The Facebook App can “surreptitiously” drain battery on your device, a former employee alleges in a lawsuit. This practice, known as “negative testing,” is essentially an app developer running down someone’s device battery, in the name of testing features or issues such as how fast their app runs or how an image might load, according to data scientist George Hayward.

The majority of iPhones need to be recharged every few days, if not every day. Turning off services and features is one way to extend the battery life of an iPhone. Displaying your iPhone’s battery life as a percentage for easier monitoring is one simple way to get ahead.

Samsung has issued a massive recall of all Galaxy Note 7 phones that have batteries which have been found to catch fire and in some cases explode. The recall affects all countries in which Samsung has sold the Note 7 containing the defective battery, except China; the Galaxy 7s sold in China have a different battery.

iPhones are hot. Everybody knows that. But the crew and passengers of an Australian plane belonging to Australia’s Regional Express airline learned just how hot they are first-hand today, when a passenger’s iPhone began emitting clouds of smoke, and glowing red-hot.

Exploding cellphones are not an urban legend. In fact, another exploding mobile phone battery has killed another man (yes really). The incident, which happened over the weekend in China, is the second time in a bit over a year that a cell phone battery has exploded and killed someone. The last time that a cell phone battery exploded and killed someone, the force of the blast broke their ribs.
