What to do if the screen of your Android phone breaks – CNET in Spanish
What to do if the screen of your Android phone breaks – CNET in Spanish
Many Android phones are more durable than the iPhone, but that does not mean they are immune to damage. the screens are made of glass, and of course, when the glass falls breaks.
If you have dropped your Android phone now for the umpteenth time, possibly you have a beautiful web running through your screen. If you do not have insurance to pay every month, here are some options to fix that screen.
contact the manufacturer
If your Android device is relatively new and still has the manufacturer’s warranty, the first place you should contact is the manufacturer. the price to fix the broken screen depends on the device. Fix screen Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, for example, could cost up to US $ 270 plus one or two days without being able to use your phone. If you go to the manufacturer, it would be more expensive to use a repair shop of a third party, but not void your warranty and you cell would be fully restored, possibly even being replaced by a fully restored unit, recovering the appearance it had before the incident. In addition, phones like the Galaxy S7 Edge maintain its waterproof nature.
The owners of a Samsung device should consider buying the Samsung Protection Plus warranty – which is like Apple Care, but for Galaxy phones. The Samsung Protection Plus is an extended warranty available for all cell high-end and covers everything from mechanical problems to accidental damage (eg a broken screen). Costs between $ 99 and US $ 120 for a protection of two years, and during those years you are entitled to make two claims for damages each year, paying a deductible of US $ 79 per incident. Replace a broken a Galaxy S7 screen will cost US $ 208.
Find someone else will fix it
If your Android device it is old, ie, no longer under warranty, or a less popular model, you may save you money if you take it to a shop not affiliated with the manufacturer to get it fixed.
I called some stores in Los Angeles and got estimated between US $ 100 to US $ 250 to replace the screen of a Samsung Galaxy S5?
There are some benefits -. addition to the price – to use the repair service a third party. If you go to a local repair shop, they could fix your cell quickly (eg in less than an hour and one of the shops in Los Angeles even offered to come to my house to repair it). This means you will not be without a phone for long. Also, many repair shops others offer a warranty on the parts they replace, which means you can re-call to fix your screen if for any reason stops working (unless if your fault broke again).
Eye, not all repair shops third parties are the same, then you have to ensure them these questions before handing over your device:
- How much will it cost
- How long will the repair?
- What kind of warranty do you offer? (Parts and service only? Limited or lifetime?)
Using a third party service for repair broken screen void manufacturer’s warranty then if your phone is new, it is best to first try to get the estimated manufacturer. Some of the new phones, like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, are very difficult to repair, so maybe you find that the manufacturer offers a better price than any offer from a third party.
Leave it as it is
Assuming the rotating your device screen does not interfere drastically with your ability to use the phone or make your fingers bleed, you might decide to stay with the phone in his condition until he could buy a new one.
That said, for it will last as long as possible, I suggest you buy a strong cover and shockproof because any fall will cause more damage. If the crack on the screen through an area that you usually use a lot, you should consider buy a screen protector to protect your fingers from cuts, and of course, protect the screen from further damage.

What if Google Was There 100 Years Ago
What if Google Was There 100 Years Ago
A couple of weeks back there was wide coverage of the Nelson Mandela digital Museum. The overall tone was that it was a good thing although there were some of the opinion that the whole coverage on Nelson Mandela was disproportionate given the immense contribution of other apartheid struggle icons like Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu and Chris Hani. However, the whole digitizing project got me thinking.
Suppose Google was there 100 years ago, assuming Nelson Mandela was going to use it just imagine the possibilities. If Nelson Mandela had used Google we might be able now to go through his Gmail emails and see how he communicated and planned the anti-apartheid movements. Suppose he used Google Docs, to create and backup his documents just imagine the wealth of information that will be at the fingertips of historians and political scientists alike. Granted, some of his letters and documents have survived and are stored somewhere safe but I bet that you need to fill in a thousand and one forms before you are allowed access to them, if at all. Suppose, Mandela used Picasa (Yeh yeh Google we know it’s no longer called Picasa now but who cares anyway) and he stored all his pictures there. Today we could have an invaluable cache of visual insight into a man whom the world has come to revere. They say a picture is worth more than a thousand words and I am convinced that say a lot about how such a photo collection will be invaluable today.
