<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Arizona Senator John McCain<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/21/john-mccain-apple_n_3314325.html" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">famously asked Apple CEO Tim Cook<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></a>“<i>Why the hell do I have to keep updating my apps on my iPhone all the time and why you don’t fix that</i>?” I’m waiting for the day that McCain or some other Congress critter flip-flops and asks for instructions on how to turn automatic app updates back off again. Tim Cook and Apple fixed automatic updates for Apps and caught up with Android. Windows users got the feature with the move to Windows 8.1. So, now users of the three major mobile platforms can automatically update Apps until the cows come home. Huzzah!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Or maybe not. Call me old fashioned, and perhaps not a maverick, but I prefer to have some control over when things change on my devices. I may not be able to control how the NSA grabs my data going out, but I can at least stop App updates from coming in when I don’t want them to. So, I keep automatic updates turned off. I run devices on Windows 8.1, iOS 7, and Android 4.3. I keep automatic app updates turned off for the simple reason that even when manually downloading an update I’ve seen updates go bad. Which means you need to wait for the developer to release a new update. Admittedly for the most part this can be a first world problem, but when it happens it is horribly frustrating.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
I used to semi-religiously hit the Update All button in App Stores whenever updates appeared. But after being bitten once or twice I have become a little more circumspect about this.</div>

Fortunately, users can turn off automatic updates on all three platforms. Here’s how to turn off auto app updates on each platform:</div>

As expected, Sony is pushing the app as the only thing users need to stay connected to the console when they are and aren’t at home.</div>

Sony is also extending the PlayStation Store to the application as well, PlayStation App users will find that they can purchase games and other downloadable content through the app from anywhere. Purchases made through the PlayStation App automatically download on the PS4. This way, users can begin a game download when they are at work or out shopping, then have the game ready to play by the time they get home. That’s important since digital games are expected to require downloads measured in gigabytes. Of course, users can buy physical games too.</div>

The PlayStation App should also help extend user’s gaming experience at home too. Developers can include PlayStation App functionality in their games. This allows user’s smartphone to act as a sort of in-game tool or prop.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>The Division</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>The Crew</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>will include PlayStation App functionality at launch.</div>

BlackBerry has updated their BBM for iOS and Android with new versions as we expected today. This new version adds new features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements along with iPod and iPad support. Best of all is that they added social functions to help find your friends who have BBM on other social networks you use. This is the kind of viral use case that BlackBerry needs to get more users on BBM. They are even promoting that you share your BBM barcode on your social networks though I am not sure how popular that will be. Still I have been seeing quite a few barcodes on Facebook and Instagram…</div>

Nova Launcher, one of the most popular third-party launchers for Android, has a new beta release out today, which includes a number of new features and tweaks for Android 4.4 KitKat. In addition to transparent status and navigations bars, the update adds KitKat’s new home screen page indicators and app drawer icon, its folders, its font, and lots more.<span id="more-44785"></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The update is only compatible with devices that already support transparent bars, unfortunately, so it won’t add one to your device if you don’t have one already. Here’s a list of handsets it is compatible with:</div>

To kick things off this week, we have a very simple note taking application. Note List – Notepad is an elegant note manager for all Android-powered mobile devices, which enables its users to easily create notes, lists and much, much more.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
This application helps the user to manage their notes with ease, it makes independent judgements. Like, for example, automatically storing and organizing a users note list depending on the date it was created, the title and its priority as well as sorting notes and archiving folders.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
In addition, users will also have the option of saving a Note List widget on their home screen, which gives them the means to quickly create new notes, share notes with friends and search through their stored notes.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<b></b>Google Maps Engine is an extremely useful GPS app for any Android-powered smartphone or tablet. The application connects to MapsEngine.Google. and allows its users to create custom maps anywhere, anytime.</div>

Once the maps have been created, you will be able to view them directly in the official Maps application, and fully utilize Google’s extremely accurate 3D turn-by-turn GPS navigation.</div>

