GamePop Mini: The second console Bluestacks Android and ... - The Android Free

gamepop mini

Bluestacks is a company known in the Android world to launch a program that allowed computers to run Android applications on these computers. However, this is not the only project I have embarked, but also launched a few weeks ago Gamepop console, which basically consists of a console with Android that will play a lot of titles on your TV and whose main feature is that it is based on a subscription model.

Gamepop But it seems that has not caused much of a stir (as if it has done its competitor Ouya), so we have decided to launch Gamepop Mini, a smaller version of the original that will maintain the same philosophy as the standard model but at a lower price.

The main differences will be in the design, where the Mini is somewhat smaller and less conspicuous. Also, the Mini has some ports less and less powerful hardware, so some current titles may not work perfectly in this version. Yes, you should be able to ensure the vast majority of games that are currently in the store of Gamepop.

Gamepop Mini also works with the subscription model Bluestacks Gamepop introduced with the original. This is a payment of $ 6.99 per month in exchange for the console (free in the case of the Gamepop Mini) and access to hundreds of games in a lot of major developers at no additional cost. More or less, as the “Netflix” or the “Spotify” of video games.

Gamepop The Mini will be available from Monday Gamepop website , though, if you are interested, I recommend purchasing the standard Gamepop before Sunday, then you can get it for free in exchange a subscription commitment of 12 months (after Sunday probably will have an additional cost).

Boomerang for Android, another way to read mail - Bitelia

When it seemed that email was no longer overstretched, and that was that while technology is widely used by everyone every day, little more can be added, there Mailbox , a iOS app that became very popular since the first day when it was only available by request. The secret? Its main objective, which is process messages automatically email you do not have to waste time with it. So popular is that Dropbox was interested in her and bought it, and how could it be otherwise, has got competition on their own ground. This is the case of Boomerang , an alternative to Mailbox for the Android platform to optimize the way to process the mail.

alternative to Mailbox

What’s special about Boomerang ? Like Mailbox in iOS, the Android app is not just an email client: also helps you process messages in a different and more effective, deferring non-urgent messages and, ultimately, leaving the empty tray . It seems that in the future, Mailbox is available for Android, but as long as he has left an alternative to Mailbox worth your level. Let’s see how Boomerang .


Installation and tuning

alternative to Mailbox

The first step in testing this alternative to Mailbox is install it from Google Play, open, add account Gmail email . If you have a set up on your Android device, is displayed. Once configured, you will see posts explaining you operation Boomerang . You see, this app knows how to combine simplicity with effectiveness.


A look at your inbox

alternative to Mailbox

After reading the initial help message Boomerang , and you can access your inbox, it like any other email client, is the meeting place to read and process your posts . Like other customers, displays a list of messages received with the sender’s name, date of arrival and the message subject. But if you slide your finger left or right, is when you see the potential of Boomerang . To the right, you Archive the message directly, and to the left, you will see the options to process:

    • Archive : As in the previous case, so you Archive removing it from the inbox.
    • Send to Trash : If you do not want the message, delete it.
    • Boomerang : It is the most useful and get rid of the message is, leaving the empty tray, but getting it later, like a boomerang .
    • Label : Add tags to find better then.
    • Mark as Read : So the message is not as new or newly received.
    • Bookmark

    • : It is because it is important, useful, or because you want to have on hand later.

    addition, if you select the name of your Gmail email account, will the list of available folders , including the Inbox, Trash, the file, the list of Messages posted … Basically, all Gmail folders in addition to the previous labels or those who think on.

    Function

    Boomerang

    alternative to Mailbox

    Mailbox hallmark of its function to empty the inbox deferring the receipt of messages. Boomerang does the same, giving it a more exotic name. Basically is to indicate a date for the message to reappear in your inbox. As will be archived and your inbox to zero.

    You can program this feature

    boomerang for the night, for the next day, after two days, next week, two weeks, a month or even on a date and times. On the other hand, you have an option to delete this scheduled order if you receive a response to your message.

