Azpen A909: I can't update my tablet! What do I do?

Sat, 05 Dec 2020 15:00:38 -0700

Hi there,

The most recent software update from Android came out not too long ago and I am having some difficulty installing it on my tablet. When I go to try and update my tablet, nothing happens. It doesn't even begin to start downloading the update.

I tried backing up my tablet and saving my pictures and deleted all of my apps, but still nothing happens.

Is there something else I can do that might allow me to update it?

Thank you

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1: Why does my tablets battery drain rapidly right after fully charging?

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 12:32:43 -0700

Whenever my tablet is fully charged, and I begin to use it. The battery life will go from 100% to 70% to 50% in a matter of minutes until it shuts down completely. I am not able to get an extended use of the tablet, not even a good hour before it loses it charge. The battery just drains rapidly fast.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1: WiFi Connects and drops at random

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 20:29:46 -0700

My WiFi on the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 10.1 GTP5210 will sometimes connect to a network (if at all) and then drop connectivity after a few moments. I've performed a hard reset, a factory reset, tried multiple networks. I am wondering if this might be a physical component I can replace for a WiFi antenna and if so any recommendations on doing so. My next step is to try a firmware update but I am not hopeful.

Got the tablet for free from work because of the issue so I am trying some cheaper options to fix before giving up on it.

Hisense Sero 8: How do I replace the broken digitizer on my Hisesnse Sero 8?

Sat, 18 Jan 2020 13:00:16 -0700

(I'm a first-timer here).

Hello everyone, I dropped my Sero 8 tablet from desk height (cracking the digitizer in the process). When I turn it on, I can see my lock screen clearly (therefore the LCD must be fine), but the digitizer doesn't pick up input anywhere on the screen.

I think I know how to remove the broken digitizer, but how do I put on a new one?

And could someone provide a summary of removing the digitizer for the Sero 8 just so I can be sure I know how to do it?

What tools do I need? What tools would be useful but not essential? I know I need a blow dryer, and dinky little screwdrivers (what kind/size though?), some things to pry the screen off (and some things to put between the digitizer and the LCD prevent the adhesive from re-adhering)...

Anyone have recommendations for what I buy?

Thanks,

-Charlie

Nextbook Tablet: Unresponsive/frozen screen and shuts off after auto installed update.

Sat, 04 Jan 2020 20:51:35 -0700

I've had my Nextbook 11.6 tablet (Model No. NX16A11264) for several months now. At first just turning on the unit was tricky. I had to press the power on button several times, sometimes holding it for a few seconds. Eventually it would turn on. So I started to use the tablet and it would freeze on me. Sometimes it would just shut itself off, sometimes I had to do a hard shut down to restart the unit - that happened so much that I wanted to throw my tablet into the wall. FINALLY after a couple weeks it started acting fine.

This morning it auto updated itself and now I'm back to square one! Ugh it's so frustrating. Worse part is that the website for Nextbook is a joke. Even as I type this I've had to do a hard shut down at least five times. I wonder if this problem exists with just this one unit or does it happen with all of their tablets?

Is there any solution for a tablet that's unresponsive and keeps freezing? Is there an app that can help me with this or should I consider a factory reset? Anyone out there that can help me with this I would REALLY appreciate any comments.
