Will this tablet receive the latest Android updates for the operating system? Thanks

I bought this tablet beginning of 2015. It was working really well until a month ago when Facebook and Skype stopped working. I reboot the device to the factory settings, download Facebook and Skype apps from Apple Store again and they don't work. Who's to blame? Dell or Apple Store?

I've looked into that issue, but all I could find out is that the tablet has to be "rooted" in order for the newer version of the android software to be installed. If it is not done correctly, It could render the tablet useless.

Yes, the operating system can be updated and will do so automatically if you direct to update. Frankly, you're serving as a beta tester. I didn't like the first version of Lollipop but the updates two weeks later fixed the biggest problems.

It came with an update that put Google play on it. Honestly, this was a great tablet that still worked nice when I got rid of it, but two years later there are better tablets with newer OS for the same price. Shop around before you decide.

I think so but only by techies.this manufacturer now has a firmware update on its website. I have updated mine.That's a good sign. This tablet is excellent in my opinion.

Don't know the tablet stopped working along time ago with the latest Android update. An update TMAX doesn't support

At the present time you cannot update this tablet to Android 2.2 (or even 2.1). Unless Velocity Micro decides to make an update of the OS and decides to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 for that upgrade, you will never be able to use the later versions of Android (you could, if you knew how, root the device and try to update the OS -- I don't know how myself, and I believe that there are no instructions on the internet to do so with this tablet. Some users are pessimistic about the likelihood of there being updates that consist of a more modern Android OS. You might want to wait a while until tablets that use Honeycomb come out which should make a tablet much more functional -- since Google is designing Honeycomb to function on tablets. As you know, Android 1 and 2 were made exclusively for cell phones.

According to this list, posted on Samsung's web site, the Galaxy Tab 3 will get a KitKat upgrade. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00059206&fm_seq=82024 You can indeed update it now, but to do so will require hackery. You could read about how to do that on www.xda-developers.com. If you're willing to wait for the official upgrade from Samsung, it should be a much easier process.

It have android 4.0 and in my case i was asked to update to 4.0.4 in the first start. For what i readed, a Jelly Bean upgrade is planned for the end of this month. Good Luck!

The latest firmware upgrade includes access to Google Play. Unfortunately not all applications will load properly and you get the "incompatible device message" on few apps. Hopefully, the next firmware update will take care of this but don't hold your breath as B&N; basically is getting out of android tablet business and turning over future development to third parties.

It originally came with 4.0, but it received regular updates until 4.3 jelly bean. It is NOT scheduled for a 4.4 kit Kat update. If you get one with an OS below 4.3 you can update it to 4.3. I received over the air updates on mine with each new release.

I don't know if it is or not. However, the OS updates regularly. The latest update was Android 5.0.2.

It's no longer getting Android OS updates. I think it stopped at 4.2.2. There is a way to get later versions of Android on it (unofficially), but this requires some after market modifications (not for the technology impaired).

No, it does not. In fact, that's the main reason I regret having bought this tablet. Without the update many of the apps in the Play Store are not compatible. Do yourself a favor ... buy a better tablet. Mine mainly sits on the floor collecting dust with my wish to buy something better. Hope this helps.

No not at all. I was told to wait for the update. Nice. Nothing was said in the write up it wasn't ready for the android.

Minor updates, but not major. It will not go higher than 4.2 "Jelly Bean". I do not think ASUS is investing any time in this tablet because of its age.
