What is the Microsoft Your Phone app? Launched in 2015, Microsoft’s Your Phone Companion app was initially only able to move photos between your PC and Android phone. Now, it’s been updated to handle notifications as well, making it far more useful. The app runs on phones with Android 7.0 (Nougat) or above and requires Windows 10 version April 2018 Update or later on your PC. There is a version for iPhone, but this is very limited, only allowing the sharing of webpages between devices....

We’ll start with the free options for getting skins, although the free route takes longer than opening up your wallet and spending some hard-earned cash. If you’d like some helpful Apex Legends advice then make sure you take a look at the best Legends to pick and the best weapons to pick up. How to get free skins in Apex Legends Unlock Apex packs from levelling up your account The most obvious way to get skins in Apex Legends is simply by playing the game....

You can run any X86 version of Windows such as Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on any Mac that has an Intel processor, which means that if your Mac was bought any time from 2006 onwards it is good to go with Windows. (See also: How to speed up a Mac.) Why run Windows on a Mac? There are plenty of reasons why you may wish to do so. OS X is great, of course, but there are plenty of professional situations where everyone else is using a Windows PC and it is helpful to be on the same platform....

Huawei Y9 Prime features all the flagship specifications at an affordable price tag. Some of these include 6.59 inches of full view display with 1080 x 2340 pixels of resolution.

For that reason, there are no plans to launch YouTube Go in the UK and US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Germany or France. This means you won’t be able to find the app within the Play Store from your Android device, and when using a desktop browser you will be told it’s incompatible with all your devices. But even though connectivity is much better over here than it is in places such as India, where YouTube Go launched in beta last year, that doesn’t mean some users won’t be able to benefit from the app....

Android 9 (Pie) also added support for this high-efficiency format, and it can be worth using it if your phone doesn’t already save photos in this modern format. The drawback is that you’ll probably find you cannot open these files after transferring them to you laptop or PC. Microsoft added HEIC (and HEIF) support in version 1809 (the October 2018 update), but even if you computer is running the latest version of Windows you may still have to install a couple of things (and pay actual money) before the native Windows Photos app will open these files and let you view them....

However, if you have deleted an account, then realised it was the wrong one, or you changed your mind, you might be able to restore it. This applies to a Gmail account too, since Gmail is the email service that’s part and parcel of a Google account – you can’t really have one without the other. How long do I have to restore my Gmail account? Google says you have a 2-3 week grace period during which it’s possible to recover your account and – with it – your emails in Gmail....

There are lots of reasons why you might want to rip and copy a movie from a DVD and store it on your computer. You might want to watch a new DVD on your iPad or tablet (which do not have DVD drives); you might just want to backup your expensive movie collection; another reason might be that your DVD collection is bulging and you want to free up some room in your house (a 1TB hard drive full of movies could save a huge amount of cubic meters in your house)....

A rooted phone allows you to access or modify everything present on the phone. It gives a complete privilege to fully control your phones entire system. From being able to remove bloatware to flashing a custom ROM, you can get to do all these when you root your device. Here, we’ll Root Moto Z (griffin) smartphone and install TWRP v3.1.1-0 custom recovery. All thanks to the Teamwin and Chainfire for the root and TWRP files....

You can also say “Alexa, add carrots, onions and garlic to my shopping list” – you don’t have to have to make a request for each individual item. It’s also possible to add to the list in the Alexa app, but it’s in the app where it’s most convenient to see the whole list rather than asking “Alexa, what’s on my shopping list?” and waiting for her to read through it, though that is certainly convenient if you need a hands-free (or eyes-free) alternative....

Although at this stage you cannot take a 360-degree performing photo within Facebook itself, you can use panoramic photos taken from your smartphone or use a third-party app and upload these.

Despite the fact that it’s never pointed out to players, there is a way to track the progress of each tomb challenge without going to each individual tomb door (yes, that’s what we did for a day before we realised!). It’s simple – here’s how. For more on EA’s big title for 2019, take a look at the best Javelin you can pick, how to clean your javelin and of course, our Anthem review....

Windows does a great job of removing programs, but sometimes it can be slow and traces can be left behind. In such cases it can be preferable to use a separate uninstaller utility.

Drawn from across Spider-Man’s comics history, there are some deep cuts here, referencing alternate timelines, different characters, and temporary power sets. Most exciting of all for a lot of people will be that two of the suits are drawn directly from the recent MCU films, including the high-tech Iron Spider suit from Avengers: Infinity War, which was one of the pre-order bonuses for the game. It won’t take much time in the game for most people to get access to Spider-Man’s suit from Homecoming and Captain America: Civil War – known as the Stark Suit in-game – as it unlocks at just level 10....

The first thing you need is a tablet, of course, loaded with a teleprompter app and your script, which we will come to in more detail below. Once you’ve downloaded your app of choice and loaded up your perfectly worded script, the next step is to either buy or build a mount that’ll attach to your DSLR or video camera. This allows you to read your script while looking directly into the camera and maintain eye contact with the audience at home, helping to show confidence and engage the viewer....

The Gear Fit, reviewed, is a great-looking fitness tracker and smart watch, but Samsung has restricted it to working with only 17 or so of its own smartphones and tablets. See best smart watches That means you’re unlikely to buy it if you don’t already have one of them. Fortunately, there’s a workaround which allows you to pair the Bluetooth band with a non-Samsung Android device, and we’ll show you how it’s done....

At this year’s CES technology show, the firm is likely to announce a raft of products across a number of different areas. The firm said it will introduce “the latest products and technology in 4K UHD, Hi-Res Audio, Digital Imaging and Mobile.” We can expect TVs, cameras, Xperia mobile products and Hi-Res related gadgets like headphones. We wouldn’t be surprised to see new wearable products too as this is set to be a key area for CES this year – even though it recently launched the SmartWatch 3 and SmartBand Talk....

The latest leaks suggest that Oppo will unveil three phones during the global launch event, but curiously that won’t include a regular Find X3 – a phone now believed to be a China exclusive, if it exists at all. Still, the three phones we are getting sound exciting enough. Here’s how, when, and where to watch Oppo unveil all three live this morning. When is the Find X3 launch? Oppo has confirmed that the Find X3 launch event will take place today, Thursday 11 March, at:...

It’s not, admittedly, the most portable of budget laptops – we weighed it at 2.6 kg, rather than the 2.5 kg quoted by HP, and it measures 24.7 mm thick. That’s now big and heavy even for a 15.6-inch screen model with built-in DVD drive, so the Pavilion 15 TouchSmart may be better suited to spending more of its time at home or in the office. It’s well equipped for both work and entertainment, though....

The company’s “HTC J” phone will be available from mobile phone operator KDDI, the country’s second largest, from late next month. It also supports a nationwide WiMAX network, to which it can tether up to eight other devices.

The handset is the first to come out of a partnership that HTC and KDDI officially announced in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, aimed at developing phones specifically for the Japanese market....
