How does this compare to lenovo yoga tab 2? Mine has cracked screen and repair is costly, but I'm insured with Argos.

Was going to get Samsung tab A 9.7, or would the lenovo tab 2 be comparable?

rejkin

Ha I just bought this last week for 207€ on amazon!

Great tablet, really long battery life and great screen and the sound is quite good too.

If you are looking for a tablet for watching videos and readings comics then I would definitely recommend this one.

@phobia2011: This is definitely better than the Samsung tab A 9.7 spec wise but to be honest if you like the feel of the samsung one and are only using it for netflix and internet surfing the Samsung would suit fine.

My yoga 2 screen cracked as well. Did you get a quote to repair, if so how much and where if you don't mind me asking.

Bought a screen/digitiser from eBay approx €40 delivered, handed into shop and they told me its glued to screen, will have to get new one for €150 not inc fitting🀔
Can't find any videos or guides either.

Is the same tab in the OP now €169.99 in Argos ???

No, that is the lower spec version.

Contact Amazon and point out the price drop, they might refund you the difference as a good will gesture, their CS is excellent.

Thanks, I chanced my arm and sent them an email. It's only a tenner in the end but sure why not!

E22 if you paid them E207, better in your pocket than theirs.

These are great tablets but if you have kids and want multi users avoid! I killed mine trying to edit the build.prop file to accept multi users.

Also am finding it difficult to flash it, so if you are a tinkerer stay away!

I will never understand why some companies make it so difficult to reflash devices, it must just put needless extra pressure on their custom services.

Mine is still under guarantee so I reckon a I will have to fire it off to them to get it fixed!

Mr E

I think 99% of tablet (and phone) users don't care about ROMs or reflashing.

I hope I am not getting too off track here. I tried to buy one of these using my Parcel Wizard address, the transaction would not complete using either PayPal or my Credit Card. I got this message after I hit Confirm and Pay "We can't process your payment. Please select a different payment method or check your payment details including your billing address."
I added the Parcel Wizard address to my Ebay account, but still no luck
I could not add an address in PayPal that was not in Ireland.
Any suggestions?

I recall it failed first couple of attempts for me but i thought it was something i did in error. I might have tried Paypal first time and failed. It went through using Revolut, my Irish address in the Revolut card and Parcel Wizard as my Ebay Primary.

Here's the Ebay format of mine if that make a difference.

Cheers! I kept trying and got it on order :pac:

Just wondering how people are getting on with this tablet - is it still good? I'm thinking of either the ebay outlet one, or the 179e one in argos (albeit lower specs). Also, does it definately have android 5.1 as it still say kit-kat.

Thanks.

Mine is 5.0.1 lollipop and up to date(ebay outlet). Not a bother with it, great machine.

branners69

Am also happy with mine, great for reading the free magazines you can get from the Library!

The only complaint I have is that Lenovo have stopped multi user accounts, so you can only have one account. I would like to have the choice to add another account for the kids!

That's the lower spec model. The better spec one is Tab 2 A10 70.

Missed that. I could have swore the lower spec was half that ram and storage.

Lower spec is also 1280 x 800 while the dearer model is 1200 x 1920. That one does have 32GB though while the model with the better screen only has 16GB.

For travelling, flying etc, would the 10" be too big / bulky, a strain on your eyes watching movies on, would the smaller 8" one above be better? (Never had a tablet before, it's a serious question even if it sounds wrong!).

beauf

You'd choose the smaller one only for portability. Bigger screen is always better. IMO.

if I was doing a huge amount of travelling light, I might go 8". But other than that, I'd go 10"

jinkybhoy

I bought the 10" one and brought travelling and i couldn't recommend more tbh. Best tablet i've had.

Just one issue which i know is my fault but recently the watching videos the sound is coming through very tinny and echoey - anyone know if it's just settings that need fixing?

Cantona's Collars

Argos have the 7 inch tablet for €74. Not amazing specs but might be handy for kids or a cheap one for travelling with.

If you want the blue colour is 65€

Hi is the dolby atmos working? if not google it , i did got sorted via
here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets-and/Tab-2-A10-70f-Dolby-Atmos-Fix-Reset-To-Recover/td-p/2207790

INSTRUCTIONS: Restore Dolby Atmos on Lenovo Tab 2 A 10

If Dolby begins to malfunction (locks up & won’t respond to commands), go to:
Settings
Apps
All
Dolby/Dolby Services
1. In both Dolby & Dolby Services, clear cache & clear data
2. Stop the apps — ignore warning; its already misbehaving, or you wouldn’t be there.
3. Reboot tablet
4. Go into Dolby Atmos, which should now be responsive, and reset the settings to what you like, e.g., “Rich” and 12db, in all the categories (movies, music, etc.)
The sound quality and level should now be normal, i.e., what you're used to.

Good luck! Hope this helps anyone with this problem.
good luck great tablet

Sorry this question may be slightly off topic, never used Parcel Motel before, do I just fill for delivery address, first name as my full name and surname as my PM number? All the rest will be the PM Antrim address etc and isn't an issue.

My first line has always been (first name) (last name) (pmid) with pmid in same field as last name.

Never had a problem.

Hi - bought this pad a few months back but last night I was trying to get it to read a micro card that it had been reading. Wasn't recognising that there was a sd card. I took it out and put it back in. Next thing I smell burning and the card is red hot and smoke coming out of the slot!!! - took it as quick as I could.

Tab is working fine but has anyone come across this before?

That's the lower spec model - Tesco have the higher spec on sale for €129.00 (Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70).


Edit: It was €129.00 and I used a €10 of a €50 shop voucher to get it for €119.00

I picked one up last week in Tesco Finglas

Not bad, not bad! Does the A10-70 upgrade to Marshmallow, if you happen to know?

I've been looking into it and the online world says you can sideload Marshmallow but it may be hard to do and my brick it.

I'd say you'd be doing well at this stage, I looked around a week or two ago and had no luck. Finglas or Clarehall I didn't try though, so they may be worth a go.

Or £99 in the uk. Ordered about 10 o'clock, due in parcel motel before 6pm. How long it takes to get from there is another question..
