If my headphone jack isn't working, how do I fix it?
I've had this happen to me a couple times.First, try unplugging your headphones out and back in. Yes, sounds silly but sometimes it's that easy. (Happens sometimes if you can't seem to raise volume with keys on keyboard.If no luck...Try holding down the option key and click on the sound icon on the very top nav of your macbook. Doing this will reveal additional options(you can actually try this on most of the icons up there, like wifi). Check the "output device" and make sure it's not trying to send the audio elsewhere (such as apple tv). You should ideally see an option that says "headphones" on that list. Click it.If no luck..If you do not see headphones on the list described above, try a simple restart. That tends to get everything back to normal.
How long should i leave my wet phone in rice?
First off, well done! So many people take careless advice when it comes to water logged cell phone and often those that do don't take the chance of dousing with fresh water after salt water has touched it. Other than removing the SIM card (if it had one), it sounds like you've done everything perfectly. Generally the recommended time is 24 to 48 hours, the 48 usually for phones and small electronics without removable batteries like an Iphone for example. The sim card removal is only for added ventilation. Generally it's not advised to open the phone when it's been wet in case of getting water in deeper crevices. Usually it's best just to submerge it in fresh water. Considering you sound like you know what you were doing and take care with your phone, I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that you did fine :) . Back to the topic, I imagine your phone is ready to be checked by now. Like I mentioned, the longer wait time is usually for bulkier phones, an considering you've removed the battery immediately, you should be good to try it out. Good luck! Let us know how it works!
What is the easiest way to back up settings on Samsung GS3 so that if something goes wrong I start over without a ton of customizing (like the way iPhones work)?
Sync it with your google account.. All your apps and settings would be restored incase your phone gets formatted or factory reset!It can be found in Settings >Accounts and Sync>Backup settings.(It may vary from phone to phone)Select all the stuff you want to be backed up and then click okay.(This feature needs a working Net connection on your phone)
How long are Samsung's smartphones' lifespans? Specifically, how long is it until it starts to have problems?
If you get a flagship phone, the hardware will most likely last for 3 to 4 years. The battery will need to be replaced within 1.5 years. Peripherals that usually die around 3 years are the charging port and headphone jack. The OS will be updated to new Android versions for 2 years, and additional security patches will be pushed out for another year (3 years software support total technically). The build quality on flagships Samsung Note 4 and before are far more durable, being made of high quality polycarbonate and having removable batteries and modular parts. Samsung S6 and onwards are made out of glass and are super fragile and hard to repair.I myself use a flagship Samsung Galaxy Note 3 since early 2014, its still fine in June 2017 after almost 3 1/2 years usage, except the charging port is getting a little loose and may need to be replaced soon. And I also bought another battery from Amazon in 2015.If you get a midrange or entry-level phone, the build quality, especially on phones before 2015, will be pretty bad. Should last about 2 years before something dies. The new 2016 and 2017 A-series and C-series are pretty good and should also last about 3 years, although the battery will need to be replaced after 2 years.
How do I use USB On-The-Go on LG G3 D855? Do we need to root the phone or will it support it directly?
Turn on USB Debugging from developer settings. You'll have to tap the build number option in about phone 7 times and the dev settings will get unlocked if you haven't done it already. Then, download ES File Explorer and it should work.
What type of glue could I use under cell phone glass?
Ok, so I have a samsung gs3 and I broke the glass months ago. I also replaced the glass months ago. When I replaced the glass it left a very tiny 1mm or less gap between the LCD and the glass from where the old glue use to be. This causes many problems because condensation under the glass and lack of sensitivity make the phone act weird and spaz out sometimes. All I ask is if anyone knows what type of clear conductive glue can I buy and use to seal my glass to the lcd and end the problems.
Can I put my verizon sim card in a tmobile phone?
It won't work at all. Not unless your GS3 is approved to be used globally. Even then, you would have to do a couple of other steps (don't ask me how since I don't use T-Mobile at all) that would then program your phone to use T-Mobile's GSM towers. Hope this helped.
Why do people call the iPhone a "piece of crap" phone?
It's because all these people are Apple haters. They hate the fact that they are so sucessful and their products are a little pricy. It true, their stuff isn't cheap but come on, you get some awesome quality products that have amazing performance. Answer is: Those people are just haters who envy apple.
Factory reset Galaxy S3 without home button?
I have a GS3 and the home button does not work, unfortunately, to hard reset you must hit volume up, home button, and power at the same time. Is there another way to factory reset?
