As in the previous article we reported a simple method to install almost any Android app on your shiny new Kindle Fire. Just have a look at that article if you happen to own a Kindle Fire or expect to buy it in the near future as the procedure is rather simple to follow. If you are wondering that which Android apps are compatible with the Kindle Fire and work with no issues or minimal issues? We don’t have the exhaustive list but PC Mag has listed some of the apps that do work without issues according ...

As you might know that Amazon has just released the Kindle Fire a cheap Android based tablet a few days back. Main selling point for the Kindle Fire is of course its price-point as its available for $199 and includes all the essential features of an Android tablet, although the 7-inch screen size might be too small for some peoples liking to consider it. Sales for the Kindle Fire also seems to be going pretty strong at least as compared to many other Android based tablets. No wonder its the first ...

Well, I just found out that our beloved Samsung Galaxy SII (S2) already includes the required support for the USB 2 based On-The-Go (OTG) that basically means a user can connect the USB enabled storage devices for example USB flash drives, card readers etc. with the SGS2. However, keep in mind that power delivered by the Galaxy SII (S2) on the port is not very strong and cannot drive external USB HDDs unless they are powered by an external source. Also Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII) don’t come bundled ...

Touchwiz 4 is the latest version of the Samsung suite of apps and a layer of user-interface coating on top of plain vanilla Android ASOP experience as we used to get on the Google branded Nexus devices. It can also be considered as an equivalent to the HTC Sense but of course from Samsung. I know that many users consider the Touchwiz as bloat and they might be right as some apps included in Touchwiz such as Social hub, Music hub, Games hub and so on are really crappy and not of much use for most ...

In the recent builds Flash, we have witnessed a notable performance improvement in particular related to the hardware acceleration. But despite these performance improvements flash performance can be quite taxing for the older hardware. These older PCs usually struggle to play many flash games, applications built in flash and even many flash heavy sites cause trouble when loaded on low end systems. There is really not much we can do expect to upgrade the hardware i.e. processor, RAM or the entire ...

Mozilla has recently released the Firefox 8.0 final version and the number of changes as compared to the previous version are minimal at best. One of highly demanded features that Firefox users have been asking for a long time is the official support for 64-bit builds of the Firefox. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it yet – not even with the recent release of the Firefox 8.0. Firefox 9.0 is not expected to get this 64-bit support either. It seems from some reports that Firefox 10 might be the release ...

In iOS 5 Apple has managed to fix most of the limitation that were apparent in the iOS 4.x, for example, the Notification Center enhancements including widgets (although they are still not as flexible as on Android), Wi-Fi syncing and some small but very useful features such as camera access from lock-screen and using the vol button as the camera shutter, and dictionary access and many other features. However, one area where it seems to be still somewhat limited is the custom keyboard support. I ...

Since Apple started to release the Dev versions of the iOS 5 to the developers most of the users expected that a Panoramic mode for the system camera App in the iOS 5 will make its debut with the official release of the iOS 5. Well, it didn’t happen, but it seems that code for the Panoramic mode was still lying their underneath in iOS – just waiting to be enabled and sure enough inevitable happened as the @chpwn – a famous iOS jailbreak developer found a way to enable it for the iPhone and ...

As I commented before in previous articles that stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3) Samsung ROM on Galaxy SII (S2) works pretty well right out of the box, but still I am not very happy with some of the design decisions taken by the stock ROM developers at Samsung. For example,why can’t we mute the shutter sounds when taking the stills, why no option to disable the battery low or full charge notification sounds, and most annoying – no option to show the battery icon in the status bar showing the percentage! ...

Super AMOLED screen on Samsung Galaxy S2 is no doubt amazing with its rich colors, deep blacks and increased sharpness that bring everything to life that you view on the device. However, for some reason, there are screen sensitivity issues. In more specific terms, screen doesn’t seem to register the movements when the pressure applied is below a specific threshold as well as if the touch is for a short time. This can get annoying for the users that are coming from other devices and used to only ...
