Hi
i just got my Pipo M8 from Spemall.com
it look very good but i have some minor issues , questions :
1. can i calibrate the touch screen ? when the tabket is placed on the table the touch isnt working well
also the rotation doesnt always work .
2.the Battery status allways shows charging 99% , all the time it shows 100% even when its not connected to the wall , i left the tablet in stby mode over night and in the morning is was dead .The games are runing well also the sound is good
what can i do ?
do i need to replace the firmware ?
thanks
TK
Hi,
1. it doesn't seem we can calibrate the screen. Once in my hands, the tablet is working well, but on a flat support the touch screen isn't so reactive
2. leave your M8 plugged to DC one night and you'll calibrate the battery. I've done this and now when the battery is fully charged, the white light shut down, and the tablet indicates "battery charged".
I've had problems with charger : when I was using my tablet while it was charging, the DC connector moves a little, and the tablet stops charging. In fact, I've noticed the little plug was not fully in the tablet, so I've cut less than 1 mm of black plastic and now it stays fully in the tablet, even if I move it while using it.
Another issue : I'm still unable to use TF cards on this tablet. I've tried 2GB and 8GB microSD cards, none are recognized. When I use them with USB adapter + USB cable on the host port, they are recognized... Have you successfully used TF cards in the TF card port with your M8 ?

This is because of very low quality charger supplied with PiPo. You should better throw it away and buy new, better one.
I've disassembled the tablet, and I've identified why the micro SD card does not work. Pins of the socket connector are to short to touch the Micro SD card, the connector is defective... I'm going to buy a new one and solder it instead of the old one.

It's not easy but it can be done without major difficulty.
Less than 5$ for this piece on eBay for instance : http://tinyurl.com/aee9y8j
Edit :
Finally that was a faulty little spring which was the cause of this problem. I've adjusted it and now the TF Card stay in front of the pins and Android is able to use the card ! great !!

- take your tablet from the rear side in one of the two round corners
- insert a nail in the round corner and pull off the corner
- then a thin plastic card, unlock each hook one by one along the edges
you'll find the mainboard, the batteries (that are approximately 2 or 3 mm thick), the connectors that are very roughly soldered, the logic board of the screen...
sorry for those poor pictures :
Brightness issue Pipo M8 3G
I've got Pipo M8 3G, and I have an issue with the screen brightness. When I dim the screen all the way down (minimum brightness) it starts to flicker (seems that lcd backlight flicker). It is very well visible on the white background (while browsing internet) and there is no problem if the brightness is set to more than 20%.
Has anyone got same problem, any solutions how to fix that

Does someone know if the HTC shift can be charged via the USB port?
This might allow: 1) use of an external power supply via USB; b) hot swap of standard Shift battery 3) Emergency power in a pinch...
Should it be possible?

No
The shift needs alot more powere than what a usb port can provide, so it's newer going to happen
Yup = the charger outputs 12 v and USB is of course 5 v - Too bad WOuld have been cool to hot swap the battery though...
another charging-related question
My SHIFT has stopped recognizing when the external power supply is plugged in: no orange LED, no icon toggle, no switch to the plugged-in power management profile. The battery charges okay, so I can live with it, but it is annoying. I suspect a component in the charging electronics has failed, but am curious about alternative theories, and if anyone else has this problem.

HTC Red light of Death
Guys,
I am a service tech for HTC. I would like to tell you couple of things.
When there is red right, Battery will not charge with the chargers (Electrical or USB). It will flash with Car Charger as the charge is high in Car charger.
If you see Red light..your Battery is fine. there is no point of changing the battery.
There are two IC in the motherboard of HTC. One is the Charging IC & the other one is Power Consumption IC. You need to Change the Power Consumption IC, which will cost around 10-20$.
Dont follow unnessary steps as it will affect your PDA ROM sometimes.
YOur HTC will work fine for ever.
thank you for your answer

Guys,

so you said you are working for htc ? if so i suppose you re not allowed to give us some clues about the very specific clio hardware, like the sd card link with the snap vue side..
anyway i think you are very welcome here!
woooooooow ur welcome here defenatly, at least we can pick ur brains with few things, plz plz plz make our shift upto expectations by giving us clues not solution but pointers for making BT and SD work
looking at his lack of spelling and grammer i think he might be a joker especially his last part " YOur HTC will work fine for ever. " erm he would no thats not true if he really worked for them.
tho i hope im wrong and they can get us a shift that works with the odd lil leak of info.

