As DanBow said.. you bought cheap tatty hardware. Put yer hand a bit deeper into yer abyss-like pockets and buy the little mites better kit than Alcatel.
Apologies for repeating myself but I will when they are old enough to appreciate it, I had a Samsung galaxy tab, it was either the E or the A, very expensive for a pile of shit, I read the reviews for many Android tablets before settling for the Alcatels also Bev has had two Alcatel phones which suited her purpose

An apology from a Yorkybarshireman.
That's going in the diary. ;)

Reading some of your posts on here, there’s most definitely something wrong with your Samsung tab!

There's a simple way to resolve this....

Which one has the coolest logo... the cute little green robot.... or a feckin' half eaten bit of mouldy old fruit..?
Nah, sorry, don’t see half eaten or mouldy old fruit on any of my Apple stuff.

Just admit that you want an iPhone (and a BMW) and be done.

I've had an 8" Samsung tab 4 for years. Just bought myself a 10" Vankyo tablet to replace it. (The tab 4 is still going strong- I just fancied a bigger screen)

Personal choice, you like what you are happy with, at one point most of my electronic products were Samsung but when the things started failing I switched to other brands, I believe the only decent things they do now are televisions.

If there's one thing I hate it's snobbish trendy consumerism and Apple epitomise that, so no I won't be buying an iPhone.

There are only 2 Beemers that I've ever wanted and both are quite old - the M coupe and the GS1100.

I'm not sure it's trendy consumerism. Thing is, once people have more than one Apple product they soon realise that they work together, which makes life so much easier. I work from home on my Mac (work laptop sits to the side just for emails) and if I want to go downstairs, put me feet up and continue on my MacBook then I can. No drama, no fuss, it just works.

M Coupe, now that was a car and a half!

I agree on iPhones re the 'trendy' bit - I recently upgraded to a 6:). - but the reason I use Apple stuff is that it just works and is really easy to set up. The days of tearing hair out are gone and I am prepared to pay a premium for that.

I suppose to a certain extent it's how comfortable you are with technology. I've spent a lot of my working life in IT and I love to fiddle with both hardware and software (stop it....).
Android lets you do that, whereas Apple doesn't, which is another reason why I'm not interested in Apple products.

Having said that, if the actual technology doesn't interest you then I can see the attraction of Apple's stuff.
