Devs are Discounting Apps/Games to Help Pass the Time During Quarantine

Hi again!

I keep track of and publish all of the Android application and game sales that I find on [PlayStoreSales.com](https://www.PlayStoreSales.com)

So I thought I would pass along the information to the community.

So far I have notic...

Samsung Dex is saving my job

I work for a company that is small enough to suffer major consequences in this market downturn (we're publicly traded, didn't perform well in 2019, stock is weak already even before this downturn) yet large enough to not focus on individual employees if one or a handful doesn't get paid or loses their job.

Our office is in a very large (think... empire state building) corporate office building and and with the Coronavirus scare, the company is trying to skirt the lines of allowing employees to ...

IMS Service has stopped: A guide to fixing broken MMS

I thought you guys may find this useful as I found a ton of posts on it. I started having this issue a few weeks ago on my Note 9 after update to android 10. IMS Service would stop on boot and people would receive my MMS messages about 2 hours later.

I was able to fix this issue WITHOUT restoring my whole phone as most guides tell you to do.

Step 1: Install ccswe app manager (or another app manager)

Step 2: [Search for "ims"](https://imgur.com/L7uNzQ5)

Coronavirus and your smartphone.

With the ongoing pandemic, I made a video noscriptd "CORONAVIRUS: How to clean your phone" and shared it on reddit and soon on other social networks.


With all the misinformation about the subject I was a little bit worried that I didn't provide any good material regarding the video.

Detergent can damage your smarphone, damage your screen or accelerate the discoloration of your phone. But from, BBC's video of DR. Lena Ciric I've learnt that you can do that with no harm if you clean them with a m...
