SYNET7LP 7" 16:9 800x480, 1GHz, 256 RAM, 2GB IS / 32GB ES, 1920x1080p HDMI, 802.11b,g, 2x USB, Android OS 2.1
Full on going review.. (note I just got this late last night)

Sears/K-Mart Lowered Price .... Veterans Day Special?
Just picked this up in-store for $149.95 plus tax. So far it has booted extremely fast. Trying to confirm the Android OS version. Website says 512MB of memory (which I took as ram) but the box says 256MB. Was told by telephone support that it had a camera but that is not the case (picture on some sites looks like it has a camera but this model my local Sears had does not have a camera).
Too bad about the camera. It may be going back although I like the HDMI output....
No G-sensor! (at least on mine). Have to pick the orientation by upper menu selection (although had to change the setting from automatic to reveal that feature).

Battery life??? Seriously?
I picked up one of these yesterday and was very impressed at first...
As soon as I remove it from the charger (fully charged) the battery drops to 85%. At first I gave it the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to a bug...
After less than two hours of heavy web browsing and full screen brightness the battery was dead... I chalked it up to my usage, plugged it into the charger and went to bed.
This morning at work I turned it on and set up my email. I turned the screen brightness down to low, the display time out to a minute, and disabled wifi. I let the screen time out to, what I assumed, was standby mode and went about my work. I came back a hour and a half later and the battery was at 14%!! I clicked on battery usage and something called 'Cell Standby' was taking up 80%... Now its dead with no way to charge it until I get home (won't charge from usb).
I'll search for a why to possibly disable whatever 'Cell Standby' is but this thing is probably going back to sears TONIGHT!

i was thinking of grabbing one of these, so i emailed them and asked if 2.2 was ever gonna be on option for these tablets. Got this response:

Hello my name is Josh, and I work for Digital Gadgets Customer Service.
I received your email about the Sylvania 7-inch tablet.
From what I understand you want to know when will the 2.2 update will be available.
At the moment I do not have an ETA on it, but there be a software update for 2.2 sometime this month.
You should received an email letting you know when it is available.
If you have any further questions please email me at [email protected].

Mine is sitting waiting for UPS to pick it up. with the possibility of 2.2 that gets me hoping more that this one pans out and isn't a defective POS like the Maylong.

Not too much happening on the Sylvania thread. I got mine today. I will be returning it since I ordered an Archos 70 today, but I will play with it for a few days anyway and comment on my experiences with it here.

EDIT: Oh I see you where you got that from. That is good news.
Fred, did you hear that they may upgrade it to 2.2?

Sylvania
First impressions are that the menu button on the back sucks. There should be one on the front of the device. I did install the Aldiko app the market place without any problem. I just find it annoying that to pull up a table of contents I have to push this small button on the back of the device instead of one on the front.

Should be delivered by the time I get home today.
Yea, I saw that they plan on doing 2.2 (probably get it before I get the official one for my Captivate).
I saw the video about potential upgrade issues. So I' figure I'll load everything up before I do the upgrade.
That Archos 70 looks decent, have to let us know how that one is too.
If I take the Sylvania back I still have a couple under $200 units I might try, If not I guess I move up into the near $300 range.

Sylvania
I spent a few more hours with this thing today. There does seem to be a battery issue with the device. I charged it up for 8 hours last night and within 5 minutes of turning it on I had downloaded the battery booster app, checked the status of the battery, and it showed a remaining charge of 75%. I would say from that point on I got around 2.5 hours of use browsing the internet, reading, and downloading a couple other apps. The lack of a g-sensor/accelerometer was not a big deal for me since I could change the screen orientation using the button provided. Maybe this is more of an issue with some games--I don't know.
Otherwise, I like the weight and balance of the tablet. The screen size is ideal for me to read on and I hold it fairly easily with one hand. The resistive screen works fine with a stylus or a fingernail. It does not work well with the ball of the fingertip, however.
I don't think there is a significant overheating issue. It does get obviously warmer during charging but I am usually holding the edges of the device so it wasn't a big deal.
Assuming an upgrade is forthcoming to 2.2, and assuming it improves the battery life closer to 4 hours, I would say this is a decent tablet. However, assuming the Coby Kyros comes available soon for about the same price, I would check it out first since it has a menu button on the front and because an accelerometer is included.
P.S.
I have stayed away from doing any software updates that may exist to this point. It sounds like they may cause more problems than they resolve.

