Just received a Hudl 2 system update

[Guest CdRsKuLL]

This is the second one I've received now, first one was one that was needed out of the box.. new details are;

 

KOT49H 20141009 

 

Not sure what it's fixed but it's good news that they are releasing updates :-)

 

hoping for 4.4.4

Does this affect the rooting process?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Almost certainly, I would not advise applying the OTA on a rooted system.

[Guest seanspotatobusiness]

But what about rooting an updated system?

 

I think I'm going to just wait until issues appear to have been ironed out. Tesco still haven't given me an RMA for my screen issue anyway. :(

[Guest PaulOBrien]

The root images are version specific, so i'll have to do a new one!

The update wouldn't install for me until I unmounted my external SD card.

 

I have enabled the File Explorer (FX) non-root Kit-Kat SD storage get around. I don't know if that's anything to do with it.,

 

Would have been nice to have a Changelog from Tesco...

Seems to have fixed a sound issue with BBC iPlayer radio and other players involving the Dolby chip...

Hi state-it

 

Cold you tell me more about the "FX File explorer non-root SD card Fix". How is it enabled and does it provide full SD card write access? I've never used FX explorer. Thanks!

Since this update, I appear to have some sort of issue with power - an hour and a half noodling about on the internet burnt 30% battery.

Any suggestions? Factory reset?

[Guest Bradshort]

Having applied the update, Hudl 2 is feeling a lot less responsive.  Boot to recovery and wiped caches but still appears as if touchscreen is lagging and a couple of apps have stopped working correctly.

 

Worth mentioning that I heavily use the Child Safety aspect, thus have two profiles . .  I wonder if it is related to my issues.

Every time I check this forum, it reaffirms why I abandoned the device after just 48 hours. I got a bad feeling about the quality control of the Hudl 2, and why I returned it for a refund. No regrets at all, judging by the sheer breadth and increasing number of complaints seen here.

PS: Yes, I'm allowed to have this opinion.

Why hang around a subforum for a device you don't have? I don't mind that you do (you help people sometimes), I just wonder why you'd stick around.

Why not.

[Guest seanspotatobusiness]

Because you don't benefit?

Listen, thank you, appreciate the thought.

Have a nice weekend :)

You are, but when your posts annoy people more than they help people, it becomes difficult to see the overall benefit of your contributions.

Its not difficult it seems so wouldn't worry.
