FAQs:
Q1: Why do Viwoods paper tablets need the "Google Authorization" process?
It's because Google doesn't grant GMS (Google Mobile Services) certification to every Android 13 device by default. Google separates the core Android system (AOSP), known as AOSP (Android Open Source Project), from its proprietary Google services (GMS). AOSP is open-source and freely available for manufacturers to build their systems, but GMS is a licensed package that includes Google's apps and APIs.
Viwoods supports users to activate them manually through a simple authorization process to offer more control and still make it easy to access Google Workspace like Gmail, Google Drive, and the Play Store, whenever you're ready to use them.
Q2: What should I do when Google Chrome fails to open?
If Google Chrome won't launch or crashes unexpectedly, the first thing to try is toggling Google Service off and then back on:
1. Go to Settings > Play Store.
2. Toggle Google Service off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
3. Restart the device if needed, then relaunch Chrome.
Q3: How do I clear the system cache on Viwoods?
Clearing the system cache is a quick way to keep your Viwoods tablet running smoothly.
Just long-press the Home button to bring up the task manager. Swipe through the active apps, then tap the "×" on any app to remove it from recent tasks and free up system memory. It's a fast, no-risk way to free up RAM and ensure your paper tablet stays as fluid and responsive as intended.
Whether using the larger AiPaper for digital note-taking or the compact AiPaper Mini on the go, activating the Google Play Store opens up a world of powerful tools without complicating your workflow. And with that flexibility built in, Viwoods adapts to your routines and lets you decide when and how to bring more functionality into focus.
