Just bought this, pick up tomorrow: https://tinyurl.com/h97kvq9
I know it’s not all singing and dancing, does not have all the bells and whistles, but it will do for me at that price. It’s Android 6 and all I need as a cheap replacement for my cannibalised Hudl2, which has reached the point of no return: I built it from 3 devices and it has worked for a while, but yesterday it became an ex-parrot. All I need is an e-book reader, emails, FB and a few bits & pieces. Chepest I could find it, Amazon want more, some want £129 just for the tablet.
I actually got 3 Hudl2’s working for neighbours and theirs are still OK. 🙁 Word does get around and a neighbour has given me an original Hudl1 to take a look at. Asked what happened and she said that she put the charger cable in before going to bed and the screen lit up like daylight. She was frightened to touch it, so left it like that. Next morning it was dead, no charge. I looked at the charger port – “Did you connect it in the dark?” -“Yes, why?” – “Because the port is pushed in and the pins are bent.”
As there is no charge in the Hudl, I cannot get into it. The cable will not connect, there is nothing to connect to. I cannot find a way to strip the thing, as I could with the Hudl2. She ignored my advice when she originally bought it, to buy an SD card and an external backup. I always tell people who ask (but never volunteer the information) – if you have just one device and nothing else, how can you save your photos, emails, etc., when you have nothing to back up with?
They then look for a Miracle Worker, but I missed that course. :negative:
