Remember when a Chinese ship picked up pings at the right frequency, but the ship was carrying transponders on board set to that exact frequency?
Sorry, I can't find a news article about this, but I remember it and there's a comment:
"Accidentally activated", or deliberately activated to renew hope and global interest in the story as the time limit for expected battery life had almost run out?
Evidence for: the Thai military announced it had detected MH370, but no one ever asked it for its data, or which direction it saw MH370 going. Why didn't they want to know this information? Why did China, with 153 of its citizens on board, not ask?
Evidence against: the complicated satellite frequency analysis that most people can't understand, due to it being based on Doppler frequency differences that remain after the plane's equipment has already tried to account for the movement of the plane, relative to the satellite in geosynchronous orbit 36000+ km away. An analysis found that the recorded values had a high correlation with a southern route, and bad correlation with possible northern routes.

From Rogue Norwegian exploration ship refuses to give up in MH370 searchUnlike earlier 'pings' -- which were apparently in motion and transmitting at the wrong frequency for aviation --- these two pings detected were at the correct frequency of 37,5 kihz. However, they were picked up (twice) in a region where the ocean floor approaches the beacon's maximum range of 5 kilometers. Since the Haixun01 -- against all practical sense -- was carrying working transponders on board, set to 37.5 khz -- the logical conclusion is that it picked up its own beacons, accidentally activated by its own crew.
