Guest Paul Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thought i'd start this topic (although mine hasn't arrived yet). B) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nos Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just been playing with mine, seems good so far, mostly it's pretty responsive though the on screen keyboard seems a little laggy when typing. Also keep getting an error when trying to add widgets to the home screen, not sure if this is down to some software customisation from Advent?

Guest Paul Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Which keyboard does it come with? Stock Android? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nos Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Not sure, not had an Android device before so can't say if it's stock. Viewing angles also aren't brilliant, but at this price point I didn't expect them to be. Also unable to find any kind of app store on it, might just be being dumb though B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gavlar Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I can't find any app store either. Also keyboard was being a pain in the ass... I switched it off and back on again and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TylerDurdenK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just unboxed mine and plugged it in. What would you like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkoUK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just unboxed mine and plugged it in. What would you like to know? Do a video please. Viewing angles. Youtube HD video playback. Responsiveness. Get LauncherPro loaded on ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evil Kaz Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Could you give us an idea of how well the flash video playback works please, maybe visit a few flash heavy sites? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shutdown Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 iplayer and video playback screen responsiveness and viewing angles please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkoUK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Either the Vega has been a cunning WMD and exploded in each users hands or people are far too busy (selfish B) ) to post quick feedback on it. Please tell us how it is with flash video etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shutdown Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i think the excitement of these things actually turning has meant there's been a few clean-ups on aisle 4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TylerDurdenK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Okay, I'll do my best. For comparison I have used an ipad but not much, and my phone is an HTC Hero with Froyo. Feels very responsive in general. Viewing Angles are not great, but when looking straight on the screen appears bright with good colours. Flash video works. I'll test some videos now. One thing is there is no marketplace, so I don't know how to install any new apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alfe Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 general feel of the product please? (Lucky gits!!) Does flash video play in the likes of 4od Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bisto321 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah, Video playback would be interesting. My folio, the tegra2 power monster that it was, struggled badly with my HD(720 and 1080p) MKV's - but my little single core (+powerVR graphics) tab plays them smooth as silk. Another example of the Toshiba 'optimisations' I believe. Hope the Vega is better, it's got to be surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nos Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Overall the device feels alright, seems well put together. Has anyone tried USB on it yet? I plugged in a fat32 formatted USB pen but it didn't seem to be able to view any files on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest debs626 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just to let you know, I've installed AppBrain with no problems :) I get the widget error too Nos. I think the viewing angles are pretty decent, could be better but I'm not complaining B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TylerDurdenK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 general feel of the product please? (Lucky gits!!) Does flash video play in the likes of 4od I think it feels pretty solid, not perhaps up to the ipads feel, but decent enough. Just tried out iPlayer, and it works well. I'll try 4od too if you like.

Guest Bisto321 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 One thing is there is no marketplace, so I don't know how to install any new apps. When you say market place do you mean AppsLib? The Advent has been allowed to use the archos site I believe - is it not on it? You can download the APK from here - http://appslib.com/download/index.html Google market is not on it - sorry if I am stating the obvious.

Guest shutdown Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 there's an update for the vega on: http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/ no idea what that fixes but just in case it fixes any widget errors or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 That's only a boot image update, so I doubt that will fix widget issues. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the reasons lots took it back. Do we have any ex(current?) folio users that are getting Vega's today who could judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
