Apple now has apps for Windows Phone and Android – Applesfera

<-. article- metadata ->

A side effect of the latest addition to Apple is that the company now has an app, Beats Music within the stores Android and Windows Phone . Not the first time, change Chomp for Android was available when Apple was with her and was soon withdrawn, but maybe this time is different. According confirms Tim Bradshaw of the Financial Times after interviewing the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook has said that the app will still be available after the agreement

Weather confirm or deny this, but it certainly seems a successful move now that the iTunes music store live their lowest. And after all, a year ago that Cook had no problem with taking apps for Android already said. “If we think it makes sense to us, we will,” , which clashes with the view reflected Steve Jobs in his biography by Walter Isaacson.

“We launched iTunes in Windows order to sell more iPods. But I see no advantage to launch our music app for Android, except to make happier users of Android. And I do not make happy Android users. ” – Steve Jobs

Beats Music has gotten over 250,000 suscriptore s since its launch in the U.S. last January with a promising startup that will undoubtedly go to once again Apple take over and expand the service to the rest of the world. The sense, the advantage of keeping Betas for rival platforms this time would improve their chance against Spotify with 10 million subscribers after 6 years betting on streaming music.

we have done with a streaming service that we believe is the first to hit the mark.

“We have made a streaming service that we believe is the first to hit the mark” Apple CEO says targeting Beats Music as one of the main reasons behind the acquisition of 3.000 million, by far the most costly to the company on the block in its history. But this is only the beginning. Jimmy Iovine said that Beats Music is only a fraction of what they wanted to build , and now, with the resources Apple can achieve the quality they wanted. Will they receive the same improvements all versions? It remains to be seen

Google and its hardware projects; Is Android in them? – The Free Android

What began as a search engine to internet has ended up being one of the largest companies worldwide and now, the most valuable Globe . Google did not want to stick to your internet browser or the Chrome browser, or to one of their products that gives you more benefits, Android .

Google has gone one step further and has invested in research , development and creation of new technologies based on buying companies and go support them financially to this project follow up or simply being born from the same team of engineers from Google.

Today there are numerous prototypes of Google who have not seen the light, either because it is not the time or because they are not fit to be sold. Other projects Google have come to market but have been unsuccessful. Risking not always work and Google knows it.

Just see the failure that was Nexus Q with the update Google Play Music breaking compatibility with this device Android, Google and put an end to this media center.

But see much hardware project, what software will built?, Is an adaptation of Android for each device, will it opt ??for other special operating system for each project?

Moto Moto X and G , pure Android optimized hardware

Android is definitely one of the pillars more important to Google. A great many users like the green android and want the devices marketed by Google or other marks that incorporate the operating system works well and know that it fosters development.

You can find mobile devices that incorporate Android in its purest style, such as the Nexus range , Google Play Devices and two devices that have been much talked about for its great value, Moto Moto X and G . Two separate devices are manufactured almost entirely by Motorola , but the help of Google is also present in these terminals.

Glass Accessible Android, and Android Chromecast Wear

As you have been throwing other devices, such as Google Glass , Chromecast or go no further, smartwatch Android Wear , has had to adapt Android to another set of needs. These devices are designed based Android but as far as user interface and functionality it offers, is totally different from what we have found in smartphones and tablets. For Google Glass is known to be based on a version of Android ICS specially modified for that device.

On the other hand, Chromecast also is based on Android but its functions have been reduced to the minimum so that its operation when connected to the TV is optimal and fast. Last but not least, we find the new OS for smartwatch, Android Wear. This operating system is an adaptation of Android for small screens and the needs that we would have to incorporate one wearable device . Android Will we meet also in other projects that Google works?

smart lenses for diabetics

we

Within the wide range of projects covering Google, with some truly amazing. An example of this is the l contacting authorities glucose detector for diabetic people . Incorporate this lens? Version of Android for extremely basic operation of this device or opt for some other specific?. We also ask the same question with robotic cheetah able to run 47 km / h or the newly announced Google fully autonomous car. You can take the car you built Android for the user to select routes and others but what the Cheetah robot too?.

