Onda have a bad habit of using casing which means the USB connector sits really deep. I don't know is this is the case with this model but I , and others, have had success by cutting back the cover of the OTG cable to expose more connector with our machines. I have a V973.
So after a few days I can confirm this is really a step change in the performance of the A973. A couple of quirks here and there but it's by and large stable , fast and fluid now.
I remain unconvinced the battery life is any better.

Seems they are the real deal.
What are the advantages of a custom rom?
I remain extremely happy with this build.My only slight gripe is ZDNET app doesn't work. I get all the articles listed and then it bombs out when I click on one. It didn't do that before...
Links have been posted to links for new firmware versions for the A31/A31s models. I don't know if they are all there but I've loaded it on my V973?????-ondafae???
I have to say this is a fantastic update.
My machine is massively improved. It's startup is all but instant. Screen rotation is...
Wow. It's like having a whole new machine.
Had it on an hour. Booting is snappy. Quick boot is genuinely quick. The tablet is responsive. Screen rotating is fast. All really could be well with the onda world.
I'll report back after playing around with it longer. I really hope it has...
Yes. It seems chassis on the Onda is very poorly designed so they need a USB with extra length. However it does still work on normal USB devices. It's just you can't use most USB cables with it. A real pain in the ass. I've ended up ordering a new OTG cable from Hong Kong as I lost mine and I...
I have a V973 and I'm somewhat frustrated. Even with the latest 4.2.2 build it can be unstable. They seem to improve things with every build but it seems to get in a state where apps go all sluggish and you get a wait message. As I'm sat 5 meters from a good router and it has moments where it's...
Having read somewhere else on the internet how to disable the Chinese apps I thought I'd give it a shot. Nothing to lose.
To my delight everything seems a lot more snappy. I'm running the latest 4.2.2
I disabled AnZhi. Firereader, QQ, UC Browser HD, LETV, Green ? and the three with chinese...
I'd agree with all of that. They really need to work on the stability, and quick. I love the screen. It's great for reading and watching videos but the overall stability, even with the new OS version, is really not good enough.
I've had an V973 for a couple of weeks now.
Been a little bit of a rocky road. I bought it in Shenzhen.
Initially I just couldn't get the google play store to work. Quick look on the onda-tablet website suggested a change in setting, those instructions didn't work. But there was a v2 build...
Hi
I'm pas1970. I live in Munich and I've just bought my second android tablet. A Onda v973. I bought it on a recent trip to Shenzhen. Got some positive , and negative experience with it and I'm looking forward to seeing if others have this device and what their experiences are.
