hi new to the forum and fairly new to when it comes to doing beyond the normal ops on droid devices.
but hope someone can help me here. i have a simple tablet among my other toys, its a "insignia NS-P16AT08" according to the unit info under "about this tablet" it says its kernel version, android 5.0.1. i have tried to check for updates but i keep getting a "check your network" message....i know there is nothing wrong with my network cause a second later i am surfing the net on the same tablet. but here is my issue i guess i was wondering is there anyway i can update whatever version of bluetooth the device has. reason why i ask is cause i tried to connect to a bluetooth dongle and the tablet sees it but wont pair with it even after i input the code, but when i use my phone galaxy S7 edge to pair and bind with the same bluetooth dongle it does it with no problem. i was wondering maybe the OS could be a issue....? so pretty much what i wanted to know is there a way to change the version of android i am running on my tablet or upgrade the bluetooth hardware....? i got the tablet for my hobby i dont rely on this tablet for super fast performance i wanted to connect to my flying machine axis gyro via bluetooth and i also use it for watching movies on kodi. any help would be appreciated.
PS please when ya try to explain please remember my level of tech so feel free to talk to me like i am some dummy, wont take offense thanks again.
