I just bought this tablet and need help: 1. How do I get Google to be the default web browser? 2. Is Kindle/Amazon App Store compatible?

it has a mind of its own. Sometimes google would pop up. I advise you to return it and get a different one. It only goes down hill from there

Truthfully, I cannot get Google Play Store to work ( even though it's a "google" tablet) . I have downloaded all of my apps rom "SlideMe" which works great -- I can watch movies on Netflix, watch "youTube", download and read from both NOOK and KINDLE apps - I SKYPE and , of course, email and internet search.. Since I can do everything I want with it when I'm away from home -- the Google Play Store doesn't bother me -- but if you can find someone to make it work - I would be interested in just knowing how..

Settings -&gt; about tablet, and one of the items on the list should be "android version" or something similar. There should also be a "system update" option. You can check for updates there and it should download it if one is available

I have this tablet. Getjar is ok, Google play is not available for it to my knowledge. Most Amazon apps & games work. When you go to buy an app on Amazon, it will show you if its ok for your tablet, or not. Good Tablet for the price. Dont waste money on an sd card unless you want to transfer stuff from another source such as pictures, music, or pc files.

install aptoide market and you should be able to find an app for reading e-pub books. and you should know that this device is really laggy, as long as you stick to general use you should be fine, don't even try to use flash player in the browser. it does not have the horsepower for it, and the best browser for this tab is at m.opera.com get the mobile phone version of the browser not the mobile tab version because it cannot handle flash. You can also use opera mini and it is a bit faster but it is not as compatible with most websites, avoid the stock browser at all cost.

This could be several things... I assume you have a user manual and know how to get to settings? In settings make sure WiFi is on and you are connected to a provider try McDonalds or your library for a good solid WiFi signal. You might have to do a factory reset if its an old used tablet. This tablet only works with amazon apps and u have to set up an account with Amazon . If you can get Google to work go to Amazon to download the app for Amazon appstore. As I always say when in doubt read the directions. You can get a user manual online.

Hello. I just purchased my tablet last week and so far love it. I have used Skype to make video calls several times and have had no problems. There are speakers on each side of the device. The sound quality is alright but nothing great. In order to play prime videos you will need to go to the link below and download the Amazon app store. It will prompt you to make changes in your settings to allow unknown software to install. You will have to click change settings and scroll down the bottom of the page when it appears and click the box by this setting. Once it installs you will have to open up the Amazon app store and download the Amazon shopping app and the amazon instant video app. If your device comes with the amazon shopping app already installed you will have to uninstall it and install the one from the amazon app store. For some reason prime instant video will not recognize the one that is installed from the Google Playstore. After that you should be able to play your videos.

You need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer; it is not pre-installed on the device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this issue; you can load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

You can call thec company before returning it to the place where you purchased it from. So far have not that problem with the tablet. When you turn it on you get a screen with default apps on it.

For now you can use amazon app store. Tried many ways to get google play and flash player installed. so far I have not had any luck. Hopefully there will be some of the modding communty getting involved soon, so the device can be rooted which will give superuser permissions to install the much needed apps.

Kindle uses an Android system but my experience is that it will only accept apps loaded through the Kindle Store. Easy enough go to the kindle store and search for it and try and download the app before you buy.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

I tend to disagree...Amazon went out of their way to make a special version of android so that only the apps they make money from or approve make them onto the kindle. I'm sure Logitech will help but it is not their fault.

Jessica, So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Mine came with the Google Play Store but it did not have FaceBook, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, or Netflix. I had to download them myself from the Play Store. The tablet that I got was one of the last in stock, right after I received it most of the sellers that had it showed "out-of-stock". So I think the last ones they sold were probably rushed through to get them available and didn't get a lot of apps preinstalled. This is the only seller I've seen who still has them in stock. And naturally they're more money than all the others I saw. Mine was $77, this guy wants $90.

Not with this tablet, heck no. I haven't been able to download a single app. As a matter of fact, apps on Google Play won't even recognize it as a mobile device! The only thing this tablet is good for is to read pdfs, send email or go online. Videos usually load extremely slowly if at all, and it hangs up every now and again, but what else can you expect for this price, right?

It is quite easy to download load the tablet comes with amazon and market place apps so I just download from those, you can also choose to download from Google play also
