New Pandigital White owner

[vaughnmr]

Does the Kindle for Android work in that?

[lbitterman]

I own the white Pandigital device, upgraded the firmware twice and am unable to use the B&N app, the Slide app, office suits, es file explorer. All post a message saying not installed on phone when tapped. Any help would be appreciated since I was also unable to install an other app.

Lbitterman, start reading this thread from the beginning. I had the same problems you are having and followed Rex.Ballards instruction in post #13 and had success in getting the android tablet to work with the B & N and calculator functioning. You must hold the power key and the vol+ key again when you see the blue paper screen. When it starts to restart again with the white horizontal moving progress line at the bottom, you can let go and it will open with the apks working.

There is an error in the Pandigital documentation. It tells you to download the exe file to Windows then use that file to install a zip file onto the reader. That works fine. Then it tells you to hold down the Vol+ and power on switches for 5 seconds and the systems will reboot then the new software will start. This is not quite correct.

You hold down the Vol+ and Power switches together to the menu to power down, and power down. When you power back up hold the power and vol+ key for 30 seconds. That should eventually give you a picture of a box with the Android robot, showing that the new software is being loaded into the firmware.

When you see the Pandigital logo - you want to hold down the power and Vol+ key again until the new operating system boots up (otherwise it boots the old one).

When it reboots, you should see the simpler linux-style screen with google bar on top, Barnes & Noble and other icons below, on a blue screen.

This will give you the fully functional Android 2.x system.

The Slide (SAM 4.0) application will let you download the new applications.
