Ten years later, the tablet still works, but with > Android 5 and little storage and RAM, it's not very useful. I use a BT mouse so that I can connect the single micro usb port to the charger. However, if the battery discharges and the thing powers down, I have to do a convoluted procedure. First charge the tablet completely. On boot up, the BT mouse doesn't pair and doesn't work. Thus connect a mouse with cable, and use it to toggle the tablet to pair again with the BT mouse. When I get both mice working, disconnect the cable, and connect the charger again. I have the charger connected to a mains timer, so that it is not powered 24 hours, but only some hours. The tablet is on a metal stand from Ikea (HAVREHOJ) on the table. The thing is tall enough that the tablet is above the clutter on the table :-D https://www.ikea.com/es/es/p/havrehoj-soporte-tableta-40534576/ Thus I can use it to control Amazon Prime Video app and cast movies to the sitting room TV set with a Google dongle :-) > Fun tidbit: Recently I used it as a 'media center', mainly for > streaming audio (Spotify, etc.) to my soundbar/subwoofer, but because it > was mostly working badly, I turned off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in > use (instead of powering it off).
