:( I thought this had solved my question, but after trying the suggested pattern for getting to the recovery menu AND going back onto You Tube to find if there were other ways to bring up a Recovery menu for my tablet, none of those worked. It looks like this tablet is doomed to never be able to...

BIG thanks for locating that video to show how to do this! I will back up data - just in case - before clearing cache. You're THE MAN B. Diddy!!!

Its a Onn 7" Second Generation - Model 100026191 Android Version 11. Custo, build version alps-mp-r0.mp5-V4.26.2, Build # RP1A.200720.011 release keys. Do you need further information about the Memento Database or ColorNote apps?

I have a lowly Onn tablet with Android Go edition. I use this tablet for like TWO apps (Memento Database & ColorNotes) but over time the start up has slowed from like 10 seconds to now closer to 30-45 seconds.. I suspect there is a cache or history file that may be adding to the start up time...

This is a follow up reply to my initial post. I did buy a Surf Onn 7" Gen 2 for about the same price that another Kindle Fire 7" would have cost me. I am happy with the speed in which is comes up and once I got my data transferred from the old Kindle, everything is working just fine, I am happy...

Just looked at reviews on Amazon - one user said NO Google Play store? Has that been your experience BB. Diddy?

Thanks for the insights B Diddy. There are so many 'cheap' tablets around but its hard to find specs on internal parts to get an idea about performance potential.

I'm not a gamer or video watcher. I have had a Nexus 7 (2012!) and Kindle Fire 7. The thing that drives me batty is the SLOW start up time. I can't imagine that a phone user would tolerate a 30 to 90 second start up to use that device. So it has to be a matter of internal chip sets/ram etc.. But...

My original tablet was one of the Nexus 7 - 2012. It slowed down too, but never as much as my current one - a Kindle Fire 7 (7th Generation) - has. It still takes 1 1/2 - 2 mins. to get to the home screen. And I have done everything I can to delete 'extra' apps, don't have music on it or photos...

I have had 2 different Android tablets and both took well over 30 seconds to start up. My Kindle Fire now takes 1 1/2 - 2 mins. to start up which is a BIG DRAG. I am wondering if slow start up is typical of the Android system in general? Surely people don't wait min+ for their phones to come to...

Granted my desired use of Android is probably not mainstream at all. What I'd like to do is use a 'smart TV' (with Android OS) as a HOME CENTER. I'd love to be able to use a wall mounted screen to display - 1) calendar for appointments/holidays 2) contacts lists 3) App downloads via USB/wifi 4)...

I made the mistake of thinking that upgrading my Android OS - from Kit Kat to 5.0 (don't know name) and that is what made the boot up go from about 45 seconds to now nearly 90 seconds! Yes my N7 2012 does still work well for me, but its SLOWer and seeing as how the battery has been good, when...

Its seriously OVER selection and choices when it comes to Android devices. The Reviews section isn't helpful as it assumes I already know the geek speak and differences between tablets, smart phones and all the accessory options those offer. Is there a section/forum that is just for Android...

I use this tablet off and on a few times during my day. If I leave it on (in sleep mode) it eats the battery. And having managed to keep the original battery (from 2012!) alive and healthy this long, its not worth doing the sleep mode (all the time). I am using sleep when the tablet is in...

Hi all, I am pleasantly surprised to realize that I've had my Nexus 7 (2012) for over 4 years now. I continue to rely and use it almost daily. Over time I've had a few questions and concerns, and this forum - especially the fabulous 'super geeks' (which I say with great respect and awe) - have...
