al Do Phone 'Drying' Videos Really Work? By www.infopackets.com Published On :: Wed, 04 Sep 2024 17:55:35 +0000 YouTube videos that claim to fix a waterlogged phone really can work according to a semi-scientific test. But results are not guaranteed and it's not a reason to take excessive risks. Numerous videos (and some dedicated phone apps) all claim to fix a soggy phone in the same way. The theory is that the main risk is liquid getting into the phone through the speaker, which inherently can't be airtight - rather, quite the opposite. The videos "work" simply by playing a specific oscillating tone at a deep frequency that causes the speaker to push air at just the right force to dislodge the water. ... (view more) Full Article

al Necro Malware Infects 'Modified' Spotify, WhatsApp By www.infopackets.com Published On :: Wed, 02 Oct 2024 19:21:42 +0000 "Modified" versions of popular apps have helped distribute a nasty piece of Android malware.

Its main purpose was to hijack phones and use them to make money for the people behind the malware. This included displaying paid ads in the background so that users didn't see them, but the scammers were able to claim revenue from advertisers. The malware would also install apps on the phone to earn ... (view more) Full Article
