How to copy a picture from a message to your Samsung Galaxy S2

In this guide I will be showing you how to save those images from picture messages onto the internal memory of your phone. This is something that comes in handy for a number of reasons. The most obvious reason is that finding it through the Gallery is much each than scrolling through a long text conversation. Another issue is that there is a limit on the number of images you can store in one conversation and by default it is 20 (though can be changed to 5000) and it can slow the phone to scroll through a large number.

In the image to the right you can see an MMS with a picture of the country side. To start the saving process you need to hold your finger on it for a few seconds until a menu appears. Like the one you can see below/left to this short paragrap h.

When you see this pop up menu you need to click on "Attached items" which you can see clearly on the screen shot (the 3rd option down). After doing this you will see a list of all the attached items and their names. Each item will have a small tickbox as you can in the picture to the right. After you click in the box to tick the item (or items if there is more than 1 attached item) you will be able to click save and save it to your phone.

To find the item you will need to go to "Gallery" and then "download". You can then feel free to delete the message from your phone with out risking losing t he picture.

How to setup Broadband Internet connection on Windows laptop or PC

If by any chance your router does not have a working WAN port, you will have to directly connect the Ethernet cable to your PC or laptop for the broadband internet connection to work. Most routers today support high speed Wi-Fi so there is hardly any use for the LAN port except in offices where several desktops are in close proximity. To setup broadband internet on your Windows laptop or desktop via Ethernet cable, you will simply need to connect the cable to your PC and then setup a Broadband connection using the username and password provided by your Internet Service provider.

1.  Connec t the broadband internet cable to your laptop’s Ethernet port
2. Now you will see some blinking lights on the port, which tells you that the connection is working
3. Now press windows key and search “network and sharing” and “select network and sharing center”
4. Click on “Setup a new connection or network”
5. Click “Broadband (PPPoE)
6. Now type the username and password provided by your ISP (internet service provider)
• You can also check mark “Remember this password” if you don’t want to login username and password after every reboot or shutdown
• You can name the connection anything you like
7. Click “Connect” and your laptop will start connecting to broadband connection.

You should now be able to browse the internet. If you get connection failed error 651 or error 619, it means you have input wrong username and’;’p password
If the desktop icon on the bottom right of your laptop screen has a red cross on it, it means the connection has no internet.

GALAXY S6 EDGE WON’T POWER ON PROPERLY

GALAXY S6 EDGE WON’T POWER ON PROPERLY.

Hello people of Android! I have a Galaxy S6 Edge which I love and care for very much, but I have been having a large problem with it in the past few hours. When I went to go get a snack from my kitchen, I went to check my phone and it wouldn’t turn on. This scared me so I put it on my charger and waited as I took a shower. I came back and it seemed to have the charging battery logo but it wasn’t “filled” with green â€" which means it must’ve had a problem displaying battery or with holding a charge, since it was at 90% when this started to happen â€" but the odd thing is that the background that is supposed to be black, is black with blue horizontal stripes, which are in a design that did not seem like it was a problem with the screen. My solution was to hold the volume keys + the power button which brought me to a “Maintenance Boot Mode” menu. I proceeded to d o all but 2, which is factory reset in which I do not wish to do. This just brought me to a flashing “Galaxy S6 Edge” screen. One other thing that I forgot to mention, whenever I do any of this stuff involving the screen, the screen seems to turn on and off over and over. I would love to get the S7, but I would have to wait until mid March to get that which is near a month without my phone. Thank you for helping. â€" Evan

Solution: Hi Evan. Keep in mind that oftenti mes, when a Galaxy phone like your S6 fails to boot normally regardless of reason, the only best fix is by doing a factory reset. If your phone no longer responds normally when you power it on, we’re afraid you’ve got to try factory reset.

The display problem you describe here may or may not be a totally separate problem. To determine if that’s the case, you need to turn the phone on normally first. If the screen works fine when the phone is turned on properly, a software glitch may have caused it.

Apple iPhone 6s review

Introduction

The more it changes, the harder it becomes to see the difference. And you know, its not about Apple and the iPhone at all. Its where the industry has been heading for a while now. In the race for screen size and pro cessing power, the major makers flagships are like pro athletes finishing within milliseconds of each other. To get an extra edge, manufacturers will go in lots of directions - such as water proofing, bigger and sharper selfies, wireless charging, curved or borderless screens, whatnot.

A certain type of players would rather lose than be in a crowd of winners. Others dont even play games they cant win. We guess we all know where Apple stands on this.

With a single iPhone a year - two as of late - Apple is the kid that skips classes but aces the tests. The wild card player that goes on to win the tournament. The team that doesnt play qualifiers but goes to the world cup.