Ara Project and Project Tango, joining Google and Motorola

also have to talk about the projects born at the junction of Google and Motorola , as Ara Project and Project Tango . Two pretty ambitious projects that could give an evolutionary leap in technology. With Ara Project we could create ourselves as our smartphone , buying the parts separately and putting them in a main board. This device, like the rest of mobile devices from Google, Android incorporated lead but could also lead a surprise.

As for Tango Project , is a software capable of analyze more accurately the environment around us through cameras and sensors would offer for sale as parts Ara Project. Claim Android software is adapted to be created or other special

Google intends to enter the home automation Nest

Nest , the famous company smart thermostats, lost to Google and now is completely unknown what happens after the research regarding their products. Is the automation normal users will approach through Android or choose to incorporate or create a simpler and distanced but with Android support this?.

In my opinion, if they incorporated Google Now but with thermostats and besides that you provide other information would be a turning point in technology for the home.

Internet for all with Loon Project

We should also mention Loon Project , a draft by Google in which hot air balloons internet would take all sites in the world to be fully connected to the world. A good idea for explorers and travelers who venture into areas with little or rather no coverage.

Trekker backpack for travelers who will capture all

Finally we should point the way Google project as Trekker , a backpack equipped with a 15.5 MP camera similar to those carried Google vehicles and thanks to them we are able to drive around cities without leaving home. The idea is that Trekker with explorers and so take pictures of the most remote places on the planet , allowing anyone to see from the top of Everest or the Grand Canyon. For now this special case given certain undertakings from third parties and are not expected anyone to get to buy them.

Android an extendible to (almost) all operating system

As a personal opinion, I think Android can go a long way to fit anything. Linux operating system is lightweight compared to others and taking it to its most basic point can perform functions and provide a really low weight. All know that Android is based on Linux, so if you take the green android all these projects not think it was a step back in the development of this so new hardware.

Incorporating Google Now thermostats Nest would be a success because nearer home automation to the general public . If the autonomous car project would also incorporate a relief for Android users because it would make things easier if other mobile devices such as Ara Project follow in the footsteps of the Nexus, would fully exploit each such component.

In short, I think Android should remain in the new Google hardware as it would be a success. In my opinion, I think the launch of the Gear by Samsung with Tizen is a right decision disposing of Android Wear, surely they would know this before you decide to incorporate your own operating system. If something works, improve it, but do not change it.

Spotify launches a brand new Android app to avoid … – abcdesevilla.es

<- Disqus -> <- Print Button -> <- Email Button -> <- Anchor link to item video below - if it exists - > <- Anchor link to item image gallery below - if it exists -> <- Item text -> Yesterday

Spotify announced in an official statement on its website that one user had been hacked and their data had been compromised. Apparently the cyberattack could have enter a security breach of the official application for Android operating systems .

This is why the company has decided to launch today an entirely new application with different name on Android. The company said yesterday that soon an update to the official app would be required but have finally decided to publish a brand new and prevent people from using the old one.

From today, users who attempt to access the official Android application will have a message that they are asked to update the tool if you want to continue using it. Therefore, it is impossible to continue using the application if no update before we go.

When you access the link to update the application directs us to an entirely new app, named Spotify Music instead of the previous only called Spotify. With this clean slate the company wants to avoid any breach of security that might prejudice the private information of users.

The new application of Spotify is available on Google Play and the Amazon app store App Store. Once we we install the new version we asked to erase the previous app to avoid confusion. This update is a negative result for users is that they will have to re-download their playlists for use in offline mode. As we reported yesterday the company, users of iOS and Windows Phone not been affected and need to update or install a new application.

Android may be preparing version 4.5 Lollipop – Andro4all

Many holders of Nexus devices are awaiting the arrival of the new update of Android, 4.4.3 KitKat . Well, it may well be that update never came. And it is rumored to be preparing and the new Android version 4.5 Lollipop .

