Notification Toggle shows you a notification in the pull down bar, with the toggles you've selected when you run the app. You can see the status of your Wifi, Bluetooth,

The last week we've all seen the havoc wreaked by the guys that uncovered how Apple tracks your location data. The funny thing is that Apple records the cell tower and WiFi data even if you turn off location services. Another "bug" in Apple's iOS is that it never stops recording the data. Now whenever something like this happens to Apple, it is their established policy to steer focus away

Well, if you're tired of the dull default Android home screen, you have a wide choice of replacement launchers on Android Market. Zeam, by Michael Bentz, is one of them. What makes Zeam special? Well, it's speed and low memory footprint. The speed of this thing is incredible, and after all launchers I have tried, this one managed to keep 5 homescreens filled with widgets

Well, many of you may be sick and tired of the standard Gallery application. It's slow, it's unintuitive and the bling Google added in Froyo was at the expense of performance. Most manufacturers include their own media gallery applications. For those of you who have to use the standard Gallery app(and I mean most people who use custom ROMs), here is some good news. There

Well, a few days ago I wrote a post about what I was using as a homescreen replacement, namely Zeam. The Motorola Milestone I am currently using has only 256MB of RAM, so you can imagine I am a little restrained when it comes to resident apps. I noticed a tweet today about beta testing myHome launcher and decided to give it a go. To my surprise I found myself staring at

Many of you may ask yourselves how many memory do I have free on my phone? Or how many applications are running? How can I stop an application, it doesn't have a Quit or Exit option? Well most of the times, the Android OS takes care of the RAM management and closing applications. But every now and then, it's good to know if some application that I rarely use, is always running. Some

Well, in the 1st and 2nd parts of this Milestone experiment, I've shown you how to improve your phone's responsiveness and overall speed, while still running a stock Froyo. In this post I will show you how to fine tune the performance of your system so that it will improve your user experience, and provide more battery life.

Taking notes is a very used feature on any phone, not just smartphones. People write down anything they need to remember into phone memos, on paper even on the palm of their hands :) Evernote comes in handy by organizing the note taking part on your Android smartphone. First you need to create an Evernote account. They also have a paid Premium service which allows you

Are bugged by how slow your Android phone opens up the Gallery? Does it take forever to see your picture's thumbnails? Well, XDA developers member Akusari just released version 1.0.2 of his SD-Booster application. This app allows you to change the read ahead speed of your SD card. By default that speed is set at 128KB, so if you have large files on your SD card, they will be read

I used to be a faithful user of Astro File Manager and ES File Explorer to do my daily file managing stuff. Now, each one of the aforementioned had it's pros and cons and I would have so much liked to frankenstein both of them into a single app. No I no longer need to use both of them, as there is an app in the market that does what I need and more.

Today we review the seasoned eBuddy messenger solution for Android. If you're tired of using Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger and Facebook and AIM(and so on) dedicated clients separately on your Android device, eBuddy brings them all into one convenient place. One login, all accounts available. Why an all in one messenger? Well, first of all, RAM consumption. Having 3 or 4

Well, June 21st is coming up next week, and everybody is eagerly waiting for Nokia to announce the N9/N950. The phone is supposed to run MeeGo and have a 12MP camera just like the N8. The slider keyboard is for those heavy messaging people and the 4 inch screen, expected to be ClearBlack, should be more than enough for anyone. I think this is a great move by Nokia

  Well, in my previous post I said that Nokia made a smart move with the N9, and that it will open up some new opportunities for Nokia phones. I take that back. The N9 doesn't need a ported OS. MeeGo is beautiful. When I saw MeeGo getting demoed I could not believe it! It is what I've been looking for in a smartphone. Everything is well organized starting with all notifications in one

When I first heard from Paul at WOMWorldNokia about sending me a Nokia N8, I frankly didn't know what to expect. It was the phone that started all the Symbian 3 hype, but I already tested and reviewed the bigger and meaner E7 and the cheaper C7(Without the 12MP though), so I said to myself, How can the N8 surprise me? And boy, was I in for an answer! You can look at the N8

So, I finally finished the E5 review, E5 which I got courtesy of WOMWorld (thank you guys), and here it goes. As you may have seen in my previous reviews, I like to split the review into categories, and same goes with the E5's. But first, I'll let you know the general impressions the E5 left me. QWERTY keyboard is very nice to feel and works hassle free. I like the fact that the phone

Well, I've been away on vacation for the last two weeks and of course, I had to stay in touch with the world. So my only weapon of mass messaging was the Motorola Milestone. Normally the Milestone does the job pretty well, even if it's keyboard is below average. But when the Milestone meets the sand of the Black Sea beaches, that's when the trouble starts. It got sand everywhere.

