Hi Guys,
I purchased 3 tablets over the last year and they were all supposedly "NATPC X210" tablets from the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AKYZ6R
The first was sold by: BE Tablets and the "About tablet" looks like: http://i.imgur.com/4zBFegd.png We'll call this Tablet 1 for £88.04 on the 10 February 2014
The second was sold by: Tablet Traders and the "About tablet" looks like: http://i.imgur.com/qmu9wPj.png We'll call this Tablet 2 for £89.99 on the 14 February 2014
The third was sold by: GadetsFair and the "About tablet" looks like: http://i.imgur.com/0UHC4pH.jpg We'll call this Tablet 3 for £62.95 on the 18 June 2014
Tablet 1 and Tablet 2 look identical in terms of physical appearance, tablet 3 looks nearly identical with the exception of it only has 1 MicroUSB port where as the other two tablets have 2 MicroUSB ports.
I've been looking around I've managed to work out that Tablet 3 appears to be a Crypto Novapad S104. Firstly, I could do with some help properly identifying the tablets because they definitely aren't all NATPC X210 tablets.
TABLET 1 and 2 Downsides:
- Both tablets came WITHOUT root (I want root!)
- Both tablets came with different firmwares so there is no consistency between them.
- Both tablets have issues finding certain apps on the Play Store...
- Both tablets have different pre-installed apps
- Both tablets have different appearances (See: http://i.imgur.com/eckPZpJ.jpg)
- Both tablets have different soft-key layouts. (See: http://i.imgur.com/eckPZpJ.jpg)
- Both tablets have an update checker but the update checker fails to work.
- Both tablets show the mobile signal signal strength as no signal (the tablet doesn't have any phone support so it should be disabled. (See: http://i.imgur.com/eckPZpJ.jpg)
- Both tablets have an ugly looking options drop down (top right) (wrong dpi or something) (See: http://i.imgur.com/eckPZpJ.jpg)
TABLET 1 and 2 Ups:
- Has two MicroUSB ports
Tablet 3 Downsides:
- Has one MicroUSB port.
- Has no update checker.
Tablet 3 Ups:
- Comes with root (However, I contacted CryptoTablets and they said that they don't come with root, he might have got it wrong I don't know.)
- Can access all of the apps on the Android store (as far as I can find)
- Has Ethernet support in Settings. (See: http://imgur.com/Bqz4Mdh)
- Has a much more refined UI with the dpi's set correctly.(top right looks much better) (See: http://imgur.com/Bqz4Mdh)
- Has a better softkey layout (See: http://imgur.com/Bqz4Mdh)
- Has a no mobile network signal, disabled because it doesn't support phone networks. (See: http://imgur.com/Bqz4Mdh)
I e-mailed CryptoTablets to try and get the firmware zipfile from them so that I could flash the same ROM that's on Tablet 3 onto Tablet 1 and Tablet 2 but they said "Our tablets are not rooted and any updates are performed in our service center, You need to send the device to us." which is obviously not acceptable for me :/
Secondly I want them all to have the same ROM on them WITH root... does anyone know if there are any custom ROMS out there that could be used?
I could really do with some help with them :/
Hi,
I suggest you ask here for help,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
And unless they are indeed the same models... If there are roms, you won't be able to use the same rom. You need to only flash roms made for each specific device, or you could be in real trouble.
Good luck!

Aestheticallly they look pretty identical and they supposedly have the same processor, ram...etc. How can I 100% correctly check the processor and stuff?

I have bought this device from a friend to have for my kid and it is recognized by market.android.com as "Infotmic M009F China Telecom"
The device is really slow (yeah i know its not the best hardware) and i would like to root it and have a slimmer and more power efficient android on it also working WIFI would be great cus wifi sucks on this little bastard.
Anyone that have a guide or rom for this one or atleast can tell me what it is for device so i can search around?
The first issue is to identify the device - is it a Eken M009F or a clone which a large number of people are receiving. If it is a Genuine Eken then you are in luck, if it is a clone we are still working on it, if you soft brick when can get them up again but thats fairly much where it is at due to the U0 uboot-nand.bin installed not supporting USB debugging and only USB OTG in the android OS.
Code:

Sorry can not post links as I have not submitted 8 posts.
i owned this one too, m009f clone. beware of cheap android tablet nowadays. honestly, i dont really care if it slow and stuck (even with the animation is off), but the saddest thing is, this tablet cant play angry bird!
Custom revovery???? m009f
I bought this 7" tab for $40.00 on ebay. I rooted this device using ADB, ZergRush, and Supersu. does anyone know of a custom recovery or can point me in a direction that may work? does this require a recovery specific to the device or could a generic recovery work(possibly for another device)? being that I have very little invested I figured .... why not?
For Christmas, I purchased two 7" Nextbook tablets. One went to my wife, and the other to my daughter. Google Play identifies both as "YIFANG NX007HD". My daughter got hers first. I quickly noticed a large number of apps show up as "incompatible with your device" on it. Common apps like Angry Birds, Wal-Mart, & Chrome. (Even though Chrome came installed on the device)
However, when we set up my wife's tablet, all these same apps show up as compatible, and install from Play just fine. I'm hoping to solve this mystery and hopefully get my daughter's tablet to work the same on the Play Store as my wife's. They are (or seem to be) identical after all, there must be a reason.
I don't know if the following has any bearing on the issue, but if so perhaps someone can tell me. We reside in the United States, but my daughter's google account uses an email address with the .in TLD. Her account also has no payment method set up.
If I had had more time with her, I would have liked to have swapped accounts on the two devices to determine for certain whether the issue was account related or device related. But I won't get a chance to troubleshoot until I see her again in the spring. Also, just to be clear, I don't need info on sideloading APKs. I'm just looking for reasons that only one of these two identical tablets would show so many "incompatible with your device" apps on the Play Store, while working fine on the second.