Hello friend,
I am unfortunate I damaged my Shift when power accidentally went in through the USB port thus damaging the power consumption IC in the motherboard. Unfortunately I dont seem to get the replacement part anywhere. You had mentioned that specific part in the post mentioned and I was hoping that you might be able to assist me.
Here is the thread about my unfortunate Shift..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701950
Car power adapter 15-25 for my htc shift is it possible?
Hi to all.
Yesterday I bought via internet a car power adapter like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/15-24V-80W-Car-DC-Power-Adapter-Auto-Charger-Laptop-/180476771054
But my HTC SHIFT can be recharged with 12volts typical so question is:
CAN I USE 15Volts (minimum output from my new car adapter) to power my HTC SHIFT or is just a little bit more. I suppose max 20% more is just good but not more than this.
I must put a zener diode ... to reduce a little bit or as in your opinion I CAN USE IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
Thanks
sullivan2002
Thanks for the idea! I would defenitly put a zener between there just in case. Do make sure you use a high amp zener. I could build a boost converter to get from 5 to 12V but that would cut the amps in more than halve but it could be nice to use an external USB battery to swap my shifts battery. I have 3 battery's so that would be nice. Any idea how much a sleeping shift uses? The converter won't be able to put out more than 200mA becouse of the USB restrictions. Is it possible to keep it from charging when swapping battery? Becose i think that charging uses a lot but a sleeping shift almost nothing(not hibernate).
Guys be very careful when using chargers that are above the Shift's specific power rating. My experience with the Shift confirms that HTC did not think about safety measures when putting the Shift together. I had a small freak accident with the Shift when power entered through the USB port and instead of just blowing a fuse the entire motherboard got fried! You dont want to fry the motherboard coz getting a replacement motherboard is as difficult as swimming across the Atlantic. Ask me how I managed to swim across I will tell you.
So I would advise you to tread very carefully. For me what I did is that I had a 12V, 2A car charger for a different device lying around. I simply cut off the power jack on that car charge and replaced with one similar to the Shift wall charger jack and all is good. Of course you also have to be precise about the polarity. The Shift has several week points that you dont want to mess with
They say that the charger of an EEE PC 901 an the Asus R2H have the same charger as the shift. That is only partially true. The specs on the charger is the same but the shift uses a slightly smaller jack. The eee and the R2H are interchangeble. I have a friend with a 901 and it charges my R2H just fine. Shame becose I have 2 chargers for the R2H and only one wonky one for shiffy.

True it has been confirmed that Shift Charger and eee Pc is one and the same. Only difference is the jack.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502548
So if you have a eee pc or similarly rated charger lying around you can replace the jack and you will be good to go. You can pick the Shift size jack from any elctronics shop. Thats how I managed to rig myself a Shift car charger
Hi new member and new owner of a 4G shift
to answer the OP 's original question of "can you charge off the USB"
it depends on your motherboard, I have a Gigabyte X58-UD4P and with the USB power switches enabled my phone will charge while connected to the USB port
I have 4 PCs set up and my personal rig is the only one that will do this
Now a Lap top is a different story, I would suggest checking with the manufacture
of the Lap top to see if the USB can be used for this function
usb
i charge mine vis pc usb sometimes.
works but a lot slower than the stock charger.
Could you explain if it's necesarry a especial cable or how do you conect the Shift's USB port to a energy usb porwer source?

There is just a place on the PCB for a sim-card slot and also a mini-pcie connector for a mini-pcie datacard, but the parts are not soldered to it.
I don't know if it is possible just to solder the connectors to make it work...

Interessting, do you think it would be possible to mount the LCD upside down? Because i think viewing angles would be better then (like holding the Folio upside down)?

The RAM is soldered directly on the PCB next to the CPU. You can see it for example on picture BILD2363.JPG. On the other side of the PCB (Picture BILD2387.JPG) is space to solder additional RAM chips.