    Conclusions

    Better Mailbox

    or Boomerang? It’s an obvious question, if from the beginning of this article I told you Boomerang is an alternative to Mailbox. To start, the second is only available for iOS (iPhone, iPad), because if you have an Android device, this app is the only way to have a mail client like this.

    I think Boomerang is a good adaptation of the philosophy of keeping the tray to zero forwarding mail with a scheduled date. However, it suffers from the same limitation Gmail emails only to process . Furthermore, wasted touch gestures, which expresses itself Mailbox different combinations.

    Mailbox

    While iOS is exclusive, Boomerang is an interesting alternative Customer Lifetime , including the default has Android. But as nose poke Mailbox by Android, you better Boomerang includes improvements such as those mentioned above.

    First pictures of LG G2, top-end smartphone imminent ... - Engadget

    LG G2 class=”centro_sinmarco”/>

    some evidence that LG will finally shelve its name Optimus with this new model. The South Korean company has confirmed plans to launch terminal imminent successor Optimus G who arrived in no man’s land, with a great design, and a price slightly cheaper than the current range-topping.

    However

    the price difference does not justify the use of a 720p screen or a quad-core SoC older than composed smartphones like Galaxy S4 or HTC One It seems that LG was late to market with Optimus G we could call their customized version of Nexus 4.

    They just

    filtered the first images of LG G2 and I anticipate that will have buttons on the back.

    photographs have hinted they are just what they look like stills from a video presentation of it and have been published by @ evleaks.

    LG G2 class=”centro_sinmarco”/>

    These photos reveal that the buttons of volume would be located in the rear of the terminal under the camera in what will be a turn off the innovative concept current design line.

    LG G2 class=”centro_sinmarco”/>

    LG is expected G2 see the light the next day August 7 boasting the latest technologies and be a 1080p screen or the powerful Snapdragon SoC 800 of Qualcomm.

    LG G2 class=”centro”/>

    Anyway, we’ll have to wait for the official do supersmartphone details LG to confirm the information, but we assume that the filtration of @ evleaks seems to have weight and suggests that the company has made some kind of opinion and ergonomics study to justify the integration of these buttons on the back.

    LG G2 class=”centro_sinmarco”/>

    do you think of this solution ? It is true that you are left or right handed these buttons always on hand but let me doubt the convenience versus the traditional approach with the buttons on the side.

    General Map of Santiago and the use of operating systems. General map of Santiago and the use of operating systems.

    currently in Chile have the presence of four operating systems installed on smartphones and tablets: Apple iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone . How can we determine their use without being complex statistics and percentages?

    The answer is an interactive map presented by MapBox, which shows what the most popular operating systems worldwide, determining use in each country, region and city through the collection of 280 million tweets sent from mobile devices.

    CloudCube, controls various storage services in the ... - Engadget

    Android”

    src=”http://img.genbeta.com/2013/06/cloudcube-android.jpg” CloudCube for class=

    Today I want to introduce, CloudCube, a content management in the cloud available for Android . CloudCube not have as many requirements as Cloudii, of which I spoke, that only works on ICS class=”caps”> or higher, since the minimum operating system version to work with Android 2.3 is CloudCube 0.3 or higher.

    Like Cluidii

    ?? CloudCube is free and supports, at the moment, an extra service, Yandex Disk, we saw while on Engadget. Eight GB of free storage are always interesting even if they are in Russian. Furthermore, applications like CloudCube, that language barrier is partly overcome, although the program interface is our language , but English itself is within reach of most.

    Working with CloudCube

    first need to download the application from Google Play. Installation is quick, since the executable weighs about 2 MB . Once it is on your machine, we can choose to control storage services (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive and Yandex Disk).

    CloudCube servicios class=”centro”/>

    Service Selection

    first service selection, we need only click on “Available storages” when empty jumps directly to the option to “add” . For the rest, click on the Actions Control and then on the last option that appears in the “Select Action”: “ Add Storage “.

