I'm ordering my elderly mum an android tablet since she often struggles using her smartphone. She has always used one Hotmail email address for sending emails and setting up accounts like for an online shop. I must have setup her phone with a Gmail address before (created purposely for the...

I had to change country on my phone to download important apps to use in the country I was living in for a couple of months. I'm back home now but Google won't let me change back to my original country for a year! I have important apps to download and use but Google Play states they're not...

I use Wi-Fi and data. I think I'll have to make a list of scenarios to exhaust: Call using Wi-Fi. Call using data (WhatsApp & network). Someone else calling me using the above. Call using above again but outside and/or a different location. I don't know if it's always the case because I...

Ah, that's interesting, I didn't know that. Maybe WhatsApp uses the mics differently?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I did try to log in before I posted the question but there was no button to click to do so, maybe it was my Firefox up to its shenanigans again! I replaced the screen a while back. I've only took a phone apart a couple of times so it wouldn't surprise me if I upset...

I really can't remember if I had this issue before or after I replaced the screen on my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 so I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue. You would think it's a hardware issue until you read its symptoms because it doesn't make sense to me. When I speak to someone using my...

My Xiaomi Mi Max 3's screen has just died and I forgot to set up my WhatsApp & SMS history back up. I'm going to order replacements parts but they won't arrive until mid-January, therefore, I'm hoping to use my old Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in the meantime. Currently I can continue using my...

Thanks, I was looking at that model and it is better than the A21 but nearly twice the price. Do you think it'll come down in price quite a bit when the new models are released soon? Then again, I've just compared the specs on GSMArena. I don't know how accurate they are but even though the...

I need to get my 79 year old mum a new Samsung phone. She's had my old Note 3 for a while now which is still alive and kicking but there are some apps like an EKG monitor that are no longer compatible with the phone. It has to be a Samsung phone or rather that has KNOX based because apparently...

I can cast (mirror) my phone & tablet screens onto a TV using a Miracast dongle connected to the TV without issue. However and as expected, when playing a video file on my device, the TV picture stutters and the audio becomes out of sync. This must because the casting isn't fast enough to deal...

Thanks for your reply. When I connect, a pop up message briefly appears on the phone 'Connected as a media devce'.