I don't know if the LCD cables are long enough. But even if so you must then adjust the software. Otherwise the picture will also always be upside down. The better way would be to replace the LCD completely with a different one.

The one think i will change is the LCD and possible add some ram! I don't think it will work though.

I don't think that adding RAM is possible. There might be not all parts soldered to be able to solder additional RAM. Even if so soldering so small pins is really hard.....

This should be possible. It looks like it is a standard USB UVC webcam. But you will also have to adjust the software in order to get the new webcam working.
Do you have some images of the connector of the LCD controller? Also, the Touch panel and LCD should be separated, right? (Can't see that on your pictures)

I have not done a dedicated photo of the connector but you can see it on BILD2355. The brown "box" is the touch screen controller and the cable below is for the LCD. It looks like a LVDS interface.
I think it's a great idea to dismount the device. I'd actually dismount the back cover to see the battery and the sim card slot.
I'll post pictures of it later.

Hi DerArtem
Is you device still working after you opened it and made all these pictures?
I did them same so my Folio 100 to see what's inside, but after assembling it again, the display didsn't work anymore. The device still boots up, I can use it on an external TV (via HDMI) and also the touch screen still works, it just doesn't display anything anymore. Any idea what this could be (and if I could get it repaired somewhere)?

Sure you connect everythink in place? I don't see how it could be broken if you just open the plastic case and remove same screws.

I am afraid that one of the cables that connecto the display with the mainboard was jammed and maybe damaged. It could also be the FFC-cable which has been under some stress (not the cable itself, but the side that entered the connector).
The screen is being connected to the mainboard by 3 cables. A round cable with a board-to-board connector (I'm afraid one of the wires of this one has been damaged), a small FPC connector (flexible PCB) connected with FPC-connector (this one is ok) and a FFC(foil) cable, where I saw that the copper on the edge was damaged. I cut of 1mm of the cable to let the connector grip a little further on the cable, but this didn't help.
So... either the electronics on the display is damaged, but I think it probably is one of the cables connecting the display with the PCB.
Just hope I can get it to work again...
Try to re-fit the cables, if it doesn't work pull the cables one by one and test it against a multimeter. Be carefull not to damage it even further.
Allways connect yourselt to the ground (touch a piece o metal will do the trick ) to avoid static discharges on components.
You can try to send it back to Toshiba, but I am not sure it they will aceppted under guaranty.
If you don't have spares it could be real hard to do troubleshooting. Toshiba (and other manufactures too) will replace the entire parts suspected to be faulty and will charge for it, so if you could do it on your own you will save some bucks.
Good luck!

No, the "mini" has a mini USB plug, you want micro.
Anything that has a micro USB plug and the magic word "OTG" will work.
If you've got a spare non-OTG adapter cable to kill, have some time and dexterity,
you can even make one yourself by taking the connector apart and grounding the ID pin.

Hi there,
I am looking for a way to charge my i9100 without using the usb port, as it is broken. I do know some phones have external charging pins hidden under the battery cover - my wife's Nexus S has those. Nonetheless I couldn't find them on my Galaxy S II. Anyone had some experience with this? I do know one can buy and replace the usb port together with the whole bottom circuit board, which would probably fix my problem. But I got the phone for free to use before buying a new one and I did not want to put any money into it

Hi namarath,
I have the same problem. The usb flex cable I bought to exchange the broken one was broken itself, which is common. As a solution I bought an external battery charger for just 5 Euro on Aliexpress. Works fine since I have two batteries. The indicator light switches from pink to blue when charged. Be warned that this light is bright like disco lights

Buying a broken replacement USB port/board assembly is NOT common......buying the WRONG version of the board IS common....There are 4 different non interchangeable versions.
See this guide that I wrote for explanations.....

