TBH ...our smart phone batteries tend to fail eventually because of different factors...especially the aspect of charging. Most lithium-ion batteries, used by major retailers like Samsung and Apple , should last between three and five years, follow these tips; USING OFF-BRAND CHARGERS DESTROY BATTERIES; Off-brand chargers, while not optimal, are fine. It's knockoffs you should avoid. Don't go for cheap brand knockoff chargers when you can at least purchase inexpensive, off-brand chargers (as long as they're made by legitimate retailers, such as Belkin and KMS). The folks at Lifehacker ran a detailed experiment in which they pitted official chargers against knockoffs and off-brand models. The results showed that off-brand chargers, though obviously not as good as the official thing, work just fine. Knockoffs barely even get the job done. YOU SHOULDN'T USE YOUR PHONE WHILE IT CHARGES; Use it all you want, as long as you're not using a sketchy third-party charger. There are scary reasons behind this myth. People believe that using a phone while charging will make the phone explode, or electrocute the user. That actually happened to a Chinese flight attendant named Ma Ailun in July 2013, when she used her iPhone 4 while it was charging. However, reports say it's because Ailun was using a third-party charger, not an original Apple charger. If you're using the manufacturer-approved charger and battery, you should be fine. CHARGING YOUR PHONE OVERNIGHT KILLS THE BATTERY; Your phone is smarter than you think. Once it's fully juiced up, it knows to stop charging . That means the battery isn't even in use at all. However, that doesn't mean you should be charging your phone all night, every night. You wouldn't fill a cup with water if it was already full, would you? Your battery life will last longer if you keep your phone charged between 40% and 80%. YOU NEED TO TURN YOUR PHONE OFF — Sometimes; Your phone may be a machine, but it still needs to take a few breaks. An Apple Genius said that in order to maximize battery life, you should turn off your phone from time to time, especially when you go to bed at night. At the very least, Apple experts recommend turning your phone off once a week in order to preserve battery life. Turning off your phone is important for Android devices as well. A simple reboot can help restore battery life. DON'T CHARGE YOUR PHONE UNTIL IT'S COMPLETE DEAD; It's better to charge your phone every day than to do a " deep charge" from time to time. Lithium-ion batteries, like the kind used in Samsung and Apple products fare better when they're charged. If you constantly let them drain to 0%, they become unstable. Your battery has a finite number of charge cycles, and every time it fully dies, that's another cycle out the window. TEMPERATURE OF PHONE; The surface of your smartphone acts as a heat sink, allowing the device to remain at a safe operating temperature. If external factors, or an internal fault, prevent the phone from cooling itself effectively, it will go into protect mode. If this happens iPhone users may see the message "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it". Overheating damages the battery and leaves it is less capable of holding charge in future. Never leave your smartphone in a hot car, or on the hob, obviously. This is absolutely true. Heat and tech don't generally go hand-in-hand, and that's no different with phone batteries. Lithium-ion batteries heat themselves , and get hotter while they're being charged. Cold weather can also have a negative impact on a phone's life, and a cold battery will die faster than usual in low temperatures. Your phone will be safe if you keep it within its recommended temperatures; Apple says 32 degrees Fahrenheit is the lowest recommended temperature for an iPhone's environment. Samsung, on the other hand, guarantees its phones can function anywhere between -4 and 122 degrees. I HOPE THIS HELPS.... 2 Likes |

greenhulk:the idle drain you are talking about is basically caused by Google and the culprit is Google Play service. That's not Samsung doing but for a an experienced user there are ways to kill those service without undermining the performances of your device. E.g by running Google play service debloat script created by urself that's if you know what u are doing or by using an app called "disable service" you identified those service and you disabled them. Of course you need the knowledge, that's why it's called an android. On my own phone here (s7 edge) i have zero idle drain. If I leave my device at 75% to sleep I wake up to see 75%. Apple have their OS to them, I don't expect them not to optimize it. Idle drain might a issue for the weak but not for those who are versatile. 1 Like |

For the First time and that may sure be the last. What does google know about PC? The problem with Google is they want to be everywhere more like a jack of all trades. Instead of concentrating on one section and building it they'd rather venture into any perceived thriving field and become a player. Fine, it's a competitive world, but you don't have to pitch your tent in every quarter where you see people excelling, it's called greed. Watch and see how their new "Duo" platform will fail.. They want to compete with Apple FaceTime but let's see how far they can go. Instead of them to develop their Android OS and clean up that garbage filled play store they are busy gallivanting everywhere like blind bats. There's a popular saying about Playstore; Dig through the Trash to get Gold", meaning you have to search through tons of useless apps to get the app you want. Soon and very soon most of their OEMs will turn their backs on their buggy Android, maybe by then reality will have dawned on them. But I hope it won't be too late for them. 1 Like |

