Hi a couple of questions

Just got a cheap tablet just for 1 app really as nether of us can ever find a phone with the app on it when we need it so the tablet stays in lounge.

Never had android stuff before Mrs has always had apple kit and ive always had windows or apple.

1 how do you get to the sound on power on so i can delete it or at least turn it off its sooooo irritating and loud in the morning.

2 how to get the tablet to reliably connect to wifi that has hidden ssid all the other wifi device in the house 2 iphones. windows phone, 2 netbooks a laptop, smart tv, ip cameras all connect with no issues but this tablet sometimes will sometimes wont !! if i turn ssid on it connects every time with no issue. This does seem to be an issue on the net generally but there are a million and 1 fixes ive tried a few but none seem to work.
 
The make or name may be a help....Every tablet named or China generic will have a volume setting,Unless there is a setting in the menu for boot up etc then your stuck with it and can just turn volume off,I'm guessing it's a cheap all winner type of tab..I'm intrigued to know what the app is that you need the tab for..and as you said if it's cheap then you can expect issues with wifi etc so if you find away that gets it to connect then stick to that.
 
what about downloading the a app like wi-fi keep alive? On my tablet lenovo s8-50 tab the sound on start up is controlled by the volumn on the side.
 
The sound buttons on the side controls overall volume except on start-up it does diddly.

There is a sound set-up I found that lets you control touch and effects and other sound levels but nothing for the start-up sound.

The o/s is android 4.4.2 if that helps the tablet is a quad core Chinese thing tbh it seems well made, and everthing works ok ive looked at except these two things, i know diddly about android.

Ill have a look at wifi keep alive as an app, i have found hiddenwifi enabler which looks promising but ill have to look properly tomorrow as its a bit iffy doing IT adjustment with alcohol.....when it doesnt work at all in the morning you have no idea what you did......lol I remember fixing a winnt 4 server issue on night yeah right it didnt boot at all in the morning.

The app is Heos for Denon multi-room audio, the app works fine on the iphone but as I said we can never find a phone to add tracks to play list or find different music etc. The android app is much better perhaps because its on a bigger screen but it seems more intuitive. The intention is for the tablet to just be in lounge for anybody to use.
 
I had a chinese allwinder 7" tab for a couple of years and they are garbage, I got mine because it had a cortex a9 processor and loads of people reoommended them. If you compare them to the lenovo s8-tab I got this christmas at £129.00 there is no comparision. My relations also had the same type of tab and they had the same problems of it loosing connection to the net and being generally slow. Asus are doing a trade in at the moment where to trade in your old tablet and buy there tab with the intel 3745 chip and you get £50.00 back. So you can get a new fast tab for £49.00.

Tesco practically giving away Hudl 2s at the moment if anyone is in the market. £69 refurbished or £89 new if you use the £10 off code. Amazing bit of kit for the price.
 
I just got a hudl 2 today quite impressed so far I'm wondering now what's the point, does the same as my phone but less comfortable,
