- Do have an old Android tablet that’s just sitting in a drawer? Well bring it out and put it to good use! There are a number of cool things you can do with Android tablets to bring them out of the tech graveyard. If you have kids you can set up a restricted profile on Android 4.3 and higher and give it to them to use for school and only have access to the programs you want. With some free software you can also turn your tablet into a baby cam, dedicated e-reader, or even a digital photo frame. For the DSLR people you can turn an old Android tablet into a monitor to preview your shots.

When your old tablet in the original samsung galaxy tab and not even the play store works.
Yess!!
That's me right now
Custom ROM with Android 7 guys ! I did this on a Tab 2 10.1
can you elaborate please lol@@AiLiShan
@@AiLiShan what ist that?, how do i do it with the tab A ( SM-T280)?
what was this video about again? i can't keep my mind focused.
Glad i wasn't the only one pick that up as soon as she starts talking.
what cupsize?
Omg, I had to read the comments just to see... if I was the only pig
something about a milk carton?
Ok so I'm normal person😁, glad I found you guys cmts
I use an older tablet as a display in my truck and mounted it on the dash. I use it to play music, for maps, and so on. My truck doesn't have built in wifi so I use a receiver plugged into the lighter socket and have it connected to my FM radio via bluetooth. You simply keep it plugged in when the vehicle is in use to keep it charged.
You can also connect that tablet to an older cell phone that is hooked up to the rear window and have your own backup cam system.
I love to use the old tablets and cellphones for mp3 players. Plug them into computer speakers and they work great.
1:10 Many tablets hab great cameras haha never laught that hard tho
Maybe not great, but surly enough for a security cam, and better than a lot of them.
You can use them as digital clocks and calendar permanently put them on charge
This was one of my favorite episodes so far! I have so many old devices just sitting in drawers...
TRISHA
That was amazing
I just found Splashtop Wired XDisplay to use my old Nexus 7 as a second monitor that I'm going to put into a PC case mod.
Also found Sunnyside Soft VirtualTablet for my Samsung Tab A to make it work as a graphics tablet.
where did putting them exactly :D just want to know lol
I wouldnt mind getting some of it
Sorry I got distracted, what was the video about?
When the play store doesn’t work and chrome doesn’t work because the security is outdated
tried to make an old smartphone of mine into a music player. used it like thrice. now i have two such smartphones collecting dust.
so stupid to have high tech laying around like that without being able to think any use for them.
Look for SETI, cancer research or other NGO that needs processing power for a good cause. Then download the app and let them use that.
Or you could install roms and try and make it like new again. Like give it a new version of android Unless your phone/tablet does not have roms for it’s self. You could also make it a emulation machine for emulating games from some old consoles.
If the old android tablet has albealbi v7a arhitecture most of apps and games dont work amynore. Plus has low hardware specs as well.
I use my old android tablet as a web browser and as a SSH terminal for controlling Linux servers
I watched this hoping that it would be more functional something like Google os or Linux OS bringing it back to useable device
Ross Mclaughlin Same :c
Me too 😭 i have an old Samsung galaxy Tab 2 10.1. used to be Great....6vyears ago! I still believe it could be okay as it runs Netflix really well. But anything else it struggles. Error messages. I think if it had a higher operating system maybe it would run apps again updated ones built fur 5.0 and above ect, any suggestions guys would be great 👍
@@heedlaho you have to flash your tablet for that and if your tablet couldn't run many apps that well, odds are it would constantly crash running any other os not intended for it. :)
@@heedlaho heey I have the 10.1 also, and im trying to restore it :D
@@heedlaho I can't find any usb cables for this kind of tablet that allows computer connection :(
I might turn an old Toshiba Thrive tablet into a photo frame. Thanks!
