This is a very common scenario: Manufacturer creates a tablet, releases it in the market, but then shies away from providing support or even fixing any issues by providing an OTA update.
I'm suffering from one such issue (the last lollipop OTA upgrade in my Asus Fonepad ME175CG broke after which tablet drains the entire battery in just a couple of hours). Its not just me, but everyone who have bought this tablet and made the OTA upgrade is suffering from the same fate. The most troublesome aspect of this is that the OEM stopped giving new updates just after this last buggy OTA update.
Of course, like most of you people, I may have to forget about it and keep saying, "OEMs can do whatever they want", but that isn't going to stop me from trying. Call me a socialist or SJW, but the least I want to do is make sure that the OEMs think twice before giving out a half-baked OTA update that breaks an existing working device. And I believe that it can happen if enough people will sign this petition:
