I think that's an i2c controller.

I would say not working. It has occasionally gotten a satellite lock in GPS Essentials when left for a long time outside, but doesn't seem to work on the move or indoors. I did tether to my phone while traveling in the car, which had a good GPS lock. Internet worked fine but GPS still didn't, so I don't think just having a Wi-Fi connection is good enough to get the GPS going.

This is a 64 TP shipped to and bought in Germany
Direct GPS signal strength comparison between SGS2 and TF201 in car (non-coated windshield, same as "no windshield" for gps) using GPS Test:
SGS2: 41-26
TP: 21-11
The drive I just took showed one thing very clearly: The time to a fix is SLOW and the signal gets lost so often the TP is UNUSABLE for navigation. I've had my Galaxy S2 running parallel to compare the available signal, and this is a MASSIVE FAILURE.
Does the GPS find any satellites? YES. Does it do so quickly and reliably? NO. DEFINITE GPS FAIL.

I had hoped to be more active and soliciting on this thread...but being out of town and the growing anger at my tab..i've not compiled all the data so far as I should.
My tab seems to be experiencing more issues than the normal person's disfunctional....where factory restoring 2-4 times a day is becoming the norm.
Maybe people have decided that their numbers are the same so they aren't posting which is ok too.
Would a vote be more appropriate?
well off to watch a movie with my niece and nephew and take a break from what's become a telling ordeal..(yes...i'm on vacation so i'm obsessed with making this thing work)
Happy New Year All.

I have a MID purchased from Tradestead.com , Their stock# is a tradestead.com/wholesale-7-capacitive-android-2-3-wifi-4gb-tablet-pc-mid-a10-1-2ghz-consumption_p15297.html PPC-180-2MX
It looks identical to a Bmorn V11, Aldi Minitab, Skytex Alpha 2, goclever a73, LY-F1, etc.
(I have tried all of these FW, but none are working for the digitizer, some are better in allowing some response, others no response at all.
LY-F1 has the ft5x_ts module and was the closest of them all to getting the MID's Digitizer to work right; LY-F1 was perfect in all ways except the gravity sensor was 180 degrees off (hold it and up was down) and left was right on the touch screen.
So, does anyone know how to tweak the module so that I can correct the screen orientation? I am CLOSE...
Here are the specs on the original FW:
Model: Crane-evb-v13
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.36-android [email protected] #4
Build Number: crane_evb_v13-eng 2.3.4 GRJ22 eng.mhc.20111202.113113 test-keys
Same basic specs as mentioned above models and same casing;
A10 1Ghz + Mali400, 512MB DDR3, 4GB NAND, 7" TFT LCD 800x480 5 Point Capacitive, WIFI b/g/n
I really need to have assistance in locating the FW because the seller WILL NOT help and WILL NOT disclose what supplier and or manufacture this MID is from (I have called Hong Kong and China offices, spoke to them and they are nice but refuse and make up excuses as to why they cannot get original FW and upload to their site)
I do have an identical MID (I ordered two) and don't know anything about how or where or if possible to get the driver, etc. So, I have a working MID and the Mystery MID..
As far as I can see is having the need to calibrate the MID; I have searched on how to calibrate via adb shell but I have not found anything really that is helping.
Any help appreciated.