Android Geeks was intended to confirm that the upgrade to Android 4.4.3 on Nexus devices KitKat on May 23. Gone are the days and that update has not arrived, so and we sense that Google has decided to postpone . Advances in the future version 4.5 update that could have slowed to the point of reaching cancel.

There is the possibility of last minute problems with this new version is detected, and if we consider that would to be launched to solve existing problems, would make no sense to throw. Neither makes sense to devote a lot of time fixing problems now KitKat Android 4.4.3, it is expected that the new Android 4.5 Lollipop version is announced at the end of next month to come, in the Google I / O 2014 .

As usual now, update will be enjoyed in the first Nexus , and there is talk that it could be launched during the month of July, once completed the Google I / O event Thus, Google reserves a month later to continue fixing bugs and improving its next update.

Another reason why Google has stopped dry this update, you labor savings that will mean companies as Sony, Samsung, LG and HTC, which in software departments will not have to waste time adjusting to having updates to 4.4.3 around the corner Lollipop Android 4.5. Google wants to avoid the fragmentation of devices that currently suffers , and you want the maximum number of devices to be updated to the latest version without updates will be locked in as little value could have been 4.4.3 KitKat.

yet an official confirmation from Google , which may be delayed until the completion of the event is expected. The new version will incorporate developments in the aspect graph , with some changes in the interface, which are demanded by users who have not seen a big cosmetic change since the arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.

Although it seems that there will be no update KitKat, can not rule out the release of Android 4.4.3 KitKat , not the first time Google changes its strategy at the last moment , a few weeks for Google I / O 2014. The latter would occur in the event that the update had improved security that Google itself considered essential . We will continue to pay attention to these developments.

NDR, the secret to attract Ubuntu Android apps – MuyLinux

Not the first time he says, but is the first step to get firm. To get attract more applications from Android to Ubuntu better , and we refer to Ubuntu for now only works on phones (not all).

The idea comes from away, say, although it has not been until this year that things have begun to move. In February Canonical unveiled some agreements with a few third-party apps , and even said he hoped to bring “ the top 50″ of apps for Android and iOS to Ubuntu ” . Easier said than done, obviously.

Developing NDR (the robot Bicentennial Man which gradually became human), by It therefore represents an attractive opportunity to pave the way for Android applications to Ubuntu. NDR is a tool created by Michael Hall, developer Canonical, that “ not allow code to run Android on Ubuntu, nor convert the code to native code Android “. Then?

“ NDR recreate the database framework of an Android application as a native application if Ubuntu efforts be made to , providing a starting point from which to make an Android application that works fine in Ubuntu with minimal effort “. Or so the theory goes. In Launchpad have the code.

The question you is, will the Android developers for the work? Because Ubuntu can be amazing, but applications that everyone wants …

A new virus ‘hijacks’ money claims Android devices and … – ABC.es

Trojans ‘ransomware’ so far only attacked computers

A Trojan ‘ransomware’ so far attacked computers, it is doing now in Android devices. The modus operandi of this virus e s lock your computer once it has downloaded it and ask money to continue using our terminal .

This virus redirects the user to a web page pornographic where is encouraged to access an application file containing the ‘malware’ that causes the device to be infected only if access to download as Kaspersky Lab has detailed

Thus the deception that makes this virus is to show the user a snapshot accusing him of displaying and disseminating pornography through the device. The message includes information which tells the user to pay a fine of 300 euros through MoneyPark to avoid a prison sentence of 5 to 11 years.

The virus is not only in Spain but have variants in more than 30 countries among which are UK, Australia, USA, Germany and France. So, Kaspersky Lab has developed a series of tips and advice for users of Android away and avoid these threats from their mobile devices

First not recommend using Wi-Fi public that “unreliable” and they suggest that it is safer to use 3G connections or 4G and is not convenient to use wireless networks such as Bluetooth or infrared , unless it is very necessary.

have also emphasized the fact always monitor where the phone is left and enter a password to access it and not lose sight of security solutions incorporate a geolocation system that sends a link to a map locating the phone if that it is stolen or lost. Also, if a new SIM is inserted into the device, the user is informed new phone number intruder , as Kaspersky Lab

Third, have urged upgrade “constantly” operating system and applications in smartphones, it is one of the best options to keep the mobile with the latest security measures built by developers, both operating as the ‘apps’. systems

also recommended to read the permissions granted to applications and sites visited, ‘ignore’ spam messages and SMS Related , encrypt data and confidential documents and “ avoid jailbreak ‘or’ rooteado ‘iOS and Android smartphones.”

