Howdy all, registering so I can ask around about a few issues I've had with my Flytouch 2 since purchasing it about a week ago.
First thing I did after unboxing and charging my tablet was check for firmware updates. After finding version 2.1-1623 on here, I downloaded, updated (via SD card), and performed a clean factory restore.
Now, I'm not blaming the update, but...
1) Occasionally when I open the camera, or use it continuously for a hour or so, it will randomly shut off. I've heard that there are some issues with this tablet with shutting off, is there any remedy? Its VERY annoying when watching a video.
2) The wifi range sucks :/ I literally can't go downstairs and keep a signal, however on my netbook I still have 95% signal strength. Is this just an issue with the Flytouches in general?
3) The biggest issue, the GPS. I purchased this unit with the idea of using it as a GPS unit. However, my GPS. antenna connected or not, shows me in Thailand D:
I'm in Washington, as in the USA. Even if I let the device sit for 20 minutes in Google Maps or MapDroid, it shows me in Thailand. WTF
I love the little device, I really do, but I'm starting to wonder if I got a bum unit with these issues.
Can someone please help me out? After messing with mine, the girlfriend decided to order one as well. Is hers going to have the same issues?
I'm somewhat a noob to Android tablets, but I know my computers, so go ahead and throw some ideas at me.
