G Tablet Super Thread (w/Market, Gmail, and Maps!)" or which thread do you mean
/M
I'd try starting out with low expectations, and go with "The Viewsonic G Tablet Super Thread (w/Market, Gmail, and Maps!)"...
what it essentially entails is getting market installed, running it(setup), try to download(IIRC), the back to home...
at that point you can try the Titanium Backup method(never worked properly for me as I had to do what follows) or
1. go into setting and find the section that lists running apps
2. find market, clear data/cache, force close(quit) it
3. find Google Services Framework, clear data/cache, force close it
4. run market
5. get error -> reboot
6. no error, back through 1-5 again
When it reboots IF it works, you should see more apps in market, but you're not going to see all of them as the VPAD 10 is running a fairly old version of Android as it's the last one to support x86 completely...
Now IF ALL of that works and gets you market, you COULD try to do the extended market "fix" to see if it lets you see any additional apps...
(I picked up the above steps by researching the thread from which the "fix" originated for a different device and version of Android(2.0 IIRC), and figured where it fit into the TapnTapped version of 2.2 on the gTab... )
Also you need to be aware that the VAST majority of Android devices are ARM based, and if an app uses "native" code, it's just not going to work on that VPAD since it's x86... it's the downside of that particular tablet for Android, but OTOH you can just run Windows and likely have an easier time getting a linux distro on it eventually...
[EDIT]
Caveat: this method may not even work for 1.6, and some of the apps/services listed may have different names in listings under 1.6, so you MAY end up having to look on another forum for how other 1.6 devices gained market access... e.g. MANY of the Via WM8505 based tablets ran 1.6, e.g. aPad (IIRC) thei rmethod fo rmarket access may work if the above doesn't or has enough differencces...
[/EDIT]
Has anyone figured out how to do it yet? I spend most of my time in windows 7 now cause the android build feels so crippled.

[Q] Collaboration to Port android to wm8650

Good Day Everyone,
I have been searching the forums for a few days and installed a number of apk's all of which don't seem to work.
There seems to be so many posts on Chinese tablets and getting Android Market to work. And a number of work arounds that I have tried have so far been unsuccessful. Many of us have bought the WM8650 models (VIA8650,High-performance 800MHZ CPU+300MHZ).
So my question is can't we collaborate as a group who own these tablets to donate an amount (say $10 or $20 each) to the developer that ports an Android version which runs all the Google apps and Market?
That way we won't have to look for workarounds, and those who purchase after us will have a much easier upgrade path.

I have the wm8650 and can't access to the android market, even though there is an icon for it. I get an error that says, "Authentication error. Please check your account/password". Have you figured out the problem yet?
Not yet
Hi guytimes.
The Android Market apk that I loaded won't open, however it seems the pre-loaded Market app on the device only shows applications from China(did not return any results when I searched for Angry Birds). The icons look similar but I'm not sure if the pre-loaded app goes to the Official Android Market place.(If someone knows, please could you correct me?).
In the interim, to at least to get some apps loaded, I managed to get the application from Slideme ( an Android application website) which works well. It does not have all the apps on the official Market but it will let you download and install. I am still trying to find a way to get the Google apps and Market place working or to Port a different ROM to this type of device.

Wow, that stinks. I had no idea the marketplace was blocked on these devices. Please let me know if you find a real work around and I'll do the same.
Hi everyone,
I too opt-in for a possible collaboration.
I'm still waiting my baby to arrive.
Thanks
Thank you boshkop,
Let's hope we can get enough people to agree. And then a technical person to port Android for us.
By the way I found another nice app market at Androidpit
What do you mean by "porting the Android"?! The device already runs Android 2.2!! Am I missing something here?

As far as I understood, he meant that Android market doesn't work and no apps can be installed even via .APK files, am I correct?
I just found a possible solution for the AndroidMarket (using the application Applanet).
Check here (the last post):
androidpit.com/en/android/forum/thread/420722/Table-7-wm8650-VIA-926-REVIEW
I have this tablet and I can tell you, it run 90% of the apk aplications
No need to have an android market. You can install the applanet market and get all free without registration and any complicated steps.
Now the only thing I'm searching is to know how to root the tablet.
I can access all the system files directly and edit any archive but need some special permisions.
Hopefully soon we can find soemthing for this awesome tablet.
rom
Hi everyone, I will have a ROM posted for the Eken m009s with the via 8650 cpu within the next few days, so far I removed the chinese apk's, a different lockscreen (froyo default), and launcher pro as the default home screen, also, Slide Me marketplace works perfectly on this, and Applanet does as well, the market I tried also fails to open.

I also needed to root this WM8650!! Pls anyone can help me to .... - 1. enable Ad-hoc Wifi connection and 2. Install the official Android Market apps! Thanks!
Did you ever post this rom?
There are lots of ROMs some of them still under development here:

I really dont know how to tell which one mine is though? It is a MID tablet running android 2.2 froyo 7" display I can post my model number and other specs if you need them to be able to tell which one it is.

