Is there going to be any xda support on this? It's still trickling into Kmart stores right now. but if we are able to OC this, that would be great

Doubt it...

its a great little device for little cash. i bought one today after i heard. glad i did. was this or the bb chumby. this blows it away

Hey Pen --
Have you tried the Kindle app on it? I want an ereader that is bigger than my MT3G and I think one of these would foot the bill if I can find one. My local store only had one and it was on hold for somebody.
I am going to get a rain check today.

until they release the patch which allows the market to work i havent tried it. they should have the patch released by tomorrow

How is the screen?
How do you like the screen and how is its performance in general.

over all i like the device. im used to a resistive screen so thats not a problem. doesnt appear to have the auto rotate screen but waiting to hear back from them to find out what the deal is. the manual talks about auto rotating the screen so it should have it. lack of bluetooth is another draw back but i really dont need it. they also have a 2.5mm headphone jack on them instead of a 3.5 like normal but they are addressing that with an adapter i do believe.
power consumption wasnt too bad. i was using the device for 5 hours yesterday and only used a 1/4 reserve from what it said. so i was only down to around 72% charge after playing with it for 5 hours. was reasonably bright enough in a brightly lit room. the angle one can see is pretty good as well.
the microsd card slot isnt in line properly. so if you insert a card you will want to put a price of tape on the end of it so when you release it you can pull it out. i played hell getting the thing to pull out and it was dragging the top of the card so had to use a pair of tweezers to pull it out.
cant access the market yet so havent tried the nook or kindle apps but that will be my next thing. looking at pictures was good. just as good as my digi pic frame.
over all for what i bought it for i do believe it will work a treat. i was going to buy a chumby either the bb or the sony branded chumby and this will work so much better then either of those two devices.

Thanks for the info pen.
It surprises me that that it has a 2.5mm jack. I wonder how it ended up with that. You can get an adapter on Amazon or ebay for a buck or two. That would be important for me because I'd like to be able to watch movies on it when I am on the train to work. That is also why I am interested in the Kindle app.
Everything that I have read seems to indicate that it has an accelerometer to rotate the screen.
I get the feeling that Augen underestimated the interest this device was going to generate and put it on the market when it wasn't completely ready, thinking they could dabble a little and fix problems on the fly with the couple of people that bought them. oops.

My Augen Gentouch78 experience
I just picked up my Augen yesterday at the KMart here in Phoenix (KMart actually called me on my raincheck I had made over the phone! Kudos to them). I like the form factor but am quite disappointed overall. While I don't think it is sluggish in general, the resistive touch screen makes it seem that way. Using your fingernail or an old pda stylus helps considerably in that regard.
Couple of negatives:
1. Market download does not work, as others have pointed out (it just stays in the "Starting Download" phase.
2. Micro SD card is hard to insert/remove (you need to use your fingernail in both cases, and to remove you need to also flick it down a bit to slide out as it seems to catch on the lip of the slot).
3. The device could not "Mount" when connected to my PC via USB. I had better luck when the SD card was not in the device, as I was able to Mount it once then, and saw that I had 1.3GB of free space... even though the device SD card info showed only 246ishMB free... what's up with that? (documentation did say there was 2GB available, so the Mounted drive size was closer).
4. I lost sound twice.. had to power off to get it back (all sounds started coming out as loud white noise). Seems to occur when pressing the top front part of the frame... yup, near where the menu/home/back buttons are.
5. Percentage battery use shows that monitoring cellular network was using 57% of the battery, and suggested turning it off. However, you can't... network settings only have WiFi (I curiously did find a place where it prompted me to turn on Bluetooth, but I don't think it did anything).
6. I wanted to return the unit due to the sound problem, but wanted to clear out my google account info... the factory reset does nothing other than power off the unit, even though that is how they say to clear out all data including the google account data.
7. No auto-rotate. No rotate at all that I can see. Nothing in the setup relating to that, even though the manual says it should be there.
8. Non-US Standard earphone jack
9. No mic or web cam
10. Resistive touch screen makes typing on the on-screen keyboard a PITA. I did get somewhat use to it after a while, but still don't like having to press firmly.
On the positive side:
After manually copying a ripped DVD movie in mp4 format onto my SD card and inserting it into the unit, it played great.
So, first impressions are basically way down there for me.
Some other specs:
- Telechips TCC8900 ARM CPU (on an eval board no-less!)
- Android 2.1 - Update 1
- Build 2010-07-21 (boy did they push these out the door... likely with no testing!!)

they are pushing an update out should be out tonight or tomorrow to fix a couple of the things. i believe the eval board is not correct as someone has found the chinese version of this and it has been out for a while. i just think the cooking of this device wasnt the best. i am just hoping they push 2.2 out on it pretty quickly.

