Wireless Phone chargers NEW site NEW products!

One stop shop for all your charging needs!

Hi guys and girls I'm sure you remember me raving about some amazing phone and device chargers I reviewed last year. If you've forgotten then the pik above should remind you.
You can see 2 power banks and 2 QI chargers all from the same company.

Cast in order of appearance is;

 QI Wireless Car Charger and Cradle

 Aqua Trek USB Waterproof 7800mAh Charger

 Premium Ultra Thin QI Wireless Phone Charging Pad

  Traveler dual USB solar charger 6000mAh

and a USB LED bendy light.

I can honestly say I'm STILL using each of these products and so often they've actually saved the day; as both my phone and tablet have the worst battery life.

Plus we often get power-cuts too and we need the combination of power banks and Qi wireless Chargers.

But now Mobile Solar Chargers have an amazing NEW site purely devoted to QI Wireless chargers and Im so excited about this as since using these QI chargers I haven't looked back, its not only Hi-tech its so convenient and easy, no cables just pop your device onto the charging pad and go grab a coffee.

All of us have so many devices which need charging, the bog standard chargers have trouble keeping up with the ever growing technology.

But Im so excited to see that Wireless Phone Chargers have managed to find you guys some state of the art NEW Qi Wireless Charging Technology for your devices.
Here are just a few of their NEW products.

QI wireless charger and Powerbank
This is fantastic new technology and if you like to keep up with the hi-tech Joneses; then go grab yourself one of these, as you not only get a 7000mAh powerbank but its a QI charger as well...!
Yes I said...QI charger too...a wireless powerbank!!!
 It works as a standard premium wireless pad when connected to a PC or mains usb power supply. When disconnected the battery retains a further 2 + portable wireless phone charges or 3+ if using usb charging.
You wont see many of these around at the moment!

 3 coil Qi Charger stand
Another new product; isn't this beautiful; so elegant and sleek.
Remember with Qi technology you can lay your phone in any position and still view videos due to the 3 coils inside which will find your phones receiver card. No phone cables getting in the way. (Receiver cards also sold separately).
Ive seen cheaper versions sold elsewhere which only have 2 coils but these don't often charge properly.

3coil Folding Qi wireless charger
Another gorgeous sleek design plus this stand actually folds back at any angle you wish; even to flat.

So this is just a taster of some of the brand new Qi Wireless Chargers that I haven't seen anywhere else and so affordable too.
 Go check out their new site and be one of the first people to have some new technology to show off to your family and friends.

If you are going to the Gadget Show Live on the 8th and 12th of April then go and check them out personally and see these gorgeous gadgets in action.

 Bye for now

Mums like tech too! Mothers Day gadgety Inspiration for Sunday 15th March

Mums like tech too!

Hi everyone...are you rushing round trying to decide what to get your Mum for Mothers Day on Sunday?

Shame on you leaving it so late....oops...me too ;-)

Of course chocs and flowers are the Mothers day staple but have a quick think; does she use a smart phone, tablet, kindle and/or PC then your Mum loves a bit of tech too.

So here are a variety of gadgety ideas for those Mums who love a bit of tech. These products are all items I have tried and tested and can absolutely vouch for and would love to receive as a gift. Click the links underneath to see my full photo review. There is a mix of UK and US products.

The Mecam (US)

This is a genius fun and whimsical affordable little action camera; this takes wearable tech to its best as you simply pin it on your clothes and carry on; perfect to capture fun family gatherings like parties, barbeques without having to worry about carrying a camera and missing the fun; now you simply press play and forget you wearing it.

KleverCases for Kindles (UK) 

Most of us have Kindles nowadays and I feel most Mums love a bit of peace and quiet to read a good book on their Kindle. Then treat your Mum to a fab case that looks like a stunning book cover. Klevercase's offer an amazing selection of covers for everyone's taste.

  The Single Pen Quiver for notebooks and journals. (US and UK)
I have to say every Mum Im sure, would love one of these in beautifully handmade leather.
How many times have you been without a pen or stylus when you need it. With the Quiver it slips easily onto the notebook, journal or tablet to not only keep your pen in place; but they will give your notebook an elegant old world charm feel. 

The Gerp (US) 

Next is this unique looking gadget The Gerp which suckers firmly onto your gadgets. Its sitting on my desk now what a fun gadget to use as well as being so damn useful.

  This selection comes from a 1 stop shop for all your charging needs

 Mobile Solar chargers  (UK) 

I have 3 different types of charges to take you from home to car to traveling.

First charging at home with the Premium Ultra Thin QI Wireless Phone Charging Pad Just pop your phone ontop while grabbing a coffee surfing or on the phone; I haven't stopped using mine since it arrived; its amazing and looks so elegant and sleek too.

Next charging in your car with the  QI Wireless Car Charger and Cradle which charges wirelessly while your in the car to work or traveling etc. 

Finally from this brilliant company is a rugged waterproof charger to take anywhere The holiday essential the Aqua Trek USB Waterproof 7800mAh Charger perfect if you know Mum is off traveling, camping, boating this year. I have been using all three of these gadgets above as each has its own busy place in my life and found them invaluable; I simply cannot do without these as I always need more charge on one of my many gadgets.

