Hudl has got a gammy charger port. Tesco are doing a repair for free but will probably flash the device before commencing work on it. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "back up"? Applications, settings, photos?

May be possible drag and drop to p.c.? I did this with Kindle when being replaced by Amazon then just dropped back onto new Kindle.

Well when recently changing from a moto g to nexus 5 when I put my google details in on first startup it proceeded to basically mimic everything off the G to the 5, so assuming the hudl uses Google and not its own system Google should have a back up on their servers. Pictures etc will of course depend on whether you have set up sync though, and on the new or restored device they will be shown in the gallery but in the cloud rather than on device (in my case at least).

Can't comment on whether games will lose their save state as didn't have any. I did have to sign back into everything however.

All phone related of course but the hull is android so should be similar...I think!

Its laddos tablet. There's one cheeky app on there that isn't available anymore. Just wondered if you could store them somewhere then reload back on?

Google "[app name] apk", you might find the installer.

the back up would be a nandroid, which you could then copy to the pc or somewhere. no idea how easy getting security access and making a nandroid is on the hudl. take a look on the xda developers site if you want to go that route.

however, I suspect cougar's suggestion will work fine.

ES File Explorer 'claims' to be able to back up apk's (the format of android apps) whether it works or needs root access I couldn't say but might be worth a shot as its a free download.

Download Astro File Manager. It will allow you to backup the apps then transfer them onto another device. When you go to install them on the new device you will need to tick the box in security settings that allows you to install apps from unknown sources.
I sent the required apps to Dropbox so I could access them whenever I wanted. This worked for free apps, not sure of paid for ones.
