I had to return the first one, just got a replacement and it's taking over 10 hours to charge for the first time. Is that normal?

Just got this Friday five days ago and we had the same problem. The connection wasn't good and then it started making static noises and skipping sounds. I then decided to plug it in to my computer to charge it but the cord included was no good. I was able to use a cord I had here and charge it through the computer. I am going to be calling about this though. So my answer would be NO, it shouldn't take that long.

I use a high amperage usb charger and it takes a couple of hours. I don't think this is good for this tablet as now this thing barely holds a charge.

I just got my daighter's last week and noticed that the wall adapter was defective right out of the box. No big deal for me and I switched it to another I had lying around the house. Then over the weekend, it wouldn't charge at all. After trying a few things, I discovered the charging cable was broken/shorted/not working, so I just switched it, too. The nice thing is that it will accept any standard, off-the-shelf Android charger (micro usb plug), and they are fairly common with all of the Android devices I have around. This may or may not be your problem, but I figure if I got a broken/defective plug and cord, I'm probably not the only one.

I didn't have that problem. But the instructions do say that the initial charge needs to be 6 hours or something like that.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

It usually takes around five to ten hours depending on the device that you are trying to charge.

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

The second one worked for me but the first one was defective. I waited too long to return mine so I had to cover shipping but they probably replaced it with a new one at no charge.

4 hours is on the long side. But I would not be concerned, especially on a first charge. If it takes more than six hours I would ask for a return and replacement.

I didn't have that problem, the charge last for days. It's just a poorly made product that needs better QC done on it.

I charge it over night but it shouldn't take more than about four hours. That's my estimate of the maximum of time it should take. I beleive that's how long mine takes

Mine. only took about 2 hours. I think It depends on how much of a charge it has when you get it.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

Can not really answer you on that ine. I would probably either try another charging unit to see if that was the problem or else send it back, I did find that the batter life is not what I had hoped it would be as it seemed to last about 3 hours but not much longer. That was/is my one disappointment with the unit...Barbara

Yes, I think you might have a problem. I have purchased 2, and both actually charged up with in an hour. Make sure the device you had it plugged into, to charge, didn't go to sleep, and stop charging.
