WONDERSHARE Dr.Fone Rip-Off..
Recently, I've had a number of Samsung phones (A32, A07 etc) where the owner has forgotten pin AND google login. If just a pin number has been set, factory reset will wipe the device and allow it to be set up from scratch. However, if a google sign in was also used, then Factory Reset Protection (FRP) kicks in and you have to provide google credentials. As people get older these scenarios are getting more common.
Of course, it's possible to unlock phones by signing into the google account, but if that isn't an option you might turn to the web and try apps like Wondershare's Dr.Fone. It promises so much, but let me warn you, from personal experience, IT DOES NOT WORK and you will waste your money.
For example, I used the free version to check phones could be unlocked - "yes, FRP could be removed". So I installed the full version and guess what, oh no it can't (see screenshot). When I challenged Wondershare they said "The MediaTek chip will not allow FRP bypass" - wait, what! The MediaTek chip is in most of the A series range, almost half Samsung products. So, it's all a con - save your money..

We've got some hot days and nights coming. Electronic equipment needs to keep cool too. Listen out for high fan noise or sudden shut-offs. For example, x-boxes have an internal fan but the vents get clogged. Blowing into the vents won't shift this - see these pictures from an S-series. It has to be disassembled and the dust bunnies evicted!

Plusnet have transferred their email management to a third party called Greenby, "free for the first 2 years then ÂŁ15 per year". Given the experiences of the people I've helped, it hasn't been managed well. I've recommended my clients to vote with their feet. Get yourself a free email address such as gmail (google) or hotmail (microsoft). I know it seems like a lot of hassle, but it'll give you the flexibility to move away from plusnet broadband - or at least to threaten to - so you can negotiate a better broadband deal.