Next up we have a gorgeous live wallpaper. Galaxy S4 Nature Live Wallpaper is simple, smooth, and very similar to all of Samsung’s other themed backgrounds. Once installed on a user’s device, the wallpaper will change to a truly breathtaking countryside image, and if the screen is tapped on leaves will fly in from all directions.</div>

Unfortunately, much like all of Wasabi’s other masterpieces, there are adverts included, but thankfully they are only housed in the wallpaper’s settings.</div>

Finally we have the Days Left Widget. Days Left allows its users to create a unique daily countdown widget to display on their home screen, so they will never miss an important date ever again. In addition to setting their own countdown date, users also have the ability to customize the colors and overlays of the widget.</div>

Developer Mark Katakowski has created an app that facilitates a social network without an Internet connection or cell service, according to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/tin-can-mark-katakowski-hubski/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Daily Dot</a>. The app, called<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hubski.com.kvh.tincan" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Tin Can</a>, allows phones to relay messages between one another when in close proximity, without having to use data or SMS. Most importantly, Tin Can allows phones with the app to act as relay points for a message, even if those phones are not the intended destination.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Tin Can works by connecting phones via their Wi-Fi radios, but it doesn’t require reception from any network. Messages can be sent by this connection, and they can be sent to more than one phone.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The range is only about 100 feet, depending on the phone, according to the app’s Google Play page. But because of the relay capability, one message could potentially spread to many phones over a large area using other relay points.</div>

