As an event for developers on Windows and Windows still being the most popular desktop operating system, the things announced at Microsoft’s Build event have some impact. While it is a 3 day long event […]
One of my favorite things about Android is the sheer level of customization you can do. Just like any modern mobile operating system, Android allows you to download apps from an app store to get extra functionality from your device. But, unlike other operating systems, Android actually allows you to
As I mentioned in video on how to create custom vibrations on your iPhone, which you can click below to check out, collectively I think we are all getting a bit adverse to our phones making noise. But what if you noise is really the problem and you just want
Remember when custom ringtones were cool? Everyone had them and even had different ones for each contact etc. But as phones evolved and we ended up getting more and more notifications, it seems we all, maybe even subconsciously, got sick of our phones making noise. Enter the world of vibrate. Pretty
I almost didn’t do this tutorial as it seems a bit unnecessary considering we are almost on iOS 9.3 now and most people are past 9.1 I’d imagine. But, I figured maybe there are some people who are still lingering on iOS 9.1 at the moment and want to jailbreak so

One of the most expected phones to be announced a MWC this year was the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge from Samsung. Instead of making multiple variants of the S7 in size and then making Edge versions of each like they did with the S6, it seems they are
Sony wants you to try to use a different sense for your smart devices. Instead of looking at your smartwatch or smartband, why not listen instead. Essentially, this is the idea behind Sony’s new Xperia Ear device. In addition to being able to be used like any other Bluetooth headset,
You’ve rooted your phone maybe you’ve been tinkering a bit too much with your OnePlus X? Maybe you need to send it to OnePlus for warranty reasons but with root access you’re worried they’ll refuse to do the warranty repairs? If you find yourself in either of these situations, it’s
CyanogenMod is a small company that makes custom ROMs for Android devices run by a community of developers. This community and the ROMs have become hugely popular with tinkerers of their devices and when OnePlus began developing their first device, it makes some sense as to why they were tapped
The OnePlus X is OnePlus’ latest phone to hit the market and instead of going for a flagship killer, the X is aimed slightly lower (only slightly). With a quad-core processor, 3GBs of RAM, and a slick body of Onyx (seriously it’s slick), it’s still no budget phone. Yet with