    For them, we enter our credentials and authorize to the application to manage each of the services. As we are adding these are incorporated into a side bar located on the left of the screen. This division can alternate with the control located at the top left of the screen, symbolized by three horizontal lines.

    Access to services

    Pulsed

    in the left sidebar on each of the icons representing the service, will open the directory tree corresponding , by which we can navigate a touch. A bar crumbs at the top under the blue band, we informed at all times about where we are. The root directory is represented by a slash to the right.

    Within the same sidebar, at the top and green have three controls for loading / unloading, synchronization and manual download . When you click on one of them, will be in white, and act, of course, on the service listed as an asset, highlighted in black versus gray general.

    CloudCube, controles class=”centro”/>

    Load

    cloud content

    Operation is very simple . If we want to upload files to a service, click on the middle button, “Select Action”, “Create folder”, if we want to create a new folder, or “Add files”, if we want to upload individual files or groups.

    Clicking on “Add Files”, will display the local directory tree , from which we will choose what we want to climb. We can mark as we please, validating the action with the green button on the top of the sub-loading screen.

    Files are placed in a queue in the background , we can monitor control visiting “Activate”. Meanwhile, we continue to work with CloudCube, in the same storage service or any other.

    archivos” ClousCobe, selection src=

    CloudCube

    has a rather basic representation of the stored files and has no preview images, for example. PDF files or spreadsheets if they have their own representation. The files do not “understand” are symbolized by a generic icon.


    Configuration Options

    As for settings, and change the interface language, you can change the cache folder or clean it . The other options allow you to export and import settings to or from CloudCube-fiche-one external, and make a single backup reserved of each storage service.


    CloudCube, conclusions

    CloudCube

    not the only deal available for this purpose, but does its job well, is easy to use and the application is free. Another interesting feature is the ability to index content stored , for quick searches. These are to do likewise, but saves time indexing.

    CloudCube, acciones class=”centro”/>

    On the dark side, although this is in taste, the interface is somewhat “bland” and sometimes slow . When I tried to add more accounts Skydrive has given me an error. I repeated the test several times with the same result.

    CloudCube is to offer centralized management of cloud storage, which is useful if you accounts services accessed by .

    Fake antivirus hijack Android devices in exchange for a ... - Yahoo! Finance

    MADRID, 25 (Portaltic / EP)

    Android

    has to deal with his first threat Ransomeware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware_ (malware)), called Android.Fakedefender. It consists of a fake antivirus program that blocks devices victims and can not reuse them until they pay under a “rescue” them.

    recent years has been expanding increasingly called FakeAV cybercriminals and software, a type of fraud that uses a malware that threatens the security status of your computer. Its aim is to convince users to pay for restoring order your PC or otherwise the malware will not go away.

    This scam has unfortunately evolved and has come to Android devices, the company has identified as Symantec (Munich: 879358 – news). The threat has been called Android.Fakedefender by security company Symantec and consists of a FakeAV variant that blocks the device in question as does Ransomware.

    Once the malicious application is installed, it begins to change and loosen the operating system of the device to the point that forces the user to reset with specific combinations using software that can provide the manufacturer only.

    Symantec estimates that the increase in fraud FakeAV Android platforms and is becoming a problem of the same magnitude as was with computers. The only thing the company says it can do against it is that the app will prevent strain on our device by installing security applications such as Norton Mobile Security or Symantec Mobile Security.

    Ouya, the first console Android, on sale for 99 euros - The País.com (Spain)

    Ouya is considered a triumph of community, an alternative to the giants of the video game world with the cloud as an ally, ie, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. The console was born the idea of ??a group of developers who decided to seek funding through Kickstarter a crowdfunding site. Within weeks achieved their goal: 8 million euros to build the device, although initially only asking 700,000.

    The proposal was interesting: for less than 100 euros early investors became one of the first units in addition to recognition for their support. Two months ago started shipping and from today anyone can buy over the Internet, provided that the delivery address is in the U.S., UK and Canada. This restriction does not exist to fund the project, but it is precisely the most controversial, as many investors are waiting for your unit, just when goes on sale.

