How can i connect my samsung tablet to my wireless internet?
I assume you are either unable to see your network listed or when you select your network from the list of active Wi-Fi Networks within range of you device and depending on security level no password or the Security Key you have doesn't work. First, make sure you have a few pieces of information: 1) The SSID or name of the network 2) The security type and password 3) If no DHCP service you'll need the ip address subnet and an available address for your device, ip address of the gateway/router, & ip address of the DNS servers. Usually the router provides DHCP and provides all of the addressing information.
Typically, you are provided the SSID and a security key or password. On your tablet open settings and turn Wi-Fi in necessary and look for your SSID in the list to the right. If your SSID is not shown verify the name, that the router is on and you are within range. Be aware of obstructions between you and the router. My Pool House is a virtual dead zone due to some electrical wiring on the wall it shares with the office. The router is less than 5 feet away, but the signal is unreliable. If everything is working and still no SSID on list, then it may be hidden. Simply, select Add Wi-Fi Network at the bottom and enter the SSID (Netgear987), security type (WPA OR WPA2 typically) and the password (PASSWORD maybe case sensitive). If it connects and fails to obtainan ip address or just drops it may indicate another layer of security that requires each device MAC ID is added to the list of authorized devices for that router. Your MAC ID is listed on the Settings_About Device_Status screen WiFi MAC Address: (F7:C7:AE:78:E6:FC). Sounds like a lot but usually verified SSID and password do the trick. Good Luck

Wont re start
This is the most common problem with tablets - there are literally hundreds of people asking the same question and i have had the same problem myself - its usually corrupt bootloader or OS and can be a nightmare to repair.
Sounds like its borked.Have you pressed the reset button on the back - pinhole - press it with a pin its a long shot.The real fix is to go into recovery mode using the power button volume up combo. Then select the restore tablet option.If none of that works you will have to sideload or reinstall using an sdcard a replacement OS - Try cyanogenmod - your tablet will have to be rooted and have the cm bootloader installed however - tablets are not easy things to repair when the software goes belly up. Its actually a disgrace and I have been repairing computers and latterly tablets for the last 30 years and it is by far the most common issue with any tablet except Apple - there is a reason they are so expensive - lol

You will usually have to load your navigation info while you're attached to a wifi network. After that it should use the gps satellite system to navigate you. It will need to be connected to wifi to redirect you if you leave the route that is programmed in.
Cant log out of google play on my samsung
Google accounts are very central to the whole way that Android operates, which is why they make you setup an account the first time you turn the tablet on.
Anyway, to change it, go to the Settings app and scroll down to Accounts. Tap on Google under Accounts, and it will show your Google account with some privacy settings listed below. Tap on the email address of your google account in the list at the top, which will show you a bunch of sync settings for your account. Tap the menu in the upper right corner (three dots) and select Remove Account. It pops up a warning message, tap Remove Account if you're OK with what it is warning you about. It will wipe out all the messages, contacts and settings that are associated with that account.
It should kick you back to the Settings app. Scroll down to where it lists the accounts and tap Add Account. Pick Google from the list to add a new Google account to your tablet.
If you only want to change your credit card / payment method on your existing Google account, then go to wallet.google.com on a PC web browser. Sign in and click the Payment Methods link on the left side. You'll see your currently configured credit card. You can add a new one, remove it or change it.
Samsung tab touch stops working and must reboot
you likely have software that is aftermarket you have added that is causing this hardware failure. if you set your tablet back to factory defaults does it still do this? I had a samsung that would occasionally do this, and I finally stopped installing cheap free games and other add-ons.. stick with reputable companies and don't trust your tablet to any developer that wants to write an app.
Finding router ssid
The SSID is not an indication on a label on the Wi-Fi device, it is the
identifier broadcasted by the device ; to find it, two possibilities :
1) if you remember its password, access the setup of the wi-fi device (your
router) ; this is done thru any computer connected to the router : simply enter
the IP adress of the router (try 192.168.0.1 or find the right one using the
ipconfig command) in the browser, and navigate to the wi-fi settings.
2) if you can't access the router, go to the wi-fi settings of your
smartphone or tablet or netbook, and find he way to show the list of the access
points available in the surrounding - yours is probably the first one (the
stronger signal) in the list.
Good luck.
I want to get rid of an about blank screen, how do i do this
when you say you cant get rid of it you really mean " it pops up every time you launch you browser, you can then navigate away from it?" if this is true you will need to set your home page to your liking and this will stop the about blank page from showing--Good Luck.
