702C or 701i... Which is it...??

[CaptED]

Hi to All...

I have a Polaroid Tablet which on the Case it is PMID 702C
When I look in the about Tablet is shows PMID 701i.....

Now the reason I need to know which it truly is because I want to try one of "elektrik"
mod's

Any input would be appreciated...

Thanks
Ed

Wow, never seen THAT before...Um.....not sure what to tell you other than maybe cracking open the case to look at the hardware...I'd contact support (I say hesitantly) to ask them what's up.

Hi "Elektrik"

I would come closer to opening the Case that calling Support...

If I do what exactly would I be looking for..??

I am kind of hoping it is a 701i (because you have a mod for it)

I see you are telling about two different versions...(ie) Gingerbread
and ICS....

Once I know which it is .... I will go looking for Forum Post on each of your mod's
seeing how they are preforming...

While I have ICS I am not too nuts about it.. I can put up with it .....

Thanks Again

Here is what I finally found out ....

Hi to all Readers....

Turns out it is actually a PMID 702C with Arm7 A13 processor and 9 partitions...

There are a few hardware differences between these units. The older 701i has a mini jack video out port. It also has a hardware button for accessing the menu and a back button. The newer 702C has left off the menu and back buttons as well as the video out connection. In their place there is a face mounted “Home” button and most interestingly a camera. (This is what made me interested in the newer version.) The outer shell also varies. On the 701i the shell is fairly square and picture frame-ish. It is slightly wider to the left of the screen for some reason as well. The 702C has a much more streamlined shell that has rounded corners and tapers to the edge giving it a much thinner outer edge then the original. It also has a textured area covering much of the back of the unit. (The older units wider on the left frame, lends itself to easy holding by right handers and this may be why that edge is wider. The newer units beveled edges are harder to hold onto and this is a bit of a negative.)

A Big Thanks goes to "dolorespark" for the following info ....

Here is how to find out about Processor and Partitions...

Do I have an A10 or A13?

From the Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/cpuinfo". Look next to the 'Hardware' entry: it should say either "sun4i" (A10) or "sun5i" (A13). If it says anything else, don't use these files.

Do I have 9 or 10 partitions?

From the Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/partitions". If the last entry is "nandi", you have 9; if it's "nandj", you have 10.

Now comes the Hunt for a useful MOD...
Hints are welcome...

I could try to make a modified ROM that has Google Play/SU at least (although that'll take some time-still struggling with the modified stock with the PMID 705x

Thanks for the Offer

Hi "Elektrik"

First thanks for the offer ... I believe you have your hand full NOW...
Do not worry about it.... I am able to get Google Play and SuperUser and they both work great...

[elektrik]

ok, thanks for letting me off the hook for now, lol. if/when i get some time, maybe you'd be interested in being my guinea pig for a modded stock...
