I got a tablet from A1CS last year. it is unbranded. android tablet.
it's model number says MID, android 4.1.1. then there is kernal info and a build number
it worked really well and i was very pleased, and smug about it. Not so anymore.
i haven't used it for about six weeks and went back to it this weekend, and it's gone crazy. it behaves like it's acting out loads of key touches and does all kinds, none of which are what i want it to do. so, if i tap settings it ignores me and goes into doing all kinds of other things. I have no idea what has gone wrong with it.
i tried a system reset, which was tricky given it isn't exactly responding touches very well, so this went ahead, but it's no better. I've had difficulty reloading plenty of apps because of the problem with the screen - if indeed it is that? it looks like it's flickering. if i can get into an app, like a game, it works okay, but other apps don't. like say kindle, it just goes crazy, in fact it only seems to stabilize if playing a game.
i downloaded avg, with difficulty, and scanned it, and it did bring up a threat, but as i tried to read the threat, it turned the language of that app into god knows what, so i had to uninstall it then reinstall it, and the same thing happened again. it's so paiinfully time consuming,
i managed to get it back to english, and view the report and it said the problem is in settings. all ok in apps and content
in settings it says
unsecure priviledge mode detected
your device is running in High Privilege mode (i.e. it has been rooted)
We recommend using only genuine firmware.
for more info see our FAQS at m.avg.com
i have no idea what this means and looking on the avg website didn't help me at all. I am a total novice and really have no clue what is going on here.
i've managed to turn on something in settings that allows you to see your finger touches, and they are mad, like ghosts all over the screen, even when i'm not touching anything. what on earth has happened? it is dead and buried? it's so depressing, more so for my son than me, i just can't afford to replace it
I really hope someone on this forum can offer some explanation or help. I'm praying it's somethign simple, but i suspect it's far from it.
thanks in advance.