PM me, I may have what you need.
I have recently bought the following items:
1xSamsung MHL adapter
1xHama standard HDMI Cable
in the hope of connecting my Galaxy S2 to my LG HDTV to watch movies but I have encountered some problems.
First the video output on the TV is lagging.Dvdrips and 480p res. plays fine but anything over starts to lag.At 1080p it lags the most( it is watchable but it's very annoying).Everything runs perfectly smooth on the phone, they just lag on the TV.
Another problem is with the phone, sometimes it freezes after I disconnect it from the TV and I have to restart it to work again.
Also if I move the phone too much the TV looses the signal, altough all I have to do is move it again until it gets it back.
My question to xda is what could be causing all of this?
Is it the HDMI cable(poor quality?) or could it be the TV?It is rather old(about 3 years).
Or could it be the HDMI adapter(doesn't connect properly?).
And what about the phone?It is currently running the stock gingerbread 2.3.4 (unrooted) that came with the phone.Will installing a different ROM solve the problem?What are the best ones for this type of thing?
bump
Every so often I have most of those issues but haven't had any lag. I'm running checkrom. I also alternate between siyah and cf root kernels and TV out runs better with the cf root kernel. So, maybe try a different rom and see if that helps.
I have a generic adapter but from what I've read both stock and generic have the same issues.
Also there is a thread somewhere here dedicated to the HDMI adapter. Google and you should find it.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
Thanks for the feedback.I am thinking of installing the latest ICS.To anyone that has it installed, how does it perform when it comes to playing videos and such through HDMI?Any improvements?
Edit:Any good experiences with other ROMS's relating to HDMI output?Please post them.
bump
Will not work at all on my rooted XWLP3 but it worked perfectly on Gingerbread ROM
Thanks for sharing.Looks like I'll have to look for another ROM.
bump
Same lag here. Using Omega v10 ICS 4.0.3.
THinking about to change to another one.
I have some 1080p movies on it and want to see it on TV
Greetings everyone!
Last night I saw on HSN a new Android 21.5 inch Tablet/Monitor with a wireless keyboard mouse running Android 4.0.
First of all I wanted to know if anyone else has seen or purchased one. I searched for the device and I found a couple of YouTube videos showing the devices at tech shows and another one showing a ViewSonic version that was the same as the Acer device. Looks very cool (what I could see of it).
Second, I wanted to know if anyone has one and could give some first hand info about it. Like if it is rooted, can it be upgraded to Jelly Bean, etc.
Any info would be great! Especially if anyone has one and already hacked it! :laugh:
I was thinking about getting one. Oh and I do know that it can be used as an HDMI monitor with touch screen capabilities (Windows 8 is what one video stated).
Thanks! And if I do get one before anyone replies, I will give the low down! :fingers-crossed:
Picked one an Acer in trade, quick check online shows availability at the box store for ~$400. Haven't had much time to play, but my initial impressions are positive.
Colors are bright and viewable at any angle.
Speakers are passable and a headphone jack provides options.
2 USB ports, need 1 for KB & mouse
MicroSD slot, unknown capability but works with my 8gb sandisk
Sometimes feels slightly underpowered, especially if using lwp- not a major complaint.
Chrome & Netflix work fine, so it meets 90% of my needs. Cannot currently install Facebook native app
It does do HDMI in, but not sure about output of touch for windows 8. I'm not saying no, but haven't looked in to it and doubtful.
There seems to be very little info on these things. I did take a quick few stabs at rooting with little success.
Can report:
Was able to install stock Google drivers for adb and bootloader
Could connect to adb and push files unable to run psneuter. Can't remember error but seemed to indicate locked bootloader
Only one physical button, so no "pwr+volume up" type stuff
Able to reboot to bootloader via adb
No display in bootloader whatsoever
Fastboot OEM unlock does not seem to work
Can reboot via fasboot reboot

