WHY CAN’T I DOWNLOAD MANY APPLICATIONS FROM THE ANDROID MARKET?

Oops! This sounds like a question to me but it might sound like a problem to you, however way it sounds; just understand that I’m here to help you to the best of my ability. It’s quite disappointing that you saw an app on the android market, liked it but unable to download it. Before you ask the question as to why it is so, try considering your phone specifications, these include your screen size. Some apps are designed for specific screen resolution and thus are not available on all phones. The high ends android phones tend to support more apps, landscape screened phones sometimes have problems with particular apps and games. There are other reasons why some apps may not be available such as the compatibility of the app on your phone and this also depends on the manufacturer. There is nothing to worry about since many apps seem to have substitutes. If one app is not compatible with your phone, then search for another app that performs similar functions.

MY WIFI DOES NOT STAY CONNECTED

Are you having issues with WIFI staying connected? Then you are at the right place. The solution to this disturbing problem is simple so stay connected. If your answer to the question asked above is “Yes”, then do the following:

1. Restart your android phone or enable airplane mode on your android phone for at least 1 minute.
2. Turn off the airplane mode and try connecting again with your android phone for wifi. If this didn’t work, then all hope is not lost because there is always a second option. Do this too
3. Go to “WIRELESS & NETWORKS/ WI-FI” settings and press the menu key.

I hope this works for you because it worked for me too.

MY PHONE SAYS I’M RUNNING OUT OF MEMORY

There are numerous reasons for this particular problem but among other reasons, there is a prominent problem which is due to a full cache memory.

WHAT IS CACHE MEMORY: cache memory is just a specific portion on your physical memory or RAM which stores frequently accessed data. It saves you the stress of going through your menu and clicking numerous options before accessing a particular information. Most of your contacts are stored on cache memory since it is frequently accessed by you.
All what I’m trying to say is that a full cache memory affects the efficient running of apps and your phone as a whole. This is an easy to deal with problem, so don’t worry about it. Consider doing the following:

1.  Download apps like Cache cleaner or clean master from Google play store.
2.  Install and run the apps to clean the cache for specific apps. This will free up some space which will be displayed on the screen by your app after the cleaning.
3. Uninstall unused apps and clear off junk data from your device.
4. Use an external SD card to store files with large memory to free up the physical memory.
5. Always clean your phone memory frequently.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE KEYS ON A COMPUTER AND SMARTPHONES KEYBOARDS ARE NOT ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER

There is so much fun in curiousity, asking yourself puzzling questions about the wonderful things surrounding you. The word computer is not new; it has existed many years ago. The modern days computer were not what we see them to be today, just like man, computer has undergone several generations of changes, evolving from huge, bulky, noisy, heavy, high power consuming and heat generating machines to the present day portable and better adapted machines.

One major component associated with the computer which aids it to receive instructions from users is the computer KEYBOARD. The computer keyboard is a very vital component of a computer which has no proper substitute as at now. Not only on computers alone, the keyboard also plays a vital role on your smart phones, without it, how would you input and save a friends number? Send text message or chat on social media?

So you can see how important that tray-like structure with mounds of keys is. Now, one puzzling stuff about the keyboard which gets me wondering each time I turn on my laptop to compose my blog post is the arrangement of the keys on the keyboard. I kept on asking myself; why wasn’t these keys arranged alphabetically from A, B, C, D…Z instead of the Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U… arrangement that we have been seeing? Is there any special reason or a kind of myth surrounding it?

All these questions bubbling through my mind prompted me to go on a little research about the computer keyboard and like seriously, doing this research just reminded me of the tough times I had when tons of assignment were dosed out to us while in school. Successfully, I was able to find out some good reasons about the non alphabetical arrangement of the keys on the computer keyboard which I am going to share with you in brief. 

