5 Battery Killing Mistakes We Make Daily

I'm writing this post to tackle the mistakes we make while using our Smartphones daily.

Samsung has permanently halted production and sales of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone

 The loss of one of its flagship smartphones is a major embarrassment for Samsung (SSNLF), which was forced to recall 2.5 million Note 7s shortly after the device went on sale in August.

The South Korean firm attempted to fix the problem by switching battery suppliers and updating the smartphone's software. Company executives issued a slew of apologies.

But when replacement phones were issued, a number of customers reported that those devices also caught fire, including one aboard a passenger jet.

Samsung on Monday advised all customers to stop using the phones, sending its shares tumbling by 8% in Seoul. The world's biggest smartphone maker said Tuesday it was killing off the phone entirely.

 The Note 7 was a premium device that sold for at least $850 in the United States. It received strong reviews from critics, who heralded it as sleek and powerful. But customer excitement soon evaporated as safety concerns grew.

Samsung was panned for its response to the crisis -- many customers were confused over whether their phone was safe, whether it should be returned and whether the electronics giant was offering a replacement.

Samsung told customers in South Korea on Tuesday that they will be able to exchange their Note 7 for another smartphone. The exchange program will begin on Thursday and run through the end of the year.

It was not immediately clear what customers in other markets could expect in terms of a replacement or compensation.

 Giving up on the Note 7 will be costly. Analysts at Nomura estimate the total hit could reach $9.5 billion in lost sales and wipe out $5.1 billion of profit.

But Samsung, which has a market value of about $194 billion and annual sales of $179 billion, should be big and profitable enough to weather the loss of one model.

How to root Samsung Galaxy J7

If you own Samsung Galaxy J7, there is every reason to root it. Once you root Samsung Galaxy J7 , you can get a lot more out of your phone. For example, you can increase battery life, improve system speed and even change the way your core Android system looks. Although this rooting won’t change Samsung Galaxy J7 specification, it would improve its overall performance a great deal.

Why use this rooting technique?

Rooting Samsung J7 is easy, especially if you have already rooted Samsung Galaxy J5. It’s essentially the same rooting procedure with a few twists and tricks. This is kind of a universal rooting technique for J7 as you can use it on any firmware. There are plenty of other reasons to use this technique.

•     You can use it to root Samsung Galaxy J7 running any firmware. So every time you upgrade your firmware or install a custom ROM, you can come back to this method and root your device again. You don’t have to look for a new method every time. I suggest you bookmark it if you plan to play around with your device.

•     It’s an easy procedure. There are no risks if you follow along with care. It’s true that rooting will void your warranty but I’m sure you have already thought about it if you have decided to root Samsung Galaxy J7.

•     You can unroot your phone at any time if you use this rooting method. I will give you guys an unrooting tutorial as soon as I get back to J7. For now, I’m going back to my Infinix devices and giving you some more tutorials on new upgrades that just got here.
  

 How to root Samsung Galaxy J7 – Summary

To root your phone, you simply need to flash a custom recovery image and then run the root exploit. The root exploit you will use in this method is CF Auto Root.  Once you root your phone, you can always unroot it later to take advantage of OTA updates.For this tutorial to work, you will first need to install a custom recovery image. You can easily install TWRP recovery on any Samsung phone.
How to root Samsung Galaxy J7 – Step by step procedure

Step 1

Download CF Auto Root. You will need this root exploit to root Samsung Galaxy J7. Once you have downloaded the file, move it to your desktop.

Step 2

Connect your device with your PC. Use a USB cable to establish a connection.

Once the connection is established, move CF Auto Root zip file to your device. Don’t unzip this file.

Step 3

Now you are going to start flashing your phone so make sure it is charged above 50%. You don’t want to brick your phone only because you forgot to charge it before flashing it.

Restart your phone and go to recovery mode. Remember, this tutorial assumes that you have already installed TWRP or another custom recovery on your phone.


Once you see the recovery menu, go to ‘install’. It will ask you to provide path to the file. Browse to the CF Auto Root zip file. Now start the flashing process and wait.

Once your device is flashed with CF Auto Root, reboot it. It should be rooted now

Step 4

In case your phone doesn’t come out of a boot loop after you flash CF Auto root, you need to wipe data and reset phone to factory settings from recovery. Additionally, you may have to wipe cache as well to get out of boot loop.

Repeat the procedure from step 1. Hopefully, there will be no boot loop this time.

Check Out Whatsapp New Update With Cool Features

WhatsApp Messenger is the most popular messaging platform on all mobile operating systems and if you have a smart phone, then chances are that you will use WhatsApp instead of relying on your actual service provider. Another beta update of version 2.16.270 is here to download in the APK format and the core reason for these beta updates is to provide you with the best experience possible. The developers, this time, did state a list of changes in the changelog, and they have been detailed below.

Voice Mail:If your WhatsApp call is rejected or unanswered, one will now have the option to leave a voice message.
The new feature is basically the voice message feature but only appears when you make a call.
If a contact doesn't pick up or decline a call, all you have to do is hold down on the voice message button, and when you are ready to send the message, just let go the button. You message is sent and it appears in the active WhatsApp conversation with a note saying there's been a missed call.
The report adds that if you slide left when recording you abandon the voice message - but you can't listen back to your recording before deciding to send it.
[b]Bold emojis: [/b]The messaging app has added new features like giving people the ability to send bold, italic and strike-through text in messages, a secret font and Olympic-themed emoji - all within the last few weeks..

1.When sharing or forwarding messages, you can now send to multiple chats at once
2.Chats you frequently contact now appear when forwarding or sharing messages
3.While recording videos, slide your finger up or down to zoom in and out
4.A new front-facing flash helps you capture selfies in the dark

Unfortunately, there still isn’t a video-calling feature present, but it looks like it could come by the end of this year. 

Android 7.0 Nougat Update Jackhammer Android One Smartphones

The much-anticipated Android 7.0 (Nougat) has been rolled out (Over-The-Air update) and the Nexus 6P finally received the Android 7.0 update a few days back, after it's been on hold since the release of the new OS due to some issues with battery and performance.

We heard that the Cherry Mobile G1 which is already run on Android one, is one of the first device to receive the Nougat update, but other Android One phones are likely to get the update in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner.

Henceforth, Android one OS smartphone users should be expecting the update on their device. You can even check your phone right now to see if the update is already available for you to upgrade your device. If it's not yet, it's just a matter of time as the software update will hit your phone soon.

Note that this is a fairly large download (about 750MB). Some of the highlights of the upgrade include easier multitask with multi-windows, new emoji, as well as longer-lasting battery.

If you are using Infinix Hot 2 or any other Android One smartphone, we would like to hear from you if your device has received the software update notification.
