[Q] Blaupunkt, cheap & cheerful Android tablet/lost password - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My daughter has one of these (Blaupunkt 800).
Unfortunately she has lost the password to get her past the first screen.
There is no data on board which needs saved, but she cannot now use her tablet.
There is a reset hole and two buttons (on/off and home)
I've tried numerous combinations of pressing the reset button in conjunction with various key presses, with no joy.
Has anyone had any experience of this tablet, or can anyone suggest a combination of button presses which will factory reset the tablet?

How many times do you search for something for three days, then ask for help on a bulletin board, then a few hours later find the answer and feel like a complete fool?
Well that never happens to me!
Well only the once!
Or twice!
OK, a few times!!
Anyway I found this information from data on a number of other sites.
How to enter recovery mode on a Blaupunkt 800.
The blaupunkt 800 is based on the same family of tablets as the TrekStor surftabs.
To get into recovery mode, use the following steps.
1.Press and hold Power+Home Buttons
2. Release the Power button as soon as you see Blaupunkt Logo on Screen.
Now you should be in recovery mode, choose what you want to do by pressing Home Button which will move down the list.
When you get the option you require , just press Power Button to select, and follow the prompts.
In my case I just wanted to factory restore, but you can reboot with different mods, clear caches etc. as with normal android devices.
Good luck
Phil

I've got a Blaupunkt 940 (Cape Town US). I am having a hell of time getting Google Apps installed. I've tried all the Jelly Bean apk's and some services wont even install. I finally found the correct version (I think) and the play store wont' connect to the server. I have internet access, installed framework and login serves apk's. I tried to flash all the google apps via .zip but can not get my 940 to enter recovery mode with the above, it just says update failed. I have updated the firmware of the Blaupunkt using the above method but it goes right into the update menu, not a typical recovery menu with options. My FW upgrade worked fine BTW. Any help with this thing would be great, all I want is google apps! It is android 4.1.1. Thanks everyone!

Hi, can you explain how to install upgrade in blaupunkt cape town 940?
Thanks a lot

Hello all,
I have the same problem with a friend's Blaupunkt Discovery 1001A.
I should reset the tablet because she forgot her gesture. Normally it's easy, just start into Recovery and reset the device.
But I'm too stupid for this. This method above does not work for me.
USB debugging is disabled, too. So I can't work with adb.
Has anyone a working solution for me? I despair of it....
Thanks in advance

[Q] Several issues with my HD2 and am running out of ideas

This week I stalled an app which totally ****ed up my HD2. I don't remember the name of the app, but installing it resulted in the following:
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.
This is all quite annoying so I did a reset to factory settings. However this didn't solve the problem, so I am assuming that dreadfull app I installed did an override on the factory settings.
So the next thing I tried was installing the latest rom from the htc website, which should have been an easy thing. However it failed midway. Now the issue is that my computer doesn't not recognize my HD2 anymore when I connect it with the cable.
So the question is? What do I do now? I was hoping anyone could help me with this problem. Before when I was a student I had plenty of time to search the net/forums for a solution, but now I am working full time and I already spend most of my weekend trying to solve this issue. So please anyone help me out

i have to leave for work in 5 minutes so i won't be able to follow this up...but..
when you say factory reset, did everything else go back to what it was as you bought it?
1- can you get to bootloader (when booting up phone hold the "down volume"-- i think it is down, may be up. try it.)
2- if so you are good.
3- in bootloader flash hspl
4- flash new rom
I performed the factory reset multiple times and by 2 methods.
-setting->return to factory settings
-turning off the device-> press down the volume up/down buttons and press cancel call button
All settings were turned back to the original settings however the 2 problems (1: tilting screens and 2: unable to detect device on computer) did not disappear.
I tried to do what jsmccabe78 said, but my device just booted up like normal. No bootloader screen or anything.
I have anyone else has an idea.
Make a backup of your contact list.
And make a Hard reset!
In difficult situations, you can maybe use/do a "Task 29"
using the second option I described is a hard reset
try reflashing a stock ROM.

now what do you see when you boot your phone? have you tried deleting the settings for your phone on your computer for wmdc/activsync? 0have you tried uninstalling wmdc and reinstalling? try those first.
now, if your computer still does not recognize your phone your next option is to load another rom - whether it is a newer official rom or a customized one (your choice.) if you cannot connect your phone you will need to do this with bootloader.
if you can boot your phone, you can get into bootloader.
to get to bootloader:
turn phone off.
hold "volume down" button key.
turn phone on.
this will get you to bootloader. if this doesn't work, i am out of ideas. you need a new rom and you can flash from an storage card, but you need to have hspl first.
let me know.
now you can 1- flash hspl and 2- flash new rom
Sorry for the late response jsmccabe78. Thank you for your response. I got my phone into bootloader mode which enabled me to make a link to my computer. I ran the stock rom that I downloaded from the htc website and it installed succesfully.
Unfortunately this did not solve the problems I described in the OP.
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.

