All storage device, including hard drives are susceptible to crash. Even mobile phone rom

this sd card has served me well since 2017, all these started after I collected some pictures from one girl, I strongly suspect virus

Holuwaxheun:


Sorry about the files lost. It's always advisable to have backups too on harddrive or system. U can get a pen drive.

is pen drive same as flash drive and does it have usb c port?

michealdeco:
that's why it's advisable to also backup on Google drive

I do that when I have excess data

can someone also back up songs to Google drive? And do you know the estimated storage space given for free on Google drive?

bigtt76:
E yaaaa. I stopped using SD Card years ago because of all these rada rada.

When people were peddling it here I was just like.... Time will tell. Even if na Western Digital make the SD card sef I no want

Sorry for your loss.

thanks, my eyes have cleared. Never again

After my memory card crashed in 2017, I didn't store items there again. I only put my songs, video and some pictures that I either already have a backup of, or that I can afford to lose. All other important items were on the phone.

Lost my phone a week ago, including the memory card. Only my camera pictures and some videos were backed up to Google Drive (as I didn't include so many folders for backup despite having access to free wifi during working hours). Until I need to reference some files, I might not remember how important other files are.

Going forward, I've decided that I'll ensure backup of all my important folders to google drive (and probably Dropbox too). I also purchased an OTG/USB flash drive for easy backup to my PC. That way, I should have nothing to worry about.

thanks.
Please is dropbox also free like Google drive? What's the storage space or limit? Is there anything like usb type c otg for flash drives?

I think it's 15gb but with .edu mail you get unlimited storage

. Don't waste ur time storing songs in the cloud... Just valuables.

IKON360:

yes....e full jumia... Ask ife

IKON360:

. Yes it's same as flash... But the small usb port for otg and stuff.
OTG flash drive is the best...

Hello guys my phone presses something else whenever I try to press something unless I lock the screen and unlock again..
I think It started when u wanted to apply my screen guard and I used the magic fluid(every thing) on the edges of the screen and I think It somehow got into my phone screen..
I have removed the screen guard but the problem is still persistent..
I have also put my phone in rice overnight too but its still the same..
Device redmi 5
Any suggestions what I can do?
Or if I'm wrong, what the problem is?
cc gptech grandmufti noobody protein0 fibonacci2526 & others

that magic fluid is the culprit. It may have permeated the screen and affected it.

IKON360:

thanks.

Dropbox is free, but limited to 2GB storage space. So if you're going to use it, it should only be for important lightweight files. Yes, there's USB type c otg flash drive.

For those eyeing xiaomi MI 9 there is a review on xda developers, even the compromises xiaomi had to make to get you a sd855 phone at less than $470 are outlined.

in an android phone that was booted into recovery mode, will the otg flash drive still be accessible? And like in unlocking bootloader, will an internal storage wipe also affect the contents of a flash drive plugged into the phone?

depending on the code it can access i believe so but ordinarily it shouldn't access the external flash... As for the second question, why ask wen u can just remove the flash

Last week, a report by XDA-Developers revealed that Xiaomi has three devices in the works. Two of them will be Android One phones, and the third was touted to be the base MIUI device for one of the phones. Apparently, that third phone will be the Mi 9X.

The Mi 9X is expected to be a cheaper alternative to the Mi 9 flagship. Or even better put, a slightly toned down version of the Mi 9 SE. According to the source, the Mi 9X will feature a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED. Like all new Xiaomi devices, there will be a waterdrop notch at the top.

The Mi 9X is expected to be powered by the same Snapdragon 675 that’s on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. It’s said to feature 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. At the rear will be a triple camera setup that comprises of a 48 MP main camera, an 8 MP wide-angle, and another 8 MP sensor—likely a telephoto one. The selfie camera is a 32 MP sensor.

Under the hood will be a 3300 mAh battery with 18 W fast-charging support. The Mi 9X is expected to start at about US$250.

Will it dry out overtime or its permanently there?

.edu mail requires being an American student and the steps I saw for non students last worked mid 2018.
And what platform offers the cloud storage?

I asked cos one might have downloaded a new Rom and saved it on the external flash, now in recovery mode the person wipes internal storage of the phone, flashes in the new Rom but no option to unmount the flash drive before unplugging it. Will it harm the flash or can the phone be wiped without external storage being affected even though the flash wasnt unplugged cos there was no option to unmount before removal?

Donniefred:
please, Ineed ssomething lesser

nothing if you want new phone

how much I can get it

IKON360:

thanks, my eyes have cleared. Never again

I can provide you with unlimited space on Google drive.

fibonacci2526:



You have probably synced your photos and videos. Not advisable given the small storage option. Go to i.mi.com and delete the videos and photos you synced(if you are using a phone use the desktop mode).

Use Google photos/ drive for your photos/videos.

Thanks. Will try this

seaboyzen:

Depending on storage, type c 3.0 ranges from 5k 64gb to 18k 256gb

It shouldn't affect the flash to my understanding o... However, how do u flash a rom to a phone without a computer..

Not true.. I had one of such at OAU. Never used it, forgot the details sef.

Stable where I am though. Speed is relative but I guess it's still on test so it can be fast or slow at times. BTW this is on band 3

seunoni34:
thanks for the confirmation
But I don't think the 4g is stable & fast enough... What do you think?

What's magic fliud and why do I need to use?

macbeyland:

I have a redmi note 4x I bought from Protein0 that I want to sale for 40k or swap with note 7 global version. If you are interested, come.

.
all the roms I flashed on my last android phone never needed computer, in fact from what I've read about xiaomi it looks like its just fastboot roms that you need PC(?) but custom roms dont need PC, just have a custom recovery like redwolf or twrp.

ENIMONEY:
Who has screen guard and phone pack available asap for redmi note 5ai?

case is available
