If you can noot into the os, you can do a factory reset from in the main setting menu. It will either be under ‘storage’, ‘security’ or have its own tab. It seems to move location on each os update.
If you cant get into the os, you can do a reset from what you would call androids bios menu (the boot menu or recovery) . This you get to by turning the device fully off and holding a combation of the buttons for 10 to 20 seconds. Again this combo different from decide to device. The most common is holding power and volume down together.
If this doesn’t work hold power and volume up. Failing this hold power and both volume – and +.
One of them methods should work. If your phone had a physical home button, you may have to do some trail and error holding that if the 3 methods I mentioned above don’t work.
If all else fails then you can fall back and do it via a windows cmd. You’ll need to visit xda forums for a detailed tutorial for that.
If it’s a chi tablet, I’d have to guess the included browser would be the stock AOSP browser named ‘browser’, there is no way to retired lost history.
It’s mist likely as you say the tablet keeps “rebuilding itself” that the cache is being wiped, it’s somthing you needed to do when you flash a rom, to make sure it’s all cleaned out before the new rom is booted. I’d have to presume the tablet is cleaning it’s own cache to try and preserve itself, before rebuild (installing) it’d own os.
So you’ll be right in thinking there is something more going on.
It sounds to me you need a full factory restore, if that doesn’t help, you may need to find the original rom and re flash it. If it’s an obscure tablet, it could be quite a hard process.
Either way I think the history has gone forever. When I you get it up and running or get a new one, install chrome as it automatically saves all history, to your Google cloud, so she can jump on any chrome browser (or os) and simply find what she needs. I’d imagine Firefox and oprea mobile browser do this too, but you’d need to check.
Thanks. I’ve dropped one in my basket. ?
Well Richard, I’m not one to not admit I was wrong. But in this case you are wrong.
Only messing, it seems I’m wrong.
However I’ve just looked up and I’ve never come across a micro type A or a mini type A, I think I may of come across but never known the name of a standard Type B.
As I still haven’t figured out how to embed an image I’ll link to a chart I downloaded.

Ed- yes I knew that I was just feeling to the smaller variants. Wrongly as it turns out. B-)
USB A is a ‘mini USB’ and B is a ‘Micro USB’ . totally different ports, a generation apart,with almost zero ecosystem crossover.
It’s not like USB 2 and 3, that are physically (in looks) the same. And live together in the same ecosystem.
There is only one type of micro USB, But your correct on the power end. 2.4amp will do for most things. The devices themselves will regulate the power they need so always best getting a more powerful power plug . If given the choice, for similar cash get a 3amp, as you’ll get a bit more life out of it.
You are always best getting a separate cable and power brick, as the crappy micro usb conector will always fail, it’s a flawed design. I won’t buy an all in one plug and cable, not that you see them much these days.
Ive found usb C conector to be very dependable. I’m yet to have one fail. I bet mine will fail tonight! Just the fact is reversible puts it above the B standard. With out all the extra data throughput and power capacity, plus more.
For the same reason these aps are open, is the same reasons phishing emails work. Alot of people are simply ignorant to the dangers they put themselves in and just don’t understand tech.
This will only get worse as iot exponentially grows.
Not 360 related, but didn’t think it warranted it’s own thread.
Last night around midnight I was on my way out and I noticed the bates hunting around a street lamp. So thought I’d try and shoot them at 240fps slow mo. Given shooting like this you loose alot of light I didn’t think the phone would have a chance, but I was quite pleased at what it picked up.
Given its 240fps, the 20 second (real time) video is much longer. There is two bat’s, one at the beginning and one at the end. So scrub through the middle.
Dave, the ciggies 12v is dependent on the adapter. I got a 3amp one (anker) a while back and it chargers very fast. You can even now get fast charger ones that will cram the charge in.
But tbh the 3amp 12v will charge my Pixel in about an hour, up to 80%, like most phones now the last 20% it turned to trickle/slower gentler charge.
You can’t go wrong with anker charger and battery related stuff. For years they build for other brands, I can only assume in a few years time once they have a solid brand, their prices will be twice what they have been the last two years. Their stuff is excellent.
John can only assume your tablet is a micro usb, micro usb is a standard size, but not all micro usb cables are made equal, buy a reputable make.
