What is wrong with this (kind of old) Android, and https (only?) internet?

I switched to pixhost free image uploader because of this.

Put my Iview tablet back in the box. Fully charged. Will check on it later and see how well it still holds a charge.

Makes no sense to play with it till I see if it functions correctly first.

Thanks for the Welcome.

Edit: Just realized. Link is to Imagebox. Never used it.

I have an account at imgbox (it is NOT "imagebox", which is a completely unrelated kind of site!), a service which i like very much. It gives account owner the truth of never removing any picture stored in it, and we can organize them in galleries. Further, it gives us a reasonable freedom on the ways we use the stored images. But, of course, the service must be maintained. So, i choose to distribute the links where we see an ad before seeing the image. Acceptable, in my opinion.

I think it is absurd to stop using something just because its battery gone bad - like Apple does with its products, more than other industries. Usually, there is a way to replace the battery *or* to make it always function with electric power and a source, like a normal computer does. It loses just some freedom, this way, but it is commonly acceptable.

(: No problem. Now, we have to wait our friend 'setuidroot' come back, so we start to work.

Mine is not totally useless. It plays music and videos. Also I got to test this thing out for another member today.

I am old and need glasses < cataracts >

So excuse the imagebox for imgbox. I do that all the time.

Find a YT video for changing the battery on your device. Or for the battery identifier possibly printed on the (presumably non-removable) battery.
Even without a video it can't be too hard: open it up, (carefully) remove the battery and replace it with the replacement you ordered from $ONLINE_SHOP.

I keep telling people that smartphones (or tablets, or any ARM device) are NOT like "normal" PCs.

Seriously, do something.

My usb cable will plug into a generic usb wall socket adapter.

So I don't see a problem . These tablets are for young eyes though.

Not done much with mine. My chromebook is easier.

Thank you

Plug the headphone jack into stereo amplifier or reciever.

Using one of these https://d3mg56zc99plfm.cloudfront.ne.../09/35mm-1.jpg

Go into music folder and turn it into media player.

My motorcycle shop stereo rolls like this on my Linux Desktop in the shop.

That is just one thing it can be purposed for. If you can deal with the small screen. Hold some manuals in it also like I do in the shop.