Photojojo iPhone and Android lens series (US)  

Does your Mum love photography like I do; then Photojojo offer these 3 amazing lenses which magnetize onto your phone. Its fun and affordable and you can really grab some amazing piks you wouldn't normally be able to. Checkout what I managed to capture last Summer.

Sensu Portable Artist brush and stylus (UK and US) 

A stylus is something so many of us use but does your Mum love art; does she sketch or paint using a tablet. Then the Sensu is perfect with a 2 in 1 normal stylus...and a...paint brush with conductive hairs so you have the real feel of painting with a brush. Plus just look how elegant and beautiful it is.

Venostech Sidecars (US) 

Does your Mum juggle with laptop, tablet and phone; then look no further surprise your Mum with one or 2 of these Sidecars. I bet she wont have seen these before so you get extra kudos for being the best pressie giver ever!

 KitSound and Kitvision (UK)

I cant go without mentioning one of my favorite gadgety companies Kitvision and Kitsound. As I said on my Valentines post their sound and vision products are affordable fun and brilliant quality....who wouldn't want to receive any of the above. Everyone enjoys music so checkout the KitSound Hive Bluetooth speaker or the mini fun buddy bee speaker which makes you smile too.

KitSound Clash On-Ear Headphones with In-Line Mic look stunning and has great sound. The Kitsound Cadet rugged Bluetooth portable speaker is perfect for camping or hiking or simply in the garden. But my favorite 2 products has to be the KitVision Splash Action cam...oh my goodness what an incredible camera as it comes with all the mounts and a waterproof case you could ever want for. Then there is the stunning Kitsound Swing radio alarmclock this is one of the most most beautiful retro radios Ive seen and matching sound quality to boot.

 Butterfly Paperweight review

For something a bit more personal checkout this beautiful paperweight from personalise.co.uk where they have a huge variety of products to make it a tad more special to say you love your Mum.

 I hope this has given you all some ideas but if you still need some Mothers day gadgety inspiration then checkout my full gadget review page for products in the UK and US. HERE

So all you Mums out there have a great day. 

I just hope my furred and feathered babies remember its Mothers Day on Sunday...sigh...!

Stick with Kitkat, Lolipop sucks!

Rockem Sockem Androids!
KitKat vs Lollipop!

Hey everyone do you get a sense of excitement when you know we are all getting the latest Google update. I know I do, hoping for new neat, fun changes to make our lives even easier.

So far we've had all these brand new yummy updates BUT how often are our hopes dashed as we start to find things that are wrong.

This was the case with Lollipop aargh! 

 Nexus 10 and Samsung S4.

All on charge both with their Lollipop problems!

My Nexus 10 finally got the new update. I really loved the new look central drop down panel combined with the settings....although I had some problems opening it; but just assumed that I was swiping wrong..doh...as if!
Next I couldn't get online at all as my wifi was playing up. I simply assumed again it was me; as we do occasionally have problems in middle of nowhere with our wifi so wasn't unduly worried...at first. But after rebooting, re-putting in my password etc, changing hz settings I thought no way is this is all me.

But I now haven't been able to get online for over a week and most my apps are useless as they are online based....grrr!

So luckily I have my phone which I downloaded the latest Lollipop update a few days ago; so I can use that cant I...?

A few nervous minutes as I checked my phone over...yes I was online...with wifi no problems..woohoo...result....er...yes...but I spoke too soon and after a few days I had noticed that my battery power was bad. Lasting less than 12 hours and even less if playing games and watching Utube....#/*@\

So next; onto my main PC thank God I have another internet means. Where I discovered hundreds of you having major problems with your Android devices through this 5.0 Lollipop update.
Phew...however so relieved it's not me doing something blonde...!

But I still have no wifi on my Nexus 10 and serious battery problems with my S4..argh!

Next step is checking the forums for what to do next and there's so many amazing people offering great advice thank you.
I've rebooted, turned wifi on off, re-put in passwords, changed hz settings, cleared out all useless apps made more space, cleared cache you name it I've done it...except factory reset. But then some of you have warned us of major problems after doing this. I also discovered the wifi problems have hit the 2012 version Nexus 10 the worst...guess what version mine is...sigh!

Many people on the forums have had success by rolling-back to KitKat 4.4.4;
so I'm now off to email Google themselves for advice to see if I should roll back to Kitkat or if I should I sit tight until Google have Lollipop 5.0.1?

So for now my poorly Nexus 10 is an expensive paperweight and my S4 is drinking power like no tomorrow.

 I have my S4 permanently on my Qi wireless charger (review here) so its trickle charging constantly; its perfect for this right now!
The battery problem is dealable as at least I can still use it; unlike my Nexus 10!
When tech goes wrong you turn to the tech which always goes right; thank you Mobile solar chargers!

Google help please get 5.0.1 out ASAP!!!

So has anyone else had problems with Lollipop or any advice of what's worked for you or what have you tried; I'd love to know.

I'll keep you all updated for the next update which is said to be coming soon as 5.0.1 so fingers crossed I get my Nexus 10 working again or....Anyone for a game of  Frisbee?
