[Q] Problems with low budget tablet

Hi XDA,
Today I bought a tablet, the 10" Tablet PC by Qware, model QW TB-9010.
Hardware looks fine, but I'm having some issues:
First issue is that I can boot the tablet, but when I unlock it, all I see is a black screen with the notification bar at the top which works fine, but the rest is empty and black. When I press the Home button a couple of times, the wallpaper flashes up, I see the appdrawer button but then it crashes to the black screen again, so can't do anything on the device itself.
Next, the screen stopped working, I have to use a mouse to unlock it, I'm trying to fix this with new firmware but thats where we arrive at the biggest problem:
Not in the manual, the manufacturers website, or by just trying, I cannot find out how I get this device in recovery/update mode.
Support is VERY poor for this product, but I'm guessing firmware like Uberoid will work on this device, but can't install this because it doesn't boot in recovery mode or w/e.
So if anyone has any idea how they can help me or have any tips? Please let me know!
I want to fix this thing!

How long did you use this thing ?

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Boot Loop (stock)

I have an unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus imported from the UK to the US. Ordered from Negri Electronics.
It's not rooted or modded in any way.. Mainly because I don't know how to. As far as I know, it's running stock ICS.
I was using it normally, (using the fb messenger app if it makes any difference) when it suddenly rebooted by itself. The Google logo comes up, then the start up animation, and sometimes the home screen will appear but is not touch sensitive (i cannot slide it to unlock), and then it 'hangs' and the screen goes black. Repeat.
I've tried to fix this by myself and there's a video on youtube (sorry, noob here. can't post links. video is by robbidwv and title is "my galaxy nexus won't boot..") of the same problem that I have, but the posted solution doesn't work for me.
So far, I have entered Coin Mode and pressed Start. Entered Fastboot mode and gone into Recovery Mode (no options appear after that. it just starts booting up and the loop begins), and I've also tried Restart Bootloader.
I've almost given up. Now all I want is to extract my SMS, if they're still on my phone. I can't access the folders on my computer because it won't boot up and connect. Is there a way that I can extract my SMS by using DOS in either Coin Mode or Fastboot mode?
Or even better, does anyone have a solution to this boot loop problem? I'll contact Negri Electronics tomorrow and hopefully they can send me a replacement.
Please help!! Thanks

that problem just started happening with me an hour ago!!
i hate this!!
we need a solution please!

Hey guys, sorry about the issue.the major problem I see here is you wanting to retrieve your txt messages, which might be possible with a little Modding, but if yourwilling to lose them to get a working phone back, then this is what your going to have to do. Make sure your phone is completely off. Hold the 2 volume buttons and the power button together. You will get into a mode with an android Guy. Press the volume button up or down until it says reboot recovery at the top. Press the power button. It will rebootand come to a screen with an android. Hold volume up,down and power at the same time. A menu will come up. Go down to wipe data. Click it, and after it is done reboot. Your phone should work now.
If this helped you, or you simply appreciate me taking the time to write this out then please press the thanks button

Hey!
Thanks. Yeah I 'fixed' it already. I was just about to post something similar. After a while I just gave up on trying to recover my data. Good thing that Google syncs everything so the only issue would be recovering my messages, which I decided weren't worth sending it in for a repair which would probably not be able to recover anything anyway.
The thing I didn't know about was to press power + volume up WHILE on the recovery screen. I thought navigating to the recovery screen was it!
Still, this kind of sucks. I love my GNex, but I can't help but be slightly pissed seeing that my crappy iPhone 3GS never did this in the 2 years I had it. Oh well, hope it doesn't happen again!

hey guys! i also did a complete wipe on my phone and got it working again!
but i wonder why this happened in the first place?
last application i installed before the crash was double twist, i dunno why but i feel that it was the reason behind the boot loop!

Sorry for reviving this thread, but I just had this happen to me TWICE!
It happened to me first last Monday, the 23rd - the phone crashed when trying to send an email with an attachment - and went into a boot loop - Google logo would appear, no make it to the animation, and reboot....
I performed a full reset and things worked again. I didn't install all the apps I had before - figuring it must have been due to some app messing with the OS.
Well, it happened again to me yesterday! I was connecting to my bluetooth headset when the phone crashed and went into the boot loop. Full reset worked again, and I've installed even fewer apps - essentially only those that I use on a daily basis.
My phone is still on 4.0.1 and I'm hoping once 4.0.4 is pushed this may get resolved? I have a canadian GNex from Negri. I will call them again (I called the first time, but when the full reset worked I never contacted them again).
I would like to this this is a software issues, and not hardware.