I also got one today
I can confirm the market is not working for me either.. Yes build date is really new. haha.. I'm trying to get apps installed by emailing myself APK's to Gmail but I need something like APKatcher to do it. So so far I've not installed anything, but going into settings, aplications and manage I was able to kill the running apps and speed it up.
So far it's a cool little device. I also lost sound once and a reboot fixed it. haha (interesting) I watched 20 minutes of avatar and it looks incredible and gets much louder than a cell phone.. My 16GB MicroSD card went in fine.
There's a Stylus if you guys didn't figure that out yet. Makes typing extremely easy.
Anyone know how I can install some APK's?

ES File Manager comes Pre Loaded.. you can add any app APK to the SD card. and use ES File Manager to install
Installing Quadrant, and some games right now.. I'll post back

Rainchecks
I got two rain checks tonight. I want to get one for myself and I know my wife will want one if it is cool.
If anybody really wants one and lives in Eastern PA, they have 4 of them in the Reading PA store. That is a little far for me to drive and I like getting a rain check because I can make sure they are going to put out an update to make the market work.
It seems like the early reviews are mixed at best but c'mon...they are $150. I mean, if I can get my 6 year old to watch a thomas the tank engine video on it for a few minutes of peace each day, I have gotten my money's worth.

Dev thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7409528#post7409528

Well I got one yesterday and it is horrible.
I am hoping their support can help me get the screen a bit more responsive.
I mean I have to press on it like I'm trying to push through it.
The manual says there supposed to be a calibrations but there isn't.
The manual says there is an option to allow this to orientate according tot he direction held but theres not.
The manual says that when you charge the device the light should be red in color turning green when fully charged well I charged over night and its still red.
When I turn it on it says 100% battery...
Also I went into market which is like that on my Droid1, Incredible, Droidx... and chose to install a app like dropbox, weatherbug, MyMemo, SlingPlayer and it sis there saying downloading but its not.
I have my wifi connected to the device...
Anyone else with ideas???
I so wanted this to be a iPad alternative!!!
Thanks

I got one last night... I side loaded a bunch of apps from my Incredible... LauncherPro, Pandora, Quick Settings, Android System Info... Awesome Drop...they all work... The weird thing is some of the apps force the screen to Portrait, but i haven't found an app yet to turn it back.. (aside from rebooting)
I noticed the sound is wonky... sometimes it works...
I also noticed something installed called Dev Tools... It has a terminal, a bunch of dev settings, a package browser, sync tester, and some google tools..

I got one today as well. So far, all is not well.
Wifi seems to be an issue. I can connect to my network if I turn off security, but when I enable WEP, this thing just sits here and says 'Obtaining IP Address' and then shows 'Unsuccessful'. I have tons of other devices connected. The problem is not the network.
So, with security off, I played with it a bit. The browser seems to work fine. It defaults to mobile pages and I'd love to turn that off. No Flash as expected.
I also have a problem with sound. When anything produces sound (mp3, video, youtube, even clicking on something) all I get is horrible white noise.
I get constant alerts that things have failed to download. I assume that this is due to the Marketplace issue.
I threw in a micro SD that I had. I have no problems with it sticking as others have reported.
I will admit that this is my first taste of Android. I am a professional developer for other platforms though so I'm not a total knucklehead - just partial.
I hear that an update is imminent. Anyone have any info about this? Will it be done via the SD card? USB?
I REALLY want this to work
Greg
Update:
Looks like a reboot fixed a few things now. I am now connected to my secured network and sound is ok. So now I have a more or less functioning tablet.

You guys aren't having screen issues?