We have email in our digital lives but IM exists for a reason. It’s our digital voice. It’s the voice that we use for that close to use while we relegate email to more important issues like letters to the boss. IM is the tool we use for those close to use because we speak and we are assured of a prompt response, which is what we lesser folks call conversation. Therefore if Google was there 100 years ago we would move beyond the Nelson Mandela that the world knows to Nelson Mandela, the man, with all his strengths and imperfections unaltered. We could get to know the truth behind the rumours of that illegitimate child whispered in dark corners. We could have known all the details surrounding his eventual divorce to Winnie Mandela. Most importantly, we could get to the bottom of the circumstances of how he came to marry Graca Machel whose husband was alleged to have been killed by the South African apartheid regime. How did they meet? Were the feelings there when both were still married to their respective spouses? Or did they take advantage of the situation when their respective spouses were conveniently out of the way? Personally, I would have loved to know a whole lot more about the acrimonious spat Nelson Mandela had with Robert Mugabe over the DRC crisis when the latter was head of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security.
But I am digressing. If Google was here 100 years ago I would like to believe other 21st luminaries and villains alike would have used it. Imagine having access to the Google credential of the likes of Albert Einstein, Idi Amin, Martin Luther King, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong. Now the works of those gentleman, their papers, private letters, photos and other literary effects are locked in museums only accessible physically and if you travel to wherever they are kept. I know Google is resourceful but I don’t think all those works will be digitized in our generation. As a PhD student using personal documents donated to my university by one generous gentleman for my primary research, I know how valuable it is to access the notes and papers of influential people.
Maybe its not too late after all for Google to salvage something. It’s within Googles power to make Barack Obamas notes and papers accessible to future generations so they can learn how difficult and different it is to be the first US black president. It is possible that, after convincing the right and select people, future generations won’t have to lament ‘if only Google was there 100years ago’ as they would have access to digital notes and papers of influential people which we don’t and might not have access to now.

What to do if wifi doesnt work on android
What to do if wifi doesnt work on android
1. The basics: Airplane mode and system reboot
Never overlook the simple solutions. Often we look for complicated, geeky methods, but if the Wi-Fi does not work, one of the classic remedies might provide the cure. First you should deactivate and reactivate the connection. Open theQuick settings menu with a swipe-down gesture from the top of the screen and select the Wi-Fi icon to disable it. If the drop-down menu does not offer this icon, open the app drawer, head to Settings and open it from there.
Do the same with your home router: turn it off and, after at least two minutes, switch it on again. Another simple solution is to turn Airplane mode on for a few seconds, turn it off and check your connection again.
In the event that your Wi-Fi connection continues to cause trouble, try restarting your device. If the problem has occurred after an update to Android Lollipop, try restarting your smartphone in safe mode:
> Press the power button
> From the on-screen options, hold down the Power off option for a few seconds
> Select OK when asked if you want to reboot to safe mode.
> Once in safe mode, restart your device normally
2. Wi-Fi disconnects on its own
The most obvious reason is that you have not enabled the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep option. This setting automatically disconnects your device from the Wi-Fi network to save battery.
> To change this, follow these steps:
> Go to the Settings menu
> Select Wi-Fi, press the trio of dots at the top right of the screen, and press Advanced
> Press Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
> Select Yes / Always to enjoy seamless connectivity
3. How to access an ad-hoc or hidden network
There are two things that restrict automatic access to a network: the network to which you want to connect belongs to specific type or the network is hidden for security reasons.
Regarding the first problem, most Android phones are not configured to work on ad-hoc networks. But the kind folks over in the XDA developers forum managed to create a patch to bypass this limitation. With the patch wpa_supplicant file, you can connect to these types of networks.
Warning: This solution from the XDA Developers forum is intended for for advanced users only; we at AndroidPIT will not be held liable in the event of damage to your device.
If the problem is related to a hidden network, you can try to add it manually. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Add network. Enter the SSID and the correct password, and you can once again surf the web and respond to your WhatsApp messages.
4. Problems acquiring an IP address? Think WiFi Fixer! Wifi Fixer
Do you have problems with IP acquisition? Are you trapped in the clutches of an infinite loop during the authentication process? Sometimes the Wi-Fi does not work because it fails to carry out this process. If your Android is not able to connect to a network, first reboot the router. If the problem persists, carry out a factory reset.
Does this seem like a drastic solution to the problem? Indeed it is, but thankfully there is another solution, before you go the hard way: you can visit the Google Play Store and download WiFi Fixer (assuming you have mobile data). Download > Wifi Fixer
The application restores Wi-Fi system files and some services essential to the proper functioning of the network. WiFi Fixer will take care of your device when it attempts to acquire an IP address. It is especially easy-to-use app, lacking a pretty interface, but once you understand how it works and gone through the short tutorial, WiFi Fixer will help you solve problems with your connection.
