I haven't found any predictable way of getting my Samsung Focus into or out of landscape mode. I thought the simple act of rotating the device was supposed to do that, but it often gets stuck in landscape, and times when I want it to go into landscape I can't get it to change.
Is there some trick I'm not aware of?
I haven't had a problem with mine. Maybe try a quick shake? Sounds like your accelerometer may be bad.
No problems here as well. It doesn't happen instantly but it does consistently change.
i have this issue, its extremely consistent in the pictures hub / camera
Interesting to hear that it's working so well for others. Definitely not for me, going to have to take it back.
the hubs, start screen, app list, and zune are portrait only, and the camera is landscape only.
try it on text message conversations or something and if it gets stuck there, then yes it would be a hardware issue. but to confirm, i would suggest a hard reset (settings > about > reset your phone), and if it still persists, then take it back and exchange it for another.

Yes, I get stuck in landscape or portrait (can't switch in either direction when I want to) in both messaging and Outlook. Thanks for the tip about a hard rest. If I do that, will I lose everything I've put on it from the Marketplace?
if you loaded it directly on your phone, yes. if you installed it via zune, zune will reinstall the apps for you.
any apps you paid for, they can just be downloaded again and won't cost you anything as they're tied to your account and not to the phone. so don't threat if you end up switching phones down the track, you can redownload them without any additional cost.
Just wanted to start a thread to discuss this device. For those not familiar with it, it's a very inexpensive 11.6" laptop that runs RemixOS 2.0 from the factory. It does NOT have a touchscreen and the display is a low resolution (1366x768) TN panel display. The CPU is an Allwinner A64 Cortex A53 quad-core 64-bit processor.
The device I purchased (via their Kickstarter campaign) has 2gb RAM and 32gb storage - and it costs me $89.
Some interesting things I've found so far...
1. To disable the damn "click" sound every time you select something (via the touchpad or a mouse), download the QuickShortcutMaker application from the play store. Then expand the Settings items under the Activities section and find the "Other Sounds" activity. Once you click on the Other Sounds activity, click on "Try" on the right-hand side - this will open the "Other Sounds" dialog where you disable "Touch Sounds"! You can also disable some other sounds here. No idea why Remix doesn't allow access to these sound options. Explore the other Settings activities - there are some other cool things you can do. I also used this app to create "Shortcuts" to specific forums in Tapatalk (something that you do via widgets in standard Android). This QuickShortcutMaker app is pretty damn useful on this device!
2. I've found that I was able to connect my Apple USB->Ethernet adapter to this device and it works! However, it doesn't seem to work with ALL apps. For example, Tapatalk doesn't work with it for some reason - but so far, every other app has worked. You can also access ethernet settings via the QuickShortcutMaker app mentioned above.
3. Enable "Experimental Features" by clicking on the "Kernel Version" section of Settings->About. Once you do this, enable the "Use mouse wheel to simulate swipe gesture". This allows you to zoom in and out of things like web pages, images, etc. To do this, hold down CTRL+ALT while moving the mouse wheel. Apparently, the touchpad on this device does NOT provide pinch-to-zoom functionality, so without this setting, there is no way to zoom in and out in most apps! Kind of a big issue! Unless there is another way that I just don't know about. I know you can CTRL- and CTRL+ to zoom in and out in web pages, but that really just increases the size of the text - not really a true zoom in/out.
4. Gmail app. If you open the Gmail app as a window, you don't get the "split-screen" that you get if you open the app in full screen. But if you open in as a full-screen window and then "restore" it to a smaller window, the split-sceen function still works. I usually just leave Gmail minimized in order to keep the split-screen function active for Gmail.
5. Sometimes, the screen comes back on if you put the device into standby with the power button and then close the lid. I haven't been able to find the exact circumstances where the screen comes back on when closed, but it seems that when it does come on when it's closed, it stays on! Need to figure out why this occurs..
6. Bottom of device gets REALLY hot after any extended use. May be a long-term issue...
7. By default, wifi is set to turn off when in standby (unlike tablets) - unless the device is plugged in - then wifi will stay on. This can all be changed under Settings->Wifi->Advanced. I actually set mine to always turn wifi off when in standby since it seems that the device doesn't actually work while in standby anyway (again, unlike tablets). May help avoid wifi failure over the long-term.
8. I have run into websites (such as microcenter.com) where when you open a drop-down list, there is no way to "scroll" the list if it goes off the screen. To see what I mean, go to microcenter.com and try to set the store location - it opens a drop-down list that goes off the screen and there is no way to scroll down in the list! The "work-around" is to use the down arrow key, but it doesn't work very well (web page wants to update every time you press the down arrow)....
That's about it off the top of my head... It's a shame that this device cannot upgrade to RemixOS 3.0, like was stated in the kickstarted campaign (and later "retracted").
Anyone know how to root this thing?
It's an interesting device for the cost, but what I *really* want is a similar, large'ish device with a higher-quality, higher-resolution touchscreen that is removable from the keyboard - with at least 2gb of RAM (10" and 1gb of RAM isn't enough for RemixOS!) and runs RemixOS 3.0 - so far, I can't seem to find such a device...