This is posted on the Augen website:
Patch for GENTOUCH78 Tablet (available 1700EST)
Dear Augen Customers (GEN Nation),
Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.
Just to mention a few technical difficulties we have found and are patching are:
the memory size of 284mb not being shown as 2GB will be corrected as this is a glitch in the software.
Android Market place not being able to download apps will be fixed in this patch, as this is a glitch in the software. As of right now the operating system and pre-loaded applications are using .5 Gb so the available space displayed should be approximately 1.5GB.
To solve the issue with the headphone jack being too small for a 3.5 mm headphone connection, we ask you to send us an email to [email protected] with your Name, Adress, eMail Adress along with a proof of purchase. We will be sending you at our expense the 2.5 mm headphones to go along with the unit within 15-20 days. All future products that will be manufactured will have the new patch and a 2.5mm earbud to go along with the unit.
We want to make it a great experience for our customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to make it a great experience at Augen.
Thank you for your support,
Daniel Gofman

Android Stereo Head SWM 8802 Guide

i recently purchased an Android SWM 8802 from eBay. This was my very first car stereo swap. The manual described the software functions, but unfortunately didn't show anything regarding the hookup and connections. Additionally, the manual was in such small print I couldn't read it. I started to photograph it and blow it up, but it didn't seem much easier.
I do enjoy writing how-tos and helping others. Would anyone be interested in such a guide if i were to write it? I haven't tested everything such as the rear inputs for video ( although I am working on that). There are little things I've found such as the insertion of a MicroSD card that, if not entirely scanned first, will only play up to what it has scanned.
I'd like to make it more for newbies as well, or have at least a lowest common denominator. Would it be worthwhile doing this with or without contribution from others, or is it more of a niche thing?

I have a dedicated camera set to a separate dashcam / backup screen, and haven't had to mess with those. I think you may be stuck with that since the monitor isn't controlled by any Android type of software.

I've been thinking about this, but keep in mind I haven't gotten any video on my monitor yet. What is the resolution of the camera? Maybe it's too big or too small so that the reverse guidelines aren't accurate.

phone link issue
hello, i bought the car radio andoid swm 8802 and when trying to connect to phone link - gives me an error to go in mob setting - developpers option - usb debug to allow . but have nothing on my samsung s9+ about that can someone help thank you in advance.

Mine seems to be working ok after a couple of months. The GPS stopped work so I figured it just needed a reboot, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Long press on the main button just seems to turn off the screen. In the end I pulled the fuse out. When it restarted there was the swirling car logo and I had to reset the time and a couple of other things and, lo, the GPS was working again. If it stops it would be nice to be able to reboot without pulling the fuse again.

I have set up the SWM 8802
Some how I switch out of english
I am not able to set the time
I can not get to setup
Does anyone know how to do a reboot to get the factory settings
The reset does not reboot The changes have all been saved

Somehow I have changed the language from english and cant return...
I can not set the clock...It has set eastern time with GPS
I have radio and bluetooth working but can not get to setups
I think I have to reset or reboot the ROM to get to factory settings?
The reset does not reset the ROM changes...
I have looked at posts for 8.01 firmware upgrades but can not figure them out?
Any idea of how to reboot the SWM 8802? I have to start over to return to

Oukitel WP10 - General development and hacking.

