Found the fix, thanks

Different screen size/Screen offset if you have a 1024x576 screen
As a general rule Do not flash another bootloader onto your pad unless stated otherwise. It is not needed for regular updates.
If you have a x600 screen it should work out of the box with my roms
If you have a x576 screen you will see an "offset" for your screen, simply launch the GScript application, scroll at the bottom and click on the 1024x576 fix. then reboot.
You have to do that only once
If ever it goes wrong, well that means that you have most likely flashed another bootloader before.
Just put the bootloader for your screen and reflash the rom in that case.
 
I just received my new Superpad III today. System info says it is DISC010 with firmware date 20110530. I am wondering if I should install the Tim4e ROM or wait since I noticed th 4e was based on firmware date of 20110503. I have the 16gb version. Also having problems with Wifi dropping out. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Tim4e is great. I'd recommend flashing it. :)

Hello folks, I am an extreme novice here! I received my SuperPad III yesterday (I don't have any kind of smart phone or anything else like this). I was suppose to receive the Flytouch 3, SuperPad 2, and have contacted the seller (in China) ~ not holding my breath. In the meantime, there are a few issues that I need to resolve to make my pad more user friendly:

1. cannot reset my GPS location ~ weather stays in China (I'm in Texas)
2. my GPS antena will not screw into connector at top of unit
3. WIFI only works well if I am sitting right next to my router
4. how do I find what battery I have

I'm sure I'll find other things, but these are the most obvious. I have read about flashing the unit with Tim's roms, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that ~ I do not have an external SD card yet.

Thanks for any assistance.

This has been addressed exhaustively here and on many other sites, please use the forum search facility...

It doesn't screw, it's a push fit.

See my response to point 1.

There are various apps that purport to give you this information and you could do calculations based on charge current etc. but the only sure way is to open up your tablet and take a peek...

I'd say so, can't see why not. The hardware is exactly the same except for the internal storage. Which i'd say they've just upgrade the internal MicroSD to a 32gb card.

Just one note of caution....on Tims firmware page it says..

- 16GB tablet compatibility

This is because originally TIM's firmware originally wasn't working with 16gb models but he's patched it now to work. This is why it states it's compatible with 16gb models. So it should also work with the 32gb models.

Yes.. I understand that, but the new firmware re-partitions the card and I don't know how it decides to partition the remaining space after making the 'system' partitions.. it might just partition 'the remainder' or Tim might have specified a size...do you know?

It might be that the poster will just loose half his card.. that was the point of caution I was trying to make, not that it wouldn't work
 
Hi smorgan,

Sorry, but every time I see your forum name I am reminded of an old rugby song which is simply not suitable for posting here...

Ah. Pretty sure it's using percentages now but haven't decompressed the latest TIM rom to see. :)

I checked battery usage it tells me that 71% is being used by cell standby as this is not a phone I would like to know how to shut this off. Also how do i get in to flash mode which keys??
Pressing home power back keys only gets me to factory reset power menue does nothing I would sure Like to try one of tim'roms to see if it corrects this my pad is rooted. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

The original firmware doesn't support 3G Dongles but it can be upgraded to add the support. I used s0I's firmware which has superb 3G support. Other people use Tim's 4x firmware which includes the same drivers.

The process is simple and reliable and only takes a few minutes to perform.

I believe there are a number of 'tether' apps on the Market and if run on an Android phone its internet connection can then be shared [with your tablet / PC / Cray XMP] over WiFi.
 
Anyone face this problem? I've install quite some apps and games. until recently i can't seems to find skype from android market so i went on to clear data and force stop Google Services Framework and rebooted my SP3. Now i don't see any apps under My Apps page. So how i can get it back so that update apps will be at ease.
 
tim is back !!!

I'm not sure you're having the same issue that i've encounter but yeah uninstall an apps from market place and reinstall back then you will be able to see all others apps that you've install in the first place.