I got the same model 2GB w/32GB storage. Do you or anyone know how to get it to charge and or power on. Mine only worked for 2 days, now nothing. I contacted Azpen over a week ago about it and still haven't heard from them. Please help.

I just plugged mine in and it charged fine (blue LED next to charging port turns on when charging and turns off when fully charged).
To turn mine on, I just held down the power button on the keyboard for a while... You can also fully power it off that way as well (if it gets hung or something, which I have managed to do a few times now).
I've *really* put this thing through it's paces over the last few days. Overall, it's a decent device for the price. Personally, I'd rather spend a little more for one with a better, higher-res, removable touchscreen though.
I also have a HP Slatebook 10 x2 - and it's a great device, but stuck on Android 4. Otherwise, it has a MUCH nicer, removable touchscreen and even an extra battery in the keyboard (that charges the tablet when attached). Just wish it was a little bigger (13" or so) and was running Remix OS.
But, for $89, I can't complain, my A1160 actually runs pretty well for what it is...Luckily, I haven't had any issues with mine.

Hello...
@jtrosky, thanks for starting this thread, i've already gotten something out of it... getting rid of that damn clicking every keypress.
It was also nice to find that quickshortcutmaker, thats really a cool app that seems to allow more access than I could find...
Everyone else, hello!
I am an PC user since 84' and an Apple iPad user since, well the day the ipad 2 came out and now I'm on the iPad now. The only reason I say any of this is because the reason I got this Azpen A1160 was to help learn a bit about android and linux. I would also like to figure out how to get to the root...
Knock on wood but I got this three days ago and have literally beaten the software out of it loading, looking, deleting, and I thought I had screwed it up several times but it just keeps on ticking. The back does get a little warm, I haven't actually measured it yet but I'm going to, but I dont think it's too bad. I've run six full charges on battery and worked on it plugged in. (which it doesn't seem to like)
I'm happy with it right now and I think its going be a fun ride. I bet this is going to be a fun place to be in the next couple of months...

Oh - one more thing I found out - and this may be well known already for those more familiar with RemixOS. If you click and hold on the little icons on the bottom-right of the taskbar, you can move them around. So, for example, you can make it so the brightness, volume, bluetooth and wifi icons are always visible, even when that section is "collapsed"...
Also - I *love* having the key to disable the touchpad (the key next to the arrow keys). Since I usually use a bluetooth mouse, it's so nice being able to disable the trackpad so quickly and easily!
Oh - and the Prtscr button on the keyboard brings up the very cool screen capture tool, which let's you select what area of the screen to capture. Very handy tool!
Still not sure what the "Pausc" button does - I'm assuming it's actually a misprint and it's supposed to say "Pause". Gotta love cheap electronics that are made in China!
So far, this device is definitely working well for me. Although, I'm not so sure the screen is big enough to truly take advantage of the RemixOS windowing capabilities... But, it's still better than not having any windowing capabilities.

