Believe it or not there are still plenty of Galaxy Note 7 devices out in the wild. In fact there are about 15% of Note 7 users actively using the device. We have been hearing murmurs that Samsung will send out an update to cripple the battery on the device in an attempt to protect Galaxy Note 7...

The Nexus 6P finally has a build of Nougat, but we are starting to see why it may have taken so long to get this build out. It appears that the Nexus 6P may be having some battery issues on the new update. There is a video which showcases the specific issue. After taking a few pictures the...

When I first turned on my Pixel XL one of the first frustrations was the fact that it wasn't very obvious as to how to enable the battery percentage. I actually had started to search for a root mod since I couldn't find the option in my settings. My good friend @BaneTech decided to shed some...

Hi, new here, so I hope this is the correct forum since I couldn't find one for the Nexus 4 specifically. For a few weeks now, my Nexus 4 has occasionally lost the connection to the sim card. It won't have any connection to a network (indicator in the status bar is an empty outline) and a few...

Aukey has made a name for themselves over the past several years as being a leader in high quality power and charging solutions for smartphones and tablets. Their 20,000 mah battery portable charger upholds this same standard in quality. It is able to charge two tablets at the highest charge...

The Note 7 has been cancelled as we all know. Now that the device has been discontinued it is the main concern of Samsung to determine what exactly caused the Note 7 to catch fire. The investigation has revealed that Samsung has only tested their batteries in house. Companies like Apple and...

The hits just keep coming for Samsung. After a mass recall of Note 7 devices around the world Samsung confirmed that Chinese variants were not affected by the battery defect that caused the company to issue a $1billion recall covering more than a million units. Now that more than 60% of new...

A few days ago Samsung announced that they would be using the same battery supplier that supplied batteries for the Chinese versions of the Note 7. Early this morning reports of exploding Note 7 devices in China started to roll in. The initial worry was that somehow Samsung's new battery...

Last week Samsung announced they would no longer be using their sister company Samsung SDI as a battery source for the Note 7 going forward. With no battery supplier it was expected that we may have to wait a while for replacement phones. Sources say that Samsung has made a decision on the new...

In a Q&A posted to Samsung's UK website Samsung has decided to provide some details in regards to what exactly is causing the Note 7 battery to explode. They aren't exactly calling this a recall. When asked "Is this considered a recall?" Samsung answered, "Although this is isolated to a battery...

If it hasn't been made clear to you by now using a Note 7 is very risky. Reports of exploding devices keep flooding in. Cars have caught fire as well as houses. Individuals have been injured. You should in no way be considering keeping your device if it is affected by the recall. The only phones...

Now that it is clear that all 2.5 million Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices that have been sold thus far are at risk of exploding the question remains why exactly are they at risk? So far we have not officially heard from Samsung regarding the findings of their investigation. We have only heard that...

Maybe the reason we have not seen the cell phone battery advance like we wish it had is because as battery tech gets better and user interfaces get less resource intensive hardware just seems to get worse and worse. Consumers are even starting to push manufacturers to include 4k screens even...

Back in the day of plastic back covers and removable batteries there existed ungodly "Extended Batteries". These batteries turned your phone into an absolute BRICK as if phones back in the day were not already thick and bulky. I can remember my Droid Bionic came with a 1860mah battery. This was...

The latest innovation in battery tech for smartphones has not been in the battery itself, but rather in the speed at which it that battery charges. OEMs have also increased battery sizes to try to improve battery life which has worked out pretty well. Most modern smartphones with some sort of...

LG has really distinguished themselves among the pack with the modular design of the LG G5. The removable battery is awesome, but the modular design can offer much more. LG already has a camera+battery add on, VR add on, and 360 camera add on. They also just teased a whole list of crazy add...

LG's first TV ad shows a guy inserting the swappable battery into his LG G5. In the video it appears that the LG G5 battery is "hot swappable". The phone apparently boots up and the whatever video was being watched is instantly watchable again. The truth is that you would have to wait for the...
