bajsf — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:18:20 GMT

Was excited to receive it, but...has to be returned..

love the 9" size but

does not respond to touch basically have to touch and hold hard to get it to respond

to wake up...pushing the start button takes a long time and a couple of tries

charged it for almost 5 hours today, and nothing...still at 36% battery life

mounted the SD card and froze the tablet had to hit restart on the back

so disappointed..

anyone else returning or having problems..

All I can tell you is to buy an iPad. It will not disappoint.

Every single low budget, low end Android tablet is like this. Be it from Haier, PanDigital or the local seven eleven. Always has, always will. There is not low cost options to tablets that do what they say they will do.

You may want to look at the Nexus 7 32GB (2013) edition. I have been using mine for two weeks. It is a nice tablet running Android 4.4. You may want to consider the Samsung Galaxy3 8"" Tab.

ITA; my ipad is better than any android tablet I have used....save your money and buy yourself an ipad; you won't regret it! I think most of the android ones I see now on QVC are junk.

I have one those "junk" tablets of which you write. I've been using it for over a year without a problem. Granted it's not as slick as my daughter's iPad but it does what I need it to do. Oh, and it cost me about $80.

You don't have to have an IPad. But buy a known brand with decent ratings and think about YOUR needs. Not everyone needs the latest, greatest, most expensive. Look for lots of reviews for the tablet being used the way you will use it.

Also, consider a refurbished IPad from Apple. Even an IPad 2. Hubby is a hot shot tech guy and is still happy with his 2. He is getting a new one for his bd, but only because I don't know what to get him and he's worn the old 2 slick--but it is still working!

I agree. Any of the low budget tablets are junk. Get a Kindle Fire HDX. Beats an ipad in my book!

You can get Adobe Flash. You have to download and install it manually from their site. Then get Dolphin Browser (or any browser that supports Flash) from the Play Store, and turn on Flash Player in the Dolphin settings. I have it on my S3 and Tab 3, and it works great on both.

Not everyone needs an iPad. Frankly, the two Apple products I tried I hated, an iPod Touch and a Shuffle. Returned them both and got exactly what I REALLY wanted for a lot cheaper.

What exactly did you hate about them?

We are all so different. My iPod Touch is my favorite material possession. I can't live without it. What did you get in its place?

During holiday season, I bought a 7 inch Samsung Galaxy 3 as my first tablet and I didn't like it at all. I returned it. I didn't feel it was very responsive or fast enough. The 8 inch is better and more powerful, but at that point I decided to ask for a 1st generation iPad mini as a Christmas gift because it was a good price at Target. No tablet will ever beat a traditional laptop for me, but I've really been enjoying my iPad mini.

I love my Nook HD! It was only $150, no problems setting up to my wifi, is very fast, the screen resolution is the same as Apple tabs. and other high end tablets, and it never fails my uses. And it is over 8 inches. I bought mine at Target. Added a memory card. I can access Google Chrome. I just added the Turner Classic Movies app, and that works great, 100%. What more could you ask for?!

The one I checked out had one review and it was dreadful. I didn't look at them any further. Not really wanting a pad that badly, but if and when I do, it surely won't be a Haier. Then again, it also won't be an IPad...

I too am disappointed and will be returning the tablet. Such poor screen resolution that it gave me a headache. No matter what angle, the text is never crisp. Also experienced the same issues with the touchscreen being poor and unresponsive. Have to tap multiple times to get it to respond. You get what you pay for indeed.
