First time ko bumili ng mahal na phone gamit ang inipon kong sweldo. Sobrang saya ko! Any tips/advice po for a first time iphone user? Thanks

Am I considered as heavy user? Or this is average?

I just really hate it kapag nabubuhol mga cords sa table and even when packing.

Feeling ko good deal na yung freebies ng Digital Walker with the unit. Hehe.

Nagbabrowse ako sa epbi marketpleys tas nakita ko yung aypown na for sale. Ang baba ng price for its current value. Read ko agad yung deets kasi baka worth buying, tas ayun, may dead pixel yung phone na cause daw ng “update” kaya chineck ko yung pics. Software issues baka maniwala pa ko na cause ng update, pero yung dead pixel? Pati ba yan isisisi pa sa update.

Currently torn between Xiaomi TV Stick models. I'm thinking of getting the most recent model, wary lang since pricey siya for me na baka okay naman na kahit yung cheaper version lang. Kaso with the older model, may mga nabasa akong issue na naglloop lang sa reboot and baka laggy na siya.

I just wanna watch YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ sa TV without having to connect it to a laptop/iPad. Preferably may mic para di hassle magtype.

hello! please help me out. i was with my bf's fam when my phone got submerged in 6-8 seawater for about 10-15 minutes. pagka ahon sa tubig naoopen pa rin siya, front and back cam were working perfectly fine. i let it rest for around 30 mins (di ko napower off, i really didn't know what to do) tapos after that binasa ko ng fresh water because inadvise ng parents ng bf ko. (p.s due to limited resources kasi nasa roro kami, hindi ko nababad sa rice or silica gel. after 3 or 4 hours ko na nababad kasi bumyahe kami sa island) after that, his younger brother advised me to water eject the phone. he airdroped a shortcut sakin tapos ayun winater eject ko nga, then nagpopower off siya bigla. napansin ko rin na umiinit then after 3 water ejects nag green screen na siya totally. finorce shut down nalang namin tapos nag notif sa apple watch ko na finorce shut down yung device and when we got home after 4 days i tried charging the phone sa bahay, pero umiinit lang siya and di na nagfifire up yung screen.

dinala ko muna siya sa trusted shop na mainly nagfofocus sa pag-ayos ng apple gadgets, kaso the cost was around 60k kaya hindi ako nag-go kasi parang bumili nalang din sana ako ng new unit. they were recommending me to repair the logic board, back case, middle frame, lcd, and camera. alsoo take note pinaiwan nila yung unit so i wasn't able to ask much questions.

i brought it sa greenhills yesterday and nung sinalpakan ng replacement lcd nag work siya however i wasnt able to check yung cameras and everything else because nung inask ko, sabi nung technician may titignan daw muna sila. and ayun they adviced me na to repair the housing, kukunin motherboard, battery and everything na nagffire up ng phone ko and ililipat sa ibang katawan. para rin daw maayos function ng buttons.

i consulted some people and they said if pwede bang yung lcd nalang muna ayusin kasi kung maayos naman yung unit nung nakuha underwater at nung pinalitan lcd, maybe hindi na need palitan yung housing. kasi kung mababasa naman daw ang motherboard then hindi na siya dapat nagwowork. baka daw kasi iniiscam lang ako para makuha original housing ko. sabi rin nung tech, yung baba lang daw pinasok ng tubig kaya ganiyan itsura nung baba. alsoo, he asked me kung brand new ba yung phone nung nakuha ko kasi bakit nga raw papasukin ng tubig kung bnew, kaya napaisip din ako (bnew siya nakuha).

for context, this is what the unit looks like

pls help me outtt, i need more suggestions. sa sunday ako babalik ng gh para ipaayos

My laptop screen suddenly started flickering today. I frequently use it this week but never noticed it until now as it just appeared by now. And the laptop hasn’t been dropped or placed under any pressure recently.

As you can see in the photos, the glitch is that it appears then it goes back then glitch again.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and if there’s a possible fix without replacing the LCD? It’s a bit out of the budget

Any troubleshooting steps I can try would really help. Thanks!
