Read this before you read the negative reviews!! Turning 1-star reviews into 5-star!
I have three of these devices. I was happily sailing along without any problems and didn't understand the negative reviews ... until it happened to me. Problem/Solution 1: First I had the unexpected power-off problem. It happened two or three times before I figured it out. I was holding the device along the right edge (where the power and volume buttons are). Holding it with one hand right along the right edge can cause the front case to squeeze together with the back case along the side where the buttons are located. Apparently this can activate the power button mechanism and shut the device off. Do not hold the device in such a way that you accidentally apply pressure along the right edge! Problem/Solution 2: Today the device would not turn on. Nor would it display the charging screen (the big battery that fills up with green to indicate battery level while it is charging). So I held down the power button and the volume button simultaneously for about 20 to 30 seconds. (Another reviewer implies that it should be the "volume down" button. I did not pay attention to the position of my finger on the volume button.) The battery charging screen came up (because the charger was attached). Then pressing the power button caused the device to start up. All my apps and saved settings were still intact. The display resolution is excellent. The battery life is phenomenal. The battery charges fast. Internal memory (2GB) is adequate to most needs. Not my needs, so I sometimes have to kill processes that Android automatically loads upon startup. Then I have enough memory. I emphasize that this is not typical for most users. (One of my favorite apps is a memory hog, but with good reason.) Internal storage is adequate (16GB). If you need more, you can add an additional memory card. I use an additional 128GB card. Anything else you'd like to know?
