Don’t Throw Your Old Phone Chargers in the Trash No charger lasts forever. At some point, you may notice nothing happens when you plug the cable into your smartphone. Maybe you can even see the wires poking out. But even if you treat your cables perfectly, there’s the chance your next phone won’t even support it. Read more…

LPT Request: How to get my phone to stop spying on me? It is no secret anymore that our phones are listening to us. Have a conversation with someone about a very random topic, and the next day you’re seeing ads for it on your phone. Is there a way (On iPhone) to get your phone to stop hearing you? Also, lots of apps obviously share information with each other. I will Google search something, and the…

What was your favorite phone you owned? Spec wise phones are always improving but there were times when a certain release felt something special. For me it was the HTC One M8. submitted by /u/OneMetalMan

Should i buy a camera or use my phone ? I feel like there’s not enough gap between a phone and a camera (at least for a beginner) to put 1000$ on one, (XT-3, A6400, or even a griii). I was searching for a pretty compact camera. I know that cameras have better ergonomics, most of them interchangeable lenses and better images in low light or even in general. You also have more parameter…

Samsung should really release a cheaper s-pen phone Okay, since the note series died, the only way to have s pen is the s2x ultra. That phone though costs 1400€+. That’s a lot of money and it’s also very big and heavy. Before that we had note 10 lite, note 10, note 20 etc. These phones were kinda smaller and cheaper. I think Samsung should release a phone with s-pen and a smaller price for people…

Camera versus phone Hi, I love taking pictures on holidays. I always use my phone, which is currently a Samsung S21 Ultra. The pictures always come out really well. If I buy a mid-range camera (nothing crazy) and I have no idea how to “tune” it and just always use the same settings basically as I would on a phone, would the pictures come out better than the phone o…

I tried to take a photo of the moon (with my phone) and it turned out really weird, can someone explain? So, like the title says, today I tried taking a photo of the moon with my phone (iPhone 11 if that helps anything). I did have this timer thingy on (I‘m not sure how it‘s called) for 2 seconds where it like takes the photo for multiple seconds, not actually a timer, and I didn’t realise it, so I moved my phone before the photo was actually done….

Android phone companies should charge a fee to bring your old phone up to date after 3 years. It’s not as good as Apples solution, but with how fragmented Android is, it’s probably the best option forward. TLDR: benefits include better environmental impact, less depreciation, options to use an older phone that fits your needs better than a current phone could, and there is no current limit for modern phones to be limited on software, it’s entirely limited to get you to upgrade. Also, this way you can choose if you want to upgrade your software exp…
