is there something wrong with my tablet

WayneScott

Or is it me. When I want to google a search on Gotab 7 I tap the google box but the keyboard does not appear. I tap again and maybe hold and a box comes up asking if i want to input text and how, I choose the virtual keyboard and ok

Also is there no way to go forward a page.? You can go back with arrow but not forward again.

I am not very good with tablets

It's most likely your tablet on the first problem. Afaik it is a cheap tablet. Second problem is the browser you are using. With crome you can go forward by first pressing the menu button and the option is there, on my stock Samsung browser the button to go forward is always on the top left corner.

What browser are you using??

I don't think chrome would run on that tablet, it's ICS, and just 512M RAM, singlecore processor??

But, that itself should not cause problems with just browsing, email, googling, etc.

I would give Boat Browser Mini a go.

It is good for devices which could be under powered.

Apologies, I was looking at an old spec review!!

This is yours?

So, you are probably using the Stock Android browser, which is pretty good, IMO.

You may not have flash?? For Android above ICS it is no longer available, but it can be installed OK, except for KitKat.

It can be downloaded from the Adobe archive. Link below....

Just scroll down to get Flash Player for Android 4.0 Archive, and download the latest one.

Its an apk, so you need to tick unknown sources to install it. Usually in Settings/Security....

You will also need to enable flash for your Browser(s).....just run the flash app, and select your browser first, then accept the settings. You also will need to set it up in the Browser, to play on demand, etc.

The stock browser has support for Flash in JB.

Why do you not use the YT app? Just asking, as it is better than YT in any browser??
