Got the wife a Zepad zt280 c91 for Christmas,great little piece of kit.I emailed the seller to ask if he could give me info on rooting this tablet to speed it up.However he said that it can't be rooted,is this true?I thought all android devices could be rooted.Is he mistaken?If so,can any advise me on rooting it?Thanks
Hi, here's a link on how to do it.
I am interested in buying one of these tablets. How have you found battery life and also the screen viewing angles?

I am thinking about purchasing a "China" phone on ebay. I have not been able to find out who the Manufacturer of this phone is. But I was wanting to know if it would be difficult to upgrade this phone to the latest version of android. I have never owned an android phone before, but I have owned a WM 6.1 phone where I had to update the phone via rom files. I am also listing the phone to see if anyone has purchased one of these before and to see what your thoughts are on it.
The phone I am looking at is Ebay #: 110618416325.
Thanks,
Johnathan
Hi Johnathan,
Upgrading a rom can be done most times, but in this case I recommend contacting the reseller before you purchase this model. Reseller's often have contact with the manufacturers, so you can ask them to contact them to answer your question. Personally I just would take a more common device but that's up to you. Good luck.
Thanks for the reply, but I decided to purchase the HTC Aria.
Hey guys,
Hey I am looking at buying the Velocity micro cruz reader r101, and was wondering if any has it and if they are having any luck at rooting it, i heard the market place doesnt come on it, and just in general was wondering if it would be a good buy for ($119) from amazon. I have been doing a lot of research and it looks like a good buy for that price on a 7 inch tablet. So any comments or anything that would be great. Thanks guys.
R101 gets a 7 out of 10 in my book
I have an R101 that I got from tigerdirect for $110... Just FYI, I have heard there have been best buy sales at $99, and I've seen them sold on eBay used for $60.
I like it... the main issue is that the touch screen doesn't accommodate my thick stubby fingers, though from what I've read on other forums, there is a "learning curve" for figuring out all the tricks to using the display. There also is not much room for apps, but there is an apps2sd script that you can use to store apps on the internal sd card, which fixes things up a bit. I wish I had another tablet to compare this one to for you, but this is my only android device (besides my nook).
The R101 has been rooted, it's very straightforward. You don't need to root it in order to use marketplace, just update the ROM. If you get the R101 (rather than the 103), then you'll want to stay clear of the 800 MHz ROM's because you do risk bricking the device. My understanding is you need to ROM it in order to root it anyway (but someone can correct me if I'm wrong).
Here are the instructions I found helpful:
just google the following:
slatedroid r101 macho cruz
and select the second result in the list (CRUZ READER ONLY - Step-by-step for Update, Root and SetCPU)
(sorry - I'm a new user so can't post links)
Using the ROM in these instructions is risky on an R101, but using the original macho cruz rom that they link to is less risky. I used the original, and I'm very happy with the results... I use my cruz probably about 20% of the time browse the web, just because it's comfortable to hold and read from. As with all tablets, typing isn't as natural as on a keyboard.
Hope this helps...
Cheers!

Thanks. my friend bought one item from 365gate.com
and get it safely with a perfect package.
Looks not bad..
I also bought a tablet from 365gate on the 5th of January and have heard nothing despite writing to them several times on their site.
I have escalated this case to Paypal and we'll see what will happen. I doubt I will get my tablet so my advice for anyone interested in buying from 365gate is to avoid it for a while.

Hi guys,
I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7" from Samsung as my promotional gift.
My idea was to sell this tablet and buy a Chinese tablet with better specs for the same price.
Max price: $175 (as I don't want to spent too much on the tablet)
I don't have any requirements that are a necessity.
EDIT: I do, must run Android.
Does anyone have any experience with any Chinese tablet?
All help is welcome.
Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if this was posted in the wrong section.
