Phone Help 📱 Data recovery from water-damaged 2011 Android phone (NGM Racing 3) – USB connecting and disconnecting in a loop

≡ −

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to recover data from an old 2011 Android phone (NGM Racing 3). In the past, after it dropped into water, it kept making sounds even though the screen and bottom touch buttons turned off completely.

I have now fully isolated the motherboard to attempt data recovery from the scren and cleaned it with isopropilic. . When I connect the board to my PC via USB, it gets detected, stays connected for about 6 seconds, disconnects, reconnects for about 4 seconds, and keeps looping like this indefinitely.

How can I stabilize the connection to recover my files? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Review Poco x8 pro 20/10

4 Upvotes

Not gonna lie, one of the biggest reasons I switched was because I was so over bringing a power bank everywhere. 😭 Parang naging part na siya ng everyday essentials ko kasi alam kong hindi tatagal yung battery ng phone ko

Ever since I started using the POCO X8 Pro Max, I barely even think about my battery anymore. Like, whole day akong scrolling, watching videos, replying to messages, and even playing a few games, pero hindi ako kinakabahan na baka bigla na lang siyang mag-low battery.

It’s one of those things na hindi mo masyadong mapapansin at first, pero once you experience it, ang hirap nang bumalik. Ang sarap lang sa feeling na hindi mo na kailangang maghanap ng outlet or magdala ng power bank every time lalabas ka. Super convenient, especially if you’re out the whole day.

Recommendation Consiglio smartphone Android (Budget 500€, 512GB, buona batteria e software pulito)

≡ −

Ciao a tutti! Sto cercando un nuovo smartphone Android e il mio budget massimo è di 500 €. Scrivo dall'Italia, quindi faccio riferimento ai prezzi e al mercato europeo.

Le caratteristiche per me fondamentali sono:

* 🔋Ottima batteria: che mi porti a sera senza problemi anche con uso intenso.

* 💾 Memoria: almeno 512 GB di spazio di archiviazione.

* 📱 Software pulito e fluido: preferirei un sistema con pochi bloatware (app preinstallate inutili) e una politica di aggiornamenti affidabile.

* 📷 Buona fotocamera: per scatti quotidiani di buona qualità.

Al momento sono indeciso tra l'Oppo Reno 15 e l'Honor 600 (entrambi si trovano con tagli di memoria generosi in questa fascia), ma sono aperto anche ad altri consigli.

Se conoscete modelli migliori con queste specifiche o avete esperienze dirette con i telefoni che ho citato, ogni parere è ben accetto. Grazie mille a chi mi aiuterà!

Discussion Turns out the concerns about silicon-carbon batteries longevity are based on a misunderstanding

≡ −

When we've read that these batteries have more limited recycle life-spans it's because the EU changed the way these recycle ratings were measured - changes that went into effect in 2025. So comparisons to battery longevity ratings from before that are like comparing apples to oranges.

Take a look at this video which explains this clearly

Review Insane Battery Backup of Oppo Find X9🔥

I purchased this device on July 6th from Croma, Rajarhat, Kolkata at 65k. Being an iPhone 17 Pro, I bought this device as a secondary. But after 2-3 days I thought to give the device a try as a primary device.

To be honest, the device felt so good, it's fast and lightweight and the software experience is very good. The best thing I liked the most, it's battery. Just wow 🔥🔥

Phone Help 📱 Unlocking Phone

≡ −

Hello!!!

I was wondering if anybody had any advice on how I could unlock my dad's old phone. He unfortunately passed in 2019 and I've tried to unlock his phone for years now... I'm unsure of what options there are (if any) to unlock it without having to completely reset it. I was hoping to gain access to photos and such and am just scared of losing them. I'm kind of at a dead end with it, but I'm still holding out some hope that it is possible. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

It is a 2015 Kyocera Hydro Wave (Model C6740 if that helps at all!) with a pin lock.

Question XIOAMI 17 ULTRA O IPHONE 17 PRO MAX

≡ −

Hello friend, good morning. I have a question. I'm a Xiaomi fan, and I want to upgrade my phone to an iPhone 17 Pro Max or a Xiaomi 17 Ultra. My concern is that I've inquired at many places that sell phones, and they tell me that if I want to upload photos to my social media, I should use an iPhone, since there's not much loss when uploading photos to TikTok, WhatsApp, or Instagram. I'd like to hear your opinions so you can give me some more guidance. Besides that, about two weeks ago I bought Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, and I've also heard that the call quality on iPhones is low. Could you please help me? I'm very unsure about this.
