So I work for a very small cellular company (less than 40k subs) and my boss is ordering second hand devices with Android 2.3.6 OS Version. I've been hunting around online for the past few days to give him documentation on how out dated and what potential issues this can cause for customers. All I have found is from the Android Dashboards: (i can't post the link since i'm new to the forums)
So we have had multiple customer's in the last few days with this error: "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC: S-7:AEC-7 DUAS-N731-ACEW4] whenver they try to update an application. I've been trying to find a way to articulate to my management that the reason is the outdated OS of the devices we use, but I can't find any documentation to prove this fact.
I don't know if this is even the right place to ask the question, but everyone I've spoken to (reps and google, samsung, LG etc.) have pointed me to this forum. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist
Kindly register a account on XDA Forum so that you can ask/post questions in respective forums Well yes Android GingerBread Version is too old version now and many devices which were using it has now lost the development , the reason is that the many such devices were on 512mb of Ram and later on every stage of Android Upgrade System requirements too increased which later these devices lost the development , though there are still few devices which are running lollipop on 512mb Ram but is not easy task to achieve the same
Kindly post your question here Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

Hello there,
My brother bought a few Android boxes similar in spec to these models.......here
He bought quite a few of them rooted with his own branding on them and had his own firmware sent to him.
I was wanting to use one for XBMC which works great and for a retro games machine and this is where i am having a problem, i bought a g910 gamepad to use on this android box and switched on blue tooth but the switch immediately switches back to off.
I remember having this problem a couple of times with custom roms on the phones i had and it was usually sorted out with a fix from a developer.
I am hoping the Chinese suppliers that made these machine will send him my brother a fix or an updated firmware but there has been no reply back yet.
I would like to ask you gurus here if it is possible to fix this problem myself?
Could i use root explorer or something to repair the blue tooth problem?.......the firmware is currently on 4.4.2
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks:good:
Hi!
This is a tricky thread. Its kinda vague to be honest. You've said devices "similar" to....custom firmware someone created...etc.
You may need to be far more specific for decent advice, and obviously using the factory firmware may be your only solution. The custom firmware obviously has bugs.
All that said, here is where you should ask about devices that don't have their own section....

First all all, sorry my write mistakes, my english is not very good.
I am android user since v1.5, already have a lote of phones and tablets, and this was new for me.
In July i have buy around 1200 tablets for a client, to put a little database apk that i've made running on it.
Its a 2Hix WeePad 7 (MD710A i think) with 512 ram and 1GB rom + 4gb (asked direcly to manufactor in china) and Android 4.4.2
Till 30 september all the tablets worked fine. But after the mid night all of them starts to reboot.
I have made HardResets to Android tring to find the problem, and i find it.
It only crashes/reboots when i put the date to 1 October and connect thevwireless lan. I have tested in a lot of internet connection.
If i put the date to 30 September all works ok.
Can anyone help me?
I Have tried in normal version of this tablet, not the special one with 1gb and it haves the same issue.
Regards,
Coordas.
Hi,
If every tablet has this same issue, it's one of 2 things I'd guess. An app that is on every one of them, or an issue with the manufacturers software. I would contact the manufacturer for starters.
And you can ask here for possible ideas....

I already contact the manufacturer today and they tell me that the issue have already been reported, but no solution till now.
Is there any LOG file that can be debuged from the system? The idea is find the last program or process in the moment of system restart.

Coordas
In your situation....An adb log is probably your only option...

Hi folks!
I did have a nose around and couldn't find anything to help me out in the forums.
I bought a high spec, low price android phone from China. Specs are fine, android isn't. Thinking this would be any easy fix, I was wrong so far.
I would like to have an international version of android including Playstore. The machine is a weiimi. Under the battery it states jielutong k6 amongst a lot of Chinese characters. MTK6572, android 4.4.
Would a ROM work at all or do I need to learn Mandarine?
Help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Bas
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The problem with these cheap Chinese phones is that there's virtually zero support for them, both from the manufacturer and here on XDA. You could try your luck in the general section but your chances of succeeding are very slim. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's just the way it is.
Here's the section I suggest you ask your question in:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

Hello,
where would be the appropriate forum to post this link:
Mod Edit: link removed
thanx
Hi,
Since that is essentially a paid commercial app... With a long trial period, it would be best to contact @jerdog, our OEM relations specialist, about that and go from there. He handles those sorts of things. Posting it directly in the forums will likely see your thread closed.
Good luck!

Not a problem. I do want to remind everyone, however, and this is based on the last few days of research -
That the Intel Mobile Development Kit in my opinion is currently the ONLY way to test and debug privileged code on Samsung Verizon retail devices running Android 5 OG5 and later, and since a way to root those devices may never be found - it will be the only way, period.

Well, please discuss your options with the contact I gave you above. All trial and paid software is removed from the site without accompanying free (non expiring) version as well..... As a general rule. :good:

Hi everybody,
hopefully I am at the right place here to ask these questions. If not please direct me to the appropriate sub forum.
Currently I have a Chines Clone Phone (maybe iphone 7 plus) here available - looking for several things. It seems the installed Android is working at least for the majority of main functions but it is far from being complete. Now I fear that these kind of phone and system is not very reliable or safe (bloatware, spyware and other sniffing stuff below surface or whatsoever). So my question is: Are these phones and their OSes are generally considered to be safely usable? Or does user need to fear to be infected, spied or similar?
So far I tried to Root the phone and to install custom recovery and custom ROM without any success. The only information I got can be seen in the attached screenshot.
Currently I am checking the methods and files proposed here and here. Does anybody know whethere these are reliable and can be trusted?
Unfortunately I could not find much information at XDA so far - also my clone phone identifying thread here at XDA did not provide much help so far.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Bye

XDA has a thread here for cloned devices but unfortunately you have an iPhone clone. This website does not deal with iPhone or iPhone clones(regardless of whether they are android based or not). You'll have to find somewhere else to get your answer.

Ok, thank you - will try to do so.
Then I will reduce my initial questions to the page and contents regarding MediaTek android systems I mentioned here and here.
Does anybody have any experiences with this stuff/site? Or should I open another thread for this question?

That site is all about getting paid for ads, the question isn't whether the guide can be trusted, it's a question of whether the files that are linked can be trusted, those files are in other places and just linked in that guide, they probably were not built/developed by whoever wrote the guide. Some of those files may have originated here at XDA are only linked in that guide to bring you here to download.
