** SHIELD TABLETS NOW AVAILABLE & BUNDLES FROM OcUK!! **

[Adam Holland]

I'm looking at the Sam Galaxy tab S but this is cheaper and seems to do the job just as well with the added gaming side, I'm so conflicted.

I picked one of these up the other day. Really impressed with it. Awesome little tablet and I'm finding I'm using it more than my iPad Mini 2.

OTA update now done, seems to be a lot better on Lollipop

The issue I found with this tablet was the noise that came from the CPU - it drove me crazy

Im doing the update on mine now.

4 times now downloaded and installed, but keeps stopping with a dead Android

 

[niroe]

Mine is affected too, 2-4 weeks delivery time sucks

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

If you bought the tablet from Amazon, couldn't you just order a replacement from them and it wouldn't have the issue?

 

[Cyclone]

Eventually updated via full update, and I have the dodgy battery too.

Yeah you could but you might get a dodgy battery one again

 

[jrodga2k5]

Bought my tablet in the States but thankfully I'm still able to claim my replacement to my home address

I actually got a monumental scratch on the screen through stupidity so glad I'm getting a new one!

 

[hartgeh3]

Anyone got a replacement yet? coming upto 4 weeks since getting the email from them

Mine turned up today. They never sent an email letting me know it was on it's way.

 

[hartgeh3]

I got this email today..

Just be careful on the battery and version you get or it might end up burning and damaging your home.
