I have my phone serviced by Huawei authorized repair center, quite happy with the result.  The whole process took about a week. Check if you are close to a service center at Huawei official site: https://consumer.huawei.com/ca/support/service-center/ If not, you may need to send your device in for service. While on the service center page, start an online chat session with the support agent by clicking the bubble at the right bottom corner; To replace a battery, it costs $65 + tax . The online support agent will open a ticket for you; You will receive an email from service department, requesting for invoice and pictures of your phone in 360 degree; Next you will receive the shipping label and work card in the email. Print out both and package and mail your phone by UPS. IMPORTANT: backup and factory reset your phone. Huawei uses FutureTel for repair service. You will receive an email estimation of the cost after an technician has reviewed your phone; Make online payme...

One way to organize your blog posts is to tag each post with a label, as described here , and use the Label gadget in your layout, so the posts are categorized in a list in the side bar. That is not bad, but the side bar is only visible when you have the space, usually it shows up in the desktop version, but not on the mobile/phone version. A better way is to add a horizontal menu bar, using the Page gadget in the layout. All my posts are still labeled as before. 1. Go to Layout, in Cross-Column secion, click "+ Add a Gadget"; 2. Select the Pages gadget; 3. Be default, you get the Home menu item, which shows all your post in the order as they are posted. Click "+ Add external link" to add more menu items; 4. Add the text for the menu item, and the link to the category of post grouped by a label; 5. I have just created a new menu item called "Food". Repeat step 4 to create all the menu items you need. Don't create too many,...

The most popular messaging app in Chinese is WeChat. You most likely have several groups, parents group, high school class group, university class group, dance group, etc. you name it. When you are upgrading to a new smart phone, you will probably want to keep some of these group chat history with you. Here is how to do it. This process also applies to personal chat history. Start with your old phone: Settings --> Chat --> Chat Log Migration  Here, you can migrate all by check the "Select All" in the lower left corner, or select only the chat groups you want to migrate. Now login into WeChat on the new phone, and scan the QR code. Chat logs will start migrating.  On your new phone: Hats off to the WeChat team for streamlining this process. 

Upgrade is never a trivial thing. The goal is to provide a seamless experience for all users. The new release has some awesome functionalities to offer, often revolutionary. Most users are expecting things are backwards compatible, everything they are using now should work without a problem after upgrade. Don't assume people are all coming from the previous release. Some could come from the dinosaur age! ;) And you still need to support them. Understanding the challenges, I do expect a few bumps after the upgrade. Here are the issues I have encountered while upgrading my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I appreciate the guys shared their solutions and made my life a lot easier. Hope this will be helpful for someone too. Windows Remote Desktop is not working This is the tool enabled me working from home. It cannot fail, must work! After upgrade, I can connect using remote desktop, but it crashes several seconds right after. I disabled the Audio setting as described in...

When you click a label link on a blog, a box appears at the top of your pages, "Showing posts with label ...". It looks weird and you might want to get rid of it, like me. From your blog design view, click "Template", then click the "Edit HTML" button; Ctrl-F to find this line: < b:includable id='status-message'> , click the little triangle on the left to expand the HTML; I commented out the <div> contents (in brown) and replaced it with an empty <div> tag; Save template.  That is all you need to do! If you miss the message box, you can always get it back by uncomment the HTML code. I will not miss it. 

When you have multiple posts of different interests in a single blog, you would want to organize them somehow. So far I have only found one way of doing it, using labels. First, tag your posts with different labels. From your blog design view, click Posts; Select the posts you want to group together by ticking their check boxes; On the header of the posts table, the first drop down menu has a tag symbol, that is used to create and label selected posts. Click it, then create a new label. Once you hit OK, you selected posts will be tagged with that label, which appears besides your post title. Secondly, show the posts grouped by label on your blog. From your blog design view, click Layout; Decide where you want your labels to appear. I chose sidebar-right-1. Click "Add a Widget". A widget selector window pops, scroll down to select Labels. Click the plus sign to specify the details of the labels, like giving it a name. I called mine "Interest...

This one may sounds trivial, "how hard could it be to delete a blog?", but it is not. I was expecting it appear on the "My Blog" page, beside each of the blogs, be a delete button or a drop down menu item ~ maybe a developer from Blogger will see this and make it logically happen ;) . To delete a blog: Go to "My blogs", where all your blogs are listed in the design view.  Click the blog name, then click Settings -> Other -> Delete blog. Deeply hidden, isn't it? ;)

I started this hobby by creating one blog for each of my interest areas: one for delicious pastries, one for life's little moments, and one for the dance class that I am leading. As time goes by, I found myself spending time and energy going back and forth among my blogs, both time consuming and energy sucking. Can I put them in one place? Oh, yea! A simple procedure does it. Go to "My blogs", where all your blogs are listed in the design view.  Decide which one is your main blog, that you want to merge others into. Repeat step 3 for each of the blogs.  Click the blog name, then click Settings -> Other -> Export blog. This saves an xml file on your computer hard drive.  Click your main blog name, then click Settings -> Other -> Import blog, uncheck "Automatically publish all imported posts and pages". It is a good practice to preview all changes before publishing them. Repeat this step for each of the blogs you have exported. If all your...
