Texet tm 9741 firmware. Reinstalling the system or flashing TEXET tablets

Technologies continue to improve rapidly, which becomes the reason not only for the extraordinary variety of all kinds of personal gadgets, but also for the rather democratic prices for them. Today we will look at the texet tm 9741 tablet - an interesting option from the budget segment.

Such a successful combination of an affordable price and a good "filling" is rarely found among tablet computers. Let's take a closer look at this device.

Tablet overview and specifications

Appearance of the Texet tm 9741 tablet

• Those who have taken this tablet in their hands will most of all like the case - it is very convenient, tk. made of aluminum, not some cheap plastic. Although, the sensations in the hands are such that it is still plastic;
• The case is well thought out - it is rough to the touch, and therefore does not slip either in the hands or on the table. There are almost no fingerprints on the back of the case;
• Outwardly, the tablet itself is almost an exact copy. Apple iPad, with the only difference - it lacks a physical "Desktop" button. You will see this and other buttons on the side of the case.

View of the control buttons and connectors

On the back side there are: a 2.0 megapixel camera (very average quality), teXet logo, stereo speakers. Above, there are computer controls - the Home button, Mini-HDMI connector, reset (hardware reset) button, MicroSD slot, MicroUSB and mini-Jack connectors for stereo headphones, Power off button. There is nothing on the other sides.

As for the display, it is a 9.7-inch capacitive IPS screen with a resolution of 1024x768. It may seem a little small, but the price certainly smoothes this flaw. For this price point, this is a good indicator. On top of the display is not a glass protection, but a plastic one, and if you look closely, you can see a protective film pasted on it. This can be considered a definite plus.

It is important that the picture on the screen is very beautiful - clear and bright, with a decent margin of brightness.

Installing the tablet in an upright position

The tablet is very comfortable and secure in the case. The design of the cover allows you to place it at different angles, which makes working with the gadget much more comfortable.

Thus, we have one of the most successful tablets in terms of price-performance ratio. It has 2 cores on board, each 1.5Gg each, with an ips display, a smart and obedient sensor, a five-point resolution and color rendition, and a strong lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5900 mAh, which is enough for 5 hours of operation with a good load, and with economical use - up to 8 hours. The configuration of the device allows you to run almost all applications - games, programs, which allows you to use a lot of functions and capabilities right out of the box.

Tablet package

Tablet box appearance

In the usual box for tablets, everything is very conveniently and compactly packed. The package bundle is usual, and the box contains - a power adapter, headphones, (unfortunately, simple, not vacuum ones), OTG and USB-MicroUSB cables, a user manual and a special bonus - a gift card giving the right to free purchase of 10 books per liter. It would seem a trifle, but nice. The only thing that distinguishes this tablet from standard configurations is the presence of a cover.

The cover material is standard - it is made of black leatherette. The cover itself is convenient to use and allows you to install the device in several positions with the help of plastic mounts, which look rather flimsy, but, as practice has shown, very durable. The case has a magnetic closure and convenient openings for the camera and headphones.

All this adds one plus to such a low cost of the tablet and its other advantages.

Internet setup (WiFi)

Since this device is equipped with a WiFi module, we will connect to the Internet through it. If you already have a WiFi router on your home internet - great! If not, purchasing it will be the easiest way to solve the situation, especially since they are quite affordable and everyone can configure correctly by following the instructions in the guide. Next, you need to enable wireless broadcasting on the router and then you can connect to the network from the tablet. So what does it take? We do the following: In the tablet, open the Menu item, then Settings and then move the slider to the right. This will turn on Wi-Fi.

WiFi enable menu

Wi Fi activated

Available wireless networks

Entering a password to access the wireless network

A phone connected to a wireless network

After that, in the window that appears, we see a list of networks detected around you, where your "shared" network should also be. We tap on it, enter the password, and then click “save”. After a few seconds, an active Wi-Fi icon will appear at the top of your screen.

Autonomy

In terms of autonomy, our device shows good results - watching movies for up to 3 hours, surfing - up to 5 hours, and with an economical mode of operation, the autonomy reaches 7-8 hours! this is the merit of the 5900 mAh lithium-ion battery.

These are excellent numbers for a tablet in this price range.

Performance

The dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.5GHz in conjunction with the Mali-400 MP dual-core graphics processor allows the device to work with almost all applications without "brakes". Of course, good modern games on it will not work, but for everyday work it is quite suitable. But what can you expect from a tablet with such a modest cost?

Upgrade to 4.1

Regarding the update - very often there are difficulties with the tablet freezing when updating to 4.1, therefore, it is best to stay at 4.0. If you really want to, do this: go to the settings, then "About the tablet" and then select "check for updates." Now - the main thing is that after you clicked "check for updates", you do not need to do anything for about 5 minutes, you just need to wait, and soon a window will appear with the message "there is a software update. Download?" "Important! Your tablet must have a memory card installed). Once you agree, the update will be downloaded and the update process will begin.

If something doesn't work

You can increase the operating time of the tablet if you practice turning off unused applications, then the battery will surprise you again!

