I have owned a ton of phones, from iPhones, to Samsungs and LG or HTC. Even Lumia windows phones and blackberry devices. I always go back to stock or near stock android. After having an LG G6 and a Samsung Galaxy S8 as well I realized I wanted a phone with no bezel or almost no bezel so the 2 XL...

I had both phones and found that I was gravitating more to the 2 XL not because of the weight but I found the assistant was better. I also got a free google home mini when I got the phone and I use that a lot and I have 2 chromecasts, so having all the google devices in my home it made sense to...

I have had many phones. Currently I have the Pixel 2 XL as my primary, I used to have the iPhone X and decided to go Pixel as the iPhone hasn't really changed much in the last 4-5 years. A couple new things here and there but google has been constantly making changes and adding new things...

I recently bought a nexus 7 2012 from a friend and it had 5.1.1 on it and it was terrible. I decided to load a custom rom and I have used cyanogenmod in the past and found 13 was unofficially available and it runs 6.0 and it runs a million times faster then it did before. I have had zero issues...

I went to fido and they told me I could ship out the phone and it would take 3-6 weeks. I could get a loaner phone for a deposit of $100 charged to my credit card that I do not have. The loaner phone would be a 5 plus year old nokia flip phone. I could also go to the Samsung store and they could...

I got my S5 3 days after launch and I recently discovered my front camera doesn't work well. It is partially blocked behind the screen and when I try to take pics the top half of the screen is blacked out. I am with Fido and I was wondering what my repair or exchange options are now that I have...

I find my sensor works some of the time. It is a little picky about how I swipe but for the most part it works fairly well. I enjoy it and it is a good feature on the phone. It isn't as smooth as the one on my Iphone 5s but it still works well

Today around 8:10 pm in BC there was an earthquake near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and within minutes I had an alert from my Geonews app. It even gave me the option to alert my emergency contact if i were safe or if I needed assistance. It also gave me a link to tips for what to do. I think...

I am having a really strange issue on my computer. I have used 3 browsers and when I connect to the google play store it comes up in many different languages. When I sign in using my account part of the page is in English then it turns to either spanish or chinese further down my page. It even...

I have a 32gb Nexus 5 and I was using it on Rogers but decided I wanted to switch it to my Koodo line and so I took out the Rogers SIM and placed my Koodo SIM into it and now it won't read that there is a SIM card in the phone. I have a SIM card inserted and I even put my rogers SIM back into...

Re: How to hide ip I use unblock-us.com and it works very well

Anytime that has happened to me before over and over I have just done a full reset of the phone and reinstalled the apps I have usually only a few at a time to see what is going on. Sometimes the problem comes back but at that time you know what apps would have caused it. My personal experience...

try it and give it a few days of normal usage to see how the phone responds

Go into settings, slide down to about phone, tap that then select system updates. Once you do the update restart the phone then go into settings then select Backup & Reset, then go to Factory Data reset and do the reset from there
