Roy Taunton works as a Mobile Technology Specialist at Technical Master. He has spent over six years to fix Android devices, track down why phones slow to a crawl, and get connectivity back on track. He has helped hundreds of Android users sort out their problems. Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus—you name it, he's worked with it. Battery dying too fast? Charging port acting weird? Network dropping calls? Phone running like molasses? Roy has seen it all and knows how to fix it. When he’s off the clock, Roy is usually testing out optimization tweaks or playing mobile games to test how far he can push a device's hardware.
