Root OnePlus 3

How to Root the OnePlus 3 (Video)

The OnePlus 3 is an amazing phone. Slick metal design, 6GB of RAM (not a typo and more than a PC in my house has), and a clean version of Android that just flies. Best of all? All of this is only $399 factory unlocked from OnePlus’ site. Now, even though it’s a great phone, there is always room for improvement. One such way to improve an Android phone is to root it. If you root the OnePlus 3, you’ll get access to root-only apps in the Play Store, be able to flash a custom recovery and even flash custom […]

How to Root the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2015)

Samsung Galaxy J2 is one of the phones that Samsung has launched in its J lineup of budget smartphones. Since it’s a budget Android smartphone, it’s not the top of the line with hardware, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great device (it does have that Super AMOLED display that Samsung is famous for after all). If you aren’t satisfied with what you have on the phone, however, might want to root the Galaxy J2. With root access you’ll be allowed to remove the existing stock apps from your phone, add new apps that require root access, flash a

Root HTC 10

How to Root the HTC 10 (Video)

To the best of my knowledge, the HTC 10 is the only phone that remains under warranty even if its bootloader is unlocked. That means, you can go ahead and unlock the bootloader and do whatever you want on your phone – as long as you aren’t damaging it – and it’ll still remain covered by the warranty. It’s the flagship phone of the year by the Taiwan based company that’s been releasing some really nice phones in its One series in the past few years. The phone has full metal body, is 9mm thick, and has BoomSound for your music.

Fix Issue OnePlus 3

How to Fix the OnePlus 3’s Memory Management Issue

One of the biggest noticeable things about the OnePlus 3 is its RAM. The phone boasts a whopping 6GB of RAM that is much higher than all of its competitors frankly. With that much of RAM  on the phone, you can definitely expect it to provide you with some really awesome gaming experience and enhanced performance. While the phone is in the news because of the RAM amount it has, it hasn’t been without some issues related to it. For some reason, the memory management on the phone hasn’t been working as expected and so it doesn’t let you utilize the full amount

How to Jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 (Complete Guide)(Video)

So it’s finally happened. Pangu, the trusted jailbreak developer team, has a jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3. Now, it isn’t without a few caveats, the biggest draw back of which is that it is a tethered jailbreak.

Update 07/25/16: An even easier method has been released that, get this, doesn’t even require

iPhone 6 Battery Stock

How to Replace the iPhone 6 Battery (Complete Guide) (Video)

If you iPhone 6 won’t hold a charge anymore or it straight up just crapped out, it might be time to get a replacement battery. Essentially all batteries have a certain amount of charge cycles in them. When they start to get close to that number, they simply can’t work as well as they used to and eventually die. Just one of the curses of the electronic world we live in. Now, instead of buying a new phone when this happens and believing Apple when they say the battery is “non-removable”, you can actually replace it with a brand new one

Eventually it’ll happen. If you have your phone long enough, the battery life will just not be what it used to be.

It’s not the easiest thing to do but considering you can get a replacement battery for under $25 and do the work yourself in under 20 mins, it’d might just be worth it. And, hey, you get that satisfying feeling of learning a new skill

Android Wear 2.0 on Huawei Watch

How to Get Android Wear 2.0 Right Now

Google just announced the biggest update to their smartwatch operating system, appropriately called, Android Wear 2.0. The release contains a ton of new features and changes the UI pretty significantly in some respects supposedly making the device a lot more intuitive and more of a “standalone device”. From a more functional UI, to better notifications, to a keyboard on the watch face, to the ability to download apps directly to the device (instead of having bundled Wear apps that come with the “real” app you download on the phone), it’s an update that could have a significant impact on how you

Sony Xperia Mini Pro

How to Root the Sony Xperia Mini Pro

The Mini Pro was one of the successful phones from the Xperia lineup of smartphones by Sony. One of the big features the phone offered back when it was released was a QWERTY keypad for those of us who still preferred to text using the actual physical buttons rather than tapping the screen. In addition to the keyboard, it had pretty decent specs when it was released and plenty of features to get you through your daily tasks. But, it can still be further improved, and even made to run on the latest versions of Android (that it will never receive from Sony themselves) by
