Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.
Assuming you are running unrooted device & stock/OEM ROM's - correct?
Best of luck !
Oh, OK, thanks! the device is rooted( z4root method, OK in 1st chance, no problems) and the Fw is an original upgrade from viewsonic....

has anyone rooted Xperia Pro (MK16i) with firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62?
sorry i am asking as i haven't done it before and i don't want to make anything wrong ..
MK16 roots perfectly with zergRush, no side effects.
//
Use the Easy Rooting Toolkit from Doomlord. There's a thread for it in the Neo Devel (and I think the Arc Devel) forum. Works beautifully on the MK16. For both versions of the official SE firmware. And without unlocking the bootloader.
I know, because I've rooted my MK16a on both firmwares using it.

Temporary re-opened. Please do not open other new threads about Xperia Pro while I find some more information. But you can keep discussion on this. Thanks.
...The Xperia Pro is a Neo with a keyboard, and most internals are common and tips will apply to both.
Even Sony Ericsson themselves handle the Neo and Pro the same in their official support forum:

[Q] Xperia Pro root
Hi Folks,
i guess my Xperia Pro (= Xperia Neo + keyboard, Android 2.3.4) is dying on me, it doesn't start anymore. I am actually not quite sure if this thread should really be here, as this may well be a general problem with SONY Xperia's, mods feel free to move it if so.
Here is what is happening:
Before, when i shut down the phone and connected it to the charger, a kind of BIOS screen flashed up shortly after that, showing 'SONY Ericsson' and then some simple graphics displaying the loading status of the battery.
Now, if i shut down the phone normally, these BIOS screens are not there anymore, and subsequently the phone can also not be started. Here is what i have to do get it working again:
- pull the battery
- wait for 5 - 10 mins
- connect the phone to the charger with NO battery inserted
- wait for the 'SONY Ericsson' screen, then insert the battery quickly
The phone will then startup normally. The following potential problems were checked:
- battery is fully loaded
- SD card removed, to no avail
- SIM card removed, to no avail
Phone is rooted, and has a 1 GB EXT3 partition on the SD card as ROM extension (SD Link).
Strange enough, the phone is also sometimes not correctly recognized on my laptop. If that happens, also SONY's support program for Windows, called 'PC Companion 2.0', is unable to connect to the phone when on USB.
What could that be ? Is my battery dying on me ? That's highly unlikely, because the phone is only 3 months old and i can run the phone for 3 days without recharging, if necessary (Thanks to root, removing facebook and the like, and the app 'SetXperia').
On the other side, the missing recognition from my Laptop would most likely indicate a problem with that BIOS being loaded from the ROM, no ? Do ANDROID phones even have something like a BIOS ? If so, is it made by the phone manufacturers ?
Thank you for helping me out, as i have rooted the phone i can not easily send it to service.
Regards
Christian
ADDENDUM / 0% battery problem related :
It may so happen that my problem is somehow related to the fuel gauge problem reported in this thread here, but i never experience a 0% loading state ? My batter never goes lower than 30% typically, and the restart problem will also happen if the battery status was showing 98% when i am shutting it down. However, it seems that the guys suffering from this do have a similar problem, i.e. the KERNEL not booting when they try to switch on the phone ?
Is it possible that some hardware part in the phone checks the status of the battery, detects it as too low and refuses to start-up, even though the battery is actually full ? But then, why doesn't it start with battery inserted when i connect it to the charger ? I first have to pull the battery, then it will start ?
ADDENDUM 2 / Power Saving App SetXperia messing with CPU clock:
As mentioned above, i am using the app 'SetXperia' to save battery. In 'default' mode it will constantly vary the CPU clock according to real need, in order to save on battery. Can this app confuse the fuel gauge, and my battery show it is fully loaded, while in reality it is almost down ?
Sounds to me like you removed an app that you shouldn't have. This happened to me the first time I rooted my Xperia Pro. Ended up in an endless boot loop.
The fix? Factory reset of the phone via PC Companion. There's information on exactly how to do it in PC Companion.
After it's reset, you can re-root it. Then be more careful about what you remove.

