Hi all,
I make a application android for my customers but my customers want to allow their customers access to tablet with my application "blocked". The final user can't quit my application, he can simply use my application.
Tablet must have ethernet (via usb to lan adapter), the bottom button bar must be hidden.
Can you recommend me a model ?
Thanks a lot,
I have tested the Toshiba folio 100, but with no driver video for the graphic card with andro 3.0.
Andro 3.0 is required for the usb to lan adaptater
I have try too the acer iconia a200, but isn't rootable for the moment,
now I try the samsung galaxy tab
hi Alexandre,
we have the same problem for a new project.
Do you think it's possible do do it without rooting the device ?
Hi,
may be if you wantt stay in dhcp and if you have usb lan driver in your os.
Thanks,

Lenovo thinkpad offers alot of security for the tablet and is integrated into the framework and not a app alone, which makes breaking the security alot harder for regular users even with root enabled.
i think its a question of users/companies wanting security they get Thinkpad tablet for that, which cisco client included for vpn as well.
Hi dexter,
Do you test this tablet?
Do you think it's possible to wake up this tablet automaticaly the morming? by a magic packet or a rtc alarm?
Thanks,
Hi Alexandre17220,
I think we are working on similar projects because it seems we have tested the same tablet and we are also lookgin for the followinf important things :
-A- securing the environnement by prohibiting the user to access the Os interface
-B- use a ethernet device via an USB adapter.
We have tested the following ones :
- Toshiba Folio 100 (ok for point A & B but not enough tested on HC 3.2)
- Acer Iconia A200 (the european tablet seems to be not rootable yet)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab P7510 (rootable without any problem so point A must "workable", but we habe problems with point B : do you connect your Tab with Ethernet ?)
Regards,
André
Hi André,
The samsung galaxy is very good, I have rooted it via this link http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Yes my application dialog with a server via http request. So I don't want use wifi because it's slow and very limited.
If you want to hide the bottom bar you can use this code :
Code:
try {
Process myproc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"su","-c","service call activity 79 s16 com.android.systemui"});
myproc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "impossible to kill the bottom bar", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Thanks,

i tested the firmware on my acer a500, but not the physical lenovo hardware, but thats not important here.
and since wifi is going offline during deepsleep on tegra2 tablet, i doubt any magic packet can awaken any tegra tablet unless you force wifi always on, but then alot of angry users will complain about battery life.

I'm sorry to hear about these issues, these Carpad II units look very interesting but there is very little information out there about them. Anyone with one of these units, could you answer these questions:
1) Do steering wheel controls work in Android, or only in WinCE?
2) Can you listen to the radio (WinCE I assume) and run an Android app simultaneously? So say listen to the radio and also run the Waze gps app with voice prompts. How does it handle the audio mixing?
3) What is the boot time? From ignition to radio playing. I have a pure android unit now but the boot time is slow. I understand WinCE is much faster, and I hope the radio would start playing while the android system is still booting up.
Thanks!

The unit is very interesting and powerful, the fact you can't talk with the support is ridiculous because sometimes a problem can go away in 5 minutes of skype talks..
1) Only in WInCE. But not sure of your question.
2) Yes you can. WinCE have different volume levels (media, radio, phone, video ..) but all the audio in Android environment is streamed in the MEDIA channel of WinCE. You can still control single volumes in Android.
This is not so bad, but there is only a problem: music stream doesn't drop down during speech of navigators in Android.
3) Boot time is longer than OEM equipment of corse. First to be ready is WinCE with all the media and canbus sections. Radio (if on before last power off) start immediately. Android double the time. I use it for Sygic Navigator, and Google Maps navigation (the best because always up to date and with real time traffic)
Dont buy one

Newsmy HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Still not working .

I found some usefull links for car pad owners but mine is not accepting firmware upgrade . I get the pink box but then I get red tex telling me firmware will not load error. and pink box never flashes yellow I am thinking I have the wrong firmware version. I will try others . downloads are slow and often time out so I have to download again . will keep trying.
I cant tell what firmware I need , I don't have the box anymore and it never came with English instructions so I tossed them away. All I can tell you is written inside the pure android box is this. AD3188-JB4.22-CARPAD-1.0.0 THEN IN PEN IT HAS -79 . thankyou for your help

no change.. newsmy car stereo is no good.
I managed somehow to subscribe and post 3/4 questions on their chinese forum.
I obtained a couple of posts from another user (useful for the specific topic), and stop. No one from Newsmy answered in a week.
At this point I just have to hope that the Carpad will never break, and take back my unanswered questions.
For this reasons I strongly discourage anyone from outside China to buy a product newsmy.
In Italy I am a moderator in a forum community of the same vehicle of mine.
There was a lot of waiting for the reviews on this product, others would follow me to the purchase of Carpad probably. Now it will not happen.

What's wrong with your products？I am summer from Newsmy,maybe i can help you.

