Any new Ellipsis 7 owners care to tell me what they think of their new tablet?

[dburk79]

To be honest I hate mine had it a month and needed to input the PUK sim code a number of times and just did a factory reset on it i think its junk. My nephews Leap Frog tablet works way better than this said excuse for technology.

Why didn't you return the device within the return policy period if you were having so much trouble with it?

[mkat22]

I hate it.  I've had ipads for years and I thought perhaps this might be a good way out of apple dependence.  NOT. This is a horrible cheap product.  Unreliable, constantly rebooting and resetting itself. Nothing intuitive about it.  Hate it! I've had it three months and will get rid of it very soon.

Junk!! Slow,unresponsive, keep getting notices I have new email but they aren't new. It was free but data is $10monthly. Not worth it, I'd rather have a Samsung tablet.

[mkat22]

totally agree with you.  not even worth the free tablet! 

[Patience_Gone]

I didn't like mine either.  $70 restocking fee plus $30 activation was too much to send it back though.

The Ellipsis tablet is junk.  It only has 1 GB of storage allocated to apps and there is so much pre-loaded crap on it that even those apps can't update for lack of space.  You can't put apps on an SD card.  It doesn't even have enough capacity to update its own operating system.  Don't waste your money.  Even if the tablet is free (which mine was before Christmas), it is still more trouble than it's worth.  Unless Verizon sends a software update that frees up more space for apps, it is a useless device.

[Ann154]

A software update isn't going to fix a hardware limitation.

Sorry you folks aren't happy.  My wife went to this from a Tab 7.7 and after a month she said she is quite satisfied and that I should take over the Tab as my own.  The Tab is a little old but meets my needs and the Ellipsis 7 is obviously meeting hers.

[thomasr1950]

Why doesn't vzw address the issues? Tablet is slow'....,doesn't respondrespond very well.

What would you like verizon to do?

They don't make the device so I would jump on the device maker.

However folks knew it had limited storage and it would have been better to research the tablet before accepting it. Either as free or paid

Verizon can do nothing to make the tablet work any better than it was designed to do.

Good Luck

I have the same exact issue and they are finally sending me a new sim card, this think is a frustrating piece of crap! I just turned it off and am on my 5 year old laptop. I wish I could send this thing back but I had it past the ten days before I figured out it was garbage. Worst product I have ever purchased in my life!

[Darrylbowen1959]

Personally I am having no issues. I have an iPad 3 plus a new laptop plus brand new LG G3 but this littler guy sticks right with me. Best part is that in my office everyone falls back to  3g but this little guy keeps humming at 4g so I sit landscape and monitor personal mail. My iPad as not cell enabled so this fills a nice gap.

My only real question is where do I find downloaded PDF files.

Any help with that would be much appreciated!

[#15]

Click on the apps icon. Go to "Downloads" click it.

Your .PDF Adobe files should show up there.

Good Luck

[Darrylbowen1959]

Got it, thanks.  Still doing fine with it.  I do agree battery life could be better but then that's not so much a comment as a suggestion for the next iteration.

[#17]

Oops you replied to the wrong person. I replied to save-ferris

Good Luck

[Issy79RAY]

Honestly, the longer I keep it the more disappointing it is!!  The battery life on it is absolutely awful.  I charged it completed yesterday to 100%, did not use it and this morning it is at 13% charge.  No major apps are running in the background. It has the update from January that supposedly helped with the issue but it did not major. Tells me it was worse prior to that and that does not sound good.  I am going to see about getting another tablet, not this brand!

[Joe_at_the_beach]

I Have had mine for about 6 months.  My assessment.

Pluses: I like the size. I like having always available connection.

Cons: Mediocre screen, mediocre performance, poor quality cameras, substandard storage. SD card limited to storing media files and documents. You can't move programs even with Kitkat version of Android (4.4.2)

I got it free during a promotion and it is worth every penny I paid.

[save-ferris]

I agree.   Bought two for business.  I was originally told I could port two numbers over for my devices.  Lie number one.  After a week of using one of the devices, one night it started getting really hot and finally went out completely.  Called the store and was told to bring it in for an exchange. Got to the store a few days later only to be told by another salesman( the guy I talked to was conveintly on vacation) that they do not do exchanges on the store.Lie number two.  Great, so he ordered a pick up of the device and a few days later a shipping box came in.  I sent it off and got it back about 2 weeks.  While waiting for the tablet to come back I used the other tablet. In the meantime I had decided to upgrade my wireless modem and use it at home because I was assured the tablet could be tethered to a laptop or simply used as a mobile hot spot. After a few hours of tech support and a hard reset later the issue is still not able to use the tablet as as a hotspot. Lie number three.

If you have any doubts why you shouldn't get the tablet, just look at the online opinion poll. Well over half ( think 60% to 70%)  are dissatisfied with this tablet. 

This thing is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

No class action is allowed per US Supreme Court.

Good Luck