Fun Gadget with promising Features and a few downfalls.
I got one of these Acer DA220HQL Smart Displays a couple of days ago. I figured I will share my experience so far.
Hardware:
The Screen is well viewable from different angles and it stands solid no matter at what tilt you set it to. You do have to use two hands to tilt it up or downward. The one Button it has is solid. USB Ports are on the right side. HDMI/Micro SD/Power/Ethernet in the back. No VGA or DVI Ports. Mini USB for Touchscreen Support under Windows and Audio Jack are located on the left side. Along the bottom are the Speakers which are loud enough but not spectacular. The swirly silver Cover over the Speakers is in my opinion not exactly beautiful and would have been nicer in black. But that is just an unimportant detail which might not even bother you. There are two holes behind the cover above the Power Button not sure for what that is.
Android:
The Display is running with the newest Update Android 4.0.4 Kernel-Version: 3.0.21-00003-OMAP-Android+ [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 21 15:41:01 CST 2013
Pros: Runs smooth with great Touch Support under Android. Acer delivers a Quick Access Soft button add-on to Access Volume / Settings / Favorites etc. fully customizable. Logged in with my Accounts and was able to install all Tablet Versions of my Apps. I choose Apex Launcher Pro as my Default Launcher and restored successfully my Backup from my Paranoid Galaxy Note all Apex Settings. Android continues to run in the Background. Meaning you can start a download and Switch over to Windows 8 until it is done. With the Display connected via USB to Windows you get Access to the Storage Spaces of the Display to copy things to and from the Display.
Cons: Speakers do not continue to play when switching to Windows/HDMI. Switching between Android and Windows could be faster.
Windows 8:
When connecting the Display via HDMI and USB for Touch Support you get a two Finger Touch Display for Windows. You can Switch between Android and Windows 8 by staying on the On/Off Button for a while until the Onscreen Display (OSD) appears. Under Android you get an Icon to Switch faster.
Pros: Solid Stand for Touch Operation, 1920x1200 Resolution, One and Two Finger Touch support works good in Windows 8 for Primary Display.
Cons: Only two finger Touch Support which means in some apps limited Multitouch Support (Bing Maps 3D etc.), For Gaming I recommend a Gamepad like the idroid:con - Bluetooth Android controller since the two finger Touchdisplay does not react if more than two fingers touch the display. Works in combination with a Multidisplay System (I am currently using 6 Displays inkl. the SmartDisplay) but the Acer DA220HQL can only be used as the Primary Display with Touch Support. Without Touch support or in Mirror mode it will work fine.
Would I recommend this display?
Yes and No. Yes because it is a cool gadget from Acer and is a cheap way to have a Touchscreen for your Computer with added bonus. No because Acers gadget are not always fully up to par (instead of two finger it should have 10 finger support). In the long run that will become a Problem. I owned over the years a couple of those oddities like an Acer C300 Tablet / Acer Iconia DualTouch Screen / and now this Acer Smart Display. They all had their share of problems and I assume over time this will not be different.
Would I buy another?
Yes, for my Grandma since it is perfect for a Skype Station with the Built in Camera. I would love to use Paranoid Android on this Display to adjust DPI Settings and switch to Phone mode but for my Grandma it would work out nicely as it is.
PS: It seems the Viewsonic 220VSD 21.5" Smart Display and the Acer DA220HQL 21.5" Smart Display is the same Hardware just a little different Software.
Nice Setup you got there swiss :good:
Finally Got One
Well we finally got ours from HSN. Wasn't too happy with the delays, but that is HSN (long story short they sent a unit that was defective from some one else's return).
It booted up pretty quick. As soon as I got on to our WiFi, the setup was fast and easy. I got a BIG kick out of using the on screen keyboard (pun intended)
So far it performs very well. I would love to have Jelly Bean. I really got used to the Jelly Bean experience. But that is ok. Netflix was pre-installed and has a nice sharp picture.
Missing root. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't installed HP ePrint yet (the Play Store states that this device is NOT compatible with). I will side load it to see if it works. I will put it through it's paces. I think Google Cloud print works already.
I have alot of things to check out. I just un-boxed this and wanted to give a shout about how it is going.
Oh one plus about this system is (and I am not sure if it is Acer's software or the hardware) the wireless keyboard works GREAT! Unlike other tablets when you attach either a USB wireless or Bluetooth keyboard, this works without having to install a Null Keyboard app. When I unplug the keyboard, the on screen one pops up when it needs to. When you plug the USB back in the on screen keyboard goes away without any user intervention. The only downside is that spelling correction does not work when you long press a mis-spelled word.
So anyway I will be trying things out and report here anything new or different.
And thank you for the info from you other users. My wife and I are going to use this to replace our aging and almost not even useful G4 iMac.
Again if anyone has any updates or wants to share their experiences, I thank you in advance!
I got this unit as well. As a monitor it works well too bad the speakers don't work for windows.
Not too happy with the android part though.
I don't know if the 4.0.4 version is causing this, but there's plenty of apps I can't install from the play store, including Chrome (I downloaded an apk, but that version crashes a lot).
I got in contact with Acer (nl) today and he told me there are no plans for 4.1/4.2 at this time.
Told him to escalate my request and I will be contacted by the product manager next week.
I'll keep you posted!
PS: no windows 7 driver on their site either!

Yeah found that too but unfortunately the Information Acer provides is not exactly correct. For Example they state a Maximum Resolution of 1920x1080. Luckely mine has 1920x1200 which is a important fact.
It is the cheapest Touchscreen I have found so far. In Switzerland they sell for 389 Swiss Francs which is currently 415 US Dollars. The cheapest Full HD Touchscreen I found starts at 499.-
Got the update and Google Play 4.1.6

I got the update pretty soon after getting it set up. I rebooted because I thought there was a crash problem with Google Play, but it turned out that the Play Store updated to 4.1.6 from 4.0.25. Good and bad I guess. I cannot verify it, but it seems that the OS Update may have caused the Play Store to show "Incompatible with your device" on a lot of apps. Not that this is relevant to this post, but we also got a new HP 5520 AIO printer so that we could use it with this (and our other Android) devices. I was sad to see that when I searched for HP ePrint app, I found it only for it to say it is incompatible. I thought "What the hell! HSN was showing that it was easily compatible!" Fortunately on my phone, I have an auto backup on install app (File Expert) and have a copy on my phone which I dump onto my network drive. So I used ES File Explorer to look at my network drive and installed it from there with no hitch at all! I have done this with other apps and they all work fine except some start up in Portrait mode with the screen being sideways on the DA220! We also have a Rikomagic MK802IIIS on our 40" HDTV and I do not have this problem at all!
Now if they put a swivel on the back to allow you to switch it to portrait mode, that would be COOL! (I'll try posting a pic! :fingers-crossed
I think it must have to do with the prop file. But I am just slightly able to understand some of the system level stuff.
I hope some XDA Genius can find a way to root this baby and maybe even a Jelly Bean Rom! LOL :laugh: :fingers-crossed:
Some apps work great even with the 2 point touch screen. Fruit Ninja is a blast on a BIG screen! LOL Some do not work like Stupid Zombies 2.
I have mixed feelings about some of the things. I really am hoping for a Root solution. I miss my AdAway app!
Hope this helps! I will keep updating here with new info when I find it!
so did anyone get this unit with a wireless keyboard and mouse IN the package?
if so, could you take a picture of the keyboard and mouse and post it here?
thanks!

