FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

AT:
What does Volantis mean (Volantisg for LTE version)?
ABOUT:
These are the code names of our tablet from HTC. Google calls it Flounder, it has the same code in custom firmware.
AT:
If I install the Root or Recovery tablet will lose the warranty?
ABOUT:
Yes, to install Root or Recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader, and this operation will lead to a loss of warranty.
AT:
Will there be OpenGL 4.4+ on our device?
ABOUT:
No, because Google is interested in the development of OpenGL ES as an analogue. This is not very disappointing, since games requiring OpenGL 4.4 are presented in insignificant amounts.
AT:Does this device support wireless charging (Qi or equivalent)?
ABOUT: Not
AT:Does this device support OTG?
ABOUT:Yes, but third-party software is required to use flash drives with it.

Common Problems

So, at the request of the workers, under this spoiler, the often emerging shoals in this smart device and their brief description will be collected. They drove.

Build Defects

• Highlights of the display - uncritically in general, is found in most devices, there may be critical cases
  
• The deflection of the back cover in the center - check with the purchase
  
• The poor quality of the physical buttons - stagger, deepen, and so on. Again, the purchase is tracked

Software bugs

• Problems in the work of Skype - so far no panacea has been found, a temporary solution to roll back to an earlier version

Hardware bugs

• Slow charge - noted by many users (mostly non-Rostest). As a solution, use a third-party charger or install a custom kernel with 2A support. For details, use the topic search. Alsosmall user test
  
• Wheezing in the speakers - appeared in some users after upgrading to Android 6.0. We are waiting for corrections from GoogleDemonstration on Youtube
  
• Screen flicker - appears when overheating. As a solution - move the brightness slider, turn on / off the screen. It is natural to cool the tablet.
  
• Poor work of RAM - the tablet unloads browser tabs, does not keep in memory more than three tasks at the same time. The solution is to use a custom kernel, the problem exists from the first firmware version.

Accessories

Attention! Identifiedrarecases of "unsuccessful" update on OTA to 6.0.1!
The first solution appeared on XDA

Detailed description of the problem

During the upgrade process, the process stops with an error and the tablet is not loaded into the system, because "Your device is corrupt and blah blah". It turns out a kind of "semi-brick" and there are two ways left - good and bad. The bad thing is to go to the store if you have a warranty and change / repair. A good one is when you have a bootloader unlocked, or you can unlock it in the developer’s settings (activation - seven clicks on the “Build number” item if anyone did not know). In this case, independently restore the firmware using the Nexus Root Toolkit - for details on the theme of the firmware. In case you have a full stock, and you did not set the checkbox "Factory Unlock" -Alas, the only way is through the SC!there was a solution!
In short, the solution consists in manual OTA firmware - via adb sideload

There are few cases, but in order to prevent them, I recommend ticking the "Factory Unlock" option in the "For Developers!" Settings.

Reason for editing: Modification and decorations

[Fobos & deimos]

Something completely implausible aspect ratio and resolution. Androyd is of course a flexible system, but the optimization for games and games resolution plays a significant role. And why Google reinvent the wheel is not clear.
I think fake.

[mobile77765]

2 GB of RAM and 16 built-in how much can you put these crumbs already!?

[Master VD]

mobile77765,16 GB - for those who have a limited budget.

[Eee man]

Now there is something to choose from.
MiPad as for me, a worthy competitor.

[eighty-four]

The title of the topic would still be better written as “Google Nexus 9 / HTC Volantis”.

No optimizations are needed. Android has no native resolution, and the interface is scalar-raster.

For games all the more.

Well, why so little to put 2 gigabytes of RAM, especially in a 64 bit processor !!!! ????

Google nexus 9

It is not yet clear how it will be called. If necessary, I will correct it. :)

1GB is not enough. A 2GB is enough. Google knows what it does.

[eighty-four]

Speech about the fact that HTC is cut off from Volantis.

And 2 gigs is really small. Especially for those who surf a lot in the internet. Especially since it is primarily focused on web surfing and games.

Something not interesting, it turned out according to the characteristics. Nexus 2013 is almost no way inferior. And the HTTs know how to wring prices.

[Master VD]

[email protected], 22:36

Nexus 2013 is almost the same

In AnTuTu, it gains about 25,000 without overclocking the core. Tegra K1 is gaining about 40,000 ...

And HTT know how to wring prices

Price tags are sticked by Google, not HTC.

5GB RAM. And rememberhttp: //savagemessiahzine.com/2014/03/06/145716/?

In addition, the results showed an unusually high speed of RAM, which is precisely what is connected - is still unknown.

Maybe it is somehow interconnected?

[atom63]

Estimated tablet Nexus 8 from HTC went to India for testing

A mark about importing a prototype of the Nexus 8 tablet in India for testing appeared on the Zauba website. Immediately it draws attention to the fact that the tablet manufacturer is missing in the description, and the United States of America is indicated in the column “country of origin”.

[eighty-four]

It is another. With a 16:10 screen.
