I'm Finally Writing a Book So I started a new project Friday, August 28th, 2015, and I'm calling it "Repairs of the Galaxy: The complete repair guide to the Samsung Galaxy S Series". The cover of the book is inspired by a text book I had in college, but I really like writing this book. As some of you know, I do work in a Cellular repair shop, I deal with Android, and iOS devices all day long, every day. So I decided, why don't I write a book, or a guide explaining how to repair these devices? I have not got a set release date yet, but just keep an eye out for it on Amazon, Google play, and more. I hope everyone enjoys reading this book! Thanks for all of the support.

LG G Flex 2 Review I've had a chance in the past to play with the LG G Flex, and now I'm reviewing the successor, the LG G Flex 2. This phone caught my eye, just as the first one did. I like the curve in this one a little better though. The feel of this phone is almost real time, or quantum. The screen is so vibrant and smooth, almost can't see any pixels at all. I've yet to find any custom ROMS for this phone yet, but I'm sure it'll get love sometime soon. The clarity on the camera is almost perfect, and gesture shot is just another "Selfie" mode cover, but it still cool. The battery does charge pretty quickly, and does in fact last a whole work day for me, but that varies with how much you text, listen to music, surf the web, or watch videos. The back buttons as always are very easy to access, still love the idea. I've been on this train since the LG G2, and I really do like the placement, as many other people complain. I'm just d

Samsung reportedly working towards 11K Screen with 3D! Recent report shows that Samsung is working in a bid to create ultra-high definition screens. The new Project; EnDK focuses on making an 11K display with 13 un-named companies and a total of $26.5 Million dollars of the governments funds.  Samsung hopes to have the prototype display by the 2018 Olympics. It is said they are also shooting for 2,250 Pixels Per Square Inch (ppi) which will have to shade less than 11,520 x 6480 Pixels.  Modern 1080P  screens are 2 Megapixels (MP), 2K are 8 Megapixels, as this one will be 74 Megapixels.  Samsung wants this display to render images so vivid it would sport an optical illusion that the consumer is viewing a 3D screen on a smartphone. Wow, I wonder where the fire is, for Samsung to want to jump to this type of display right away! I also wonder if the new Touchwiz system (or whatever they use by then) will have options to turn the resolution down, and up, and I also wonder w

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain   Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is coming out very soon, and as heard it is coming to the last gen consoles as well, and looks very good. Today I am clearing up a few questions that may be amongst anyone of us. Can I fight with my friend, to defend his FOB? Unfortunately no, No co-op, but you can fight in place of them to help them protect their base.   What can we do at our motherbases? Train, Target practice, Shower, explore, talk, fight with fellow diamond dogs, and more! You'll have to find out for yourself September first! What Features need Xbox Live Gold, and Playstation Plus? To play online you'll need both Xbox Live Gold, and Playstation Plus. FOB, and base defense can be customized while you play offline. What systems will Konami bring this game to? Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Xbox one, Playstation 4, and PC as of right now. This is a new section I will be trying to keep up with along with the t

Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Gets 5.1.1 Update, Stagefright Fix   Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Gets 5.1.1 Update, Stagefright fix is included. Below is all of the fixes, and patches that are included in this update package. Android version 5.1.1, Lollipop OS Upgrade Message Waiting Indicator fix Security fix (Stagefright) Misc. bug fixes  Stagefright is a media handler component that can be exploited to exploit a phone via MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) So the top headline has been lately, "Android Phones are in Danger!' Nexus Updates should start rolling out next week with these patches, and it looks like Sprint is wasting no time for its customers, which is always reassuring for a carrier to be that way, working for people who are paying for their services.

Android Phones Will Be Getting Windows 10 Microsoft announced, some Chinese Android phones will be getting Windows 10, this isn't something they are pushing to the Android Lovers, but rather giving the opportunity. Microsoft has tested Windows 10 with a small portion of Xaomi users, and are pretty confident they are the best candidate for this type of thing. Running Windows 10 on a Android phone is pretty exciting. Me Personally? I would probably just keep Android on my phone, unless I could try out Windows 10 and switch back if I wanted to, which I hope that is the case here. I will be keeping you posted as this story updates. Thanks for staying tuned in. AndroidGuruGuy 

Sony's Stock look on Android Recently announced, Sony will be experimenting with a near stock experience for their Android devices, and leaving the Sony services, to Apps Apparently, this is something we all think that OEM companies should start trying on their Android devices, users complain constantly about Touchwiz, and how sluggish it may get, but Sony knows how to preserve hardware resources. Daring to be different is whats in the market with Android users, The die hard love the pure look more than a company forcing a experience on all of their users. (AKA Samsung, with Verizon, or AT&T.. with locked bootloaders.) I could see the users who bought Oneplus One, or any Nexus device enjoying this device just because it will feel so smooth, and much more lightweight and pure. Hopefully this experiment turns out as good as I think it would. AndroidGuruGuy

Gold Plated Smartphone Raising Cash for Cecil The Lion's Home   Recently, I've been hearing about a company out of the UK selling this Gold Plated Smartphone, the HTC One M9, which is a very good choice of phone, with the hardware, and specifications, very elegant piece. This phone will set you back about $2470, or £1580. 10 percent of every sale goes towards Friends of Hwange Trust an organization dedicated to preserving the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, AKA The home of Cecil The Lion. The phone is 24K Gold, and also limited edition, so if you can afford it, go for it! I wonder if this phone is covered under Uh-Oh protection..? Who is Cecil The Lion?      Cecil was a Lion, who lived in the Hwange National Park of Zimbabwe, He was named after Cecil Rhodes, who was a 19th century British imperialist and diamond mining magnate (Cited: Wikipedia ) So its no wonder a company out of the UK would care so much about preserving this park that used to belong to C
