Many issues

I don't like this tablet.

Market problem

No Android Market / Google Play

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 applications.

Amazon Market

[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 even with free applications. I don't have a credit card!

F-Droid

F-Droid is the solution to this problem. It describes itself as "an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.".

Application compatibility

I am experiencing many issues with different applications on this tablet. Luckily F-Droid clearly tells where the issue trackers and homepages are.

I will list them in them in the table below.

ADB logcat doesn't work.

  1. I have plugged in the USB cable.
  2. USB debugging reports to be on.
  3. Device detects the cable.
  4. I have tested ADB with another device and it worked.

It's good that at least alogcat works. I haven't tested other features of adb yet.

What happens when I run it? Nothing as you can see below.

% adb logcat
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- waiting for device -
