Hi,

I have got the tablet this week and I must say I am dissapointed. Many applications are crashing. For instance, I start the browser, want to see the tabs and the browser is gone. When I start it again I see it is starting from scratch as it is not present in RAM any more. Next time I try to open the tabs, it works. Unfortunately this is not just one case. Also other application, which were preinstalled crashed. I don't remember exactly, which. I installed some applications form Jolla Store and uninstalled them quickly because I was not able to do anything with them. Before I got anywhere the app crashed. With very limited support of applications I don't see what to do with the tablet. I am a linux geek and terminal is a nice app to have, but I have a lot of other linux computers with proper monitor and keyboard to do the command line stuff.

However, I like the hardware. So I have a question. Since taobao is selling the tablets with Android, it is obviously possible to install android on the tablet. Are there any informations how to install android on the tablet or have some kind of dual boot?

Did you upgrade the tablet to the most recent codelevel? I've found mine to be rock-solid!

When I got it it wanted to upgrade the OS and I let it. So, I guess it the latest. It it 2.0.1.17 Taalojärvi. I didn't check if this is the latest one.