Customizing it is actually incredibly simple. DashClock allows customizing through a vast set of extensions. It gives you apps built specifically for DashClock which are distinguishable from those which weren’t built for the app as those don’t have icons. They are simply plug-ins. Other apps provide DashClock plug-ins which can be added by you as per your needs.<img alt="dashclock 1" class="alignright wp-image-9687" height="400" src="http://www.oneclickroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dashclock-1.jpg" style="border: 0px none; outline: 0px none;" width="265" /></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Are you an app junkie who can’t help himself whenever you see a good app trending on Google Play. Unfortunately, the cold hard truth is that you might not always need it or use it and end up dumping it from your app collection in favor of another novelty app that catches your fancy in the future. Some of you just like knowing it’s silently lingering around in your phone just in case you need to use it in the future. This nonchalant download spree can make your screen cluttered with a million apps and sometimes, you forget where the app is and miss important notifications. Let’s face it, with every new app, there’s a swarm of unnecessary notifications that clutter your notification center and make navigation impossible.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<img alt="notif 1" class="alignleft wp-image-9688" height="400" src="http://www.oneclickroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/notif-1.jpg" style="border: 0px none; outline: 0px none;" width="225" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
There’s times when you’ve missed an important reminder, or a meeting or a deadline, or even a really important message from a friend through Viber, or Whatsapp because you didn’t finish scrolling through your notifications. If this is a somewhat accurate representation of your smartphone usage, then here’s one last app you need to get to resolve this issue once and for all.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Notif is an Android app that basically stands for Notification History. It can easily track which of your apps is pushing unwanted messages that are cluttering up your notification centre. Once the problem is detected, half the battle is already one. But that’s not all, the app does much more.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The tracking of unwanted push messages help to figure out which app is sending you annoying advertisements that appear on the status bar and then if the advertisements really annoy you can choose to uninstall it.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Notif also allows you to do other things like collect together messages sent by apps and read them later and backup and share notifications.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
But streamlining your notifications, you now know which part of the notification dropdown to look to find the messages you truly are interested in reading. It groups notifications by apps, so social media messages will all appear together making communication so much simpler.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Games and their strange updates with cling together, which makes them so much easier to deal with.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The Notif app has a number of other great features like it allows you to save notifications, clear notifications, uninstall apps. The list doesn’t end there. It has my favorite feature which allows you to ignore notifications from specific apps.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Moving on, let’s see how the app actually works. It’s really quite simple. One just has to go to system Settings and select Accessibility after installing the app. Then it entails, enabling accessibility and Notification History services. The app does it all from that point on.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The similar way one can disable the Notif app and then the notification centre reverts back to its old disorganised self.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
To ignore notifications from a particularly annoying app on your dashboard, simply long click on the app icon and choose the Ignore option on the pop-out menu that appears in the Notif app.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<img alt="notif 2" class="aligncenter wp-image-9689" height="400" src="http://www.oneclickroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/notif-2.jpg" style="border: 0px none; outline: 0px none;" width="225" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The home screen of the black background Notification History found in the Notif app has a listing of all your apps according to the time at which the last notification was received. Each app title allows you to click on it to see a drop down with all the notifications received from that app arranged by the time stamp.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
If you ever feel the need to re-trigger the logging mechanism so that it is refreshed, Notif provides you with a clear button at the bottom of the app to reset the entire notification centre provided by it. This helps make life a lot simpler and a slight glitch can be resolved without any drawback to your productivity.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The Notif app does have one tiny issue. It uses internet access to show plenty of banner ads within it whenever you open it up on your smartphone. However, an update to the PRO version will make it truly live up to its name and clear all the clutter from its interface by removing the advertisements completely.</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 1.143em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Screen clock widgets seem to be gaining popularity. Here’s another one for your consideration. It’s called DashClock and is a replacement for the one that’s inbuilt in Android. The app provides you with a clock widget for the lock screen.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
To add the widget that is DashClock, one simply needs to swipe to the left-most lock screen page on an Android device and click the add button which appears as a plus sign. It then gives you a dropdown to select DashClock once the app has been installed. On selecting it, the primary lock screen widget is replaced by DashClock.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
One of the remarkable services offered by the DashClock app is that it allows you to do what most clock apps don’t give you the chance to do by letting you write additional status items called as Extensions in the app and manage them via your smartphone locked screen.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The most necessary details that a clock widget should provide is given by the app. DashClock gives you the ability to add your local weather and even displays your missed calls and text messages which are yet to be read. The Dial extension allows you to dial your missed calls from the locked screen itself instead of unlocking your screen. This saves navigational time.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
One feature found particularly useful that was present in DashClock was the next calendar appointment. For those of you who like to keep a busy calendar, it improves your visibility of the calendar by placing it in the clock screen saving you the effort of having to navigate till the calendar to recheck. This way the calendar can be viewed instantaneously in passing.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
It doesn’t just pick up text and messaging information but also provides you the ability to add inbox mail which is unread and even those you mark as priority regardless of their status.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
As DashClock, a clock widget it does its primary function by adding and displaying your next scheduled alarm so the clock is not merely showy but also useful.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The battery of your phone, especially a smartphone is so important. It is so useful to track battery in locked screen that its default in most phones. DashClock widget also gives you the option of adding battery details. The widget has an in-built plug-in that allows a simple battery bar. But for those who want something more customised, an app known as Battery Widget Reborn offers an additional plug-in that can be used easily.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Through app support, you can also get your RSS feed in your lock screen if you are the type of person who enjoys keeping up with that.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The widget interface is simple and clean. The app looks great and makes your locked screen look great. Readability of the information presented on the widget is great and even a cursory glance suffices. Download DashClock on your Android device and put the “dashing” in your smartphone dashboard.</div>

I know that many folks scoff at the idea of using a voice recorder because it seems about as sexy as a pocket protector — and our dwindling camp of personal recording fans aren’t helped any by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEFmNncyHxM" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Louis Litt’s shenanigans</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>on TV’s<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i><a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/suits" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Suits</a></i>.

