#1201
Thanks for the detailed response. I have posted a ticket on the Evoscan site but didn't know if it was still active for support tickets
The tablet I am considering is a Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet 64GB SSD 2GB Win8.1Pro 3G 5570 HSPA.
Apologies for the over requesting but due to a special offer on the tablet, time is a constraint for me.
Again, thanks for the response

If you are getting this... Intel® Xeon® Processor X5570(8M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI) beware it was released in early 2009, soo old, therefore its going to be a heap of junk in terms of performance, battery life and hot temperature output, if your car has good aircon blowing air over it and a nuclear power plant, it should be fine...

Yeah, sorry bout that , kinda panicked as the clock was counting down to the offer.
The processor is : Intel Atom processor Z3740D (2MB Cache, up to 1.8GHz Quad-Core) which was launched late 2013 afaik.
Once the software is compatible with the tablet that's my main concern.
I have one of the old 1.3u cables, I *may* have to get a new cable?

I am looking into releasing another version of EvoDroid7 with Kindle Fire HD 7 (4th Generation) Quad Core. the usb port is currently being a pain, no root event access to put the device in standby with accessory key.. it is work in progress.. every new android device is never the same as the last.. *sigh*. Kindle Fire7 has no GPS.. is gps even important? can't you have a dedicated GPS on the other side of your dash? or just use Siri for your GPS?

- ARM-based: A Windows RT tablet for around $500 that has acceptable performance, a Desktop limited to Microsoft Office use, no support for legacy software and a device that runs for about 10 hours on a charge.
- Intel Atom-based: A Windows 8 tablet for around $500 that has slightly better performance, no desktop or software installation limitations and runs for 8 to 10 hours on a charge.
- Intel Core-based: A windows 8 tablet for around $900 that offers the best performance, has no desktop or software installation limitations and runs for 4 to 5 hours on a charge.

GPS is deadly important to me. I tab out to evodroid (sometimes i have to do this twice to get the connection established)when i'm on the highway and someone wants to play otherwise it's in gps mode. Only thing that sucks is that evodroid can't log in the background then it'd be perfect. I am still running your first version so if u want to get rid of your second generation which has supposed "faster" satellite reception. Let me know
Once the satelites are connected it runs pretty smoothly but sometimes it can take 30+ minutes or just never connect at all.
Going with kindle 7 or anything that has built in bloatware is the wrong direction, last thing i want is a stupid popup forcing me to update while i'm using such a device while driving.
With no GPS I may as well just get a window based tablet and run evoscan and not bother with any of these issues. I want a gps solution that is built in and not something I have to mount and unmount.

is Nexus 7 even still in active development? there is no more Nexus 7 for sale in New Zealand? and aren't they really too expensive? about $100-200USD more for the nexus7 than a KindleFire7 for the same hardware?

including GPS costs an extra $150, i.e. Nexus same hardware with GPS is $150 more.
it is not called kindle. it is called Fire HD 7 (4th Generation). and it is not bloatware it runs android v4.4.3 with all the same APIs. and FireHD7(4thgen) is actually a skinny and higher performing version, without all of the google bloatware.

unfortunately Kindle Fire HD6, nor HD7, nor HDX7 doesn't seem to list any GPS included. thats a shame because the FireHD screens are amazing brightness in sunlight and have full 360degree viewing angles, just as well I don't mind not having GPS. But for those that do, the next options might be a GalaxyTab7 or Nexus7 to try and get the Full OLED quality brightness screen in sunlight, even if they are a few hundred bucks more, just for GPS.

The 1.3DA is for android. the 1.3DA is not a cable. the 1.3DA is a computer in a tiny OBDII box. it has a usb port, a serial port, and 3 sensor inputs, that you can plug the android into. and the 1.3DA also charges the Android tablet over USB using a 3.0Amp charger circuit, which is current limited by the tablet itself to about 0.5 to 2.0amp during charging.
