Back when I used to use Windows I could use a program similar to ZIP to put all my files into an archive, encrypt and password it. Compression was only an option. It kept my files safe and secure. I've been trying to figure out how to do that on my Note 20 ultra so I can back up my files onto a...

I've been searching for a good game for a long time but all I keep finding is games being pushed by the algorithm instead of what I'm actually looking for. 😓 I need help! I'm trying to find something in a war or post-apocalyptic setting. I love scavenging & collecting loot, RPGs, PVE, &...

It already downloaded..... I don't even know how to block updates like that. I tried to find out how and I couldn't find any reliable information, just explanations that didn't make any sense or wanted me to go into the boot up menu. I'm not going to mess with all that.

Just like the title says. Mine came with Android 11... but I have a particularly bad history with updating phones more than once with the next version of android. My S4, Turbo 2, Z Force, Note 9, all completely ruined by updates. The last time it happened with my note 9 and it started suffering...

Every time I upgrade a phone to the next operating system, it typically breaks the phone. Abnormal battery draining and other battery issues, overheating issues, app issues, random bugs, UI issues, hardware issues, the list goes on and on. This happens every time I upgrade a phone to the next...

I don't have a computer. By some random miracle I found DriveSync.... That app saved me! It's backing up everything for me using google, and I have graded my Google storage. It let me effortlessly choose all the folders I wanted to back up and it's handling all of it for me. I don't have to do...

I finally got it up to 100%! Keeping the phone cool with alcohol worked!

Im holding folded paper towels soaked in alcohol against the back of the phone to keep it cool so it can charge and back stuff up. And it's working! It's already up to nearly 40%.

I just got off the phone with him and he thought it was really weird that my battery is draining while the phone is turned off, because it obviously shouldn't be doing that. He said all he can do is try another battery and see if that helps, and if not, try to problem solve the issue and see if...

I'm going to call him back in a minute. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier but I'm not entirely certain he understood at first that I was trying to tell him that the phone was completely turned off. I think he was trying to talk to me and deal with another customer at the same time. I'm...

Okay wtf, how can a phone battery be draining while a phone is turned off?! I got off the phone just now with the guy who replaced my battery and he said he can diagnose the problem. Usually he's pretty good. He's a little hard to understand because he's foreign, but he mentioned something about...

Okay something is really really really wrong. Now the battery is even draining down to zero when I turn the phone off! Something's wrong! I turned the phone off all day while I was busy doing stuff, and when I came back to start packing it up, it was completely dead. The battery was drained down...

My phone is in bad shape right now and I fear the worst. I need to back up my files ASAP. I can't back up one file at a time, it'll take way too long. I can't figure out how to backup entire folders in Google drive. I even tried using Chrome, there's no option to upload anything in Chrome. I...

No I never got any notification telling me my phone was overheating.... I don't think that's it because I turned on airplane mode to turn off wireless and nothing changed. Nothing changed at all. This started after I upgraded from Android 9 to Android 10. Something went wrong. I don't...

Re: Note 9 Overheating! Why?! It's only at 59% and here's an update of the temperature readings