Easy Voice Recorder Pro lets users capture and play audio recordings on their Android device, and unlike many other similar apps, can record in high-quality PCM format and output WAV files with clear sound. It’s available in both free and paid flavors, and allows for quick recording without launching the app, making it perfect for taking notes wherever you are.</div>

What Can I Record?</h2>

As a tech journalist, I constantly have to conceptualize stories, list questions for interviews, make notes while reviewing apps and hardware, and often have ideas while on the move or when I don’t really have enough time to jot down my thoughts on paper or type them all out. Rather than lose these ideas to the wind, I decided to simply record them as voice notes for future reference. Many users may also find loud thinking beneficial to their thought process: I, for one, like to let out my thoughts like a sieve and organize them later.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Spoken notes are a lot quicker to record than handwritten or typed ones, so if you need to make short to-do or grocery lists, a voice note can save you a second trip back to the store. Plus, you can record meetings, interviews, lectures to listen to and transcribe later. Musicians and songwriters can also benefit from using a recorder — great ideas can strike at any time, and with this, you’ll never again have to worry about forgetting a riff or melody by the time you get home to your instrument to try it.</div>

If you’re ready to take the plunge and get started with voice recording, Easy Voice Recorder is a great choice to go with. The two-pane interface lets you begin capturing and playing back recordings in a flash, and allows for renaming files and moving them to folders. The free version packs in enough functionality for most folks, but if you want more control over audio quality, you can check out the paid version that enables recording in stereo, Bluetooth mic support, mic gain boost and more.</div>

If you’re wondering why I’ve been harping on about EVR’s ability to record high-quality audio, it’s because I never got much mileage out of fuzzy, low-volume recordings captured using other apps. With 16-bit PCM recording, I can rest assured that my interviews won’t sound choppy and incoherent when I’m transcribing them.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://soundcloud.com/abe/easy-voice-recorder-pro-amr-vs/s-TuDkL" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Here’s an audio sample</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>featuring 10-second voice clips, recorded first in low-quality AMR format and then in high-fidelity PCM format. The difference in file size is definitely huge, but certainly worth it in my opinion.</div>

EVR is a very stable app that can not only work in the background, but also handle interruptions in audio (such as device sounds and incoming calls) without kicking up a fuss. It’s also easy to begin recording in a variety of ways, without having to launch the app.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
For your home screen, there are two widgets to choose from and a shortcut to toggle recording on/off that you can activate using an icon or gesture. Pro users get notification bar controls so you can swipe down and start recording from within any app.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_37616" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; width: 630px; word-spacing: 0px;">

I prefer keeping my home screen clutter-free, so I use the latter options. If you’re using a launcher that supports gestures such as<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Nova Launcher Prime</a>, you can quickly head into the settings and configure any gesture on your home screen to toggle recording — simply select the EVR Toggle Record/Stop shortcut and you’re done! If you’re using the free version and want to toggle recording from your notification bar, add a button for this shortcut using<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Power Toggles</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and you’ll have quick access to discreet recording in no time.</div>

While recordings are a great way to quickly save ideas, it’s also important to manage them so that they’re actually useful, and to prevent them from becoming a burden to deal with on your device. Here are some tips on how you can keep your recordings in check:</div>

<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0.2em 0.5em 0px 0px;"><b>Always take the time to name your recordings.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>EVR automatically names your files with the date and time of recording or with a file number, but adding meaningful names to your files will make them much easier to sift through when you need to access a specific recording.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0.2em 0.5em 0px 0px;"><b>Clean out and/or backup your recordings regularly.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Recordings can quickly eat up storage space on your device (particularly if you go down the PCM route) and become a hassle to organize as their numbers grow, so be sure to transcribe and then delete your recordings often. If you want to backup your files, you can try<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dropsync" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">DropSync</a>, which allows you to easily sync your recordings folder from your device to Dropbox for free, with multiple upload modes (so you can choose to maintain both copies of files, or delete them off your device after uploading). Alternatively, you can offload your files to your desktop using your device’s sync app or even something simpler like<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://android.appstorm.net/reviews/utilities/manage-your-phone-wirelessly-with-airdroid/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">AirDroid</a>.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0.2em 0.5em 0px 0px;"><b>Transcribe your files at your desktop.</b> <a href="https://transcribe.wreally.com/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Transcribe Pro</a>, <a href="http://web.appstorm.net/reviews/office/type-out-your-audio-notes-easily-with-transcribe-pro/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">One of my favorite web apps</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>allows you to hear audio and type in the same browser window, while controlling audio playback using your keyboard — making transcription a snap.</li>

Is EVR the Best Option?</h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
While there are tons of recording apps out there, none of the current crop are really as polished or flexible as EVR. I’d still love to see the app gain a few more features, such as automatic WAV to MP3 output, annotations and notes for recordings, file splitting and trimming options, hardware button playback/recording control, cloud syncing and easier sharing. Hopefully, those are on Digipom’s blueprints for upcoming iterations of the app.</div>

Conclusion</h2>

Voice notes have helped me become a lot more productive over the past couple of years — I’ve been able to use my time away from my desk to efficiently gather my thoughts for articles and projects, and that’s often half the battle. And with<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digipom.easyvoicerecorder.pro" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Easy Voice Recorder</a>, recording at a moment’s notice is a breeze. I’d certainly recommend this habit and this app to anyone who’s serious about writing or working with new ideas on a regular basis.</div>

As promised, the wacky, if not slightly insane, protagonist is back on Android for more endless running fun. Ubisoft’s Rayman Fiesta Run will have you speeding through a variety of wildly colorful maps, jumping on giant limes, and punching the heck out of piñatas.</div>

Like its predecessor, Rayman Jungle Run, Fiesta Run is a side-scrolling 2D running game that puts the iconic Rayman, whose head, hands and feet are inexplicably kept linked to his body despite the absence of limbs, in a festive world full of giant-sized food and, of course, monsters. Players get to guide Rayman through more than 75 levels and past 3 new epic bosses to reach the Island of the Livid Dead. The game features a certain amount of social networking similar to those found in the popular Candy Crush Saga game, where players can keep track of their friends on the world map and boast of their achievements on Facebook.</div>

Rayman Fiesta Run can be yours on Google Play Store for $2.99 and is available in a variety of languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and more.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3 back in September. Ever since the device hit the market, it has performed quite well. The company has<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/10/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sells-5-million-units-in-a-month/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sells 5 Million Units In A Month">already sold millions of units</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>around the world, and the streak is expected to continue over the holiday season. If you’ve been wondering whether or not the Galaxy Note 3 is the phablet for you, Samsung has launched a new app which tries to make the decision easier. The Galaxy Note 3 Experience app lets you try out various Note 3 features on any Android device running version 4.1 or higher.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Users can experience features such as Action Memo, Multi Window, S Finder, Air Command and Pen Window. The app also explains various Galaxy Gear features as well, such as being able to pick up calls from the smartwatch and Glance Notifications. Samsung is offering a one-stop solution for prospective Galaxy Note 3 customers, as the app also lists details about the phablet’s accessories such as the S View Cover, S Charger Kit, Flip Wallet and more. Furthermore, the app also includes hands-on videos which explain the Note 3′s features in even more detail.

There is no information on pricing and availability of these accessories just yet but we don’t expect it to cost any cheaper than the existing bunch of accessories that Samsung offers. And as this is the Galaxy Note 3, it’s almost obvious that Samsung will want the accessories to be unique and premium.</div>

Other accessories include the S-Charger cover, S-View cover(wireless), Desktop dock, S-Charger kit and an extra battery kit. Pricing will be crucial of course, and we’ll await for more information on that as the smartphone launches in global markets. With these prices expected to touch great heights, it might not be a bad idea to start looking for a third party case or cover for your Galaxy Note 3.</div>

In 2012, Samsung dominated the smartphone market with an assortment of Galaxy branded smartphones. However, its two biggest releases were the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The devices propelled the company to new heights and put it on the same pedestal as Apple, the company behind the iconic iPhone. The success of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 put tremendous amount of pressure on the company to deliver fantastic devices in 2013.</div>

