What is a Virus "A phone virus is a type of virus specifically adapted for the cellular environment and designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another."  So basically,a virus is more or less a program that spreads from one phone to another and is capable of causing harm to the phone(or host)in which it resides.  Viruses are the major cause of phone slowdown,which we talked about in this post .

Wireless charging has been around for a while now,and many phone manufacturers(including Apple,of late) use it in their phones as a USP to the phone. But sadly,this kind of tech doesn't usually make it to the low end segment of the market. But in this post,I'll show you how to add wireless charging to any phone(except feature phones). Before we dive in,we need to gain a proper understanding of what wireless charging is. Also known as 'Inductive Charging',is a type of charging which uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects through electromagnetic induction. In other words,the wireless charging pad and compatible phone need to be in contact with each other for it to work. It makes use of an inductor coil within the wireless charging pad to create an electromagnetic field, and another coil in the device takes the power from the electromagnetic field and converts it to electric current,which then charges the phone. Now that we know what wirele...

The fact that people take a lot of photos on their smartphone is nothing new. In fact,many manufacturers now make phones which emphasize the camera as the main selling point of the phone. The Infinix Zero 4, Camon CX ,HOT S,many phones from many manufacturers emphasize on taking great shots. But many people do not know how these cameras work. So,I'll explain. There are six basic steps in taking photos on a smartphone camera. They are: 1. The user (or smartphone) focuses on the object. 2. Light enters into the lens.(light is everything on photography) 3. The arpeture controls how much light enters into the lens. 4. The shutter determines how long the sensor is exposed to light 5. The sensor captures the image 6. Post processing takes place in the software of the phone. There may also be some noise reduction. Since most of the machines that do this are relatively simple machines,they all follow the laws of physics. Now,in smartphones,some problems will arise. These problems ...

Many of us(I think all of us)nowadays use smartphones. But there is a problem. The lifespan. Some of us who can spare lots of Clement Isiongs and Alhaji Aliyu Mai Bornus tend to buy a phone and change it within the space of a year. Some decide to use theirs for 2 years,and some can go on using one for as long as 3-4 years(my sister still has an iPhone 5s,I wonder when change would come). The truth of the matter is that as no phone is perfect,they tend to fall apart with constant use. The battery gets weaker,some pixels die in the screen,the processor speeds reduce,and etc,etc. So,here's how to prolong the lives of your smartphones. 1. NEVER charge it overnight I know that a smartphone is capable of switching its power source to the incoming current when its battery is full,but this is no reason why you should leave it overnight. If your phone is dead and you need power the next day,and you can't wait,charge your power bank instead. Most of us have one thanks to...

Most manufacturers nowadays push out devices with special methods of fast charging. OnePlus is on top of this food chain,charging a dead battery to 70% in just 30 minutes. That's called Dash Charge.™ Samsung implements Qualcomm Quick Charge,Oppo uses VOOC,Huawei uses Super Charge,and so on. The problem with most of these is efficiency. If you bought a phone from any of the above named manufacturers and it came with that type of feature,you'd want it to last forever. But it won't. So here are some reasons why your phone which formerly used to charge quickly now moves along at a snail's pace: 1. Your USB Cable is bad For those of us still using Micro USB,you'd notice that on the end of the cable which you plug into your phone,there are two things like hooks. If these things bend,your phone is likely to charge slower. This is because those things are put there to hold the phone in a specific position that allows current to pass through quickly. If those things flat...
