You can also change the font size here also.

If you want to clear your website browser history, cache or cookies on the Lg K30 because you don’t want other people to snoop around (or you just want to clean up your list), then that is actually very easy to do. Just follow these steps:
- First, open the browser you use and look for the Menu or “More” button/icon.
- Then go to History → Clear Browsing Data.
- At the top, you will see that you can choose to delete data from a week or several months ago. You may also choose to delete everything by tapping “All Time.”
- You will see a list of data that you can tap to clear. You can clear cache, cookies, passwords, browser history and more.
- Be aware that if you delete cookies you will have to login to your online accounts again.
- Then, select browser history, then tap “Clear Data.”
This method generally works if you use Chrome on your phone. If you have multiple devices that use your Google Chrome account, you might notice that your browser history, cache and cookies are also reflected on other devices. These may get deleted too if you delete them from your phone.
If you don’t want this to happen, you can turn off sync on your device. This means that the browser history, cache, cookies, and other private data will just be removed from your phone alone.
To turn off sync on your Chrome, just follow these steps:
- Make sure you have already logged in your Google Account on Chrome.
- On Chrome, click on your Profile / Account icon (located at the top right portion).
- Look for Sync is On → Turn Off
- After this, you can delete your browser history, cache, and cookies on your phone without removing it on your other devices.
For Samsung phone users who are using the default Samsung Internet browser, you can clear your browser history, cache and cookies in a similar way to that of Chrome users. Just follow these steps:
- Open the Samsung Internet browser.
- Tap on the Menu icon.
- Go to Settings → Privacy and Security
- Scroll down to Personal Data then tap “Delete Browsing Data.”
- A list will open up and you can tap to delete other data such as cache, cookies, passwords, location data, among others.
- Select “Browsing History” then tap “Delete.”
If you are using a different browser, the steps are almost the same. The key is to look for your browser’s settings and look for the “Privacy” or “Data” section.
How to clear the cache on your Lg K30
To clear your phone’s cache, the steps are similar with that of clearing your browser history. All you have to do is click on your browser and open its Menu. For Google Chrome users, just follow these steps:
- Open Chrome and go to Menu or tap on the More (three-dotted) icon.
- Then go to History → Clear Browsing Data.
- At the top, you will see that you can choose to delete data from a week or months ago. You may also choose to delete everything by tapping “All Time.”
- You will see a list of data that you can tap to clear. You can clear cache, cookies, passwords, browser history and more.
- Just select Cache, then tap “Clear Data.”
For those who are using the default browser on Samsung phones, the steps are also similar with that of clearing your browser history:
- Open the Samsung Internet browser.
- Tap on the Menu icon.
- Go to Settings → Privacy and Security
- Scroll down to Personal Data then tap “Delete Browsing Data.”
- A list will open up and you can tap to delete other data such as cache, cookies, passwords, location data, among others.
- Select “Cache” then tap “Delete.”
If you are using a different type of browser, the steps are still quite similar. What you really have to look for is the Privacy, Data, or Security settings of your browser. Just open your browser and look for its Settings or “More” option.
How to Clear Cookies on the Lg K30

- Open Chrome and go to Menu or tap on the More (three-dotted) icon.
- Then go to History → Clear Browsing Data.
- At the top, you will see that you can choose to delete data from a week or months ago. You may also choose to delete everything by tapping “All Time.”
- You will see a list of data that you can tap to clear. You can clear cache, cookies, passwords, browser history and more.
- Just select Cookies, then tap “Clear Data.”
For those who are using the default Samsung browser, you can follow these steps:

