And those four little signal bars at the top? Basically meaningless. Want the real signal strength? Open your Phone app and dial this: *3001#12345#*, then hit call.

You’re in Field Test Mode.

Is this for I-Phone or Android?

My family and other friends: How come my phone...

Me: When's the last time you restarted it?

Friends: Why would that work? It's not a computer.

I pass by her studio here in Phoenix regularly. I don’t think she takes a studio audience, though.

On the signal test thing on my iPhone, when I use a leading * I get a “your request was not recognized” message. When I use a leading # I get a “Error performing request, Unknown error” message.

Lots ‘o good info there! Thanks. I don’t have one of those rings, and I wouldn’t get one anyway- it would be redundant.

“Unlock Developer Mode:”
A must for me as I tether all my internet access to my router. I’ve never had the cell provider throttle me after 100s of gigs.

“CTRL ALT B”
I have to use frequently as one of my engineering programs does not play friends when I unplug with one of my portable monitors.

Why can't there simply be an extra button marked "EMERGENCY RESTORE" that fixes everything?

(It could automatically connect with an A.I. on the Internet, diagnose the problem, and implement a fix.)

Never understood the logic of having a routine repair that requires "insider knowledge" to implement.

Regards,

Nice tip: Press Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B
You’ll hear a beep, the screen flashes, and boom, your graphics driver resets. One second, no reboot.


I have 2 pc’s hooked up to the same monitor using a KVM switch. When I switch to the other pc then switch back using a remote control the 1st pc will not display anything so I have been turning off then on the monitor and the desktop screen shows up.

Now I can just do: Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B
