5.0 Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is there a software update available for my tablet? All tablet firm wares are posted on http://downloads.pointofview-online.com 2) I downloaded [app name] and now it doesnt work (properly)? Android software was initially developed for mobile phones and some have no support for Android devices with larger screens. Try to update the software or find a compatible alternative app. This incompatibility also sometimes occurs with software written for previous Android versions. 3) How can I manually install an APK file? By default, it is not possible to manually install APK files. To enable this you have to enable the setting Unknown sources. This can be found in the settings menu -> Security. 4) My battery is only lasting xx hours! The operating time of the tablet on one battery load depends very much on the specific tasks that is has to perform. WiFi, Bluetooth and other wireless communication technologies are known to consume a lot of energy. Also CPU intensive applications such as games and HD video clips can use up the energy of the battery fast. To maximize the duration of your battery, you can optimize the following settings: - Choose a low or dynamic screen brightness - A short press on the power button will directly place the tablet in standby mode - Download an App killer to clear the memory from previous started apps - Disable Wireless devices when not using them - Remove USB devices (these use power as well) - Avoid use/charging extremely hot or cold environments 5) Can the tablet charge through USB? Yes, however it will charge quite slow due to the limited power the USB port (500mAh) can supply. The charger can supply up to 2A and will charge much faster.
