Check with huawei on repair. The fact that its a 3g tablet plays a big role. See if worth the repair.

3G problems after Huawei Mediapad Repaired

My Huawei Mediapad kaput after 1 year 1 month - so no more warranty. Replaced motherboard for $200. Also upgrade firmware to official Huawei ICS. After that had 3G mobile reception problems. At home, other mobile phones can manage 3 bars signal strength but on the Huawei tablet, not even one bar!

Brought the tablet back to Huawei service centre, but they cannot do anything as the signal strength there is a full 4 bars. The service guy said that the Singtel base station is located in Central, so the mobile signal strength there is very strong. So they said that there is nothing wrong with the tablet and said that I have weak signals at my home. Told me to try M1 or Starhub 3G. Really regret repairing the tablet now.

Can only be used in areas with strong 3G signals and is useless at home and my office which have weaker mobile signals. It is strange as mobile reception on handphones is ok at both my home and office. Fortunately the Wi-Fi is working well and that is the only redeeming factor. Anyone have any idea on what is wrong with the tablet and what I can do?

If anybody have the solution to the touchscreen problem, please PM me. Mine was spoilt a couple of months already.

FYI, if anyone still interested in this tablet after all the complaints about spoilt screens below, Challenger is now selling the Mediapad 3G for only $228.

OTOH, IMO it is prob wiser to top up a bit to get the Samsung Tab 2.0 3G which has also been slashed to $299 at Courts, Newstead, Harvey Norman etc (for Challenger, the top floor still selling at $379 today although the other mini-Challengers have already reduced to $299)