Unfortunately there are at least 3-4 models with same tech specs.
The only difference is their LED color or if they vibrate on startup or not...
So far, the only way with the custom ROMs for these tablets is trial-and-error.
I tried on last night and it is stuck on a loading screen tried the install again and nothing... mine has green led and does vibrate on startup

Just keep trying with different ROMs made for the Green LED tablets.
Thats the problem the only roms I found that will actually load on my tablet dont work the other green led roms wont even load???

[Q] Ematic Funtab

So I just bought my children each a tablet 2 different brands. The one I am having a problem with is an Ematic Funtab (pink and purple silicone kid like tablet). I have searched high and low on the web and have had no success.
First of all it is a 2.2 Android Froyo, and when I try and go onto her fav website (the whole reason I got her this was to play this game and leave my computer alone, lol), it is called animal jam, it tells me I need to download Adobe Flash, and when I try to download Flash, it tells me my device does not support it.
I was told to try and get the Flash app from the market, and here lies problem 2! It is preloaded with some generic ''app market'' with a pic of the android avatar, and another market, Appoke or something, and they both suck (because they are not Google Play), and do not have Flash, or much else for that matter! So I added (thru the browser, website, and email) the Amazon Market, but when I tried to download any apps I was told I needed and sd card, so now I am waiting on that to arrive to try that again.
So I was wondering about this whole ''rooting'' thing? If I root this device will I be able to add Flash and Google Play? Also, since there is so little info on the internet about this Ematic Funtab, does anyone know how I would be able to root this specific device? And after the device is rooted what version of Android will it be, still 2.2 or what? And what do I do after it is rooted? Like do I have to install the OS or something?
I know this is a lot, but if you can answer even one of these questions or point me in the right direction my baby would really appreciate it, because I got this on ebay and it is going to cost more money we don't have to return it, she used her birthday money :crying:

[Q] New Big Lots Uniden UTAB71 questions

They are pretty crappy. A8, 512MB, 4GB, but only $59 on sale right now. I was able to side load Yahoo Messenger & Plugin, and Titanium backup. Does this mean it's already unlocked? Oh, and it came with Google Play installed. They take a 32GB SDHC just fine, but no HDMI. I also bought a FUBU Nabi awesome sauce thing for my kids. Can I backup the kids apps on the Nabi with Titanium to ext SD, then just restore them to the Uniden? My main question is, Is this thing already unlocked? Sorry for the Noobness. I learned to root the Nabi and sideload stuff in a couple hours on the Nabi, but still a noob..

BUMP
Sorry if it was wrong to bump, I believe it said it was okay to do so once every 24 hours.
I have the same device and I'm curious, I tried the z4root app, and I got no results. I installed superuser and nothing happened, or nothing seemed to happen, that would be awesome if it was already unlocked!
NOTE: When I opened the z4root app, it never said root/unroot, it looked like it said re-root/unroot, ao I'm guessing it might already be unlocked, but I'm having the hardest time finding out.
Does anyone happen to know?
Uniden UTAB71
My UTAB71 didn't come with Google Play store preloaded, and there wasn't an option to obtain it from the list of approved app stores you could download by clicking the 'Download App Stores' icon on the default launcher. I also tried installing it from the APK I downloaded from Android Police (w w w dot androidpolice.com/2012/11/02/download-latest-google-play-store-3-9-17/) to no avail.
I had previously purchased a 7" D2 pad from Big Lots and used a package I found on AndroidTablets.net (w w w dot androidtablets.net/forum/allwinner-a10-based/47980-can-anyone-help-me-2.html) to put Google play store on it, and this package also worked for the UTAB71. Look at the first post on the page (it's by user Erron and a link to his skydrive includes the necessary files).
This tablet is already rooted.
I haven't been able to find anything online concerning this tablet...not even from Uniden's or SouthernTeleCom's websites. I will use this thread for the time being for any updates I come across while toying with this device.
So far, I'm pretty satisfied...if I can have GO launcher and video chat via skype for $60, that's a win in my book. The tablet is relatively quick for only having a 1Ghz processor and 512MB ram. I haven't noticed any lag yet and seems as fast as the 1.2Ghz 1GB ram D2 pad I had purchased before.
EDIT1: I found the hidden support section for Uniden on Southern Telecom's website:
southerntelecom.com/unidentabletsupport/ although it doesn't have any info pertaining to the UTAB71...just a device called the UTAB430. I expect this is where we will find firmware updates, etc in the future.
I'm not sure what rooted means anymore. I know what root is on Linux, but... This let me install ES Explorer from exsd. I put 10GB of kids avi/mp4 videos on it and it plays them all fine. I guess if I can install anything I want from exsd I don't care if it's rooted. It is fast enough. It has a nice screen when playing hi-rez animated movies.
- Joe
I'm glad to hear that it is already rooted.
This makes me confused as to why superuser and other rooted apps would not properly operate. They got errors when trying to request superuser root permissions or something, i couldn't get error codes, just crashes...
I like it, its pretty quick, I however am trying to overclock it and so far no success.
Nothing drastic, just bumping it up to maybe 1.2 GHz at most.
Enough to stop the minor lags I encounter once in a blue moon...
Maybe Bumping the SD speed as well...
Its a nifty tablet, Very helpful in college. Since I got it, I don't have to lug around my ASUS 17" gaming laptop with all its mods, OC, and power chord anymore. Takes a load off my back. lol
Sorry if it looks like I'm hijacking this, I'm not. This thread seems relevant. And I'm thinking the OP might need this info as well, might come in handy for him in the future, idk...

