Please help Excite AT305-T16 got hacked - See Video

I just got the Tablet on 01/23/13. I ordered a used one (like new condition) from Amazon Warehouse.
It came very fast within 2 days. Look like the warehouse is in NV state and I am in CA.
I got the tablet S/N:5C043564R.
You have to look at the video to believe me for what was happening.
This tablet has some kind of remote software installed which can monitor what you do as soon as you get on the Internet. At first i thought the tablet seems to be over responsive.
I haven't touched it but it managed to click and move itself.
While I tried to type in the password, the cursor will keep moving from the password field to the other.
I finally got into Gmail App and I was shocked to see what happened to the tablet.
Somebody remotely scroll+touch+zoom+up+down through my emails, trying to find some confidential information.
I didn't believe my eyes.
I did power off the unit and restarted again. As soon as I got into Gmail app, it happens again.
I grabbed my phone to capture what happened and then turn the power button totally off.
4 hrs later, I wonder if it will act the same since I move to another location.
Before I connect the Wi-Fi, I went into Adroid setting and to do the factory reset, hoping to wipe off whatever is.
I almost thought that it did remove those hacker remote thing.
I was so afraid so I went in the App and disable GMAIL app and LogMein App.
Then I went to download some Antivirus software on the Google Play. I installed Lookout and Zapper Task Killer, hoping that I would kill or see what is running behind. Everything seems to be normal at that moment.
I installed and signup on other app like Netflix and Skype. Again I was having a hard time while entering the password because the cursor kept moving out of the password field by itself.
I finally went into email this time via PrintShare App.
Again I can see somebody has remotely scroll up & down and looked into my emails. Try to find something.
It does finally stop at the email that have my info, which my full name and address on it.
I could not believe my eyes. The chill was running down my back.
This is the real criminal here.
I am sending this tablet back for sure.
I just want to give a warning to the other user who might have bought the used tablet.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS REMOTELY WATCHING YOUR TABLET HACKER

That Dude or Dudess from Toshiba is right.. I have a similar problem with my Toshiba Excite. I bought it off ebay as a Toshiba Manuf Refurb. I received it this past Wednesday. I opened it,  charged it and used it for about 20 minutes. All was fine. Thursday morning I turned it on and started using it to check my email and watch some news. About 20 minutes into it the thing starts bugging out. Mine is acting similar to yours, but my tablet keeps showing the menu, as if someone were pressing the very top right corner where the dotted drop down menu appears. It sucks, but it's kind of funny because I did the same thing you did. I put it on my wood desk and took a video of it clicking non stop, I used a wood desk so nobody could claim it may be some type of static issue.. Menu , no menu , Menu , no menu,  over and over and very fast. I never even had a chance to download any apps other than putting the info in for my gmail account. I emailed the seller on ebay and they said contact Toshiba. I called Toshiba, and although I have nothing bad to say about Toshiba they told me to tell the seller to take the item back. I think the Toshiba rep that posted on your issue hit it dead nuts. I just figured I'd share, I know I am not helping you other than letting you know that there is someone else out here with the same issue. Good luck, with yours..

    Please Help!
    I've got a WRT54GX2 that I used for 2 years with no problems.
    I recently tried to set up network with different IP DSL (Bellsouth).
    The problem is the computer can not "locate" wireless router. Is this due to the Westell modem not being "bridged".   

    ***Note: Make sure that the modem is Bridged and the router is set-up to the Instructions I first gave you. If you still have the issue then follow the below steps. At this point you should find out what is your,
    IP Address =
    Default Gateway =
    Subnet mask =
    and provide us with that information.
    You can get this info by clicking on Start>>Run>>type "cmd">>click ok, now a black command prompt box will open, type in ipconfig /all
    You should see an IP address and default gateway of 192.168.x.xxx
    you should see a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
    At this time you should power cycle your router and then the modem by removing the power cable from the router, then remove the power cable from the modem. Wait about 60 seconds and plug in the modem and them plug in your router. wait till all the lights on the modem and router are back on. try to connect.
    If it still does not work and the IP address is not what I stated, then you will need to reset the modem by holding in the reset button on back of the router for 30 seconds, this will bring the router back to the factory defaults and will remove any prior settings.
    Good Luck,
    Ttech

