    Are people happy with their Hudl 2s? Was that charging issue sorted out? Thinking of buying one for my mother.

    I've had one since release and I'm well happy with it, good screen, battery life good. I did have a charging issue where if I plugged the charger in whilst it was on it wouldn't charge - it just held whatever % charge it was on. That has now been fixed as of an update about two weeks ago.

    I would recommend.

    Interesting thanks, can others confirm the charging issue is fixed because it sounds like a great tablet when not affected by that...

    Not sure about the update to Lollipop unless your root it.
    Charging issue seems to be fixed I think it's a great little tablet screen is good quality it does run a bit hot over sustained use they enabled the movement of apps to an sd card which is great. You can install a 3rd party launcher like Google to de-Tesco it and stop most of the tesco apps from running on power on.
    So I would still recommend it as a decent Andriod tablet

    Definitely no Lollipop this end, I'm non root.

    I run this thing at times from 100% battery til near flat and I have yet to see any issues, no heat either but then this is one sample - I have read about folk having issues. Now that the charging issue is fixed, for me that is, I have no problem with the Hudl2 - top piece of kit in my book. Get one, actually, get two lol

    So you would just need to put Google Now Launcher on it?
    And sorry do you need to take any Tesco stuff off it, is it tricky?

    You can't really remove the Tesco stuff you can stop most of their apps running and the Google now or any other launcher will make it boot like a standard almost stock Andriod tablet. It's not a deal breaker, just something you can do to make it more to your liking.
