At the same time, you’re often running out of memory, your phone lags, and a fully charged battery only lasts a minute. Do you know when it’s time to get a new phone? Watch out for these 3 signs. 1. Your Battery Is Always Dying If you charged your phone to 100% in the morning and it runs out too ridiculously soon by noon or early afternoon your battery should probably be  replaced.

Back in June 2016, the Internet noticed that Mark Zuckerberg had tape covering his laptop camera as well as microphone and many decided to do the same, including chief of the FBI. If computer cameras are a risk, what about our mobile phone cameras? Mobile Phone Use Is More Personal and Intimate We take our mobile phones everywhere we go including the bathroom, admit it, and next to our beds when we sleep so shouldn’t we be more worried about taping up our mobile phone cameras? Mobile Cameras Can Also Be Hacked Plenty of evidence already show that computer cameras can easily be hacked, so there isn’t much to debate around whether we should tape up our computer cameras. Is that the case for mobile phones? Yes but not exactly. Mobile phone cameras can be hacked. We have seen leaked documents from Edward Snowden suggesting that the US government can and does spy on the mobile phones of world leaders, private citizens, as well as leading “more than 61,000 ha...

Cellphone Radiation: Truth or Myth? We see this question all the time: is cellphone radiation real? Should I be worried? As your Android expert, we felt we should help set the record straight. A Quick Summary Authoritative organizations all over the world like the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society, agree that cellphone use possibly exposes humans to radiation that can cause cancer, but the research results are not absolutely clear and there is room for debate. What Do We Know? Cellphones do emit radiation, but specifically low-energy electromagnetic radiation, from their antennas. Radios and television are also in this range. This is different from high-energy electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, which IS known to cause cancer. This antenna for recent models of Samsung phones are located at the base of the device, for example, and the human body can absorb this energy if close to the antenna. What Don’t We Know? Research has confirmed that ...

Have you ever been on an airplane where the pilot and flight attendants have asked all passengers to turn off their mobile phones? How does your mobile phone really affect the airplane and its risk of crashing? What do we know? Mobile Devices Can Cause Electromagnetic Interference Yes, mobile devices if turned on without being in “Airplane Mode” can cause interference for airplane communication, navigation, flight controls, and warning systems. Interference Can Distract The Pilot While mobile device signals are unlikely to single-handedly cause an airplane crash, they can make the pilot’s job difficult by being a distraction, particularly during take-off and landing. This makes the airplane unsafe and more prone to accidents in that way, according to the International Air Transport Association and Boeing engineer as reported by CNN. What should we do? Ask Your Flight Attendant Each airline is responsible for deciding which types and when a mobile electronic device is s...

Do you use your phone before sleeping? In bed and in the dark? Then you should pay attention, we break down the facts vs. fiction for you below! What Do We Know? Fact: If you look at it too closely you risk becoming near-sighted, and nearsightedness is related to other damages like glaucoma and retinal detachment. According to eye experts interviewed by BBC News, smartphone damage on the eyes is caused by "the combination of not blinking enough and bringing the device closer than you normally look at objects." When we strain our eyes like this, we risk developing nearsightedness, or myopia, the condition where you need to wear glasses, contacts, or have your eyes surgically corrected. This connection has been noted by Optometry and Vision Science researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and scientists even estimate that “one-third of the world’s population—2.5 billion people—could be affected by nearsightedness by the end of this decade.”  ...

     The first of such stories appeared in 2007 when a man was injured and killed by his exploding cellphone. The latest report was earlier this year, wherein two separate incidents, exploding cell phones seriously injured a 9-year-old boy in India, and a 21-year-old man in the United Kingdom.  Is this myth or truth?                    Turns out, it’s true but it’s very rare. What Do We Know?       Reports of cell phone explosions are usually caused by a battery in the cell phone. When Lithium-ion battery is physically damaged, overcharged or overheated, it could catch fire or explode. If there is a short in the electrical circuitry, the battery could also overcharge, overheat, and catch fire or explode as well.     What Can We Do To Prevent This Risk?                              ...
