Title: Sumvision Cyclone Voyager Tablet
Post by: MrTAToad on 2013-Jun-16
Decided to get a new tablet as my old 4" job was rather slow.  This Sumvision one is rather good - dual core graphics and is quick.  I haven't the beta Android programs on it yet, but previous ones are just fine.

Will have to send this one back though - the wifi suddenly wont find any networks (and will switch the setting off after a scan)...

Oh my, bad luck, sorry to hear you have to send it back.
Hopefully the next one comes fine.

Did you try any GLB on it?

I tried one of my programs from the Play Store and it ran fine - haven't tried anything with the beta yet - haven't been able too what with the first having something behind the screen and the second Wifi problems...

It seemed to have been caused by a firmware update - according to website one was needed, but as usual the version format used online is different to that used by the device.  The only thing that changed was the inability to activate Wifi...
So back it does, and I wont bother next time...

Always a shame with these China tablets. They work great until you find the one thing that is broken by software. If you try to fix it, it's getting all worse, usually. 140,- sounds like a fair price, though.
How long did the battery last?

The batter on this seems to last ages, probably around a day, even with playing games...
