Samsung's roles out ONE UI 7 to nearly all devices

In a recent update, samsung has rolled out a software update giving mid range and low range phone users a chance to experience the new interface,  ONE UI 7. The update, initially only available for flagship phones, has finally been released to most Samsung devices. Although still with limited functionality,  Samsung A-series users can now get a taste of the interface shared by flagship phones like the galaxy s25 series. The devices still have no access to the AI functionality present in the flagships . With every update comes a disadvantage,  and for this it has been with the power consumption.  Users have reported a faster draining battery experience immediately after downloading and installing the update.  This however is not a surprise as a more complex system means more consumption.  Some recommendations to deal with this include; using dark mode,  limiting background applications,  reducing screen up time, and using adaptive brightness. ...

How to remove Write protection from a Flask disk using command prompt

When a disk is write protected, you are only left with the optio to view its content. The Flash disk becomes uneditable(readonly form)

You can clearly see that the device has free space when you view it in the list of drives in your pc but you can't access it.

For normal write protection locks, it is easy to remove. It becomes harder when your flask disk has a virus.

This guide will help you remove write protection from any flash disk in 4 or 5 simple steps.


1. Insert your flash disk to your PC. Ensure it is detected.

2. Go to your windows search page and type command prompt

3. Select run as administrator from the options listed below the app name

4. When the commn prompt window opens, type "diskpart" and press enter.

5. Type "list disk" and press enter. This displays all the disks in your system

6. A list of disks will be displayed as shown:









7. Type "select disk {number" For example  "select disk 2" if it is the disk you would like to remove write protection from. You will get a confirmation "Disk 2 is now the selected disk."

8. Type "attributes disk clear readonly" and press Enter to remove the write protection.

You will get a confirmation on successful removal of write protection. 









9. Type exit to close the command prompt window


Note: There are cases when this process fails. If that happens, use third party applications like EASEUS to format your drive and recover data.
