How to fix Galaxy S8 “DQA keeps stopping” error message

Original post, April 22: Following the day one update for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, many users are now repeatedly seeing a “DQA keeps stopping” error message when connected to Wi-Fi. While Verizon, T-Mobile and Samsung support have been all over the issue on social media, a single conclusive fix still doesn’t seem to have been found. We’ve got a few things you can try listed below though. The first 10 things to do on your new Galaxy S8

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 (8-inch) review

. The Tablet 2 8-inch doesn’t offer the best specifications, build quality or software experience on the market, but for the price, this tablet offers a unique design, a great screen, and a decent gaming experience. While Lenovo hasn’t been the the most prominent hardware manufacturer in the United States, the company has been making great strides to change that. From joining forces with Ashton Kutcher to to creating a growing line of Android and Windows tablets, Lenovo is showing the rest of the world that they have something to offer.

Motorola Edge Plus: Why is it Verizon exclusive?

The Motorola Edge Plus is a feature-packed flagship that looks at every bit as good a purchase as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus. In fact, it’s arguably the better purchase, given its slightly cheaper retail price of $999 — $200 less than the base S20 Plus. With a reasonable price, an impressive feature set, a stylish look, and, as a brand new flagship series for the Android veteran, a bit of additional wow factor, Motorola could well have had a major hit on its hands.

Samsung tipped to bring water resistance to Galaxy A33 in 2022

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could add water resistance to more Galaxy A models in 2022. This could include the budget Galaxy A33. The Galaxy A53 and A73 are also believed to regain IP ratings. Samsung tends to filter its flagship phone features down to mid-range and budget Galaxy A models. We’ve seen cheaper phones gain high refresh rate displays, larger camera sensors, and more. Now, a new report suggests that water resistance may be the latest feature addition to its budget offerings in 2022.

Spice up Hangouts chats with stickers using this app and Xposed mod

An extension of the usual IP-based chatting service, stickers have grown in popularity among mobile users, especially with the rise of cross-platform apps like LINE and Viber and even Facebook Messenger. Google’s own Hangouts service was actually late in the game, only introducing stickers in late February this year in its iOS release. Even with stickers support on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Hangouts for Android, and even on desktop, are still lacking in this department.

The best Hindi to English dictionaries for Android

Hindi is one of the world’s most popular languages. It’s third, in fact, behind Mandarin Chinese and English. Tons of people travel to India and other parts of the world where Hindi is prevalent. Thus, a good phrasebook or dictionary is a good decision. You don’t need a paper phrasebook or dictionary anymore, though. Mobile devices are more than capable of handling the task. Most of these apps also work between the two languages.

There were smartphones with dedicated Facebook buttons

There are usually only three buttons on modern smartphones, namely volume up, volume down, and the power button. Some exceptions exist, though, such as dedicated shortcut keys for voice assistants. Go back to the early 2010s, however, and you might see camera shutter buttons too. But there were a few phones in that era that came with an even stranger hardware key. Yep, we’re talking about the Facebook button. Believe it or not, HTC launched two devices in 2011 that came with dedicated Facebook buttons.

What's going on with the OnePlus Nord selfie camera?

Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority There’s little doubt front-facing cameras are as important as the rear cameras on a modern smartphone, so it makes sense OnePlus focused hard on upping its game with the OnePlus Nord selfie cameras. The OnePlus Nord sports a 32MP front-facing camera paired up with a secondary 8MP ultra-wide shooter for capturing larger groups. Now, OnePlus doesn’t have a spectacular track record when it comes to imaging.

Who actually has real 960fps super slow-motion recording?

Sony kickstarted a rather interesting trend with its Xperia XZ Premium back in 2017, delivering a hitherto unprecedented 960 frames per second (fps) slow-motion mode. This allows users to capture scenes and movement four times slower than your standard 240fps mode. This super slow-mo option is far from perfect though, as it requires plenty of good light and captures less than a second of motion. That hasn’t stopped plenty of companies from adding it to their phones, including Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and Realme.
