PhonesRe: My Battery Problem by MarkWayne89: 9:51am On Mar 28, 2018
Did you restart your phone?

First, try to restart it and if the issue still continues, let it play a video until it runs out of battery and turns off by itself.

In this way, you know if you need to start and power on the screen again.

Also, try installing a battery usage monitor app so you can check in real time how your battery is used.
PhonesHow To Fix Instagram Videos Not Uploading? by MarkWayne89(op): 9:42am On Mar 27, 2018
If you have checked the problems below and you don’t seem to have any of them, but your video is still not uploading, there are a few things you can try in order to fix this.


Relaunch the app
Simple as that. Close the app, then open it again and try uploading the video.

Clear the app’s cache

Instagram takes a lot of cache memory. Go to Settings > Apps > Instagram and tap on it. Look for the Clear Cache option and tap on it.

Update your app
Make sure that you have the latest Instagram version on your phone. Go to Google Play and see if it’s up to date.

Charge your phone
Some users say that this problem appears when the phone has a very low battery. Try putting the phone on charge and see if the problem persists.

Restart your phone
If any of these fail, a simple phone reboot can actually be the solution.


Usually, when such problems occur, Instagram announces the problem on social media. Check their accounts and see if there’s something like that actually causing your problem.

PhonesHow To Change The Font Style On Your Iphone by MarkWayne89(op): 12:47pm On Mar 26, 2018
For those of you that like or use iPhones as their smartphone.

By default, most phones have a pretty common user interface. When it comes to iPhones, the customization possibilities are somehow limited. But there are a few things you can still do, in order to add a personal touch.

How to change the font on iPhone by tweaking the Settings

Out of the box, an iPhone offers little options when it comes to changing the font. Still, you can make it look a bit different. Follow the instructions below and you will be able to change the look of the text on the phone:

1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness. This menu will show a few display options, including the text size. Tap on the latter
2. You should see a slide, which can be dragged to either left or right, in order to increase or decrease the size of the font
3. After adjusting it according to your preferences, you can return to the Display & Brightness menu, in order to save your changes. They should be visible immediately.
4. Unde Text Size, you should see the Bold Text option as well. Toggle it if you want thicker letters.
5. Go back to the main Settings menu > Accessibility > Larger Text. Tapping this will open a screen similar to the Text Size menu, where you can enable Larger Accessibility Sizes.
6. Using the slider, choose additional size options. This will apply just to apps that enable Dynamic Type and also allow the larger Accessibility sizes, so you won’t see it everywhere.

PhonesHow To Transfer Music From A Computer To An Android’s SD Card by MarkWayne89(op): 10:51am On Mar 23, 2018
If you’re a novice yourself or simply want to find out if you’re doing it correctly, these are the steps you need to follow for this process:

Step 1: Remove the SD card from your Android device
In order to avoid any problems, you actually need to unmount your card before removing it from its slot. Go to Settings > Storage and look for the Unmount SD card option, then tap on it.

A message will pop-up, warning you that some of the apps you are using may be unavailable until you remount the card. Tap OK. The card will unmount and you will see a notification saying “SD card safe to remove”. You can now proceed and remove it from its slot as well.

Step 2: Insert the SD card into your PC’s card reader
In a few moments, your PC will detect the microSD card and you can open it to transfer music. If your PC doesn’t have a reader, you can always buy an external one. Usually, it looks similar to a flash USB drive and you insert it in one of the PCs ports.

Step 3: Open the SD card’s directory and copy the desired music files
Basically, this is the step where you transfer music from a computer to an Android’s SD card. Copy all the files you want onto the microSD card, either by drag and drop or copy/paste. Wait until all files are transferred.

Note: Make sure you transfer only files that are compatible with your phone. Stick to MP3 or MP4, in most cases.

Step 4: Remove the SD card from your PC
Go to the PC’s system tray (those icons in the bottom right corner, alongside the clock) and click on the small white arrow. You should see the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media button. Click on it, in order to stop the microSD card, then remove it from the card reader.

It’s very important to stop the microSD card before removing it from your PC, as this makes sure that the transferring of the files was done correctly.

Step 5: Insert the SD card back in your phone
Remove the phone’s tray, using the special tool, if you have a phone with a tray for both the SIM and the microSD card. Put the card back in your phone and, using either your default music player app or the file explorer, check out the music files you just transferred.

PhonesAndroid Supersu Vs Superuser: What’s The Difference? by MarkWayne89(op): 11:07am On Mar 22, 2018
If you’re an Android power user, you must have experienced with rooting until now and are definitely familiar with these two root managing apps. The sides are split, with arguments in favor and against both apps, but there’s still no answer to the big question.

Keeping it short, after rooting an Android phone, every installed app will ask for root privilege whenever it’s needed, so you will need a tool which manages root access permissions for all the apps, in order to protect the phone’s safety and privacy. After all, you don’t want to end up with any malware on your device, right?

In most cases, this management app it’s either SuperSu or Superuser, but there has been a long debate among users on which one of them does the job better. Well, let’s see what each of them can do.

SuperSU vs Superuser – Which one is the best?
After testing both apps on the same rooted device, it was obvious that SuperSU is the better choice. It has a superior root command compatibility, not to mention that it never failed to give root access to an app, unlike Superuser.
