ReplyDeleteim sorry guys im not really a tech savvy person.. what do you mean to root the device??
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny, there are games that will save itself on the phone storage (even if the default is set on SD, unless you will root the device) and the downside (according to Arjay) there is only 2.2GB of available storage for your apps and games.
ReplyDeleteCandy Crush and Temple Run can be downloaded and will run without lag on this device.

ReplyDeleteKATA T2 (Performance) | Ainol NOVO 7 VENUS (Display)
ReplyDeleteill go for Performance... ive heard that CM fusion Bolt Tablet is based n Ainol Novo 7 venus..... and although it has Quadcore CPU.... it seems that it runs like a Dualcore processor... yung Brand daw po ng CPU na ginamit ay hindi kilala...mabilis din daw magDRAIN yung battery dahil quadcore... tapos halos same performance lng ng Dual Core yung quadcore nila....technically its a Quadcore... pero sa performance.. prang DUAL core lang daw siya....kaya malakas kumain ng battery... kaya ill go for T2... Ty! ^^
ReplyDeleteSupported po yung 3G USB dongle.
ReplyDeleteIve no problem sa Specs... Ok yung brand ng CPU at GPU nya but How bout the ,service WARRANTY/DURABILITY/Quality? Matibay po ba ang overall na pgkakaBUILD ng KATA T2? ..Mejo bago po kasi para sakin ang Brand na KATA... mejo naTRAUMA kasi ako sa CM Flame kong binili last time, mejo nabasa lang ng ulan yung screen, (as in konting patak lang) pinasok na ng Tubig yung screen... ayun, sira na... dinala ko siya sa Service center ng CM,,, at mejo PAHIRAPAN sa pagpapaAYOS sakanila...parang AYAW nilang gawin.... at konting Bagsak lang nagkakaPROBLEMA na... ayoko na talaga ng CM.... kaya plano ko na magkaroon sana ng KATA T2... kaya po gusto ko malaman kung OK ba yung qulaity at service warranty niya? and BTW salamat po sa answer niyo... i really appreciated it..... sana po di kayo magSAWA na sagutin po ang mga tanong ko... hihihi (0^_^o)... Ty,,more powers!
ReplyDeleteHello, I Juz wnna ask kng SUPPORTED po ba ng KATA T2 ang 3G(USB) Dongle? and How bout the ,service WARRANTY/DURABILITY/Quality? Matibay po ang Gadgets made by KATA? ..Mejo bago po kasi para sakin ang Brand na KATA,,, Salamat po .. (=^_^=)
ReplyDeleteHello GUYZ! Can u tell me which ONE is the BETTER TABLET PC, KATA T2 or Ainol NOVO 7 VENUS? ( http://www.ainol-novo.com/ainol-novo-7-venus-tablet-pc-7-inch-android-4-1-jelly-bean-dual-camera-bluetooth-gps.html )
ReplyDeleteAbout that gadget worth 1200, do you remember the name? I'm planning to buy T2 pretty soon...
ReplyDeleteHi Adrian,
ReplyDeleteI bought my son a Kata T2 and unfortunately, there is no settings were you can set SD as your default storage for downloaded apps. You need to manually move your downloaded apps from internal to SD.
Adrian
ReplyDeleteHow to I set the microSD as the main storage for downloaded apps?
Thank you for sharing your experience with the device :)
ReplyDeleteI bought Kata T2 just recently. I admit that I'm having second thoughts about buying one since its specs is too good to be true :).
ReplyDeleteBut after using it the first time, I was impressed. The screen is so sensitive unlike other low cost androids in the market. The specifications is also great, appearance design is so elegant for a gadget that costs only 8K. Try it yourself, you wont regret it. My hubby also loves it and I trust his judgment as he is a known techie who knows everything about computer/gadget specifications.
I heard from my brother that this unit can also be used for text and call function, you just need to buy a gadget worth 1200.
