I guess you are streaming on line?
so imagine the 2 tin can STRING telephones (3 points of failure)
we made as kids (old folks did this, to learn in school, 1964)

so if the string is slow then you internet is slow
if the right can is slow the netflix is slow
OR OMG just this movie SLOW. (very common overload there) "overloads happen"
if the left can is slow our tablet needs work!


if at netfix do the speed test.
ok? if fails bingo read why there, it tells you.

Check your screen timeout settings to be certain it can play in its entirety. Also, is there a data cap on your plan in which you're downloading the movie from? Otherwise, there shouldn't be an issue unless it's your battery life. Thanks and have a great evening!

SOURCE: Dell Inspiron Mini 10 abruptly shuts down every time I watch video

This is common with the Inspiron line of laptops. It's caused by over-heating. It is an air flow issue. Two things you can do to help alleviate the problem:

First, with the machine powered down and unplugged, use a can of canned-air to blow the vents and fans free of dust clogs.

Second, install rubber bumpers on the bottom of the laptop to elevate it off the surface. This will allow air to flow freely under the machine and in and out of the proper vents and fans. You can get these just about anywhere. They are just little rubber nubs with a self-adhesive side. Peel and stick.

Download & install the USB drivers for your Tablet. As for the User's manual click on the "Document" tab to download. (If your USB drivers is already installed on your Tablet, not necessary to reinstall the drivers)

Could not tell you whether your video camera software is supported by "Android 3.0 Honeycom" OS.

As for the USB connection to portable storage device "transfering or adding files" it is more or less similar to that in PC/laptop system.

SOURCE: how do i get an activation code for netflix on an acer iconia a500 tablet?

There are two ways to view netflix either browser or using the netflix app. Both use the same system og login and password. You will have to contact netflix support to get help with that. Either way will use the same account login details. They are pretty quick on the job for helping out with these things.
