Android Based Devices and iPhone – Which is Better?

Image
It’s a really hard thing to do trying to determine which platform is better between Android and iOS because both have their pros and cons. If you’re an Apple freak, you will be of the opinion that there’s nothing comparable with your iPhone but the same thing goes for Android OS users. I’m using an iPhone but I plan on getting an Android smartphone in the near future, not because my iPhone doesn’t serve purpose, but because there are certain things I love in Android OS as well. I love my iPhone, there’s no doubt about that but that won’t blind me from telling the truth about these two mobile operating systems. Even though I don’t personally use an Android device on a day to day basis, I know all about it because I’m quite used to it and can tell the difference. Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder, admits there are certain things he wish his iPhone does but couldn’t. “My primary phone is the iPhone,” Steve Wozniak says. “I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android

10 Must-have Apps for your New Android Device

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been busy loading up my Samsung Galaxy SII with all sort of applications; useless ones I’m never gonna need and some very important ones. Some of these apps will work quite well on non-rooted Android devices and some need root access to fully function. I consider them what every Android device should have because I personally use them: While some of them are utilities to increase productivity, others are simply for fun. I used these apps on a rooted Jelly Bean 4.1.2 so you should check their compatibility with your device. 1.  Titanium Backup You are here:  Home   /   Mobile   /   Android   /  10 Must-have Apps for your New Android Device 10 Must-have Apps for your New Android Device Posted by  Don Caprio  on February 22nd, 2013 03:43 PM.  Leave a Comment   Over the last few weeks, I’ve been busy loading up my Samsung Galaxy SII with all sort of applications; useless ones I’m never gonna need and some very important ones.

The Best Android Jelly Bean Phones in the Market

Image
Representing the newest release for Android,  Jelly Bean  has received two key updates, and is now at version 4.2.1. Available since last November, Jelly Bean has been specifically designed to offer much faster browsing and a slicker interface for smartphone and tablet users.  Jelly Bean is particularly effective at reducing buffering and making smartphones run faster. Key to this increase in speed is the amount of accessibility and control that can be achieved through an Android phone’s interface; it’s easier to use, and you can share information much faster using Android Beam. The Jelly Bean update similarly enables better Wi-Fi protection and other encryption features, as well as improved wireless display sharing, and a more efficient camera. In terms of the Android phones that are currently shipping with Jelly Bean, some of the best include: HTC Droid DNA This Verizon phone comes with Jelly Bean as standard, and benefits from its 1.5 GHz quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor

Rooting Infinix Hot 2 was much easier than I thought. Before going through the long procedure of trying to use software programs on PC to root any Android device, I always try out one click apps available on mobile first. As with most MTK phones, you can easily root them with Kingroot. Disclaimer:  You’re doing it at your own risk and I won’t be held responsible in case you eventually brick your device or lose your warranty. If you’re just getting started with rooting,  you should know that after rooting your phone, it’s advisable to unroot before performing an OTA update or restoring factoring settings. A rooted Infinix Hot 2 I tried KingRoot 4.0 and it worked. It’s a an old version I simply transferred from another device and was surprised when it rooted the device. Here are the steps. 1. Download  KingRoot-4.1.0.249.zip 2. Go to  Settings > Security  and enable  Unknown Sources . 2. Install the APK file and start the installed Kingroot app. 3. You need a

Facebook “Home”: 8 Reasons Why this Application Sucks

Before getting “ Facebook Home ” think twice… Facebook is revealing to the millions of users around the world a new Android phone experience. The notion behind this new “Home” service is to fetch content right to the user through the home screen of the phone instead of requiring the user to check application on the gadget. The co-founder and owner of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg aims that your Android phone turns into a sharing gadget or in some way a “ Facebook Phone ”. Definitely “Facebook Home” makes everyone thrilled and glad, but before that you should think twice and wait. Try to figure out first if this new app “Facebook Home” is truly beneficial for you. Will the connivance of Android and Facebook be a better experience? Try to figure out as well if this new app for Android is truly created to make you more associated to the world or the reason behind it is just to put together the Facebook Business into your Android device. Below are 8 reasons to hate FB home: It’s jus

Rooting your Infinix Zero is easy and can be done in one click but like I always say before any rooting procedure, you’re doing it at your own risk and I won’t be held responsible in case you eventually brick your device or lose your warranty You can disregard that first paragraph, it’s just formality.   This process should be safe and I don’t see any problems arising from it unless you choose to upgrade the device or restore factoring settings.
