    what is the purpose of Rooting a Wi-Fi Android Tablet?

    I understand the purpose of rooting a phone that has 4G LTE capabilities with unlimited surfing data, so you could tether it and use internet as a separate wi-fi spot. but what is the purpose of rooting a Wi-Fi tablet? I was going to buy a cheap tablet, as someone recommended me Dragon Touch...

    is it illegal to root or Jailbreak your device to get unlimited WiFi internet?

    thanks for your feedback. you misunderstood me. her CELL PHONE bill alone is $200, which includes unlimited everything-texting, talking, international, internet, etc.. so if she wants hotspot activated, she'd pay way more than that. i was just saying that EVEN IF LET'S SAY SHE ALREADY HAS A...

    Settings > Apps > Downloaded it could be because I have 2 accounts on my G Pad. i just uninstalled Avast on both of them and it went away. but a few apps still say "Not installed" still. maybe i need to uninstall them on my 2nd account, or they are sitting in the download folder or something.

    i think all of my games have data that are saved locally. a few apps like Kindle is synced to my account. I just uninstalled Avast, but in the Apps section it just says 'uninstalled' instead of it being gone... weird. a few apps say the same thing even after clearing cache... well, i hope this...

    LG G Pad 8.3 - Loving it so far

    what's the purpose of rooting my device if i don't do any sort of advanced modifications? i don't wanna screw anything up. i had a co-worker that messed up his galaxy s5 after rooting it, rendering it useless.
