Handy to know for removing the on screen keyboard...

So are you irritated by the large keyboard that pops up when you type? No worries.

Install Null Keyboard. But don't just count on that. The Enter button won't work, so you have a problem...

Gesture motion to transfer from PC to phone.

I had a thought in which a person who is looking at something on a PC and wants to continue it on their phone. They hold their phone at a 15° angle for 2 seconds then whip the phone back like you're fishing. That gesture as recorded by the gyro then triggers the phone to communicate with the desktop to send information over regarding what was on screen. For example a website, or reddit comment, or photo. If it were a photo, you'd have the ability to save it locally. If it were a website then it ...

PSA: Fix for Whatsapp getting stuck at loading Media from Backup (Sorry if its the wrong Sub)

3. Disconnect your phone from your PC
4. Uninstall Whatsapp from your phone
5. reinstall WhatsApp BUT DONT OP...
