    Can someone help me figure out how fast Quick Charge 2.0 is?

    I'm using a device that supports Quick Charge 3.0 and the charging is amazing. Right now I'm thinking about buying a power bank. The one I'm planning on buying supports 2.0. And I would like to ask for a favor. Can someone who uses Quick Charge 2.0 powerbank, or a charger (and a phone that...

    Is there an app that auto corrects date stamps for photos?

    I'm really sick of Android's new media protocol. It's really getting on my nerves. When I copy or move something to my device's memory it changes all the dates (created, modified etc.) to the time I copied or moved the file. This never happened on my older phone which had KitKat. My new phone...

    How exactly is Greenify different from task killers?

    I really don't understand the idea behind "hibernation" because what Greenify does on my device is just forcing stop the apps that are running in the background. Which I guess is actually what all the task killers do. What is hibernation exactly and how is it different from task killers? Is it...

    How much battery should Android use?

    I've always seen people complaining about Android OS and Android System using too much battery. Don't get me wrong, I am one of them. In a %100 battery usage, Android OS + Android System is usually around %25 percent. Whereas the screen is around %40. The rest is app usage and such. I still feel...

    How do they measure "videoplay time" for battery life and how can they be true?

    I was looking at some phone specs, in which I've seen some amazing, unbelieveable battery life specs. Not just in one of them, but every single one of them. And that's the videoplay time spec. From what I hear and read, I know that even 7-8 hours of just screen on time would be surprising to a...

    Buzzing sound while shooting a video

    I've just recently discovered this issue. When I look at my older videos that I've shot there isn't any annoying sound but recently it started. For instance, this video right here, I don't know how to describe it but it sounds like there's a car engine inside my phone...

    How to downgrade your screen resolution?

    My smartphone has a full HD screen resolution and it consumes more battery, as you know. I really don't care about visual quality that much and I would rather have just standart HD and consume less battery while the screen is on. Is it possible to downgrade my screen resolution (preferably...

    Phone is awake without even any internet connection

    I can understand when there's an internet connection most of the apps will try to sync their data and all but, what could a phone possibly do for hours, without any internet connection, without any low signal to keep the phone awake? If phones had hard drives I would say defragmanting etc but...

    How to measure battery drain in realtime, per drainer?

    I would like to know what exactly is causing that battery drain and when it's listed from the past it's complicated. For instance, AccuBattery and Ampere shows the current drain in mAH. Weird thing is, although I'm doing something completely same sometimes it goes up to about 1k, sometimes it's...

    Help What is this gadget for?

    There came a little gadget inside the box that contained my phone and... It's weird because it only has an input. On some reviews they say that this phone comes with a converter or something like that but the gadget they show is different from what I have here. As you can see here it has...

    Help Are headphone jacks actually standart?

    My phone's headphone jack is a little bit different. My previous phone didn't have any problems with headphones. But in this new phone, it's different. When I try to plug a normal earbud which doesn't have any mic/button on it it was a bit tough go plug it in. But other than that, no problem...

    How to stop the music volume from going down when there's a notification?

    This is really annoying me. I get tons of notifications from various apps and I'm usually listening something. When there's a notification, the music that I'm listening to just lowers it's volume and stays that way for like 2 seconds. And it gets really annoying when this keeps happening...

    Help What does Gmail sync do exactly?

    I know what Sync does in general. It pulls data from your device and store it on servers. Like your contacts for instance. But there is one thing that doesn't make sense to me. What is the use of Gmail Sync in the app? What does it do exactly? And there is a section to choose the days to Sync...

    Help How much data can be written on an average Smartphone storage before it dies?

    Hi, sorry if I posted this on the wrong section. The new site is a bit confusing. Anyway, I've read some articles on the internet about drives wearing out due to high usage. For instance, if I recall correctly, standart SSD's has around 100 TB's of data writing capacity before it dies. So, for...

    Help When I update apps, do they take more space?

    So let's give an example. There's an app that takes 25 mbs of storage (not including data, cache or whatever) and you go to Play Store and update. Update package is 15 mbs. When you update, does it take an extra 15 mbs of storage? Or does it delete that old 25 mb app and replace it with a new...
