Zenithink ZT-180 1GHz 10" tablet

I keep getting an application failed error when trying to move my apps from internal to sd card. I have the new Zenithink2 w/Android 2.2 and it has that option but isn't working. It is failing on all apps, even those I know is movable. Does anyone know how to get around this?

How big is your SD card? Despite claims of 32GB capacity, the device won't see anything bigger than 8GB.
 
You quoted me? we are both saying the same thing. Flash doesn't work on the ZT-180 chip aka ARM V6" yet". Sorry to hear your having so many problems with yours. Maybe you should try flashing the latest framework/image that is available and see if that helps. But calling it a cheap hack, mine is great. I take it everywhere I go now, it picks up WiFi great, battery life is just as they said it would be 3 hours WiFi on 4 hours off but usually it's longer than that. The resolution of the screen is great I have 4 HD/X264 movies on mine and they play flawlessly with a great piccture. As far as the "setup like a cell phone goes" well the rom is based off android 2.2 which is for a cell phone. It just a metter of time before the developers start making custom roms and kernels for it. Apps crashing, live wallpappers is the only app that has gave me a problem like that some apps wont work though becuase they need a 3g connection. But most apps work well. I installed ginger bread keyboard is works really well to type on. All in all I would say this product is a 8 from a scale 1-10.​

8 is a bit high, I'd give it an 8 if it had a better touchscreen.
For HD video and web surfing, it's ok, but some websites don't work well with the Android OS.

What's frustrating is the apps that you cannot install that work on a cell phone with GPS.

I found another strange problem, plugging in headphones causes a hard crash. Many have reported that the device cannot recognize microSd cards above 8GB.I can't figure out how to get HDMI out.

As for Flash -this requires that Adobe works with the manufacturer to get Flash to work on that hardware config. I find this unlikely to happen.

At the end of the day, it's just OK, and my kids will inherit it when/if a good Android tablet is released.

There already is an acceptable tablet, and the price is not outrageous. It is the ViewSonic g-tablet. It has a nVidia Tegra CPU. I know you are in Canada, but it is available in the US at these outlets:

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

The Sears description is wrong, it is not the dual boot tablet. They have been told to change that, but still haven't

There is also a very active community developing alternate versions of Android for this pad:

I would caution you that before installing any of the "custom" ROMs, just let the automatic update install the latest update. I run the stock GUI with the latest update, and it works fine. There is also a version of Adobe Flashplayer that works on this device. It is not officially supported, but who cares!

I posted a video on how to do HDMI out on the zt-180 in this thread it on youtube as well here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QX4-rZOatI
 
I was just wondering if there are any developers working on a custom rom or themes for the ZT-180. It would be nice to see considering there are so many of of out there with this tablet, and if you would put a donate link I'm sure that me and alot of other people would be more than willing to make it worth you while. I have also posted this in developers101 on this forum
 
Hi All,

I have a quick question. Can Zenithink support HDMI in?

What i Meant is, can the Zenithink act as display if I hook it up with Camcorder or camera using HDMI cable.

Thanks
 
ConfusedAndroid - as far as I know it is strictly HDMI out and not in.


ruizimages - no, but someone said Adobe is working on it. Has to do with the processor it uses not the version of Android. If you need flash you could try flash lite (9.1), not sure what you need it for so can not say if lite will work for you.

I know that for this to work you have to be on 2.1 not 2.2
 
Hi, new here, but have a quick question.

I have the Zt-180 running at 2.1 at the moment, and want to upgrade to the 2.2, but the Zenithink.us website is down. Anyone know where I can get the download and can find a good installaton guide as I am pretty new to this type of thing?

Also, at the moment when trying to connect to the internet via WiFi it is showing that I have excellent signal, but when trying to physically connect it refuses to do it, which is very frustrating!

I know loads of people must come and ask for help, so thanks in advance for any replies!

