I bought a cheap Maxwest TAB-70F Android 2.2 Tablet awhile back (I now have a Xoom). It had a Chinese market so I let my neighbor take a look at it and now it won't power on past the the little green Android. I have someone interested in buying it if I can fix it. Any ideas?
Hey there,

(stucking @ android start screen with the green dude and nothing happens)
Did you found any solution in the past month?
if yes,
i d be very pleased if you could share it with me
best regards, atess

Check Stifilz's All Sony Tab OTA Update Links
WOW that was fast!
Thanks
I hope they give us JB soon :fingers-crossed:
BTW did you root your tablet? i see people having problems in threads also it's confusing how people mix the Xperia with the tablet S
I wanna root the tab but i got it from B & H and it seems to have the splash proof issue or whatever it is, cuz the screen is a bit seprated from the back just a little bit near the multi connector... But Meh, it's more of a marketing gimmick IMO, i won't spill anything on it anyway soooo yeah...
Thanks again for the quick reply
First off, Hi, yes i am a N00B... i hear your groans already :good:
So i finally took the plunge to move to android after many years on Blackberry and have to say for the most part i am glad i did. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy SIII;
Model GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband Version I9300DXELK1
Kernel 3.0.31-836582
[email protected] #1
Build Number
Android revolution HD21.1 by mike1986
I am on the Isle of Man Network (Cable & Wireless Guernsey / Sure Mobile (Jersey) (according to Play))
Whilst i am a techie and have worked in IT for over 10 years i am still finding my way with Android so please bare with me! (I wouldn't for a second fathom that i know enough about development so thought i'd come talk to you guys.. as. well. you develop the stuff i'm having issues with!)
My mate rooted and uploaded a customer ROM for me when i got it and pretty much left me to my own devices, whilst i have only had a play round for a few weeks and downloaded some apps there is a few things that are annoying me (and yes i have searched around these forums, googled the hell outta it and unfortunately the things i have tried hasn't worked for me. So...
the crux of the matter is, there are 2 apps i am trying to get working on my phone but unfortunately there are a number of issues.
Sky Go: initially not showing up in the play store (rectified by the use of PhoneControl and Market Enabler)
When attempting to download i get "This item is not available in your country"
Whilst googling i noticed i was not the only one experiencing this issue and with some help from other frustrated users attempted to spoof the phone into thinking its on a different network codes via MarketEnabler. No dice. (although i can now at least see the 2 apps im trying to d/l. I know it works locally as i use it on my ipad (sorry to swear!)
HSBC Fast Balance: Same issues as above, research unfruitful. I had this app previously on my blackberry (shocker i know) so i know it is available in my region.
I have tried multiple things to try and fool the device into thinking it is somewhere else, i have tried changing my default country in multiple areas thinking this is the problem. No dice
So my guess is that the ROM my mate downloaded was developed in a different country and as such hard coded somewhere into the version, but im just guessing.
Any help/advice you may be able to offer would be most appreciated

Same with Sky Go
There's nothing wrong with the custom ROM your friend installed, but you might be better off going back to the latest stock ROM (XXEMB) for the UK - if you want the phone to work exactly as Samsung intended it to. Android is a wonderfully open ended OS but can be a bit too open ended sometimes.
You can download stock ROMS from links in the general forum and follow (closely) the instructions to flash it via Odin on your PC - or get your friend to put back how he found it.
Hey everyone!
I couple of days ago I bought this phone from alibaba.com because I got a good price for it and the specs where decent, atleast for the price.
So far, it's a great phone. It has one bug though which is that sometimes, not always, the volume will go from mute to FULL and force itself to stay there. Like if you were to try and lower the volume, either via the phone menu, or with the side buttons, it would go back up.
This is kind anoying, and these spasms lasts for maximum 30 seconds, ie after 30 seconds you can normally turn the volume down.
But overall, good phone, would've been better if it wasnt doing that. Anyways, to my question.
I want to install Cyanogen mod on this phone. That is the reason why I made this thread, to ask for help/informationg regarding this process, wether its possible or not.
Here are some information I took from the "about phone" window;
Model Number: N3
Android Version: 4.3.0
Baseband Version: N3XXUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 tue aPR 23 23:00:57 kst 2013
Build number: N3_V1.0_V01_2013
SELinux Status: Enforcing
For specifications phonewise visit this link; turns out I cannot post links yet, but just google "No.1 N3" and their main page will pop out and there are the specs. (I have the 1gb version btw, on their page it costs 199 i think)
So, is this possible? I feel like if this is some kind of software failure, installing cyanogen/or any other rom might fix it.
Also, if it isnt going to fix it, I'd still want my phone to have cyanogen if possible.
Thanks in advance everyone!
issues
Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Porting cyanogen-mod is possible, but just in the way, that almost nothing is impossible.
There is no cyanogen-mod porting so far for the 6589 phones, so you have to port every driver and everything by hand.
If i were you, i would try to flash the newest no1. n3 rom and look if it runs better.
At my No.1 S6 the last firmware solved always every annoying issues from the beginning.
I haven't found a thread about this phone here yet, so i cant give you a link to the latest firmware.
I saw that needrom.com has a rom for the No. 1 N3 so you who had a problem with your phone could maybe use that.
The volume error has seem to have dissapeared now for some strange reason?
Anyways I'm happy, but I still want more discussion about this phone. It's very good actually.
Thanks to the one posted here.
Also, I have no experience with android development so me porting cyanogen to this phone would not work at all
I think i will get my N3 next week.
Now i'm on my No.1 - S6...

