Fix: NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry error on HP 14-ac146tu windows 10 - Home SL

When I connected the laptop to the WIFI connection, the error message shown was

NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry


First Solution:

I uninstalled the driver of the wireless network adapter Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Then restarted the laptop. Actually, this solution usually works most of the time.  


After I restarted it, I connected to the WIFI connection but faced with the same problem 
--->  NetworkUX.ViewModel.SettingEntry

Second Solution:

I looked at the Add or Remove Programs Settings and saw a Broadcom Network Adapter Driver installed. I thought that this driver has a compatibility issue with the Operating System, so uninstalled it followed by the first solution so that new drivers will be installed. 

After the restart, I connected to the WiFi and it was a successful one. I surfed the internet and was able to browse some pages. But there was one small issue that I had observed.  The WiFi icon meter stayed on one bar, although I am a few meters away from the broadband router.  



It was unusual to see the icon meter like this, so I googled it and read some online forums. I found out that there were Windows Users who faced with the same problem. According to them, this only happened after they made a Windows Update.  Some said it was a bug in Windows 10. 

To solved the problem I did the following. 

First, I tried to update the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter using the automatic windows driver update but the message was "the best drivers are already installed". So my second option was to manually download the actual update in the HP website. (You just have to know the model and specifications of your laptop to be able to download the appropriate driver). After downloading, I installed it then restarted the computer, then, Voila! The icon meter was already fixed.


In cases like this, solutions may be found from online forums or blogs. It may come from the suggestion of an expert person or were shared by persons who actually experienced and were able to correct the issue. But not all solutions may work for you. You just have to try it out but be skeptical or put a little extra careful on what you are doing. 

I hope you find something interesting in this post. Thanks!

Bypass Google's Factory Reset Protection on Samsung J5

    Hi there, its been a while since my last post. I am quite busy with the past few months, that is why I haven't posted anything new. But this time, I would like to share my experience in bypassing Google's Factory Reset Protection on Samsung J5.

   A friend  approach me about a problem on her celphone. According to her, her celphone is lock. So I said ok, I will try to unlock it. I accept the job because I have already experiences unlocking android phones. You know, problems like this can be solve with hard reset or installation of stock firmwares and other methods. But this one is different. I am stuck on this.


   So I ask the owner of her google account and password because that's the solution, correct and ideal thing to do. But unfortunately she could not remember it. So I google it and do some research and find out that Samsung Phones have also implemented this kind of security mechanism similar with IPhone's.


   In my opinion, putting passwords and applying factory reset protection on your phones is great, because the moment you lose your phone or someone stolen it, they would have a difficulty accessing it because it's password protected. Now, what they will do is reset the phone but eventually they will be asked to enter the google account and password. Now, that makes the phone unusable. 

   But here's the drawback, what if you accidentally lock your phone. Then you do factory reset and the FRP lock is on and you forgot your google account and password and you are not aware of these things and it goes on and on.  
   So anyway, since the phone is entrusted to me. So I do research and watch youtube videos. I tried several solutions and finally got the right one. So here is the result. Voila!


     I also read that Samsung is continuously patching their phones against flaws and loopholes. Actually it's a battle between Samsung and hackers and one solution may not work with the other one because of the different android versions. 
  
   Now how to prevent this problem. First, write down all your accounts and passwords in a separate device or notebook. Your messenger account, facebook account, google account, yahoo account, samsung account and any other accounts and also the passwords and patterns and any security PINs you installed in your celphone.  Make sure to keep it to your self. This can be handy in times like this.  Second, if you are not sure, try googling it or ask questions from people like me. Hahahaha, just kidding. 

   Thank you for reading and I hope you have learn from this post.  BTW, I have seen people with FIVE Facebook accounts. 😃
