Thats what i was thinking. Its like saying 'you dont have worry what load is placed on a battery because its self regulating.'

Ill have to read those papers before going any farther. 

There must be a point when the battery says 'This is too much to bear'

Sorry Raffles, I think i started ranting on another tread and when i read your post it set me off again, as what was annoying you, was the cause of 3 day nightmare for me. Its a bit of a blur..

You can get good tablets from china for around 150-200
anything new on EBay for under 100 is garbage
Take a look on Freaktab forum to find a decent one that some has done a CUSTOM ROM for several tablets made by CUBE are very good, quality wise and performance, but flashing a custom ROM is usually needed to rid it of Chinese apps, Iron out some andriod issues and replace the stock Chinese recovery with a decent English one so you can use a backup, without the need for a Chinese translator.

I have a CUBE X9 U65GT look it up you'll be surprised by the reviews. Their new one the T9 both use latest i pad high def screen aluminium chassis and 10,000 mAh battery in something that is 4 mm thick T9 is upgraded to 64bit 8-core and has 4G i have the pre 4G one Tinydeal are good to source from when you find the one you want that is well supported with ROM.

Not a truer work hath been spoken.
I use PC and have grown to Hate MS not windows but MS. They make their own rules and payoff god knows who to gain an advantage over rivals.
The IE saga went on for so long that by the time a ruling was made, IE was already sitting comfortably at the top, and only slowly diminishes when user gets so fed up with it they make the change.
Dont like the way you dont own the copy of windows you paid nearly £180 for, but only buy the right to use it  PHOOEY

It registers itself to one machines MAC ID and if you don't de-register it you can have problems if you get new computer and want to use it.

RANT RANT RANT 

Yeh i have it trying to force it on me now in the notification area of TaskBar

Didn't Buy the win 7 ultimate that i use ATM. Just grabbed the OEM that was leaked by a disgruntled MS employee and use a loader that show windows a OEM certificate at startup. Windows cant tell, says authenticated. i use a Dell certificate for my Dell laptop and a Acer certificate on my home built that has an ASUS sabertooth MB as i think Acer use Asus MB's on their machines.

Windows 10.... Not if i have pay the richest man in the world for it. Then be told i dont own my copy but rather 'lease it' from MS who can do what they like as well as withdraw it should they ever go MAD.

I think that was the way to go. I have found Chome great and made the change after having to do a windows reinstall and finding i had lost all my bookmarks.

With a Google account and Chrome all you bookmark and setting are store with Google.

Also Chrome has flash written into the browser so when there is a flash update chrome have an update wait for you.
Plus Chrome comes as a 64bit version if you have 64bit OS, dont think the 64bit firefox is even out yet.

This is the main thing with buying Chinese Gadgets and some I have had experience with since i have been away.
The Chinese are starting to make some excellent tablets and phones, and you can grab an absolute bargin...As long as you do you research before committing.
I read up on some forums Feaktab is one of the places to get all the pro's and con's and a few of their members make ROM's for quite a few of the best and most popular China has to offer.
After doing this I bought a CUBE X9 U65GT from Tinydeal.com , Who delivered with no problem.
Then i downloaded the ROM and Software etc. for doing the flash after rooting the Tab. Also grb a few nice extra's from the freaktab site, Like cool loading screen and decent easy to use recovery.
The whole thing was a bit daunting but if your slightly tech minded and computer sav'y you should manage the loading of the drivers, for instance and the flash software after a little prep work.
Ended up with a great Tablet the performs as good as a Galaxy tab for £150. 8-core 1.7mHz, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, with a 32GB flash card for extra storage.
It uses the same 9.7' high res Retina screen as in the latest i-pad 1960x1280 i think it is, with gorilla glass protective screen.  really crisp images.
Has a 10,000 mAh battery, yeh thats a battery that will keep it running with the screen on for about 14 hours use.
Play stuff like World of Tanks Blitzkrieg great, even on a screen with so many pixels.
Great tablet, Have had it 6 months now and it never misses a beat........but only if support by ROM flash.





4mm thickness dont know where they put all that battery


Made from aluminium for the chassis so strong and no creaking when your handling it.


I put Vire Launcher to replace standard Andriod interface. Has some cool 3D page turning settings and nice folders the appear recessed into your Backgroud when opened.
The latest one the Cube T9 is even better. with 64bit 8core chip and higher performing graphics chip and its 4G twin Sim, my older model is 32Bit and 3G single sim

BTW padiho Cubot although similar sounding is not the same as Cube and if its on ebay for £40-50 then they got it from China for £25 you would do better looking at that forum i listed and finding out what was good and supported with custom ROM and buying from Tinydeal.com. if you spend £50 youll get something thats selling over here for £100. People were selling the one i got with the rom preflashed for £260 on EBay at the time.

Anyone looking for a ROM for Chinese tablet or phone or other devices like tvbox should check out Freaktab Forum They cover a lot