Richard- as I just said, there is only one micro usb. There are many smaller usb types, but only one micro. The other is mini usb, and usb C. Mini USB never took off in the phone/tablet market, the only one I seen was the original android phone, the G1, after that evey android device had the micro usb, untill the last few years when the higher end started the adoption of usb C, which is fan-bloody-tactic.
Cheaper electronics adopted mini USB, and the PS3 controllers used mini USB for charging/data, mail cos micro usb wasn’t really a thing around R&D of the PS3. Probably the same reason the G1 used it. That was 2008.
GlassWire for android. Like the windows version it monitors all the data coming in and out of your device. It’s real Interesting seeing what apps are calling home when not in use and how often.
Probably more to the app, but I’ve not really dove in yet.
Also it seems very accurate, and free.
Is there any other way to manage cables? :unsure:
<i>You don’t need permission to publish it on yt, and yt won’t do anything unless someone makes a copy right claim on the video or the song in the video. </i>
In that case you won’t get in financial trouble, the video will just be taken down by yt untill you either challenge the takedown or admit defeat and leave it be.
Eds idea seems Intresting. And if your just doing it out of public intrest, I’d go down that route. You’d know you don’t your bit for humanity, and then keep a copy for your own private entertainment in one of the services I named above.
As long as you don’t make it public I can’t see it being an issue.
You can also upload videos to goole photos, that is probably the place where Google would want you to put personal stuff. But as long as you don’t make the yt video public it should be fine.
But I’d keep a back up or two in in separate hdds just incase. Or upload one copy to Mega.com you get 50fb free, also one to GDrive (which is where your Gphoto video would live).
Given they are old vcr recordings, you won’t need to create huge files, the pictures will be bad anyhow, so you’ll just need the bit rate high enough to retreat the original video audio, so your files should be small. Both Google drive and Mega should be fine.
I’d use Mega as an emergency back up only.
You also have Microsoft sky drive. Nether MS or Google are going anywhere anytime soon, and if they are you’ll get plenty of notice. Not to sure about mega, and it’s shady past. (kim dotcom)
It’s not as simple as getting your freind to lock her fb profile down bob. You can have is as tight as a duck yoohoo, and it will make zero diffence.
Plus the main couple it tries days is your phones contacts, you can’t lock that down. If a freind had your info in her phone contacts, the moment she installs any app that wants to be ‘helpful’ and you accept, the majority do accept, your info along with everyones elses info from within the digital contact list, is read by the app.
So unless you 100% Trust the person you give your info to, to be analy vigilant about digital privacy and how it all works, your info will get out. Today the only way to not let your phone number and email out is to never use them, ever. Which makes having one redundant
So we have to give our numbers out, at the very least call people, which gives them your number. Or email them which give them your email address, or even write to them that gives them your physical address. If they save that info, it is 100% going to leak.
It’s an Internet issue, there is zero way around it. You just have to manage it. That is where the likes of true caller come in. Or I hate to say this where Facebook messenger comes in, you can set that to only accept messages and calls from people your friends with. So the person has to ask you to be freinds before they can contact you.
I actually love this, as it gives the recipient the power back, your basically pro actively creating a white list, in stead of being re active trying to play whak-a-mole via setting up black lists.
On FB people can contact you, but unless they are “friends” there msg get filed away and you don’t see them.
Both traditional phone calls and email is broken, all the power is with the sender, with the Facebook way the power is with the recipient. It is the way forward. I just wish it wasn’t with FB. But Mark my words in 10 years FB will be the biggest communication network in the world. A yellow pages of tomorrow. All without needed in to lay a single phone line. They will dominate the industry, and the carriers are terrified of them
John, in the states I heard of people buying antibiotics from pet shops as it’s much easily available and cheap.
I could imagine most meds candidates be used by both. But as long as the medicine isn’t one a dog can’t use (ie poisons to the),and there existed a dog one, a small human does is never going to harm it. Not that I have ever tried.
Well expect for medicated shampoo, the dog got a rash on his leg a few years ago, we tried savalon, but it seems dogs like the taste, so we took him the vets. Straits no neither needles etc, and an expensive bottle of shampoo. When we got home it was just like the expensive, but quaternary of the price coaltar shampoo the wife uses. So when the tiny expensive bottle ran out we used the wife’s stuff. That did clear the rash up.
