Payette Forward Tech Blog
This blog is from a former Apple employee (David Payette) and his friend, an Android technician (John). They provide fixes for your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Mac, and PC and claim that over 5 million have been people helped so far!
Many of the problems are software related and can be fixed by simply changing the settings.

Android Technical Posts
Example:
I followed the iPhone fixes for extending battery life and their explanations and instructions made sense to me which means they are in non-tech speak. Most fixes have to do with settings that constantly update mail, aps and track where you are. Do you really need the compass to be accurate minute by minute? Do you want Apple to track where you are?

There is also a tab called Ask PF where you are invited to ask questions and make comments with a view to helping not only yourself but others as well. I must say that i am really liking the community spirit that David is encouraging.
Anyway, this is just a referral and i accept no responsibility for anyone who might use the above technical advice. In other words if things go wrong, don't blame me, OK! I am technophobic!

Thanks for Visiting Living In The Land of Oz
I'm bookmarking this post, moving from a flip phone (still?) to a 'smart' phone soon - I'm sure I'll need this. Thank you Lynda!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynda. My smartphone switches itself off quite often but as it is now two years old it would be considered OLD! How ridiculous. A nice girl at Optus reset it for me one day and it behaved for a few months. I think the expectation now is that they will be replaced annually. Such a lot of waste though.
ReplyDelete2 years old? Heck, mine is about 5 I think. I have an iPhone 3Gs and it is dying piece by piece. The GPS isn't working so maps is not really useful, the camerao and video no longer work either and I can't receive pictures now either. Still, it makes phone calls and I can play games sometimes. I'm upgrading soon though. ;)
DeleteYes, Jess you will be!!!!!
