    What game controller do you use with your Android?

    I use the SteelSeries Stratus XL, and it's the best bluetooth controller I've found. Solid build that feels really comfortable in my hands. Also works for Windows, so I can use it to play Rocket League, which is a huge plus for me! It's on the pricier side, but it's a really solid controller...

    Early impressions of Google Assistant

    Since getting my Pixel I've been eagerly playing around with everything Google Assistant can do. Not having Android Auto in my car, I've most enjoyed it for the convenience of calling up directions, finding the nearest gas station/restaurant, and requesting music from YouTube. While it's super...

    Smart Stay: Did you turn it on, and why or why not?

    For those that aren't familiar with Smart Stay, it's the feature on Samsung phones that uses the front-facing camera to detect when you're looking at your phone so your screen never goes dark as long as you're looking at it. Been reading about this feature on the older Samsung device forums and...

    Galaxy S4 dropped, how can I get my pictures from this damaged phone?

    Re: galaxy s4 dropped Best tip for water damage to your phone is to immediately turn it off and put it into a bag of rice (uncooked, obviously) as it does a good job of absorbing the water. If you tried to use it immediately after it took the plunge, you may have done some damage to your...

    My iPhone charger will not work unless I bend it. What could the problem be?

    I've had this issue before and it ended up being caused by built-up pocket lint in the charging port. I've also recommended it to other friends who were suspicious at first, but it did the trick for them too. 1. Back up your phone to iCloud or your computer, just to be safe. 2. Power down the...

    Why is a 6' cord only $1 at Walmart?

    As tempting as it might be to go with the $1 option (and I've done it all the time when I've forgotten/lost my charger and am in a pinch), the downsides are that it is very obviously a knock off product, which means that it's not specifically designed for your phone and therefore may or may not...