    The first units, offered through Amazon, have been exhausted within a few hours. The same has happened with additional control knobs. Despite cost half the price of the console, is complete with the supply.

    Since the industry has seen with skepticism. The big three in the sector consider that target a niche market that does not exist, a group of indies with the illusion of a tighter market prices and innovation.

    class=”c8″ Ouya has several peculiarities. For example, the games are free. The initial catalog part with 170 titles. We only charge for add-ons and expansions, but within the original proposal is included the promise of hours of fun without having to pay. Another peculiarity is that the head of the company is a woman, id=”docs-internal-guid-419d2537-7c65-2d15-56df-72c02581220e” class=”c5″> , traditionally a very masculine world.

    The device not noted for its hardware. The design is carefully polished cube which has rear USB port and cable to connect to the Net The idea is to make up for the power of the central apparatus, with Tegra 3 processor, common in next generation tablets with constant Internet connection to have the power and additional servers. The package will compañado a single command, but to play with a limit of four.

    For this amount can not expect large deployments. Only have eight gigabytes of internal memory, support up to four wireless, and is pensanda to download Internet games and especially online play.

    During E3, the annual video game, knew how to exploit their sympathy to supplement the lack of means. Instead of having an area within the enclosure planted a trailer in the parking lot across the street. From early afternoon until sunset permit test the first units while inviting beers. In that case, rather than go to the final consumer, trying to curry favor with developers.

    Interestingly, the circle closes the console where he was born. Kickstarter is flooding with fundraising projects and making games in this format. You can find a puzzle with role-air, a kind of Tetris, a peculiar pinball, a title shot in space, a graphic adventure style pixelated old school to an interpretation of Risk with armored cars. Among the studies already working on this platform out Double Fine.

    AIO HP Slate 21: The first desktop computer with Android and ... - The Android Free

    hpslate

    The versatility of the Android operating system and is known by all, and something that allows manufacturers to play a lot with this operating system. Without going any further, we can find smart watches as’m Watch to computers running Android, one trend that certainly more and more manufacturers are targeting. In fact, today we have seen HP has gone to said carriage with the new HP Slate 21 AIO .

    HP Slate

    21 AIO, as you can see in the pictures, is a desktop “all in one” of 21 inches whose peculiarity is that it runs Android instead of any other system OS for desktops like Windows or GNU / Linux, which makes it one of the few (if not the only) desktop computer that will ship with Android 4.2.2 operating system pre-loaded factory.

    1

    Inside

    this computer we find a powerful Nvidia Tegra SoC 4 that will handle the moving images IPS panel 21-inch Full HD that incorporates and, by the way, it is possible tilt at will thanks to the support he has in his reclining rear.

    All other technical characteristics have not yet been unveiled by HP, but we assume it will be high-end and will be in accordance with the powerful SoC riding and as you all know, is one of the most powerful we can find today, surpassing the 600 Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos Octa.

    Android PC

    few months ago I said that the time was right to give the jump to Android computers taking advantage of now the vast majority of these come with touchscreens (which is what Android is designed). But he also spoke of what is probably the biggest drawback it: applications.

    While the normal user could replace your computer with Windows / Mac OS X / GNU-Linux by one as the HP Slate 21 AIO, a large majority would not because they would be very limited in terms of programs and applications available, as those currently in Google Play, apart from not having an interface adapted to screens as large as that of a desktop computer, do not offer the same possibilities and options that Windows / Mac OS X / GNU-Linux.

    Other than that, seems that Google is not interested in bringing Android to the market as they would have to give up their desktop operating system Chrome OS. So, if Google makes no effort to carry him, the ecosystem will probably oriented phones and tablets and therefore unlikely to have success these computers.

    However, I think should abandon Google Chrome OS (or at least leave it in third place) and go for the arrival of Android to desktop computers because they already have a base as strong enough to succeed. All they need is betting heavily on it and do it well.

