I wonder if anybody can enlighten me on a couple of issues with the Arnova 10 g2? I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and I am less than happy.
As far as I can tell by searching online the Appslib market pretty much never works - okay, it is Christmas and every kid and his mate has probably just gotten one - but still, I am seeing the same problems reported last year at this time.
More annoying is that it will not connect to Facebook at all. Just keeps telling me there is a server error. It is connected fine to wi-fi at home and I can understand the market being dross, but why won't it connect to Facebook servers?
Anybody have any advice or had the same issues and resolved them?
Don't have an Arnova, but you might check this forum.

Hey everyone,
Last week me and my friend bought a fake iPhone that runs on an Android 2.2.1 ROM with an iPhone interface. There was a version of Skype pre-installed on the phone, but the version got stuck at the sign in screen (after pressing sign in) every time we tried.
After a few days of sniffing around on Google and downloading quite a few versions, we have still got the same problem. On the internet are a lot of posts about this, but there is no clear fix for the problem.
Our carrier is China Unicom, they have a 2G and 3G network and we also have a wireless. Although we came to understand that wifi is not supported on the mobile versions of Skype.
Can anyone help us out with a fix for this very annoying problem?
Cheers,
Bump, any reply would be helpful
This is kinda lame... So many views so little answers?
You've got a phone that nobody has and you can't identify, based on an old OS version ... there really isn't much we can tell you other than: try different versions. It seems like a problem with your firmware, and updating from such an old version would seem like a good idea for security reasons alone... but since this is a phone that doesn't officially exist, I doubt there's a project that creates custom firmware for it.
if you want, i got an skype beta for android, can send you link

I bought this game around 1 month ago. It was a great game i love it very much.
But now I cant find it in my tab's market anymore and when I use web android market it show that it's no longer supported for galaxy tab 10.1.
Anyone played this game and encounter this problem ? Thanks.
It's still on the Amazon Appstore as the #1 game as of yesterday.

Working and updating ok on my tab
This seems to be affecting many varieties of tablet.... I'm wondering if it's to do with the new requirement for WAP access, which I assume wouldn't be available on wifi only tablets. I came upon another thread discussing the WAP issue, where the game developers had replied and said that those permissions were getting removed again, and I've mentioned the tablet compatibility problem there. The thread is:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22039480&posted=1#post22039480
I am using wifi+3G version P7500 tab. so i guess is not the problem. does it have anything to do with updating market in my tab??
is there anyway to fake market into other device ?
I don't think you can fake it unless your device is rooted. I also don't think your market update is the problem, since you see the same error going via the website.
A developer replied to my post on the other thread and said WAP permissions required actual telephony hardware, and that this was causing the problems with some tablets, so it may not matter so much about 3G versus wifi, perhaps it's more to do with whether your device identifies itself to the market as phone or tablet.
For that reason, and also because of the timing of when you first had issues, I would still suspect the latest app update is causing your problem, rather than anything you've changed on the tablet. I'd wait and see if the next update fixes it before you try anything too drastic.
In case you aren't following the other thread... The new update has been released and I can confirm it works fine on my Acer Iconia, so if WAP permissions were causing your problem, hopefully yours should work now too. Good luck!
yup.. it is working now.. i even bought the cranky story.. but it is kinda weird the free version still show not supported ...
Yeah, the free version still has WAP in its permissions, don't know whether it's intentional or another mistake.
Suppose most people with Android tablets have Android phones too, so will end up like myself...trying the free one on the phone and then getting the full one for their tablet.
Anyone experiencing problems connecting to Splashtop. Its behaving rather unsual for me today, plus I think it crashed one of my remote systems as I no longer see it.
No problems for me. I always get kicked off though after being connected for 5 minutes or so. This has been a problem for me ever since the last update.
the kick off problem has been resolved (apparently, haven't had the chance to test) with the new update to the splashtop app on the market, not sure if its same for my cloud version, try updating it if you can (i stupidly bought splashtop before realising it was free >.<)
I own Sony Tablet S since last 90 days but has a lot of problems, it has been at the service station due to its issues for more than 45 days.
The features/functions included are really nice, but the company doesn't care for the customers.
I called and mailed the Customer Care for more than 20 times, but didn't got a revert even once.
I somehow got a replacement, but the same issues were there in that one too.
If not wrong, I got the promises from the Customer Care around 20 times to revert back, but just got 1 revert back.
The major issues I am facing are
1. Wi-Fi disconnects regularly
2. Wi-Fi doesn't have proper range which you can even see in the youtube link as follows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FRb855gBMo
3. The device hangs a lot when loaded, stops responding for a long time and the only solution remains is to Restart/Shutdown
4. The screen doesn't get unlocked many a times even upto 30 seconds after pressing the unlock button.
5. GPS connectivity issue: Connection to GPS only remains if you stay at a place, not if you move anywhere from a particular place.
BUT THE WORST problem I am facing is the WORST COMPANY SERVICE.
The stupids don't just know any status of the problems most of the times.
They promise to call/revert back, but I didn't get any reverts of my e-mails from the 13th of April 2012. I can't understand why is this happening to me ???
Any1 facing any of these issues ???
Please provide me reverts unlike SONY
I have the same problems 3 & 4 as you. And most probably caused by the WiFi connection.
I have sent in my Tablet for repair cause after a month of usage - the battery cannot be charged.
Hopefully the ICS update will solve these few problems.
I'm from Singapore and Sony after-sales service sucks all around the world except USA, Japan & maybe UK. That's where all their customers are at. =)
Sorry to hear you're having problems.
If you've had the same wifi issues with 2 tablets then it's unlikely to be a hardware problem and more likely to be a compatibility or settings issue between your router & tablet.
I'd try connecting to another router or network or if this is not possible look at temporarily removing security and possibly changing channel settings on your router. There are other threads here which discuss some wifi issues. Make sure your router has the latest firmware installed and do make sure you've updated to the latest version of Android for your region as this has been known to help
Wifi will disconnect when the tablet goes to sleep but should connect again within 10 secs or so of waking up Unless you download an extra app which forces constant connection.
With respect to the laggyness and crashing what apps do you have installed? I'd be tempted to point the finger there first before blaming the tablet, might be worth going through them and seeing if you can narrow it down to a dodgy app or one that doesn't like the Sony much. Certainly like above get the latest android.
I hope the issues get sorted swiftly for you.

