Users owning this device

  • GAVtheRAV (Notes: Battery doesn't last long)
  • Magnouvean
  • The Arjdroid (Notes: Display works well. I'd suggest using a proper mobile interface but it won't be great as there's no 3D accel. My phone was already broken before using as power button was loose and battery was bad so the phone is dead now because it is stuck in the charging interface.)

Power off the device, hold down the Power and the Volume Up key for 1-2 seconds.
