    Game Pad Moto Mod

    Follow up to the article. I have a Switch but I'd still buy this. The Moto GamePad, coming this summer for $80 (roughly £60 or $AU110), looks like a no-brainer -- not to mention a clever use of the easy-on, easy-off nature the magnetic mod system. It works with the new Moto Z2 Play, as well as...

    Tumi Style Pack draining battery?

    This could all be in my head. I was using the stock back cover and a bumper but recently go the Tumi Style Pack. For the past few days, I've noticed my battery draining quicker. I haven't sat down to actually calculate % per hour yet. Could the Style Pack be blocking cell signal, causing my...

    Mod or No Mod for Daydream

    Sorry but this is incorrect. In both modes, the battery mod trickle charges the main battery. For example, the phone uses 150 mah, the mod replaces that 150 mah. The phone doesn't pull from the mod instead of the main battery. Try this, set your battery mod to efficiency mode. Let it get down to...

    Incipio OffGrid Power Pack

    When I got my Incipio, I left it on all the time for about two weeks. Then I went to an event where I knew I wouldn't be using my phone so I switched to the style shell. Forgot how light the phone is without the power pack. Now I just use my slim Poetic case and leave the power pack and bumper...

    Incipio vs. Mophie Battery mods... Which is better?

    I personally charge as a single device. I'm not 100% sold on wireless charging but have a battery with wireless charging because it was on sale. That being said, I could totally see the use case for just simply placing the battery on the wireless charging pad when not in use.

    Incipio vs. Mophie Battery mods... Which is better?

    Do yourself a favor and physical check both out first. The Mophie is noticeably bigger and heavier than the Incipio. For the most part, I don't even like having my Incipio mod attached unless I know I wont be near a charger.

    Incipio Battery Mod

    It's a myth. Heat kills battery life. Supposedly the longer its on a charger, the more heat is generated. The claim of charging it from "40%-80%" is supposed to put less stress and heat on the battery. There's little difference in stress and heat charging from 20%-60% then from 60% to 100%.

    Going to 0 on your battery mod

    Showing 0% on your phone (or mod) doesn't necessarily mean your battery is at 0 capacity. Smart designed OS's will tell you have 0% left in order to preserve the life of your battery (from sitting at 0%). I remember letting my old Nokia 3390 die and testing the battery at work. Surprised that it...

    Mophie Juice Pack Moto Mod 3000 mAh

    Re: New Battery Mod: Mophie Juice Pack 3000 mah Verizon IDK...25% more battery and you get a USB-C port...but it is heavier and you lose wireless charging. All things equal, I'm not sure I want the extra weight over my Tumi. I mean, I'll still probably buy one, but still...

    Daydream VR works great

    How's gaming on it? I'm on the fence about getting it.

    Mophie battery mod

    Yeah the USB-C addition is nice but I'm sure it comes with added thickness (along with supporting a higher cap battery)

    And unfortunately you'll get the haters that say "why would VZW/Lenovo release a FW with so many bugs!"

    Does it annoy you how all the reviews say Lenovo not Motorola?

    I kid you not, snakes popping out of random places keeps me up at night. Like opening your toilet only to see Mr. Snake poking his head through. I remember reading a news story on that 20 years ago and quickly learned how to speed poo.

    Does it annoy you how all the reviews say Lenovo not Motorola?

    What I worry about: - World Hunger and Disease - ISIS - Domestic terrorism - Getting shanked - That we are doomed for four more years - Snakes in my shoes before I put them on So no, reviews saying my phone is Lenovo and not Motorola does not annoy me. Lenovo bought Motorola and it might still...