On Finally, have suggested that “should not open links from unknown users” , no matter proceed a text message, an email, Facebook or Twitter.

Android 4.4.3 for Nexus could have been canceled for Android … – Android Help

If you have a Nexus then you’re probably already looking forward to launching the new version of Android 4.4.3 firmware KitKat was going to reach the Nexus in recent days as the data were published. However, it is possible that the release of the new version for the Nexus has been canceled due to the launch of Android 4.5 Lollipop .

Android Geeks claimed that they had information allowed to confirm that the Android 4.4.3 update for Nexus KitKat would be launched on 23 May. However, three days later still no update, and everything seems to indicate that Google have postponed the release of the update. Android Geeks says it’s possible that Google has arisen cancel the launch of Android 4.4.3 KitKat. Lollipop Android 4.5 could have been the culprit that version of Android 4.4.3 has finally canceled KitKat.

If indeed Google has decided to postpone an update, because there were problems with it. It is possible that last minute problems with this new version is detected, and if we consider that it would be launched to solve existing problems, made no sense to throw. Neither makes sense to devote a lot of time fixing problems now KitKat Android 4.4.3, it is expected that the new version Android 4.5 Lollipop is announced late next month comes in the Google I / O 2014. Chances are that the Nexus will be the first to receive the update, and could be available in late June, the same day it is filed. In this case, Google would have a month to fix any errors KitKat Android 4.4.3, and integrate all the new Android 4.5 version in Lollipop.

Google and fight against fragmentation

One of the benefits that Google chose not to upgrade to Android 4.4.3 KitKat, leaving so little to Lollipop Android 4.5, it is easy to get users transition from the previous version to the new. Why? It seems that Samsung was already testing the new version Android 4.4.3 KitKat to develop the update for their smartphones. Samsung usually takes a few months to launch the update after Google launched the new version, and so does the rest of the companies. It is likely that by the end of next month, Samsung continue working on the update for the major smartphones from the company. This would make could spend less time and staff and Lollipop Android 4.5 Update released this new version for smartphones, and all for taking the time to an earlier version that comes with very little new.

In general, if Google decides not to release the update to Android 4.4.3 KitKat, labor-saving development departments from companies like Sony, Samsung, LG and HTC, which makes them to work actively in updating to Android 4.5 Lollipop when cast. We should note that Google wants virtually no fragmentation exists in Android. That is, most users have the most current version of the operating system. Any action that allows manufacturers release before the update and installed before users will benefit the share figures OS versions.

Lollipop Android 4.5 in June

A In turn, this would also serve to confirm the launch of Android 4.5 Lollipop in June. Shouted, but still you will have to confirm officially. The new version would incorporate significant developments, especially as far as visuals are concerned. Android 4.4 KitKat came with very little new as far as graphics are concerned, and it was logical to expect that the new version would come with major GUI changes. We have seen changes in catches of many Google applications like Gmail or Google+. However, the changes that matter most are those of own interface, settings menus, the notification bar, Google widgets, etc..