From where did you buy it?
Also, please post here with your thoughts of the phone when you get it!
I buyed it second-hand, originally it came from tinydeal.
Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.
How are your photos?
So no.1 n3 dont have any custom rom

You have the white bootanimation or the black bootanimation?
My camera is good actually, cant complain on that.
I can give you all the files required to get the black boot animation "version", as I contacted customer service and they gave me the files.

Well, not yet atleast.
I think something will come up though sooner or later for the N3.
So, has anyone mixtured and experimented with this device?
Looking forward to hearing about your devices.

American noob here. XDA Developer Boocy has some interesting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
I received my No.1 N3 (the lower end $179 version as a matter of poverty) with the black boot animation. I believe it shipped with the updated ROM version on http://www.needrom.com/mobile/no-1-n3-2/ . I didn't use Boocy's backup and root tutorial because the cpu name has a T at the end of it (MTK6589T) and this is Android 4.3.0... it seems this phone needs some time on the market before developers see a demand for custom ROMs and we can get a straight forward fix for the GPS issues.
MTK Droid Tools reference in Boocy's post rooted the phone with the superuser button and SuperSu (after spending 8 hours researching why my MTKDroidTools didn't have a root button as seen in some image searches).
As a noob who spent the past 3 days on this phone, MTKDroidTools rooted the phone, but none of the GPS "fixes" or apps I've found work... and GPS is essential for my job. I've researched other custom ROMs but found nothing. I"m stuck at attempting to go back to stock with the needrom.com version posted above (because I didn't know enough about creating and flashing backups until it was too late).
Please link any relevant guides that have helped you in working with this phone. Keep on Google and let the rest of us know when this phone gets the attention it deserves from the developer community! (Thank you developers!)

I've installed the first version of the stock rom from needrom.com... black boot animation. I'm installing the update, which is what I believe came on the phone, black boot animation. I don't think I've seen the white or know where it came from. I'm not sure where the boot animation is stored on the phone, but I'm assuming it is attached to the ROM and when you flash you get a different animation?
I forgot to mention I have MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.2... and that in rooting by pressing the SuperUser button, I replaced the HBOOT screen with CWM (when you press volume up, power on, and home screen button during boot). Not sure how I did that, but I'm still trying to figure out where the kernel, rom, and recovery screen and recovery ROM are and which one gets replaced with what. Guides appreciated.
Sorry, if GPS is so important for you, i'm afraid to say you got the wrong phone.
No Fix will make a REAL good GPS, because the antennas are not really good.
With EPO and AGPS on, my phone gets a hot fix in less than 10sec, but navigating with maps is nearly impossible.
Finding satellites inside a car with chromed windows is more than hard.
Nearly all china-phones, but specially the clones have bad gps, and i think they always will.
Better buy a better phone than a cheap samsung galaxy grand or something.

Hello,
I had locked my 1 day old phone and struggled alot and kinda ended up damaging my Display
Got black dead pixels which seem to be fading with time? it was a big dot and now they r mini dots! i hope it fixes it self.
also got 1 white patch
Apart form all this i made alot of mistakes and spent my time.
Local market people charge 600rs to fix this problem and take a day, while service centre takes 3 working days.
I wanna create a tutorial which helps all, i seen people posting many tutorials, but trust me it didn't work well and thus i ended up damaging my device too.
Can someone help me make a tutorial? like what sort of tutorial would people prefeR?
i just thought it will help everyone.