5 steps:
1 Factory reset
2 Do NOT enter a google account. If it does not update, it won't go old
3 Use some APKs.
4 Use a light browser
5 Enjoy it as new... batteries last longer than software. To replace a battery can be tricky, but it's worth it.
The digital picture frame is actually a great idea, thanks ;)
it can be used for whatapp, facebook, movies, paytm, camera, online banking, movies, music, youtube.. old android tablet can do pretty much everything that your newer tablet can do but it might run slower than your newer tablet..
Me installing spotify, my tablet: *Overheats*
And says "It nearly killed me but the work is done"
I use my old tablet to get live telemetry data from any game (e.g. Racing & driving games)
I loved the episode but what if i wanted to turn my tablet into a monitor for a PC or a DVR?
Can you help me with that, please? :(
#6 Use it as a second screen for your laptop. Just get a very inexpensive tablet variable adjustment stand or fold into tent mode if its a 2 in 1.
I never thought I could download apps on my old tablet. Thanks for the video with some great ideas.
It's android not iOS (apps tend to support more than just the latest version)
I turned my old 1987 Montgomery ward color t v into a stand for my flat screen t.v and DVR in my bedroom...since the t v broke years ago and it has wheels under it...it makes a good stand which I can move closer when I removed my eye glasses....
I have used my old tablet as a smart display which shows time, news & weather
i use my old tablet to take notes✨
iPad: I'm faster.
i got distracted by those two....uh... anyways i use my old tablet as a table clock
I still use my RCA Android tablet a lot. But I have another older one that still works fine.
I am an older guy with a lot of high-end stereo equipment of various vintages in my Man Room. It's easy now to add a Bluetooth receiver to an aux. channel on any stereo amplifier. So I'm thinking of loading all of my digital music onto the old tablet (with a 64Gb micro SD card in it) and sending the music via Bluetooth to my stereo gear. Then anyone can just pick up the tablet from the coffee table and choose the songs they want to play over my stereo kind of like a remote with a touchscreen.
It will then play over my large Pioneer and JVC speakers and be a nice addition to my vinyl LP, tape, and CD collection.
Oh, and guys, be gentlemen. Try to show Trisha some respect. She deserves it don't you think?
I have windows 8.1 Tablet 3 years old now still run fast windows update off :D
Run Navionics on it and use it as a plotter....with relief shading. Think you need Andoid 6 or so.
i like tablets for dedicated mobile gaming
its like a modern gameboy for me
Great, now I can resurrect my Asus padfone S, similar to the one shown in the video
Am using it as radio receivers connected with Bluetooth speakers
Lol the kids probably got mad when she said an old tablet might be the best for kids
Thanks for the video and IP webcam is a really cool program because it can do way more than you mentioned and now I'll have to do a video about it.
U chose the right t shirt. The man in me rose to the occasion
Neat review with CGI FX! O' YEAAAAHHHH!!
Excellent tips. Great presentation by Trisha
You can also use it as a securty camera monitor.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, I been keeping it for nearly 8 years. In fact I am typing this comment with it. It still works perfectly. Lol
bro said "Lol" instead of turning off autocorrect in 2020💀
I didn't really click on the video for the information.
New ways to use your old tablet:
just use your old tablet
This video was very helpful. And thank you for your advice :DDDDDD
ill turn my old asus tablet into a frizby
Great. Cheers from Canada....my 2014 Galaxy View....no updates and hardly any RUclips etc. What can I do....I play the guitar etc....
rooting and putting a new rom on it?
yup
Given you even find or be able to make one
I'm looking to do something like this but not sure what best Ron to use or if one exists I basically want to just run emulation 8 bit n perhaps 16 bit consoles like nes n megadrive do you know what best option would be hope to keep Bluetooth so can use one of those controllers that clip to side of the tablet
Ross Mclaughlin That's not what he meant by "Rom"...
þøħ€ It's quite easy.
I use my old android for a paper weight, an up graded to a iPad ( I will never go back)
3D scanners using accessories like the new Bevel laser, or just Android photogrammetry software...
I usually just root the device and install a new light os and it'll work like new!