However, we can not rule out the release of Android KitKat 4.4.3, it is possible that although Google has postponed the launch, launch the update still missing a few weeks for Google I / O 2014. At the end of the day, this update could have security enhancements that were essential , and that should come as soon as the Nexus

Samsung is already testing Android 4.4.3 on Samsung … KitKat – MovilZona.es

Android 4.4.3

KitKat is, so far, the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system. This version, with respect to the above, introduces minor modifications, but not too important changes that reflect the evolution of an increasingly mature system. While we wait for the next version introduces changes to company level and, moreover, changes that would affect the system interface, the leading South Korean manufacturer consumer technology advances in the development of corresponding firmware updates to Android 4.4.3 KitKat , which will arrive securely fomra, the Samsung Galaxy Samsung Galaxy S5 and S4 LTE Advanced. As for firmware updates, Samsung users are not too happy after the company ceases to users of Samsung Galaxy S3 without KitKat. And, although the manufacturer is justified by the “poor” RAM Galaxy S3, we must bear in mind that Samsung itself has already launched handsets with the same RAM, worst technical configuration, and all accompanied by KitKat, then it seems more a strategy than reality. In any case, the updates keep coming to other smartphones, and especially the terminal reference for this new generation, the Samsung Galaxy S5. However, it is not the only and accompanied receive the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced, but is not surprising that the Galaxy S4 “standard” between the respective roles of Samsung.

According to internal documents leaked that Samsung, the South Korean company is already developing the firmware update which will come with Android 4.4.3 KitKat just two smartphones. We talked, as was already mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy S5 in its different variants and LTE Samsung Galaxy S4 A. Again, we insist that it is strange that not part of this update the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 “standard “. However, it is also possible that the manufacturer begins later development update for these two aforementioned devices. In any case, we will be watching their progress

What can you learn Android iOS, and vice versa? – ALT1040

<- Google_ad_section_start ->

iOS and Android are clearly the two most advanced systems on the current mobile landscape. But that does not mean they are perfect, because, like everything in the world around us, both platforms have their pros and cons. However, the road to perfection yes pursue both Google and Apple, both platforms can learn a lot from each other. Yes, although for some it may seem impossible, iOS can learn several things from Android Android and can also learn several things from iOS, like a kind of feedback. Yes, always preserving the principles and foundations that have characterized both platforms since its inception

. Important note: all these appraisals are based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat by Nexus 5 iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 5s, the latest versions available for both devices. Layers of customization, mods, ROMs and third party applications are not taken into account, because we want to try both systems in their purest versions, as Google and Apple’s design.

What can

learn iOS Android

The first thing you can learn iOS Android is the battery information. In Android you can access a list of applications, see the percentages consumed by each application, how long they have been active … etc. That is, more details on our device and what is causing the autonomy of our device off at more or less . In iOS, for now, only a few find it confusing figures and total usage time on that, for most users, it is insufficient.

A similar find mobile data consumption . iOS does allow us to see how much data you consumed every application on the terminal, but the way the data showing the level of detail of them and the ability to perform actions based on that data (such as automatically disconnect the data connection we once spent the bonus monthly data) is much lower than Android offers.

Share information between applications is also a point where you can learn iOS Android. It is true that developers such as Reeder Tapbots or integrate other services into your own application (like Pocket or Buffer) and save this lack, but everything would be much easier if Apple offered this possibility natively , then we would not be limited to what the developer has included in the app.
class=”alignright”> Share
also Apple should give the user to set defaults for certain actions apps option. For example: use as native Chrome browser instead of Safari. Or, if I open a podcast, throw in Pocket Casts instead of the official application for iOS Podcasts. Of course, the implementation should be better than Android offers, which can be a bit confusing for the average user at certain times. Create a hub in the application specific settings where we can specify which applications are automatically launched with each link or action, for example, would be a good deployment.

And how could it be otherwise, customization is also a point that iOS should learn from Android. I do not mean to incorporate widgets or allow customization of the homescreen similar to Android, as each platform has its essence and its own characteristics that define their personality. I mean things like able to change the default keyboard or create shortcuts in our homescreen to perform specific actions. For example: create a shortcut to a specific contact, a list of Spotify we open with some frequency or a place where we do Foursquare check-in daily. Ie something similar to what we can do with the web in Safari.

What can you learn

iOS Android

In the same way that iOS can learn a lot from Android, Google’s platform can also take a number of interesting ideas mobile operating system from Apple.

