    Is there any sign before a battery explode?

    I have heard about battery in smartphones exploded, but I did not study the details. Now, I am going to replace my battery, but since the model is a bit old, there is no way to replace it with the original battery, so chances are I am probably getting a generic battery or even a counterfeit one...

    How can excel/word file open up faster?

    I don't know. However, from clicking on the file to opening it up completely, it usually takes 5-6 seconds.

    Is it necessary to create a back up before replacing a battery

    After all, life is full of risk. Whether to take risk is sometimes a compromise and personal decision, isn't it? On top of that, my data is important, but it is not really so important that I cannot take risk. I can decide whether to take risk after getting to know how likely someone will make...

    Is it necessary to create a back up before replacing a battery

    One thing I need to emphasize is that I never disagree that one should back up their data! As a matter of fact, the battery of my phone is so bad that it will just go dead in less than one or two minute when not disconnected to the AC outlet, so this battery has practically died, if not...

    Some questions about Instagram

    I understand that as long as I actually visit her profile and I do nothing, instagram (and many other social platforms) will have a record of the fact that I once visited her in their log. But my question is if you think they will suggest me to somebody if I only visit them and DO NOT give like...

    Is it necessary to create a back up before replacing a battery

    Hi all, sorry, I have to bump this thread because I'd like to ask again. Yes... Yes... Yes.. I understand that one should always create a backup. But how likely I will lose some or all of the data during the process of replacing the battery? Is there any one button or wire inside the board...

    Some questions about Instagram

    Does anyone know if I DO NOT follow someone and I DO NOT give "likes" to her post, but I have logged in and kept visiting his/her pages almost every day by searching her ID, without any action. In that case, would the system suggest me to her account in any way? I found the instagram of a girl...

    Could a dirty SIM card cause problem to the smartphone

    I, very foolishly, inserted an old and dirty SIM card into my new smartphone that has been used for less a week. I even found that there was something green (like oxidation) on the surface of the SIM card. I'd like to take this chance to ask if the dust, dirt or debris from the surface of a SIM...