Wifi is a known unsolved issue the rest is not really nmormal, but why don't you try to contact sony vaio service wich contains tablet s also
Agreed with James. If two tablets have WiFi problems, it's almost guaranteed that is a problem with your network environment, not with the Tablet. I have never had a problem with the WiFi and it always reconnects easily.
Also +1 for the app suspicions. Most of those issues sounds like they could be coming from an app (particularly 3 and 4), so try factory resetting your device then installing apps slowly one-at-a-time, waiting about 24 hours between installs to see if any apps cause this behaviour to return.
As for replies from customer service, I can't help you there since Sony replied to my only support Q within three days of my message. Make sure you have the right address, and then try Vaio Service.

Thanks for reply dude, but you'll really be amazed to know that
My router doesn't have any issue, it has been upgraded to the latest firmware.
To add I connect the same router with 2 Nokia E6-00, Nokia N8-00, Nokia E63, 2 Sony Vaio Laptops, 2 PC with a linksys usb modem, Samsung Galaxy S, Nokia E71, Lenovo Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Walkman Live, a lot Iphones of my customers get connected to it, a lot ipads get connected to it and none of them have problems, why this is the only 1 ???
About softwares, again a shock this is a problem when my Tablet was just opened from the box even, it is still there and I guess will remain forever, and if you guys don't know, just check the youtube link I provided, it explains a lot.
Anyways thanks for the help
And even I use 4 Sony Vaio Laptops and always suggest Sony to my friends and relatives, but this time I faced the worst cause they promised me to revert back almost 20 times, but I got a revert only once. What the f**k
Guys please reply if any of you are facing the same problem or not ???
Hi all,
I recently purchased the archos 80 titanium and have found the WiFi seems to be terrible regarding signal strength and also download speeds when connected to a network, I downloaded the new upgrade that was suggested when I first started the device but this seems to of done nothing, does anyone else have this issue or know of any possible solutions to rectify the issue? I've emailed there tech support but I can imagine there response to the issue when I get 1 that is, that it will be an error at my end and not there's!

I have the same issue (seems to be a known issue looking online) but it seems to be better or worse depending on the access point I use.
I have a Plusnet router at home and it was pretty bad with that but I plugged in a D-Link access point in another room and it seems to like that better. When I'm at work I use a Meraki and works well with that too.
I think it seems to be very fussy with access points. I hope they do release an update for the WiFi drivers or something to give it some extra juice!
It's a shame really as the tablet does actually have the potential to be good, I've come to realise that I don't think it's really a software/firmware issue I just think the WiFi receiver's that are in the tablet are of a poor quality but then again I could be wrong just wish they would release some information of a new firmware and what there suggesting the new firmware would be updating to see if there ever planning on addressing the issue.

I'm going to buy it, is this still a problem after the new update?
thanks a lot!
