I've only been able to download one app & now I keep getting error message, "Error retrieving information from server". Wi-Fi is fine. Any ideas?

I can download Apps just fine. Well the Wi-Fi may not be fine that's why you are getting that error message.

I am actually experiencing the same thing. I sent amazon customer service a message and I am waiting for a response. I think its a glitch in the tablet. I purchased 5 Tablets and only one of them is giving trouble.

Download a diffrent app store like amazon or some other which would allow you to download android apps!

I am getting the same response on my tablet....it's also is telling me I have a server error and won't download any apps. Then, it switches and tells me my Google account is not recognized. Other than that, the internet works great and the tablet is fast....

I got this same message upon setup. Never got to download anything. Sent it back. If it had these issues right out of the box it was faulty and not worth my time. Sorry.

Eleanor - not sure I can fully answer this. We don't yet have wireless in our house, so I have not downloaded many apps/games. I did download 3 free games on there for my daughter (from Google Play) and we were able to play 2 of them, but not the 3rd...but I have had the same problem on my Android phone before.

you go to settings / network / wifi active what if. Then you can download the applications only have q googleplay login with a gmail account and voila, you load the virtual store of applications.

So far i have had no problems dowmloading apps or games. You might wanna try going to the app or games website and directlu download it that might solve your problem. The only other thing I cam think of is the particular app might not be compatible with this device.

All you have to do is hold down the lock button to turn it on. As far as downloading apps, click on the thing in your top right corner, that's all your apps, and to download more go to the play store and search by name or by catagory. Hope this was helpful! feel free to reply with any other questions. :)

I have an issue with keeping myself logged in on my wi fi, the unit keeps turning off the connection. Besides that, l have no issues downloading or using apps from google play. I have, however, run into issues with Amazon apps.

I kept having an error and nothing fixed it so I had to buy a new one. You can try resetting it to see if that will help.

Yes I think u can when they purchase a third party app u just goto the learning lodge and u should be able to download it from there via wi fi. not totally positive but im pretty sure!

No luck yet...I've even tried rebooting. I guess the next step would be to doctor it, in case some other app update somehow affected it.

the only way to download apps is from the amazon app store or quick jar. It is not a google play compatible device. If app store wont work the only way Ive found to get it back is to factory reset the tablet and start from scratch. Basically the tablet is worthless. I tossed mine. Complete waste of money.

Is your memory full? Do you have the device to save downloads to your SD card or internal memory? Do you have an SD card in it and the settings are trying to save to the card? Is your wireless connection preventing the download?

You should go to the google play store in your browser and find the app. If it allows you to download the app to your phone, then you're fine. It's a good idea to get extra memory because if you don't have enough, your phone will start lagging. Also, most of the apps that show up on your phone are downloadable. Some of the ones that you can't download will be removed from the list, and the ones that aren't will have a bar at the top that tells you that you can't download it. You can't get Google Chrome, and Temple Run II won't work. Go to http://play.google.com/

I would try to reinstall the app. I didn't have that problem..ours was just to slow.We would click on it and it would take forever to load.

Nothing up-to-date. In the AppStore there appears to be newer apps but there's always a glitch when downloading it.

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

Yes, GetJar is the way to get apps right now, I believe. As tablets have evolved, the way to download apps has changed. The Coby Kyros is limited compared to some other tablets, and that means the app place has changed and may change again to make sure that this device will still be able to get apps. My kids use this tablet to play various games, so I know that it still has use. Sometimes our wifi connections kicks this tablet offline for no reason, and I am told it is because of the way in which this tablet gets online. If you find it keeps getting kicked offline, restart the device and just be patient with it.
