Hi all,
I have a 'Ainol Tab Novo 7 Mars' tablet which was working great for more than 1 year (Obtained as gift and imported directly from china) and was in English. This tablet was used only for Skype. Since 1 week, people stopped from seeing me during Skype Video calls. I suspected that the new skype was the issue. Some tests through settings confirmed that there was no issue with the camera. After reading a lot on the net, I came to the conclusion that I had to upgrade the firmware. I tested 3 in all: 'aurora_feiyu_mod_(0515)_cwm', 'Novo 7 Elf II 0717 Firmware' and 'Novo7 Mars 1128' (The manufacturer site could not be accessed). All of them were completely in Chinese but I was able to change the language to English (some parameters and settings remained in chinese though). I decided in install an older version of Skype through APK (Play Store was no more available on these firmwares) but same camera issue. Moreover now the battery indicated 0% even after 1 hour charge. So now I'm suspecting that the initial firmware did contain a fix for the battery reporting issue as well.
I think it would have been better if initially I had removed Skype and install an older version through APK. But now I don't know where to get the original firmware.
Please note that I am a newbie in tablet, all comments and suggestions would be more than welcome to help me get back my tablet to normal working condition (with a working Skype if possible) ;-)
Regards,
