Splitscreen for Your Android Device

There was a time I read about a Samsung device having a feature called "Split Screen" A feature that allows user do some things, say :Browsing and watching movie at the same time: Then, I was like, damn, Thats cool, yeah! So now, even tho I use a SGT2. I still havnt seen that feature. But now, I think, almost EVERY ANDROID DEVICE can have that feature. Yes! But how?
...
There are these two apps from the same Developer - GPC
Gplayer & Floating Browser.

These two apps can perform their funtion while floating on the screen of your device. You can resize them, move them to a particular place, do some other stuffs while they just do their work.

So visit the Playstore and get the following apps.
Gplayer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo&hl=en

Floating app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupWeb&hl=nl

With these two apps, you can watch movies while still surfing the web.

See a screenshot of these apps in action.

The windows can also be resized to anysize to quickly perform another task..

New Android User? Read This!!! (Part 1)

"Congratulations on your new Android device" That was how a friend greeted me when i also got my first android phone. So i'm saying same to you if you fall in the New Android User category.

The device is a smartphone, so you the holder gotta be smart too (lol.) Nevermind!
Would like to let you know the device you're having is a very high level of potential in serving.

What do you expect from the Big G.???

Would like to share with you some essential settings and apps you should be having on your device to get you smart on the go.

You would like to the device you have is a power and data hungry beast! Yes, the simple formular is 

Android + Power + Data = Genuis
Android - Power - Date = Toy

Even HTC would state in their manual that you need an unlimited data plan to enjoy their device.

So, you got the phone, data is ready, power is on standby. Lets kick off

Log in your Play store and ready to pimp your smartphone.

Would like to suggest some neccessary setups. (Just an opinion) as you need to save battery life.

1. Brightness : Looking at the "battery use" in android devices, "Screen" seems to have the longest usage bar. Yes, Display, so to save more battery, lets set up some display settings to ease the lynching of the battery life. Leaving the screen backlight at the lowest would be perfect but if your the type that use the phone anywhere (like in the daylight outside) you can set to auto so the sensor can switch between levels in indoor and outdoor situations. Also, untick the "Auto-rotate screen"

2. Sync : Set the sync time intervals to longer time as short sync time can be draining battery real good. You can also choose to sync manually.

3. GPS ; If you're not the type that uses Map all the time, You can de-activate the gps.

4. WiFi : Leaving the wifi on can also hinder long-lasting battery-life. Activate only when needed. There are apps that can manage wifi. Apps can help you switch off the wifi when its not in use.

5. Data : Also, setting the data connection type at lower eg 2G would also do great in saving more battery juice

Ok! For settings, thats a lil you can try out to optimize your device battery life.

Later, i would be sharing tips on how to enhance the BatteryLife/Device with some applications. Stay tuned. Always check here for more tips. (Part 2)

If you enjoyed the tips, pls share with others, like, and comment.
Also, should you have any additional tip and suggestion for us, we'll be very greatful. Kindly use the form on the right hand pane to reach us.

Battery Consumption Illustration by Snapdragon (Video)

I was just cruising this cool afternoon when when i saw this video on Youtube by Snapdragon; a giant CPU manufacturer. So i decided to share with my readers.

The video was illustrated to show how Chipset works and how much power they consume which leaves effects on the battery life of our smartphones. A device (dont know which device) having the Dual-Core Snapdragon Chipset on was compared with a competitor having a Quad-Core chipset. Both were connected to a power monitor.

The smartphone batteries were bypassed. That way, both phones are fed the same voltage (3.7 volts). The boxes are also able to measure the current passing through the phones. A call was then placed to each phone so you can see how much current is being used during the phones calls. With the displays on and off, the Qualcomm Snapdragon smartphone is the least power-hungry in the modem department compare to its competitor. 

Watch the video and see the results for yourself.

Qualcomm Launches its Snapdragon Battery Guru App

One of the giant chip manufacturer Qualcomm has launched an Android app that improves the battery life for devices powered by its Snapdragon chipset Processor.

