How to fix a water damaged phone in 5 easy steps!!

What not to do

  • Do not turn it on
  • Do not press any buttons or keys
  • Do not shake, tap or bang the phone
  • Do not blow on it. This could send water into other internal parts of the phone that it hadn't already reached, causing more damage in the process
  • Do not heat it up (that includes using a blow dryer or microwaving it) 

    5 steps to saving your water damaged phone

    1. Turn it off if, it isn’t already and hold it upright.
    2. Remove any protective casing and, if your phone has them, remove your SIM and microSD cards from their slots.
    3. Open up the back and remove the battery, SIM card(s) and microSD card if you are able to (note that this won't be possible with all phone models).
  • 4. Use a cloth, sleeve or paper towel to dab your phone dry. Avoid spreading the liquid around, because that could push it into more of the phone's openings. Just soak up as much as possible.
  • 5.If the water damage is more extensive, you can use a vacuum to carefully suck out water stuck from the cracks that are harder to get at. Make sure any small parts, such as the microSD card, SIM card, or battery, are out of the way before attempting this.

How to turn your smartphone into an Android Go device!!

Android Go is Google's latest venture to provide a smooth operating system to smartphones that are equipped with cheaper hardware. It's the successor to Android One, and is trying to succeed where its predecessor failed. More and more Android Go devices have recently been introduced in various markets around the globe, and now you can get Android Go installed on pretty much any device that currently runs on Android.  This is a patch that turns on low RAM mode on your Android, the low-RAM Property Patcher, which makes more RAM available so that the system becomes more fluid. In addition, the Play Store recognizes your Android as the Go version and offers apps like YouTube, Gboard and others in lighter versions. You can download some of the Android Go apps directly from the Play Store. I applied the patch on my smartphone, a Moto G3 that has 1 GB of RAM, and the system started out consuming only 390 MB, which leaves you with a greater amount of RAM. This enables the system...

OnePlus 7 Pro Review : The flagship OnePlus

I will not bore you with all those technical specifications, you are smart enough to do that on the internet. I will straight away let you know the pros and the cons of this device that I honestly felt without any fancy technical terms. So let us start with the PROS: Starting with the screen you get a massive super smooth AMOLED screen. The stereo speakers with the Dolby Atmos sound terrific. The inbuilt fingerprint sensor is the fastest I have seen till date, it is damn responsive and unlocks the device super fast. The design and build quality are great. It has a neat pop-up camera that takes fantastic photos. The gaming experience was impressive, games like Pubg ran smoothly without any lag. Enough of the cons now lemme tell u the downside of this device i.e the CONS: The most disappointing thing is that it misses out the headphone jack. It is not at all affordable one plus phone. The nightscape mode is not as impressive as the competition. The device is heavy...
