I have an Arnova 10 G2. On the back it says 101c (first 10 in big size letters, followed by 1c in small size letters).
Could anyone please let me know if this is a Gen 8 or Gen 9 device.
Hey diablo009!
Why don't you have look at their website:
http://arnovatech.com/
Especially the contact data:
http://arnovatech.com/corporate/contact_us.html?country=ua&lang=en
If i got it right Arnova is the budget series of Archos.
In fact these devices look like Archos tablets but i guess they have different electronics inside (Asian low cost SoC's based on Cortex-A8).
EDIT:
I just had a short look into the firmware update file for Arnova 10 G2 and it seems they are using a RK29xx SoC on the mainboard.
These are low-budget ARM SoC's built by a chinese manufacturer:

Unfortunately these chips are not very well documented.
There's another forum where you might find some help:
http://www.slatedroid.com/
There are G1 and G2 devices... AFAIK this has nothing in common with the G8 or G9 series distributed by Archos.
EDIT:
Around the globe you may find even devices like these mentioned here:

Thanks scholbert. I should've made some research before buying this. But one good thing is that my core intention was as a 10" book reader. So that part is good.
I went in their site a few times, but couldn't really make out. I'll try looking more tonight.
Edit: One positive thing it that there was this app called "arctools" that I could use to flash the rooted version of stock rom. Atleast something, better than being stuck with nothing.
pretty sure arnova is Gen 8 based, but I think it may run gingerbread instead of froyo. I don't tthink the arnova series for Gen 9 has been released.

Please read my post... these devices use different hardware inside.
We should be careful not to confuse people again and mix everything up.
Trust me, i looked into the firmware update file (update.img) from their website.
Completely different low level-structure and content compared to the gen8/9 AOS files.

It was not my intent to imply that the hardware was the same, merely to point out that this was released during the gen 8 releases and not gen 9. I would refer the original poster here for more info on their device .

Hello, I wanted to ask if on this forum I can find some alternative software for this phone (Chinese smartphone)?
On this page I found 2 roms and a description of renovation:
needrom.com/download/jeep-z6/
Senior rom working properly, after installing a newer phone shows me a bigger processor and ram, Unfortunately for newer ROM does not work light sensor and motion detector.
Unfortunately, I would prefer something with a better translation, hence my question about some alternative software
can anyone please help me in upgrading my goophone i6+ 5.5 inch with quadcore to a newer version that has android 4.4.2. I cant seem to find a working update. please help senpai's!!!
Same here. I have a Gi6+ V3. I'm bored of JB 4.2.2 but it seems that there are not support for updates from china phones.
BTW How's working your GPS location? My GPS works very fine, but default location is China, so I cannnot lock to any satellite in my continent. Even I can use many apps smoothly on it, I can't use those that require full location access like Snapchat, Google+ and We Heart it.
You won't find much help here with knock off devices. They seldom use official android and often lie about hardware.
As for gps you are out of luck. It won't connect to any sats outside of china.
Thanks anyway for your answer, @zelendel
Hi all,
I have 2 Yotaphones 2 (one for private use, one company). Great devises, especially the business use. Now my son's birthday is coming up and he wants a Yotaphone, too (no iPhone! . Does anyone know what happened to the yotaphone 3? It was announced to be released in Q1 this year in cooperation with ZTE to increase availability and reduce price. Since then (Q3 2015), nothing has happened.
Does anyone know more?
Cheers
Andreas

Based on a few Russian articles I found, it would seem that their new Chinese overlords were not willing to take the risk launching Yotaphone 3 during the original Summer of 2016 launch window. And now that the window has closed, so they have to renew the device specs to match the market. The new estimate would be Summer of 2017 earliest.
Source: http://izvestia.ru/news/632694 (you can get the main idea with Google Translate)
It was confirmed by yota that it's in development. Probably it will be available this year (2017)
The Instagram account of Yota Devices unexpectedly displayed a new post in early march mentioning the 3rd generation of their device :
https://www.slashgear.com/the-yotaphone-3-is-still-coming-or-so-it-seems-06477241/
That's all we get since the time they abruptly went in silent service.
A five inch colour e-ink screen would truly be aweinspiring
With latest news it seems that Chinese stakeholders don't want to put their money for the launching of YotaPhone 3 as of now (which russians have already developed-designed). Hence, postponing its launch obliges YotaDevices to re-do from scratch the designed YotaPhone 3, because hardware components become old rapidly.
Yesterday I saw a YD206 for 95€ on AliExpress and I think it's worth it, expecially with the MM update coming out.
Do you guys know what the teaser on the website is about? Could it really be the Yotaphone 3? I honestly didn't expect that any more.

Waiting for Yotaphone 3 Hisense annunce A2 Ace, i find some information on the web and wrote here.

I'm sorry but that's hardly an article - it just guesses and adds no information to what I wrote above.

There have been a number of rumors around other dual screen phones, none of which I've seen on the market yet. At some point even the Xiami Mi4 was supposed to come with dual screen...
at youtube - hisense a2 at ces 2017
seeing their EPD, got ghosting and black is still "gray". maybe later they will improve it.
for me compare to yotaphone 2 more better but until MM update.. more ghosting..
but for yotaphone 3 teaser image, shape nearly same with hisense a2..
Ok, so the design of yota3 is kind of iphonenish...
here are some related posts

Finally we see it:

Just got the Yotaphone 3 as a gift. Has dual SIM slots (2nd SIM doubles as a TF card).
I can install Google package from it's appstore BUT can't get contact to sync with Google; Google contact apps doesn't work properly.
The 2nd screen only works with Kindle China version only (can log in with US account).
Overall an intriguing phone but not practical for me unless there's a non-China version.
I just received the hisense a2 from China here in United States. And. It seems to work quite well on att with the option to mirror full android on eink. If you cannot mirror the main screen on the eink screen in yp3 this is a mistake in the software design. Yp2 offered full android on the eink side In their latest russian firmware.
I have just bought the Yotaphone 3, however I can't mirror the main screen onto the eink screen of my Yota 3. I have the Yotaphone 2, so would there by a way to port the Yotahub/Yotacover/Yotapanel apps from the 2 to the 3? Also, all the instructions are in Chinese which is slightly annoying. Do you think the mirroring function would be added later by an update? Thanks
Possible YP3 Changes.
Depends on if the same developers (as YP2) are responsible for the updates in YP3 (HK).
In YP2, they prioritized RU versions (not the HK version). But some of the firmware changes/useful addons over time were significant with EU/HK and especially RU.
With the new CN/RU partnership, who knows. I am waiting until someone (preferably in English) demonstrates a good software update with YP3 (and a decrease in price) before pulling the trigger.
Hello there,
Im using smart tv on android 4.4.4 but want to upgrade to 5.0.
