No https on old Android

lucmove · 12-07-2019, 11:21 AM

I have an old Android tablet (4.0.4) that no longer can be updated and no browser can display https sites, which is almost any nowadays. I have tried many browsers, they all fail. There is no error message, all browsers complain that I have no Internet connection. I do. Other apps and plain http sites work fine.

Is there anything I can do about it? Is there any browser that will do https independently, without any support from the OS?

I am ruling out alternative firmwares such as CyanogenMod or anything like that. I have bricked a phone with one of those, asked for help on the forum.xda-developers forum and was duly ignored.

Hmmm. Specs. Model number. Details on hardware of tablet. Probably might be hard. But maybe get lucky?

I have the same issue right now, it seems. I will make a new thread about it, with more details. I will make the threads point to each other too.

And how do you think that is going to help with the issue at hand?
