Guest gith Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I'm going to buy a Hudl 2 next month when my birthday comes around, and I've a few functionality questions. - Does the Hudl 2 support USB OTG? If so; does it need to be rooted? - Has anyone tried a USB 3g Modem with the H2? (this obviously requires an otg cable) - What's the ACTUAL battery capacity in mAh? I've seen "estimated battery life" but no solid numbers. - Is the rooting process going to be made easier? I like the stock android experience, and this is just about 99% stock, only with the Tesco Launcher - When rooted, is the myTesco launcher difficult to remove, or is it a case of find the .apk in a root manager and delete? Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, gith. Edited October 24, 2014 by gith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave UK Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Cant answer all your questions, but can hopefully help with he first one! Someone in another thread has used a USB OTG to connect an xbox controller and stated they wasnt rooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 There's very little if anything to be gained by 'deleting' the Tesco 'My Tesco' launcher - even without rooting just load another launcher from the Play store and set it as the default launcher.

Yes, I just downloaded the Google Now launcher from the Play store. Works like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gith Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I dislike custom launchers, they add more bloat to a device in my experience. Rooting gives you more opportunities anyway, so getting rid of the mT launcher is something I might as well do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that if you delete the bloat instead of just hiding or (where applicable) freezing it, future updates can fail and put your device in a permanent boot loop. At least, that's what I read happened to some Hudl1 users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gith Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Well, I didn't neccesarily mean what I said by delete; my particular root toolkit of choice includes the option to freeze applications so that's what I'd do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this obviously requires an otg cable) ----------------------- On my Hudl 1 I had to root it to use a USB 2G modem and an app from Playstore - I did try connecting to HUDL 2 but was not recognised, so it may be that it has to be rooted for this to work like the HUDL 1.