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will battle the likes of the Galaxy S4 later this year.</div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was once the most heavily rumored device of 2013. Those rumors soon turned to reality when in March, Samsung took the stage in New York and debuted the Galaxy S4 on stage. The device became a solid successor to the Galaxy S3 and has kept Samsung on the map in terms of smartphone sales and visibility.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Samsung isn’t done though.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Just like the one-two punch that was the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2, Samsung is looking to build another in 2013. Episode 1 of its Unpacked series signaled the arrival of the Galaxy S4 and from the looks of things, Episode 2 will likely signal the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, a device that it hopes will deliver the same kind of impact as the Galaxy Note 2.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
2013 is a new year though and the competition figures to be extremely stiff. HTC is rumored to be coming out with a larger version of its HTC One called the HTC One Max, Sony recently announced the Xperia Z Ultra, a massive device that has a display over 6-inches. However, the Galaxy Note 3 will have an internal struggle as well, a struggle with the Galaxy S4.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Much like they did with the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, shoppers will be looking at buying either the Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 3 when it arrives later this year.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Here, we take a look at the five most important things to know, now, about the upcoming battle between Samsung’s two 2013 flagship smartphones.</div>

Carriers</h2>

<div class="wp-caption-text" style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
The Galaxy Note 3 should hit a host of American carriers, just like the Galaxy S4 did.</div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
In the past, the smartphone world has been littered with exclusives, meaning, devices that were only available on certain carriers. We saw it with the iPhone. We also saw it with the Droid series of devices on Verizon and the EVO series on Sprint. As time passed, manufacturers have begun to shift away from this mold, offering users tons of choice.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Samsung is and was one of the companies that has ushered in this new era. The Galaxy S series has been available on a several carriers for a number of years including the Galaxy S4, a device that arrived on a number of service providers here in the United States.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
While the Galaxy Note series wasn’t always widely available, last year’s Galaxy Note 2 was, launching on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon Wireless. That launch gave consumers a great deal of choice as to where to take their money. Prospective smartphone shoppers should expect the same from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
In fact, buyers should expect the Galaxy Note 3 to arrive on the same carriers as the Galaxy S4. Rumors peg the Galaxy Note 3 for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon though we imagine that the device will be coming to U.S. Cellular as well. It’s unclear if the device will land on smaller carriers but at the very least, expect the big five.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
This is important because it means that in just a few months, those trying to decide between the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 will ultimately be able to bring the device of their choosing to a carrier of their choosing.</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 1.143em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Similar But Different Displays</h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
When the Samsung Galaxy S2 arrived back in 2011, it boasted a 4.3-inch display. A year later, the Samsung Galaxy S3 saw a bump up to 4.8-inches and now, with the Galaxy S4, we’ve seen Samsung bump the screen size of the Galaxy S series up to 5-inches.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The original Samsung Galaxy Note arrived with a 5.3-inch display. A year later, Samsung increased the size of the display .2-inches with the Galaxy Note 2′s 5.5-inch display. There is a trend here. Samsung has been making its displays larger year-over-year and there is no sign of slowing down.</div>

Rumors suggest that the Galaxy Note 3 will come with a 5.7-inch display which is similar to the .2-inch increase from the Galaxy S3 to Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note to Galaxy Note 3. While this remains uncertain, one thing that consumers should know is that the Galaxy Note 3 display, no matter the size, will be larger than the Galaxy S4′s display. It needs to be. The Galaxy Note 3 comes bundled with an S Pen stylus that benefits from a massive display.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
That doesn’t mean that they won’t have some things in common though. The Galaxy S4 ushered in Samsung’s era of 1080p displays and high pixel-per-inch counts and the Galaxy Note 3 should be a beneficiary as well. Rumors peg the device as having a 1080p display. What this means is that content should look good on both the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy S4. Expect a size difference but no real big difference in quality.</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 1.143em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Massive Price Gap</h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Those that are looking to spend as little money as possible should know that the price difference between these two devices is likely going to be steep once the Galaxy Note 3 rolls out, a roll out that is expected sometime in September.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
In the past, the Galaxy Note series has checked in with a price tag of $299.99 on-contract. That’s $100 more than the starting price of the Galaxy S4. And while the Galaxy Note 3 will likely see deals arrive almost immediately, those deals will probably be in the range of $200-$250 which still makes the device an expensive purchase.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S4′s price will continue to deteriorate. By September, we should see record pricing with retailers like Amazon offering it for dirt cheap.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Already, we’ve seen the price stabilize at $140 and in a few months we should see it dip below $100. Something to keep in mind for those that aren’t keen on breaking the bank with their next device.</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 1.143em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Storage Options</h2>

