Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

5 things you can try if your phone won't turn on

5 things you can try if your phone won't turn on

If you happen to not turn on the phone, the screen is black and does not show any signs of functionality, try to do these five things.

1. Connect it to the charger

This is the first thing you should do because maybe only the battery is discharged. When you plug in the charger, wait a while to see if the charging indicator appears on the screen. If it appears, that's it, charge the battery. If it does not appear, read on.

2. Check that the charger is working

Maybe the phone is working, the battery is low, but the charger is not working, do you think it's next to the phone. Try connecting another device to the charger and changing the outlet in the house. If this charger charges other devices, read on. If the charger does not charge other devices then try another charger. If it doesn't charge your phone with another one, read on.

2. Check that the charger is working

3. Change the battery

Maybe the battery is simply faulty. Ask someone with the same phone model to test the battery, or go to a parts store and buy/try a new one on the spot. If that doesn't help, read on.

4. Restore the Stock System

If you played with the system and after that, the phone did not want to turn on anymore, it would be best to restore the Stock system.

[Android] What are Custom and Stock ROM, Root, Flash, Firmware

However, to do this, the phone must enter the Download / Fast Boot / Recovery mode. If you haven't played with the system, then it's probably not this, although it's not bad to try because if you've reached this point you don't have much to lose (there is certainly no way to restore files now).

It would be best to take the phone to someone who deals with them and tell them to restore the factory system. If the phone can boot in Download / Fast Boot / Recovery mode, then it is saved, and so are the files.

5. Dry it

If the phone gets wet and is not water-resistant, likely, it will not turn on after that. Don't even try to turn it on!

5. Dry it
  • Open the phone immediately, ie. back cover, and remove the battery
  • Wipe off larger drops of water with a towel
  • Put the phone and battery (separately) in one bag full of rice
  • Leave it like this for a day and a half so that the rice absorbs all the moisture
  • Then replace the battery and try turning on the phone

If the phone still does not turn on, have it serviced. You will get a new one, or it will be repaired if it is under warranty. If not, then you will pay for the repair.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Wireless phone chargers - where, which and how to buy?

Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them,  which I already wrote about .
