Just when you thought you have the latest and greatest i-Product, you’ll surely feel disappointing to look at these early teasers about Apple’s upcoming flagship smartphone iPhone 6.

Well, there are other rumours stating that we could anticipate the new iPhone6 as early as June 2013! We can take a pinch of salt for that. Continue Reading »

By now, I guess most Samsung Galaxy S3 users have updated their phone firmware/OS from Android 4.0 ICS to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Android Jelly Bean offers some enhancements over Ice Cream Sandwich. Some of the most notable enhancements include Project Butter which gives buttery smooth UI, Google Now the personal assistant search and the improved notification system. Details of these improvements will be discussed in another topic. Anyway, I’ve came across some users complaining the lag and sluggishness on the newly updated Jelly-Beaned Galaxy S3. This give me some headaches too as I myself did experienced this sluggishness on my newly updated Galaxy S3. I’ve did some research, some trial and error approach of uninstalling certain apps, and voila. I’ve got the solution for this problem. Continue Reading »

Google latest Android OS version 4.1 Jelly Bean boosts many new features, and one of them is called Google Sound Search Widget. What this widget does? It conveniently let you identify an unknown song by tapping the widget. Sounds cool? This widget is only available to Jelly Bean devices. But thanks to some XDA modders, we finally able to get the APK installer. The previous APK requires a root access and this one here doesn’t. And best of all, you don’t need a Jelly Bean OS to run it.

Tested on Android 4.0 ICS and I can’t assure if it will run properly on OS prior to ICS. And yeah, for those having Samsung latest flagship Galaxy S 3 and HTC One X, this widget will run on your device.

Head over to http://androidspin.com/2012/07/02/google-sound-search-widget-from-jelly-bean-now-available-for-download-no-root-required/ for download link.

Well, the wait has finally ended. I’ve got the same reaction as everybody else, dissapointed at the first sight. It looks more of an HTC-esque device (HTC Sensation XL?), rather than an evolution over its predecessor Samsung Galaxy S II. Just refer to this picture below.

Samsung Galaxy S III

First impression is kinda let down, however it’s more than meets, you might feel surprised … Continue Reading »

I think it is best for me to put this article up before Samsung releases the much anticipated flagship-of-the-flagship Galaxy S III. Anyway, for the past few months, it’s been quite happening when it comes to Android and mobile technology development; Google’s latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS, quad core mobile CPU, over-hyped voice command (if you know what I mean), Qualcomm new Krait CPU … etc. Must be quite confusing if you are not a tech junkie. But in layman’s terms, it means better, faster, much user friendly device for your pocket. If your phone dated two years old or more or you simply want an upgrade, here are some of the best flagship Android smartphones to buy during this period of April to June Q2. Continue Reading »

Don't get wrong, this is the Asus Transformer Prime. It isn't the new Google Nexus ICS-glaced tablet

Google with Asus as the OEM to release Nexus Tablet running Android 4.0 ICS? Ya you read it right. The rumours of Google doing a Nexus Tablet is not new. But with Asus instead? I would have thought Google would choose Samsung instead. But Asus? Well, probably because Asus did pretty awesome tablet lately. Continue Reading »
