I have an Elonex eTouch 10.1 inch Android tablet (1000ET) with which I have had something of a love / hate relationship. The screen is great for games (angry birds particularly), browsing and video, I like the design, there are some great free apps and games available and it was cheap.
However, aside from the woeful battery life, performance has always been a bit limp. I use Advanced Task Killer to stop any unecessary tasks but even then the framerate seems to dip a lot in more complex levels on angry birds (and rio, it won't even run seasons).
After getting a Netflix subscription I was hoping to stream TV shows and movies to the tablet. First I updated the tablet to Android 2.2 (required for Netflix) using the official manufacturers upgrade, then installed the app for Netflix. Whilst technically it works, it's extremely slow with even the movie icons taking ages to load and playback is like a slideshow (but blockier and lower resolution.
I had heard that the 2.2 upgrade improved performance quite a bit on this tablet but I'm just not seeing it, in fact it seems worse than ever and I also am occassionally getting "this process has stopped responding" error messages making me wonder if the install has gone wrong somewhere.
Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of my tablet or have I got a dud?
