How often do you find nudes on the phones? Also, post wins

What software should I use to unlock phones?

I don't look through their pictures because I have strict rules not to. I'm also not a creep/perv.

What was your toughest experience with a screwing mechanism and how much time did you waste on that.

sure you are. why are you here if not?

It's impossible (or very very difficult) to bypass the passcodes on cell phones. Even factory resetting the phone won't work because you need the passcode to reset.

I'm guessing you're talking about the small screws inside the phone. I rarely lose screws and I have spares because most android phones use the same narrow 3mm screws.

Why not apple or laptops?

iPhones used to be fair game but they're getting harder and harder to repair and replacement parts are getting more and more expensive so I avoid them. I';ve got a high respect for people who make a profit off of repairing the newer iPhones.

I also forgot to say that I used to do laptop repairs but they require completely different tools. They are also really difficult depending on the manufacturer. Things like water damage and hardware malfunctions are hard to fix.

Thanks. Locked my Samsung when drunk, took it to a shop in town and they unlocked it for me (for a fee). How did they unlock it?

Did they reset it? What kind of lock did it use? (pin, pattern, fingerprint, etc.)

I had a pin code. They unlocked it. No loss of data if I remember correctly.

What phone was it? I remember S5s and below had an exploit.

Galaxy A5

Oh ok. That explains it.

My phone suddenly is full of trap porn, what do?

Post it to Sup Forums of course! Don't even bother checking if there is already a trap thread because everyone loves trap porn! Duh!

I have the Sony m5 and when I watch Netflix, pause and lock the phone, everytime I unlock it (while it's still on Netflix) it freezes for a minute but whatever I'm watching continues to play and I only hear audio. It doesn't happen in any of my other devices. Why's that?

I have a iphone 3 with a short battery life, how do you fix that?

Probably an issue with the Netflix app itself. My best advice is to look out for an update and in the meantime, try uninstalling and reinstalling. That's as much as I know because I'm a hardware guy.

How often do you run into really old phones or strange models?

Any tips on bringing new life into an original Nexus 5?

Okay dude, thanks.

Get a new iPhone.

Assuming this isn't a joke, get it replaced. Lithium ion batteries lose charge over time which is a simple repair. It should only cost about $30 but some places might not do it because it's so old.

I have a 2006 Sony Ericsson
Most of the buttons have fallen off, what can i use as an alternative?
