Hi guys, i got mediapad S7-301u (yes, it is not same model as you all) but at the huawei S7-301u topic are not active so i ask here general question.

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/prod.../s7-301u-en.htm

My mediapad behave wierdly last week. The touchscreen going crazy..the screen going
'touch' or 'working' itself without any touches from my finger. its moving around the screen,
open close the icon itself like crazy.

i manage to get it stop by forcing shutdown. After restart it seem OK for a while before
the touchscreen not working at all now. not even response to any touches. cannot use the tablet anymore but the screen is ON..i can see there are the activity when call in or SMS in or whatsapp in..but i just cannot open due to touchscreen not work.

If some one else experienced this, what kind of problem is this? for the info, i just
replace new touchscreen last 6 months (previous original screen is having faulty on some touch point but not fully faulty). After 6 months with new replacement now this problem happen. Is it hardware or software?

I just download the latest firmware from the website.
(HUAWEI_S7-301u_FIRMWARE_Android4.0_C232B005_General_Channel_05010YBX)
In the update file i can see inside there are one folder name 'touchscreen' together
with other image file. In the touchscreen folder got 5 image file.
I dont want to update full package as i will be losing all my data due to package update.
So, the question is, can i only update the 'touchscreen' software by deleting other
software image and update the tablet touchscreen file using memory card via power+vol UP button,
so only the touchscreen file being update? is it possible? have anyone try?

Hi all, yes I also have the 301u, damned good device for its time, and mine is still functioning, but the top left corner of the screen in landscape mode is not responsive.

You managed to get a screen replacement ? Where was it replaced? I know how to dismantle it, and can probably swap back your old screen in.

You cannot flash in the "touchscreen" folder only, and yours sounds like a hardware problem. You can try to use a USB OTG cable and connect a mouse to it for the time being for navigation.

i replace the touchscreen previously myself. the sad part is i only get the screen replacement only without the frame.
so i need to get back the frame. when i pried the old touchscreen out the frame, the glass crack.. sweat.gif
so the old glass is no more available..huhu.

oh, so i cannot only flash the touchscreen folder..herm. i dont want to flash complete file in the trial..
scare phone get flash, data gone but the touchscreen problem is still..

thanks bro, i dunno if the pad works with OTG+mouse. i will try it..i wonder how it works.. thumbup.gif

Where did you buy the screen, and how much was it?

OTG does work, and I suggest you could flash the last stable ROM by aftersilence, released in June or September last year, which was JB 4.2.2. Really good ROM, everything works.

i cannot recall from who i get the touchscreen, but surely from LYN seller here. About RM100+/- if not mistaken.

yes, it works..i use it with OTG+wireless mouse and keyboard.
BUT, at 1st i cannot use it..i dunno why the cursor is there, but not clickable..i can move cursor around,
when i click to slide screenlock, it failed to move the unlock slider.

then i open the tab..dismantle the digitizer socket (disable touchscreen) and wallaaa...the mouse works.
Everything working fine with OTG+Wireless Mouse+keyboard. wink.gif

Confirm, the digitizer is faulty. Phaiseh...it was replaced just a few months..not even last for 1 year.
now i have to look for the new digitizer again. sad.gif

got anyone selling? sweat.gif

Since this is a rather old device (2011), it will be hard to find parts.

Can you take a pic of how your Mediapad looks like, without the glass screen? tongue.gif

I would also appreciate if you took a pic of the digitizer socket and what you dismantled. I like teardown pics.

i remember take few pics when 1st i replace the screen, but no where to find the saved picture sweat.gif

if i had the screen replacement i may take the picture again when replace the screen later wink.gif