    Alternatives to Siri: Android personal assistants - Bitelia

    In 2011, Apple debuted their version of iOS 5, which included one of the most important developments of recent times. It was the addition of the Siri personal assistant . With the ability to interpret voice commands and make our experience with the device is more natural and efficient, Siri became one of the most popular applications. However, their popularity also generated a wave “imitators” to replicate the performance of the application. Personal assistants for Android , for example, were the rage.

    Android vs iOS

    Many companies

    smartphone manufacturers decided to follow the same move initiated by Apple and present some alternative native to their teams. This is the case of LG, Samsung and Motorola, whose terminals are equipped with personal assistants with voice recognition, or Google Now , from the creators of the OS. At the same time, many developers worked independently on alternatives that are not associated with a particular computer. Today we will review these alternatives, with this list of personal assistants for Android that offer a copy, good, Siri, besides having own personality and color .


    Dragon Mobile Assistant

    Dragon Mobile Assistant

    The first on our list of personal assistants for Android is Dragon Mobile Assistant , an interesting alternative that allows us to do a variety of actions to turn your smartphone into something really useful for our daily life. Dragon is a virtual assistant with a very good performance of speech to text so that the computer can interpret what you’re telling us. Thus, from the application we will be able start a series of specific actions that are part of daily interaction with the phone.

    are many things we can do through Dragon, not distance themselves too much from the actions carried out thanks to Siri. For example, send text messages (saying “Tell John I’ll be there in five minutes”), write an email, create a calendar event, do updates to Facebook and Twitter , use the maps to get directions, share the location we have with friends, find our friends based on their location, automatic dialing, reading text messages while you’re driving, and more. Download

    EVA

    Assistant

    EVA Assistant

    EVA is a paid application that also acts as a personal assistant. While the icon is quite disturbing, has some interesting things to warrant putting it in this list. For example, we have different versions. On one hand, the full version, EVA Assistant , and on the other, her male counterpart EVAN If you want it to be another the tone we hear our actions. Also, if we do not want to pay for an assistant like this, we have the option to download the EVA Intern which is free.

    What we’ll be able to do with EVA? Just as many of these applications, integrates with terminal functionality to provide a complete experience without us having to touch the screen. Among other things, we can read and reply to text messages, perform actions through Google Voice, answering emails, to Exchange, reply to messages from Google Talk, and more, proving that we are in presence of a very social assistant . If this was not enough, it also has integration with Google+, Evernote, and Tasker. Download

    Assistant

    assistant

    With a name as straightforward as this, we can imagine that Assistant will meet our needs, and also has an icon much more subtle than we can find in the previous application. Assistant is one of the most popular personal assistant for Android, and this has its reasons. Above all, thanks to customization options we have when we are navigating and using the application, but also thanks to its effective use of natural language. It also has integration with many popular services like Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and more).

    Assistant

    proposal is to provide an intelligent assistant to take care of our needs. Thus, for example, memory Assistant has our actions , and “remembers” what are our favorite places, our favorite services, and allows us to make intelligent decisions based on our environment and our previous behavior. So, does operate in a personalized manner. Also, thanks to the implementation of natural language, it is necessary to learn specific commands to interact with the application, but can be done directly without risk of misunderstanding. Download

    Skyvi

    Skyvi

    Within

    personal assistants for Android, Skyvi can be considered royalty. Not only by the aesthetics of the application interface, but also because it focuses on some aspects of the above applications to excel in a service. A pity that even in the name of the application, it says it is Siri for Android, as it can be confusing for those who expect an equivalent. Skyvi made a name in its own right and we can see why it is one of the obvious choices.

