I would also like to know how to disable the phone features. Not that they're causing any problems, I just don't need them taking up space!
I haven't attempted to do a video chat ... but I did figure out how to take pictures with the front camera! It's simply a menu option ... I felt like a fool once I figured out how easy it was!
once rooted you can use a program called "root manager" to delete any app and/or service you dont want but BE CAREFUL if you dont know what you are doing. You WILL screw up your tablet by haphazardly deleting programs. I know from experience, but know enough how to get it back up and running. I dont use mine for phone either, and will try to delete a few and let you know whats OK to delete to save space.
Turning on airplane mode will only shut off the service.
I wanted a widget to make toggling airplane mode a bit simpler. Tried a couple but they're not killing my TMob connection, only wifi. Airplane mode works fine via the regular menu. Anybody else have this issue or know a widget that definitely works? Thanks.
