11:01pm: That wasn't the aim of course and thankfully I think I'm on my way to resurrecting it, in fact I thought I'd succeeded in doing just that a few hours ago, only to realise there were several things amiss with the display...like all the options I'm used to weren't there! Most displeasing and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, until just now.
Basically it all started with those Fit Bands from Aldi, Mum got them this morning - I'd actually all ready headed out to my Aldi, but it wasn't a big deal for me to continue on my way to the Mall, especially since I wanted to go to Target anyway.
So anyway, I had success at Target finding an ironing board cover that actually fits properly and to my surprise a fabulous green bra that was on Sale! The only problem...there was only one set of matching underwear left to go with it. On the plus side it was my size, so that was good. Then I got some cleaning supplies at Coles and headed back home to look at setting up the Fit Band.
Alas, that was when I discovered my phone isn't actually capable of downloading the app that is considered quite necessary for the Fit Band - at the very least there doesn't seem to be a way to set the clock properly without it. Pain in the butt.
So...I decided to be clever and do some internet searching where I discovered that whilst you can't update your phone to the latest Android through official channels you can do it under the table as it were. Since I've been having such good luck with doing it myself with technology lately I decided why not try it for this.
BAD IDEA! In the end my phone stopped working altogether! And I was pretty sure it was bricked, ruined forever and what was I supposed to do? I briefly considered just buying a new phone since, you know, I have money and such, but no...I couldn't find an unlocked ones that weren't pricey as Hell. So, I went to an Opts shop to see if they could help me - since the SIM is technically from them. They don't do repairs, but the chap did show me how to get into download mode, which apparently is how you load a new OS on them. And that's how I ended up accidentally downloading the wrong OS, and now I'm trying to get Jelly Bean. Seems it'll take a while though, so I'm not sure I'll manage it tonight.
And after all that I have no way to synch up with my Fit Band, boo. I wonder if Dad's Android that he got from Aldi would work? Sadly my tablet is also too old to be updated to KitKat (the latest Android OS) either. Well, the manual does say you can use it without the app, somehow, so I'll have to investigate that tomorrow.
On that note, it's late and there's no time for Memes, ah fail. I shall have to get back to you on that. For now, wish me a good night sleep!
Goodnight all!
