Hi. I'm a real newbie regarding Android devices. I have an Onda v712 that I bought yesterday. I'm from iOS, I know some stuffs about it like how to jailbreak, restore, unlock etc. Going to Android, I'm a total starnger. So here are my questions that I hope get answered. >.<
1) Is there a root for this device? How? And what are the benefits of rooting?
2) Is my device already updated? I've been reading about updates in this forum about the facebook not working etc but can't figure out how to do it, And is it not the same with the check for updates on the settings? It says mine is updated, so it means mine is updated?
3) Can I update this to Jellybean? I've read on other sites that it comes with ICS but support Jellybean update, but like what I've said, I check the update on the settings and it says mine is updated
4)How to save downloaded games on the SD card instead on the internal mem.
Sorry for the questions, and I hope I get a step by step guide for a newbie like me. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
