Android tablet Java error

[Crackle]

I was getting it yesterday evening and this morning and it's now gone, which unfortunately means I can't tell you what it said but it wouldn't let me post a reply and I just got a red message from the server. Is this me or the forum? I'm new to Android tablets.

I think it was the forum - it had a blip but is back to normal now.

I'm still getting errors, from the login not working to the server responding with an error in the java console when I try to respond to a thread or a pm

Shaun, give the server a quick kick !!!!

I think it was the forum your tablet - it had a blip but is back to normal now.

Okay, let's start with a couple of easy things; can you please clean out your browser cache and completely power off your tablet (then restart it). Let me know if it reoccurs.

Well it logged in first time and…… ..posted this reply ok. So it was probably this ancient tablet my son sold me at a bargain price!

I'm still getting errors in pm's. It's my tablet innit. Now I know why he wanted an ipad now.

Okay, what about the version of Android you have installed on your tablet? ... and which browser are you using: Chrome, Opera, something else?

 

[Crackle]

Android 4.0.4 and Google Chrome but the same was happening on the stock browser and Firefox.

4.0.4 that's soooooo last century !

Probably just a bug or slow server response. I get it sometimes.

Let's see if there's an update.To check for available updates wirelessly/over-the-air:

• From your tablet’s home screen, touch Apps
• Touch Settings
• Touch About tablet
• Touch System updates

If an update is available, follow the instructions to download and install it. Once updated, your device will restart to complete the installation. Updates will not affect your contacts, applications, or data.

Thanks Shaun, I looked but there is no update available. So I did a bit more research, discovered I have a lenovo ideapad K1, which was released with 3.1 on but the Lenovo released a Vanilla install of version 4, installed with the tablet in recovery mode, which son1 reckons is what he put on. So it looks like I have the latest version for the tablet and I shall have to put up with it's flakey ways. It doesn't let me use 4od or 5od either but does let me use iplayer and ITV. AVG thinks it's rooted but a root utility says it isn't and it thinks it's a Motorola Xoom. It's nearly as messed up as me!

Tried it, I've never even heard of it. I was using the apps, does this let it work in the browser?