I have the same problem. If you figure it out let me know.

Today my phone also entered a boot loop: [Google logo]->[black screen]->[vibration]->[Repeat]
I tried Recovery Mode, but this is what happens: (sorry for the link but I am not trusted with powerful tools such as outside links apparently, as I have not yet reached the maturity of a person with eight posts... )
dl(dot)dropbox(dot)com/u/53568097/Android.jpg
This is what I see when I navigate to Recovery Mode
For a split second I can see an image of an Android with spinning cogs in his innards, but then this little sad fellow appears. WTF is this?
EDIT:
Oh, and I'm running Android stock 4.0.2, never rooted or unlocked, Swedish. At the time when the phone started doing this, I was using Endomondo, and was about to set off on my bike when it died on me.

Stock ROM galaxy nexus bootlooping after wiping data also.
Hi,
My GNex went into a bootloop so i searched xda and found that factory reseting would be helping my prob. But after wiping the data also its still in going through the loop . Please help .:crying:

a510 power button problem

Hi dear community!
Got a problem with the power button of my a510. Sometimes when the device is in standby and I want to switch it on by pressing the power button nothing happens and rest totally unresponsive. I have to push it like 10-20 times and even connect the charger to get reaction. Once the device is switched on the power button works normal. I suppose its some kind of freezing of the device in standby mode that blocks the power button. Is it a common problem and what can I do? Thanks in advance for advise!

First thing I would try is to reboot it (press power button for a few second and let it shut down, then restart it). If this is not helping I would hardreset it (reset hole left to power/usb-connector).
And if not this is making it better make a factory reset (from the settings). Keep in mind that you will loose all data and have to start from scratch with your tablet.

Thanks! One question though, do the hardreset from the hole left to power/usb-connector do the same thing as factory reset from the settings - loosing all the data?

Nope. The pinhole reset thingee is similar to the reset button on a CPU. It simply hard reboots the system (supposedly used when the device freezes, since we can't "pull the battery" like what we do with phones).
Reading through your OP though, I actually recommend sending the tablet back to the shop. I don't have that, nor have I heard of that issue.

I don't have this problem, you'd better send it to service.

I think I found the problem wnen seeing the log from the device. It's a freezing situation. The device become unresponsive and that's why the power button doesnt work when pressed. After second long press it reboots the device. So the button works.
In one of those freezings console says: Unsafe JavaScript attenmp to access frame with URL.. So I disabled java in the stock browser and will keep reading log for further freezes.

hi i was getting that issue.
a factory reset stopped it but recently it came back.
im overseas for 2 months asking acer the immeditaely said to return device for repair.
have to wait now.
Also jist the other day i got three freezes screen went pink completely.
once it went yellow.
i would sugest talk to acer as i know mine now is def faulty after the screen issue.

Hi,
so I realized that a couple of days after buying the thing I disabled some of the apps that comes with it in order to save some RAM, but maybe disabling them causes other apps to misbehave. And thats why sometimes device freezes compleatly. Now I'm checking this theory. Sorry for my English.

What did you use to disable them?

From settings - > apps, then choose a system app and there is a option to disable it.
Another thing. So I'm playing a lot and when some game suddenly stop responding I force closing it. Even this game is already closed after like 10-15min. the device freezes and only rebooting it saves the situation.

I disabled alot of stock apps as well. My tab is running fine though. You can maybe list down what you've disabled and I'll confirm if they're disabled on mine too?

Couple of days observation lead me to the conclusion that the freezing is due to unresponding processes left in the memory most likely a high demanding 3d games such Dead trigger, Asphalt 7 or Dark knight.
Edit:
It might be a bad freezing flash player mostly used through stock browser.

i tried this way too..but it freezes also when it's fresh from a hard reset
i don't know if it's an app issue...or whatever.
but i just got a new a510 as replacement of my old one that kept freezing...and also this replacement keeps freezing
i didn0t disable any native app...nor installed any new app. just got it...and freezes the same.

When watching flash video in stock browser and when exit watching, the browser sometimes freezes and needs to be force closed to function again. When left whitout force closing it eventually after some time causes general freeze. That's happening also when a game crashes and left in memory that way. Needs to force close everything that crashes. For example when watching HD Cams in Earthcam.com often browser crashes when closing it or when I play Tower Defense game crashes a lot. Afterwards the whole system freezes.
That's my assumption as above all monitoring I've done.
Let's hope Acer will have fix in Jelly Bean update.

in the newer firmwares are freezes still found? i noticed that all my italian friends stuck with 1044 experience them...maybe later ones solve it?

