Once upon a time (2017) I bought a Lennovo Yoga Tab 3 . It was a nice and clever tablet device and commercials made a lot of promises. Alas, it wasn't a swan, it was but an ugly duckling!
It couldn't screen cast per miracast, and it was not possible to set up a second user on it. Some stupid crackhead at Lenovos castrated Android and removed that feature. I wanted to send it back to Lenovo with a remark that "...it's Android is broken ... I couldn't find out, how to set up another user!"... but my little son had already fell in love with that thing!
Because it had one unique feat that made it rise and shine above all other tablets out there on the market: It had a integrated fold-out stand which can be folded out in several steps, so it can stand upright, or slightly angled, lay flat on its back or angled on the table, you can even HANG it on the wall, or with a sucktion cup hook on the outside of the shower stall... or, and thats the best, clip it to the shader flap thing in your car, as kind of a over head screen, so Junior can watch his favourite 'cars' film at longer trips!
[Note: to clip it at the shader flap thing at the drivers side to watch porn while driving ... is not recommended! There simply is no smart explanation that one could give in a police check ... except one has been able to switch to the navigation app ... but since IT HAD NO GPS chip... ]
On a sunny day some weeks after purchase my little halo holder decorated the device with a spider app, but loved it anyway, so we kept it.
Recently from one fine day to another, without any distinguishable cause, it stopped recharging it's battery, and after 2 days of countless unsuccessful attempts to bring it back to working condition, combined with some typical heavy attacks of techno-user-tourettes syndrome... it became a case of murder in the heat of passion. I lost control and killed it! Literally!
After it shattered, on the wall, into its parts and sank to the ground in a thousand glittering pieces, I took the broom and swept everything together, while my little son was crying!
Ok... I did exactly what Lenovo intended with the undoubtedly pre-programmed stop of charging - I killed the old device and prepared the ground for the purchase OF A NEW DEVICE, and I am upset about my self, that I acted as I did! That I am manipulable... in acting as I am supposed to act, by a faceless marketing jerk!
But my son was crying!
So, I did, what I had sworn not to do - I bought another one! The successor model! 2 weeks later my 6yr old little one, while chatting with his best friend ... spider-apped it AGAIN!
4 weeks later and 170€ poorer... the new touch screen was not available immediatly... my son is not allowed to touch it anymore, not even LOOK at it!
Arrived at home, I fired it up and the device won't connect anymore to the internet. It was connecting with my WiFi network, but it wouldn't or couldn't access the internet anymore. I surfed the internet and sought an answer to that mysterium - for 3 days! Ok, not with my tablet, but my LapTop. But I did not find any answer. Not even a hint... and was completely baffeled... and frustrated!
And than... I got hit, by a thought: "What might the repair service guy might have done with the tablet?"
Answer: He disassembled it, to exchange the broken touch screen! To do that he had to disconnect the battery. And that resulted in.... memory loss!
After re-connecting the battery, it was started as ... for the first time, and my tablet was back in the 70's!
Internal date: 1.Oct 1970! That's as if one would try to call year 2020 back from 1970. That can't work!
So... If anyone encounters the same strange behaviour - check DATE AND TIME!
