I always get really excited whenever I see a manufacturer who embraces rooting and understands that it doesn’t harm them. The phone has already been paid for – their money has been made – and that so long as they include a warning about potentially voiding the warranty (and that […]
It’s that time again. A new iPhone has been released and that means two things —it’s time to sell your current iPhone to get some money to help pay for the new one, or it’s a good time to look on Craigslist and eBay for the older models that have
Most of you won’t be familiar with Xiaomi, even though they are the third-largest phone maker in the world, but that doesn’t mean you should immediately discount their phones. They are one of the few companies in the new made-in-China flagship phone craze along side Oppo, Meizu and Huawei. Essentially all of
The SIM-Free version of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are now on sale in the Apple Store. These versions are factory unlocked by Apple, have no SIM card, and you can use them on any GSM carrier in the world (and Verizon). So, finally, anyone looking to not have
One of the things that I was clearly excited about Microsoft finally doing, was the dock that allows you to plug in your new Windows 10 phone into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and allow you to use it like full-blown Windows –start screen and all. Even though Microsoft demoed the
There have been a bunch of rumors and “leaks” about a new OnePlus phone coming out on the heels of the relatively just released OnePlus Two. Today, however, the FCC had a filing from the company dubbed the ONE E1005 and it’s most likely the device everyone has been yammering
There was a lot of info to process at Microsoft’s event yesterday. From three phones, a new Surface, a new Microsoft Band, more info on the Hololens, and even a surprise laptop (Microsoft’s first ever). While there, I managed to ask as many questions about the new tech as possible,
Android 6.0 aka Marshmallow was finally announced at Google I/O last week and now, as per the usual, it’s available as a flushable image on Google’s website for all their Nexus devices. Essentially there are two ways to upgrade your phone to Android Marshmallow, you can wait for the OTA
Oh, people that still call other people… Don’t you know by now that no one calls anyone? Text me, email me, even ping me on Twitter, but actually dial me? Hold the phone. The only time I should ever get a phone call, is if whatever it is that needs to
Perhaps you’re done playing with root and custom ROMs on your Motorola Moto X Style or perhaps you need to sell the device and get it back to stock? Regardless of the reason, it’s pretty easy to unroot your device and usually involves just flashing the stock firmware from the
Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device. Once we root our Android device, we can then make changes to it to customize it well beyond what it normally can do. Once you root the Motorola Moto X Style, you’ll be able to: Remove apps that
So I’ve gone over why you would want to root the OnePlus Two but there are some reasons to undo that should you need. From sending it in for warranty, to selling it and wanting to get it all back to stock for the next owner, to just wanting to
With all the leaks coming out about the new Nexus devices, you’d be pressed to wonder what else could possibly be left to know. Well, plenty it seems. But instead of droning, like some publications on where this “financially puts Google” or “how this will affect the market”, I figure
The original OnePlus One was the first device to be loaded with CyanogenMod, a popular third-party developer’s ROM, directly from the manufacturer. This is as opposed to the way we used to just flash CyanogenMod ourselves on the device we had regardless of what ROM came on it from the
After all the hype the OnePlus One caused and the, not particularly large, but damn-loyal fanbase they achieved, they finally just launched a successor: the OnePlus Two. Just like with the OnePlus One the idea was to put higher end specs in a device while keeping the price tag a