<div class="wp-caption-text" style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
Storage differences come into play.</div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
When the Samsung Galaxy S4 first arrived, Samsung announced that it would be offering it in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants to go along with the microSD card slot that can accept up to 64GB cards. This was an exciting prospect for those in the U.S. who either owned a 32GB in the past or were simply hoping to get the extra space.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
To date, only AT&T and Verizon have unleashed 32GB Galaxy S4 models with T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular failing to announce anything bigger than 16GB. So those that need the extra space, at the moment, can only find it through the nation’s two largest carriers. A 64GB model has never made it to the shores of the U.S.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Those looking into the Galaxy Note 3 will likely never see a 32GB model. In the past the Galaxy Note series has only come in 16GB format in the United States, despite the existence models with larger storage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
And unfortunately, the Galaxy S4 launch is a sign that this trend will more than likely extend to the Galaxy Note 3 launch as carriers don’t see the necessity of delivering 32GB or 64GB models when the device possess a microSD card.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
This is not set in stone by any means but given the history, it’s hard to expect anything but a 16GB Galaxy Note 3 to hit the United States. If true, it will mean that those that need 32GB of internal storage, to go along with the microSD card, will simply need to opt for the Galaxy S4 or look for something else.</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 1.143em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Longevity</h2>

Those who buy into either of these phones will be buying a device that will likely be supported through the duration of a contract. Samsung, unlike some Android manufacturers, does a great job of keeping its devices up-to-date with the latest software.</div>

<div class="wp-caption-text" style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
Both the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 will be supported for years to come.</div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
What this means is that those who buy the Samsung Galaxy S4 now, or around the time the Galaxy Note 3 emerges, will be getting a device that will last and not flame out when it comes to support. Same goes for the Galaxy Note 3. Samsung will continue to update it for years to come.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
So while Android manufacturers often catch a bad rap for not keeping promises or failing to update devices, consumers won’t find that here with the Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 3. These are devices that are built to last.</div>

Radio and podcast streaming service Mixcloud has rebuilt and re-released<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixcloud.player&hl=en_GB" style="color: #fb4834; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">its Android app</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>with a new user interface that focuses on providing tailored radio recommendations. Its updated user interface leads to a personalized feed that lets listeners build a radio station out of their favorite shows and DJ sets, and a "Discover" tab that Mixcloud describes as a "Netflix-like" page that points out radio shows users are likely to enjoy.</div>
<div class="pgh-paragraph" id="paragraph1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

