Which can be used when changing the battery for the phone to glue back the battery and the existing back cover of the phone
Need to replace an old phone for a family member and looking to buy an iphone 13 Pro now. 1) Which retailers might still have new ones now? 2) Which are the best used marketplace sites? Swappa looks sketchy, read bad reviews on Gazelle, and most phones on BackMarket and Swappa look like they show warning messages when turned on that non-Apple parts have been used. Most models on ebay are refurbished and only a few used ones pop up from time to time.
I would like to know peoples opinions, is Visible better than Boost infinite? Boost infinite provides, unlimited international calls. But not hotspot unless you pay extra, and visible has unlimited hotspot.
Hii guys, I'm looking for one of those games with the most advertisements of any other. Like an add every 30 seconds or even better clicking a button for some extra item that automatically gives an add everytime I push it. The reason is because I saw an add for a scam type game that used a guys videos from tiktok jaja, talking about all the money he made and they stole the video. Anyways I wanted to record it to show others so I'm here looking for one of those games that spams advertisements non stop. I'll be able to get the adds to show me what I want by doing a few google searches on a specific topic before I open the game. Thanks and xdee to ya.
Around the camera pinhole there's this weird round spot. It came out of nowhere. I woke up with it. The phone has no damage whatsover, didn't fall, no water damage. Pristine conditions.
Before I go back to the shop to discuss warrenty (it's a refurbished phone) I though it might be useful to see if someone reckongnizes such a spot and what the underlying reasons might be. Bend frame perhaps?
I had a hard time finding more information about KS Mobile, maker of PhotoGrid app. Does anyone have any information about MS Mobile? It’s a wonderful app, I’m a bit surprised why it’s impossible to google more about it. Seems like the maker, KS Mobile, has done it intentionally.
Hey Guys. There is a anoying notification If i use my Headphones "to Long". Is there a way to disable this?
So for context this problem first started happening a couple days ago when I got hundreds of messages from 4 of my friends and a random number all saying "no subject" and it's been blowing up my phone to the point where multiple people have commented on it, when I ask me friends and the random number and provide a screenshot they swear they haven't sent anything to me it's getting on my nerves and it makes me look bat shit insane, how do I make it stop (I will attempt to provide a screenshot of my problem)
Hi! I just bought a xiaomi note 11 pro and the recorded videos sounds really bad. I tried to record someone playing guitar and it sounded like the microphone was covered but it wasn't. I googled it, and it might be noise cancelling but i don't know how to turn it off. I would appriciate if someone could help. Thanks!
Hello! I want to connect an Android to a monitor using HDMI but the monitors report "no signal" on their respective HDMI sockets. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you manage to solve it?
I bought my iPhone 14 pro max in Canada not very long ago and just arrived in Japan. It is unlocked and I'd like to get a Japanese number so that I can talk, text and use data. I'll be here for 6-12 months. I've seen that iPhone 14 pro max can't use Japanese sim cards and have see companies like B-mobile have e-sim but only provide data and not talk and text. I'm not really sure where to go from here.
Can someone please help me locate a clean version of the linked ring tone? I was told to look at Streamlabs library, but I did, and it wasn't there. 😔
I'd love to use this for my text messages. Thank you for any help.
Can you please recommend me which phone of these to buy? And please just pick one without recommending other phones, these are my only options.
My criteria: stable, stable, stable… I’ve been using iphone for years and it got 0 lags. You know the quality. I need the same stability and quality. i don’t want these cheap phones with 94727 cores but still lags after a month or 2. I can look up the specifications online, but I can never check for the quality online, thats why im asking here. Thank you,
Samsung Galaxy A53 5g 256/8 … Oppo A98 5g 256/8 … Mi redmi note 12 pro 5g 256/8 … Redmi note 11t 5g 256/8 … Oneplus nord ce3 lite 5g 256/8 …. Motorola g73 5g 256/8
Thank you again,
Edit: added a phone
Hello everyone, I'm from India and I am currently using OnePlus 7T. I'm planning to upgrade my phone. So, I'm thinking I'll go for iPhone. But, my question is should I wait till iPhone 15 or should I go for the iPhone 14? If it's iPhone 14 then which one of them? I'm more inclined towards the 14 plus. Or do you suggest an Android alternative? Please help me with this. Thanks in advance. #iphone #android
I have been an android user all my life. I can switch to iphone for very cheap. Cricket offers cheap iphones if I switch, and transfer a number. Im in the US. I sideload apps on android all the time. Im big about privacy, sideloading, and open-source. I know iphones are usally better than android. I have no other apple devices besides a pair of airpods. I think that apple has very nice devices. Is it right for me?
