    Help Locked out of my phone due to the Gboard / How can I sideload Gboard apk on the Recovery Mode?

    Hi. I don't really want to factory reset it because aside Gboard's bug, the rest all works perfectly fine and I've saved info in the phone and hadn't made a backup of it elsewhere. Moreover, as on the title, is it possible to install the Gboard apk updated via the Recovery Mode? P.S. I have...

    SanDisk 64GB card gone for good?

    So I've been using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card on my Geotel Note 4G which I made a backup yesterday of all the files it had, and then I did a factory reset on the phone (it had a lot of junk accumulated from apps, games and stuff). After that, the card was no longer eligible to be formatted on the...

    Family

    I used to love my family, sisters and parents (sadly never had a brother) but recently it's gotten to a point when talking to them is just impossible. They mock me for wanting a better life on my own, make fun of me for such, think of me as unreliable and childish and to top all that, suicide...

    Android and the constant app updates

    I love using Android as my daily computer but the updates that are kinda like daily cn get pretty annoying, I don't get why developers need to make so many updates to their apps in such a short time. It'd be unerstandable if the app was broken but that's not the case for most apps, anyway. My...

    Wallpaper appears with black bar on the left side after reboot (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2)

    So when I forget to recharge the tablet, it tends to turn itself off naturally but then when I boot it up again the wallpaper is always moved on over to the right side, leaving some of the left side with a big black bar. Is there anyway to avoid that, even after the reboot? I use the tablet...

    Using a tablet as a laptop

    So I'm using my Samsung tablet (Tab S2) with mouse and keyboard via OTG and it feels like a laptop except without a physical keyboard attached to it though everything else just seems right at home. Who'd knew we'd have technology like this in the future. I'm still waiting for hover cars and to...

    "KKSearch" and "tencent* folders keep regenerating

    Hi, I have no idea about the first one though I wish I could get rid of it permanently and secondly, I think the tencent folder was due to the fact I installed PUBG Mobile before but I have uninstalled it sometime ago. Any chance to make sure these folders can stay deleted forever? Thanks.

    Which is the best ES File Explorer version bloat-free?

    I don't want to replace it with a different file explorer but at the same time I'm not too happy with the bloated version that's currently being provided to its users. I read that the old versions worked perfectly but which version (number) exactly?

    PUBG Mobile - Even if you're not into gaming, give it a try.

    This game runs really well on Android but the best way to truly play it is with a keyboard and mouse connected to the Android. You'll love it.

    PUBG on Android

    Gave it a try but it's even worse than playing with a controller though I found it comedic we were all with barely any clothes and jumping around. The game runs great so that's at least something.

    Nintendo Switch Pro Controller on Tab S2

    I gave it a try hoping it'd work flawlessly but it was laggy, so laggy. I read it works fine with some phones and tablets so I wonder why not with a Samsung device.

    What's a good starter amount to invest on Bitcoin?

    I know this a bit of a random question but what would you suggest? I've been thinking of going with $50 and then see what would happen from there. // I've been told this is a risky investment as one can win and lose money from it but I have been wanting to get into Bitcoin for ages now.

    Need advice on buying a tablet

    So I'm split between Samsung Tab S2 and Lenovo TAB 4 10 Plus, does the Lenovo tablet stand any chance against Samsung's one? /// I've also come across Huawei MediaPad M3 8' but not sure Huawei is a brand tablet that lasts for years and will run at a good performance which is why I'm going...

    I've read that ES File Explorer isn't as good as it used to so what do you guys suggest? I'd need it with FTP support for ease of file transfers. // Thanks.