One more quick tip - there are apps out there that will let you boost the volume of the device. Right now, I'm using Music Volume EQ to boost the volume, but there are probably better apps out there for this purpose... Will explore more later and post an update if I find a better app.

Hello guys, thank you for creating this thread.
Did anyone have any issue by setting up a password for the lock screen?
I did, and it worked for a couple of times, then it started not to recognize the password (password was correct, no caps lock...). Of course it didn't work after reboot as well.
The only option was to remotely reset the device using the google's tool from another pc. Very annoying. Since then never tried to set another security system for the screen lock.
I'm also getting an a problem after turning off the screen: when I try to turn it on again, most of the time I get a blank screen. I have to try several times to get back to remix os.
Did anyone faced this issue as well?

I have not tried setting up the lock screen (I just leave mine unlocked). And no, I have not had any issues with a blank screen when turning the device back up. What's strange is that the device does not automatically turn on when opening the screen - at least not on my device - I have to press the power button.
Your issues are probably because of the poor quality control with these device. Somehow, I lucked out and got a "good one", but many people seem to be having build-quality issues with them...

Great posts and many thanks to the OP.
I got a US 2 pin power plug instead of a UK plug. Does anyone know of a similar products power lead that will fit our A1160?
Need help...
Hi,
First, thanks for creating this thread and posting your tips. Obviously there are not a lot of people using this device yet so it is great to find useful info on it.
Since there is no known root solution yet, I tried installing NetGuard as an adbllocking solution that does not require root. I have used it before without any issues. Unfortunately, on the Azpen, every time that I enable it, it blocks all internet access (it is obviously not supposed to do that). I even tried alternative apps like AdClear and got the exact same result. There is something strange going on with the Azpen. I would really appreciate it if anyone had any pointers as to how I could resolve this.
Thanks...
Welp! I had much higher hopes for this device and I haven't even received mine yet! Will this be rootable?
Thanks for creating this, used both your sound clicking tip and the pinch to zoom in. A bit annoying having your fingers in multiple place to zoom in, but what can you do? I'm a college student and have found that I can't access the net with this device due to it's mac address changing each time. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this or if mine is the only one. Just thought I would share that.

That is *really* interesting! Sure enough, if I disable and re-enable the wifi, the MAC address does change!! That makes absolutely no sense - I've never seen such a thing!
I'll look into that a little more - but without root, I doubt there is anything that can be done about it. So strange!
One possible option - set wifi to stay enabled all of the time - maybe that way the MAC will stay the same. You can set that in the wifi settings advanced options. I've found that you have to reboot after setting it to always stay active....

So far I have been impressed for the cost of this unit. I have a few concerns and wanted to see if anyone had input:
1. Since the length of the power chord is so short. Is it possible to use a USB to Barrel jack type of adapter to power this? That way you can attach to a portable power bank?
2. battery power, I find it to not last that long and I find it takes forever to charge. I thought that this would last 5-7 hours unplugged, nope. It was supposed to charge within in a hour, nope. Any ideas on this?
I use an external mouse and click on the trackpad disable button. I find it much easier to use the computer when typing.
I'm looking at Pinebook, a notebook having the same AllWinner processor (CortexA53).
It seems this notebook can run all OSs suppoted by Pine64, such as Android, some linux distro, Windows IOT and they are working on a Chroimum porting (try to have a look at the pin64 forum).
Do you think it would be possible to do the same with A1160 ?
Another solution could be PhoenixOs (as pointed out in some comment on Kickstarter).
There are already some devices with CortexA53 processor running PhoenixOS out of the box.
I honestly don't know what OS's can be ported over to this device yet. I have a feeling that it's never going to have a huge user base though, so I wouldn't expect much from the developers out there.
Now that Chromebooks can run Android apps, this device just isn't quite as interesting as it once was. Basically, you can now get an inexpensive, *high quality* Chromebook and still have most of the advantages of this device, plus the high quality and frequent updates part.
To be completely honest, I have very low expectations for this device in the long-term. With how hot it gets after any real usage, I expect the mainboard to fail in short order. We'll see. Although, so far, I've really been using it pretty heavily and it does seem to be holding up, but it's only been about a week....

