Hey, Folks!
My lovely wife bought me a Meiying M10 8GB (runs on gingerbread 2.3), and I'm having some real problems. I've managed to download 1 of the 20 or so apps I've wanted to download since I got it 6 days ago. The browser crawls. I'm connected to my home wireless network, and yet it takes minutes to load a page that my crappy dell laptop (sitting 1 foot away), loads in less than a second, if the page loads at all. Accessing the android market is possible, yet fraught with network errors and re-try prompts. Even when I connect to my PC and download apps through my browser, nothing comes up. The app installer app finds no .apk files anywhere, and the download counter that pops up from moment to moment never says I have any more than 2% of a file. The only app I've been able to dload is the advanced task killer, and I'm still not entirely sure whether I did that through the wireless or through my laptop. I've messed with the settings, left the device inches from my wireless router, used voodoo and other dark, unclean magics to try to nudge it along, but nothing's working.
Meiying has no tech support. No number, no website, no contact info to be found on the web. No info in the incredibly basic and underwhelming instruction manual, which claims that I should be able to download applications easily. The reviews of this tablet that I could find are all limited to one page of the dinodirect sales site where she bought it, and have all obviously been written by the same person with the same bad grammar and limited command of the English language. Video reviews on YouTube aren't even reviews, just vids of people playing with the tablet to classical piano music. Everybody online seems happy with the M11, but there is no info to be had on the M10. So, ignoring that sinking feeling you get when you buy a used car and the dealership closes down and leaves town en masse the next day, I've had to come up with some theories of my own:
1- This is a shiny Chinese paperweight that my wife and I have only mistaken for a droid tablet.
2- The fact that I own a droid phone (a Sony/Ericsson Xperia) somehow confused my tablet when I connected it to my PC
3 - I've failed, somehow, to configure the system to American networks. Why this might happen, while using a bare-bones, enthusiastically basic instruction manual written in 3rd grade English, is beyond me.
4 - I'm doing something else wrong (see issues in theory #3).
Help?
Thanks,
Nate
