If you can't take it back to the store for a refund or exchange, you might want to do a factory reset. This thread explains the process. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/craig-tablets/12139-how-prepare-cmp738a-factory-reset-firmware-update.html

Wow. Lots of good work. Thanks! To improve the looks of the home page I would suggest Zeam. Google the terms XDA and ZEAM to find the developer thread. Works good for me even running the non-rooted 2.2 Rom. There are folks over on slatedroid working on the market issue.

Sorry yours had a problem. My wifi was a littl flaky at first, but since a switch to ch. 6, it's doing fine at home :) EDIT: After using the Wifi for a few more days, it still seems to work fine with my el cheapo 802.11g router at home and free wifi spots like Starbucks. At work, they...

Good advice. I downloaded the apk from xda dev and installed perfectly. Much better. :)

Ding ... I think the 4.2 Rom is faster for me too. Wonder if the JIT is turned off in this new version from Craig?

Yeah, a screen protector wouldnt hurt either. I keep meaning to buy one, but haven't done it yet. I am guessing that ones for the nook color would fit?

Mine is still as smooth as when I bought almost three weeks ago. Been using it alot too. But mainly using the stylus rather than my finger or finger nail.

Downloaded and flashed the "official" Craig 2.2 last night. Based on my very limited usage so far: Pros: - Craig actually provided an "official" 2.2 ROM. Good job! (Something not too many lower-end vendors have done.) - I had an issue with connecting to a Cisco wireless access point under...

Craig hasn't posted the 2.2 firmware yet (at least the last time I checked which was yesterday). If you really need 2.2 now, Shad did release a "beta" Froyo 2.2. ROM for the Craig. He wasn't able to develop it much, before his Craig flash memory died. I've tried the beta ROM and most...

I've been playing with the tools and there are some really good ones there. Thanks for taking the time to assemble them. On the Cpuboost, I'm not sure I have it figured out, but I've been using Caffiene mark to test when its working. Any idea how high I can clock this thing?

I am definitely looking at a 2G Coby, mainly because Tipstir says the 1G was so good. Don't know about the 8" screen though. I think I would prefer a higher res 7".

Tipstit, the power pack is very cool. Thanks for providing it. One question - does the Flash player run on the Cmp738a? At all? Does it require the Froyo ROM? Doesn't seem to run on 4.2 eclair, but it did install OK. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I found a $3 easel in the "arts and crafts" section of a Wal-mart. They had wooden ones and metal ones. I went with wood, because it was cheaper. (Wish more of these cheaper tablets would have the built-in tilt stand. One of few I've seen with one is the Wits 81E/G.)...

Good to know on the Coby. The Telechips CPU is speced a bit higher than the Rockchip 2818, so that makes sense. I haven't played with one myself, but I've seen them in stores here. I was quite tempted to buy that eLocity A7 from shopnbc.com last month, but it seems the capacitive multitouch...

Did you try Shad's Froyo (Android 2.2) ROM? I haven't flashed it yet, but he did one Froyo version that still had a few bugs, from what I gather. I'll probably give it a try soon, just to say I gave it a spin. Start EDIT On future Flash compatibility, I saw on another forum that somebody...

Well, for what it is, with all of the tweaks that you and Shad have given us, it's OK. Again, I thank you for all the good info and the time you've spent. Otherwise I would have taken it back immediately! And if had to rely on this thing for my only source of connectivity or productivity, I...

Well, playing with this Craig is sort of a challenge, for those of us who like to tinker, I think. :) If I keep mine, it will probably be given to my son, which is what the guy in the first video said was his plan. Once I put Shad's 4.3 ROM on mine, Market worked fine (think I cleared the app...

tipstir -based on your experiences interacting with the Craig folks....and my prior (limited) experience with other Craig products in the past, I would not hold my breath on seeing the upgraded 2.2 ROM for this model anytime soon. And I certainly wouldn't hold out hope that this thing would...

I flashed to Shad's 4.3 ROM last night and wow! Night and day when it comes to functionality. Full market access...wooohoo! But no real difference in battery usage that I can see. About battery life, I am getting just about three hours after a full charge...that is full time surfing the web...