I bought the Oukitel WP10 as my replacement for my previous phone, an AGM X2, which is was getting on in age. Reasons for purchase: 5g, ruggedized phone, giant battery, POGO pins on the backside for connecting ???
The phone, physically, is fine, It's giant brick with a big battery, a decent camera and all the usual sensors are there. It as the potential to be a really neat phone....and then you boot it up. Something was and is.....not right. The developers lobotomized their rom. Why? Who knows. Will they fix it? {edit: they did sorta}. The app drawer is missing so the phone dumps all your apps out on the home pages. 3rd party widgets don't work : you can set them up but if you reboot the phone, they don't update. The recent apps tab works with gestures and 3 button navigation but only with the stock launcher, which appears to be launcher 3 but is named quickstep? 3rd party launchers load, but can not access the recent apps tab. Some 3rd party apps refuse to load producing various error codes. The user interface feels like someone had an iphone and tried to model it's interface to this phone. This person did not succeed.
I have emailed the company my complaints and reasonably expect nothing to happen as I am sure the person who did this to this phone did it on purpose. May they be cursed with pubic lice and hemorrhoids.
That being said, if the phone's UI could be fixed, it would be a really nice phone and I have plans to mate those POGO pins with an Arduino or a PI because, let's face it, they aren't gonna make any accessories, are they? But I can make some really neat ones out of an Arduino and a 3d printed cover that fits over those POGO pins.
So the plan will be: 1. Root the phone - accomplished. 2. Compile TWRP against it. 3. Modify the stock rom so it it is fully functional. 4. Begin development of a customizable Android 10 rom. 5. Begin development of an Android 11 rom.
At this time, I can confirm that the bootlooder can be unlocked, you can sideload things with ADB, and a stock rom apparently exists and can be accessed through the Oukitel website. There is some kind of flashing tool too, but everything is in chinese. I downloaded the stock rom and it appears to be the same build as on the phone. I tried flashing just for giggles but kept getting signature errors. There was something in the chinese instructions about coping and renaming some files prior to flashing but I have not had time to figure it out yet as it is all in chinese.
I will be trying to extract the boot img as it appears that Magisk would work if I can patch the boot img and reflash. If/when I am successful, I will post it here. Any help is welcome.

**** 02/03/2021: Well wouldn't you know it, they released an update....so maybe not do this right away*******
Guide to rooting the Oukitel WP10.
disclaimer: I have tried to make the steps straightforward yet detailed. This is a high-risk activity with a high probability of failure.​
Prologue: This guide assumes basic familiarity with ADB, fastboot, sideloading, and booting into your recovery. Please note ADB, fastboot commands will vary slightly depending on your installation, and whether you are a PC, a Mac or a Linux box.
Preplanning: inevitability screwing up your phone.
i. Back up, copy over and otherwise remove any valuable data from your phone. This process will delete all your old data.
ii. Obtain a copy of the stock rom. At the time of writing it is: OUKITEL_WP10_EEA_V10-R11 .zip which is hosted on Mega. You can find it at the Oukitel site -> Downloads.
iii. To reflash the stock rom you apparently need a tool called SPMDT. I am not familiar this tool and the instructions from Oukitel are all in Chinese so this will not be covered here at this time. It may be easier to do all of this using SPMDT. Review chinese Oukitel instructions on how to swap checksums and how to use SPMDT to restore your phone.
1. Install Magisk Manager - this is the tool we will use to root this phone. A more detailed explanation about how it works is here. Download directly on your phone and install or download to your computer and sideload using ADB.
Code:
adb install MagiskManager-v8.0.7.apk
2. Open Magisk Manager and verify that you can install Magisk. This phone does have a ramdisk, is encrypted but does not have a/b partitioning. There are 3 options: At this time, I can't find a TWRP custom recovery and do not yet know how to make one so downloading a zip to load with TWRP is not possible. A direct install seems to be for updating a previous Magisk installation? I am not sure and available information seems ambiguous. This leaves option 2: patch the stock boot image.
-2a. On your computer, open the stock rom and extract the boot.img file. Using ADB, upload it to your phone:
Code:
adb push boot.img /sdcard
This should send it to the users default directory. The /sdcard part may vary.
-2b. Open Magisk Manager on your phone and select option 2. Choose the boot.img file and Magisk will give it the clap.
-2c. Download the file to your desktop. Can probably open "Android Storage" in your file system and copy it over or use the following ADB command:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_mzhsO.img ~/Desktop
Again, the *.img name and your preferred directory may vary and adjust command syntax for your OS.
3. Unlock the bootloader. You must first enable developer tools on your phone and then go to Settings ->System ->Advanced ->Developer Options -> OEM unlocking (turn slider on). This does not unlock the bootloader. It just allows you to unlock the bootloader. To unlock the bootloader, plug your phone into your computer using the USBc cable, make sure USB debugging is on and reboot your phone into fastboot by holding down the vol up and power buttons as the phone reboots. In the bootloader menu, choose fastboot by using the volume up to cycle through the menu options and then the volume down key to start fastboot. When all is ready:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
and a teeny-tiny prompt will pop up asking if you really want to do that. Use volume keys to navigate.
To relock the bootloader later (not now):
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
will button it up again. You might not need this ever.
4. I can't remember if it forces you to reboot at this point but if it does, just boot into fastboot again. Do not try to install the modified boot img file yet. If you do, you will send it into a fastboot bootloop (soft bricking your phone). This happened to me. I then learned that this phone, and I assume, most android phones past Android 8 are protected by Android Verified Boot which is part of a system that verifies that the firmware you are running is legit. In this case, it causes the bootloader to verify the boot and recovery partitions. We have to disable it to install the modified boot img. I borrowed the following commands from these threads here and here and here
-4a. vbmeta.img apparently contains checksums of the boot, recovery and maybe system partitions. The guy from the first link installed a custom vbmeta.img using the command below. I do not know whether this is generic vbmeta, whether it is vendor specific so I did not use the custom vbmeta he created.
-4a. Since I didn't know whether to use a vbmeta.img from another phone, I poked around until I found the 3rd link above which stated that I could just use a dummy vbmeta.img generated by using a python script AVBtool
I cloned it into Pycharm (or your preferred IDE...or you can rawdog it from the command line) from Google's github and ran the script as below:
Python:
avbtool make_vbmeta_image --flags 2 --padding_size 4096 --output vbmeta_disabled.img
-4b. I installed the vbmeta_disabled.img using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_disabled.img
-4c. I then installed the modified boot.img (as discussed above):
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_mzhsO.img
-4d. and rebooted: fastboot reboot
5. The system rebooted into the modified stock rom and I reinstalled everything I had backed up earlier. I confirmed Magisk had given me root access. HOWEVER: SafetyNet failed the ctsProfile check! There seems to be a fix for it here but since I don't know what it means or what it does and since the phone appears to be working, it will have to wait for later.
Epilogue. I am happy to report, that, after a bit of fiddling around, Magisk's Quickswitch module coupled with a very dodgy alpha Lawnchair2 apk I got from APKmirror through their Telegram group has resulted in a mostly functional rom! I now have an app drawer and gestures mostly works with the Lawnchair 2 launcher. Widgets still need to be reinstalled if you reboot. So...it now sucks a lot less.
Gentle reminder: this guide is rough and the result of only 1 pass through. And I screwed it up.

