My advice is to download Advance Task Manager and se... moreIf you are on Froyo (2.2.2) NEVER EVER use a task killer because Froyo does it better by itself!!
Try to lower the brightness from the screen to some 35% if you're indoors.
You'll be able to get at least 4 hours from your battery ;)
Btw got Latitude running? That's one bat. eater.

My advice is to download Advance Task Manager and set it to kill unused task regularly (mine is set every 30 mins). Sadly, this tablet really eats away battery especially when using 3g, i only last around 3-4 hrs with 3g on non-stop surfing. I have heard of tweaking the processor (underclocking and undervolting) but i don't have the slightest idea how to do that.

droids7, 21 Aug 2011Has anyone tried to upgrade their s7-105 with from 2.1 to 2... moreI got my S7-105 two months ago for only 100 euros(SALE)
It was new but Belcompany (a chain of telephone stores in the Netherlands) discontinued the model in their shops in favor of the Galaxy Tab :(
I then immediately updated to the Indonesian 2.2.2 and everything worked like a charm!
The only thing you have to do is putting back the APN-settings from your provider.
Flash also works perfect altough I removed it because it uses 10MB and I needed more space (for the Documents To Go app)
Just keep in mind the ROM is limited in capacity so you'll have to make priority to the apps you install because not all apps can be moved to SD.
Here are the apps I've installed:

I only got 23MB free left ;)
I'm very pleased with the tablet.
The capacitive screen works perfect.
Battery life gives me approx. 4 hours of non-stop i-net/music/gmail use.
I bought 2 extra separate batteries, a charger and a leather sleeve:

Beside the Huawei Ideos S7 I also use a Samsung Galaxy S with the following apps:

I hope this info helps you all to have even more fun with your S7

Has anyone tried to upgrade their s7-105 with from 2.1 to 2.2 using the Indonesian ROM version? I have been reading mixed reviews regarding its compatibility with the model released in the Philippines. I got mine via Globe and the default firmware is 2.1
Please post your experience on the upgrade. Much appreciated. Thanks!

For those who want to upgrade their firmware to 2.2.2.
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/huawei-ideos-s7-technical/14265-rom-huawei-ideos-s7-official-firmware-2-2-2-a.html
Update install process:
1. unrar the file, and copy/create the 'dload' folder to the root directory of a sufficiently large external SDcard formatted to FAT/FAT32 (readable by the S7)
SDcard contents should be like this :
+SDCard
-+dload
---+updata.app
---+unlmt.cfg
2. turn off the unit, and ensure that you are either plugged in with a battery inside the unit, or that you have enough charge left in your battery
3. turn on, and a progress bar will appear in the middle of the screen. Wait until "OK" is displayed on the screen.
4. turn off the unit by removing the battery and any powerplugs to the S7. **If you done this twice already, proceed to step 6
5. repeat steps 3,4 again. otherwise it will hang at boot screen (instructed by Huawei)
6. Remove the SD card and start the device. If you wish the use the card for the device, remove the firmware files from the SD card before reinserting it.
I have tested all of the above firmwares and i can say that the Sweden Expert one works best for me.
Im using Huawei IDEOS S7 - 105 from Philippines. The handset came from Globe Telecom

This was not a hit here in South Africa... and I think it's to small to be a good tablet and way to big to be a mobile phone.

It has GPS and can be used "in car" or hiking for navigation using an appropriate SIM card, in US I use AT&T Data Plan, no contract required.In UK I use T-mobile Pay as You Go with Texmonth for 5 UKP a month unlimited data.
