Many issues

I don’t like this tablet.

Market problem

No Anroid 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 applicaltions.

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 applicaltions. I don’t have credit card!

F-Droid

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

Applicaltion compatibility

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

I will list them in them in table below

<tr>
    <td>Barcode Scanner crashes when started</td>
    <td>No</td>
    <td>No</td>
    <td>[#1377 - zxing - Google Project Hosting]</td>
    <td><center>-</center></td>
</tr>

ADB logcat doesn’t work.

I have plugged the USB cable.
USB debugging reports to be on.
Device detects the cable.
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 -
