<h1 id="many-issues">Many issues</h1>
<p>I don't like this tablet.</p>
<h2 id="market-problem">Market problem</h2>
<h3 id="no-anroid-market-google-play">No Anroid Market / Google Play</h3>
<p>It doesn't have Android Market nor Google Play officially. Of course it can unofficially be installed, but that doesn't fix the compatibility of applicaltions.</p>
<h3 id="amazon-market">Amazon Market</h3>
<p>[Leader Interational INC], the author of this tablet, suggests installing Amazon Market in one of the papers which come with this device. This has a problem that you must give credit card details <strong>even with free applicaltions</strong>. I don't have credit card!</p>
<h3 id="f-droid"><a href="https://f-droid.org/">F-Droid</a></h3>
<p>F-Droid is the solution for this problem. It describes itself as &quot;<em>an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.</em>&quot;.</p>
<h4 id="applicaltion-compatibility">Applicaltion compatibility</h4>
<p>I am experiencing many issues with different applicaltions on this tablet. Luckily <a href="https://f-droid.org/">F-Droid</a> clearly tells where the issue trackers and homepages are.</p>
<p>I will list them in them in table below</p>

<p>Why &quot;Fix in <a href="https://f-droid.org/">F-Droid</a>&quot;? It's the only market, which I have found correctly working on this device.</p>
<h2 id="adb-logcat-doesnt-work."><a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html">ADB</a> logcat doesn't work.</h2>
<ol class="incremental" style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>I have plugged the USB cable.</li>
<li>USB debugging reports to be on.</li>
<li>Device detects the cable.</li>
<li>I have tested <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html">ADB</a> with another device and it worked.</li>
</ol>
<p>It's good that at least <a href="https://code.google.com/p/alogcat/">alogcat</a> works. I haven't tested other features of adb yet.</p>
<p>What happens when I run it? Nothing as you can see below.</p>
<pre><code>% adb logcat
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- waiting for device -</code></pre>