    However, we can also see the commonalities you have with Siri and the other alternatives we’re listing. For example, you can send text messages using your voice, without touching the screen, find places through the web and automatically call-a particularly useful for those who travel a lot due to work-, find directions, call our contacts , play music, get weather forecasts for the area at the time, and dictation functionality. Finally, to have the ability to make witty comments and tell the odd joke. Download

    Evi

    Evi

    Finally, we close our list of personal assistants for Android with Evi , another sympathetic character that we can organize some issues and actions within the terminal. Evi is a free, no extra charges once downloaded, working with artificial intelligence to be our assistant and right hand in all things we do when we interact with a smartphone. Instead of working as a search engine, Evi understands what we want and gives us detailed information and “digested”, instead of a list of potential outcomes.

    Similarly

    Siri, Evi going to be able to do many things using our voice, without touching the screen. First, we will be able to chat with Evi, ask some information from our location, browse the internet from an integrated browser, and more. One of the points against Evi is only available in English, and in regard to the information located, can only provide it for Britain and the United States. However, if we are conversant in English should not be a problem, and you have good information to share if you usually take internet to find references. Download

    HP Slate 21: The first computer AiO purely Android - Tablet Zone

    giant HP has introduced a model that comes making noise in the landscape of Android tablets which recently has been released. We talked about HP Slate 21 a computer All in One that runs the operating system from Google. Certainly this is a turning point in the industry as we have always associated with Android mobile devices, but in this case, it is thought to function as desktop .

    As the name suggests, have a 21.5-inch screen Full HD (1080p) IPS panel LCD , one of the more massive than we have seen on this platform.

    other details provided is really low but it gives an idea of ??how brave he is the bet of the American company. The team will have a chip Nvidia Tegra 4 to move to Jelly Bean Android 4.2.2 . Not know what RAM is accompanied, but back in April this device appeared in the AnTuTu benchmark with a frequency of 1.8 GHz for each of the four processor cores providing a note of 23,584 points.

    HP Slate 21

    When we see an image that is taken from the press release the company has sent the Chinese media for an early submission, we find that has a foot drop that helps stand . It can be folded to permit transport, but definitely does not look very comfortable giving mobile device use. Also have a keyboard and mouse that connect USB cable.

    HP Slate rear 21

    So far we have seen similar devices from Asus and Toshiba, but always combined the Windows 8 desktop mode with Android tablet mode. In this case, we are talking about the first computer AiO Android . The bet must be classified at least as brave as many could see difficult to obtain a high productivity with this mobile operating system. It is true that Google itself as well as the developer community, have been populating the Play Store applications that make our tablets increasingly autonomous teams. Still, HP Slate 21 is boldly different from the rest.

    Why Nokia can remain interesting for Android? - The Android Free

    android-nokia_lumia_920

    One of the things that cause disease in the world of smartphones is the possibility that Nokia give budge and Embrace Android operating system for some of their phones. Why has not it happened yet? There are many reasons behind it, but the real question to ask is why would interesting for Android? I’ll try to answer that question and some more in this opinion. Here we go …

    Why Nokia does not have an Android phone?

    This question may be easier to answer but has a history. Long ago, when Android began to have some importance in the mobile world, Nokia continued to lead all markets except the U.S. , which was dominated by Apple’s iPhone, and Venezuela, with Blackberry to the head.

    At that time, began to speculate that Android, being the first operating system with some power multi market penetration (Windows Mobile was left half) could be interested in that most manufacturers will have Google, but Nokia did not see Android as an opportunity, but as a competitive disadvantage, not adhering could be the differentiator that needed , because after all, they were the ones who took higher revenue to the expansion of the mobile market, which really made possible its extension, at least in Europe and parts of America, showcases real world.

    nokia-lumia-900-running-android-4.1

    were too special to do the same as Samsung, HTC, LG … And in part they were right. The others tried to catch him, why would do the same as others? Hardware based? Only Carl Zeiss optics and their cameras was enough? No, Nokia was much more than that. “That’s for Asians”.

    The problem is that they read the world upside down. The population across the Earth tended to globalize, in all aspects, and the choice of smartphone was no different. He demonstrated the iPhone, but is that before they proved themselves. You could have a very rich portfolio with telephones in all ranges and prices, but the most commonly seen were always the same: 5110, 3210, 8210, N95 … People wanted (and want) so you have your neighbor, neither more nor less. If you can get over it the better, but to tie it. Jealousy is very bad.