Something else I recently noticed - and this may already be a well-known thing with RemixOS... If you close an app by clicking the back arrow on the top-left of the window, you continue to get notifications for that app. But if you close it by clicking the "X" in the top-right of the window, it seems to completely the kill the process and you no longer receive notifications (or if it's an app that stays around and puts a "permanent" notification in the notification tray, the "x" seems to completely stop the app as well and removes its notification item).
At least that's what seems to happen...
Also noticed that even if you setup wifi to stay active even with power off, the unit eventually goes into a "deep sleep" where you will no longer get new email notifications, etc. It even seems to turn wifi off after a while (even though it's set to stay on all of the time).
Lastly, if you have an external mouse connected, close the laptop lid and then move the mouse, it turns the screen back on - even while closed!

Hi All,
Saw this in the comments and thought I would chip in with my experience so far.
I got the 64GB version and so far it is the computer I have paid for.
The track pad as everyone said is very crappy, but I just use an external mouse instead so its not a big problem.
I seem to have a good unit and don't have any problems with the unit.
My only gripe is that the battery kinda sucks and after using it intensive for like 3-4 hrs, it will have almost no battery. I wish it came with my UK adapter instead of the US one, but its okay.
Furthermore, is there anyway to put widgets on it? or Use another launcher?
Has anyone tried to root it or tried to install another OS on top of it? I heard that PhoenixOs is possible?

For what it's worth, my trackpad actually works really well. I was surprised to read all of the complaints about it. I'm guessing that a lot of them are defective?
Regarding the widgets, no - there is no way to use Widgets in Remix OS 2.0 (not sure about 3.0), which is a huge limitation. Widgets are one of the things that make Android so powerful - and I miss them big time in Remix OS...
I too would like to know if there is a way to load PhoenixOS on this device. I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere that it would be possible (maybe one of the updates on Kickstarter?). I will see if I can email Azpen about this. RemixOS 2.0 is really good, but not quite "finished" in my opinion...

Hi! Does somebody receive a blank white screen when laptop booting or waking up?
Every time when I push power button I get a blank white screen... How I can fix it?
With the announcement of google assistant "smart displays" at CES I thought well I have my N7 that I find myself using less and less (reading ebooks, some content consumption and some social media) maybe I can use the nexus as a smart display?
Short of flashing a Android Things OS (which as far as I know isn't an option) how can I set it up to best suit my needs?
So wiped and flashed stock 6.0.1 haven't rooted shouldn't need to and going to try and install as little as possible as it's showing it's age perfwise.
I've enabled Google Assistant and granted it isn't using far field microphones it'll be next to my bed so I can't see it being a huge issue.
One of the annoyances is that assistant defaults to a portrait mode while I'd like it to remain in landscape any ideas?
I'll have it plugged to power in with either a lockscreen showing just the bare necessities or dimming the display to as low as possible. May want to keep it as an always on display what's the burn in situation on the screen?
Audio will either be a 3.5mm to an old speaker or default audio out to a chromecast audio.
Also looking for any nice widgets that could be useful for a smart display?
Or any other ideas or thoughts?
thx
Maybe instead of having it plugged in all the time, just use wireless charging. Yes, it is slower, but it would make it easy to grab from a night stand. I have thought the same thing as you when I heard about the "smart displays". I'm on Lineage OS 14 with Nova Launcher. It runs really well for being 5 years old.
I bought the official dock from Asus in Amazon (Warehouse return). I use Daydream as a screensaver. Only negative so far is that it responds in portrait mode when giving it voice commands. It picks up my voice better than I thought it would. I wish there was a way to have the assistant screen up all the time with a screensaver when idle. Maybe there is and I just don't know about it.
I'm setting-up HADashboard (a Dashboard interface for Home-Assisant) on a couple of Nexus 7 2013's through the house, with the wireless charging in the wall and a removable printed wall mount. I'm currently searching for the right apps / rom. I'm currently running stock with WallPanel running.