One such idea is more control of privacy. In iOS only find a section dedicated to privacy, where we can choose which applications have access to different parts of the terminal. In Android, unfortunately, did not find anything similar, and I think it is very necessary to prevent some applications to access the phone features do not want anyone to have access (see the location, the microphone … etc..) .
Android should allow greater control over privacy and incoming notifications
similar situation find notifications. Some manufacturers have incorporated into their coats a section where personalization regulate which applications can send notifications and what type of notification can send , but most Android devices and, above all, the AOSP version of Android KitKat-4.4 does not incorporate anything similar, so it is something that Google should be considered in future versions of Android. And yes, you can disable notifications for a specific application in Settings> Applications, but is similar to that previously quoted the statistics of battery iOS case: is there but it is inadequate and well below what makes the another platform.

Another details that Android could learn from iOS is the email application. Not as far as features are concerned (because Android is really good), but unification. Android have an app for Gmail and one for other email services . For most users this will not be a problem, since they use Gmail, but if, like me, you combine accounts for various services, is much more helpful to have access to all email accounts from a single application, as does eg iOS.

Android iOS can also learn from the implementation of QuickSettings . It is true that the Android sat before but the way iOS has implemented (Control Center) is much more successful . More orderly, away from incoming notifications and more accessible (easier flicking upward sliding two fingers don top-down).

And finally, applications. The Android applications, although have improved greatly over recent years, are still somewhat behind in general applications for iOS. Especially if we focus on applications for tablets, where the differences between iOS and Android are even greater.

There are probably many more ways than Android and iOS can learn from each other. However, these are the main and most noticeable to most users .

Nokia X2 features of the new Android phone leak – ComputerHoy

Microsoft still committed Android . More or less.

After the acquisition and absorption of Nokia, the Redmond company is responsible for 100% of new smartphones of the brand. And looks like it will continue to operate the Nokia X range, while maintaining its philosophy.

The phone market was revolutionized few months ago when Nokia , the official brand Windows Phone , announced the launch of various smartphones Android .

The new Nokia X, X + and XL disappointed, not smartphones themselves but for what they were: low-end phones with limited hardware budget, designed for the entry segment.

Despite this, they have their market, given the large number of emerging countries seeking affordable Android smartphone.

Nokia Poster X, X + and XL pictures and videos

This weekend has leaked a benchmark, via Digital Trends, a mysterious new Nokia with Android smartphone, called Nokia X2 DS (RM-1013) that many identify as the new Nokia X2 , which even has leaked an image, you can see on the picture to open the news.

If you notice, the housing has two colors, green and orange. It is unclear whether it will, or assembly to indicate that there will be at least two different cases. Most likely it is the latter.

If we ignore the AnTuTu benchmark , do not expect great improvements in the Nokia X2 hardware . I come equipped with a Snapdragon processor MSM8x10 dual core, 1.2 GHz . The GPU would Adreno 305 . Previous rumors spoke of the new Nokia X2 bring a quad-core Snapdragon MSM8210.

also include 1 GB RAM , a small improvement over the 512 and 768 MB of previous models.

With 4 GB of storage space.

As to the screen, maintaining the same resolution as the Nokia X 480×800 pixels , but is slightly larger, from 4 to 4.3 inches .

Cameras also improve a little. While the Nokia X has 3 Mpix camera back, the new Nokia X2 use a 5 Mpix class=”bold”> . The front camera is 0.3 Mpix class=”bold”>

In short, a slightly more powerful hardware, but still within the low range. The key will be the price, which is what will make the Nokia X2 more or less attractive.

Apparently Microsoft several different models within the range X2 is preparing. No information on a possible release date.

So would the new Android interface for car – Andro4all

A few months ago we told you how Google had allied with certain automotive brands Prestigious Android in order to bring our cars. GM, Honda, Audi and Hyundai are Google and NVIDIA together with members of the Automotive Open Alliance , and although there is little information on the future integration of the operating system in our cars, little by little pictures are coming to light .