Due to an OTA update being provided from Oukitel it became necessary to learn how to use the SP Flash Tool.
Guide to reinstalling the Stock firmware for your Oukitel WP10.
(the bootloader will remain unlocked if you unlocked it as in the previous post)​I loosely borrowed from the gents at GetDroidTips This process assumes you are using a Debian based linux distro.
​1. Download the stock rom OUKITEL_WP10_EEA_V10-R11. Extract rom folder.
2. Download the latest SP Flash Tool . Extract.
3. On linux, there is an error regarding libpng12 which deprecated in newer versions of linux. For the reckless, a nice person from SO made up a custom .deb to install to fix this problem here. Otherwise you have to manually install it so that this program can find it.
4. Open your SP Flash Tool folder and run flash_tool. A nice little gui should pop up if it runs.
4a. Go to the Download tab and choose "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" as your download agent.
4b. Under scatter-loading file, navigate to the stock rom folder and "MT6873_Android_scatter.txt" should be the only option and choose it.
4c. Reading the windows instructions here recommended unticking the "preloader" in the payload section below these options on the Download tab as it might brick the phone, so I did. I do not know if this is necessary.
5. Turn off your phone. Then plug the USB cord in and hold the volume up key down so the flash tool will detect the device via USB. Can also try holding the volume down key down. Do not press power button like you would if you were planning to boot into fastboot.
If all goes well the flash tool will reflash the stock rom and reboot into stock rom. The bootloader will remain unlocked until you use fastboot to relock in the post above. There was an OTA update yesterday: OUKITEL WP10 EEA_V14_20210118 . The phone UI feels a little snappier but it appears that the stock rom launcher still does not have an app drawer. This might be a Google thing and not a Oukitel thing. However, 3rd party launchers with app drawers now work with 3 button navigation! The recents tab and app drawer appear to be functional. Gesture control still appears to be not functional with 3rd party launchers and some but not all not all widgets will update after a reboot. Cause to be determined. I have not tried to repeat the root procedure above.

hello, I am new and have been looking for threads about rooting c19 oukitel, but seems non exists. How could i start one?