  • Hangs at Startup - Excite AT305 T16

    I have an Excite AT305-T16 and I am having the BLUES with it. I just received it from being repaired a month ago because there was a problem with the motherboard. Now, My Excite will LOOK as though it is powering on/starting up properly but does not go past either the Toshiba Innovations screen (very first screen) or the little horizon poppy screen (second screen that appears after it starts...I can't even hard turn it off for a LONG WHILE after I attempt to turn it on. I had a terrible time with Toshiba's customer service after my repair but I NEED HELP...my children are so anxious (it's their tablet that I purchased for them as a Christmas gift and it has been giving us the blues since the end of January). Not a happy camper/customer...BTW This is my CHILDREN'S tablet so I am not sure if there have been any updates or what apps they have recently put on it (immediately prior to this problem). I do monitor their activities on it and had not seen anything out of the ordinary. The day before it stopped powering on properly, it worked as anticipated.

    My Excite startsup at a wierd screen and goes no farther Screen show time, date, the message "TRY AGAIN" Tom the right of this is a rectangle with a flashing verticular line in the middle of it. It is as thought it is awaiting a password or somethng? Do not know what!!A keyboard will display if I press _______________ Then touching the rectangle will display a keyboard (US) and message  for input options.  Nothing else. Pressing the input options key will cause the down arrow and home icon to display but trouch either and nothing happens but that the Input options menugoes away

    JDunlop,
    thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
    as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
    Divx Player 2.1
    The file contains unknown video data
    The file contains the following type of data:
    Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
    You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
    Some quick questions:
    1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
    2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
    Thanks,
    lac410
    P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

    Author: JDunlop Jun 5, 2003 5:00 AM
    sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

  • Please help Excite 10 AT305-T16 screen not working

    Hello my Excite 10 AT305-T16 WAS stuck on the lock screen. I reset it to factory settings by holding the "+" and power button. I was sure that this would have resolved the issue with my tablet but it didn't. I am still unable to use the screen of my tablet. The only thing I can do is power it off, by holding the power button. I'm not sure what to do with it now. other than continue to power it on and off even though there hasn't been a change in what's happened. Please help, I would like to be able to use it again.
    P.S. I have never spilled anything on it, or dropped it.

    It sounds like you'll need to contact customer support and set up a repair.
    You can call (800) 457-7777.

  • Why isn't my video on iMovie uploading to YouTube------- PLEASE HELP!!, Why isn't my video on iMovie uploading to YouTube------- PLEASE HELP!!

    CAn someone PLEASE HELP ME!! My I pod 4th gen is packed full of stuff and pretty much out of memory. But that shouldn't be the problem. I have recently tried to upload a video to YouTube through iMovie. It said it was too long so I cut it down to 14.8 seconds which should also be fine but while attempting to upload the video again, it always stops about a quarter of the way through on the tab that says "uploading to YouTube." please help as I really need to get this uploaded thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete some stuff to make more storage available.
    - Reset all settings

  • Please help me... music or play video, it pauses music/video for few seconds (2-7sec). kindly help what i need to do... will appreciate much...thank u  my MBP specs: 13 inch early 2011 2.3 ghz intel

    please help me... im having troubles using itunes, When i start listening music or play video, it pauses music/video for few seconds (2-7sec).
    kindly help what i need to do... will appreciate much...thank u
    my MBP specs:
    13 inch early 2011
    2.3 ghz intel core i5
    4 gb 1333 mhz ddr3
    mac os x lion 10.7.5 (11g63)
    itunes 10.7 (21)

    1. A 13" screen is awfully small to do any efficient editing. The 15" gives you significantly more on-screen real estate.
    2. All of the MacBook Pros can run FCE. However the graphics processor in the 13" model will limit some functionality with effects. See Tom's earlier comment.
    3. Not much difference. All these cpu's are fast. There will be more overall system performance gain from the quad core at the slower speed.
    4. FCE cannot use more than 4GB RAM anyway, so the 4GB that comes with every MBP is more than adequate. If you expect to use Aperture or CS5 then go for more RAM, otherwise there's not much reason to add RAM. You will be better off spending your money upgrading to the 7200rpm hard drive.
    5. Everything will be smaller on the high res screen; there are just more pixels (1680x1050) on the same 15.4" screen area. (I have a 15" MBP with the standard 1440x900 screen and it is beautiful.)

