Toshiba Thrive Tablet wont work right, tempted to return it and get an ipad?

[Halo]

This definitely is not the norm. I got my Toshiba 32gb (wifi) for Xmas and have had no issues with it. It sounds as if your thrive was maybe refurbished when you purchased it. A brand new thrive does not do this. Have you done anything or have had a friend of such try rooting it? If anyone messed with the configuration of your thrive this would certainly do this. Have you done all the updates through the Service Station. If you can't it definitely was altered. After (3) months you mention about returning it. None of the stores will take a 3 month old tablet back. All I can say is you either bought a tablet that was used, refurbished, rooted and therefore it will never operate like a new out of the box thrive. Also, why would you wait three months when you could have returned it right away. Something sounds fishy here.
