Stream TV has posted a new firmware.
http://elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml
Thanks for info...
Downloaded and loading now. I will report my experience with the new firmware in a while.
For anyone who has not upgraded, please let me know what the build number was on the old firmware. Nothing cosmetic, seems a little slower than the Dexter mod I was running, may have to revert back to that until something substantial occurs with the firmware. There is a new kernel if the previous one in Dexter's mod was based on the December 24th release.
I'm curious about the date of the release not changing although the description of what has changed is at the top of the page.
I just checked, it still says Dec. 24, 2010. I'm not seeing the 1/15/2011 update listed on their firmware page.
The same here ...is the file the new one or the one from December?...what is suppose to be a new build number?
It hard to say because the filename is update.zip. It would be useful if they changed the naming convention to something friendlier. Let us rename the file to update.zip. Anyway that would be a recommendation. Name the file by the release date.
It is the new firmware on the website.
Date is incorrect.
I installed but ido not see any difference...
The update is a new update. Below is the build number of the December update and the current one.
December - PBJ8000.2.0121
January 14/15 I guess depending on where you are - PBJ8000.2.0124
No visual changes, all under the hood. Ad-hoc works without modification I did notice that. I'll keep it installed since I have added the marked to it.
Still does not report external storage correctly.
Still looking for Cifs and some 3g usb dongle support. That would round it out for me.
POS updates...market and google apps are gone after the updates.....

And you expected something different?
Unfortunately they can't include the Market or the google app as Google won't allow them. There is nothing they can do until Google changes the rules or releases a version of Android approved for tablets. This is the case with just about all the Android tablets currently on the Market.
I'm waiting for a ROM that includes the Market and Google Apps to be cooked up by the Devs here before I to the update.

Yeah if you don't understand that stream tv won't be releasing a firmware with market at least on froyo, I don't think you get it. Wait for Dexter of another dev to cook up a rom or learn how to get market on there yourself. before you start calling the updates a POS.
That said has anyone noticed any real changes? So far the only difference for me is that swype FCs on me now.

I will just understand...
Is Google deny Market at any tablets with OS Android 2.2 only?
I heard Viewsonic Viewpad 7 has Google Market
Why eLocity has not?

Froyo was not designed for tablets. The only tablet, 7 inches or bigger, that comes with official market support is the galaxy tab. Well that I'm aware of being available anyway. Google is currently only approving market for phones on 2.2 and the only reason the galaxy tab got approval is a convoluted definition as a phone. or more likely in my mind some backroom dealings between samsung and google. Either way Stream TV has never promised market on the A7 and most of us jumped in knowing that. If you lost market el al by upgrading to the latest firmware that means you were previously running a mod... my guess being one of dexters since I'm not aware of any others.
It seems you were not aware that the mod you were running was not an official firmware from Stream TV and is not supported by them.

That's to be expected. You should be able to add them back pretty easy. How did you put them on there in the first place - via ElocityMod or Manually?

Can you tell me how to put the Market on my A7? I just got one and installed teh updated firmware. Looks like if I install Dexter's mod it will be going backwards on my firmware.

No, Dexter's V1.1 is based on the latest (1/15/11) firmware. If you install that you get the latest firmware plus the Market and Gapps.

Indian 3.1 has hit the OTA scene and brings with it flash update, sd card, keyboard/mouse bluetooth support, and the one that interested me most file manager
I assume that's what can be expected to other regions too.
Any mention of the movie editor? I'm interested to see if we get it here in UK.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Wow it's finally coming. Just about 5 months after the US release.
Anyway, 3.1 really helps make it a comprehensive tablet.
How did I get it? Well, I took it through a VPN, so it's currently on 3.2.
As for te movie editor, the standard WiFi model in India has it, but I'm not too sure the 3G one has it. If I'm correct, that's the scene in the UK as well

More likely to be increasing the pool of Beta testers
I installed the this firmware update. It isn't fixing the WIFI and GPS problem.
Release notes from ASUS:
"Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Firmware: V9.4.2.21 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)
V9.4.2.21 Release Note
1. Upgrade Google Mobile Applications
2. Upgrade Vibe version
3. New browser function which able to keep user’s choice of browser viewing type
4. Enable battery usage data in Settings.
5. New display mode of HDMI output
6. Enable press-able notification in lock screen
7. Support Wi-Fi Ad hoc mode
8. Add new system bar lock function"
Firmware info, may be read under ASUS DL section.
I noticed a small improvement to the known WIFI problem. I can now get "3 WIFI bars" in locations where I previously only got "2 WIFI" bars. Apparently this fix doesn't involve an improvement to the GPS problem.
Despite these known problem, I am actually very satisfied with my TF201.

