  • What if you could give that old smartphone or tablet a second life? WSJ's Geoffrey A. Fowler shows how to save money--and spare landfills--by putting them to work as home security systems, picture frames, second monitors and more.

    A couple of things not mentioned in the video:
    1. I use my old OnePlus One as a hotspot device (it's only the US that throttles mobile hotspot usage AFAIK, I don't live there), secondary camera (it lacks OIS), for DriveDroid, and as something I can load apps onto without screwing up my main phone. Not only that, but the OnePlus One is relatively easy to hack to run newer Android releases (official support only went up to Android 6), so I can go all the way up to Android 9!
    2. If you use Sonos, you can turn your old tablet into a controller for your system, considering that they killed off their dedicated controllers some time back.

    1:04 Make sure the phone is in working order and the charger is in good shape. Also in the United States T-Mobile and Sprint have really cheep roaming deals when you do travel outside the USA and T-Mobile and Sprint have reasonable coverage in my experience.

    One more thing:
    If you have an old Samsung phone that is capable like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you can flash a new Android version like I did and you can get all the latest and greatest features and some new apps. I went from Android 5.0 to 8.1 with dotOS. There are plenty of videos out there that teach you how to flash ROM. It's like, really easy. You just need a Windows PC/laptop to make this happen.

    That s4 could easily be your daily driver. Flash TWRP, then flash LineageOS, and you've got Android 7 on it, and it runs much better, thanks to not having TouchWiz!

    1st gen iPad with Jailbreaking can do a lot more, it can be a wireless Second monitor screen , i can use the old spotify on it since it has great speakers for the size, runs youtube with tweaks , and my favourite of all is emulation, i play PS1 , PSP, NES , GBA and SNES on it. plus the childhood iOS games from the 2010s, and we are only scratching the surface of what it can do.
