Do you go to the setting to change the keyboard? I could not find updates of some of the apps i.e. HW Hearts (the playing card game). I wanted to uninstall and reinstall but could not find on Android market or Lenovo Apps market.Thanks,

Algee ... thanks for the update. After I did all the updates on my unit, the apps still would not work too. That is when I called Lenovo & was told to do the Factory Reset AFTER the updates were installed. You may wish to try this before sending it in. It worked for me.

Thank you for the information. I will try and let you know. I don't have it with me either.

Have you made certain that all system updates are up-to-date? Also, I changed from the Lenovo keyboard to the android keyboard in settings and that helped as well.

Great! Take your time and don't be nervous like I was. This is my first experience with a tablet & I just wanted to be sure it would work & have it all set up for my husband when he opens it up for his Birthday. I read *lots* of forums before I bought it & set it up. Hopefully, if you go step by step, like I did, you will have success.

Contacted Lenovo Tech Suppport .... if you're getting the Force close dialog box on your apps .... do a factory reset.

Hello,I bought the Xyboard for my fiancé. He would be able to assist you with this. How did the tablet stop working? Did you try to do the update for Jellybean?

The latest firmware upgrade includes access to Google Play. Unfortunately not all applications will load properly and you get the "incompatible device message" on few apps. Hopefully, the next firmware update will take care of this but don't hold your breath as B&N; basically is getting out of android tablet business and turning over future development to third parties.

Reset your tablet. Look for a small hole on the side of the unit that has no other apparent purpose. Stick the end of a paper clip in that hole. You should feel the button inside as it depresses. That will hopefully do it. The ultimate solution is to get a better tablet. This one is one of the worst ones out there.

I had the same problem. I have no idea what the answer is. I returned mine because the screen stopped working after less than a week. I really wanted to love this tablet.

Try to reset the tablet back to it's original "out of box" configuration. You'll have to download all your personal apps again, but that's your best shot.

I downloaded the games from Play store. Mine did not have any pre-installed either.

Good news - bad news. Contact AAA Mart,whom I assume we're the "seller". Are if you have had it less than 30 days you can get a refund from Amazon. Check Amazons A-Z gurantee. If that is an option, take it. AAA Mart has replaced mine twice for the same reason, will not charge and I am afraid to operate the third. I hope you have better luck than I have had with this tablet I think Amazon.listing this brand and I have told them so, but....... good luck from a fellow sucker

Not much to go wrong... There are some options on the Samsung to enable/disable the pen. There's a small pen that came with the tablet. Does *it* work? If so the new one isn't right. If the built in pen doesn't work, maybe it's a setting.

Return it, I had the same problem with this tablet....turned it on once, set it up, let the battery run down, charged it overnight and then when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't turn on. I did notice that the little light that indicates charging next to the screen would turn green when I turned it on and if I were to turn it off it would turn red. This indicated to me that it was charging but something was wrong with the screen or a connection somewhere. I know it's frustrating but I would just return it and get a refund and purchase a different one! Good luck!!

Don't waste your money on the Zeki. It is not a good tablet to own. I haven't tried downloading the app that you mentioned but I tried downloading other apps and none of them functioned properly.

Yes, GetJar is the way to get apps right now, I believe. As tablets have evolved, the way to download apps has changed. The Coby Kyros is limited compared to some other tablets, and that means the app place has changed and may change again to make sure that this device will still be able to get apps. My kids use this tablet to play various games, so I know that it still has use. Sometimes our wifi connections kicks this tablet offline for no reason, and I am told it is because of the way in which this tablet gets online. If you find it keeps getting kicked offline, restart the device and just be patient with it.

The pen works with the tablet, in any program. It functions as a mouse.I use the pen and tablet to browse the internet, and open applications on my desktop.If your pen isn't working in any particular program, you should check the driver, and make sure it is updated.Or you could check the settings of the program and see if there is an option you can select to enable other mouse inputs.Though for me it was set by default.Hope this helps. If it doesnt, feel free to post again, and i'll do my best to help.

looking more closely at my tablet I realize that it has a pre-installed screen protector to which you are referring . So disregard my comments which no doubt you have already done. This means that I had 2 screen protectors on my tablet which I had replaced as the on off switch or something beyond stopped working...dead tablet. I like the tablet a lot so I hope this one will last. Seems quality control is now 'return and replace.''

I've had nothing but problems with this tablet, I bought it for my niece for Christmas. Charged it and it worked for a few days then completely stopped working. I'm getting the run around on replacement as well. Good luck!

Ok. I turned my leappads off. Then plugged them in via the USB and it connected and popped up for an update. After the update I was able to sync my remaining apps. Not sure why but it worked. Give it a try I guess.Now just need to figure out how to get the same apps on multiple leappads without buying/downloading 2x. :)

There are so many possibilities... do u have a good fast WiFi connection?.. is flash player installed?... have you got an account with amazon apps and allowed all the updates for YouTube?... have you read your user manual?...this tablet has about half GB of ram (memory) and you can't have too many apps running at the same time and expect it to do YouTube too. Did it ever play videos before?