If you're willing to root, xposed has a module that removes that limitation. If not, I think it might be a software glitch. Bring it to the service centre to check it out.
Smack that thanks button if I helped!

Unfortunately the guys of Yifang / Nextbook / e-Fun are complete ass***holes.
They I've made a couple (or three?) identical devices, M7000 (silver back) / M7002 (black back) & M7000NBD (silver back), with complete different chips, two first driven by RK3066 (1.6Gz) and third one by AML8726-MXS (1.5Gz).
More than that in the site of Nextbook they promote some Nextbook Premium7HD (silver back) and they didn't mention speed processor or chip inside. This device are also branded as NX007HD & NX007HD8G.
From commercial point of view they just released the one they have in stock.
From user point of view a total mess!!! People is mounting Rockchip stuff in AMLogic devices and vice-verse.
Lots of users with their devices bricked... not all the users have the knowledge to notice the internal difference.
The worse part of it is that this device are cheap and really good.
I love Yifang devices... but IMHO this Chinese guys have gone too far doing this chitty tricks.

How to troubleshoot a failed ODIN flash?
Hi everybody,
currently I am using Android 4 (OMNI) on my Wave S8500 next to Bada (still using Bada sometimes since I ve got the livelong version of Route66).
I appriaciate the possibility to have both OS installed and ready for usage in parallal but I appreciate even more the usage of Android OS from SD card instead of internal memory since it is way faster!
Unfortunately the accu capacity when running on Android is only 1 to 2 days while compared with Bada 2.0 and similar usage pattern it lasts one entire week! (What a pitty that samsung did not take any benefit from having such a promising OS together with such a volume of devices sold mobiles, TVs, tablets whatever.)
In addition I've random freezes quite unreproducable which makes using Android quite unreliable. But all in all I am quite satisfied and really deeply grateful that Android for my wave even exists! I need to use it above all for calendar synchronisation (and also whatsapp meanwhile).
No I came across the possibilities of having version 5 of android to be used on S8500. But I could not find any suitable answers which version to go?
The one described here in (dev-thread) seems to be still in some early stages. Something similar seems to be the case for this version while non-working parts are partly mentioned.
I also found this description but without any additional information!
Does anybody have any hint or idead or suggestion for which version to go or whether number 5 is still not mature enough to be used as daily standard?
What are your experiences or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Bye

Hello everyone,
I was searching for Android One topics here and unfortunately found nothing ( probably because of the confusing name)
So can someone explain what's up with this Android One software overlay.
I read some info on wiki but still have some questions:
Is it like normal firmware that only comes with certain smartphones, or you can flash it yourself?
It's a near stock android but, which version is it based on,
does it come out every time new android version rolls out, or it just gets updated to the new one.
and lastly let's say I have android one phone, and after three years they stopped regular updates,
it's still android one compatible phone right, so I can update to the new version myself?
Thank you.

Hi, Android One are phones that run a lite weight version of Android for budget phones with small specs (under 2Go of RAM, entry level processor,...) called Android Go. It's supposed to give a fluid experience to phones with limited capacity. Each Android Go version (for each Android One device) is in consequences very specific to the device, in order to use efficiently all of what the different specs has to offer.
You can still build ROMs/TWRP for those devices, and use it as a normal device, but the experience will be much slower. So to answer your 3 questions:
1)It's firmware that only comes with certain phones, it's build to use perfectly the SoC and memory, so it's very specific (not generic like GSI)
2) Android One are phones, Android Go is the Android version. Your phone may or may not receive an update to the Next Android version, on that side it's the same as other phones. If it receives an update, you'll run (for example) Android 10 Go Version. So update exists for Android One phones, they won't stay for ever at the same Android version they had at the beginning.
3) when your phone won't be supported anymore, you won't be able to update your phone to another version of Android Go. You'll still be able to flash ROMs or stuff like that, but since Android Go builds are very specific to each devices, you can't flash them "cross devices".
PS: at the moment I've not heard of Android 10 Go Edition, it's still at Android 9 if I'm correct. But it will be updated, the goal of Android one is to support cheap and often not long lasting phone over time.

Since there's no dedicated forum for this phone (yet) & since I have a Motorola One Vision, I thought I'd post my question here to see if anyone here has upgraded their phone to this - or maybe suggest phones of similar type that I may've not considered/ found out about
Anyway, In the UK the mobile providers are starting to discontinue 3G from their networks & I've been thinking its about time to update.
Looking at (SIM-Free) phones in my price range (up to £300) I looked at internet 'recommended' listings & comparing those with my exiting phone to see what may be missing from those phones that I currently have on my phone (a few of the 'important' things are 'SD slot','3.5m Headphone socket' & NFC etc), since I don't like to 'downgrade' on features - then looking at reviews of those that fit the bill & try to see if there's any downsides to that phone in question
Since Motorola doesn't bloat their phones (much) the G73 seems to be a nice replacement (similar features, larger screen - although still a LCD - & 5G support)
- other manufacturers seem to add bloat/Ads, have cut-down firmware/UI [Samsung OneUI vs OneUI core for example] or other things that I don't like the sounds of
HOWEVER, some sites I've looked at the full specs of the Moto G73 & there seems to be some confusion with some of the specs such as the memory & internal sensors
- some sites state it's 'country specific' on what you get
So my questions are:-
- does the (UK) version of the Moto G73 contain a Gyro or not
- does the same UK model come with 128GB storage/8Gb Ram OR 256Gb Storage/8GB Ram
- can the phone use VoLTE (or '4g calling') which I think its also know as or is it like my ONE Vision that says it's 4G but doesn't allow 'VoLTE' ??
Many thanks in advance for any help & suggestions
