Is the hotspot on the phone still working? If yes, you need to re-flash its ROM or find another ROM entirely. A Google Search for Techno Q1 should give you a good list of ROMs available for the Techno Q1.

But if the hotspot is also not working, it's an hardware problem.

@HTC1: If you have custom ROM on your HTC1, then you need to re-flash the exact Google Gapps for the version of that HTC1.
E.g if the HTC1 is android 4.4.4, you need flash the earliest google apps/Gapps on the phone.
View this page for details about Gapps and downloads: http://www.arykblog.com/2014/03/what-is-gapps.html

However, if the ROM on the HTC1 is a Stock ROM (the ROM that comes with the Phone), download Mobogenie then,use mobogenie to update your Google Play Service and the Playstore then restart your phone.

@LG: As for the LG, does the phone hits up? If yes, backup the phone contents and perform a full wipe on the phone. If you know more about engineering android phones, I suggest that you change the phone's recovery to 4EXT or[b] TWRP [/b]recovery.
Most android devices charge from the recovery and changing the recovery could be a lasting solution -It is a tested and confirmed solution on HTC, Samsung and Motorolla android phones. Although, I have not done it on LG, I believe that would work for it too.

From what you said, your HTC 1 probably still have stock ROM. In that case, simply update your Google Play Store.

As for your wife's LG, if warranty covers it, I suggest you return it. It's just too early to tampering with such a brand new phone.

How do i update my Google playStore

Pls guys... My browsers restarts itsef whenever i open a new app or leave it in background... I use a samsung s3... Nd someone flashed a rom for me nd its rooted... Pls how do i resolve dis issue... Thanks and God bless

georgee: How do i update my Google playStore

Using your browser, search for Mobogenie and download it. Once you have installed Mogenie, search for playstore within it to update.

the hotspot is uncontrolable

@ Moststylish:
In that case, It's an hardware problem. Consult your Mobile Phone hardware engineer/specialist.

If you are in Ilorin or Lagos, I can personally handle it for you.

It's most likely that you have set your phone to destroy apps' activities whenever you close them.

Just go to settings <<>>Developer Option <<>> Don't Keep Activities and then, disable the 'Don't keep activities' option.

NOTE:
You will have to scroll far down under the developer option to see the 'Don't keep activities' option.

Then, it's a bug from the ROM you have flashed. You need to wait until the ROM is updated and the bug is corrected. If its affects only inbuilt browser, simply download another browser like Chrome, Fire Fox, UC Web amongst others on it.

If you like, you may try another ROM on it.

pauloshevy: Pls I've been looking for a custom rom for my tecno p9, can you suggest any good nd stable one for me to download

I have only flashed ROMs on Techno N3, Phantom and A+ series of Techno. I have never flashed on Techno P9.
I suggest you use Google Search and hope you get good results.

Gosj01: My Innjoo 1s always hving problem of internal low memory each I can't download again, and d apps is moving to SD card. Pls help!!!!

It's not only the Apps on the phone that consumes your phone memory but also the cache each app dump on the phone.
Check this: http://www.arykblog.com/2014/03/how-to-fix-storage-space-running-out.html for info on how to set your memory card as the default storage for both apps and cache.

Pls whenever I insert and remove an earphone from my phantom A+ phone, the earphone icon will not disappear from the phone which will cause the phone to be silent on till when re boot. Pls what can I do?

Aphex: Complete steps to root and install custom rom using P.C PLEASE! Quite urgent

You need to specify the type of android device you wish to root and install custom ROM on so that I may be able to give you the easiest and best method. Not all android devices have the same method of rooting.

And this for flashing custom ROMs: http://www.arykblog.com/2014/04/how-to-flash-new-rom-on-android-device.html

abdulr747: Pls whenever I insert and remove an earphone from my phantom A+ phone, the earphone icon will not disappear from the phone which will cause the phone to be silent on till when re boot. Pls what can I do?

If you are using Custom ROM on the Techno A+, it is a bug on the ROM. But if it is a Stock ROM, it's an hardware problem. You need to consult your Mobile Hardware engineer for adjustment of the Handsfree port.

If it's a custom ROM, re-flashing the ROM should correct the error.

TIBLOSMITH: Please guys,my play store isn't working anymore

Remove all the freedom crab files, reset your APNs and and restart your phone. Everything should fine then.

What exactly do you want the luncher to do that it fails to do? Normally, you should just download and install the luncher application and open it on the phone. Most luncher works that way.

Thank you for the commendation.
