It's not the difficulty/ease of doing the rooting that concerns me, but the possible side-effects. :) Incidentally, as to the Tesco "T", I have since been shown that it is easy (without rooting) to stop the "T" actually doing anything (other than clicking), so the only issue is its still being...

Duplicate.

I think the symptoms vary. I made a short video here of the problem I had, which is what I've seen described by a number of other people. Also as others found, putting the Hudl to sleep and waking it up again cured the problem (until the next time). I got some other problems as well including...

You may have to root the device to get rid of the "T", but I have been told in another place how to stop it doing anything if you touch it, which is good enough for me. You go to Settings, Apps and Disable the Tesco apps (it might be just one of them, I don't know, but I disabled them all). Then...

I accidentally got a free SatNav by buying a Hudl. :) Hope it goes well. If you can get a good one it is a nice little piece of kit (IMO).

Hmmm.... Looking at the actions in that menu, not quite perhaps. :) How about this. On the right I have navigated to a folder on my PC where I want to put some pictures from my tablet. Screenshot_2013-11-16-20-38-11 by gardenersassistant, on Flickr Notice that the blue arrow at the top of...

That's odd. You have numbers across the bottom for what look like somewhat similar (but not identical) functions to those I have with the icons in the middle. Here is a link to the app I installed from the Google store. As you can see, it has the icons in the middle. Is that the one you...

I should have said that the problem that is known to Tesco is the left side unresponsive issue. On the issue of jumping out of the Kindle reader to the Tesco site, you may be doing what I find keeps happening to me, that I accidentally press on the "T" at the bottom left of the screen, and off...

It is a problem that is known to Tesco. You need to get a replacement. I think if you bought it in a store you can take it back there for a replacement. If you bought it from Tesco Direct you probably need to phone Tesco Tech Support and they can put you through to Tesco Direct to arrange a...

I'm puzzled again. I haven't installed any extras such as an SMB plugin. I can't tell how far you got with this, so what follows might or might be helpful - your tablet may be behaving differently from mine. Anyway, here I am in X-plore, with the "documents" folder on my tablet showing on...

I'm puzzled. Here is how the SwiftKey keyboard looks like for me. Screenshot_2013-11-15-20-00-41 by gardenersassistant, on Flickr If I then tap the "123" key down at the bottom left I get this, which has all four arrow keys up the middle of the keyboard. Screenshot_2013-11-15-20-00-16 by...

I think you need Android 4.0 or higher for this. Press the power button and volume down button at the same time for 1-2 seconds. You then hear a shutter noise and a screenshot turns up in the Screenshots directory. (I found it needed a little practice to get the finger coordination right.) For...

Nice find! Just installed it. It is much more intuitive, easier and quicker than ES File Manager for copying between devices, directories etc. Thanks. Bert - Here it is set up to do the same Tablet to PC transfer using ES File Manager shown in screenshots above. So much easier this way being...

Yes, I have the compass needle jumping around when the Hudl is stationary, rotating with (or somewhat along with) the Hudl as the Hudl rotates, and when it does settle it can be pointing in entirely the wrong direction. On the other hand, I just took the Hudl out for a short journey to test...

Ha! I am on my third Hudl, the first two having been defective. When discussing the problems with the first one I had an "interesting" discussion with one of the tech support people who told me that (I quote) "there is no such thing as an intermittent fault" and "the industry does not recognise...
