My first computer Gateway desktop in 2000...taught me if you don't want to spend your life on the phone on HOLD with customer service, you better have backup. Sounds like you have plenty of backup devices. Rocktab is my first handheld device and won't be my last.

I upgraded to the 2.1.6 steel and even have the QQPlayer.
Love the upgrade lfd, thank you!
Have one question about it:
Does anyone have a problem when they turn off their WIFI and try to turn it back on?
Could be the widget but, everything has worked fine, the widget included through all the other versions.
Mine says it's turned back on but, it will not reconnect. Says the network is (out of range, remembered). But if I restart it, it logs back on, no problem. I could also re-enter my pass...but that is a few hundred characters of gibberish and a pain in the butt to do, let alone remember.

I am not using wifi on/off app. Just turning off/on in settings. 2.1 the battery is still good but goes down much faster than in 1.5 for some reason. I gave a Rocktab for a gift to my son today. He lives here and will learn so much quicker than I did. Will play with it tonight for the first time. I may try 2.1 again. I converted my avi movies to mp4 format, qq player no good in 2.1 for me. Good to know it works for you. May try it again soon. There wasn't much feedback about 2.1 from the peanut gallery. Playing it safe with 1.5, I guess. 2.1 ran even smoother than 1.5 to me. Didn't freeze on me like 1.5. The toothpick is never far away from 1.5... I even put 2 toothpicks in my son's Rocktab case, he will need them I'm sure....

Thanks kristo and Greentechie for your answers. I appreciate it.
Well I tried 2.1.5 and it went really badly for me. It was stuck in looping about 50% of the time and then I had to do a system restore which erased all my apps. So I went back to 1.5. Now I wont say it's perfect but compared to the 2.1.5 it was freaking awesome on my unit. No offence meant there lfd.
But 2.1.6 elegant steel is working really well. I keep thinking there must be a solution to it only supporting MP4 files. I have found something in a beta someone made like an universal codec like the flash FLV or close to it. Not sure i am ready to try and brick it quite yet. Doing a good enough job just messing with the usual stuff. lol
Think I'll put flash on it tomorrow and see how it goes.
p.s. I use a mechanical pencil instead of the toothpicks. Although a good idea maybe a 4 penny finishing nail would work.

This is from kristo's first posting in this thread:

once all is done, plug up the rocktab to the computer

left click the internal memory (after it is mounted) and format it

After you format the internal memory it should run normally. Hope this works foryou. If not were always willing to help if we can.
Also this is a holiday weekend s probably no as many people on right now.

p.s. You format it from the desktop computer. << Just to clarify.