Hope this helps.
T2 is a good buy.
ReplyDeleteMali400 yan..
ReplyDeletekata looks very promising really... i got a hold of one unit, not a slight difference to the Samsung unit that i am using..its cheaper and elegant..i tried buying unit from Wellcom but they are selling trash...lot of people are complaining about their products and i was one of them...KATA is better..
ReplyDeletemeron bang google play ang kata t2 just want to know thanks...
ReplyDeleteMeron po
ReplyDeletepano iroot ang T2 tablet?
ReplyDeletemini review for kata t2. 5mp decent camera wla lang flash pero ganyan naman ang tablet eh dka bmli ng tablet for the camera. mblis sya at kahit anung hd games eh sure na gagana sa kanya with no lag. may otg may hdmi ano pa hanap mo dba?. tapos 1 year replacement warranty pa matagal ma low bat at maganda ang screen nya. only negative na mssbi ko eh dahil jelly bean sya eh ang masaklap lang eh 2.2gb lang pwde mo install na apps and games dhil hnd nga pwde sa sd card mag lagay at install ng apps and games. unless i root mo pero ayoko muna i root cguro after na ng 1 year warranty. pero for 8k php sulit na sulit na sya bakit ka pa bibili ng mamahaling tablet like ipad samsung at nexus? bili ka nalang ng 3x kata t2 kesa bili ka ng ipad hehehehe tapos regalo mo sa anak mo nanay mo kapatid mo gf mo friend mo gets hehehe cant wait if ever magka kata t3.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeletemas ok sana kung may SIM slot, for 3G, call and text :-(
ReplyDeletebuy a phablet instead of a tablet
ReplyDeleteanu po GPU nto? PowerVR SGX 531 din b?
ReplyDeletequad core mali 400 = same gpu as samsung galaxy s3
ReplyDeleteEven the app "App 2 SD" can't move the apps from internal storage to SD card.
ReplyDeleteyup yan ang downside ng jelly bean unless i root mo ang device mo pero saka mo na yun gawin after ng 1 year replacement warranty period
ReplyDeletemay kata t2 ako at sa pagkakaalam ko kapag Jelly Bean kana eh you cant install games on your sd card tested ko na yan same as samsung galaxy s3. sobrang gnda ng kata t2 pero dahil jelly bean sya eh ang masaklap lang eh 2.2gb lang pwde mo install na apps and games dhil hnd nga pwde sa sd card mag lagay at install ng apps and games. pero kung totoo ngang pwde eh please make a tutorial pero i doubt it unless i root mo pero ayoko muna i root cguro after na ng 1 year warranty
ReplyDeleteOwtel sold me 6 defective kata minibooks http://consumerwelfarephilippines.blogspot.com/2013/08/complaint-owtel-philippines-defective-kata-minibook.html
ReplyDeleteWith regards to this, Another helpful app is the CLEAN MASTER. Every time you finish installing a new App. It will prompt you if you want to transfer it to your SD Card (then it will guide you through the process)
ReplyDeleteQuestions lang po regarding Kata T2.
ReplyDelete1. Paano magbawas ng excess slides sa Home screen? (I currently have 5, but 1 slide is enough for me)
2. Then, sa Apps Menu. Pwede pa bang ma organize ang mga Icons? Like ilagay sila sa separate folders o di kaya I-manually arrange?
Salamat po.
hello, ung t2 ko po lging nghahang, nid lgi ireset pno po ky mgndng gwin dun?no ky cra non?
ReplyDeleteI really like my Kata iDroidS but it needs fixing on the touch screen. Where can I have it fixed? Also my i1 has no Sim Tool Kit when I bought it from the store at SM Manila. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello po Admin Adrian. Hope you can help me with my query. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Kata "if your KATA iDroid S is beyond warranty, we regret to inform you however we may no longer be able to repair the unit. With regard to your KATA i1, we'll be checking on that and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!"
