Not sure how many people went for the Scroll Evoke over the OcUK Ultima 7" tablet when stock wasn't available but I'm hoping there's a few.

I got one for my son (he's only 3 lol, but it was partly for me too ;) )

Anyway I've been having a few issues and was wondering if anyone else had the same or anything else.

Some are annoying and others worse

1st. This has to be the worst of all, the unit for the first few days constantly locked up, resulting having to use the reset button (fine when I'm at home and have something around I can use) but if I'm out and about it might be a bit of a pain. Touch wood he's been using it quite a bit today and its not been as bad, in fact I'm not sure it has locked up fully once today maybe just the odd freeze.

2nd. Can't charge the device with it powered off? I plug in the charger and power it down and it automatically restarts with the psu connected?

3rd. App Icons too close to the top edge of the screen meaning I hit the google search button rather than the app (I know I can move the app icon down but still pretty basic function that's not right)

4th. Can't charge via usb

I'm sure there's more and hopefully they will be fixed with a firmware update. Build quality is fine and the screen quality I love, IPS definitely is worth the extra I remember having a sumvision 7" tablet and whilst that had no major problems the viewing angles were terrible.

Good stuff, hope its ok for you, im going to send this back, but chances are I bet they find nothing wrong with it and it doesnt lock up for them. Time will tell
 
Sent mine back today got so fed up with the downsides of it, it has the spec to be a very nice tablet but seems Storage Options are as bad as any of the other unknown brands for support and general QC, for a comparison I got a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 Free with a Camera i bought today along with some cashback, the difference in quality is chalk and cheese, yes the evoke is a bit faster in gaming but in every other area the samsung is superior
