    Firmware for android 2.3 dropad A8HD (2nd)

    It is the 2nd firmware for dropad A8HD tablet. If your tablet is built-in android 2.2, please update it with the first android 2.3 firmware first, or this 2nd firmware won't available on your tablet. If ur tablet has been with 2.3, you can use it directly.

    Download the firmware here:

    I didn't download it yet. The supplier said it can be upgraded with TF card and instruction was included in the attachment.

    I've flashed it. First bug: in Gingerbread keyboard when I select Input settings, application crashes.
    The second very critical bug: in any mp3 or film output sound has only one channel (left), the right channel is off.

    Solution:

    1. After flashing new firmware, turn off the tablet
    2. Plug in the earphones
    3. Turn on the device

    Do it only once, then everything will be ok with sound, but it is a bug of new firmware.
    My devices:
    Dropad A8HD on Android 2.3.4 firmware ver. 1.3 [with root and tweaks]
    Motorola RAZR2 V8 512MB (Project Evolution 3 firmware)
    Newman N1 (Custom ROM)

    You are fast, Synergy84, really fast.

    Please, let me do two questions:

    Have they solve the problem with the contact app?
    Do the GTalk and calendar apps work now?

    Thanks.

    Tell me please what do you mean on contact app (if Accounts and synchronization it works well).
    Calendar works, Gtalk doesn't work, it crashes on startup.

    - in sleeping mode wi-fi module shuts down in 2.2, even when I selected in WI-FI settings to sleep never, in 2.3 this problem is solved.

    In new firmware 1.1 RC1 this problem appeared again

    Contact fails

    In my unit, contact app (address book) do not appear. I tried to install from /system/app but it was not possible. In options-account setting, the contacts sync option do not appear (they are calendar sync option, gmail sync option or google+ sync option, but not contatcs). I tried to install another address book app like Go Contacts Ex, but the list was empty always.

    About the calendar, a widget were I can see my calendar works, but there is not the calendar app, and there is not way to change an event.

    About Gtalk, I tought that it did not work because it did not work the contact sync, but if you have the contact sync working and GTalk continues going wrong, then I was in a mistake.

    More bugs in new firmware:

    1. The vibro motor turns on randomly
    2. Because of the phone part is present in the firmware, device always tries to find mobile network which causes the problem that tablet could not fall into sleep mode
    3. WHen device is connected via USB and file copy process is running and tablet blocks on timeout, drives unmount and file copy stops, when device is unlocked again the drives mount and file copy continues.
    4. In sleeping mode wi-fi module shuts down in 2.2, even when I selected in WI-FI settings to sleep never, in 2.3.4 RC4 this problem was solved.
    In new firmware 1.1 RC1 this problem appeared again
    My devices:
    Dropad A8HD on Android 2.3.4 firmware ver. 1.3 [with root and tweaks]