Got mine last night, yea I have the weird battery meter issue too.
Loaded up a ton of stuff that I had on my Captivate, so far so good.
Did the upgrade and didn't have any issues, was still able to install apps unlike that video that is out indicated.
Also got it rooted with no problem using Z4Root, rooted in about 2 minutes, so I got Titanium Backup on it and CPU Tuner going on it.
So far I'm really liking this and if they keep their promise with the fixes and upgrade this is a sweet little device.

Between rooting it and doing the upgrade the battery issue seems to have resolved itself.
The only thing I have found is certain apps will change the screen orientation for a reason not related to the app and I get the force close warning now and then, but if I click WAIT instead it comes right back.
Funny the only web site that I seem to have a problem loading is XDA, and the XDA app seems to crash every time after I log in.
Other than that, I'm satisfied with this for what I wanted it to be. But I can see myself getting a decent tablet to replace my one netbook once it is out with gingerbread or honeycomb.

Battery
I had charged it 8 hours and it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in the charger and it wouldn't boot up past the Sylvania logo. I performed a reset and was able to boot-up. I then immediately performed the update mentioned in the Sylvania booklet. It is now charging.
I am beginning to to think that the battery booster app that I downloaded doesn't work properly with this device since the readings are always seem dubious. Anyone have a battery app that they think works for their Sylvania?
P.S.
The booklet specifically says to take out the SD card when doing the update or they will be deleted.

Installing apps
After completing the update, everything seemed to be working fine but I just tried to download and install a new app and I am receiving the error message that the SD card can't be found. I have removed and reinserted the SD card a couple of times to verify it is seated properly and the OS is recognizing it since I can use file manager to explore the contents on the card.
At this point it doesn't really matter since I am planning to take it back anyway, but it does seem that the update causes problems.

I got that error immediately after the update, took the SD card out put it back in and it's been fine.
I'm using a 8Gig Kingston card, wonder if the card has anything to do with it?

There are2 usb ports the one is host only.
The other one is non-functioning until they release the net firmware update which they told me is in beta and should be out shorly.

How to reset?
Elmonica - or anyone else who has performed the reset -
How is this done? I see the reset button on the back, but if I press it while the unit is on, the screen goes blank (looks like powering off) and nothing happens.
The documentation online stinks and the manual leaves a lot to be desired. Any feedback is appreciated!

I also stood in line at Toys R Us and picked one of these up for $139.
And I also noticed the battery being chewed up very quickly on what seems like a full charge. For example, used it for 2 hours yesterday and set it down with 61% battery remaining, after about 6 hours of stand by - dead.
Looking at the running processes it appears the dev's didn't disable the cell phone portion of the OS.
aLogCat also reporting loads of fails on the radio buffer:
E/RIL (1957): opening data channel device - /dev/ttyUSB0. retrying...
Also, if you check your running processes and battery usage statistics you'll see the "Dialer" and "Cell" processes running. Not sure why.
I've tried killing these via term but they start back up again.
Maybe killing the WiFi before I set it down will save some juice.

After rooting it I got some battery improvement. But certain apps still time out on occasion and I'll get a run away key stroke while typing that is really annoying.

Have you had a chance to load a different launcher? I loaded ADW and got away from that goofy launcher. One press of the home screen gets you all the apps you have installed and press it again for a screen with widgets. Whats the point of having widgets if they are not on the screen full time?
Now I have to figure out how to disable the cell/radio process for good and also kill that silly yahoo api weather widget.
Next step is to solve how get adb working....

Google play cant work
My Google Play can not running in Runbo X5, and always said: Unfortunately, Google play application store is stopped!
Any body can help me with this problems? Will be highly appreciate....thx

Runbo X5
I also have an X5, which won't let me into the play store. On the odd occasion it will get to the home page, but then brings the message up saying "unfortunately Google play store has stopped"... I have tried a hard reset, resetting the cache, forcing the app to close and reinstalling it.
Non of which works. Please help it is driving me nuts! Thanx in advance Andie

I am still having this problem. No Google play. I have tried the manufacturer and got no reply. This is a great phone for my everyday work, but the backup is less than poor.....

no issues here
Hi,
I finally got my Runbo X5!
Mine was delivered with 4.0.4, and it runs smoothly, however, when I try the update feature I have the same "sim not registered to server" issue.
I used the "many ics root" method, it works on the runbo in normal mode. Just don' forget to disable usb storage mode (mine was in camera mode during the hack). Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to post in that forum to report it's working with this model... it would be nice if someone could report to Bin4ry.
Infos when booting in firmware:
Modem ver: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.P2, 2012/09/25 15:10
UBoot Ver. : 2010.06
Kernel ver: 3.0.13, compiled with gcc 4.4.3

Unfortunately, I havn't found any custom recovery to backup everything so far.

