Fixt [Android, iOS App]

Fixt is an app for on-demand mobile device repair services that allows you to schedule “repair delivery” just like how you order take-outs. Within a few taps, you can have a skilled local technician sent to your location and fix your broken device in typically under 20 minutes.
Here are the basic steps:
  1. Sign up using your cell phone number
  2. System auto-detects the model and make of your smart devices
  3. Choose “what’s broken”: screen; home button; lock button; volume buttons; camera; battery; water damage
  4. Specify a location so the system can locate a technician nearest to you; or you can find an in-network shop close by
  5. Schedule a time when you’d like to have your repairs done
  6. Input your credit card information and submit order
The old process of finding a repair shop, making your way there, and waiting in line for service is an unbearable hassle, let alone the costs. Fixt has a robust network of skilled, pre-vetted technicians located across the country to offer convenient mobile repair solutions at a fraction of the standard cost. Before you place your order, Fixt also shows you a guaranteed maximum price to help you navigate the costs.
This is a free app that supports both iOS and Android devices. Download here: http://d.fixt.co/

Android Data Recovery with EaseUS MobiSaver for Android

No one wants to lose data. There are tons of backup programs or apps or services out there that users can use. Today I am looking at EaseUS MobiSaver for Android.

EaseUS MobiSaver for Android is available in two formats, free and paid. If you are curious about the program, then the free version will give you a good look at it but for full functionality, the paid version is the way to go.

features

 

This is is a program that you install on your PC and then connect your Android device to it. Once you are connected, you can scan your device and preview files before you do anything.  There really is not a lot of moving parts and is very straight forward.  You have control over what happens so you can rest easy that you will not mess anything up.

The PC program works on Windows XP through to Windows 10 and on a number of different Android devices.

With all of the material and information people store on their mobile devices, it is important to backup data or have the ability to recover lost files. Case in point: When I gave my daughter my old Android phone, I wiped it clean. After I hit the”restore to factory default” button, I realized I forgot to get some photos and files. I survived, was a bit disappointed but if I had had this program, and an up to date back up, I might have been able to save the files I wanted.

So what do you use to backup your Android device? If you are looking for an easy and affordable option, give EaseUS MobiSaver for Android a try. Now if you have a Windows or iOS device, they are options for those too.

Giveaway (Feb 2016): The folks from EaseUS have given me a number of promo codes for the full version of this software. Do you want one? All you need to do is subscribe to the newsletter check out the next issue coming out tomorrow.