Wouldnt we all do less and make more? There goes the iPhone 6S, off to a familiar start. The same on the outside but trying to pose as the most important iPhone since the first one ever released.

The new iPhone, being an S model, naturally comes with more power under the hood, but also brings the long awaited camera upgrade. The main camera now uses a 12MP sensor capable of 4K video recording as well as 1080p at 120fps, there is a brand new 5MP selfie camera too. And, its the same screen size and resolution but we think its exactly what Apple meant with "the only thing thats changed is everything".

The first iPhone heralded the arrival of capacitive displays and multi-touch technology. The iPhone 6S is the first to have 3D touch - a screen technology that recognizes different levels of pressure for an extra dimension of interaction with a device.

A late tribute perhaps to resistive screens, which Apple itself sent to their doom. Not a particularly scientific statement although resistive technology did rely on actual pressure to work. Good enough for anyone with a penchant for the dramatic.

But if we are to stick to the facts, the iPhone 6s isnt the companys first device with a pressure-aware display, the Apple Watch is. Plus, phones like the Huawei Mate S and the ZTE Axon mini do deserve at least a mention as well. Anyway, this only high lights the difference between Apple and the rest. Cupertino has the habit - and in all fairness, the capability - to pick a niche technology and make it mainstream.

So, the pressure aware display and improved imaging are the big news about the iPhone 6S. Weve pretty much come to take the next OS and chipset version for granted.

Sure, we all know better than to expect a memory card slot and access to the battery, but we just cant agree with Apples decision to stick with the 16GB option as base instead of 32GB, which is actually not offered at all. 4K videos and the live photos (with sound) will clearly need more space than before. Not only that but Apple is actually charging slightly more in Europe for the base version of its latest iPhone.

And we can pu t it down as a typical Apple quirk that they snubbed things like water resistance and wireless charging but somehow couldnt resist the selfie thing. Oh well, therell be more of those as we go. Our 64GB iPhone 6s is popping out of the box right after the jump.

M8 Reset Window Keeps Appearing

Problem: Hello my name is Taylor Brooke Forbord. I have had my HTC for a year now and I am very satisfied with it. Until recently my phone has a mini window that appears asking me to reset the device by holing up volume and the power button for 10secs. It happens all the time whether I am checking my email, texti ng, etc. It pops up and will only go away if I tap the power button once. When I hit home button it screenshots it. I checked all my recent apps and uninstalled them and I have never had this problem before with my other apps. Any suggestions I am trying not to factory reset my phone.

Solution: This could already be a hardware related issue, probably a faulty power button. You should however verify if this is a software related issue by backing up your phone data and doing a factory reset.

• Press and hold the Power button
• Tap Power off.
• Press and hold the Volume Down key.
• Press and release the Power key to turn the phone on.
• Continue holding the Volume Down key.
• Release the Volume Down key when the three Android images app ear on the bottom of the screen.
• Press the Volume Down key twice to move the cursor from FASTBOOT to FACTORY RESET.
• Press the Power key to perform the master reset.

If the issue persists then bring the phone to an authorized service center and have it checked.

M8 Randomly Activates Car Mode

Problem: For about two days now my phone will go into car mode all by itself. I’ve tried disabling it by I can’t also I keep getting ads randomly popping up Whenever I wake my phone up. Our I’ll tap on an app and an ad will pop up. And then today my headphone jack will not work. I do not know if it’s hardware or software but I have read that’s it’s possible that the headphone and/or the usb port have dirt or other debris in them. Could you please confirm or possibly give other solutions. Thank you. also I have the HTC One M8 HK Running the most recent version o f lollipop.

M8 Not Connecting To HTC Sync Manager After Lollipop Update

Problem: Hi, Like many others after the Lollipop “upgrade” and AT&T’s update from March 2015, I was finding certain things not working, so far texts incoming and outgoing take about 6 seconds to register onscreen, LED light sort of works/blinks after recieving a call or text but seems dimmer than usual, LED light no longer comes on during charging and red LED is non existant during charging as well as green LED when charge is complete, had some problems seeing my home WiFi even though it is in the saved networks list, but no problem with work WiFi and thats intermitant. So I backed up my phone using HTC Sync Manager because I wouldn’t want to lose data right? then did a factory reset and “tada!” quite a few problems were gone and texts were lightening fast although the same problems with the LED still exist. The problem now is when I plug in the phone to my computer where all my backup info is, the HTC Sync Mgr. comes up, sees the phone, identifies it for a second and says “Loading Data”, does this for about a minute or 2 and then comes up with a message “Device unavailable, please reconnect your phone” although it is indeed connected and I haven’t moved it.I’ve seen this same problem posted on other sites but the posts are from 2014, and none of the solutions work. Any ideas on how I can get all of my back up info back onto my phone? Any info and help will be heartily appreciated. Thanks

Solution: Here’s how to solve the issue of your phone not connecting to the HTC Sync Manager.

