It was worth a shot, sometimes little things can be overlooked and found to be the solution in the end, but not in this case, sorry i could not help.

[nic6570]

I completely agree
Thanks Charlie for highlighting it, suggesting something like that is definately necessary particularly with me!

Hi Guys,

Just saying hi, name's Pete. I'm a bit of a gadget fanatic, got various toys, linux boxes, a mac and a w7 media center android fone etc. My wife complains bitterly cos I don't just buy things and use them , I fiddle with them and generally try to get stuff to do things they weren't supposed to do!

I bought a scroll a couple of weeks ago and have been tinkering with it since. Its great to see a forum for this device, looking forward to seeing more and more as user base grows. I'm particularly interested in upgrading to 2.2 (as I'm sure most are) So I can't wait to see what Merlot comes up with.

Thanks and great work!

Thats what I like to see, a like minded person. If you have a new toy it would be rude not to tweak it.

Hello All,

bought one of these from Maplins today.

Pretty impressed with it as a piece of kit, loaded apps market first time and have added Kindle, Spotify etc.

As with everyone else I've yet to play aroud and will get the case I discovered on here.

gripes:

1. No 2.2 access is a pain for iplayer etc.
2. I really wanted skype as I use it a lot for grandparents and a mobile device would be great for a two year old who never sits still - Skype downloaded but said browser not supported - I assume a 2.1 issue?
3. Spotiy is on the kit but doesn't work I assume because I don't have an SD card?
4. I have an external harddrive - which i've attached with a usb adaptor - but it doesn't do anything - any advice apreciated in this - as I have movies and music on it?

Look forwards to seeing some advice and a potential upgrade - for the money though seems like a god find.

i have to agree with you about the iplayer point as it is pretty anoying without flash. regarding you hard drive, it needs to be formatted with FAT not NTFS

[Walshy]

Cool I'll give that a go - Any thoughts on Skype or is the the browser/flash issue?

[aeroalex]

I think that skype is very much a browser issue! It's annoying but android 2.2 would solve this

(I have the similar problem to another member here- apps downloaded after a factory reset, new gmail account etc but then have since stopped. I'm wondering whether rooting with a custom firmware might solve this? Secondly, I hope a clear step by step guide can be produced by a kind member so we can hopefully use flash on our tablets)

That would be me

I have reported this to Google as a new incident (#745580813) and also added my 2p to this thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/A ... cfb8&hl=en

I have tried everything, including various vendor.apk's, but factory reset is the only thing that works.

For now, I use my Desire HD to install an app, then use Root Explorer to find the APK in /data/app and copy it across to the Scroll and install on there.

You did use the Host USB port, yeah?

Just checking!

Walshy, even if you got skype to run the device doenst have a built in microphone (I believe that is correct anyway?)
