Anyone rooted there's yet? Easy/hard to do? Let's hope rom support is decent.

Although I'll give kingroot a bash as well.

Divil a bit of ROM development going on for it by the looks of it, though.

In plain and simple terms, what is 'rooting' and why would someone want to do it?

RossieMan · 30-06-2015 8:52pm

It adds some great features to your android experience. For most users, its not required. They run perfectly without it. But I'd always be a root enthusiast

Rooted mine this afternoon, easy enough. Use T3 in the options when you run the .bat file.

Tinie · 01-07-2015 9:15am

What is the reasoning behind the no tracking number, its so frustrating. I didn't get mine delivered yesterday but don't know where the item is or if they attempted delivery yesterday even.

ynwa_17 · 01-07-2015 9:31am

Mine got delivered this morning, ordered it last Wednesday, so exactly a week. Wouldn't be too worried if it didn't arrive yestreday. Couriers would've called you if they attempted delivery or, at the very least, would've left a note.

Did your status change online? I ordered mine last Wednesday but it still says order in progress.

I got an email yesterday early morning saying it had been shipped, online status changed to order complete

Mantis Toboggan · 01-07-2015 10:46am

Had to take the morning off work to be at home for delivery thanks to lenovo's archaic practices! Anyway, package arrived! #success #commitment

What are folks doing about a case for this tablet ? Any recomnedations out there.

It is an unsual shape for a standard case.

The above was posted yesterday, kinda tempted myself. Reviews look fairly good

peaceboi · 01-07-2015 12:00pm

Is this still available?? How to get it for 169e. Any codes to be used? Thanks

Afraid the code has expired at this stage.

Arrived

AstraMonti · 01-07-2015 1:40pm

After a day of usage, I don't really like the screen for browsing. For movies and gaming it's excellent, but for browsing the web is weird.

garv123 · 01-07-2015 2:08pm

Just seeing that they won't drop it to another address. Someone would gave been at home all week till tomorrow. That's a pain in the arsr for me now If they won't let s neighbour sign for it or I could sign for it at work, where we use ups a lot

Is the issue sharpness? It's been an issue for some - http://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/wip-yoga-tablet-2-display-sharpness-fix-t3008131

What browser are you using?

AstraMonti · 01-07-2015 2:34pm

I am not sure if it's sharpness, the whole font/display looks out of proportion. It's like having a monitor not in its native resolution, if I can explain that right. I 've only used chrome so far.

AngryDiMaria · 01-07-2015 4:50pm

UPS left mine in the back garden lol

turniphead · 01-07-2015 5:39pm

Ordered Monday 22nd night. Confirmation email received Tuesday 23rd afternoon. Nothing since and credit card hasn't been debited.

Anyone in a similar situation?

Mantis Toboggan · 01-07-2015 5:58pm

Which Monday?

Anyone manage to uninstall security hd from this. Tried app uninstaller but it reinstalls itself on reboot. I've tried disabling\stopping it and greenifying it all useless.

AstraMonti · 01-07-2015 6:23pm

I just disabled it through settings->apps

22nd. Lenovo even rang me the following day to confirm my order.

RossieMan · 01-07-2015 6:31pm

I ordered the 24th and heard nothing since. Here's hoping.

corwill · 01-07-2015 6:38pm

There's some hape of bloat, will definitely be rooting. Other than that, pretty chuffed with it so far.

Corwil - Yeap all lot of bloat. Any chance you'll post up what you works for you when 'rooting', thanks.

Ordered mine 23rd got shipping mail yesterday and delivery today. Like it so far.

Titanium backup with root is what you need.

Loving the stand on this, very handy.

They rang me when I was not home and left it with a neighbour.

Thanks for the reply. Not just me so. That's reassuring.

Another one here who ordered on the 24th and no update on order status. Beginning to sweat now and its not from the weather!!!!!!!!!!

skuscuoglu · 02-07-2015 11:34am

I have received mine yesterday. I have ordered on last Tuesday so it took around 1 week.

Barr · 02-07-2015 11:50am

Price is gone to €329 now :eek:. This makes the o/p a serious bargain.

funkyjebus · 02-07-2015 12:01pm

I ordered on the 24th and findmyorder still says order in progress. I rang their customer services and they gave me a ups tracking number which has the below status:

Barking, United Kingdom 02/07/2015 7:27 Arrival Scan

30/06/2015 8:00 An emergency situation or severe weather condition has delayed delivery. / Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day.

Brussels, Belgium 30/06/2015 5:08 Departure Scan

Netherlands 29/06/2015 8:01 Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Hopefully tomorrow.

RossieMan · 02-07-2015 1:14pm

Might give them a call so to see what the story is. No sign of anything with me.

MOH · 02-07-2015 4:23pm

Just got delivered today, second attempt after I missed them yesterday (had ordered the 23rd).

For anyone who's stuck at work and can't take delivery: you can use the number on the missed delivery docket to access the tracking.
The options to collect or change address are greyed out, but you do have an option to reschedule for any weekday over the next 3 weeks or so. So if you're going to be at home any of those days might give you some chance of getting it.

jayjbe · 03-07-2015 10:39am

Just off phone with Lenovo. Ordered Jun24 but not shipped yet. Given a ship date of Jul8.

It's a slow order, but customer service is responsive. Impression so far is they will honor all orders.

pah · 03-07-2015 11:46am

BA of the year so far for me.
It's at €289 now and I got an email with code TABLETDISCOUNT for €50 off, so 239 is the best you can get it now.

Just off the phone with u lenovo and ups. Ordered 24th and says shipped the 29th but ups says staff strikes in ports are causing huge delays and don't know when it will arrive. He said I could change the address it's delivered to if I'm not there when it arrives.

RossieMan · 03-07-2015 8:03pm

Didn't get a chance to call them at work. No sign of any update. A simple email saying its been delayed would be brilliant.

Give them a call if you can. If not shipped yet they'll give you a 5% refund as compensation for delay.

RossieMan · 03-07-2015 8:31pm

Cheers for that jayb. Will try and see if they're open tomorrow.

Mantis Toboggan · 03-07-2015 11:04pm

Anyone use the sky go app yet? There's a nice little stutter for me on the live streams!
