Beware of Counterfeit OEM Batteries

Last year I bought a third party battery on eBay rated 33% higher than the OEM. I was fascinated by this claim as the battery was of the same dimensions as the OEM so I spent over ten times as much money on equipment to make sure this company wasn’t pulling my leg (that’s how [...]

Enabling Ringtones

We’ve done our fair share of tips and tricks around here but one that we didn’t report on is changing the restriction on ringtone limits. Some phones (ok it probably only applies to stock ROMs) limit the size of the ringtone you are allowed to have. So when you go to load a ringtone you [...]
