I have an Epad with android 2.2 on it, it works fine, does what it says on the box, I tried tethering my phone. I can now use my apple itouch tethered to my phone but cannot get the epad to find the wifi hotspot from my phone.

Anyone else had similar problems

I received my Tablet:

10.2" Android 2.2 FROYO ZT 180 512MB RAM Tablet pc on eBay (end time 26-Mar-11 22:24:55 GMT)

And ... it is almost JUNK

The display has poor quality ... limited view angle, and lot of "clouds" effect due to not well distributed back light.

3G support is NONE ... seller change the picture of the product stating 3G just before delivery ...

Volume buttons are assigned to other functions ... that people need to learn by guessing.

Andorid 2.2 inside is very UNSTABLE ... around 50% of the application are crashing.

Fring does not recognize the camera and it crash while trying to make a call.
Included Skype is a joke ... just good for IM.

My learning is : just a tablet to give to a 3/4 years old kid for mess around with some simple kids applications.

Quite a waste of money.

You need to get the latest firmware, but fair warning: Android apps are not that good any many are unstable, they are not quality checked like Apple Apps.
The rest is about right, the camera is pointless.
It's fine for browsing and YoutubeHD, and now is used by my 4 yr old.

Here is the site to get new firmware for your ZTs with flash working.
Yes it does work. Its crap for videos but it is good enough for flash
based sites.
So here it goes ePad - Multimedia Internet Devices and hope it helps Zt users and many others.
Also I bought my from Wholesale - Buy China Wholesale Products from Chinese Wholesalers on DHgate.com. Many models products and sellers and best thing is that it accepts paypal.

For those of you that don

usual problems.
1. sd card comes up as damaged but is readable/usable in my laptop.
2. fring wont install. says epad is not suited to support it (not those words)
3. battery diabolical 1hour
4. flash downloads go thru the motions but then come up with didnt install when done.

otherwise OK

Here's a question from a newbie: Is it possible to run Microsoft 3.11 on ZT-180 tablet?

Here's a question from a newbie: Is it possible to run Microsoft 3.11 on ZT-180 tablet?

First off, why would you want to run an 18 year old operating system on a new tablet?

Next, no I do not think it is possible.

If you need Windows the ZT-180 will run CE and it available to download along with the ROM flashes.

Same old crap, China produces garbage, and you get what u pay for. I'll just go buy an AMERICAN made Apple product, and ill be happy.

Rabidgod,
I think most (maybe all) Apple products are made in China! Just with better material and quality control.
Nobody promised you a perfect equivelant of an iPad. Come back next year when the major manufacturers have polished versions with all the software and hardware kinks worked out. Then you can pay the price(75% of the Apple price) and have good reason to moan if its not perfect.

Hey, you seem to know a few bits about this.

That Penguin he talked about I have seen it on another Android Tab and if im not mistaken that Penguin is the Linux logo.
How is the tab using Linux as well as the Android OS?? doesn't make sense?

Could it be that a counter-fit version of the Android OS need's something else to support it and are using Linux as an open source OS??

Thanx

Hello, I just joined the forum. Great thread, thanks for all the info guys!
I was wondering if this is just another BS dealer, or if indeed they are releasing the Zenithink with the Cortex A8

EMS>Cortex-A8 Zenithink ePad Android OS 2.1 ZT-180 2GB - eBay (item 260648220253 end time Sep-07-10 21:08:37 PDT)

I have read the pros and cons and I still want to try this machine. Can you suggest a reputable dealer to buy it from? I checked Merimobile but they currently don't have it in stock. Also, are there any other comparable machines out there for this price range/specs?

Thanks!

Very cheap, cheaper than ebay is a good choice

2.1 The system is too old, right? 2.2 is not it? That should be much better

I bought a mini usb lan adapter aswell however mine does not seems to work.
How did you to get it work? did you have to download anything?

.

The Zenithink site has two files at the links above. Both need to be downloaded via PC and expanded from the rar files into one file folder named "ZT update".
2 files rar> 2 folders unzipped> take files from ZT image and place in "ZT update".

This folder and files need to be transferred to the device's _external_ SD card (use "copy").

---Back up all files to ext SD card or USB, because the whole internal card will be reformatted--

Do you mean all the files should be in the external card or should they be in two folders on the sd card ?
I have tried to load it on mine but its not working
thanks
