Note: The only system languages natively supported by this tablet are English, Spanish, French and two Asian languages. If you want to use a different language, you have to dabble with ADB/Debug mode and use apps like these:

https://play.google.com/store/app...cale&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/app...cale&hl=en

This will change *most* aspects of the OS to the desired language, but not all. I.e. the settings menu will be unaffected, as will the lockscreen and quick setting tiles, for example. But apps will usually honor the new language setting.

I confirmed this on my Trek2 HD K88 from the previous deal, which is now (mostly) set to German.

The bootloader is locked by ZTE. You can't install recovery, can't root the system. No decent ROM available.
Without community supports, it will be a pain in the ass soon.

Add 2 $10 ebay gift cards + CSAVE15OFFMARCH and you'll get %20 ($11.99) off the tablet.
I see this deal no longer says "open-box." I ordered last time and it did have a slightly tattered box taped shut. It had sticker with the IMEI followed by the unlock code, so you will need an off-network SIM before you can unlock it. Also I believe you need an active AT&T network SIM to get updates. You can activate a GoPhone Nano-SIM on a prepaid tablet data plan and you'll get the updates. You don't even need to add any credit to your account. Make sure your battery is at 100% when you check for updates.
Cheap case: $5.49 - says specific for this model. Ordered one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/232269419327

Can you let me know if you had a SIM in the tablet when you did the update, if so what SIM?

What date trick did you do? I've set the date forward after failed update attempts saying that I am up to date just to get around the waiting for 24 hours before checking again, but not sure if there is another trick I should try.

here are the exact steps i followed:

- charged to 100%
- left on charger, turned on (no SIM installed), tried to update. said latest update
- changed date, restarted
- went to update again, said update available, successfully updated

then it put in my TMO SIM and unlocked

Thanks for the detailed answer...I'll give that a try tonight.

I can't believe there are so many updates between my current one and the latest update. Mine states security patch date of June 2016 and build number ends in B11.

Just tried the exact steps, no go. It says it has the latest update and to check back in 24 hours. I have the B31 version, not the latest B33.

i put the date as april 5th. it worked on the first try. others have said they need to change the date multiple times.

pick a new date, make it april 10th or something. reset the device. try again. if it still doesn't work, change the date again putting it further forward, reset, try again. rinse and repeat until it works

I've tried many times with different dates, but got the same result. Every time It looks like it started to download the update for like 1-2 seconds, but then it just stopped and says its up to date and check back in 24 hours.

I tried to registered but it does not allow me to use any other phone number. My phone screen show Lycamobile on top left corner but I am unable to go to dial-pad. Can anybody suggest me what I need to do to get to dial-pad? I tried reset tablet but still unable to go to dial-pad..

the difference is now with the update, you can use the microSD card as internal storage

The built in dialer is for AT&T NumberSync with an AT&T account.
This tablet does not have a traditional dialer or cellular radio setup, so calls can only go as VOIP. I don't know of anyone who got a standard Android dialer to work.

I used Google Hangouts Dialer to make a couple calls and it worked ok. But, some here said Hangouts Dialer didn't work well for them. I don't know whether you can set up Hangouts to receive calls to your cell# or if it only works with a google voice#..

Adoptable storage is a new feature with Android 6, our tablets on build B29 do have that option and I formatted my card as internal.
