I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to instantly extend the battery life

zdnet.com Cesar Cadenas 2025-12-29 11:30:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've spent large portions of my life looking for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones. Admittedly, that sounds rather dramatic, but growing up with only budget models meant I was constantly tweaking device settings to squeeze every bit of juice out of their batteries. Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it wit

Mysterious Petroglyphs Reemerge on Oahu Beach

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-29 21:20:46

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first

Android 15 is bricking some Fairphone 5 devices, and here’s how you can avoid it

A Fairphone rep confirmed stricter hardware checks in Android 15 are to blame. A fix is in the works, but for now, users with faulty sensors should avoid the update.

Android phones are unwarrantedly sleeker, significantly faster, have larger screens, and even feature cameras that, for most non-professionals, can replace a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. Yet, Android manufacturers have made some compromises to make the phone less bulky, increase internal space for more advanced components, or even just to save costs. Newer Android phones are depriv

Nothing Headphone (1) Review: Something Special

A man in a dark t-shirt gets out and runs towards an apartment. A woman appears and jumps up, wrapping her legs around him. They start making out before going to get tacos and, later, returning to her place. At 6 a.m. the next morning his car is still outside the woman’s apartment.