The battery takes a long time to charge, up to 5 hours. With this, nothing can be done. If ripples or stripes appear on the screen of the device when charging is on, do not be alarmed, this happens. In this case, just do not work on the tablet while it is charging, wait for it to end and the device can be disconnected from the mains.

Although the built-in cameras are rather weak, this is quite enough for using Skype.

So, when you have downloaded everything, install PhoenixSuit like this:

• Open the installer, click "Next";
• Windows will notify you that you need to install the driver, but it is unverified - confirm the download anyway;
• After confirming the rest of the items will happen, at the end click "Finish" and close the window.

You have now installed a separate PhoenixSuit program designed to replace the firmware on Texet TM products.

Know your needs

You can use the device for both work and play

There are many essential questions you need to answer before your money ends up in the hands of the tablet vendor. And most importantly, how do you plan to use your tablet. Do you want to replace your computer or just want to have an entertainment device when you travel? In any case, you have specific needs, which will be the main influencing factor when choosing a tablet.

Price won't tell the whole story

Just because a tablet is expensive does not mean that you will be provided with a quality product worthy of your hard-earned money.

Conversely, not every cheap tablet is a useless device for developing glaucoma. However, the price of the tablet is a good reason to choose. And in this case, the texet tm 9741 tablet attracts with its price and, in addition, provides an opportunity to support the domestic manufacturer.

Manufacturer

It's wise to choose a tablet by manufacturer. Computers are not perfect, and tablets in particular may be even less perfect. If problems arise, you need to make sure that the choice of the manufacturer was made correctly. This may be indicated by the readiness of the manufacturer to provide support to users in resolving all emerging issues.

Nevertheless, if you want to avoid a headache, it is better to give preference to the manufacturer who is already quite famous, and whose tablets do not require frequent repairs, this is evidenced by the reviews of the texet tm 9741 tablet.

Particulars of some aspects of the purchase

Screen

This is the most important buying factor. Since the choice of a tablet also depends on its ease of use, a difference of even half an inch can play a significant role. However, a large screen is not only a larger size, but also a greater weight, and because the screen is more than a third of the price of a tablet, then, accordingly, a higher price.

Screen quality is an important aspect when choosing a device

IMPORTANT. The price of tablets with screen sizes of 7 and 8 inches is usually lower. Such tablets have the advantage that they fit perfectly in small bags. They are easy to hold with one hand, which is convenient for those who like to read in bed.

However, for watching movies, TV and interactive games, medium-sized tablets (8.9-10 inches) are more convenient.

Optimal choice

This is texet tm 9741, precisely because:

• easy to hold with one hand,
• reacts easily to touch,
• with a 9.7-inch screen, it is functional enough to suit your needs.

Wireless connections

Almost every tablet supports some kind of Wi-Fi standard, and there are some tweaks as well. Some models only support 802.11b or g specifications, but if you need more powerful media or boot support, then 802.11n is your best bet.

Another point to pay attention to is the ability to connect via 3G, which will be optimal, since it provides a number of advantages.

You may need a GPS-enabled tablet to find your coordinates, and don't forget about Bluetooth, which allows you to send and receive files more easily.

OS and applications

Without operating system any computer or tablet is just a set of hardware. Comparing the internal stuffing of the device with the brain, the OS can be imagined as consciousness, without which the brain is dead.

While Android does not have as many applications as iOS, it has definitely taken a step in the development of a multimedia ecosystem that allows sharing different devices, there has also been a significant improvement in the quality and quantity of other software. With a very simple and user-friendly interface, Android surpasses any other OS in usability.

Updating the firmware

The firmware process looks like this step by step:

• run USB-Burning-tool-SPI;

Program window

• import the zip with firmware there via the "File" menu;
• connect the tablet using a cable: if a "brick" appears, then just hold down the "On" button until USB-Burning-tool-SPI sees the USB port; and if the tablet has a "hanging robot" or just a worker, then press the "Home" button and hold until the program "sees" the port;
• click "Start" and wait 5-6 minutes until the download is complete and the message "Succes" appears. If you need to clear the memory, then first check the “Erase NAND” box, at the end of the process, click “Stop”. Turn on the tablet again. If the port is not visible in the program after erasing, turn on the tablet, uncheck the "Erase NAND" checkbox and click "Start". There is no need to disconnect the cable;
• click Stop, disconnect the cable and turn on the tablet.

Data storage

Data storage capability is an important feature

IMPORTANT. It should also be borne in mind that the tablet OS can take up to 20% of its power.

Cameras

Photo quality is quite high

An excellent opportunity is provided by built-in cameras. The front-facing camera is great for making video calls via Skype or similar programs.

Getting Root and OS Updates

Although the usual method of getting root for Android 4.0 is not suitable, owners of a tablet with such an OS should not despair. A rather trivial way of getting root in new version OS.

Getting root rights

This does not require flashing the tablet using special programs on the computer, and most importantly, this method will not increase the firmware counter on the device.
