Avoiding Lollipop upgrade

[Guest cathud]

I have just managed to locate and buy a new Hudl 2 because Lollipop pretty much 'killed' my old one.  I do not want to upgrade the new one to Lollipop but am unsure as to how to avoid it.  When I boot it up it tells me that an update is available - the only choice open to me is to download it.  If I do this, will I then get a choice as to whether or not to install it or will it just do it anyway regardless of whether or not I want it?

Can anybody advise please.

Unfortunately you get no choice as it is part of the setup process to look for updates and then install them. So unless you can find a way to break out of the setup program then you will be out of luck.

As to being able to purchase a new Hudl 2, you will be really lucky to find a new one in a Tesco store as they have been discontinued and are no longer available or orderable.

As to you feeling the lollipop update ruined your tablet I personally feel this is probably a coincidence. As you have already tried a factory reset which unfortunately did not resolve your charhing problem then you likely have a faulty charger, charge cable or micro usb port. If you have another charger which you use for a mobile phone that can put out a 2a charge current it would be worth trying to charge it with that and also worth trying a different micro usb cable. If it isn't the charger or cable have a look on ebay as some vendors were selling replacement micro usb ports for hudl tablets. They are not that hard to dismantle to change the charge port. Just be sure to get the right one for a Hudl 2.
