Your internal SD card is corrupt.
Okay, so my wife would like a tablet but I can't spend $500 on an Apple or Samsung so I was wondering if I could get a little feedback. How is the feel of the resistive screen as opposed to the capacative? Do you really have to push on the screen to get it to work? Does it have zoom on it? If so does it work like the iPad with two fingers? She really uses Facebook and I assume that can be installed on it? This is the one I am looking at hxxp://chinagrabber.com/8gb-flytouch-iii-android-2-2-gps-apad---10-original-ibex-disco10-tablet-pc---8gb-ibex-ft3.aspx

The answer you are seeking is subjective....one person will say the resistive screen is OK and the next will say it is cr*p. The facts are that it works, it is not as responsive as a capacitive screen, but it works without having to apply lots of pressure. It is, however single touch only, no two finger touching! There is no need for a two finger touch as the screen is large enough to display a full width web page so no zooming necessary.
Facebook will be ok but I assume you are aware that the audio level is very low on these tablets, you *will* need to use earbuds or phones if you want to be able to hear audio in all but the quietest environments.
If you buy the one you specify it should be a DISCO model (as per the title) so you will be able to update the firmware with any of the better third party offerings to improve the tablets functionality.

Along with the answers above, as at today - that would still be my choice of tablet, I do like to tinker & custom & flash & learn though and do not mind spending time learning what it can do, be aware it does not do well straight "out of the box". Getting a good resistive stylus to work directly on the glass rather than your finger on a screen protector has been my preferred choice of input.
And CG do not have customer service at the top of their agenda, you will be largely ignored no matter how many emails you send them, you may get 1 reply with a tracking number sometime after it has been posted out. Largely, the tablet does arrive and in good nick and within a month though, so rest assured that eventually you will get your tablet, and sometimes, just sometimes, they do arrive not working and you have to pay for shipping it back and then wait all over to get a replacement, we are bargain basement shopping here don't forget.
If you are prepared to spend time & effort to get it to somewhere like decent with a custom rom installed (it is not hard to accomplish this) then you and your good lady will not be dissapointed, indeed it can be amazing value for the price, good luck
Thank you for all that info. I doubt she will go for using a stylus, she really likes using her finger to touch the screen. Is there anyway to zoom on that device at all? Would there be a button or an on screen button to press for zooming? I know it will display the page full size but what if there is a picture or something you want to zoom in on?

It will only zoom if the software supports it either directly on screen or indirectly via the menu or menu button on the side, and it is only single touch zoom, it is not the zoom of using finger & thumb to suggest a widening motion.
Remember - the screen is resistive, by definition it requires resistance to operate, she will have to get used to not swiping as in capacitive screen rather more to using pressure of tip of finger, best method seems to be tip of finger + finger nail motion (it's not hard - just takes time getting used to)
This is sounding worse than it really is, and it isn't meant to be, resistive & capacitive are similar but different, that's all.

[sigh] another poster that cant use search...
you probably have a corrupted internal tf card, and it is now read only....unfortunately no-one ever comes back and reports what they did to fix it.....
The collective advice so far is open the tablet, replace the internal tf card and re-flash the image.....assuming you know what image to flash....if not....ask the seller for a link to the image or send it back as faulty.

I do not know of any android device that does not work with something like Enhanced Email client, a pop 3 email client.
So yes, it works, but you will need wifi access points to collect & deliver emails.
And when the 'other members' get heartily sick of answering the same questions over and over again just because lazy posters prefer instant gratification and can't be bothered to read a few threads to find the answers to their questions?
Well I wont answer them anymore....

After standing upside down and reflecting in a mirror, I see that you have a wwe10 android 2,2 tablet.
Personally, I have never heard of that one, could be a clone of the sawee10 perhaps? Which I know are not compatible with the current custom roms out there, sorry to be the bearer of that bad news.
So - how old is it - where did you purchase it from?
Just posting this reply to show you haven't been ignored and that others may now reply with something more positive.
As I have posted many times along with others, it's all about checking & double checking what it is on offer before you purchase, ie do the homework first.

I have the Ibex Flytouch 3 Superpad 2 Disco10 model and can't get it to connect to ethernet. It connects wifi. I tried checking ethernet and uncheck wifi but doesn't help. Do routers need to be configured in a specific way to allow ethernet on this? Anyone experience this and is there a fix? Thanks.
Yes I enabled ethernet...Also, made sure wifi was turned off and as stated this didn't help.
So long as the Ethernet is enabled and dhcp is turned on there should be no special settings needed on the router by default. Did you setup the router yourself and if you did did you enable any custom security or settings?
Does the port light up on the router when the pad is connected to Ethernet?

can you link to the model number, that could help. Also how many RJ45 ports does it have?
Rabid1-Thanks for your suggestions..Don't know what I did but it is now working great.

I am in the proces of buying one (bought it, did research, contacted them,a nd found out something). The seller says it is a 9V and not a 5V. He said the model number is : 'Android Tab 10' .
This is the link:
Wholesale FlyTouch3 AnDroid 2.2 Flash 10.1 GPS WIFI X220 Super Pad HD 10.2" Tablet
I know it says disco10 in the screenshot, but he said that the disco is old and this is the newer version...
Do you think it has a chance of Tim's custom ROM? Is the stock ROM really that bad? I mean we can always optimise it with task killers and memory boosters and replacing apk files right?

Someone should please help me. My Flytouch 3 charger got burnt, I couldn't get a replacement so I later got one that charges it but not up to its rating. After booting it up, I loaded flanfingers honey comb Rom beta 5. After flashing, I put on My tablet but it didn't boot up, but the screen just turned white. I put it off and on back trying to load tim 6a Rom but it didn't flash and it only shows the white screen. Now whenever i put it on, the green led just turns red and the device just keep on vibrating, after that, the led changes back to green and I'm not sure if the device is still charging. Please I need help urgently.

Thanks mate. I plugged the device for some time before going to bed. I switched it off and put it on later this morning and it worked. The funny comb loaded well but the device didn't work for long before going off. Guess it was because I'm using a charger with low rating