Hi, thanks for the input, but i am pretty sure this is not the case. Here is what i removed, using Titanium Backup:
SONY Sales Demo
Facebook 1.7.1
Facebook Setup 2.0.A.0.2
Facebook Calendar Sync
Facebook Extension 2.0.13
Facebook Notification Publisher 1.0
Facebook Post Viewer 1.0.A.0.3
Fun & Downloads 2.2.3
Moxier Pro 2.4.0
Music Unlimited 1.0.2
SEMC Facebook Proxy 1.0.A.0.7
Games and Applications 1.0.A.0.6
Street View 1.7.0.4
Twitter Extension 2.0.9
UEFA.com 1.0.0
Video Unlimited 1.2.0
Xperia HotShots 0.1.1
Anyhow, i have made a backup of all of them in Titanium before de-installation, so i could restore them if you really think that any of them could have an influence on whether the KERNEL (BIOS) will start after being shut down ?
Hi, here an update on the situation:
It seems as if the problem in fact IS somehow related to the defect fuel gauge, because i could make the following observations:
- sometimes the battery capacity in Android is displayed to be better than 60%, but if i shut the phone down and connect it to the charger, the battery is shown to be almost empty. This is a clear hint that on the Android level there is wrong information on the actual remaining capacity of the battery, most probably a result from the defect fuel gauge ?
- the problems are getting worse if i do recharge with Android running, especially when being connected to the USB port, and they are getting less if i recharge the unit using the charger, and shut off.
However, it is still confusing why the phone can not be restarted even if the battery is more than 50% full. In this case it will sometimes work to start the phone if i simply connect it to the charger (not USB on the Laptop, that hasn't worked for me so far) and wait for a few seconds, but in most cases i do have the use the trick described above, i.e. pulling the battery, connect the charger and insert the battery then.
I would really appreciate any comment from your side on how to solve that problem. Being a professional sales manager in the machine business myself, i am touring literally the whole world, and i need a working smartphone ! If this problem persists, i will have to switch back to Blackberry (which never let me down).
I could possible accept a shorter life time of the battery in some cases, but it s....cks badly if i can't even switch it on !?!
Will using an extra strong MUGEN battery pack help here ? They offer one for the Xperia Pro, i guess with almost 2,5 times higher capacity (3400 mAh) ?
Update:
Meanwhile i have sent the phone back for repair, more precisely to AMAZON's service partner for mobile phones in Germany, w-support.com GmbH.
I had told them to make a backup of all my data before repairing (costs 21,- €), but now they have sent me an email saying they can't do it, and were asking if they should continue with the repair nevertheless ?
If these guys can't even access the phone for a simple backup, i expect something must be seriously wrong, mot likely the hardware is defect ?
Will report here when i get it back, just so you know what the problem was.
Best Regards

RootXperia.zip, flashable in Clockworkmod. Works on every firmware on every Xperia 2011 device. From 2.2 to 4.0.3.
Hi everyone!
I have my galaxy S2 for almost a year now, and I never had a problem. A week ago, I saw on a widget that the temperature of my battery is -10°C. I first thought it was an system error, without any differences for my usual use. When I plugged my phone in, the phone said the battery is too cold, and the loading is suspended. My battery depleted. I bought a new one, and have the same problem. I didn't find anything on forums.
I'd add that I tried to update to the latest android version (4.0.3), wich brings nothing.
I've done a factory reset, it doesn't help me.
My phone is rooted, so I don't know if the support will be free for my phone...
Thanks a lot!

Hi guys,
Last night while i was out at the pub i managed to win a Tokio Tablet from one of those games machines.
I booted it up this morning and found it was running android 2.3.3.
I managed to root it with gingerbreak, superuser works etc...
I was wondering if anyone has every used on of these and if it's possible to flash a different rom to it?
The default rom is so clunky and slow, kinda makes the tablet useless.
Any info would be much appreciated
I think i have managed to find a recovery menu or something similar but when you boot it up while holding the home button it boots onto a screen saying "unexpected updater mode"
also, bump
Try my guide to make a proper recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935162
Tokio freezed on start up please help!
My 10 year old lad won one of these tabs and used it for a few hours. His cousin downloaded a starwars screensaver and all seemed ok. However, we put it on this morning and it gets to the "android" screen at start up and freezes. We cannot get any further. I have tried resetting it through the little hole, I have tried attaching to my pc to see if i can get into it, nothing.
My lad is upset as you would imagine.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

I search a lot spent hours but didn't find official or unofficial ROM for this Tablet. every question is unanswered like how to Flash, Root, CWM
Tokio 2 vanilla marshmallow 5"
Won one at the arcade, disappointed it wasn't 'L', as was looking to root it. But 'M', although with Google Play, doesn't have all the rest of the Mountain View GAPPs, just about Vanilla Android, and boy does it fly. Battery good so far, easily beats similarly spec Alcatel Popstar.
Soft buttons transposed at bottom, but not a biggy. Cleaner on longpress home button. Seems to be better color with big apps like Chrome, Opera etc., but just using bog standard nakedbrowser.com/android for now. There is a 7.5" Tokio iv in the arcade now...may well get it for summer.
Pity there's next to nothing about them in English on the net.
Hey all,
Hope this is the right forum..Im wondering if anyone can help me with this issue,and I ask because Ive seen all you dev's and other android supermen and women do,and help me do some amazing things with the platform...My daughter has a 1st gen Tabeo (an7dg3c) from toys r us (I know it sux) lol but after sending it in 6 times in two years to get fixed and now as our warranty is expired this last time I feel like they screwed us on purpose..The issue it was having was the battery temp would get hot,get stuck on a bootloader,and when I could get a charge for second to turn it on,the battery level would always say 0 then immediately turn off..Im wondering there is anything I can do to install ClockModRecov,maybe flash Firmware? I cant even find the right driver for this.. I heard the same firmware as an Archos Tab..If anyone can help me get this back on fixed and working I have no problem sending a nice gracious donation to help my daughter and I out.Rooting and ROMing for a couple years helped me understand what you all do.Message me! Thanks!!

Hi there. I found a forum specifically for your tablet here (though looks like a ghost town now):
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arnova-7d-g3/
Drivers:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/adb-driver-update-for-archos-arnova-devices/
Custom firmware and installation instructions (MUST have the capacitive touch screen model):
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featu...-capacitive-android-4-1-1-jb-custom-firmware/
However, this could be a risky venture if the tablet is prone to shutting off due to overheating. It's quite possible if you could get the tablet to load that, if it shuts off in the middle of trying to install, it could be a lost cause.
Thanks so much,yea I seen that but its not working somehow..Thanks for your time,im gonna have mto buy a new tablet and trash this..Bad company,horrible tablet...