According to Android Police, the appearance of an Android operating system for cars could be similar to what you see in this article. According to them, not be far removed from that we use in our Android smartphones -open and customizable, though as all rumor, this interface might not be the final. Possibly know about this interesting proposal in the Google I / O this year, so we’ll Stand by.

Playing Music

First so I could look application for car music player . We see cover art of the currently playing song with a translucent bar, plus a large and easy to press control tactics. And of course could not miss a Google search button.

Make a call

To perform a call to a contact, it is clear that Google would have to be make a simple and not distract us while driving. With a simple voice command , we should be able to access our address book, much like what is happening with Google Search in our smartphones manner.

Send Message

Another interesting actions that allow us to Android for the car, is the ability to send messages to our contacts with our voice . This way we will not have both hands on the wheel and we will advise of any unforeseen arises-for example, if we arrived late for a meeting.

Conclusion

It is exciting to see how could get our favorite operating system to major car brands. Automobile and technology have always held hands , and it was no surprise that Google eventually decided to invest in this sector. Surely this is not the final interface will be, we know that Android will change to the car lot, in order to be more user-friendly before its official launch, so surely we should wait a little longer before we see anything definitive .

What do you think Android Car? You see with good eyes smart car

16 tricks to optimize your Android device – The Free Android

Because Android is open source, allows us to go further and to modify certain aspects of the operating system in order to give power pushed to our device.

Today I will explain how without having much knowledge about Android can optimize your device to go faster and to be reduce battery consumption . Tips are very easy to configure options and also explain in detail how you carry them out.

Make it clear that you will meet here with tips for people who have no root in your terminal and a few other tips for people if they have gone a step further.

1. Disables

animations

When you open and close an application we animations which improves the visual aspect we manage our device. If we reduce the animations, applications load almost instantly so that you begin to use it at the time, no time (nor is it an eternity) to wait for it to open.

This tendremo to go “ About phone ” and press seven times faster on “ Build Number “. Here we will enable the hidden menu developer. We return back and a new section called “development options” appears. Walked here and go to the section “Drawing ” and where it says “Scale animations “, these three paragraphs, disable them.

If Home pulsáis changed once see that those close instantly without having any animation settings. We talked about this advice that nothing improves performance device applications to upload before, but it gives a sense of speed to use. In my case I chose to reduce to 0.5x because I found it weird to open so quickly. Everyone likes.

2. Use Still Images

One of the things I was told when I bought my first Android was “ not use an animated wallpaper, battery and spent resources ” and how right he was.

Use dynamic wallpapers in the background consumes resources that could be used by other applications that do need them. Also be clear diminish a little battery life throughout the day. Even going a little further, I choose a fixed wallpaper with dark can also enhance the autonomy of the device. It is not going to last three days but wanted a few minutes that could be very valuable.

3. Reduce the number of widgets

not use widgets to decorate your phone because resources you are consuming yourself silly. Having an open widget is like having the application open all the time to use our device. This widget will consume a little less battery resources and open the application itself. So my advice is to eliminéis all useless and do not turn around.

4. Reduce number of home screens

No optimization is terminal if we remove home screens not to use, but it is efficient to use . With two or three home screens will have, at least in my opinion, more than enough to have the applications that we use most on hand.

5. Eliminate multitasking applications that do not use

One of the best things you can find in Android multitasking is . Within the recent apps menu execute applications remain open and if we close with the Home , is still running in the background. If instead we close with the reverse button are we still show in the section on recent applications and therefore, running and consuming resources.

It is therefore advisable closing when they are not going to use again for that memory space is occupied by another application itself going to use. So remember reviewing recent applications from time to time and close. You can also use Greenify so you hibernate certain applications to not autoejecuten in the background, I do and I’m doing very well.

6 . Use an alternative launcher

In some devices the default launcher can consume more resources than an alternative launcher of Play Store could eventually consume. There are many alternatives on Play Store launchers as to refer to all types and colors. Some more and some less customizable but after all, consume less and improve device performance.

There are very famous launchers and can customize quite such Nova Launcher Action Launcher , Aviate and many more. Installing one of these and closing the anterior (from the recent applications) will notice as you can go a little better the device and the end of the day, have a bit more autonomy.