- A list will open up and you can tap to delete other data such as cache, cookies, passwords, location data, among others.
- Select “Cookies” then tap “Delete.”
For those who are using other types of mobile browsers, the steps would be similar. Just look for the Menu then look for your browser’s Privacy, Data, or Security options.
No one likes nuisance phone calls, so here’s how to deal with these on your phone.
The first option is to block all anonymous calls, although this may block some calls from people or companies that you do want to allow, so use this carefully.
To enable this, go to your Dial App press the settings icon in the top right. Then choose Settings.
Then choose Block numbers and then Block unknown callers.
Secondly, if you’d like to block calls on a case-by-case basis, then follow these instructions:
First, wait until you’ve been called by a nuisance number. You can either answer and verify who they are, or when the phone is ringing, do a quick Google search for the number (ideally on a PC, otherwise you may need to switch between apps on your phone).
Often the number will come up on Page 1 of Google and be reported as a nuisance call number. You can often tell pretty quickly because the number will have many negative review.
Then once the phone has stopped ringing, go to your Dial App and then select Log to find the number on your recent call list.
Find the number that called you and press on it. Then in the top right, select More and select Block/unblock number.
To manage this list, then go back to the first screen of your Dial App and press the settings icon in the top right. Then choose Settings.
Then select Block numbers. From here you can see which ones to block or unblock.
From now on you will see that you received a missed call, however the phone will not ring and you won’t be bothered by the caller.
Predictive text is a great feature on modern smartphones, but sometimes you’ll prefer to correct your own mistakes.
To disable this feature, then go to Settings – General management – Language and input.
Then select the keyboard you are using and press the Settings icon again.
You should be able to find a predictive text option on this screen.
If you regularly visit a website you can add a shortcut to your home screen which can be quite useful, rather than entering the web address each time you want to visit the site.
You can either do this to an existing Bookmark, or simply a page you’re visiting:
1) Open your Browser App. Enter the website you want to bookmark. You may need to wait for the whole page to load first. Then press the phone’s Menu button or More at the top and select Add to Home screen.
2) Open your Browser App. Find an existing Bookmark by pressing the Bookmarks icon at the bottom of the App. Select the Bookmark and repeat the above steps.
There are a number of solutions to this error. Go through the following steps:
Go to Settings – Applications – Application manager.
Then find the App called Media Storage.
If you can’t see it listed, then select More at the top and then select Show system apps.
Once found, click Media Storage and then Force Close. Then select Clear Data. (warning: this will delete the cache for your media player so you may lose things such as recently played, most played etc. But you will not lose your music).
Next, go back to list of Apps and find Music Player. Again, press Force Close and then Clear Data.
Once that’s done, go to the Play Store and download an App called Re Scan Media and run it. Wait 5 minutes for the device to re-scan your media.
If you still cannot play your music, then try turning your phone off and removing your SDCard / memory card (if you have one). Then turn the phone on without the card. Then turn it off again and reinsert the card. Finally turn it on again with the card back in.
If you still can’t play music, then some users have said that there may be a conflict with the Twitter App. Try uninstalling this and see if the error persists.
To take a screenshot on your device, press the Home and Power buttons at the same time. Sometimes you may need to press the Home button first for a second, then the Power button.
Hold them together for between 1-2 seconds and you should hear a camera shutter sound.
To locate the screenshot you’ve just taken, go to your Apps and find My Files.
Then it should be under Device Storage or Internal Storage – DCIM – Screenshots.
It’s possible that they may also be found under Device Storage or Internal Storage – Pictures – Screenshots.
If you want to move the Screenshot to another folder, then long press on the file name. You should see a tick appear.
Then press the More button in the top right and select Move or Copy. Then select the destination of the screenshot.
To share or upload a video to services like Facebook or YouTube, simply go to your Video App and long press on a video.
Then select Share via. From here you will be given options to share the video with various services.
Rather than having to locate the hang up icon on the screen after each call, you can quickly end a call by pressing the Power button.
To enable this feature, go to Settings – Accessibility – Answering and ending calls.
Then under End calls by, select Pressing the Power key.
To delete or remove home screen widgets, simply press and hold. Then drag the widget to the top-right corner of the screen and into the Trash icon.