almost all 3 seconds my g5 discovers a usb wire conection and dismisses the messages after aproximate 1 second (sometimes later, and sometimes before) and this without a wire.
it happens after my mom sat on it and the usb port is now not as tight than before. i got a loose connection if i move the wire back, but that was it.
it wont charge corectly and get many disconects like the usb conection but inverted.
i opened the bottom module but the usb port is fine. there is some gloßy clear film on the pcb and the smal usb contacts. it havent a break, so i think its fine.
i was about to buy the hifi module but i want to ask bevore if the original module is the problem or if its something with the motherboard?
or if i can repair it by my self (reflashing ofw, the new bottom module etc)
if someone got a nice answer, please, answer asap o.o

lol I dont the one that was doing it is hard bricked from obviously failed test.
I checked it pretty good with a jewelers loop I thought it might be a crack from being put on and off so much but didnt see anything
I think it was in the firmware on mine once I downgraded to an older firmware it didnt do it
but i bricked it a day later it happend all the time and everyday though at least 5 times and hour

thanks for your replys, so you think its only the botton piece? i was about to change it with the hifi module. if i buy it its posible that the error disapears?
is it posible that the bottom pcb can shortcut (or so) so that the phone discharges faster?
it even wont fastcharg at all. even if the charge icon apears the phone doesnt load correctly...
forget to mention its the h850 (if i remember correctly)

You said that your mom sat on the phone. Like. On a sofa? Or a hard surface?
If the place your mom sat on the phone is soft like a bed or a sofa then probably the pressure has ben put on the end of the cable and the port itself. The type-c port has mini solders that connect to the pcb that breaks. So just try the Hifi plus module and test it out. If it's fast charging again then Replace the module only.
If the Hifi plus produce the same results (not fast charging/not charging correctly).If you are out of warranty coverage then you could try and take the phone apart and look for the PCB pieces at the bottom that connects to the module. If it's cracked/curved/bent then your motherboard has to be replaced. Hope that clears up for ya.

sadly i buyed it for 180€ and dont know if its worth it to put much more money in it. the motherboard conectors are all fine, the usb-port isnt tight as before now, so i thought the same and riped the bottom module apart. the conector looks just fine to me, thats why i wonder and why i am not sure if a repair is worth it. I thought to solder it anew but its to fine. the pcb is coated with some gloßy stuff, and i think even if i get a hotair solderstation i cant repair it.
yes my mom sat on it while it was on my couch, she even didnt feel that it was there.
the hifi module costs 75€ and the back cover isnt all that nice (many damages in the alluminium) so i want to replace that to if its worth.
i saw today that it doesnt detects usb from pc, it detects itself(?). it says that the otg is used and want to get charged, so it opens the menu to change the usb options. for me it looks like a shortcut but i cant explain how this can happen if its only the type c port. is type c that easy to destroy? easyer than microusb? (i ask because its my first type c device)
thanks for your held and advice

Just go to a store and try a different module.
And i dont recommend the Hifi plus module.
Sure. The headphone jack is down at the bottom and the quality is better if you have the equipment and GIGANTIC music files.
You are using a H850. Just unlock your bootloader and get Viper4android. Save your money, like buying 2 modules for spares if your mother decides to sit on the phone again
Pretty sure the type c is better for the future. I mean. If a micro usb device falls into the same situation as yours then i don't think that the port might survive or replaceable as easy as the G5

you were right, it was the module. my mom buyed a new one on ebay.
and i dont want to unlock it and cfw it, the ofw is fine for me ^^ its like lg thougt about almost every thing, my z5 feels like trash when i operate it
oh, and i think type-c cables areent that easy to brake, against the micro usb i think the port will faster be damaged than the cable, unlike micro usb, and i think this could be a problem for me D:
oh and do you know if it transmit data in 3.0, 3.1 or only 2.0? i got to many diferent answeres

The G5 is the same as the HTC 10
I the type c port on both of them are fully COMPLIANT to the Type-C standards.
But the Voltage on the charging line overrides the Type-C standards of 5 volts, but HTC and LG modifies it so it can go up above 5 volts
Other wise comparing the transfer rate between the my HTC one m8 and my LG G5, the G5 is definitely faster

Jeah, my g5 is feeling faster, but i can be wrong.
What i mean is, if it uses the 3.0/3.1 standart, or uses the port the same like the huawei p10 (it uses 2.0)
I know that androids are way slower than an regular usb stick, but there is a cpu betwen the memory, also no direct writing.
That the one m8 slower is is strange, and that keeps my questioning.
(Urgh sry for typos im reLy not the best in english and autocorrect annoys too)
EDIT:
compliant means fully asigned pins, am i right?

Compliant means it matches the Type-c standards