Cheers
David

I actually care. All adobe needs to do is change one slight thing in the next version and it won't work.

I think at this point, a good tablet needs bluetooth, GPS, and official Flash support. It's also needs a better touch screen than the Zenithink -it's really frustrating to type sometimes.

The Zenithink is better value than the Veiwsonic. Already, I keep the Zenithink plugged in while asleep and it's my first device for internet access.

Xoom is the outstanding tablet right now, but seriously overpriced, and after the iPad2 is announced next week, I suspect it will be blown away. If Apple sells enough iPads, website designers will have to avoid Flash, already, many are making the switch. The Apple-Adobe war is one where I'd prefer to see then both lose.

I'm sufficiently impressed with Android to change my mind about the Playbook (when/if it ever gets officially released).

For web surfing, ebooks, enews, PDF reading, MP3 playing*, the Zenithink is fine.

* the trick to avoid a crash is plug in the headphones while no sound app is running.
 
I've not received it yet, but I purchased a ZeniThink 2 on the Web the other day. I can't wait to get it. However, I saw a post that basically said that it was the same as the original ZenitThink but with more memory. This could not be farther from the truth. The ZeniThink uses a Cortex a8 chip while the ZeniThink 2 uses an ARM 11 which is the same as the Nvidia Tegra 2. Too, there are many other changes including-

OS: Google Android 2.2
RAM: upgraded to 512MB DDR2
Hard Disk: upgraded to 4GB
add 1080P HDMI Output Port support
add Android Market
add a Camera of 1.3 mega pixels
add ES Task Manager

Having the ARM 11 chipset means that the ZeniThink 2 can be upgraded to Honeycomb and beyond! I'm really excited by this.

This doesn't mean that the ZeniThink 2 is perfect yet. At the moment the camera only takes B/W photos and won't do video. ZeniThink has promised to repair this and the necessary upgrades will be available on the TENQ site.

I have the ZT-180 V2 the chipset is not a Cortex, which is Arm v7, but is an Arm 11, which is Arm V6. Thats why we dont have flash working on our tablet's. And the Nvidia Tegra 2 is a dual-core processor our is single-core. I love mine I just flashed the latest update this week with the black notification bar its nice I'll post some pics.

I posted this on SlateDroid as well I take not credit for creating it but. But got it to work for our ZT-180 NOTE: this for ZT-180 V2 only.​
  • You do need root to do this.
  • I downloaded Neon Blue version to my pc then moved it to my ZT-180.
  • Next you open a file explorer I used root explorer go to sdcard make a folder call market next go to system/app and find vending.apk long press and move it to sdcard/market.
  • Next go to extracted long press on it and copy then go to system/app and paste then find it long press on it go to permissions change them to all read and only user write tap ok.
  • Next go to data/app and make sure there is not a vending apk there if not your done if so move it to sdcard/market and then reboot and enjoy.

So would the Flytouch 3 be the best option in terms of a tablet to buy ? I am looking for something Sub 200 but if its worth it I would spend the $30 more.
 
It has 3G capability, but likely by USB.

It has a crude G -sensor, the screen rotates automatically 90 degrees.

Good to hear it has a basic G sensor ... would be nice to have a real one .. but actually ... is not as "handy" as in a mobile phone, where many games use the G sensor as input ... but move a 10" 0.8kg, is not so convenient ... but basic function are a must

About the USB 3G ... then the eBay adv is misleading ... till yesterday the 3G was in the main photo of the eBay ... now I see they change it (this sound against eBay policy :mad:), and instead of 3G ... it reports a mystery A1GS ...

In the specs ... USB 3G Module, means nothing ... if not included the external USB (and it is not since is not part of the listed items) ... and if it is not in build (but then it would be explicitly written) .. then put as feature is useless ... every Android with an USB port allow to use an external USB 3G double ...

ps: Anyhow ... anybody has this v2 Tablet ? Can anybody confirm about 3g?