Requires Android 4.0 +

Version: 2.3

Size: 3.4 M

Requires Android 4.0.3 and above

Version: 2.0.4

Size: 4.1 M

7. An application for everything

The Play Store is full of applications and we offer several alternatives for each purpose. For example there are several email clients, twitter clients, music players, etc.. But there will always be one of them that use it up and like it. So what do you want more installed applications that do the same and do not use them?.

8. Clear the cache and removes junk files

For this purpose one of the best apps for my taste is Clean Master. With this application from which we have spoken you can see which files are taking up more space will account clean application cache have a lot of pent and remove junk files or empty folders. Definitely a quick way to give you a cleaned your Android. There are other alternatives to this application and that we show in this Special Applications.

Requires Android Varies with device

Version : Varies with device

Size: Varies with device

9. If you KitKat, used instead of Dalvik ART

With the upgrade came a new library KitKat would be responsible for handling all our smartphone, we discuss ART which is based on Java . According to people who have tried using this way get plus speed and less battery consumption. I have it in my case I have enabled yes I noticed the change but for nothing is a miracle of the gods.

To enable this mode you will have to do to enable the developer options which I already explained above and change the Run Time Dalvik a ART . The terminal will turn off and it will take a while to start because it has to adapt applications to this new mode.

10. Uninstall applications that do not use

We saw earlier that it was advisable to have only one application for one purpose but if you have only a single application and do not use it, is better than uninstall. Some types of applications are self-executing in the background and begins to consume resources unnecessarily cache. So if we remove will remove the problem.

There are several applications in Play Store that allow you to eliminate batch applications, such as App Eater

Requires Android 4.0 +

Version: 1.2.1

Size: 791k

11. Reduce accounts that sync

In the Settings section we find a section are accounts that we inserted in our device and to be synchronized periodically. Of course this consumes resources and battery that uses either internet or WiFi data you synchronize for these accounts. So if you do not use or do not need an account to continuously synchronize, synchronization deshabilítale.

12. Factory restore it

Sometimes a clean break can also be good. If for a few days you start to notice a strange behavior in your phone as slow or poor battery life, good formatting could do. This would go to “ Settings> Backup> Factory data reset “. Our device will shut down and start the restore process. When we finished the device as we bought it. This is also very useful if you want to sell or give away a used device, for example.

13. Removes installed applications

We already talked about the applications preinstalled on Samsung devices and their little use. Besides these applications consume resources in the background and storage space. To completely uninstall need root and an app like Titanium Backup and Systep Unnistaller App. With these applications we will remove all applications preinstalled default on the device and recover that lost space

Requires Android 1.5 and above

Revision:. 6.1.5.6

Size: 6.2 M

Requires Android 2.1 and higher

Revision: 1.7.114

Size: 955K

14. Uses a modified ROM

In many cases, it is best to use a modified ROM brings to the default device. Within the scene of Android there are a variety of ROMs that can choose and install on our device. We can choose one of CyanogenMod, famous for its performance and optimization, or AOKP paranoidandroid about personalization, or other less known as SlimROMs or OmniROM which are very good too.

15. Overclocking

Our device is powered by a processor that incorporates within that processor and powered by a clock that governs the times of the processes carried out. When we talk of 2.3 GHz for example, means that makes 2,300,000,000 cycles per second or better, operations per second.

So, if by a root application increase the processor clock time, perform more operations per second and improve the speed of the device. Of course, you increase this involves a greater expenditure battery . Plus they have to do really well inform you which is the highest speed allowed by your device, otherwise you could stay with a nice paperweight.

Requires Android 2.1 and higher

Version: beta Size: 23M

16. Manages autostart applications

When you start the device also starts everything behind and next to that, we have installed applications. So if you chose well applications that do want to boot when we fire the device, we find a boot faster and therefore we must not close after that open themselves have.

Startup Manager you can manage applications that start at the beginning. If you are root, you should have it installed