You can use it as a cutting board also
The subject of the video is thrilling, interesting and actual nowadays, no offense please, but the healthy part of the male subscribers in their majority just can't get focused on the main subject of the video due to the size of the eyes of the lady conducting this very detailed and interesting presentation.
i only watch this for trish
What a cute dog!!!!
Thanks for the info Trish! 👍👊
What's she was talking about? I can't figure it out why I wasn't being focused.... Just don't know....
Thank you very much and yes i will subscribe thank you!
Photo frame wow simple great idea!
Great ideas, thanks for the info. Excellent episode.
I rooted my asus TF101 and now use it as a youtube device cuz it can play 1080p easly of the target nevidea chip
Would like to transform my tab into a second PC monitor
use it as a camera to record gaming thats what i do with my ipad air 2
They are so nice..If this weren't a video, I would think they were photoshoped.
Can you do installing chrome os or something in a old tablet....
So the dirty glass at the end was on purpose? Great joke! lol
I've bee using it as a digital clock
I was thinking about mailing my old Samsung tab 4 into a smart mirror. Difficult finding thin enough glass/mirror so the touch screen still operates currently. However I was thinking of covering the screen directly with some mirrored film and then builtin a picture frame around it.
best use, wall mount and install 'homeassistant' / mqtt server, shame very few guides for that (and a unicorn level of uptodate working ones)
turning into a desktop monitor!!
Car touchscreen radio ?
that last frame looks very dirty... (am I the only one that noticed?)
You can use VLC to view the video feed if you set up port forwarding,
Mine became a dedicated storage controller
Me watching this on my tablet
Who else is like "the only reason my old Tablet/Phone is in the bin is because it's broke
She's cute!
/dreamy
But for 7/24 too much!
OMG THIS HUMAN LADY HAS THREE HEADS
old tablet + dumb TV = smart tv
All these comments about... you know what. I'd find it so hard is i was Trisha and had to scroll through all these comments without cringing, luckily i'm 12 and a boy so i cant imagine that...
I’m still using an original Nextbook Ares-8.
And I watch RUclips, Anime, keep an eye on news, collect webpages with recordable news stories. Hard to obsolete these old things. Mine is over 2-years old.
And it still provides over 1600-geekbench, uh... which means it’s fast enough virtually all web traffic. Game playing? I own an i7 iMac, much better for games. Only one problem...
I don’t play anything more complicated than Klondike solitaire. Anybody that does, is probably way older than he should be, to be living in his mothers’ basement.
We have many old devices, and they're all BROKEN
Hey Niko! Its Roman, lets go bowling.
wait what, great cameras on tablets?
You can turn it into an ereader as well
You can break it if it doesn't work anymore
Google play store has a setting where it requires a password to download new apps and games
Hi, the tablet won't be receiving security updates anymore. So isn't the tablet an easy target for criminals to hack into your system?
Why would you force your kid to play only educational games?
Sorry I got distracted, what was I watching again?
Disassemble it,put it into a different case,install Ubuntu and then use it as a cheap laptop to school for viewing presentations and having the ability to play full minecraft,portal,portal 2 and other games made for Linux.
Old tablets might not support USB keyboards though so you'll have to get a wireless one
@@Mr.Engine993 Yeah this is a really old comment from me. Most software most likely won't even work on the tablet and it's unlikely for an older tablet to boot linux as it needs a specific generation of ARM processors.
What if the tablet is so new with old battery gone wrong...
mine is 7 years old... and i got like 2 or 3 years ago
I use it as a external screen for my camcorder
What tablet is she talking about?
Well you should root it then install Linux.
You can buld it in a car desk
or you could give it to me

Adorbs TBT photo. What does the yellow pin say?
They make a nice little KODI media player...

My old tablet is from 2020, so yeah…
(hmm…) Along w/ an ereader, the function that pops in my head is a "dedicated" KODI/RetroARCH device.