    Nokia

    What was better? No. I do not. What contributed an extra? Hardware. Nothing at software, Symbian obsolete smelled everywhere , the problem is that the hardware without software is spoiled attractive in a market-oriented technological consumerism. So what I wanted to avoid was his conviction, and to a greater extent than they would have if they had gone to draw. They left a beautiful space to Samsung, which is the “Nokia” Korean for its wide portfolio of possibilities.

    After

    have had multiple opportunities to turn back, but directly, have refused. Whether stubbornness or understand that they are still too special (which they are). The fact is that Microsoft came up with a very attractive proposition: you neck and you saved me saved me, I give you money if they were to ban, you give me market penetration for Windows Phone. The problem may be in that took forever to make that decision, and at this time if you go two quarters, you demodé .

    Why

    would be an interesting move for Google?

    Nokia is still Nokia . The problem is that if you ask me, I will say that in my youth I had only nokias , if you ask my little cousin says he knows what that is. You may know more about Chinese brands on Nokia. They have lost a generation and that is very serious today, but there is still gap in the market.

    grandmother cell Specifically still possess large segment . I affectionately call him “segment mothers” (I think amply self-explanatory), and of course by that I mean women between 40 and 70 years, and also men in this age group, although to a lesser extent. I know you say that your mothers have a smartphone (we understand the concept today), but not normal, far from it. But, of course, is a segment to exploit and reconquer.

    That is precisely what Android would win, and that is exactly what he tried to make Windows Phone. raw WP8 believe that modernity or simplicity? I think that if they want to disguise it first, it’s more the latter. And that makes WP8 have much more insight into this age bracket.

    them / as is much more important to trust in a brand that extra functionality , as it surely will not use. They want the phone to call. There are social networks (yes, I know that your mother has Facebook), do not need 4 cores to play games posh, just want a good camera to take pictures of their potential and newborns grandchildren and a great app for weather forecasting, and … Whatsapp (yes, your mother has Whatsapp).

    want a Nokia, and therefore, if Nokia is Android, conquered another sector. That’s what Google would win, that’s what Android would win. And if not, the time (and by that I mean that this segment will cease to exist with the natural circumstances, long time) …

    Smartphones: Android in its purest form - La Voz del Interior

    Among the big companies that make Android devices, Motorola Mobility is distinguished to belong to Google (since August 2011), which naturally determines their strategic decisions.

    original Android . In an interview with Trends, Martin Wandering spokesman Motorola Mobility in Argentina, says that being a part of Google has meant “that smartphones of the company maintain different versions Android in its purest form “, which differentiates it from its competitors, which for the most alter the operating system and create their own version including on computers they sell. Thus, although the basic core Android features common to all brands, in appearance and functions vary between teams from Samsung, LG, Sony and HTC, to name a few.

    Motorola, being a company “of the house Google” has also opted to deepen integration with all of the search engine’s own applications.

    Razr family. The Razr smartphone line (the company started with the eponymous team) then went to the “top” of the family, the HD, to continue the Razr i , which represents a true innovation in the market, as it was the first to reach our region armed with Intel’s Atom microprocessor, a company that leads the industry computer processor but it is starting its way into the mobile.

    Regarding the Razr

    Martin Wandering in the company says are “more than satisfied with the performance exhibited in the Argentine market” and reveals that, with this line, Motorola is proposed “break paradigms of use smartphones “. As an example, argues that “the Razr i promised and fulfilled the phone would arrive at the end of the day with enough charge in the battery. He bet also the optimization of screen “.

    In this regard, note that that particular model is characterized by the fact that its 4.3-inch display occupies almost the entire front of the computer, eliminating much of the framework that often surround in others.