BL I forgot to mention in my initial post, the story in the pay paper said greater London and 2 others (a tally didn’t state the others, Liverpool echo for you) did enforce this, but the majority of the country doesn’t.
That’s not an android issue, but a text scam issue. Or rather a phishing text, like a phishing email. You’ll get them on any device, android, iPhone or old flip phones.
Now the question is how did such a company get the number, you have no way of knowing that, or anyway to find out. As on path android ios and even Windows, plus most services like Facebook, g+ and Instagram and a million others, you don’t have of your own phone number.
Eg-If I had you in my contacts, your address, phone number and email, I install face book, face book will ask, “would you like me to see who in your contacts also uses this servise”, most people will say yes. At this point Facebook farms all that data.
I used Fb, and given there size they now will be tightly regulated and watched, but the 1000s of other smaller servise, you don’t know what they do with thst info. This isn’t an android thing, it’s a modern Internet thing. You have no control over your privacy, if you give info to people, it will get out, no matter how well you secure your own pc and phones,and how prudent you are with permissions.
It makes me laugh when people say Im not giving Fb my info. Trust me they have it of 10s of your friends.
To minimise spam calls and text, on both android and ios, Install ‘True caller’ and ‘true messenger’ and it will filter most spam calls and messages out.
Wow John that’s expensive insurance. I got my dog insured from birth on a lifetime policy through John Lewis of all places, for £21 pm for the pair. With a low excess and a high cover amount. Can’t recall what amount now, but it wasn’t the cheapest insurance, as I wanted decent amount covered.
Insurance is a con, as I’d imaging even an old dog has been insured its whole life (on the whole), and just because your starting a fresh you get stung for an insane amount.
My £10pm (per dog) will cost about £1700 over 14years. So £60 pm will cost over £2k for 3 years. Given most that dog would of generated probably £1500 up to this point of its life, just shows Inc is a con.
But like car Inc they know we must have it. We’ll most normal folk must have pet Inc. My tortoise isn’t insured, I wonder if I should into that. He is 14 currently, and has never had as much as a cold.
This pavement issue has been in the news lately, there is a law already in place, but nowhere in forces it.
Not even traffic wardens. I’m not sure they can. They will only ticket cars that are parked on payments that have double yellows on it or a cycle path. I know this as evey time we go to the hospital, there are lots of cars outside it with tickets for parking on the oppersite side of a payment on grass, not blocking anything I asked the warden one day why he was ticketing them, and it was because of the bike path.
In the case talk about I disagree completly but overall parking on payments I find annoying in most respects. Though at the bottom of my hill the only place to park is on the payment, but it’s 4 cars wide. The road is a single lane.
So the whole parking on the payment has many Grey areas. Though I have seen i the paper that in Liverpool city, people dumping cars on high street payments. To me I can’t comprehend why that would ever enter your mind to do. It’s just disrespectful. Tho smart cars parked nose in to the kerb also annoys me, as 1. There car, as short as it is, it’s far longer than a normal car width. And 2. When you park up to a kerb, your car bumpers encroach onto the path. They think it’s cool and quirky, I’d ticket them.
No need for an av on android if you only use the playstore. Android has its own AV system built in, and all the 3rd party AVs relay on the rouge library that android gives out. So the 3rd party av is always behind the android one.
Also you can’t turn the android one off, so your just burning battery life.
Now if the av has other features, then maybe it may be worth wile to the user, but still Id figure out what the feature was I wanted, and go and get an app that concentrates on doing that one task to the best of its abilites.
If this is trully the cpu, it is officially the first faulty one I’ve heard of in over a decade. It’s never the cpu.
Many Anne suspected, including me, it turned our that the ram, would work, but was on the incompatibility list, (or was about to be) , so errors cropped up time to time, then one day I couldn’t boot windows (vista).
I’d bought half my stuff from ccl online and the rest from other sources. Ccl took all my pc and tested it for about a week, and sent me back a working pc with ram costing almost twice the price for my inconvenience.
Now I still shop there, and am happy to pay a little more, and I send family members there. I’ve bought I think 5 or 6 tvs of them since. Plus my full i7 system.
You find out the metal of a company, only when you get an issue.
