What should I look for when buying replacement cell phone battery?
Generally, a higher watt hour and/or mAh number is better. Be careful, as third party batteries may be lying about their capacity. If possible, buy an OEM battery or one from a reputable dealer, such as RadioShack. Better yet, buy straight from the manufacturer or a licensed distributor.

Do they sell replacement batteries for cell phones? Or do you have to replace the phone?
It helps to know what kind of cell phone you have. However, a lot of cellphones nowadays do not have user-removable batteries. Technically, you can replace the battery if you really wanted to. However, since they're not meant to be replaced, you have to disassemble the phone, which is risky, to replace it. Additionally, most manufacturers will not sell you parts for your phone (outside of their official 'accessories') so you will need to buy some third party battery that may be of dubious quality. A local phone repair shop should be able to replace the batteries of most smartphones. How much they charge depends on the phone. Some phones are more tricky to open, so they cost more to replace the battery. But yes, the manufacturer prefers that you buy a new phone instead of replacing the battery. Update: If I recall, the last Galaxy S phone that had a removable battery was the Galaxy S5, which came out in 2014.

When is it better to replace a cell phone's battery vs. get a new phone?
It really depends, are you happy with “old” phone? If yes then in most cases you can get the battery replaced and you can continue on using the phone.If you are unhappy with the phone or have beat it all to hell, then it might be a good time to get a new phone when the battery life becomes so short that the phone ends up being useless…Depending on the phone, your service provider and plan, changing to a new phone can cost basically nothing or can cost a fortune. I personally try to take good/decent care of my phones and I’m able to use them for years with only battery changes…I would still be using my “old” phone, but it was only a 2G the phone and my provider’s 2G sunset was the end of that… My replacement is a 4G device so I’m expecting many years of service out of it before it becomes technically obsolete…If you are using an android phone, you will discover that you may have to replace it before it’s hardware is obsolete, because the Android OS isn’t being updated anymore and some of the apps you want to use needs a newer version than what you have… I’ve had to buy new tablets due to this in the past…To recap, buy a new phone or replace the battery, it all really depends on how happy you are with your phone/the condition it is in, and for some people the cost involved with getting a new phone may ending up being a factor as well.If you take good care of a phone it has the potential to last for years, but you won’t have the latest and greatest, and in some cases you might have issues installing/updating apps…I hope that you found this info to be helpful/useful…Best of luck!
Can an iPad Pro replace a phone?
“Can an iPad Pro replace a phone?”Well, for one you can’t put an iPad Pro in you trousers pocket ;)And then there is the fact that you can’t put the regular SIM card in it.Basically, an iPad Pro doesn’t have the cellular capabilities that you normally find in a regular phone.You can use the VOIP feature using the many apps that can do this, like Skype, Viber, even Facebook, etc. But you need a data account or a Wifi for this, and not all app can call regular phone number.If you want a drawing table AND a cellular phone in one, you can any of the regular iPad that has 3G/WiFi feature. But they don’t have stylus.Other good choice would be a Samsung Galaxy Note. This one is a phone and a table, has a stylus and apparently pretty good for drawing.
Can I use another phones screen (same model) to replace my cracked screen?
I don’t know if anyone really answered your question well.It is not hard to remove the entire screen assemblies from each phone, and then swap and reinstall them. iFixit has tutorials on this, basically it’s 2 screws near the Lightning port, and then some ribbon cables at the top to separate the screen from the rest of the phone.The main question I can see, is will the phones operate correctly with different Touch ID sensors (the Touch ID hardware is mated to the home button). Here is a link that suggests that swapping the screen assemblies will be problematic:Repair Expert Responds to Error 53You will also find in online tutorials that you can replace the screen assembly, as long as you take your original home button and install it into the new screen. This should be possible in your case, although I can’t verify for sure. Here is a link with tutorial and info on transferring your home button to a new screen assembly (it’s for iPhone 6 but the basic concept is the same for the 6 Plus):How To Replace Your iPhone 6's Screen And Avoid Dreaded Error 53
Why can't cell phones replace Walkie Talkie's?
Nextel’s bread and butter was this very feature. They had push to talk (ptt) first and they did it the best. Construction crews, families or friends finding each other in a crowded area, regular people who didn't really need to have a conversation with someone, they just needed quick communications. The service was awesome. Look someone up, push, the button and a communication channel was opened up in what seemed like real time.The service worked so good that the government was looking at it for emergency situations and such at one point in time.Now the bad… The radios, cell site equipment, and all of the other back office equipment could pretty much only do the PTT and handle basic phone calls. Yes they did it very well, but the tech was not scalable in the sense that you couldn't do great (or even good or okay) data sessions. Everything mobile has gone data and IP. The radios were old tech, like 1980’s tech built by Motorola. They were heavy, and power hungry. So the tech died.Don't get me wrong, the PTT function is still very useful and many carriers did attempt to roll out their own PTT services and spent a lot of money doing it. The problem came down to lag. With the newer services if you wanted to connect with someone quickly it would take around 5 seconds to do so at least. This was because they were trying to run the feature on IP networks that at the time were not designed really for real time communications. (Think 3g era when your data rates were around 1.5 - 2.0mbs. Pretty slow and those networks were not built to minimize lag.The newer 4g LTE networks for the most part do not have the lag issue as before because these networks were built from the ground up to handle huge amounts of data and real time communications. However since the time between 3G and 4G LTE was about 8 years the wonderfullness of PTT gas largely been forgotten. You can still get PTT functionality through some apps I believe but I have no clue how it works.Otherwise - you can still go to Walmart and buy some walkie-talkie devices that work pretty good. I have a set that we used on a cruise. Good for finding people on the ship and also communicating while on land because our phones wouldn't work internationally. They would come in handy if you were hiking in the woods with a group, or at a festival or something. I forget the range, I think that under good conditions the range might be about a mile or so.