Well, I thought I'd make use of the Nokia Maps 3D once again, because I really enjoyed it the first time around back when it was branded Ovi Maps. This time I thought I'd share a little Nokia history, seen trough the Nokia Maps 3D. In 1865 a mining engineer called Fredrik Idestam established groundwood pulp mill in the town of Tampere, Finland, and started manufacturing paper.

Well, the Nokia X7 arrived yesterday, courtesy of WOMWorld/Nokia. My wife received the package, since I was at work, and I asked her to charge the phone. So she opened up the box and when she saw the phone, one thing came to her mind, and I'm quoting her on this one: "This is the only touchscreen phone I would like to own". My wife deeply hates touchscreens, but this

Here we are with the Motorola Milestone again. In my previous post, I have tried to tweak the stock Froyo ROM for the Milestone in order to get the best performance that it can deliver. So after the previous post, I had a Milestone with stock Froyo, rooted and overclocked. Also, the homescreen application was locked in memory so it wouldn't reload like crazy. Everything was fine

Well, it's time for the X7 shots. Here are some shots I took with it this weekend, starting with some really cool clouds seen from the top of my office building, continuing with some indoors shots of some kitchen furniture, and then some shots of my kid. I have to say that when it comes to landscapes the X7's EDoF camera really shines.

Well, I've seen so many people comment on how Nokia is sinking because of the deal with Microsoft. That's just bogus. Why? Because first of all, Nokia had a healthy Microsoft money infusion even before it started developing the first WP7 phone. As you could see from the SeaRay preview Elop showed to the press, Nokia is there way sooner than anyone ever thought. WP7 in my opinion

A week back I got a Milestone from someone. This guy was running Android Eclair 2.1 on his Milestone, and wouldn't upgrade to Froyo because of the bad stuff he heard about it. The phone was barely usable even withe Eclair, so the guy comes to me and asks me to do something about it. I blackmailed him into leaving his device with me for a couple of weeks so I would give it the full

Well, Symbian Anna is an evolution of Symbian^3. It fixes most of the things that were annoying in Symbian^3 and also adds new features that were missing.

When the Nokia X7 arrived to my home, courtesy of the nice folks at WOMWorld, I wasn't there to receive it as with almost every package that comes with my name on it. So my wife received the package. I usually ask her to open up the package and plug the phone into the charger so I can use it fully charged when I get back home. When I get home I usually find the phone still connected to the

Well, somehow, Apple managed to get an injunction for the upcoming Samsung Tab in Europe(except Netherlands). A German court, ordered Samsung to delay the launch of the next Tab in European Union, at Apple's request. The reason was not patent infringement, but design rights. Apple claimed the the Samsung Tab copies the iPad design. Why is this outrageous? Because Apple claims that it has

Well, I've been waiting quite a while to write this post. Many asked me to write a post on how to install a custom ROM. My answer until today was, I won't. Why? Because there was no custom ROM that was as stable as the stock ROM. CyanogenMod has been the closest ROM to stock stability-wise. It had it's pros and cons. The biggest con it had was the video recording bugs. Even with the phone

Nokia has been working for the last days at releasing the Symbian Anna update for the Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia N8 and Nokia E7.

Something teasing appeared on Nokia's Facebook page the other day. A countdown to "Something new on Symbian". At the time of this post there are still 28 hours left until the uncovering. However, the flash movie from Nokia's website was kind of a spoiler. They named it something like "Belle teaser", so you can imagine the surprise coming tomorrow. Nokia will surely officially

Minutes ago Nokia officially launched Symbian Belle.Belle came accompanied by 3(three) new smartphones: Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600. Belle comes with a completely redesigned homescreen much like Android's homescreen or like SPB Shell. It also includes a new pull down notification area.

So, for those TouchWiz fans out there, Samsung just announced three new Bada phones. Bada 2.0 that is. Bada 2.0 has finally brought along multitasking, NFC, WiFi-Direct, HTML5 support and voice recognition. The SDK(standard developer kit) was also launched recently.

Well, just when every thought that Symbian is dead and buried, Nokia came up with Belle, which radically changes the user experience of Symbian smartphones. But two days ago something else happened, something that made me rub my eyes a little. Nokia and Microsoft announced that Microsoft Apps will be available for Symbian Belle devices. The applications will be available in two stages.

Well, I thought that my last post about custom ROMs for the Milestone would be the last in the series, but as you can see it is not. The custom ROM I have installed led me to another problem, low RAM that is. So while I recommended to everyone to keep their launchers in memory at all times, I realized that you can't take full advantage of the low RAM of the Milestone in this case. So I

When I received an email from Paul back at WOMWorld/Nokia I could hardly wait to get my hands on the Nokia E6. A few days later when it arrived, I was thrilled. I have repeatedly admitted that I am a full QWERTY candybar fan, with the Nokia E5 being my favorite till now. Why I like the E6 better? First of all, because it has a touchscreen. Second, because it has twice the
