Don’t panic yet. If the screen’s dead but the phone still powers on, try connecting it to a PC (AutoPlay might pop up and let you grab the photos).
If touch is busted but USB debugging wasn’t on, you can use an OTG cable and a mouse to navigate.
Also, check Google Drive or Google Photos..they often have backups running in the background. If your pics were on the SD card, just plug it into a new phone or a card reader.
In Worst case, you’ll need an android data recovery software or take it to a pro, but definitely try the simple stuff first.
A sudden battery drain on your iPhone may be caused by background apps, a recent iOS update, or some type of settings has changed. First, check Settings > Battery to see which apps are consuming the most power. Disable Background App Refresh and Location Services for non-essential apps. Reduce screen brightness and turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when not needed.
Next, restart the phone and see if the issue continues.
My Android phone fell and the screen’s completely shattered. I can’t tap anything, the display is either black or glitchy, and I’m freaking out because I had all my family photos on it. Is there any way I can still recover those photos without going straight to some expensive data recovery service?
Check the Trash in the Files by Google app (if it had file access before deletion). It stores stuff for 30 days. If it’s not there, stop using your phone to avoid overwriting data. You’ll need to try an android data recovery software that scans internal storage. No root needed for some of them, just follow the steps carefully. And yeah, backing up to cloud next time saves a lot of stress
I was clearing up some space on my phone and accidentally deleted a folder that had a bunch of my voice call recordings and a few old songs I transferred from my laptop a while back. I checked File Manager, the Music app, and even my Gallery (just in case), but there’s no sign of them.
I didn’t back them up manually on Google Drive, but I do use the Files by Google app occasionally for cleanup — could that help?
Or is there any other way I can get those audio files back without rooting the phone?
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed my iPhone battery is draining much faster than usual, even when I’m not actively using it. I haven’t changed how I use the phone, and there haven’t been any major app downloads. It feels like something is running in the background or a recent update caused it. What could be causing this sudden battery drain, and what steps can I take to fix it without replacing the battery right away?
Yes, most Android phones have a built-in option to hide photos. Open the Google Photos app or your phone’s default Gallery app. Select the photos/videos you want to hide, tap the three-dot menu, and choose “Move to Locked Folder”.
Hope that helps.
If your iPhone won’t charge, check the charging cable and adapter for damage or fraying. Try using a different cable, adapter, or power source. Inspect the Lightning port for lint or debris and gently clean it with a toothpick or soft brush.
Also, check if the charging icon appears when plugged in. If the phone still doesn’t charge, try wireless charging or contact Apple support.
My iPhone was working perfectly fine and all of the sudden it suddenly stopped charging — what could be the reason and how do I fix it?
Hello everyone, My problem is that after having stored my data in the disk I can not access my data, indeed the disk is recognized by the PC but it does not give me the window to write my password. The data are very important to me and and I want to recover them . I have “My Passport Ultra” Hard Disk
Can’t see my new 2TB external hard drive
1.Turn off and unplug your PC.
2. Check if the hard drive is firmly connected.
3. Enter BIOS (F2, DEL, or ESC) and see if the drive shows up.
4. Run hardware diagnostics (F12 or ESC at startup).
5. Try a different cable or port (desktop only).
If still not working, test the drive on another PC.
Fix “Unable to determine volume version and state” error:
1. Don’t format the drive.
2. Use recovery software like Stellar to get your files back.
3. After recovery, run this in Command Prompt (as admin):
chkdsk X: /f
Replace X: with your drive letter.
4. Check Disk Management to see if the drive shows as RAW or unallocated.
5. Recover data first before any repairs.
You can hide photos and videos on your Android without deleting them or using any sketchy apps. Here are a few easy ways:
1. Use File Manager (No third-party app needed)
If your phone has a built-in File Manager:
Open File Manager > Settings
Enable “Show hidden files”
Create a new folder and name it something like .private. (the dots at the beginning and end matter)
Move the photos/videos you want to hide into that folder
Now go back and turn off “Show hidden files”
These files won’t show up in your Gallery anymore, but they’re still safe in your storage.
2. Use Google Photos Archive (Quick & Easy)
If you’re using Google Photos:
Open the app and select the images/videos you want to hide
Tap the three dots menu > Move to Archive
The media gets hidden from the main gallery but stays accessible under the Archive folder in Library
3. Samsung Users – Secure Folder
Go to Settings > Security > Secure Folder
Set it up with your Samsung account and preferred lock method
Add your photos/videos inside it
You can even hide the Secure Folder icon from your app drawer
I accidentally deleted some really important voice recordings from my Android phon, itwas a mix of personal notes and a few call recordings I really didn’t mean to lose. I’ve checked the usual places (like my file manager and apps), but no luck so far. I’m not even sure if I had backups enabled. Is there any actual way I can still get those recordings back without rooting my phone or doing something super technical?
