Have you tried replacing the internal battery? It may have low charge or a shaky contact (that's more rare). Happy for your toddler. When mine grows up, I want to give her disconnected devices that are simpler and more tactile. Certainly not a phone.
The keyboard emulation is dead simple and reliable, so this seems to be a hardware problem. If you got an old device that was abused by a school student, there may even be some rust in the ports. Actually, I myself do not sync with the keyboard emulation anymore - I wrote a python package neotools that works faster.
- ryantgtg 5y agoThanks - yeah I looked it up last night and realized I should probably replace the battery. I'll do that once I get the correct size Torq! I think the keyboard emulation was related to a specific kernel version (I haven't tried in a couple years). I downgraded and it worked on an earlier one. I'll try on my current kernel soon. My toddler's first computer was a scientific calculator, then she upgraded to the Alphasmart (mine's actually a Neo2). She gets very very minimal phone time (always with us: check the weather once a day; look at a pic/vid that relatives sent). But one interesting thing is that the "suggested words" in iMessage on an iphone are a neat little tool for helping her learn to read. They only suggest so many words, and at 3.5 YO she's able to read many of them. So I let her send texts to the grandparents by selecting words and we practice reading them as she goes.
