Came in sealed box. Guy said it was new...not a return. Brought it home. First clue something odd...no screen protector (except for 2nd one.) Second clue: battery completely dead...0%. Turned it on and it booted directly into Tap-n-Talk....no welcome or setup. There was Angry Birds and half a dozen other "downloaded" applications on it.
Connected to network and it said it wanted to do update. Let it do update. Rebooted.
First fail. Went to youtube.com app. Videos skipped horribly and wouldn't cache. Tried several...same results.
Went into settings/security and reset to factory.
Rebooted. This time it took me through setup screens.
Reconnected to local WIFI network and played video I previously had problem with. Started to play better...even cache...but then huge skips in frames and sound. Didn't play end of video. Tried another video. Voice and image way out of synch.
This shouldn't happen with the stock machine, right? I'm guessing it must have some hardware problem and was probably a return.
