Okay, here are two new questions from me.

Isn't the picture supposed to change when you hold it another way? I've seen people turn their phones and tablets and the picture changes when they do that. My tablet (well I have to keep it upright). If I turn it, the picture does not automatically correct itself)

So. 1. Is it supposed to correct itself when I turn the tablet?
2. I just made a video showing the screen that I am seeing.

I know it's ME and not the tablet. I'm completely ignorant of this touch tap technology.

But hey, I found out how to bring up the virtual keyboard (but don't know how to make it go away)

I found out how to tap on an unlocked wi fi signal but don't know what to do after that? And when I tap on the home icon, I get a google search thing but it doesn't take me anyway.

See why I'm confused???

lol lol lol

Hey for $59.99 I'll practice till the cows come home.

I can just imagine what I would have gone through had I purchased an IPAD. NOT ready for that yet!!!

Melody
P.S. Thanks to anyone who can teach me this.

I wish someone would make a video holding this tablet and they would say "See Melody, this is how you do THIS? and THAT?

I mean, I teach sprouting to people, why can't people teach me TABLETS?

lol lol lol

Melody

I pressed SOMETHING and I got a screen that is giving me options to get lots of free stuff, like Youtube for Android 4.0 and other youtube for android stuff, and kindle stuff.

Now how on earth do I know what version of Android do I have. I have a Cruz Velocity tablet, that's all I know.

And I know I'm probably driving all of you crazy but I AM LEARNING.

lol

Melody

Hmm, reading the manual makes it sound like you have to have a Google account to use the damn thing, then use the widgets to get around, like Chrome, GPS, calendar and stuff...

There has got to be a way to access just a normal browser without signing in.....maybe I will Google it...

Google it, Google it and TEACH ME

lol

Melody

I found it it's Android 2.2. Now maybe I have to download some app or widget (what the heck is a widget anyway? lol)

I have MUCH to learn, but I know me, once I get it, I'LL GET IT!!!!

And this is so much different than using a desktop computer. Been using computers for over 30 years. Back in the day my company chose me (our of 200 employees) to be the only one to go to IBM computer school. They then gave me the first desktop in my office. And the first dot matrix printer.

I remember this like it was yesterday. And now I have this toy in my hand that I go tap tap tap and I'm supposed to go on the internet??

funny
Melody

what if you type http://www.youtube.com/ into the search area?

Oh I was thinking you had the Nexus ...



Since YouTube videos are mainly FLV (Flash Video) files, and Adobe Flash is unsupported on Android 2.0, YouTube through the browser app is not natively supported on the Cruz. See also for more info: Will it work on my Cruz?

A 3rd party app like the ones mentioned here can provide some YouTube video playback functionality.

app YouTube is a low-res app available online.

appSkyfire is another app that allows for some Flash video functionality.

Not sure which model # you have T 100 etc?

I have no idea which model I have. It just says Cruz Velocity. And there are SO many Android tablets up on youtuber (including Cruz Velocity) but they are for people WHO know what they are doing.

And if I can't get on youtube, and I can't get on Facebook, WHY can't I get on FB. See, I just need to know if I need to download an app. Because if I can't get on FB and I can't view youtube, what good is this Tablet? And I wonder if I can go on yahoo. I'll keep trying and if you hear anything, please let me know.

Thanks much

Melody

P.S. I have figured out how to use this thing. I know how to bring up wi fi and it indicates I'm CONNECTED. It says Connected to linksys. So I brought up the virtual keyboard and typed in ebay.com, yahoo,com and anything else. It just brought me back to google search where all the links were for these websites.

So I tapped on ebay.com. Brought me to google search again. Tapped on yahoo.com (hoping this would bring me to yahoo.com).

Nope, I just got a google search thing again.

Which tells me I am NOT on the internet.

Later on today I am bringing this to a computer guy who has a store a few blocks from where I live. He has a router. If he CAN'T get me on the internet, then I am returning this thing.

I mean, what the heck is a tablet for if not to get you on the internet.

Thanks much

Melody

Question Number 1.
Don't I have to be ON THE INTERNET to download an ap??
Question Number 2.
When I tap on Linksys it says:
linksys -
Status - connected
Security - Open
Signal Strength - Fair
Link speed - 52Mbps
Then it gives the IP address
Then it gives me the option to Forget or to Cancel (I know what this means).

so what do you make of this?

Thanks much
Melody

Maybe I am UNCONNECTING myself when leaving that screen?
When I am viewing the Wi Fi connections (all the stuff has locks next to them, and then there is the word linksys which is unsecured). So in order for me to try and go on the internet, what I have been doing is tapping on the home button, bringing up the virtual keyboard and going nowhere.

Exactly what do I do (to go on the internet) while I am viewing all the wifi choices.

It indicates I'm connected. Exactly what do I do next to go on the internet?

Do I not tap on the home button which brings me to the main screen?

This might be my problem. So if someone can tell me "Melody, while you have all the wi-fi options in front of you and you see that it says connected, THIS IS WHAT YOU TAP NEXT to get on the internet.

Once I know THIS, I just might be able to do SOMETHING.

Thanks much
Melody
P.S. And this is a good question. Does it indicate on the main screen that I am CONNECTED. I don't know what I have to see for me to say "Oh, I'm getting good signal strength, I'm connected" thanks

Oh, I looked at the upper right (where there are supposed to be bars??) No bars

it would be nice if there was a 10in screen version
