I'm stuck in a two year contract with the biggest turd of a tablet on the planet.
Where do I start? The Ellipsis 10 has a nice bright screen and a hefty battery, but anything else...forget it.
It is crap. It is junk. It is a piece of SHIT.
It takes a solid minute or more to just wake up. You have to hold the power button for at least twenty seconds before it responds, then you get the red screen of interminable waiting for it to load. Once it does, you better touch the screen immediately, otherwise it shuts OFF. Then you must go through the entire press and hold all over again.
It's connection to a wifi signal is always weak,unless, of course you're in the Verizon store itself. Then it's quite robust. Anywhere else? Forget about it.
You get odd messages: "you're not authorized access" to things like: your account. Your data usage. You can't find signal strength because, oh damn, there IS NONE, not enough to power a freaking flashlight.
It goes to sleep within a minute of activation UNLESS you're quick enough to go to settings and change it. Even so, you are only allowed thirty minutes of ''''inactivity'', then it shuts off. This is to "protect" you from leaving it on. Like I do that? Hello?
Oh, it also will shut down without any warning or reason whatsoever. The screen goes black, no matter if you're playing a game, typing an email or just reading an ebook.
Commands such as swiping to access different screens? maybe, sometimes, but seldom does it work.
Do NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP TABLET.
I bought it because I wanted to escape Samsung's bloatware. I was assured by the Verizon salesman that I wouldn't have it. Well, he was right, but Verizon and Android still seem to find ways to shovel bloatware on it.
Connections to the net, to google, to anything take a lifetime of waiting and even then,you're more apt to get a 'connection timed out, retry" You can do this, oh, fifteen or seventy times and then your Ellipsis will shut down because of INACTIVITY.
Do NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP ELLIPSIS 10 tablet.
Oh, it doesn't text, either. At least mine refuses to. Maybe this is because my cell phone is a prepaid one.
Apps sometimes work and sometimes don't. It all depends on how the piece of shit is feeling at the moment.

I got suckered into "buying" an 8. Total piece of crap. Battery will never fully charge while using it for nav. I can't wait for the contract period to expire so I can make a coaster out of this thing. Thanks, Verizon, you suck.
ReplyDeleteAmazing - I thought it was me.
ReplyDeleteI am on my second piece of shit. The first one got sent back to Verizon because it randomly shut down on a regular basis. The stupid shits in their repair department sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with it. Fortunately that particular piece of crap got lost on the way. So they sent me a new piece of shit. SAME PROBLEMS. it worked ok for about 3 months and now it is doing the same crap. Can t watch a YouTube video - it shuts down immediately. Tonight it has done it's optimizing apps bullshit (which takes about 20 minutes) TWICE. I HATE THIS EFFING PIECE OF SHIT Verizon ellipsis 10 tavlet
ReplyDeleteI got mine for free and I still feel like I got fucked
