    Overheating mark on the screen - any DYI ways to have it go away?

    A family member of mine has a Redmi Note 5 since last September and has been a very happy user when one day, with no warning beforehand, a semi-circular, ring spot appeared on the right hand side of the screen, it looks like THIS now. It's not like it was getting worse for some time, it was just...

    Weird ring spot appearing on Redmi Note 5's screen

    Nope, no screen protector whatsoever. Well, that's too bad, hoped there would still be some hope left for the screen :( Thanks anyway!

    Jittery GPS readings out of the blue

    Well, regretfully I received an update to Android 9 yesterday and after extensive testing I have to admit the very same problem persists :( Does that mean something hardware-related malfunctioned in my device and I can do nothing to fix this apart from sending it in?

    Jittery GPS readings out of the blue

    First of all, thanks for the replies. Mine surely isn't caused by the weather cause it happens regardless of whether it's a clear/cloudy/rainy/snowy day :( And yep, I have tried different routes of course - it happens regardless of where I'm running, be it a desolate path along the lake or main...

    Jittery GPS readings out of the blue

    I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 running Android 8.1.0 and had no issues with it whatsoever but lately, completely out of the blue, the GPS readings became really jittery when using the phone for running tracking. I've been running with it for as long as I had it (a year or so), using Endomondo exclusively...

    Android tablet connected to the Wi-Fi but constantly losing internet access

    Of course, though I do understand the addressing in my home ;) The IP is 100% not the problem - before I set it a static IP, it was even worse than it is now (ie. turning the airplane mode on and off almost never worked - you had to restart the whole device or, as I mentioned, the whole router)...

    Android tablet connected to the Wi-Fi but constantly losing internet access

    I've been using a new Lenovo Tab 7 Essential running Android Nougat for two weeks now and basically since the very beginning, I've been suffering from problems regarding the internet access. While I can connect to the WiFi with no problems at all, the connection to the internet drops all the...

    Xperia E5 overheating and losing charge very rapidly

    I've had an Xperia E5 for around 1 and a half years now. I had no problems with the phone whatsoever, it held charge for around 3 days under my usage but suddenly, four days ago it just became really, really hot on the back and lost charge by around 50% within two hours and then turned off...

    Phone only turns on when it's plugged in but then works normally

    My grandma uses a cheap 5.1-based Android phone, manufactured by a company named Manta and for the past few days, there have been a problem with turning it on after it randomly shut off (which I described in detail in the previous thread if the specifics are of any importance). Suddenly, I found...

    Phone stuck in a bootloop after a random restart

    Thanks. Yep, it gets stuck on the logo, not going blank->logo->blank->logo :( So there is no other thing I may try apart from a full wipe (or derivatives thereof)? :( I've tried plugging it in the charger right now when it's turned off and the battery animation correctly appears, indicating the...

    Phone stuck in a bootloop after a random restart

    My grandma uses a cheap 5.1-based Android phone, manufactured by a company named Manta (don't think it's available anywhere outside of Poland, just think your generic cheapest phone company), rooted with KingRoot and while it works really fine for the price, something peculiar happened...