Mixcloud's major competitor in the music upload market is SoundCloud, but unlike that service, Mixcloud's users aren't allowed to upload individual songs to the service. Users instead create "shows" from eight or more tracks, and upload them with a supplied tracklist to ensure the creators of copyrighted songs receive royalties. Mixcloud has also attempted to differentiate itself from SoundCloud by appealing specifically to<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/28/4371258/djs-in-the-mix-with-new-iphone-app-can-mixcloud-do-what-soundcloud-doesnt" style="color: #fb4834; text-decoration: none;">producers and consumers of electronic music</a>. Its playlists are stocked with cuts from 500,000 "partners" that include top-line electronic artists, taste-making blogs, and aspiring bedroom DJs.</div>
<div class="pgh-paragraph" id="paragraph3" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Anyone can upload shows to the service. They are then sorted democratically: shows and sets that get played the most get foremost placement on popularity charts, regardless of their creator. The result feels both chaotic — it's hard to tell the quality of a show or set from its dense title — and vibrant, as established live acts release whole sets alongside promising young newbies. The recommendation system is solid, too, offering granular categories particularly suited to dance music. Connoisseurs of dubstep, deep house, and EDM will find themselves well served by easy-to-create feeds that use a tag system to inform of new shows relevant to their interests.</div>
<div class="pgh-paragraph" id="paragraph4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Along with the all-new Android app comes an update to Mixcloud's<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mixcloud/id401206431" style="color: #fb4834; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">iOS version</a>. Both updates are available now on the Google Play store and Apple's App Store. Mixcloud offers unlimited storage for free, so budding radio stars won't need to worry about paying up for a subscription plan.</div>

60 percent of Android smartphones returned to the store aren’t actually broken. And if InnoPath’s new<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innopath.mobilemd" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mobie app</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>gets widespread adoption, they may not actually get returned in the first place.</div>

“Android provides more than iPhone, if you know how to use it,” John Fazio, CEO of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.innopath.com/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">InnoPath</a>, told me last week. “But the device has overrun the capability of the consumer.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Mobie is an app that sits in the background, watching what’s happening on your phone. If it detects malware —<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/06/26/254158-android-apps-are-malicious-as-mobile-malware-skyrockets-614/" style="color: #0972b4; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">which can be prevalent on Android</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>— it acts to alert you and remove the threat. If it sees one particular app is constantly downloading data in the background, it tells you so you can stop it, and save money on your phone bill. Mobie also makes your device use its battery more efficiently, will allow you to trace your phone if it’s been lost, can lock it if it’s been stolen, and tell you what apps you might want to download.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
That’s not just because of what Mobie sees on your phone, but also what it’s learning from thousands of others.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
“We protect the device, and we help people diagnose their hardware or software issues,” Fazio says.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Many times, the problems that consumers spend hours on the phone with carrier support about are not even real problems. For example, a common problem that InnoPath found in early testing was lack of charging. Because Mobie is watching, however, the company could tell that instead of being charged a couple of times a day, the device thought it was getting between 2,000 and 3,000 micro-charges each day.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Clearly, the “battery problem” was a charger problem.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
“There’s the costs of returned devices for care centers,” Fazio says. “But also time for consumers who spend 90 minutes on the phone with the carrier.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
While the company’s product seems to offer big benefits for companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, the first focus is consumers. If InnoPath can get Mobie on enough phones, the app becomes a platform upon which the company can build monetization opportunities — such as app recommendations.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Parent company Innopath has been in existence for 13 years, building “hard-core technology for device manufacturers” such as Fugitsu and Qualcomm, as well as carriers like Verizon. Doing so, they’ve build cloud capabilities for device software updates that have handled hundreds of millions of transactions. Those transactions, in part, have illuminated the problems that Mobie is now trying to fix.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
“Our goal is to show you apps on your device that are poor citizens,” Fazio says. “Then we give you a comparison with other devices in the ecosystem so you can compare, get additional information on which apps are being used, and which are problematic.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

If you’ve used Vine or Instagram videos before, you’ll know exactly what to expect. Just tap and hold the camcorder icon begin a new shot, releasing your finger only when you want to cut to a different angle. KakaoStory will happily suspend your video inbetween shots, which means that you can spend as much time as you want setting up for a new angle provided you keep the app open.</div>

Videos are shot in a square-crop format, and you can alternate between the front and rear-facing cameras using the icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You can also tap to focus and toggle the flash on or off at any time. When you’re done, just hit Next, followed by Write. You can then add a caption, set the privacy options and upload it to your profile.</div>

At the moment, KakaoStory is missing many of the advanced editing features found in Vine and Instagram, such as the ability to delete or rearrange recent shots. There’s no reason why Kakao couldn’t patch that in with a future update though.</div>