Are people still on about this iOS vs Android argument. Variety is the spice of life fellas. Both have their drawbacks obviously. iOS keeps you in a well protected, but limited cage, while Android gives you liberty to go where ever the hell you want, with reasonable risk of course. In the case of OEM's both Samsung and Apple lift from each other. Only a biased fanboy would say otherwise. My only grouse with Samsung tho, is that they load their flagships with a lot of unnecessary garbage functions *coughs* heart rate monitor *cough*. And they churn out too many goddamn phones, it gets confusing at times deciding what to get. Apple on the other hand gives you just 2 options( at least since 2014) either you get a big one or a smaller sized phone, which is pretty neat in my opinion. Although I still can't fathom the essence of the iPhone SE, that phone was bound to flop from the get go. Phew!! I'm tired of typing |

ollah1: Speaking from a neutral point of view, it is actually expected that Chromebooks outsell mcbooks. I mean Hyundai sonata will always outsell Ferrari California, and toyota corolla will always outsell anything bentley release all together. Pure water satchet will always outsell Eva bottle water. Where am I driving at? Apple mcbooks are all premium laptops while Chromebooks are low- mid range low powered PCs. A mcbook costs between $1,200 up to $5,000 while a Chromebook costs between $250-$400. On the average 8 Chromebooks sold is equivalent to 1 mcbook. About 2 million units of chrimebooks were sold in the first quarter of this year while apple sold about 1.7 million mcbooks. I was actually expecting Chromebooks to well more.. This is still a win for Apple. 2 Likes |

Cathony: I have a friend who changed his twice buying using protective screens. He doesn't like it but the cost of changing the screen made him use it. He is presently.on the third screen protector. I have loads for them with damaged screens I'm still using the first screen protector I bought and it's doesn't cover the edges cos the phone wasn't available in Nigeria when I bought it and the edge screen sounded alien to them. IPhone 6 and 6 plus users should be watchful of screen disease plaguing their phones. 1 Like

Re: iPhone 6S: Honest Review by Bossmd: 7:52pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
mykel20: The fans begged Apple for a 4" version. It's evidenced on Apple forum. They wanted a feel of the old iPhone 4 and 5. Apple had to heed their demand and made it for them. Yes, you are one of those that don't see the need for it, but those that called for it have bought it and are happy with it already. Talk about strokes for different folks. People were complaining that Apple didn't care about their customers opinions, and now they proved and showed they cared by revisiting an extinct form factor, yet you are still complaining. If you don't like the 4" pick the 4.7" and if you still want something bigger the 5.5" is up for grabs. Mind you the same iPhone SE you are complaining about actually sold out beyond Apple's expectations after its release 1 Like |

ollah1:That's interesting. But you realise that was just for the first quarter of 2016, don't start popping the champagne yet. When apple upgrades its pro and air lines of macbook then we can begin to crunch numbers. BTW A shitload of companies make chrome books vs Only Apple. But tbh those chrome books are kinda shitty, I mean they rely heavily on the internet to function. They still don't have enough offline apps. I don't own one tho. I've only used a friend's, ironically she has a macbook air also. lol 1 Like |

Bossmd:I guess you're right, but you'd agree with me that majority of people who use 4 inch phones are elderly folks who don't upgrade often and they are in the minority. True, the iPhone SE wasn't a major release, so who really cares right? |

ollah1: Can u just for once stop being a fanboy and reason with a free mind. This is not about Android vs ios... It is about reality. Mcbooks have been around since 2006 while the first consumer chromebook was released in 2011. Mcbooks have been popular especially in the USA before chromebook was born and it took another 2-3 yrs before people actually started giving chromebook a chance. Bro, it was a matter of time before chromebook start outselling mcbooks, not because chromebook are better but because they are cheaper. The price of one mcbook will buy 5 or more chromebooks. So it is very easy for elementary schools to provide chromebooks for studies than mcbooks. Also it is easier for youths and adults to keep their mcbook in the office or at home and use chromebooks on the go for light works. Mcbooks are premium products, chromebooks are not. Toyota will sell more corolla than lambourghi. Go to the market and try to sell Eva bottle water and pure sachet water... I'm sure u will sell a full bag of pure water before u sell one Eva water. 2 Likes |

Very few millenials would willingly buy a 4 inch phone in 2016, that's the truth bruh. What makes you think that it was solely because of online forums that Apple reintroduced the 5S design? There are other ways of conducting surveys you know. And of course they would equip the iPhone SE with newer internals, I would have been shocked if they didn't, its a no brainer 1 Like |