Found new roms for Runbo
Hello,
I just found a page full of official Runbo roms.
I didn't give it a try yet, but it might be a good resource for an interested dev.

Hello guys... I am struggling with my Runbo X5 unit.
I got it three days ago and I have big issue with its battery.
First: it charges SLOW. It is so slow if I am charging it when it is ON. In one hour the battery loads up of no more than 2% of charge.
And when it reaches 99% it stops charging. It actually did charge up to 100% but only once. After that, 99% and so slowly.
It is only me experiencing this?
Thanks!

Update. I was very pissed off this stuff and I tried reverting the firmware back to 201305. Battery went up to 100%.
Now I really want to see if it will be also LOAD fast - that is what really matters.

Hi folks,
did any of you get some custom rom running on the X5 yet? Currently thinking of getting one but would like to at least upgrade to latest available AOSP. From what I got back from Runbo support they don't have anything themselves.
Cheers!

Runbo x5 keep rebooting
Hi. not sure am putting this post in the right place ,am new to the site .
facing issues with a Runbo x5 phone i just receive less than a week.After watching a movie on the phone it got hot and restarted (reboot) it self but didn't came back up and running again.It just keep on rebooting
Than at a point i got image of the Android green man on his back with red flag on top
after this clicking around with buttons,i did a factory reset and it when back to just rebooting ,i later on try to update the phone from the computer using smart phone flash tool , update was good ,but only thing i saw happen different to the phone was some chinese writing , phone still keep on rebooting. Can you help plz. Thanks

I tried to get along with the Google translations for the Runbo website, but somehow this wasn't realy useful so I asked a colleague to translate it. She's not a very technical person, but at least it makes more sense than"Brush tutorial platform":

So, it sounds like the X5 is a big piece of crap at this point.
Overheats on a device rated for 60 degree C, slow performance considering specs and generally a bad user experience with many problems.
Dissapointing for me as my xperia Z just died due to overheat. Looking for a more hard wearing replacement.

How to instal CWM for Runbo x5???
Runbo x5,
Firmware 2.4.4 single SD
Root
Thank

Hey, the x5 isn't a piece of crap! Had mine for 5 months, no problems at all. Much faster than my previous phone, an HTC Titan which had a 1.5 gig processor. Get from 3 to 6 days on a charge, no need for an extended battery or case, tho I do use a screen protector. I'm really happy with ics, so don't know if it can be upgraded to later versions. When I watch a video it gets warm but never shuts down.
Just one tip, when phone has been on a full charge cycle, about 6 hours, I always do a soft reset to clear memory and cache , and I find this helps with battery life.[COLOR="S

Did you root it? Mine has always charged slow, but I noticed that after I rooted it it wouldn't charge past 99%.

I messed up and accidentally deleted my stock recovery. Can anybody give me a link or let me download yours please. Trying to install custom ROMs and instal CWM recover. And yes it's rooted. Thanks!

Whats draing my battery

Hello, I have the AT&T Gear S2 SM-R730A with the recent update that just came out yesterday. Anyways, i have been using it at work and I have to leave my phone in my locker so the watch isnt connected via Bluetooth. It will last only 5 hours this way and this is with a few texts and emails and no calls. I tried shutting Bluetooth off and still same drain. I also shut off gps still same. Wifi has never been on and neither has NFC so its not that. Any suggestions?

Something after the update killed my battery overnight (less than 4hrs). I decided to quickly do a hard reset before going to work in an attempt to figure out the issue. Additionally, it’s overheating on both chargers I have. I removed a few apps & watch faces I haven’t used since buying the watch. Battery life is back on par. I’ll probably attempt another hard reset this evening & not rush it.

Im packing this piece of garbage up and selling it. I had for a week and the battery life is horrible.

Another HD reset and better selection of notifications cleared the battery drain and over heating.

I shouldn't have to deal with all this for the price you pay for a watch. I'm paid for it out right I've only had it for 4 days I'm taking it back and buying the LG Google watch

New phone. But it keeps crashing?

Hi all,
So I got a Samsung galaxy s7 from o2 yesterday. It's less than 24 hours old, and it seems to run quite hot!
Sometimes it'll be next to me, I'll pick it up, send a few texts and browse the internet and I can feel warmth/heat coming from just near to the camera.
It's also frozen on three occasions where I've been on chrome. The screen and all buttons become completely unresponsive, and even holding the power button down doesn't do anything, for a while at least.
I've read on Google factory resetting can help, but surely that shouldn't apply considering this was fresh as of yesterday? I'm pretty sure my phone shouldn't be crashing and being unresponsive so quickly into its life.
Question is, is this a fault? Or software?