....for phones that have a small user base, you can just start a thread for your phone under general like I did. Xda may be like Stack Xch where you need to have a certain number of posts before you can start your own thread. I don't recall. If so, you will have to reply to some posts first.

Hey Calfax, not to hijack your thread, but I am thinking about getting this phone, would you mind explaining what the new update did and did not fix?

It fixed your ability to use a 3rd party launcher. It did not fix the widgets issue. I think this is an Android 10 issue more that Oukitel specific. Having a phone with an 8000 mAh battery has helped tremendously over the last few days.
The phone does not like to use 4g data and I do not know why.

sup op,
Just got oukitel wp10 today. I have just done a quick read through everything here and am probably going to try and get root going asap.
I have read elsewhere that treble based phones (such as this one) can basically have any treble enabled custom rom installed on them. I know very little about this but is it a concept your are familiar with?
am very glad someone has taken the intitiative here regardless. thanks for that!!
p.s. ditto on the pubic lice and hemorrhoids thing and also for whoever designed the xda app

Also, I bet the 4g issue your having is related to what bands the phone operates on. Who is your carrier?

I have obtained root and have a few nuggets of wisdom to offer regarding OP's instructions. First off BIG THANKS TO OP ONCE AGAIN FOR TAKING THE INITIATIVE!!
1. The first problem I ran into was with creating a vbmeta dummy image at OP's #4a in his second comment on this thread. There is a link to AVB Tools in the first paragraph and what is supposed to be a link to the tool on google's github page in the second paragraph but the link in the second paragraph to the github page is not working, so I defaulted to the first link but the AVB tool on that page, for whatever reason, is not working properly, while the tool on googles github page DOES WORK AS INTENDED.
I think what OP intended to link to was the following: https://github.com/PixelExperience/external_avb
REGARDLESS, I have attached a copy of my vbmeta "dummy" image to this post, so you can just use that instead if you prefer.
2. If you update your phone after isntalling magisk, you will have to go through the fastboot process again, and yes this means YOU HAVE TO DO THE VBMETA STEP AGAIN BEFORE THE MAGISK STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
3. I bricked my phone and was having trouble running the SPFLASH tool, linked in OP's third comment on this thread. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY TROUBLE RUNNING THIS TOOL JUST DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF UBUNTU AND RUN THE SPFLASH TOOL FROM AN UBUNTU LIVE USB. I tried on a couple different linuxes with the right kernel version and still had trouble so just do it from ubuntu live if you are having trouble.
4. If you are stuck in a bootloop like I was, you can still run the SPFLASH tool. Just get the tool setup, press download, then plug in your phone and hold the volume up button as it enters the off-stage of the bootloop, the SPFLASH tool will pick it up and start the flash process if you time it right.
5. OP says he is still having trouble with third part launchers but I was able to get Nova launcher running by installing it, then when holding down on the nova launcher icon on the home screen of the default launcher, there is an option to make nova the default launcher from there. idk if every 3rd party launcher will be able to do this, but Nova was.
6. OP also mentioned having issues with gestures, and pointed to it seeming to be a Google issue, and I have confirmed that it most certainly is, as there is a message in My Nova launcher settings that says:
Android 10 gestures Navigation
Google has not yet made gesture navigation compatible with 3rd party launchers. There is nothing that Nova Launcher can do to change this until a future Android update.

Hard bricked my wp10 with spflash. DO NOT FORGET TO UNTICK PRELOADER USING SPFLASH TOOL.
Hopefully the oukitel people can help cause I have spent hours now trying different fixes and have only managed to get a blank black screen by opening the phone, unplugging and replugging the battery (so technically some progress). But i can't justify spending any more time trying to fix.
This phone is (was) great and its nice to have no restrictions on rooting or whatever but great power/responsibility/etc, u know the drill
kinda surprised there isn't more activity around this phone on XDA though Cuz it is a sweet one.

