    How do I remove Virgin/Bell Bloatware?

    I just switched from Virgin Mobile to Freedom on my Samsung Galaxy S10, and I cannot get rid of the apps that were installed with Virgin, even after I reset the phone to factory settings. I cannot uninstall them AT ALL; I can only "disable" them. They just won't get away! It's driving me mad...

    Recommended multiplayer game with little/no grind?

    I have a buddy on PSN and GOG who is tired of grinding in Warframe. I'm not a fan of grinding, either. Neither of us wants to pay a PS Plus (or any other) subscription just so that we could play with each other, and I play mostly single-player games on PS4. So, I'm looking for a game that we can...

    Recommended wireless ear buds?

    I'm in the market for wireless earbuds. I'm looking for ones that have Bluetooth 5.0, are not easy to slip out, and are a good value (i.e. less priced than AirPods). Bonus points for ear clips, touch controls, water-proof, slim charging case, and easy-pairing. There are quite a lot of them on...

    Recommended charging cable?

    My last daily driver was a OnePlus 3. I've had this phone for about 3 years, since it first released. It served me well until the summer of last year, when the front panel started coming off. I went into a phone repair shop, only for them to tell me that "OnePlus phones are not repairable" and...

    Recommended Tablet for Manga

    I just made friends with other otakus in town and now I'm interested in reading manga, again. (Until now, I've just been watching anime) I have an iPad 2 updated to iOS 9.3 and the old thing is just not good for web browsing (and a few other things), anymore. I also have an Alldocube Mix Plus...

    Any good am3+ gaming boards left?

    I bought my gaming PC pre-built back in 2015. It came with an msi 760GMA-P34 (FX) motherboard, which was advertised as "Military Grade II". While I was able to use it just fine for high-end PC gaming, there are a few things that I'm not too happy with. First is the on-board audio. Audio coming...

    Should I switch to YouTube Premium?

    I've had a Spotify premium membership for a few years, already, and already I've built a sizable music library (mostly of trance music). I started with a 3-month discounted price of just $1 or so, and I liked the service that I kept subscribing to it. I like most of the selection of music and...

    Screen started coming off

    I was in an appointment one day and while I was waiting I found out that my OnePlus 3 phone has the front panel popping out. I wanted to fix it, I mean I've had it for only 2 years and it still works really well. I read somewhere that I need a special glue to glue the front panel back on. There...

    North American Shenzhen?

    I've seen YouTube videos of serpentza walking into shopping centers in Shenzhen that sell all sorts of tech. I've also seen a video of Linus and Spare Parts building a PC using parts bought from vendors in Shenzhen. Being a sort of techie myself, I want to visit Shenzhen to go tech shopping! Of...

    What happened to the 3D globe version of Google Maps?

    I remember using Google Maps in a web browser in my cheap NUC, Google Maps was in full 3D! That is, if you zoom out, it turned the maps into a globe. Go into Satellite view and you have the 3D Satellite view from Google Maps before. It was sluggish in my cheap NUC, of course, so I switched over...

    Unsupported SODIMM?

    I got an affordable Intel NUC. I had some DDR3L memory modules lying around, which I bought for another mini PC which didn't boot up at all with either set. I installed either set in the NUC and it booted successfully, only with the message "Unsupported 1GB / 2GB density SODIMM(s) detected on...

    Sinus-clearing clip?

    I used to be "addicted" to Afrin and now the doctor ordered me to stop and use Apohistamine (sp?) once every day. He said the medicine will actually take effect in 5 days. Now, it hasn't even been 5 days and getting off Afrin is killing me! I can't sleep at night because of the congestion. And...

    Linux-based OS for Intel Atom tablets?

    I have a CHUWI Hi8 Pro tablet with Windows 10. When I bought it, it had a dual-boot configuration with both Windows 10 and Android, but removed the Android part so that I have all 32GB of eMMC storage for Windows 10. Now that I have another, better Windows 10 tablet, the ALLDOCUBE Mix Plus, I'm...

    How do poor, unhealthy people live in the US?

    We have no medical bills here in Canada. That is, it is paid for only by taxation, which is one of the reasons we pay higher taxes and higher prices for goods here than in the US. It is also the reason why lines are longer for emergency health care, and why we sometimes go down south of the...

    No shanty towns in temperate countries

    Last year, I was in the Philippines and I saw shanty towns pretty much everywhere, not just in Metro Manila and other big cities but also on the outskirts; when I was going to the beach south of Batangas, I saw quite a few just off the highway! But here in Canada, we don't have any shanty...

    Can I freely cross this border?

    I've learned that Canada and the US have the world's longest undefended border. Unlike the one between the US and Mexico. That's great news, right? I live in Western Canada, specifically south-western BC, and I am curious about something: can I simply walk across the border without having...

    Recommended tablet for me?

    I have an iPad 2 from 2011, which served me well up until about 2 years ago, when it started to slow down and crashed apps. Before the start of the new year, Apple admitted they were slowing down old iOS devices with later updates to conserve battery consumption, and I was ticked off. So, I...

    Stutter with USB Type-C to HDMI adapter

    I have a Cube Mix Plus and an Anble 5-port type-C adapter. I plugged my Cube Mix Plus into my computer monitor via the Anble and HDMI, expecting it to work properly due to the mostly good reviews on Amazon. Everything works except for the HDMI; the screen is stuttering! I can't live with that...

    Recommended budget laptop for Linux?

    I'm looking for a budget laptop/netbook ($200 or less) which I can install Ubuntu or Linux Mint into with all of the hardware working. I tried to install Linux in a cheap mini-pc and a tablet, and not everything was working: bluetooth, wifi, touch screen, and even video playback were not...

    Android TV box with Component video output?

    I have a TV hooked up to a 6-input, 2-output component (green/blue/red) video/audio selector that I bought years ago, and it is connected to my cable box, PS3, and Wii U. The 3 HDMI inputs on my TV are currently occupied by my PS4 and Nintendo Switch. I could use my current HDMI selector, but...

    Accessories Plug-and-play Wifi adapter for Linux?

    I have a desktop computer in one room that runs Linux Mint 18 "Sarah", and the room is usually a 2.4GHz Wifi dead zone; I occasionally get dropouts. I plugged in a cheapo Chinese Wifi adapter, it was able to find my home's 2.4GHz Wifi network (I have a dual-band router) with decent strength, but...

    Help Recommended Specs for Youtube 1080p? 4K?

    I wanted to use my ainol mini-PC instead of my desktop tower for the significantly lower power consumption. I've installed Android-x86 and Xubuntu in it. When I played a Youtube video, 1080p playback is not smooth, and even if I lowered the resolution to 480p, it skips. Also, the videos look...

    Universal Power Strips

    When I was in the Philippines, I saw power strips in the brick-and-mortar stores which sell power strips that accept more than one type of power plug. But I couldn't find any in stores back here in Canada. Why is that? Lower voltage? Does anybody here in Android Forums from other countries...

    update-grub for Android-x86

    I've got Android-x86 and Xubuntu working decently on my Ainol mini PC. It is a "mini PC" with an Intel Z3735F processor and is compatible only with 32-bit EFI. I have the GRUB boot menu installed from Android-x86 and starting up before Android, and I've installed Xubuntu 16.04 alongside it, but...

    Help Harware drivers for android-x86?

    I installed Android-x86 6.0-rc1 on my ainol mini PC. For some reason, I was unable to get it to use 29-32GB of the internal storage, and I'm limited to just 3 GB, but I can plug in a USB drive and use that as internal storage, instead, though I'd prefer the former. The mini PC does have a micro...
