Should you Buy the Note 2 or the S4?
So, you’ve decided to sell your Note 2 and get the S4 or can’t decide between the two?
Here’s some insights onto why I still use my Note 2 over the S4 and some tips when trying to decide between the two Samsung flagship phones.
Typing on the Galaxy Note 2 is just way easier and probably cause less arthritis for those of you getting older like myself. It’s like a difference between sitting on a bar chair or lounge chair all day long. When I type on my Galaxy Note 2 for hours, my hands don’t get ti
Finally, I got hands on my new Samsung Galaxy S4 Android smartphone and here’s Galaxy S4 unboxing video!
The Galaxy S4 ships with either Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 1.9Ghz or Samsung Exynos Octa-core 1.6Ghz processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory, 5-inch full 1080P HD 1920×1080 screen with Gorilla Glass 3, 16/32/64GB internal storage, external microSD slot, removable battery, 13.2 megapixel back camera, 2.1 megapixel front camera, 2600mAh battery, Android 4.2.2, and sized at 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm, and weight 130 grams.
As far as CPU and memory goes, Galaxy S4 probably has the best
Most U.S. carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon, will charge you an extra “tethering monthly fee” (around $20-30) if you want wifi tethering enabled on your phone so you can share your phone’s internet with other wifi devices you own such as Android tablets, desktop computer, etc…etc…
Now, U.S. is the ONLY country in the world where carriers charge you twice for the same internet you already paid for. In countries like South Korea, Thailand, and the rest of the world, there’s no extra tethering monthly charges to use the wifi
For those of you with one of the latest Android smartphones/tablets that have NFC but cannot use Google Wallet (such as any AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon phones), here’s how to install Google Wallet.
Why do you need Google Wallet?
Google Wallet is an NFC-enabled credit card payment system for those of you who don’t know. Many credit card systems around the world now support NFC-enabled credit cards and Google Wallet, meaning you don’t have to carry your credit cards anymore, just your smartphone. It’s a great way to pay for things, and much
What’s hot around town right now? Of course, it’s the PIE Control!
If you are running the latest ParanoidAndroid ROM, you can get PIE Control, a new way of accessing your home buttons.
Now, the good news is that you don’t need to install ParanoidAndroid ROM to get this feature. You can install LMT launcher app on “any” Android smartphone/tablet device and also even customize the buttons (up to 10 buttons + another 10 for long-press on the buttons).
Step 1. So, let’s get to it. First, you will need a rooted Android smartp
For those of you wondering what is the best smartphone of the year 2012, it’s without a doubt the Galaxy Note 2.
Nevermind all the cool things you can do with the S-Pen or the large 5.5-inch screen that allows you to use it as a tablet device too, the multi-view, true multi-tasking feature on the Note 2 is just mind-blowing and beats everything else on the market!
Here’s how to install Flash Player on “any” Android smartphone or tablet device running ICS or Jelly Bean.
Download and install this: Download FlashPlayer.apk

Want the coolest notification feature for your Android smartphone or tablet?
Well, there’s these things called “floating” notifications app, which have been floating around lately.
Of course, before we get into this app, let’s give full credit to the ParanoidAndroid ROM Team, who invented the floating notifications with its HALO feature. *Applause*
Now, with this floating notification app, you don’t need a rooted Android device nor install ParanoidAndroid ROM. This isn’t exactly identical to ParanoidAndroid ROM’s HALO featu
After having the Galaxy S4 for over a week now and HTC One for just over a day, I do have to admit the HTC One has a “premium” build, specifically a uni-body aluminum casing that does give it more weight and solidarity.
However, I do think “feel” is completely different from “build”, and to me personally, I think the Galaxy S4 “feels” more comfortable to hold than the HTC One due to its smooth edges. In general, I do believe phones with rounded edges are more comfortable to hold than with sharp edges.
That’s how &
Well, my HTC One finally arrived yesterday after an agonizing 2 week wait. But in the end, it was well worth the wait because I only paid $574 for an unlocked version directly from HTC.com. Of course, unlocked here means that the phone is “SIM” unlocked for using with any GSM network, the bootloader is still locked (but you can use HTCDev.com to unlock that).
The unlocked HTC One is probably the “best deal” in town right now at just $574 with LTE support and latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. You will have to cough up at least $100-200 mor
For those of you wondering what’s changed from last year’s Galaxy S3, here’s a quick wrap-up of comparison between the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3.
There has been some big hardware/software improvements over the last year with the latest Galaxy S4 over the S3, let’s go take a look at some of it.
The biggest difference to your naked eye between the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S3 is that you will notice a more rectangular shape on the S4 over the last year’s curvier S3.
And also the screen on the Galax S4 is much more clearer and crisp wit
Probably the coolest software feature on the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the Group Play app that allows you to turn multiple Galaxy S4 smartphones into instant stereo, surround-sound speakers and play multi-player games.
This uses Wifi Direct technology to connect multiple Galaxy S4s to share photos, music, and play multi-player games.
Very easy to setup (just setup a password, that’s it), Group Play is the most overlooked software feature and also the most obvious feature that no other smartphone manufacturer has thought of adding before Samsung did it. (And we hope Apple doe
Today we will be talking about the differences between Exynos Octacore and the Qualcomm Quadcore processors used on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Many U.S., Canadian, and European countries with 4G LTE ships with the Qualcomm processor while countries with no 4G LTE ships with the GT-i9500 Octa-core Exynos.
Of course, the Koreans get the best with both Octacore and 4G LTE. I believe this is due to the fact that 4G LTE frequencies used in Korea are easy to develop therefore used with Octacore. And also, there may be production issues with the newer Exynos processors.
Another feature on the Galaxy S4 I found very useful is the Remote Viewfinder feature.
This feature allows you to use another Galaxy S4 as a “wireless” remote viewfinder for your Galaxy S4 or vice versa. Also you can use this feature with compatible Samsung products like Galaxy Camera. And I am sure this feature will be added to Galaxy S3 and Note 2 on the next software update.
Basically, you can create a “Wifi Direct” connection between two Galaxy S4s and use one of them as remote viewfinder. Currently, I am using my