    Android 101: Learn everything you need on your screen ... - The Android Free

    android-101-slate

    I had not resorted to this section to teach novice users (and not so novice) to learn to take advantage of Android’s basic features, which perhaps we ignore, simply because of ignorance. On this day we will learn to make the most our unlock screen . So, go ahead, sit on your tables, the class will begin.

    unlock screen is one of those things that Android was a tad more than iOS from the beginning, he was able to take advantage gap, which can explode if it is true that until relatively recently we could not really use it as it deserves, or rather, as we deserve, it can be very useful.

    Choose your way to unlock

    Let’s start with the foundation, choose how to unlock your phone. It goes by taste, but safety should go mainly. There are five methods: Sliding, PIN, password, face unlock (Ice Cream Sandwich on) and unlock pattern. Well, and of course, the absence of all of them (not recommended). I find Settings -> Security -> Screen lock.

    android-choose-screen-unlock It is important that we choose well, trying to maximize the ratio comfort-security . For security order, it goes well, as I see it (and I think there will be much different): Password> PIN> Pattern> Face unlock > Slide. A password or PIN be decrypted, without doubt, but has infinitely more options than the standard , where generally people tend to put a 7 or Z, or L. Basically this option is to choose a route between 9 points, so you can only choose consecutively the points directly connected.

    Face unlock is the Face Unlock , which can be very cool, but is neither comfortable nor safe. First, it depends very much on the light that you did the first photo. You may not recognize and that in 50% of cases we have to use the PIN after the ruling. And it is very unsafe because if someone looks at you or have a picture of you, you can unlock the device. Finally slide safety has nothing, but at least, we do not want to call from your pocket, which can happen if you leave it blank. By default, the default setting is slide , and if you are on a VPN or have an Exchange account, password or PIN will of 6 digits (forcing us to choose one of those two). My recommendation goes to put one of these two, preferably password. True, there may be very tedious to put all the while a password every time we turn on the screen, but there are ways to limit this boredom.

    android-screen-lock Let’s choose the option to choose between password, pattern or PIN, you can select not to block the phone immediately after turning off the screen and put a timeout since we turned off the screen , so if you’re going to have to look at and not want to put the password many times in a while we turn on and turn off the screen (for example, we are expecting a nervous message). This is not very safe unless you’re going to have the phone in our control and sight. But you can make things easier. The standby time vary terminal and ROM. For example, the Galaxy Note II is 18 minutes, while the Galaxy S III Mini is 14 minutes … In short, security is very important, but we must find a balance so that our experience is not ve ry satisfactory for the discomfort of excessive zeal on safety.

    Customize your lock screen

    android-lock-screen

    Before he reached the second release of Jelly Bean, Android version 4.2, our unlock screen was a field to take advantage. We depended entirely on the custom layer manufacturers, who used it as well could, either by adding icons, a shortcut to the camera with a gesture … Or solutions like WidgetLocker, Milocker, Go Locker

    What have we learned? The availability of widgets on the home screen to check certain things or trigger other without having to unlock the screen. To check if we have received a message or something similar may be helpful. We did a special post about it a little more than one year, if you have Android 4.2, can you find the right solution for you. There are many options, but this collection still are in force, remain the best possibilities.

    Post | Best Android lock screens

    Now, time has passed since then and many of you JB PLEASURE 4.2, so you can use the solution directly Android proposes , that gives us the same and also a shortcut to our camera, but not as if that button brings up the camera by dragging the screen right .. It is very useful, especially for the ease for certain situations: taking a picture, identify a song, read your mail … But then again, depending on what you put can be risking your privacy.

    The problem with this solution is that it is limited to certain widgets, and almost all solutions are Google directly (Now, Calendar, Keep, Gmail …). But here is where applications like Dashclock or AnyDash . Applications able to put on your lock screen much more information and can have see your latest Whatsapp messages, for example, which is what many may want a functionality like this.

    is a more complete experience and certainly more customizable. Well worth you to try if you have not already done so.

    Another possibility is that you have this version of Android and want the ability to add widgets to the lock screen, for whatever reason … With this app you can disconnect them from JB 4.2.