Indeed, my bad sorry.
anything new?
I just hope that you owners of the TF101G won't get the same bugs we are experiencing at the moment on TF101.
I just don't understand Asus' strategy on this issue, they have lots of ICS TF101, almost everyone encounters issues at one moment or another. It clearly comes from ICS, as HC was rock solid (stability-wise) and they go on upgrading every available hardware as if everything was just fine ... forcing the update without letting customers the choice do it or not.
I use my TF101 for leisure, but I think there are some people around using for work, and the situation Asus created is just unacceptable.
Asus should fix the problem before continuing the deployment.
That was my 2 cents about the upcoming ICS update for TF101G.
Nickola
You are partially right.
Lots of users are not all users, ICS for TF101G has another version: .3; not .11 or .17.
Maybe asus as made some modification on "base" code (example: new cache flush and memory managing) as well as adding the drivers for the 3G.
Some of this new improvements your can find on next new tf101 firmware release.
Moreover, this also means treating people who have spent more, IMHO.
I hope this happen in very short time.
As a general rule that I practice, I won't update any apps the very moment they have a new version & likewise with firmwares. There are bound to be bugs or incompatibility with whatever apps that you might need to use. However, users in the Asus Transformer forum have both extreme ends of the stick, a group that has loads of issues & a group that has wonderful things to say about ICS!
I'm not sure if it's only me as I haven't had the time to ask questions about why Picasa uploading is absolutely impossible with the Honeycomb. I have tried uploading pictures with the native share of Picasa as well as Picasa Tool but could never do it. I figured it has something to do with Honeycomb because my friend has the same issue with his TF101G & this is why I can't wait to upgrade to ICS. I have only gotten the TF101G in February & it has given me loads of productivity in all-day conferences & workshops where it worked more than 8 hours (with dock) even with heavy computing. Best of all, I could multitask & cross reference to get my work done. Yes, I use it heavily for work.

I own one of the ZTE Axon 7 pre-production/prototype phone. You can ask me anything, but I may choose not to answer your question if I think it is a sensitive question. I attached a few pictures below and the noticeable difference is this phone come with on-screen keys instead of capacitive keys.
To begin, I was one of the few ZTE Axon 7 Beta Tester back in April 2016 (I do not work for ZTE). I received this phone one-two months before they officially announce it in China on May 2016. I returned this phone to the company before I left the USA for my summer vacation in May. On October, this phone was given to me from one of the employees in ZTE upper-level management.
This phone is my daily driver and I love it! To clarify, the phone that I have is 2017U and have 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
How did you become a beta tester for ZTE?
Can you install an ordinary A7 firmware on this phone?
And which firmware version/build did you get initially?
Thanks.

The phone was running Android 6 when I first got it. It's just the same build as that you guys have. I was pretty worry when I was trying to upgrade to Android 7 during February since this phone is a little bit different because of the on screen key. However, I'm able to upgrade to the latest firmware like everyone has without issue. I do not root this phone due to the fact that Android has been getting to a point that I can do everything I want my installing app. When I started using Android 2.0, I had to root to get everything I want.
It started one day in BetaBound. I tested one of ZTE's low end devices. After that, I was contacted by them (targeted) to test a "premium device", which is A7. I don't do a lot testing. In 2016, I tested Axon 7 and Netgear Orbi (they contacted me like 9 months prior launch).
What about Axon 8? Have you tested this?

Nope. Don't have any clue about the next one yet.
Hi everyone, I received 2 Galaxy Tab A 2016 7 inch tablets in excellent condition, to keep working for 2 kids.
This device came with android 5, and I'm trying to upgrade to any newer version in an attempt to use google family control, and improve app compatibility.
I would like to know where I can look for an odin rom to see if the compatibility with this model, has anyone used it here?
