My phone was stolen. How can I recover the pictures and notes on it?
As you would imagine, you cannot really recover data from your lost or stolen Android phone once it has gone. You can only use the data cached in the cloud by Google, which can include contacts, wallpapers, calendar entries and some account information. It does not automatically back up images, games, movies and other data so you should configure backups right away.Enable sync and backups in Android1. Navigate to Settings, Accounts, then Google.2. Select the account you want to back up.3. Select Gmail, Contacts and Calendar.4. Navigate to Settings and then Backup and reset.5. Select Back up my data.If you want to backup images, videos, music and other data you can set up sync to Google Drive. You have 15GB of space by default and can buy more if you wish.1. Download and install the Google Drive app if it isn’t already on your phone.2. Open Google Drive on your handset and select the three menu lines in the top left.3. Scroll down to Settings and select it.4. Choose how, what, where and when your phone backs up to Google Drive.Google Drive can either automatically back up your files to the cloud or you can do it manually. I tend to allow it to do it automatically but only when connected to Wi-Fi. That way I get all the benefits of auto syncing without burning through my data allowance.There are also apps that can automatically back up your phone to the cloud through Drobox or other cloud storage if you don’t want to use Google Drive. Just remember to set it up now. You can’t recover data from a lost or stolen Android phone once it’s gone unless you have backed it up!
Which has a better camera, Samsung Galaxy s4 or the iPhone 5s?
Technologically speaking for overall better color reproduction, exposure, contrast, autofocus and flash the iPhone 5s would be the clear winner. With a DxOMark Mobile score of 76 the Apple iPhone 5s ranks in second place to the inspirational Nokia 808 Pureview, and ahead of other notable camera-phones including the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the previous iPhone 5, which score 75 and 72 points in our smartphone rankings. The new iPhone 5s focuses quickly and accurately and captures images with lower noise and fewer artifacts than its predecessor, while retaining very nearly the same high levels of detail. On the downside, strong luminance noise is still apparent in low light levels despite a slightly bigger sensor and larger f/2.2 optics. Along with the upgrade to the camera sensor, the new iPhone 5S adopts new flash technology boasting two different color LEDs with the resultant images showing better color rendition and good levels of detail both in our lab and our real world tests. If you only care about megapixels and overall quality is not a problem for you then the Galaxy S4 would be the better option. In the end the iPhone 5s doesn't beat the Galaxy S4 by a huge margin only by a slight bit. It mostly comes down to what really matters to you when choosing a smarphone for its camera, if you want more megapixels then no doubt you'd go with a Galaxy S4. If you want photos with overall better tonal quality etc you'd choose an iPhone 5s.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S4 a good phone?
I currently have the iPhone 4 and can get an upgrade in October. I was just wondering is the Samsung Galaxy s4 a good phone? Also, compared to the iPhone 5 which is better? Thanks!
Are higher megapixel cameras in phones still better than modern lower megapixel cameras?
I noticed that so many high end modern phones have such low megapixel counts (12 mp on both the Galaxy S9 and iPhone Xs). The pictures taken do look nice but I ve had so many occasions where I try to zoom on those low megapixel images and they always become super blurry. How do those compare to a much older phone like the Lumia 1020 which had a 41 megapixel camera?
