QUOTE(Ask_Yip @ Sep 12 2011, 09:54 AM) No I didn't. thx for the info,I am using the original carrying case only, with frequent clean up of screen and body. Already 1 month using, no regret, now I only on my laptop when I want to process my photo, otherwise surfing, games, movie, music all use my icnonia  Added on September 12, 2011, 10:02 am 1. Check the screen, my 1st unit got a small (about 1mm or less) hole on the screen glass, which one of the forumer here have the same problem with me, and he had change 3 units and still the same, maybe come from same batch. Anyway, SenQ can provide you one to one exchange with no hassle! 2. Check the screen bleed by using plain white picture, this is not a issue to me. 3. Check the USB port, SD card slot and headphone jack if you want. 4. Remember to ask SenQ for the RM 50 rebate if you buy from SenQ! 5. Check the build quality of the body, my body have a tiny defect on the back, which you wont notice it if you are not checking it carefully. I lazy to go and exchange again so I am just living with it, not effecting the function of the tablet. Remember to bring your $$$ or credit card too  No regret for the buy, value for money  how to check the tiny screen hole?? tilt the screen n see from side?? |

QUOTE(Ask_Yip @ Oct 2 2011, 06:41 PM) I believe you need to restore to stock rom 1st before you can get the OTA update it is alrd stock ROM,i think if custom ROM,it doesnt even have the option for update checking |

It came to me to go into accounts and sync. I looked at it for a moment then clicked my google account and top right clicked remove account. On starting market after wiping market app cache it asked me to log in with password (which it didn't before) that was it, job done!!! Google account restored on tablet and market working great for a good few days now and it works!!!! This post has been edited by LiMcZ: Oct 4 2011, 04:17 AM |