It can sometimes, I would recommend resetting it, giving it some time and if needed taking it back for replacement

Hi. I went through the same issue a few weeks back. Mine was a unlocked uk model brand new.
I did everything from factory resetting, to installing firmware from scratch and nothing helped.
Ultimately for me I believe it was a hardware issue and ended up returning for a full refund.
Also for me I was getting a lot of random reboots.
My model was manufactured in march.
Used the phone info app on Google play to check.
Could you check to see when yours was made.

Hi mate thanks for replying.
Mine was made in April according to that app.
I think I fixed the issue, and it was to do with 'Mediaserver' being the number one thing using my battery up. So I reset the phone, cleared the cache etc and it seems to work fine now with no crashes. It's a shame because the average user would just buy the phone and not even think about doing what I did.
My phone still gets warm though. Did you find that? And if applicable does your new s7 gets warm too?

Mine gets warm too, so I downloaded GSam to monitor the temperature. After monitoring the temperature for a while I realized that my nexus 5 runs hotter but I don't notice it cause it's made out of plastic instead of metal/glass.

Yours is rooted? Why is Knox flipped?

Yes, it is or was. I was having the problems before rooting and after rooting.
Made no difference at all.
Mine was just defective. No software updates made a difference.

I went into o2 store earlier today explained the problem, and because i was in my 14 day period i got it replaced no questions asked. So far even though this phone was manufactured a month prior to the one i returned (March), it seems fine and was only warm downloading the latest updates. Hopefully im on to a winner here!

Hey,
I have the same problem!
I have tried many things but not rooted my phone or did any modificiation.
I found out that I got these problems because of my Spotify App and I am sure the actual version of Spotify causes a big problem deep in the system of the S7.
Have you an idea how I could prove that?
I removed my Spotify App for 2 weeks and had not even one problem. Since I reinstalled Spotify, I get all those issues again

So the new one doesn't get slightly warm after browsing for more than 20 minutes?
Are you using a case?

Slightly warm. Was during downloads etc but not anything abnormal or to worry about. The other handset was clearly faulty.
No case either for now.

Sleep Tracking is weird

Hi all,
I came from Gear Fit2 to Gear S3. The watch is great but the sleep tracking is weird. My Gear Fit2 used to measure almost accurate where Gear S3 is tracking as bits and pieces. I am using S3 from 22 Nov 2016 and I can see lots of break between sleep where I never wake. The gaps are like 30min to 60 mins.
Gear S3 sleep tracking today.

May be the rising bezel got rotated while we are sleeping. But the interesting thing is, it happens almost same time everyday. I think Samsung needs to fix this by software.

So when you call it a night and wear the watch, it automatically knows your asleep??? Coming from the original Gear S you would select "Sleep" then it would go into do not disturb mode.

S2, Gear Fit2 and S3 - all tracks the sleep automatically. There is no way you can set to sleep mode.

Gotcha.. I'll give it a shot tonight. ?

I've noticed the same thing on my S3. Had it since the 20th and only one night has not been broken up. I also haven't found a way to edit the times to combine them.

We shouldn't be editing the sleep data.
Interesting part is, it shows the broken part as Light activity and it's even comes some steps everyday.

I've noticed the same problem. The S3 only captures part of my sleep and sends that portion to S-Health. My Fit2 captures the entire night.

I am having the same issue as well. Hopefully this is a software issue that Samsung can fix.

I have chat with the support Australia, the gave a standard suggestions like reset the device, reinstall Gear Manager and pair it again. I will check with them tomorrow and I have to test the sleeping pattern. I told them, I did all they suggested but didn't do any as you all know, it just waste of time and I don't want to lose my data history.

I haven't had it track mine odd at all... I noticed the notification and looked through it, it looks broken up with light activity in a few areas as expected and the times appear to be accurate. I'm using the T-Mobile Gear S3.

I have my gear s3 taken off from wrist and put on table before I go sleep and it does track my sleep for 2 hours, isn't it crazy?

My problem is somehow fixed. I don't which one fixed the issue. I was using Samsung's red band which came free with my frontier. The holes are different than the stock black band. I put the black back. And also I had horrible battery life. So, I rebooted the watch also. From that day, my sleep activity is solid and perfect as usual. I am wearing the band pretty tight, where I got bruised

I am having a very similar issue. I always wear my Gear S3 now after switching from Fitbit. Fitbit tracked my sleep almost to the minute, whereas this new and "improved" watch tracks about an hour and a half of my 8 hour sleep. I wish there was a fix for this as I am not accurately measuring how much I am sleeping at night, which is one of the main reasons I wear a smart watch to bed...