  • PLEASE HELP! How can I recover deleted videos frommy camera roll?

    Hello. I was making a video in iMovie and when it came down to exporting in 720p, it said I did not have enough room. So, I accidentally deleted a few videos from my camera roll. These were the video clips that I used in my iMovie so when I try playing the movie, the videos I deleted won't show up. How can I recover these deleted videos??? Please help! This is a video for someones birthday that is coming up soon. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Are you talking about iMovie on the iPhone, or iMovie '11? If you used iMovie '11 you had to get your media onto the computer. If you're talking about iMovie on the iPhone I think you want to be on http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1140
    I don't know if DriveSavers can work with an iPhone. It involves opening the hard drive in a clean room, and I don't think you can do that with an iPhone drive.

  • PLEASE help me to get Leopard to see my HP over the network

    Sigh..... I still cannot get this to work. Does anyone know of any way to get my PB G4 with 10.5.1 to see my HP Photosmart C7280 over my network so it will install properly? Oh, and yes, I would like to be able to use the full feature set that I paid for, not just basic print.
    Here is my setup: I have the C7280 connected to my wireless router (Zyxel HW660) via ethernet connection and my network accessed by my computers. I have my iMac (running 10.4.11 and 3 XP machines connected and working properly with the C7280 via wireless connection.
    Here is what I have done.
    Archive/Install Leopard again today
    Uninstalled/reinstalled full HP software for 10.5 from HP site downloaded today.
    Entered IP address of printer into Safari and it sees it fine and gives me the status info
    pinged the IP address of printer and it responds
    Tried to manually add the printer using same IP address and it doesn't find it.
    connected the C7280 and my PB via direct ethernet connection and it sees the C7280 fine through a Bonjour connection.
    What else can I do? If there was a problem with Leopard and my router, wouldn't it be an all around problem? I can connect to internet, share folders, etc all on the network so don't think that should be a problem. The fact that the C7280 can be "seen" via direct ethernet connection means that it can communicate with the C7280 software and finally, since I can ping it and get status via IP address in Safari means the connection is there.
    As soon as I was able to connect to the C7280 via direct ethernet connection, HP told me it was an issue with Apple. HP Mac Architect are you out there?
    Can anyone help!! Thanks! PS Sorry, I know post long, but wanted to be as complete as possible.

    I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have an HP 2200d Laserjet attached to my SMC 4 port wireless router BUT via the router's USB port. Anyway I couldn't get it to print in Leopard on my G5 whereas my other computers on the network (a B&W with Tiger, an iBook G3 with Panther and an XP PC) saw it and could print to it without any problems. The G5 only experienced problems printing to it once I upgraded to Leopard via archive and install. The original setup in Tiger on the G5 went missing once I upgraded to Leopard so I had to set up the configuration again. Here's what helped me:
    1) Add a new printer in the System Preferences > Print and Fax
    2) Choose IP
    3) Now for me, under Protocol I chose LPD, but you may have to choose IPP or HP Jetdirect
    4) For Address type in your printer's IP address
    5) Queue type in LPT1
    6) Name type in whatever you want to call your printer
    7) Now this next step is what made my printer work under Leopard (in Tiger it was blank): For Location type in LPT1
    8) For Print Using choose "Select a driver to use...", find your driver, install it and Leopard may start printing to it
    This worked for me, but my router has a USB port. Checking the other IP set ups, they look similar to the LPD set up. I hope this helps.