Also my computer still doesn't not recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader mode. Reinstalling WMDC did not solve this issue.
I am still thinking these issues are software related and not hardware related. But reinstalling the stockrom should have fixed the issues if it was software related shoud it not?
So 2 questions remain;
1) How do I fix the issues in the OP
2) How do I get my computer to recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader
I hope anyone can help me solve this mystery.
Try it with no sd card in and see if you still have the problems? If you do :Take out your sd card and put it into your pc with card adaptor. Then delete the application data folder on your sd card. If that doesn't work make a back up of whatever stuff is on your sd card and then re-format it, then and copy back your apps and stuff. If you had a rough idea of what it was you installed try and leave that out when you copy your files back to sd. If you didnt have much on your sd card i would suggest to just wipe it totally and start again. Hopefully this should sort it, if not im out of ideas. Hope this helps if not soz but thought id try
I formatted my SD card, used the return-to-factory-settings function again and still the same issues. No connection to my computer and all the above issues... getting a bit desperate here...
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?

It is probably too late for you, but maybe it will help somebody else - I have found how to factory reset Omegle PC tablet. Press ALL the keys, except the power button, at the same time (that means - volume up, volume down, home, back and menu keys) and then press Power key. After that tablet started in recovery mode, I had to press volume and power buttons again to enter menu where I had service commands, amongst them is factory reset (wipe all data).

[Q] apk Install Button Not Functioning

My Prime is about to go off warranty so today I attempted to install the Unlock Device Tool app - without success.
The apk opens to the usual dialog - "Do you want to install this application? It will get access to: etc., etc."
The problem is that the Install button at the bottom of the dialog doesn't do anything. (The Cancel button works just fine.) I tried installing from both MicroSD and Internal Storage, with both touch-screen and track-pad, with keyboard attached and without, cold booted too. Nothing helps. And, yes, installation from unknown sources is enabled, though I even tried disabling and re-enabling. Tried installing a different apk and encountered the same problem.
I'm running JB 4.1.1 - 10.4.2.18-20121122. I recall having the same issue on one of the earlier ICS releases but it resolved after a later upgrade.
Can't find any previous discussion on this though.
Would sure appreciate a solution, if there is one. :fingers-crossed:
I found a workaround. Maybe it will help someone else.
I hit the "I" key on the keyboard, hoping that might select the Install option. Instead it selected "Cancel". (WTF?) So I hit the Tab key and the selection highlight shifted to Install. Finally I hit the Enter key and the app installed.
So now I am successfully unlocked, TWRPed, finally rooted again, and ready to try custom ROMs!

[Q] Need an Experts help

Help!
I have a unlocked AT&T Motorola Backflip (I know its old) and have been trying to install Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod7. I go through making a recovery image and use Superuser to do a Wipe All. I then flash from the SDcard the zipped file. Everything appears to work fine. After the reboot the phone comes up in the Home page where I can see the apps ect. The issue is that when the phone goes to sleep or restarts I am at the initial power up screen ( where you would select phone, home or return). It is at this point that the home button fails to do anything. I get a short vibration indicating that the phone recognizes I have pushed the button but nothing else happens. When I restore the recovery image everything works fine.
It appears that the link between the home button and the location of the home page is missing.
I would really appreciate expert advice on how to proceed.
Thanks

CyanogenMod 7.1 mapping
Thanks for the information. If I may pose a follow-up. Based on my description, do you think there is different mapping with Android 2.1.1 and Andriod 2.3.7?
Also, is there a way to tell what mapping is being used in Android 2.3.7 or CyanogenMod7?
I appreciate you help.

Bypass FRP gmail lock in Alcatel Pixi 4?

A family member gave me his old phone which is an Alcatel Pixi 4 6" 3 GB model 8050D. I didnt knew about this protection until it was too late and I wiped all the data so now Im stuck at the FRP and gmail asking "enter your old gmail account"...
After fighting the phone all I can do is enter fastboot mode and connect it to the PC using fastboot mode, I also can add things to the internal storage via USB cable, but adb.exe says that there is nothing connected in fastboot mode, and I cannot turn on USB debugging cause I cant get to settings.
I watched in the internet a video where people use an USB stick with an adapter and they install an apk within it but Im not sure if that will work and I dont have that adapter.
So my question is... Is there any way I can bypass this?
Now that I think, I have read something about 72 hours but I have read already several articles and I dont completely understand what it means. Will I able be log a different google account after 72 hours or is it something else? I dont mind to wait if its the first case.
Thanks you for your help
Note: I have read some about this and since this is an anti theft method and Im asking how to break it I might seem suspicious... I am not a thief but I cant really prove it in here -_-

Hello,
can't you use the setting hotkey to access the keyboard settings and change keyboards? or it directs you to the keyboard app itself?
you must then get the frimwire of the phone and flash it using flash tool
Good luck!
