@scott, have you tried an andoid emulator on a PC?

In the end, my old google tablet worked, so at least I can use it for troopers, but I cant use if throughout the day and it is in a bit of struggle town with the graphics at times.

Interesting your old ipad worked, but my old ipad did the same as my iphone. I was beginning to think it was an ios issue more than android.... Seems maybe not!