Hi Summer,
my unit came from tradesolution.hk,
images and serial number in attachment.
I have differents issues, here are some:
RADIO SECTION->
- 80% of the FM stations I get them in MONO;
- FM "AF" function, is not funcional. I travel to the same cities every days, and with others radio I can keep the same radio stations, with CARPAD I lose the signal. Before I listened always two or three stations and frequencies changed without me lose the signal. With Carpad not happen.
- RDS never received any stream, even if the symbol appears on display;
(FM OEM antenna is connected, in fact, by disconnecting the cable, I do not find any station)
- I cannot scan FM with binded phisical key: only via touchscreen, and this is really useless;
OTHERS->
- I do not have the rear parking sensors, but I have aftermarket rear camera: I correctly get the image on the unit, but without sensors I get a continuos annoying beep and I cannot disable in any way. make a software way to DISABLE it;
- the quality of the microphone in a phone call is very very LOW.. make a software way to allow the use of an auxiliary microphone;
- backlight sometime is off, although in the rest of the dashboard is turned on;
...
I have other problems to list, but for the moment I stop. let's see what happens.
I consider regrettable the fact that the service contact on skype has abandoned me without answer. And from your forum you have locked my account after I asked a few questions.

Hello
I bought a newsmy carpad 2 for my ford focus 1.6 tdci 2010. Unfortunately I became no support from newsmy, althought I wrote severals mails: no answer, no help, nothing. I' m very disappointed! The newsmy carpad 2 is a very good product, but without support from producer Newsmy!!
I explain here my problem one more time with the hope that someone may help me!
I have a problem with the Newsmy Ford Mondeo,Focus 08,S-Max Android 4.2 Capacitive Touch Screen Car Pad 2. The serial number of the DVD Player is: SN E5PCF0018HQ0010 (overseas stock).
I installed the DVD Player. Unfortunately the wheel controls and the backlight of the player don't work. I asked a technician about it. He told me that the DVD player must be configured with the newest firmware of the player and with the software vehicleconfig otherwise the can-bus module of the player cannot work properly with my car. My car is a ford focus 1.6 tdci 2010.
Somebody can help me please??
Thanks in advance!

Upgraded Android with instruction and image file given:
is it normal ?
I have lost Android Box??
:edit
NEVERMIND! Upgrade succeeded!
This 4.4 Android version is beautiful configured this way on the carpad and I can see a better UI and user experience.
Good work for this upgrade.
In the WinCE section instead, there is still an open issue regarding RDS and its related AF (alternate frequencies) function. This function allow user to travel km and km keeping the same Radio Station tuned. This function is responsible to scan in the background for alternative frequencies of the selected station and transparently switch.
Unfortunately carpad is currently sold as "RDS enabled" but is not fully enabled.
Hope in the future the manufacturer will update this part too.
Many thanks to Summer.
I am going to pass your skype contact other clients I know who are not fully satisfied with the product. I hope you will want to give them some good advice.
hello,
i bought the easycap viewer android application,
and installed it on my devices
The easycap viewer needs an easycap frame grabber , connected via usb to the device and connected to a camera (via bnc or s-video or rca connector)
the devices i have are these:
- Acer iconia tab a500 (tegra 2 , android 4.03)
- Created N7 (china phablet, mt6592, android 4.4.2)
- Xiaomi m2s (qualcomm snapdragon, miui v5)
The application does work flawlessly with the Xiaomi m2s,
instead:
on the Acer, when i start the app, the screen become black, and the app is not responding
on the Created N7,, the appl starts , but when i connect the camera, i cannot see the video coming from the camera
I dont understand why on these devices the app does not work,
and need help to understand what is the cause of the problem.
The app includes an option to send log report to the developer
(autodroid), i sent it, but autodroid told me to try with a powered hub, but this did not help...now they are working on other project, so they told me they cannot help
Could you please help me to find the cause of the problems?
By the way, on the Acer i cannot send the report, because the appl is not responding:
so i enabled the logcat, and i was able to see in it that the appl is hanging when it tries to load the streaming library...
Could you help me?
I can send you all the data you need to debug the appl..
or, if not possible to fix it, could you suggest me an alternative frame grabber application/usb dongle that can work with my devices?
PS for the forum moderators:
this question was submitted also on XDA assist,
but there only a user answered to me.
The answer was absolutely general and not satisfactory,
then the thread was closed by the same user.
So i opened this new thread.
Please keep it open,
so that i can get also other opinions from other users.
Thanks.
Thank you!!

Hello everyone,
I got the huawei m5 tablet but it seems it does not support pen functionality (probably you know already).
Is there any news that this functionality can be added via some system update or so? Or this will not happen?
Regards
You can use Adonit Dash (or any other active stylus) with no problem. But no way for advanced pens with pressure sensing (and palm rejection).

I think the m5 and m5 pro have slightly different hardware so probably wont be able to use a proper smart pen on the standard m5
The M5 Pro has an additional layer over the screen for use with the stylus. But reports say text, icons etc have a blurred look because of this. Its why I went for the standard 10.8 instead of the Pro
HI, I tried with all apk with this ESN: NFANDROID2-PRV-0-VS===KT1-21462- that I got from ninja4 mod but doesn't works.
Someone knows the correct ESN fro Mecool KT1 ?...
Thanks
Do you get a browser to work? Android TV 10 is so restricted, no "side load apk" allowed. I have a Mecool KT1 with german Astra SAT-TV.
EPG has no customer options - timeshift max is only 5 min. Record-SAT is not good implemented. Sadly- hardware seems potent enough- would like to know is there a software team development "like enigma2 on Linux boxes"around?
is somewhere a thread in a forum for kt1 ?
i have the t2 version .
Except the side load problem i can not even put the favorite channels in the order i prefer.
Is there a trick for this?
