All the best, man. The company is non existent. I've sent numerous emails to the support link, and to date? Nothing, no reply, nothing.

The tablet does have a great battery life, it is responsive, find a firmware update button/link/applet? Not a chance.

If you find a way to root it, please, post it here?

Cheers and good luck.

I just got my TC970 rooted!!!

Check out Nemus Launcher.
Has similar features like the go launcher but runs really smooth on my Tc970

I just got my TC970 rooted!!!

So what does it mean to have your tablet rooted??

 

[heikokaftan]

Hey guys, while rooting and doing all kinds of other testing I messed up something. I need this apk from a tc970: latinime.apk you can find that in /system/app
Would someone be so kind to upload that or send it to me?
Please!!!!

Mine came yesterday but I have found two problems already. Any assist would be of great help.

1. I downloaded the new firmware (three times) and it tells me the file is bad. I've tried three sd cards, three downloads, two different sd card formats (fat and fat32) and ALL efforts have ended in bad file error message.

2. The home screen is in landscape and I cannot get it to change, however open an app and it rotates like it is supposed to. Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

^They made a couple adjustments to the lastest firmware, and it was just uploaded yesterday^

As for the screen, maybe your lock button (small slider on the top) needs to be re-opened...I have had a couple times I had to release the lock and re-lock, but that has worked for me so far. It's mostly been after a re-start. But mine was the other way around...I wanted to lock it so it wouldn't flip, not unlock it so it would. But it's worked on mine.

Are you sure it's not your SD card? I had a similar problem using one in my android phone. My SD card would work fine on my desktop, but the phone would not read it right. I got a different SD card and it works fine now. Might be a similar problem.

I also just received my TC970 a couple days ago. I've not been able to get it to auto-rotate (I do have that turned ON in the Settings). In fact the only time I've seen it display in protrait mode was when I use the TV Guide App. I messed with the HOLD button several times.

I should mention I have not updated the firmware yet.

Hi Steven, welcome to the forum, you're off to a good start. It's not often I see a new member helping out with their first post, usually they're asking for help. Nice to have you with us here at Android tablets.

Got it to work. I finally tried a class 6 sd card rather than the one Le Pan sent or the class 4 I had been trying. It worked fine. Le Pan service mentioned the error would happen when the file was not there or the sd card was absent so I wondered about the sd cards being to slow.

Anyway much happier

The rotate is livable but ??? the switch doesn't seem to affect it other than locking apps as it should.

Good Day, I'll be 80 this year and have been working with computers since I was 16 (first mechanical then analog and now digital),
Retired now, my working experience has been with Manufacturing and Test Engineering. My Android equipment consists of 2 E-book readers and 3 7"tablets. When I saw the value/cost of the Le Pan TC 970 I couldn't pass it buy. Should get mine Friday, Can't wait to open it up. I hope to come up with modifications to Ipod attachments. Sure could use a complete schematic only have the 30 pin connector pinout. Hope you don't mind a hardware guy here. Doesn't appear to be blogs for hardware modifiers.

 

[Sir_Cusfreak]

Borvis, there is hardware info:

Theres a bunch of hardware info there and in the thread that came from.

Enjoy.

Last week I saw the TC 970 on sale at one of the "deal of the day" sites and decided to do a search on Google for reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to find many positive reviews. I have been looking for the last 6 months for a decent "budget" tablet and when I saw this I jumped on it. Should be getting my Le Pan in the next day or two....I'm psyched!!
