@TONG and other Friends.
Is the GPAD 30 pin connector the same of the one used by Apple devices?
My problem is tat I lost the cable 30pin to female USB A adapter. With this cable I was using my pen 3G.
I searched ebay, aliexpress and other chinese stores and didn't found this cable available for sell. (do you know any site?)
So; I need to be sure if the Aple 30 pin connector is exactly the same of the used by GPADs, so that I can buy one and use together with a little USB Fem to Fem adapter I already have to connect my pen 3G.
I need some feedback from who have tested the iphone cables in our gpads.
Thank you

Hi Dirtyuga, I have used an Apple 30 pin to usb male connector on my tablet and it works the same as the original I got with my tablet. However, On both cables I have only been able to use them to get both internal and external sd cards to show up on my computer.. so I can transfer files. But with a gender changer connector ( female to female USB) I have not been able to connect an external keyboard or a usb memory stick and get it to work. I am still searching for a solution to it.

Did you boot the tablet with the usb mem. stick already connected? if not, try it.
If you know where to buy the cable with the female USB connector, let me know. I need one.
Thanks

I've tried that but it still does not work. I was told the tablet through the 30 pin connector may not be putting enough power to make the usb devices work. I tried connecting an optical mouse and the light underneath ...it lights up but does not appear on the screen. The cable you are looking should be easily available here in the Toronto Canada area. I do not know where you are. Also you could use a gender changer which might be easier to find.

I am in Portugal and here can't find such cable. I already purchased a USB fem. to fem adapter on ebay and will see if it works as I hope. Thank you

HT PAD1051

I am a newbie to the andriod scene and have recently bought a

new HT PAD1051 loaded with ANdriod 2.2 and firmware created in

February 11. Being curious I of course wanted to upgrade it. The

journey to do so wasn't strainght forward as each machine and

user have their own path. My journey involved lots of deadends

despite reading hundreds of comments on this and other sites.

I have compiled this brief guide so that if your in my situation

you can avoid the problems I had. I wiould like to say that I

found many of the comments on this and other forums extremely

useful but by their nature many deal with specific aspects of

the process rather than the whole. Whilst this is at your own

risk this process worked for me.

1. Firstly either backup your firmware using suitable software

(this is the preferred option - I didn't do this and it wasted

many hours) or download the original M10_05232011_Firmware from

here (Awesome!

q=m10+05232011+firmware+zip&wmid=888&subwmid=41) and keep it

safe. This step is just in case something goes wrong, you'll

have a fallback.

2. Download the android 2.3 firmware here

(Android 2.3 for Gpad Gforce is out!

for-Gpad-Gforce-is-out!)

3. Copy the update folder to your external micro sd card

4. Then save an empty text file using notepad or similar to the

same micro sd card and call it update.txt

5. Turn off your HT Pad1051

6. Put it into recovery mode by pressing your power and down

volume buttons for 3-4 seconds

7. Choose the update from sd card option and wait a few minutes

whilst the update takes place. Some posters recommended

restoring to factory settings at this point, I didn't need to.

8. Choose re-boot. Everything should work except the wifi,

however there is a simple fix. Simply rename the

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.bak (rather than delete it)

reboot and all is well (Thanks tjrq).

9. The only other minor issue I have had is that when the Pad is

brought out of deep sleep it forgets the time and you need to

update the time before you can use the net or market place. A

small inconvenience for the major improvements brought by 2.3

especially on the graphics front - I'm sure that a solution to

this exists or will do shortly but I'm too busy enjoying the

andriod experience to worry.

10. Enjoy!