THE REASON WHY KEYS ON A COMPUTER/MOBILE PHONES KEYBOARDS ARE NOT ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED

Before we get into the business of the day, let me also ask you; have you been wondering why these keys are not alphabetically arranged? If “Yes”, then we were once on the same track but not anymore because I actually found out the reason for myself, so here is the mystery behind this issue.

In my research, one recurring answer which seems to be the most occurring explanation behind the non alphabetical arrangement of keys on a computer keyboard is that it was actually designed to slow down typist because the first design accustomed to the keyboard usually resulted to jammed (not able to move anymore) keys and computer components as a result of high typing speed.

If you have seen a typist typing before, then you will be amazed with speed at which he or she does it. What that meant was that, the first layout usually resulted in the keyboard keys not being able to move anymore (sticky) which impeded typing. Let’s take our minds back to the 80’s. The very first keyboard was invented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1868 and this keyboard had its keys arranged serially from A to Z.

This made typing very fast and easy but on the other hand, it boosted the jamming of keys. Due to the key jamming problems, this layout was later replaced with something similar to it which I would say “had a semi alphabetical order” arrangement. This layout was also changed due to keys jamming resulting from the side by side placement of keys which increased typing speed.

Back then, when once a typewriter key gets jammed or a typographical error is committed, the typist had only one option which included unjamming the keys, ripping out the destroyed paper, getting your hands stained all over with inks and washing them off, inserting a new paper and starting all over again from the scratch!

You can really sense the kind of frustration those guys went through; I’m glad I was born within the modern keyboard period (lol!).

 As time flew, Sholes and Partners latter sold their keyboard and typewriter design to Remington & Sons who then manufactured the first commercial typewriter. It was actually this company “Remington & Sons” who then rearranged the letters on the keyboard and adopted the QWERTY layout as the standard layout which is what we are still struggling with today.

The QWERTY layout is arranged in a manner that makes high speed typing difficult therefore reducing the jamming rate. One more observation, Remington & Sons actually made the typing of the word TYPEWRITER very easy by arranging all the letters on the first row, though still mixed up like a clueless word puzzle game. You can confirm this by taking a simple look at the letters on the first row of your keyboard.

Over to you, how do you see the new layout? Do you think Remington & Sons made a big mistake by changing the layout? Has it caused more wrong than good? Is it frustrating to you? If you were given the choice of selecting your own personal layout, which one would you have choosen?

Kindly share your thoughts with us; let’s keep the gist hot and interesting by dropping your replies on the comment section. Please don’t forget to share this and amuse your friends, I bet you they may not know the reason why the keys are not alphabetically arranged. Cheers!

HOW TO RESET YOUR ANDROID PHONE TO FACTORY SETTINGS IF YOU FORGOT YOUR SECURITY CODE

This is a very trending issue affecting most android phone users. We are all humans and sometimes things do slip our minds, that is to say we do forget things. Sometimes we mistakenly choose a wrong security key and most of us do have our security key changed by our friends whom you refused to share your snacks with. Lol! It’s nothing to worry about because I believe that to every problem there is always a hidden solution and it just takes time, observation and critical thinking to discover it.

2. Hold your power button and your volume button simultaneously. (i.e. press the two keys at the side of your mobile phone at the same time, it must be the volume button and the power button)
3. A screen displays with a plain colour (it can be any colour depending on the programmer of your    phone) with options on it

5. Use your volume button to scroll through the options till you get to the reset button.
6. When you are on the reset button, press the “power button” to select.

If the above method didn’t work for you, then you have just one option but to flash your phone. This can be damaging a times but you don’t have a choice. Here is a useful tip you shouldn’t forget before thinking of flashing your phone:
Flashing your phone will permanently erase all your files, apps will be deleted, pictures, images and videos will be lost but you can avoid this by backing up all your useful files. You can move all files stored on the phone memory to your SD card for reuse.
If you rooted your phone, you have to unroot it before flashing the phone else your phone will crash for life.
Move phone contacts to SIM card to avoid losing them. After considering the above, you can then go ahead and get your phone flashed by a trusted professional.
