So did anyone successfully install the 4.4.2 firmware to their Iota tablet? If so are you able to access the full 16gb partition?

I got my G-Tab on October 6th. It came with Android version 4.4.2. I haven't had any problems with room for apps or anything.

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

Mine came with 4.2.2 I believe it was originally released with 4.1.1 but they updated it to 4.2.2 in June or July. They've also released a few firmware updates since then. It is fairly easy to update and now have true 1080P output. They also fixed the problem where sdcards and usb media were being 'dropped'. I'm in the military and currently TDY. I've been using my cx-919 to chat with my family on skype with a MS HD-5000 webcam and playing games. I've been loving beach buggy blitz and drag racing on the big screen playing with a wireless game pad.

mine came with 4.0 on it even thought it didn't say that on the ad. yes you can upgrade memory by buying a mini sd chip I put 16 gig in mine. This has been a great tablet for the price.

Update to Jellybean...Who knows. Android is not consistent with updates. But who really cares. If you keep waiting for the next "big" update you'll never buy anything. It comes with 4.1 I believe and works just fine. The update itself if really simple. It just does it pretty much all by itself and is free. Nothing to worry about. Just use the tablet and enjoy.

Mine came with 4.2.2. I'm almost certain all will come with this firmware. If not, it's very easy to flash new firmware/ROM.smithmal

You can't update by yourself. Irulu engineer is working on it. If they got the driver out, they will release on their official website. For now, all of tablets have been upgradet to 4.4 at this model.

I can't answer for 6 months, but as for mine, I've had it installed for just over 4 months, and I've had -zero- issues with the SD card becoming corrupt. I have even gone so far as to flash the firmware twice without issue. I'm pretty rough on mine, too....lots of mode changes and bluetooth activity. I read the same reviews you did, and I was cautious. So far, so good.

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

YOU ARE CORRECT!!! Your response prompted me to update my firmware and give it a go. I admit I have been lazy and was going on my expierience with a 2GB Sansa e200 that pooped out on me a while back. The new firmware in my e280 View does fully integrate the card although one does have to wait longer for the boot up. I only used a 2GB card in the e280 and don't know if it will take a larger one. At this point I will likely get a Fuse 8GB with the 8GB expansion and just get additional chips to switch out as needed. I still don't like the disposable nature of non-replacable batteries but then, I haven't seen a reasonable alternative that had replacable batteries. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP YOU ARE CORRECT!!!

I just upgraded mine to Android 4.4.2, go to Settings -> About tablet -> System Update.The update file size is around 890MB, so make sure you have plenty battery power left or just plug it to outlet.

Hi! I must say you did a great job!!! Thank you very very much! It was so frustrating to see unworking memory. People from Leapfrog did nothing to solve the problem. Thanks again for your kind help regarding SD recognition problem.Another problem is how to remove files. The synchronisation doesn't works. Did you try it?I would appreciate very match your help.Cheers

yes however install all 8.0 updates prior to downloading 8.1, as there are over a 120 plus updates i downloaded 20 at a time or the tablet will lock up. doesn't take long,

Ooops: read below for someone else's actual experience with this. My original post: I suggest that you research the consequences of the upgrade, before doing it. I read somewhere that, on 4.3, you can read & write to the micro SD card (if you install one, of course), but that you cannot write to it (while installed), once the upgrade has been performed. Subject to your verification and the wisdom of others. Just something I read after I had already upgraded. BTW, upgrade was pretty effortless, FWIW.

I managed to upgrade it to 4.0 before I sold it. It was a simple upgrade. Unfortunately, it still wasnt completely stable.