There is no new firmware, but will be most likely.

there are lots of ota after 1.044 ww.
germany is at 1.099 stock....
i'd like to hear something from who uses it ...

[Q] Galaxy P3110 keep restarting

Hillo~
My Samsung Galaxy P3110 suddenly keeps restarting itself 2 weeks ago until now.
I did hard reset using POWER button + VOLUMN UP button, even it says everything was wiped, but when the table get started, everything are still there, even my passwords and wallpapers.
Then it will start itself again. It does it about 10 - 20 seconds after it started.
When I manually removed widgets, uninstall apps, after it restarts, they are still there.
I did used odin and follow some instructions I found on the internet, even it says "PASS", but in real, it doesn't work for anything, the problem is still there.
My tablet is running under CyanogenMod.
Is there anyone can help me with this?
I will be so much appreciate if you guys can help me fix the problem.
Thankz in advance!

[Completed] [Q] A Tough Bootloop Problem...

Good day to all. I'm here resorted to ask about my problem here because I really can't handle it. I been googling for days. I'm ran out of resources from both google and tablet. So, I hope you can help me here. Note I'm going to write this in FULL detail here, so expect this to be a extremely long post. (I been warning you) So here goes....
Anyone uses the brand Ramos?(kind of unpopular brand) I use Ramos W21, it's been using it around 1 year and a half, and it endured a lot of problems, but fixed by researching on online forums and apply various methods there. Now, I think it's finally gave up...
One time, when I opened it and play my usual apps and browsing, it caused the errors " unfortunately
google.process.gapps has stopped", unfortunately browser has stoped",and "unforturnately google play has stopped". Then, I tried to clear data the similar apps in settings as usual, and even disabling them. Then more errors exploded, and "unfortunately launcher has stopped" appears. The menu screen(where the usual wallpaper and shortcut apps are located) turns black, while my running apps are still there running. When I pressed the back key to exit the app, now only tons of errors from the launcher appears endlessly(while the screen is black.
The time I finally turned it off by hard reset it made its way to the main problem: the bootloop.
Okay, here's where the thing gets real. It opens with the usual ramos logo, but the next one is a silver flashing android logo instead of enlarged ramos logo with spinning fire from the letter o(which is NOT my usual boot up screen) When I turned it off, it reopens again up to flashing silver android logo and the cycle repeats, even with pin reset until battery dies out. No recovery mode, so I can't use it to fix this. USB connections can't be recognized when inserted to PC. And no, the tablet is not rooted, and I don't customized anything, no mods, and no fancy roms. Just using a stock rom.
So now what? All I have here is just a sd card slot, which I think there's hope in there. Right now it has two options, deal with it and fix with all of might, or repair it in the nearest repair shop(something that is pretty risky, a lot of fakes and robbers here)
Well, this is the first time I post here, so sorry for anything that goes wrong. Thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like a rouge app has replaced your boot animation. Rather than try to chase that down and try to fix it I'd flash the stock firmware and start all over. Unfortunately there is very little about your device on XDA. So you'll probably have to google that.

Solved!!!
Update: I FINALLY FIXED IT!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! O.O
After I keep on wrecking it's power buttons and volume buttons, I discovered something decisive!
This tablet actually HAS RECOVERY MODE! Again, it has a recovery mode! However, the way how to input it is very unique compared to most devices, including other devices from the same brand!
Now having the power of recovery state, I first selected "wipe data cache". The old large Ramos logo with spinning fire appeared again! But it's still bootlooping. So I went back on recovery state, selected "factory reset" and boom, IT BOOTS LIKE BRAND NEW!!! (sacrificing my old data though)
Okay, I don't want this recovery mode powers to be kept only by me. So I'm going to share it to all Ramos users,especially the model W21, like right now!
1. To do this, you need power button and volume up button.
2. While bootlooping, hold the power button and volume button at the same time and it will turn it off(Then expect it to turn on back up again automatically)
3. When it opens up again to the small Ramos logo(no fire animation), now RELEASE the POWER BUTTON ONLY, and keep holding the volume up button. Note, this is important! If you do anymore than this, it will either black out, go bootlooping once again, or ultimately, nothing.
4. Keep holding the volume up button, then the ramos logo will disappear, and now it will enter to our holy grail, RECOVERY MODE! Congratz!
Now when you finally have a normal working Ramos tablet again, you may go there again by turning it off by "Power Off" (assuming that your tablet is open) then holding the power and volume up(then follow above!)
I hope this will help a ton for Ramos users! :laugh:

I'm glad you got it working. You should post your solution here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general More people with your device will look there than in the Assist forum. Name the post something like [SOLVED] RAMOS Bootloop Problem
