Wrong way to clean smartphone

Spring Cleaning for your notebook, phone, etc…

Last week we took a look at doing some spring cleaning on your desktop computer. This week: other devices. DO NOT take your notebook apart unless you know what you are doing. Notebooks can benefit from opening them up and blowing air in them to clear the dust, dirt, and other stuff out. I have,…

Useful Android Apps, Part 5

Thanks for joining me again for the list of smartphone apps I like and use. Last week I talked about newbs, noobs, Snapseed, Sync and VPNSecure. Today I was going to list the last few in my list. However, when I asked a few weeks ago, some of you suggested a few I did not…

Take a Note and Much More

I get a question quite often about how I take notes using my phone. You know, an idea hits you and you want to "jot" it down for later. Yes, I know all of you old timers out there like a piece of paper and a pencil.  However, I always have my phone with me…

My Visit to the Dark Side

I recently had the opportunity to test an iPhone, 5S.  Keep in mind as I continue I began this as an Android fan-boy.  But in my new position I have been asked to test specific phones to decide on which one best works for me. So, several weeks ago, I began my journey to the…

By the way, the prices listed are for…

A Watch for Christmas, Part 1

A Watch for Christmas I recently had a chance to test out two smartwatches for an extended period of time: The Moto 360 by Motorola which came out in 2014 and the Pebble from 2012.  The Pebble was a Kickstarter project which raised over $10 million in 30 days by donations from complete strangers who…

OK Google, the All Hearing iEar?

There were a couple of interesting electronic add-ons to our world a few years ago.  One called Siri for iPhones/Apple devices and “OK Google” for Google devices. For my Android phone I simply say, “OK Google” and tell it whatever I am looking for.  If I need help finding a store I say, “OK Google,”…

2014 in Review, Part 2

This week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly.  Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. CNet and Download (both part of CBS…