Go to Settings > Security > then Check Unknown Sources.

Now perform these steps.

Start menu > File Manager > AndroidHtcSync2.apk (this file is located in the internal storage of your phone)> install

You should be able to connect yo ur phone to the HTC Sync Manager.

How to fix error 495 in Google Play Store on Android smartphones and tablets

The Error 495 is a Google Play Store error common among Android devices running older operating systems like Android 4.4 KitKat, 4.3 JellyBean and 5.0 Lollipop etc. This is the format of the error: "Facebook" could not be downloaded due to an error. (495). YouTube, Whatsapp and Viber are among the apps that are mostly affected by this error. The most effective fix for Google Play Store error 495 are mentioned below. There are several methods but each will take only few minutes and they’re very easy to follow:

How to Fix Google Play Store Error 495 during Android app download/install

Method 1: Clear Google Play Store cache and data

1. Go to settings >> Apps >> All
2. Scroll down and select “Google Play Store”
3. Tap "Clear data”

1. Go to Settings >> Apps (application manager)
2. Tap the menu key or the three dotted settings icon
3. Select “Reset app preferences”

Method 3: Che ck Background data settings

Make sure your background date is unrestricted. Many users who have turned this setting on to avoid data charges and that can later cause error 495 while updating or downloading apps in Google Play.

1. Go to Settings >> Data usage
2. Tap menu key or the three dotted menu icon on the screen
3. Tap “Allow background data”
4. Now you should be able to download/update app in Google Play

Method 4: Check Access location

6. Now you should be able to download apps from Google Play

Method 5: Uninstall Google Play Store updates

This method has also worked for many users. Here you will reset Google Play Store app to the stock or older version. The Play Store app will update automatically later online.

1. Go to Settings >> Apps >> All
2. Select “Google Play Store”
3. Tap “Uninstall Updates” >> OK
4. Launch Google Play and you should no longer get the error.

The last thing you can try is delete your Google account from settings and then add it back. Refer to this post: How to fix RPC-S :7:AEC error in Google Play Store.
 That has also solved error 495 for many android users. Do you have another fix for this issue? Drop a comment.

The problems with an iPhone 4

Although the follow up the the iPhone 4 appears to be just around the corner the current phone still seems to be selling well and is still one of the best phones available despite being almost a year old. Apple have brought out the newest version of the iOS (iOS 5.0) and it seems inevitable that a phone will be following. Although much debate rages whether it will be a proper upgrade (i.e. iPhone 5) or a variation of the iPhone 4 (i.e. iPhone 4S or iPhone 4G) the current phone is the one we will focus on here.

The big issue was (and still is) the well known "death grip" that caused a lot of noise when the phone was first released. The "death grip" caused the signal (and as a result calls) to suddenly vanish due to the way users held the phone. Apples unhelpful response was to tell users "Youre holding it wrong" (which, understandable annoyed customers) and never actually got properly sorted.
The cause of the death grip was holding certain parts of the phone, almost in a natural position as you would do for a call and it did lead to huge negative press for the company. Despite the "death grip" the phone sold well and Apple even managed to fleece extra money from customers by selling them a "Bumper case" just to try and prevent the signal loss. Effectively they asked for more money to make their very expensive piece of kit work properly rather than took a financial hit themselves and recall the unit.
The bumper case did solve the problem pretty well, especially for Apple, though it wasnt the only problem with the phone, it was, by far, the most embarrassing.

The camera, on release was also a major issue. It ranged from the virtual shutter just shutting and staying shut to an innate ability to make white appear yellow in indoor pictures. Whilst these issues have, seemingly been fixed since the early releases some people have still had issues with the camera in the past few months so just be aware of this if you do fancy getting one. It is also worth noting that the main Camera is just a 5MP one, and this is below what seems to be the standard for top phones at the moment (expect this to be upgraded when the next release is available).

Whilst the phone is a cracking handset that makes full use of a wonderful OS and wonderful hardware the phone is starting to show signs of its age (at last). As mentioned above the main camera is "only" 5MP (with the standard now set at 8MP) as well as just 512MB of RAM (this is on par with devices such as the HTC Wildfire S and the Samsung Galaxy S). If you are fancying getting an iPhone Id strongly advise waiting to see what they are to bring out. The device, although still having a high price tag, wasnt really the leap forward that many had hoped for and whilst it did add a number of nice new features its certainly not the phone that really "Changed everything", it just raised the bar and others have since raised it which is why its showing its age.
