For those Android users who find CNN to be one of the top sources of latest information, you can now get the latest from the Canadian network Read More

Schedule Display Brightness And Wi-Fi/Data/Bluetooth Toggling On Android

There aren’t a lot of applications on the Market that provide you with comprehensive aid in conserving the battery life of your Android device. JuiceDefender, which has been around for quite a while now, is probably the best application of said kind, with more features and customizability than any other similar app on the Market. However, not all said features are available in the free version. Moreover, for certain novice users, the high level of customizability may sometimes become a tad confusing. A recent addition to the Android Market, Power Scheduler is a simple-to-use alternative to the aforementioned app. In addition to having a minimalistic interface that is extremely easy to understand and get used to, the application sports a few extra features that JuiceDefender doesn’t. That is, apart from allowing users to set schedules for the level of screen brightness and switching Wi-Fi/network data on or off, the application allows the same for Bluetooth and Airplane Mode.

Sync Android SD Card Files & Folders With Dropbox Using Dropspace

The official Dropbox application for Android allows you to pick files from your phone’s SD card to be uploaded to your remote Dropbox directory and vice versa. However, the files you select aren’t synced to their transferred (uploaded or downloaded) counterparts. That is, if you upload a file or directory from your SD card to Dropbox, any changes you make to that file after the upload will not be reflected in the remote Dropbox directory. Wouldn’t it be great if your phone would automatically back up an SD card directory of your choice (your photo gallery, for instance) every time changes were made to it? Well, now there is an app on the Android Market that does just that. Read More

Display QR Codes Of Android Apps In Android Market

by on

Android Market makes it easier to install apps with just one click but lacks QR codes. But why would someone need QR code when he/she can simply sign in and push the apps directly to the device? It is an interesting question but I can see various scenarios where a QR code would definitely come useful. Suppose a group of friends browsing around the Android Market. Not everyone can sign in to push the apps to their devices. Therefore, the best case scenario for everyone would be to use Google Goggles or Barcode Scanner to download apps directly to their devices. Now suppose another situation where writers (like us) and users (who post on forums) want others to try out an app, we can simply post the QR code making it easier for them to download. Showing a QR code on the app page also means that you can print them too. Read More

Apps Uninstall Batch Uninstalls Multiple Android Apps

There are hundreds of useful apps out there in the Android Market. What if you have installed many of them only to find your phone with low disk space? Uninstalling the apps through the conventional method, by navigating to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, is one good way of doing it. Otherwise, you may also use the popular AppBrain app to uninstall all unneeded apps. There is however one downside of using both these methods, they do not allow bulk uninstallation of apps. Apps Uninstall can ultimately solve this problem. Not only the app lets you uninstall unwanted apps in bulk, but also supports a built-in search and sort tool to offer a greater degree of user convenience as well. Read More