The app Snapdragon BatteryGuru, is available free on the Google Play Store, works with both hardware and software to maximize power cell longevity by intelligently adjusting the device settings without disabling its often used features.

The app 'studies' users behavior and tweaks internal settings such as sync frequencies of apps accordingly, saving valuable charge from being expended needlessly as the device connects to Wi-Fi and mobile networks to update.

Since its launch, the app has seen over 100,000 downloads and is said to optimize performance offered by Android devices featuring the  integrated modem that comes as part of the Snapdragon chipset.

Qualcomm recently posted test results illustrating the low-power consuming qualities of its wares in which it was demonstrated that a device running a dual-core Snapdragon chip clocked at 1.2GHz used 42% less power than a non-Snapdragon competitor. Both handsets were fed the same voltage of 3.7v as a control during the experiment.

Snapdragon BatteryGuru was  initially released as a beta version in February of this year as part of Qualcomm's efforts to combine efficient and powerful processing with smartphone stamina.

The CPU giant says that its BatteryGuru app will work alongside its processors to extend the use smartphone owners get from their devices from a single charge, something that will no doubt be a boon to users for whom short battery life has been a bugbear since the advent of smartphones.

Below is a video on How the app works.

Cerberus Anti-Theft Android Application

Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.
It has three ways to protect your device:
- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card
Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:

- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code
- Record audio from the microphone

Cerberus automatically enables GPS if it is off when you try to localize your device (applies only only on Android < 2.3.3) and you can protect it from unauthorized uninstall.
This app works even if the device does not have an internet connection thanks to remote control by sms messages. Also, the SIM Checker feature allows you to know the new number to send texts to, if the SIM card is changed. Texts received and sent for Cerberus remote control will not start any notification and will not appear in the Messages application.
Cerberus does not drain the battery because there is no background service running: it will activate only if there is a remote control request and will stop afterwards.
More features for rooted devices: complete uninstall protection (a thief will be able to delete Cerberus only by flashing another ROM), GPS auto-enabling even on Android > 2.3.3. More info on the website in the Help section.

Loader Droid for Android

Are you an Android user? Do you download huge-sized files on the internet?
Would like to introduce you to LOADER DROID.
LoaderDroid is a download manager for android. It supports any type of file for downloading: videos, images, music, applications, anything.

Features:
* Resumeable downloads (continue loading from the same place it was interrupted)
* Auto pause when connection lost
* Auto resume when connection reappear
* Intercepts links from Browser and other applications
* You can define what connection is allowed for each link (WI-FI, 3G, etc)
* Faster loading by splitting loading into parts
* Scheduling
* Stable, fast and easy to use
It solves many problems with the standard Android Browser, which is sometimes unable to load files (including e-books, video streams, audio, applictions, zip files, etc.)
It may also help load video streams from your favorite website (for example, the website doesn't natively support downloading and only displays in video player).
Just click on link in the Android Browser and select LoaderDroid from list of applications. Or you can share a link to LoaderDroid using Android sharing feature.
Also you can click on the "plus" button in the action bar and enter the link manually (by typing or pasting). And finally you can use embedded browser into LoaderDroid, it automatically detects loadable links as soon as you click on them.

LoaderDroid can easily download huge files: it is just a question of time and space on your sdcard. LoaderDroid supports resumable downloading, so don't worry if you lose connection or pause loading - loading will be restored from the place it was interrupted. LoaderDroid loads via specified connection (WI-FI only, WI-FI and mobile) and if the connection is switched off or disconnected, all downloads will be paused immediately, so don't worry about your carrier traffic.
For most servers LoaderDroid will load in 3 threads: sometimes this increases loading speed up to 3 times.
Also it is very smart Android loader and will not use any type of resource if it is not necessary.

Loader Droid is available in Free version and an AdFree version (Pro Key) for $2.49
Download LOADER DROID from Google Playstore.
