HOW TO FIND YOUR LOST PHONE

To verify your Android smartphone has the Find My Device feature turned on from your device, go to Settings > Google (or Google services) > Security and make sure Remotely locate this device is turned on in the Find My Device section.

If you can’t find your smartphone, you can always wipe it to prevent sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. Your device will need an internet connection, however, and enough juice to communicate with you. In Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google also introduced Factory Reset Protection (FRP). It’s designed to prevent would-be thieves from being able to steal your phone, wipe it, and then use it or sell it. If you factory reset a phone with FRP enabled and try to set it up as a new device, you’ll be prompted to enter the username and password for the last Google account that was registered on the device, and if you can’t, the phone will remain locked.

There are also third-party apps that you can install to help you find your phone. Cerberus Anti-theft is a great app that offers remote access and control, allowing you to obtain more information regarding the whereabouts of your phone. It provides a number of additional features, such as more granular control on how you track your device, screenshots of what your device is doing, photos from the camera to possibly catch the would-be thief, and other, more detailed notifications that Find My Device doesn’t offer. If your device is rooted, there are even more features available to prevent someone from resetting or turning off your device until you can recover it.

It can be used to locate a missing phone, lock it down, or wipe it completely. You’ll need a Samsung account, though, and the Remote Controls options enabled on your phone. To check and see if Find My Mobile is available for your smartphone, go to Settings > Lock screen & Security. If you see Find My Mobile in the menu, you can use the service; enable the Remote Controls options via Settings > Security > Find My Mobile > Remote controls. Also via Device administrators

Better ways to handle small problems with inbuilt battery Android phone

Phones with non-removable batteries are considered a problem by phone lovers across the world because they think it's complex to manage.

The truth, however, is that it may not be that hard to take care of once you know what to do, and what not to. Phone with non-removable batteries are not like the regular ones, so some extra knowledge is required in handling them.

Here are 4 important things to know if you use (or plan on getting) one.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR DEVICE FREEZES (OR HANGS) 

In other phones when this happens you can simply remove your battery, put it back and everything will be alright afterwards. Unfortunately for those of us using phones with non-removable batteries this is like a bad dream.

There are 2 types of freezing, however:

* THE HARD FREEZE – which is when your device freezes for over 10 minutes without responding.

When this happens, simply soft reboot the phone by holding the volume up, volume down and power button at the same time for about 30 seconds. Your device should reboot and unfreeze after.

* SOFT FREEZE – which is often temporary.

When this happens, just drop the phone for some minutes. It should unfreeze after a while. When it unfreezes quickly clear all the apps you've been running and reboot the phone.

MOTHERBOARD Parts and Function.......

Rear Connectors

These connectors are the bridge between the outside of your computer and the inside. The name is a bit misleading, as the connectors are actually located on the left edge of the motherboard; however, since these connectors are accessible from the outside, the name simply implies where they are accessible from – the rear of the PC case. External peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers and so on are all connected via these connectors.

Front Panel Connectors, USB Headers and Audio Header

The front panel connector is where all the elements present on the front of your case are connected. Power button, reset button, power led, audio connectors and USB connectors – they are all connected to the front panel or the corresponding headers.

BIOS Chip and Battery

The BIOS chip contains the basic code needed to take your computer through the boot process, up to the point where the operating system takes over. Since the BIOS code is stored on a memory chip that needs constant power to function, a battery is also present to keep the chip powered when the computer is unplugged.

Processor Socket

The processor socket is the central piece of a motherboard, usually being located near the center of the motherboard. It’s also the central piece because it holds the processor – the brain of your computer.

Power Connectors

No computer component can operate without power, and a motherboard is no exception. The power connector, commonly a 20 or 24-pin connector, can be situated either near the right edge of the motherboard, or somewhere close to the processor socket on older motherboards. This is where the power supply’s main connector gets attached, providing power to the motherboard and all the other components.

Newer motherboards have an additional 4-pin or 8-pin connector near the processor, used to supply additional power directly to the processor.

Expansion Slots

Expansions have the role of letting you install additional components to enhance or expand the functionality of your PC. You can install a TV tuner, a video capture card, a better soundcard, etc. – you get the idea. These ports are located under the video card slot, and come in the form of PCI slots (on older motherboards) or a scaled-down version of PCI-Express slots (on newer motherboards). Some motherboards come with both types of expansion slots. The number of slots is usually dependent on the format of the motherboard – larger motherboards (full ATX) have more, while smaller formats (micro-ATX) have fewer, if any.
