    Can we talk about Chinese phones vs brand name ones and what they offer for their pricing?

    In the UK. I had recently decided to stop spending so much money on flagship phones and started getting into mid-rangers (considering I only use my phone for Facebook and media - videos, camera, etc). After having been a massive Samsung fan for pretty much all my life, I finally made the jump...

    Looking for a new mid-range Android phone.

    I've been using Samsung Galaxy A41 for almost a year and a half now. It's a decent mid-ranger for my needs, but it's missing that "smoothness" and snappiness of opening apps. I am basically looking for something with a faster processor. No other needs, except that the display has to be 1080p...

    Mobile data active, but no connection.

    I have a 6-month Galaxy A41. The phone software updated yesterday and since then, I don't have any internet connection whenever I use mobile data (either on Chrome, Playstore or anywhere - nothing works). Network is Vodafone. I tried: - Rebooting the phone. - Removing the SIM card and trying...

    What is wrong with Youtube's search and recommendation suggestions?

    I made a new Google account 2 months ago. I made sure to apply the same YT settings and to subscribe to the same channels as before, but this time, something's gone really weird. For example, when I search something, I get only around 10 results, followed by "People also watched" and "For...

    "Bluetooth can't connect" error.

    I bought my first mid-range phone (Galaxy A41) and everything is great except... When I pair it with my laptop (Win 10), it pairs successfully, but it shows an error "Bluetooth couldn't connect" when attempting to connect to it. It can successfully transfer files from and over to the laptop...

    I just bought my first budget phone and...

    I really enjoy it! I used to buy flagships all the time. Realised I am only using my phone for Internet, photos and videos (no gaming at all). So I bought a Galaxy A41 - really enjoy it! It's a tiny fraction below my previous phone's specs (LG G7), but it performs almost as well and also costs...

    Can a phone play higher resolution videos than what its display is?

    If let's say I want to buy a certain new smartphone, can it play 1920x1080p videos, considering its resolution is 720x1600p? If yes, what would the drawbacks be? Many thanks.

    Recommend me a good mid-ranger for up to £300.

    I currently have a 2 and a half year old LG G7. I am thinking of replacing it soon. I realised i don't really need a flagship device, as I only use my phone for films, YT clips/music and Facebook. A decent camera is also a plus, although I am not too picky. Therefore, i've calculated a maximum...

    How do I enable address bar suggestions for Chrome (Android)?[Solved]

    I recently created a new Google account and also reset my phone (LG G7). Must've tampered with a setting, but when typing an address in Chrome for the first time, suggestions on what the site might be no longer appear (causing me to have to write the address in full). Any idea how to enable...

    Question regarding new-created Google account.

    I recently created a new Google account, as I plan on deleting my old one. However, due to OCD (and wanting to start fresh), I hard-resetted my phone so that the Play Store is also fresh and clean. The thing is, i hard-reset the phone 3 times in a row and as a result, now the phone appears 3...

    Something has gone wrong with Youtube's video slider.

    I just used the YT app on my LG G7 for the first time in a few days and couldn't help but notice that the slider no longer moves whenever i randomly place my finger somewhere. Instead, I have to place my finger and hold for around a second before the slider gets to that point. Anyone else...

    Recommend me a cheap Samsung mid-ranger.

    I am looking to get a Samsung mid-ranger (to use as a secondary phone). Can you recommend me something really cheap, but good at the same time? Is A10 a good option or should i save some more for the A40? Thank you.

    Small dent in my screen protector - should I panic?

    I have an Olixar Tempered Glass screen protector on my LG G7. I've just noticed that there is a small white spot on my screen protector. It's not a stain, as I tried removing it and couldn't. It's rather something that's happened to the screen protector. It looks like a miniature "snowflake"...

    Monthly data didn't renew - is it the carrier or my phone?

    I recently started using my LG G7 again, after 9 months of using my old S7E and storing the G7 in the drawer. However, when Vodafone attempted to renew my monthly Data pack, the automated operator says I don't have enough credit (although I have £13 and it should automatically take £10 when...

    Question about App Usage.

    I want to know if Google Play Services drains my battery. When I go to Battery usage, I am a bit confused as each app says "Screen usage: # mins". Is that the overall app usage or only when I was on my phone and the screen was on? I want to know if the app is draining anything on the...

    How to disconnect Google account from Google Photos?

    I just hard resetted my LG G7 and when I went to Google Photos for the first time, it linked with my Google account. While I turned "back-up and sync" off, I want to completely remove the account from Photos, but without having to remove it from the phone altogether. Any suggestions on how to...

    Can you make another Google account with the same name?

    I was wondering - is it possible to create another Google account with your same birthright name as the previous one? I fully understand that upon creating, you will get a new Gmail address with a different name, I am simply asking about your overall Google account name. Or does your previous...