Also I have a Snakebyte idroid:con Bluetooth Android Controller. > http://www.snakebyte-europe.com/en/container-produkte/products/android/idroidcon/ (so far no Modus I tried works with NFS)
Flipboard is a nice Software for the Display. Worth checking out. To check on the Kids or check on the House I recomend IPCam Viewer. For TV, Slingplayer with a Slingbox.
i got an email from acer (nl) yesterday, the guy i chatted with on friday escalated my question about a 4.1/4.2 update to the product manager.
same answer: there is nothing planned
replied to him this device really needs an update because too many apps cant be installed, i downloaded Chrome through apk but it keeps crashing on me.
also, the usb function (to hook it up to the pc) isnt working correctly, as soon as you switch to the monitor side of it, the tablet part becomes unreachable through usb
told him i was very disappointed by their answer and asked him to, if possible, escalate even higher into the organization
will let you know what their next answer is

Chrome seems to be preinstalled on mine and works fine. But you are right a Update would be great and we probably should all ask them for a Update. The switching is unfortunate but since I have multiple Monitors I can Keep it on Android and still use the rest of the Monitors on Windows 8 to connect to Android.
That said I did find that the Monitor is best used as a Android Standalone device in the Kitchen or something like that. You might decide to connect your Windows 8 Notebook from time to time but thats about it. As a Standalone device it is great because of the size. I went ahead and installed one for my Grandma. She is 86 years old and never used a Computer before. She is now able to call the Familie with Skype and even get lost in Flipbook. She basically just clicks all over the place and reads what she finds. But the important part is she knows how to get back to Skype. The Home Button is big enough and the Skype Icon on the Desktop also.
odd that you have Chrome pre-installed, could you please check what version you have installed?
or even better, post the .apk here?
i dont have room to use it standalone and love that it is also a monitor
its almost perfect, just the android version is holding it back
got the keyboard/mouse today, works perfectly, would be nice if i could change the functionality of the mouse buttons tho, cant find anuthing?
I got one too in taiwan few days ago.
I found that it's so annoying and terrible way to adjust the sound volume while watching movies, such as ones from YouTube. Also, no way to root it so far seems to be a big problem for me. I really wanna install a firewall APP to make it safer. So, can anyone please kindly post a way to root this thing? thanks in advance.

Yes I got the Acer wireless keyboard and mouse in the box with mine. I got ours from HSN. My wife wants to ship it back to them because it is limited on Google Play. I am trying to figure out how to root it and hopefully fix that. Anyone tried downloading apps that the play store indicates is not compatible and run them anyway? I have some work great! Others work but are displayed in portrait mode. That would be ok if there was an easy way to tilt the display on its side!
Still looking to see if anyone has rooted this thing. We may just send it back. But I am hoping for new info soon! :fingers-crossed:

So far None of us seem to be able to do so. Hopefully either Acer gets an Update together or we can find someone with enough knowledge to root it. UAE4Droid / Amiga Games run great and are fun for inbetween.
so i sent in a list of apps that arent working on this devicce. they mailed me back that they would test these apps.
today i got another email....
translation:
"unfortunately, it seems that indeed a numbers of apps do not work with this device. the answer however remains the same: there is no update planned"
and now the worst part:
"this is because the purpose of this device is not to support every application thats made available for it"
HUH????
i sent a message back, telling them i was greatly disappointed and that they should make the source for the da220hql available.
not that i see that happen...
@LoveMyAndroid2010: could you please post a photo of that keyboard/mouse?
I unfortunaly didn't backup my stock firmware for my old Galaxy S2 plus (used it for photos with my DSLR camera with DSLR Controller app).
However i installed some stockfirmwares from the net, and none works.
What have i messed up? I used Cyanmodgen the latest one for the s2 and then i switched to [ROM] [N6F26Q] AOSP Nougat (12 Jan 2017)
Anyone have a clue? Been trying for a week not getting it to work again!
Oh, and yeah the camera cable and OTG cable seems to work, since i can connect usb mouse/sticks, and so on.
But the camera is not recognised.
:bump: come on guys, no one knows about this stuff? Shouldn't it be basic for nerds
So obviously this is not a userfriendly forut sometimes.
But the solution seemed to be the OTG Cable was semi-broken. By Semi it means the cable still worked with Usb mouse,keyboard aswell as some memory cards. So i was fooled into believing that it worked.
