I bought one of these recently, it is complete and utter rubbish.
If Moses had stumbled across a bunch of these he would've still gone for the flat rocks instead.

Again some jackasses with cold votes. Hot deal even you already have a tablet

This is the standard deal price, but it's always good to see them hit it, because it's a bargain.

Had mine about two years, sideloaded play store, and use it every day. Using it right now to type this in fact. :smile:

I followed this guide Downgrade Be careful as you can brick it.

Can you tell me how? Pretty Please! Mine arrived from Amazon today (Monday).

I've owned one of these for a while now and have found it to be great value for the money. Downgraded the firmware to 5.1.2 and then locked out the firmware upgrades. Rooted and installed play store. Runs most music apps and IPTV perfectly.

Smart thinking Batman. :-)

Sorry - for some reason HUKD didn't flag I had a response.

Nothing special to get it working for me. Open VLC, and using the hamburger menu (top left), select the local network option. I'm using an older WD MyBook Live, which has a Twonky server on it - any content in the public shares then just play.

Hehehe, fair play to that?, fair enough. :-)

last summer and was with £5 off via prime app, not cyber whatever

A bit pricey, I got this for £25 last year!

Any tablet better out there for £35???? lol

Its really important not to update the tablet when you receive it. The best thing I ever do to this is root it then install open nexus ROM with flashfire app. Its a fantastic android tablet.

The amazon experience is okay but similar to the fire phone it is limited and slow. The stripped down nexus experience is really fast and flexible, if it was not for the size I prefer this to the ipad.

I got one of these recently, its still possible to put android on it, but it auto updates once connects to wifi so you have to install staright away.

This has superior battery life to the tab 3, i think cpu wise its similar though and it has android so its got much nore selection than the FireOS.

So I'm going off on a tangent but how does this compare to the Lenovo Tab3? link

Screen feels like it is made of fine grade sandpaper.

No iPad but brilliant budget tablet.

great find OP!

Upgrade or downgrade from an hudl 2 that my daughter is currently using and needs charging for 12 hours for a full charge?

Does this work with Chromecast?

I got one recently after loads of research, I was just after something as back up to the iPad for use when I'm travelling with work/holidays etc for watching films. Probably the best 35 quid I've ever spent, I'm really happy with mine.

got one thru amazon prime for 25 quid
then got a 18 quid refund for ptroblem with usb plug so 7 quid :smiley:

Never managed to get this to work on VLC for me, always have to use BS Player to connect to the home nas. Care to share how you do it.

I have one, its very good for £35. The apps I have installed are ES Manager for installing 3rd Party apps and moving data from the Fires internal memory to SD. BBC iPlayer works for downloads offline, ITV Hub and Firefox Browser. The built in Silk web browser is ok but I found Firefox much better and works with Youtube and seems to render all websites well.

Video playback in Mp4 is fine with inbuilt Video app.

There is less choice than with Google Play or i-Tunes for apps but there are enough things re games and apps. The list of apps can be seen in the top left link from this page https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?docId=1000644603

As others have said it is a £35 tablet and it serves a purpose, if you need more then look for a more expensive device then spend more on a higher spec tablet. I have had mine since Dec 2016, The GooglePlay store Can NOT be side loaded on my device.

beautiful display... good joke

How do you show the content from this too your TV?

the most important question when buying a tab :smile:
heat added op

have two for the kids they're so unreliable you never know if Netflix or any of the apps/SD cards will work when no wifi

Is there a YouTube app for this?

Thanks.

Can you use Chromecast/Chromecast Audio with these? Use it as, say, a Spotify remote with a Chromecast Audio, fling YouTube to a Chromecast, etc?

All assuming I've put all the relevant Google stuff on it...

"Beautiful 7" IPS display"

Display is bad. Something wrong with the aspect ratio (AR) of the screen and what the tablet is trying to display AR wise. Result = skewed images

I bought 2 when they were £30, so cheap you can have one charging while using the other one.

how fast is this?

How does this compare to a 1st gen nexus 7 interms of performance? My 1st gen nexus 7 has become quite sluggish after whatever the last update for it was...

You get what you pay for with these... Good for kids... You wont be able to tell these have a quad core processor... I would spend a little extra an get a better tablet...

3 questions...

Can anyone confirm whether this tablet can fully integrate with commonly used Google Apps? Namely the following as a start:

Calendar
Mail
Docs
Hangouts etc

Secondly, a friend once told me years ago his Fire Tablet wasn't able to install Skype, has this changed? Or is it still the same?

Finally, apart from the 2 questions above, what else would I (a typical Android user) notice as being different, and most likely dislike, in this Amazon ecosystem?

Cheers!

Down grade fro Hudl 2

This table is the most basic you can get.

Only just passable for video, web and games.

I bought 2 of these black Friday 2015 thinking if one broke got a spare. That spare one still hasn't been opened. These are very well built and battery life is excellent.

can I watch netflix on it?

play store still works, but root is no longer possible...

I used this while I let my iPhone charge. It's for normal browsing and watching YouTube videos. But I dislike the material. Apart from that for this price range it's good value

I use this to watch videos on whilst travelling. It works great for that and i'm not too worried about it getting damaged or stolen.

No problem with my one. Just don't expect a full android tablet experience. I just use it for video prime, Spotify and podcasts. Stick a sd in there, load it up and endless entertainment whilst on train, holiday etc. No need to worry if it gets damaged or nicked.

Got one of there recently to throw in my work bag to catch up on films/tv series when I get half an hour on my commute. The screen was the let down for me in normal use. Seemed sort of out of focus yet when playing films it looks really crisp. Would recommend for using as a media player. And it is a steal at this price.

These are great for kids especially in combination with Prime Kids.

Great find !

Sometimes these suffer from being compared to an iPad or similar. If you think of this as an e-reader with added extras its brilliant.

The new version is 99% the same too so save £15 and grab it, i just got one from argos since i had a £20 ebay voucher and paid £30, the battery lasts a long long time and perfect for blue toothing music and for kids.

love my mum's one of these I got her when it was on offer in argos..
