How-to: ZTE Concord II: Wipe App / Phone Partition; Reboot in Safe Mode

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 03:28 AM PDT

Clearing App Cache / Data:

NOTE: In case one or more of your applications don't run as intended, freezes or crashes, then you might be able to fix these problems by clearing the app's cache. If that fails, you can also try clearing the app's data.

WARNING! Clearing an app's data will result in the deletion of all personal data stored in the app, including log in and credit card information, saved games, saved profiles, high scores etc. As such, it's recommended that you first try and clear the app's cache.

  1. While on the home screen, tap "Apps"
  2. Open "Settings"
  3. Go to "Device" and tap "Apps"
  4. Access the "All" or "Downloaded" tab
  5. Select the desired application
  6. Tap "Clear cache"
  7. If wiping the cache hasn't solved the problems, tap "Clear data" > "OK"

Wiping the Phone's Cache Partition:

NOTE: If your phone is acting up and you're consider the possibility of fixing these problems by master resetting your device, then you might want to try and solve these issues by wiping the phone's cache partition first. Unlike a master reset, when you clear the cache partition you won't lose personal data stored on the phone's internal memory. To wipe the cache:

  1. Turn off your smartphone
  2. Press and hold the "Volume Up", "Home" and "Power" buttons
  3. Release the keys when the image of an Android appears
  4. From the menu, press "Volume down" to navigate to and highlight "wipe data cache partition"
  5. Press "Power" and the device will wipe the cache
  6. Once the process is complete, "Reboot system now" will be highlighted
  7. Press "Power" to reboot your device

NOTE: If wiping the cache partition didn't solve the problems with your phone, then you might want to visit this thread for a full guide on how you can factory reset the ZTE Concord II

Safe Mode

NOTE: In safe mode all third party applications are disabled. As such, this is a great tool that can be very helpful when trying to remove an application that prevents you from uninstalling it while running, or while running processes in the background. To enable safe mode and remove an app:

  1. With the smartphone turned on, press and hold "Power"
  2. Tap the "Power" off option
  3. At the "Reboot to safe mode message", tap "OK"
  4. After the smartphones reboots, a "Safe mode" label should be displayed in the lower-left corner
  5. To uninstall an app, go to the phone's "Settings" menu
  6. Under "Device", tap "Apps"
  7. Access the "Downloaded" or "All" tab
  8. Select the desired app, and tap "Uninstall"
  9. To exit safe mode, press and hold "Power"
  10. Tap "Power off" > "OK"
  11. Hold the "Power" key to reboot your smartphone in "standard" mode

Perfect Cable: dodocool Lightning + Micro-USB Charge and Sync Cable

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 08:38 PM PDT

We never expected to give a cable an A rating. Necessary and ubiquitous, but rarely exciting, there's never been much done with any cable to make it worthy of being declared truly great. Prior to now, Scosche's smartSTRIKE has held the title, earning a well-deserved A- for its smart combination of Lightning and Micro-USB. Now, that one's been outdone by Dodocool's Lightning + Micro-USB Charge and Sync Cable.

Much like smartSTRIKE, this cable combines MFi Lightning and Micro-USB plugs into one accessory, eliminating the need to carry multiple cables to charge both an iPhone and ancillary products. At one end is a standard USB plug, and at the opposite side of a sturdy, 36-long cable, a Micro-USB plug. Attached to the plugs housing via a 1.6 long tether is a cap resembling Apples Lightning to Micro USB Adapter, only a little longer and black. Snap it into place, and the cable instantly transforms, making it capable of charging pretty much any modern handset or electronic accessory. It also carries a proper 2.4-Amp charge, meaning it wont slow down the charging speed of iPads.

At $20, Lightning + Micro-USB Charge and Sync Cable is a clean, elegant, and sturdy solution that costs less than products that do less, and has Apples official support behind it. Except for personal aesthetic desires, theres no reason to choose any other Lightning cable over this truly great option.
