Recently I bought both M7 and M9 pro... I find the stock pipo ROM very laggy... just updated both to Kasty ROM... so far so good.

Before updating to Kasty ROM, my M9 pro 3G will auto shutdown whenever I am using the SIM card. And both M7 and M9 cannot connect using VPN.

After updating, the problems are solved. VPN can be used after installing TUN.KO app. So far a happy user...

the 3g problem is actually the sim card never insert properly.

i tried reinsert n its ok already...

if u have those clean vcr solution can also use to clean the 3g contact point inside using a fine toothpick/needle n some tissue (avoid get stuck inside!) as the contact might be oxidise...

Hello Snoopy

Are You still on the original stock ROM or at the newest ( from Pipo ) ?
Did You also try other ROMs ( arctablet or Riley or others ) ; and if so , are those ROMs better because of beter AnTuTu or better possibilites ?

Thanks

Roland

Costing 320++ would it be better to get the Nexus 7 II ?

Pipo M7 Pro 3G Review---Updated 13 Oct 2013

Though I only had it for a week, it has so far been an amazing tablet for the price..for those interested or who are looking for an alternative tablet to major global brand ones, take a look at this baby.
Here’s my review of my new toy, Pipo M7 Pro 3G….by no means is this comprehensive, or expertly done, however I will be updating as I spend more time playing with it…in fact, too much time that I am neglecting my other duties.

Pipo…Who!?

Hello

Thanks for your info .
I am on stock kernel dated 18/8 and rom 15/8.
The pipo performs reasonly at 18500 antutu but only- from time to time - I have to reset ( once a week ... ) and am losing also -from time to time - connecting with the router . That was the reason why I contacted You as a Pro-user !

Thanks

Roland

Hi,

i need help repairing my pipo m7 too.
After 2 months of use, the accelorometer (cant rotate screen) and speakers are not working.

tried to flash different ROMs, no success.
so most probably hardware issue.

anybody knows if any shops in Sim Lim repairs pipo tablets?

Update:

Recently, out of curiosity, I tried out these Pipo stock roms ( found them in Freaktab ):

1. M7pro_#70_update_OTA-20131130-v1.0.6 ...this rom comes with quick boot ( boot in 10secs vs the usual 45s )

2. M7pro#128_892_new_ui_ZH_20140219...this is latest with new UI

Other than the cosmetic changes, I found them to be quite buggy, and performance seems to be worse off...GPS affecting my Sygic app losing connection intermittently , WiFI weaker, battery life shorter.

I am now back to the Pipo Sep 2013 firmware ( been on it since it came out ), which has been the best and most stable for my tablet, ..... my Sygic navigation is back to normal, and works flawlessly without lost connection.
No problems with this tablet so far :)

I find this app...Infolife's App Backup & Restore very good for my non rooted tablet.. in case you want to try out other roms.
