Guest perz750 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Hi all. Hope someone can asist me. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to Android. I bought a P10AN01 and dock from Ebay for my disabled son. He loves it and It still has the Android it came with installed and all runs fine, has flash etc. It seems pretty quick although I only have a friends Vega to compare it against and she is running the original flashless Android which came with it. The problem I have is that when I connect it to my laptop it doesn't show up at all on Windows. I wanted to be able to access the sdcard to put vids, music and pictures. I loaded an apk from here that tell me what usb mode it is in and this shows as host so I downloaded the app that allows to change between slave and host. When I run this selecting slave the screen just sits there saying it will reboot in a while but that's where it sits for ages. Any ideas or suggestion on what I can do would be appreciated. Also, If I will to flash with advents latest then upgrade to Pauls add-on on PP is there a way I can backup my current Android to reflash if all goes pear shaped. Thanks guys if you can help it would be appreciated.

If you have market access install estrongs file manager. That will let you copy files over wireless from network shares. Or. Go for Paul addon pack. Try to find out first if your hardware is compatible but from what I have read of these devices so far they are all very much the same. Good luck!

I have market and will have a look at estrongs I know someone else has one of these with Pauls addon so i think hardware ok but still would like to know if its possible to back up the current before i try

Guest zzleezz Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Oh yeah. Forgot the backup question :-) On the Vega in settings there is an option called "software tool" that will backup everything. That's if its on your version, if not your options are limited until you get root. With root titanium backup is very powerful if a little complicated. If you are only worried about your apps then maybe install appbrain and register all your apps there. That still means installing them all again but at least you will have a record of what you had. Sorry. For the confusion about dock USB. Wires crossed :-) If you have host USB then maybe a USB stick as a short term solution?
Guest simonta Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I can't remember where, and deleted a long time ago ( think it might be sdcard/Vega media) but there is a Windows install for a sync program. Install in Windows - gives you a very simple drag and drop sync for files that pops up everytime you plug the Vega in. If someone has an unmolested sdcard, can you help ChocolateRobot out with a location? Cheers
Guest SmileyMan73 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Android Manager on the market. Backup and transfer files over wifi. Also FTPServer so you can just FTP files. (Use all the time) Edited January 21, 2011 by SmileyMan73
