Hey itsaboat,

how is it going, still house sitting in queensland?

Hmm - thats weird. I'll look into it.
What kind of tablet is it?

Try if that comes up on your new tablet.

Hi Mark,

Things are going good.

Still house sitting but now in Kempsey NSW. Next week I head to Nowra to sit a house for 3 weeks over Christmas. Then I have a two year house sit booked near Wagga.

I will try the link and let you know if it works.

The tablet might be going back for refund...I only bought it because it has SD card expansion, I could make it 48GB. Only to find that from Android 4.4 onwards SD cards are no longer supported. I have contacted the retailer and the supplier. So if you have a smartphone or tablet running Android 4.4 or above, your SD card is useless..!!

Will test the link shortly and let you know.

Cheers
Neil 

OK, the link works. But it says it is not compatible with my tablet.

It is an Onix from Aldi. They sold thousands of them on Wednesday... Gonna be a lot of disappointed kids at Christmas when they find their SD cards don't work !!

I have asked the supplier to provide manufacturer and model number details. Guess I won't get a reply from them till next week.

I am new to tablets and android. Is there any thing I can look up in settings etc that might be of help to you... I mean apart from bookmarked porn sites and bank details 😊

That is interesting. I have looked at some sites learning about "rooting" the tablet so as to turn the SD support back on. Most of them have 5.0 at the top of the list....according to the online "experts" all android from 4.4 do not support SD cards...oh well, my rant to Aldi is already sent :)

Hey Mark,

I have done some more reading. I was researching how to save files to SD card in android. But when I research SD card support, things are a little different...

Seems that years of complaints has made Google include full SD support in 6.0, with an extra...From what I have read so far, Android 6.0 will not just support SD but will also allow what they call "adopt". The adopt feature will allow the external SD card to be adopted or joined to the internal storage, making one single storage drive.

Android 6.0 is due for release soon...whatever that means. If my 4.4 can be upgraded to 6.0 is yet to be seen. Since I only bought this thing brand new only 3 days ago, I am going to be pretty P-off if it cannot be upgraded...not that I am not already P-off that I can't use my 3 day old tablet already !!!...That is use as advertised.

Bottom line is, yes it seems that Google is intent on changing things. It might be a good idea to keep half an eye on what they are doing, just incase the Apps need to be updated.

The tablet has been returned for refund. A complaint has been filed with ACCC for misleading advertising.

As this was the first tablet I have ever touched, it's a learning curve.

It turns out that the screen res is simply too low. This tablet is not compatible with many if not most apps.
