Astro Slide - Android / Android backup from phone

« Last post by mirek on July 24, 2024, 01:20:50 am »

Hello, I would need to download android from a working phone and upload it to another. I feel like restoring imei, bt and wifi mac. I tried to generate a scatter file via wwr mtk (I added the cpu manually), but the file will probably be generated incorrectly. Does anyone have somewhere to download it please? Does anyone have a tip on how to use SP Flash Tool to download android from the phone or the error I'm getting now is because I have a bad scatter file? I also tried using the MTK Droid Tool, but the scatter file was not generated. Will I be able to use SN Writer to restore the imei and mac addresses? Does anyone have a tip on how to move it? Thanks

Astro Slide - Hardware / Re: Storing an unused Astro Slide without damaging the battery?

A factory reset didn't improve things for me: the battery is completely depleted a month after the factory reset.

General Discussion / Planet-Computers not further available? Orders not distributed?

« Last post by IK6yae0s on July 11, 2024, 06:23:03 am »

Hello,

I ordered a DP-USB-Adaptor cable in April and payed via Amazon-Pay with the instant pay button.
Another payment method is not available. I hadn't gegistred for the order.
I got never an email of the order but the payment hab been succesfully debited.

By the way after near 3 month the Cable is still not arrived. I tried to use email, contact formulars and the amazon payment support menu for the status but got never an answer.
The latest I got was an answer that broken dissplays cannot be exchanged because are not available.
So I created an account an tried to order another DP-USB-Cable but Amazon Payment does not support any more this shop.

I wonder but is it possible the company does not further exist and no payed orders willl be delivered any more?
Does anybody knows something about planet computers?

Cheers

By the way, I did ask Planet (via hello@planetcom) on Android updates. I did not get even a boilerplate reply, just Zendesk ticket number. And it's been three weeks now.

Well, most keyboard layouts they list as out of stock for Cosmo...

If I'd really want one, I guess I could place an order, and if they fail to fulfill it, just get your credit card issuer to issue chargeback...

Astro Slide - Hardware / Re: Planet USB-C to HDMI Video Cable

Hi, my Display of my Astro is cracket and I cannot find my DP-USB cable from planet.com.
It was possible in april to order a new one but still not arrived.
A new order is not further possible because looks like the only payment method amazon pay does not further support planet com store.

Does anybody can lend me the cable for few days?

I can also build a adaptor cable if I know how the wires should be connected. Any Idea?

I need it only a few days the cable. So lending is also a good idea.

Planet still lists the Cosmo and the Wifi-only Gemini as available on their webshop:

https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/cosmo-communicator
https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/gemini-pda-wifi-only

Has anybody recently bought any of them, or knows if they are still accepting orders?

Well, still need the device vendor files which I assume are the binary MTK blobs, so no go without those I guess...

There's a device tree I got hold of on the Planet Community GitHub organisation. Advice is really to focus efforts on that organisation, where I'm working on funding via Open Collective, and from Planet.
