LG G5 AND FRIENDS, AKA Modules! The First Actual Modular Phone?


The LG G5

This... This is the LG G5, and it has modules, Extra battery, Camera, and more.
Basically the LG G5 is the first look at a modular phone, but nothing we expected as of before. Honestly it looks like a nice Nexus 6P or Nexus 5P but with LG Accessories, and skinned software. This leaves room for way better camera modules from your favorite brands like Nikon, Canon, and Sony. Allthough a Sony camera is nothing new to Android devices, they have carried just about the best camera thus far. This leaves tons of more room for custom roms, and software, but will need to include all of the drivers, framework or flashables for the extras.

My Thoughts

The only thing I worry about now, is does this leave room for LG to release the device with parts that are subpar, just to get the consumer to spend more money on the modules? I've seen somewhere the modules will cost more than $150 depending on the branding, and module you are looking to upgrade. This is by far NOTHING like Project Ara, but it's a start to give us more of an idea. Honestly the device looks pretty good, given it looks like an alien tool for probing, but LG has always been great at this (Starting with the LG G2). All in all, I will review the final product, but will probably not waste my time or money on the modules.. For now. 

Also, Thanks to anyone who has stayed tuned this far, I know I have off and on times, but I always do come back to talk about my favorite devices or anything that intrigues me. Soon I want to start up a Youtube channel, but I'm still a bit camera shy. Writing is getting pretty old though, I can write, and make videos, a vlog with a blog is always good.

Thanks for reading, please share my content! Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

By
Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

By
HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...

iPhone 6 Plus Touch Disease Problem SOLUTION Found!

iPhone 6 Plus Touch Disease Problem SOLUTION Found! So you may be having the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus touch disease issue, and are worried about what to do!? Apple says they will fix the problem for you, or replace the device, but somtimes Apple does not follow on their word when you drove the whole hour to the Apple store, and they tell you they can't help because the phone is either aging, or the phone is out of warranty. This problem is actually caused by consumer somewhat, so it is normal for a tech giant company to tell you "Oh well we can't help you" After the phone gets dropped, it can be one good source of impact that causes the issue.. look below. Outlined in red, the Broadcom chips which control the touch functionality of the phones. The chip that is normally affected is the smaller chip near the bottom of the image. (outlined in red) The chip will become the tiniest bit jarred from the board, causing the solder joints which ar...
