Android A500 HELP!!

[scurtis3893]

I have an Acer A500 version 3.2.1 kernal version 2.6.36.3+
I recently purchased this and yes its used but very good condition and i have been having issues with web pages loading. I would start up the browser and after about 10-15 minutes of going page to page the pages would stop loading as if it stalled. The thing is it wasnt as if i was loosing connection or leaving it for a long while on one page. I would then have to restart the tablet but then again it does the same thing. I was curious if there is a setting or update i need to change or if this is just a lemon and need to sell it? PLEASE HELP!! thank you.

Welcome to the forum. You may indeed be having a problem with communicating with your WiFi. You can be connected but still have issues with the connection for various reasons. I have a link in my signature with some suggestions that may help.

If you have access to a source, you can try an alternative browser. Opera mobil, Pandora, Firefox, etc.
By access, if you have Google Play or Amazon Appstore, you could install the browser via them.
Just seeing if a problem is browser specific or common to (more than one) may help.

There is no reason why you can't update the OS to ICS 4.0.3.

Yes, that would probably resolve the WiFi problem.