Has anyone pursued anything further with this beast of a phone?
I have purchased one and used it several weeks now, and did find the operating system leaving a lot to be desired, and really dislike the iPhone-like swiping gestures that I initiate accidentally all the time. My company phone for my job is a newer iPhone with the same gesture motions, unlike my previous employer-provided iPhone.
This WP10 has amazing potential but really could still use a better custom ROM.
And my 6800mah Blackview BV9800 battery outlasts this 8000mah battery.
My biggest complaint so far is the GPS fixing using Locus Maps Pro or Google Maps.
I get a display of a multitude of satellites within view,but within 5 seconds, all GPS satellite fixing disappears on the Locus satellite display screen,and I can no longer get a location fix.
Same problem with Google maps, although I don't have any advanced tools to see the satellites being used as I do with Locus.
With locust, I can refresh the GPS connection and they reappear, but then still disappear immediately. This is very annoying when using a rugged outdoor smartphone for rugged outdoor navigation.
I might be replacing the faulty touch screen interface on my 1-year-old Blackview BV9800 if I cannot find an easy solution for this Oukitel WP10GPS issue.
A custom ROM or updated upgraded ROM would be very nice!
I'm not sure why the battery does not last as long as the Blackview's smaller battery, but I liked the size of the battery on this better than the current flagship Blackview models, and I also liked the more ruggedized case with far more screws securing the case halves together.
The BV9800 was the last of its kind from Blackview, the BV9900 has a slightly smaller battery and a less rugged appearing case, & the new 5G rugged version using the BL6000 is just an upgraded 5G version of the BV9900, same case design, battery still smaller than BV9800.
This is why I jumped ship after 3 Blackview rugged phones and tried out this Oukitel WP10. It has potential to be superior to the BV9800, but ROM issues are making me question switching back to the BV9800.

i think the gesture issue might be an android 10 problem although i dont recall having this sort of problem b4 bricking my phone.
the gps issue i did experience and i can say that on other devices i have seen improvement to gps services from installing custom rom, walking/driving forward while trying to get directions or current location on map app, also enable wifi and bluetooth monitoring (google.says it helps but in most situations/locations i doubt it does)

É possível instalar o gsi treble rom no wp10? Notei vários erros.

Dasaita PX6 SD unmounted on every boot

I've got a PX6 unit running the latest firmware from Dasaita: HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20210311). It's rooted but otherwise stock. I'm running Car Launcher Pro as my launcher, and Poweramp as my music player. My SD card is a Samsung Evo Plus 128GB formatted to FAT32.
After a warm boot, the SD card is not mounted, causing Poweramp to lose all its music. To get it back I have to physically eject the SD card and re-insert it, which is incredibly annoying at the start of every journey.
I have contacted Dasaita but have not yet received a reply.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the PX6 unit running the latest MCU, but only Android 9 ROM (none of the downloaded Android 10 ROMs seem to work) and I have a similar issue with my USB1 not being read always. But USB2 or 3 is always available Would love to know where you got a working ROM? The one from Dasaita website will not load.

You are not missing anything running Android 10.
The most stable working version I believe is 8, all versions post 8 are rushed ported bug fests.
Stop chasing a higher number.

My suggestion is to copy the music (some or as much of it as you can get) from the SD card to the internal memory and set that folder as the primary folder for PowerAmp. These units seem to have more difficulty mounting SD cards, especially higher capacity ones.
I've had a little better luck with having fewer folders with more files than the other way round. By at least having some music files in the head unit storage, this should get PowerAmp playing music sooner and it should catalog the files on the SD as needed in the background once the SD card is mounted.

I've been kind of torn between using the "warm boot/auto sleep" capability vs just having the head unit shut down every time. It seems the "auto sleep" function never brings the head unit back up the way it was when the car was turned off.
Since the cold boot time is so "short" (I use that word rather loosely here) it's probably just as well to let the unit shut down after n minutes/seconds. Like what's the use if the "fast warm boot" requires us to have to fiddle with stuff every time (e.g. popping SD card out/in, etc)?

I appreciate your input! I am not "chasing a higher number", I am just trying to realize the features that were supposed to be in the product I purchased, such as split screens, 1280x1024 resolution and Android 10. Instead I got 1024x600 and Android 9 and very unstable. Navigation link fails to launch Wayze or Google Maps, VLC cannot display any video , they play but there is no video (audio sounds great) and an awful looking radio app.
I hear great things about the stability of the PX6 Android 9 version rk3399-userdebug 9 PQ2A.190305.002 20191210.152625 test keys. Supposed to be VERY stable and fast. Anyone have this version?