HADashboard seems interesting. Can you expand on your WallPanel solution ? Perhaps a screenshot ?
I've been trying a few things to use as an always on home screen. I settled on using Android Auto as a nice clean interface. The issue I have is that the tablet is either rebooting after a short while or the app is crashing and is leaving the tablet on the home screen. I'm still using the latest stock image build from Google. It seems to be doing the same thing with most apps that I've used as either a Daydream screensaver or an always on app. Not sure if this is because of marshmallow or just that the tablet can't handle keeping an app running all day.
Now that there are real devices available, has anyone looked if it is possible to port or or use old tablet as smart display device like Jbl Link View etc?
Interested in this. Is there a way to convert a Nexus 7 (2013) to a Google Home View?
Ditto to finding this. Has anyone been able to perform a system dump?

I've got a pre-Android Auto car stereo in my 2017 Nissan Rogue. I'm using a slick Qi enabled phone mount (Dearhot branded from Amazon) but there isn't a decent "Android Auto for Phones" app (IMO), so I figured I'd try the new "Driving Mode", but it will only display in portrait mode on my Fold 3.
Is there a way to get it into landscape? I've tried all the built in settings and Developer Mode to no avail.
On the side: Any good AA for Phones replacements to suggest? "Automate" is one I've tried but map mode crashes every time and some other modes, like Phone, are wonky.
Maybe it's just time to replace the stereo and get a Qi pad...
You could set up a app group with Google maps and whatever media app you normally use like the way I do.
EDIT: this is in landscape mode.
I searched for this for like an hour last week. My car stereo is pre AA and I use AA for phone screens every time that I get into my car. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to make it happen.
I have the same mount. Before I went back to 11 due to work software compatibility issues, I flipped the mount sideways and it held my phone tight still. I don't recommend it, but it worked great for me for two weeks and the roads around here are full of holes.
Poco F5

Poco F3 worked flawlessly. F5 fails to connect. Tried different cables.
It correctly detects the phone on the car and prompts me to connect via AA or Mirrorlink.
On the phone, USB connectivity menu appears. I select data transfer / Android Auto.
And then the car tells me it failed.
Is this known? Is is a weird issue with car compatibility?
Any way to make it work by messing with settings?
Seems Android Auto works on EU Rom or other non-official ROMs. Marble doesn't have proper certificate so car's audio component cannot accept pairing and fails to establish a connection in wired mode. It is probably the reason it fails in wireless mode too.
What's "marble"?
Is this a bug that could be fixed by an update or deliberate?
I need to figure out if I should return this phone, as this is serious.
I'm having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. I tried with 3 different cables but the result did not change. I'm thinking of returning it. Incredible problem!!

I've seen multiple reports associated with android auto,. i have poco f4 gt and getting the same problem right after I upgraded my phone to miui 14 and android 13. they are saying that it's from android 13 version cause all of them getting the issue has Android 13 ,, even in samsung phones and other brands, they are getting the same issue. The only similarity that I noticed is that they all have android 13 on their phone.
I have no experience with the stock rom.
I'm using Xiaomi EU and Android Auto works both wired and wireless mode. Even better than my previous Flip 3

