Been using the Eken M001 for a few weeks now. Generally pleased with what it can do. recently upgraded to 1.7.4. (Official). Today, the screen froze/controls locked. I waited for the machine to run down the battery. I switched it on again, and after a while the same thing happened again. Any idea as to what the problem may be? Are there any problems with the new upgrade/firmware? Any tips as to how to resolve without waiting for the batteries to run out each tinme so that I can re-boot?I also notice that the machine seems to take slightly longer than before the 1.7.4 upgrade to boot up.

Anyone able to help?

1.7.4 takes longer to boot, try to install firmware 1.7.2 again or alternative the SlateDroid or the Ecotox firmwares, good luck.

I had the same problem, decided to redo firmware with a clean sd card. Seemed to do the trick, have found that having a clean SD card when installing firmware helps...

What's the difference between the official 1.7.4 and slatedroid version?

The most obvious difference (to me) between Slatedroid 1.3 and the official firmware is a nicer app tray that actually works and a more responsive (IMHO) user interface.

Anyone tried the "reset" pin-hole on the back of the M001? I'm wondering if that gets the device out of a lockup, given you can't pull the battery.