Sadly was an eBay purchase that was "NEW IN BOX", but according to the stickers was an Amazon return.. All packing was perfect, I suspect that the purchaser got the wrong unit for his A/C controls.
Dasaita model is HA-5226-MAX6-CP, also shows X002F1YJQ9.
Instructions were clear, all components were still factory packaged, I just want a stable usable preferably factory (unmodified) ROM.
And I'd be happy if I could find a stable A9 ROM. Two weeks of searching and enough is enough.

Mine came with 10, I just updated it to a slightly newer version. Was really hoping not to use internal memory as its a pain copying stuff over when you want to chop & change music around, vs just bringing the car inside and doing it on the computer, especially as updates tend to wipe the internal memory, or require a factory reset (which doesn't preserve userdata on these units)
Will try the cold boot and see if I can live with that, otherwise it may be back to Malaysk ROM (which worked great on my PX5). Anyone know if the issue is resolved on that ROM?
I'm also annoyed that it was sold as supporting bluetooth tethering, but does not actually do so, but turning that option on is what killed my PX5, so I'm reluctant to mess with that.

Just seen that a new firmware is out, so might try that.
UPDATE2: Ignore below. Firmware update didn't fix it.
UPDATE:
Firmware HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20210507)升级包 seems to have solved it, and also solved the issue where Car Launcher wasn't updating track names and album art reliably.
I'll confirm tomorrow when the radio has had more time to idle, but I think this is the fix!
As a bonus, I was able to dirty flash without issue. Had to re-root but that's to be expected.
I first updated the MCU to 3.75B and that did not fix it, so an MCU update probably isn't necessary.

Pumpkin brand PX30 MTCE HT - seeking MCU update

Hi,
I have a PX30 head unit with Pumpkin branding.
I've updated the ROM to Hal9k which is great but the unit often fails to boot sitting on a black screen. Repeated attempts to reset the unit, and it eventually turns on.
Auto sleep is not working either so its always cold boot, even if the unit has only been turned off a few seconds.
I would like to try updating the MCU software but cannot find a file.
The version info is: MTCE_HT_V3.60_1, Aug 14 2020 10:19:07
I have tried to register for manufacturer forum to ask there but didn't get a response for account approval.
If there is a newer version that would be great, equally the same version or an older version that is known to be stable could also help me.
Thanks!

Looks like I managed to answer my own question, I found version 3.71 on a German forum, here is a link to it.

Still don't have the sleep working, if I change it to delay shutdown or sleep it makes no difference and its a cold boot every time. I've checked my wiring and I'm sure the unit is still getting +12v from the car when ignition is switched off.
Anything else I can try or check?

Hello, try if you don't have Default power status - OFF: Factory settings/126/Other/Default power status - set ON or if the radio does not remember saved stations, then set: remember last state.

Hi, I tried this, the power settings don't make any difference.
If the unit is only off for less than say 1 hour, it will boot up again OK. It's not instant on like some youtube videos, maybe 10-20 seconds. I guess this is still standby mode?
If the vehicle is parked overnight, unit will not boot, just get a black screen. It takes several (usually 10+) attempts to reset it before it eventually boots.
This is really annoying, is there anything else I can check? The only thing I didn't change yet is the "customer type" number, would this make any difference?

Changing the customer version is not recommended, serious control errors and sometimes a black screen may occur, but it is up to you if you take that risk. Sometimes a new MCU update will make this change. The last number after the underscore indicates the customer version, MTCE_HT_V3.60_1, the last one is 1 so the customer version will be 1. If you have updated the MCU this may have changed. It is best if you have saved the factory settings in the dmcu.cfg file, with this file the MCU will be updated and all settings will be returned to the original settings. Factory settings - EXPORT button and save the dmcu.cfg file to external storage, if you do not specify a path, it is saved to the root directory by default. If the error was caused by the update to Hal9k, then the problem may be with this update, try to update again with wipe data or reinstall the original ROM. If that doesn't solve the problem, try a different car type in the canbus factory settings. Or the canbus adapter may be faulty.

Thank you, that is helpful. The unit was already doing this before any updates, I was hoping that updating the ROM and MCU would help but it seems to have made no difference.
I don't have a canbus adaptor.
