So to get out of THAT screen and go on the internet, I tap the BACK icon (on top of the tablet) and I'm whisked to my main screen, I go to the bottom, hit the "internet icon", I then see the google search screen, but then that's it.

So how come it says I'm connected but when I leave that particular screen, I don't go anywhere.

I need to

1. Make sure that I can leave that wi fi screen (where it indicates I'm connected), and WHAT'S THE VERY NEXT STEP??

See my dilemma?

I guess I'm going to have to go outside and stand in front of a wi fi hotspot and see if I can get on FB or Ebay or WHATEVER!!!

But i have stuff to do today. So tomorrow morning, I'm bringing it to breakfast with me. Let's see if I establish a good signal.

It's the only thing that makes sense here. It's indicating that I AM connected, but then I'm NOT!!!

Hate this.

lol

SUCCESS!!!! Well, a little anyway.

I stood in my doorway and surprise, surprise, I got on the internet. First one was ebay.com Second one was Facebook (only how do you sign in if you don't know how)? Is there a special FB app that lets you sign in. I tapped the screen to try and bring up the virtual keyboard but had no luck.

Then....I went to youtube (made a video). But when I finished making MY video my tablet informed me that "Youtube does not support Flash) which you already mentioned.

So what I found out today was.

If I stand in my doorway, I can get on the internet SOMETIMES. I can't sign into anything because I don't know what I'm doing.

And then I went into another room, turned it back on, checked the wi fi signal strength IT SAID EXCELLENT. but it would not let me connect to the internet.

What the h am I doing wrong?

I'm going out later, I'll try and connect and will report back to you.

I have MUCH to learn.

I also have an online sprouting friend who is a TABLET NUT. I just found out. She has an ipad, and two androids so if anyone knows tablets it has to be her. lol

You KNOW I am emailing her with all my questions.

lol
Thanks much

Melodyh

I think I am learning more from you now! I suspect that the device itself may not have a very good wifi receiver, maybe thats why its spotty.

Well I DID get on FB and I did get to youtube (even though I can't view anything) and tomorrow I am going to my local Starbucks. That is a big wi fi hotspot right? It's 5 minutes from my house. I'll order something cheap, sit down and try to go online. I will then ask ANYBODY within ear shot "Can someone please help me with this thing?"

Do you think people are nice or not?

We'll find out

lol

HI.

I am NOT liking this tablet. Can't do anything on it. Don't like that android does not support youtube.

So here is what I'm thinking. I just need another source to get my email and access some forums. I'm thinking IPOD TOUCH. Been around for years.

So now I have questions (in case I return this $59.99 piece of you know what) and get an IPOD TOUCH.

1. It has built in wi fi right? So I just get a wi fi signal and I can access the internet right (I don't are about gaming and I do know about itunes so this can be my ipod also, because my older ipod is 7 years old). So when I go out walking, I would also have an IPOD right?

2. It uses the same operating system as the IPAD (I just did some googling on this). So CAN I ACCESS YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK with the Ipod touch?

3. And I wish someone would tell me how they sign into FB and other things with these touch tap screens. I know that the Itouch would have a virtual keyboard right?

4. I am now going to watch some youtube videos and learn the IPOD Touch. My niece has all these gadgets and I'm going to ask her to lend me an ITouch (she has a whole house full of gadgets).

So if anyone has an IPOD TOUCH, do you go on Facebook, do you go on youtube and can you get your Verizon email?

That's all i need to do.

I have a regular computer and all I need is a little portable thing to do these simple things.

Thanks much

Melody
