    Rapid charging and appropriate cables

    And I must admit, that this had rung some bells and now I do know that the reason why my laptop was fried when was shut down but was charging a phone, was a cable (it happened few months ago). Thank you.

    Rapid charging and appropriate cables

    Well, here are the pics: On one there is a phone being charged rapidly, on the other it's a comparison of the fast (white) cable with some other I have bought somewhere else. (the photo is taken from the usb-c side, presumably). I am not arguing that Benson Leung is a brilliant hardware...

    Rapid charging and appropriate cables

    Nope, it's a "normal" USB-A to USB-C, and I certainly get "charging rapidly" with that thick cable.

    Rapid charging and appropriate cables

    Hi all, I have 2 nexus 5x (mine and my wife's). And I have really a problem finding a cable that can handle the "rapid charge" mode. Detailed explanation: long ago I purchased a good cable on ebay, it was just randomly chosen one. But accidentally I received a decent one, thick and looking...

    Icons on home screen don't save

    That's weird but some icons added to home screen on moto g 2nd gen don't survive after reboot. That is - they just disappear and I have to add them back. Could not google even a single similar case. Anyone aware of why it happens and how to fix it?

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    Hey guys, just to let you know: all the built in apps updated automatically and appeared in the list of "my apps" PS: to be precise only some of them updated, others just appeared there waiting for granting more permissions

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    That's a good idea. I will give it a couple of days though, just to see if it updates automatically (I've updated all major apps already and don't care if "Google News" is a bit old).

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    Google Keyboard is a great example actually. It's not in the App Drawer (finally I know how it's called) and I just updated it manually. Ohhhhhhhh

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    I understand that, yes. But what about other applications? There are heaps of services and not every of them has an icon in the apps list. Not to say that some apps are tricky to find, like Phone or Camera (which is in this case is made by Motorola)

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    that is WEIRD :-S But thanks :-) Just curious, will not they update automatically on the next update check or I have to add them one by one manually anyway?

    How to force all built-in apps update?

    I've just unpacked my wife's new moto g 2nd gen (it's her first android) and noticed that in google play app the "my apps" tab is entirely empty. Even though there is a bunch of built in apps is preinstalled as you know. I manually updated google chrome and gmail apps, but is there a way to...

    How to crop an image in Instagram (v6.4-6.5)

    I know it sounds silly but I spent half an hour trying to find how to crop an image taken by built-in Instagram facilities and then how to crop it right after that. Surprisingly there is only a tool to rotate an image and no crop available anymore. So the question is: could anyone please show...