I got one today and it's pretty decent. Anyone find out anything new?
Thanks for those instructions, I was able to get Play Store loaded on.
btw, out of the box the kernel allows for OC'ing.. I used ROM Toolbox Pro to OC to 1.2ghz. Anything higher made the tablet lock up, but ymmv.
The tablet is surpisingly quite responsive @1.2 ghz with Apex Launcher.
not to sound too nooby, but is there a way to connect this to a monitor?
I'm getting one of these, I will be experimenting with it alot, getting what I like to work =P
I was able to install Anroid Market / Google Play just fine using article on the-digital-reader.com
So far this is working fine for my uses, using Sign my Pad, to sign PDF work orders, and keep pdf service manuals at hand, testing wifi signals etc

A friend of mine just got one of these, and I put the Google Market on it, but it did not update to Play for some reason. Anyway, he had not set up any passwords on it, but after it went into sleep mode on him this morning, it came back wanting a password to access it. Well since he had never set it up, the password was unknown. He brought it to me this afternoon, because I hack a lot on Android devices. I was not able to get it to reset using the hard button on the side. It still always booted wanting a login password.
I tried getting it into recovery, but was never able to. There are only 2 buttons on the device, power and home. Does anybody have any idea how to get this tablet into recovery mode?
thx,

I however found a way to confirm this device is rooted. There is am app called "Root Checker"
In any app store, download that app, it should be free.
Anyways, I clicked to confirm if it was rooted, and it says it is already rooted.
Under my kernel version it says [email protected] #56 or something like that, so I'm assuming it was rooted and something to do with ubuntu...
Anyways, I've installed a terminal IDE app, and typed SU, shows # which I believe also means rooted.
--------------------------
Now that it is rooted, I've forgotten all my great ideas for changes and things to do that only rooted phones can do. Kinda sad. lol
But I will start looking for manual overclocking modification methods.
As I have not yet found any overclocking applications that support this devices hardware...
I like it a lot, runs flawlessly, and smooth, except for the ocassional lag on the internet browser, I'm thinking a small 0.1-0.2 GHz bump will do the trick.

******* I hope this helps all of us! I do not know where to start as far as modifying a kernel or ROM for this device, but I found these specs above.
SetCPU does seem to increase the CPU frequency, but I don't think the voltage changed at all, so... I will be working on what I can with my device, I will post if I find anything useful as far as anything goes.
Maybe with luck, this device will run windows 8 for ARM! I can only try.
E-Mail Address Book
Is there a way to save addresses of received E-Mails in like an address book or contact list that most other mails have? If there is I have not found

Are you using the stock built in pre-loaded email app?
I couldn't say, I havent used it yet.
I do believe the device has the ability to copy and paste text, and that it also has a contacts list feature that you can edit the emails into.
However I don't know if they work together...
I use the gMail app. It and my gMail account seem to remember email addresses...
---------------------------------------------
I have been using SetCPU app from my phone in my android tablet, so far it has beem working fine.
The stock CPU speed is 1.001 GHz on this tablet.
So far I am running overclocked 1.2 GHz and it has been stable all day. Battery life seems to be the same.
It does get somewhat warm on the back of the device by the power button, but nothing drastic or alarming.
Remember: Overclocking is your choice and your actions alone, it can be fatal to the device if done incorrectly.
If anyone finds anything about these devices, I hope it gets posted here.
Maybe if we are lucky enough, because enough of us have these tablets, we will get our own device category and general forum for info and questions...
I forgot what else I was going to say... Other than I might look into the 4.1 Android updates and whatever comes next for android, and I will see if I can backup my current device files, OS, Kernal, etc and upgrade it.
But for now, I'm starting slow and working on finding more info. Anyone else getting any progress?
--------------------------------------
NOTE: Sorry this thread got hijacked into this. It sort-of because the Uniden tablet Know-it-all and what not spot of questions and answers.
I will stop if the OP and/or others decide it is nessisary.
If thats the case, I'd stop and then make a dedicated thread to this device and link this thread and my other question thread to that thread as "Relevant info"...