good to know tho,, so aside from android 13 there might be another factor that affects android auto with most devices.
Got a generic reply from support, so it seems they are not really familiar with this or interested.
Please reinstall the latest update package to eliminate possible errors during installation. Settings - About phone - MIUI LOGO - 3 items - Download last update package.
Next, you can also check the functionality of the device in Safe Mode. To enable Safe Mode, you need to turn off your smartphone first, then press the Power Button and Volume Plus at the same time, once the Recovery Menu appears let go of the buttons. In the recovery menu, please select the Safe Mode option.
All third-party apps are disabled in Safe Mode and will not be displayed. If the device works fine, please reboot to exit Safe Mode and boot the device in "Normal Mode". Please then uninstall the last three apps that were installed and check the functionality again.
If the problem persists, reset the device to factory settings. Please note that before you factory reset the device, please backup your data first, otherwise all your data (pictures, videos, music, apps, etc.) will be lost.

I might finally consider custom rom, most likely xiaomi.eu, but I am really hesitant to do this.
There is a lot of uncertainty regarding warranty, and everything working, and conflicting reports about battery life and bugs. Most are seemingly happy, but there are lso reports of it not really working that well.
Or I might return it and wait and see what Nord 3 is priced like.
I know you've said you tried different cables. I was having connectivity issues with Android Auto when my previous phone (Poco F1) had no issues whatsoever.
I've been using an Amazon Basics USB 3.1 cable for a few days now and touch wood, everything is fine. Perhaps the Poco F5 is just very particular about what cables it uses.
Hm..
I suppose it's easier to try with that then to return the phone, though my current cable is 90 degree on one end for practical reasons, and I want a short one.
And some people online are reporting that it works on one car and does not on another, but I don't remember they said it was tested with the same cable.
But I could try. This is like a MUST feature. I would not buy a car without it, let alone a phone.
Though my car is C plug, so I have to try with random cables :/
Android Auto is definitely possible with the proper software. This is definitely a software issue and not a hardware issue. I will revisit this thread once a stable solution (not via custom rom) has been applied. Marble devices (Poco F5/Redmi Note 12 Turbo) should be able to use Android Auto starting from Android 13. Ig we just need to provide some feedback via SocMed so we can be heard.
Same problem with Skoda and Poco f5 pro miui14 latest.
Any known solution to come or throw this phone away ?
You can sell it, don't throw it away.
I might get the Nord 3 if they have an early sale. Though oneplus is allegedly prone to bugs. So I can't be smart about this, just reactionary.
Did you guys try a new cable? I never had problems with my F5 but as I wrote before it happened in the past with another phone and the solution was 1) change the cable 2) unpair the phone/car and pair them again from scratch
It's not the cable. I tried multiple different C-C cables, 2.0 and 3.1. I only have not tried 3.2.
It could be that for some reason it's not standard spec USB, so it does not work with all infotainment systems. There are a few posts about Škoda/VW specifically, but also Honda and some others. My car is USB-C, so maybe for some reason it only works in cars with USB-A?
It could also be MIU14 bug, as there are multiple posts about Xiaomi phones being upgraded to MIUI14 and having these issues, Poco F3 included, and I have that one, works fine with MIUI13. But it's again not all users of the same model, just some.
In my case, it definitely seems to be USB related, because the phone does charge, but keeps dropping connection. When I am charging, it does not. I just remembered I have not yet tried connecting to my laptop and see if it drops connection there, that would be an easy test.
My F3, MIUI13/12, works flawlessly.
I sent my to service, as there was also a post where someone sent a Xiaomi phone to service with the same symptoms and allegedly they fixed it.
It is frustrating to say the least, as it is a crucial functionality for me.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other convenient car I can try it on. Everyone I know has older cars, no AA :/
I mean some do, but nobody where I can try it conveniently.
Now I'm kinda optimistic, becuse the phone also can't be connected to a PC. Nothing happens. nd it also keeps reconnecting.
nd, when I was switching stuff over via cable from my F3, this did not work, so I had to use wireless option.
I say optimistic, because it appears it is clearly an issue with USB, so service might be able to solve it.
