[4] The Hudl ran the Android Jelly Bean operating system[5] and was manufactured by Wistron.

In April 2014, it was announced that Tesco had sold 500,000 Hudl tablets since launch, and a new model was planned.

This does not affect the day-to-day use of the Hudl tablet, but causes massive problems when a factory reset is performed.

As stated, there are workarounds that can fix the problem (by changing the system date on the tablet), but they will only work for as long as the Tesco server remains operational – a Tesco server switch off is an inevitability with an unknown timeframe.

For this reason it is strongly recommended that users do not factory reset Hudl devices.
