Newbie & some questions!!

Postby adsnjo » February 15th, 2011, 10:07 am

Hi, just bought our scroll late last week and i have to say i'm very impressed with it considering we only paid £121 from Maplin for it!! Happy days.

i have a few questions if i may?!

In the status bar at the top on the home screen between the wifi indicator and battery life indicator, i have an icon of the tablet with a shaky type this round the sides of it? I can't for hte life of me get rid of it, although its doesn;t appear to be effecting the scroll, its just a bit annoying having it there and not knowing what it is?? Any thoughts??

I'm also having some problems with apps; for instance last night i downloaded Thunder racing 2 lite from appbrain. It seemed to install ok but the game didn;t work? Is this normal on some apps to do this? I'm no computer buff and have a balckberry phone so not used to the android 2.1?

Finally, anyone got a good site where i can download films/TV programmes and the alike?

Thansk for listening!!

The "shaky tablet" could be the vibrate function that doesnt work. I dont have my scroll to hand but im sure theres an adjustment in the settings somewhere.

By the way, welcome to the madhouse!

Turn your volume up one notch.... when you get down to a certain level it goes onto vibrate mode then go up one or i think down one and it goes away....
Oh and welcome... :D

Hi & welcome,

I could not get Thunder racing 2 lite to work on the scroll either, not all apps are compatible with the scroll