I would like to play a game where you can play with a character that forms a family and when he dies you play with one of his heirs, kinda like mount and blade bannerlord, crusader kings or rogue legacy gameplay style.
Is getting a mobile data charge for 7 gigabytes uses in 10 minutes even possible? Got a charge from my cell provider that I used 7 gigabytes in 10 minutes, any idea what could cause my usage to be that high?
How can I root my vivo y21t android 13 plzz I have been trying for a year now
Ek to iphone ke battery wasey he nahi chalti or upper se jab se 5G pakdneg lga hai or jyda jaldi drain ho rhi hai battery. Or kisi ke sath bhi kuch aisa ho rha hai ??
I am thinking to buy a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro from an Apple authorised service provider (I live in Portugal and there is no Apple Store). They said, the battery of the refurbished unit will be at 90 to 93 percent. After buying the refurbished iPhone, I will pay them extra 80 euro to change the battery to a new battery (they said all their parts in the phone are original Apple parts, and the new battery will also be original.
I checked Apple website and saw their store name (it’s called FNAC) in the Apple authorised service provider list in Portugal.
We know that when we buy a “brand new” iPhone 13 Pro, it comes with IP68 water and dust resistant feature.
But, will the refurbished iPhone 13 Pro from that store have the “full IP68 protection” ? (They said- their refurbished units have the IP68 protection)
Apple puts the IP68 protection via adhesive glue around the screen, different kinds of gaskets and other things.
My question is, will the refurbished iPhone 13 Pro from the “Apple authorised service provider” store (in Portugal ) have the EXACT SAME ip68 condition like a brand new iPhone 13 Pro?
I'm twenty one years old with a very controlling and invasive mother. She is spying on me through my phone to try and control me still. I need help disabling whatever app or process she's using.
I am on a Samsung galaxy note and she also has a Samsung android.
First she could check what apps I was on at what time. I disabled digital Wellbeing and locations and I also checked for any spy apps and found none.
Today she showed me that she somehow has a screenshot I took on my phone. I think she can somehow check my camera roll. Is there anyone who could please help me? I don't know how she's doing this and couldn't find much help on Google.
I had to go to service centre for fixing the display of my mobile. It was damaged when it fell out from my vehicle. But during the screen repair the authorities claim that my battery was predamaged and inserting new one further complicates things. So they initiated a replacement of a so claimed brand new phone under the payment of only the display cost.
My questions are
Should i trust what they said. Does this whole thing like a mistake made by them and a possible coverup.
I retrieved all my data. Wont they get the same if they re repair the old phone. How to delete them cause its not turning on.
Doesnt this make a huge lose for the company considering a whoping price difference between just the display and the entire phone cost. Should i trust them with the new phone cause it can be a refurbished one or such.
i am new here...can you please tell a good camera phone(especially videos and vlogs) which i can buy second hand under 15-17k
i have some options in my mind
It's a shame that LG stopped producing mobile devices. IMO LG was the least acknowledged, realised and advertised, excellent premium phone makers. I think they focused more on the build quality and premium features than the OS. I found it really hard to find a phone that has all the features, build quality and dimensions of an LG V30+ Thinq device.
Nevertheless I am not ready to believe a brand producing similar phones doesn't exist. Or may be not in the same price range?
So could someone point me to a brand and model of such a phone? Oh BTW it should be available in India.
The features I am looking specifically for are:
Is Samsung S21 5G really worth in May 2023? What else I am missing as compared to the latest version?
So i have an iphone xs and it broke and is non useable. So i am borrowing a friend’s S7, however i want to buy the iPhone 14 pro or should i wait for the 15 pro. Is it worth it will there be a bigger change? I really hate the phone i am borrowing now.
Question I have Google Fi now but want another service that comes close to it which would be an alternative MVNO. Google Fi is just getting too costly. Thanks
