PhonesRe: Android, Anyone? Part II by MarkWayne89: 12:21pm On May 28, 2018
dolpaz:
Hello guys.. My Samsung s6 (not edge) just suddenly went blank. Only the hot keys and notification light could be visible. I tried all button with power, home and volume button but nothing seems to happen. I took it to an engineer and he said its the screen. Just like that?? I'm really sad now and I need help. Please who has a Samsung s6 part that can sell the screen for me. I am within a budget. Someone should come to my aid please. I can be reached on whatsapp: 08038048945
Thanks
If you haven't found a replacement screen to your broke S6 yet, you can actually mirror the display of your broken S6 using a mirror app and some cable so you can at least get whatever it is you need on your S6. This blog might be helpful for you. https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/mirror-android-screen-pc-no-time/

Buy Cat S60.
Very expensive
I agree with this. Saw a commercial for the Cat S60 and they had a bulldozer run over this phone and it still works. It will cost you an arm and a leg though.

You can actually unlock a Samsung S9 by getting an unlocking code. There's plenty of resources online but there's a risk in screwing up your phone. Take a look at www.unlockunit.com. I've tried their service and it works well.

please if it’s verizon u are calling factory unlocked please check well because if that phone is under Verizon locked policy ..u won’t be able to activate..a Seller tried to sell me a sealed iPhone 8 Plus Verizon and factory unlocked ...I had to request the imei and ran a paid check on it and did is is what I got so please run a paid check on the imei before buying...if it is under Verizon locked policy the only way to unlock it is if he activates it with a Verizon sim first before it can unlock anything asides that ..it can be unlocked here ..it is usually 50- 80 percent chance
I agree with this. Once you have the IMEI checked, you can look into https://www.unlockunit.com/brand to get it unlocked.
PhonesRe: Help: How To Unlocking An Iphone 5s by MarkWayne89: 9:34am On May 22, 2018
Buying an iphone that is IC locked is pretty useless. There's a good chance that the iphone device is stolen or have gone missing since an IC locked phone means it's been locked through iCloud. I suggest you get a network locked phone instead, and once you have that you can look at https://www.unlockunit.com/ and have it unlocked from them.

I always turn it off because there is no point of having a fancy display that eat up too much battery and doesn't provide any real benefit.

PhonesHow To Spot A Fake Samsung Galaxy S8 by MarkWayne89(op): 9:27am On May 08, 2018
I see that not many smartphone users know how to spot a fake Samsung Galaxy S8, so here's a short guide on what to look for when buying a used Galaxy S8 and avoid fake ones:

1. The price- if it's cheap, try to understand why.
2. Check the box
3. Check the accessories you get in the box
4. Check the USB port (Samsung Galaxy S8 has a USB Type-C port)
5. Check the rear camera setup
6. Look for the Bixby button
7. Check the Android version (must be Android 7.0 or higher)

ItsJonathan:
VPN are scams. Go to whose.net and you’d see your anonymity isn’t 100%. Rather buy and use socks
No VPN can guarantee 100% anonymity. But you need to understand what a VPN can do and can't before using it.

PhonesRe: Pls Guys,need Ur Help In Tracking My Stolen Phn by MarkWayne89: 9:46am On May 07, 2018
I would add these steps as a must-do when you lost (or get your phone stolen):

1. Check your phone's last known position, if it's an Android, check https://www.google.com/android/find

2. Report your phone's IMEI so nobody could use it by using a service like this one http://imeipro.info/report-stolen-lost-phone.html

I think these are the required steps you need to take. The guide is here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-find-a-lost-phone-instantly/

PhonesRe: Your Experience With Buying A Used Phone by MarkWayne89: 10:32am On May 03, 2018
I bought two used phones until now. And I want to mention a couple of things you should always check if the used phone is worth buying:

1. Check if the IMEI is clean (and not Blacklisted - reported lost or stolen) by using a free service like: http://imeipro.info

2. Check if the phone is unlocked and you can use it with your SIM card - just insert your SIM card and try to place a phone call (this is the simplest and the surest way of checking)

3. Make sure the phone is NOT from a CDMA network - because CDMA phones won't work with other networks, they are built usually for one network only - here' a list of CDMA networks: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/cdma-networks

PhonesHow To Enable USB Debugging With A Broken Screen by MarkWayne89(op): 10:30am On May 02, 2018
No matter how careful you are when using your phone, it can still happen. Yes, we’re talking about that horrible moment when you drop your phone and you end up with a shattered screen. If you’re lucky enough, the touchscreen still works, as just the glass covering it is broken, but there are users who can’t use the phone at all.

Presuming that you know your way through the phone’s menu, these are the paths you need to follow, depending on your Android version, in order to enable USB debugging with a broken screen:

Android 2.0 to 2.3.x: Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

Android 3.0 to 4.1.x: Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging

Android 4.2.x and higher: Starting with this version, the USB Debugging menu is hidden, so you need to enable it first. Follow these steps: Settings > About phone/tablet > Build Number. When you reach the Build Number, click on it seven times, in order to enable the Developer Options sub-menu. Go back to the Settings menu and you should find Developer Options, just above About Phone. Enter Developer Options and check the USB Debugging option

Android 5.0: Same procedure as for the previous version

Android 6.0 and higher:
Same procedure as for the previous version

Note: Always disable USB debugging after using it, as enabling it grants high-level access to the phone. In this case, if you’re not planning to use the phone with the broken screen again or sell it, you can leave it enabled though, since it doesn’t matter that much.

PhonesRe: Three Hidden Features You Never Knew Existed On The Iphone by MarkWayne89: 9:03am On Apr 30, 2018
askifa1:
There’s a Spirit Level Tool within the Compass

Certainly, you have not realized that iOS has an extra built-in app hidden within the compass. If you launch the compass, swipe left and you’ll find a spirit level tool. A spirit level is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal or vertical. It is commonly known as plum and used on site by construction workers. Though the iPhone may not be as precise as the tool itself, but it is very useful. You can either use the spirit level with your phone laid out flat or with it balanced on its side in either portrait or landscape mode. By tapping the screen, the difference between two surfaces is indicated by how much the two angles vary.
The spirit level is quite handy! Thanks
