Google's Wireless Service Might Be Announced On April 22

There hasn't been much else said from Google about their new anticipated Wireless service since early March.  But, according to the Wall Street Journal, Google is rumored to announce this service as soon as April 22.  For those of you that dont know, Google is teaming up with Sprint and T-Mobileto give the consumers the ability to switch from either network depending on which out of the 2 signals is stronger than the other in a area.  Google service is also to use Wifi networks for cells and data as well. 

Google is also to allow its customers to only pay for what they have used.  Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Most carriers just want you to pay out a flat rate each month even if you don't use all of your data or minutes or text.

The only thing might run the customers away from this service is that you must own or buy a Nexus 6 smartphone. Atleast that is what the plan was originally set for. 

As of now, all of this is just rumors.  Not for sure or certain that Google will announce this service on April 22.  While we also know that Google's I/O developer conference is right around the corner, having Google to make an announcement on April 22 will be a thrill to see and hear.

So, what do you all think about Google's new wireless service and its options? Is this all you would need to switch?  Do you own a Nexus 6? Will you buy one now to get Google's service?  Leave the comments below...

Hidden Games Within Android Lollipop!

Google and Android have a lot of hidden items and objects and apps that all surprise us.  But did you know that Google inputted a hidden game right into the latest OS which is Android 5.0 and 5.1?  It is the lollipop game/Flappy Bird.  Anyone with the latest OS can play this game at anytime they want and of course it is free.  It is right in your system.  But there are some steps into getting to it. 

Steps
Go to your system settings.
Hit About Phone tab.
Click on your Adroid Version
Tap the lollipop to many colors.
Hold down in middle of the lollipop until you see the game.
You are ready to play.

Here is a clip of the game play. Watch Video Now.

Next is also a hidden game within the Chrome browser.  Its the Dino game!  Once you play it, it is very addictive as much as the Lollipop Edition of Flappy Birds.  Now in order to unlock this game, you must first be offline.  Then, your next step is to open your chrome browser and act like you are trying to search for something. But you are offline. Then an error page will appear with a Dinosaur on it.  Your next step is to push it and the game begins.  See below for the game footage.  I hope this article was very helpful. Hope these games will save you time and storage spaces on your Android devices. Let me know how your experience is with these games and if you found it easy to unlock or hard. 

Google Drive on Android Has a Hidden Feature... Your Apps!

Hello everyone again! It is just one of those days where its Google Time! Today, I was just going through my Google Drive scrolling away and notice that I am on FULL with my Drive storage! Oh No! Not to worry, I figured out why I was on full and will get to deleting as soon as I can.  But, that is not the only thing I am here to discuss with you all.  I also notice as I was scrolling across the middle of the app, I seen the Google toolbar (at least that is what I call it).  The same black bar you see on your Chrome browser.  I seen tabs that read my Google plus name, Search, Images, Play, Gmail, Youtube, and More.  I touched where my G+ display was located and seen my notifications appear and I was amazed! You can view your Google+ notifications and comments right inside the Google Drive application! That is freaking awesome!  I would have never known that at all if I hadn't come to my storage options.  Plus, there is more.  You can also open your Youtube app, Google Play, Gmail and even Maps app right from the Google Drive app!  Whether you feel this is a hidden feature or not, I truly believe this is something that is very useful when you are in a multitasking mood.  It may not WOW everyone, but I am sure you all are going to love this in many ways than I can imagine.  So guys tell me what do you all think about this? Is it a hit or miss?  You know what to do.  Drop those comments down below...

Google+ Notifications are hidden within the Google Drive App for Android! Watch Video!

The Google Handwriting Input App

A couple of days ago, Google somewhat quietly released a handwriting tool app called "Google Handwriting Input" application on the play store.  This app will allow you to handwrite almost anything.  From your messages, to emails, to note taking.  Instead of typing, swyping, or voice input, you are now able to use your own handwriting to input into words.  Now, if you don't have very good handwriting, you are not alone.  The application will auto correct your writing.  This app also includes over 82 different languages for inputs.  You can even draw out you ejimos and symbols as well. Below in the videos will show you hands on on how to use this app on your Android device and how to setup the app as well.  If you have this application, tell me what do you think about this app so far?  Is it coming in handy for you now than ever before? Why do you think it took Google so long to release such an app?  Thanks for your reading and viewing.

Why Does the Nexus 6 Reboots Itself?

Hello everyone, for my Nexus 6 users, have you ever wonder why does the Nexus 6 always reboot itself, or freeze up, or even always stops responding?  There are a lot of factors that can be apart of this puzzle.  While there are so many problems to the big issue, there are also some solutions they help you figure it out.  Below are just a few suggestions that may help solve the problem of the Nexus 6 always rebooting itself and any other minor issue.

1) TOO MANY APPS!

Yes, I myself am a app lover and hoarder of them as well.  One problem could be that you have a lot apps on board on the device.  Is it possible that you are probably using all of the apps that are installed and downloaded to the device? Yes, you might be using all of them, but are you using all the apps on the daily basis? You can check which apps that suck up the most RAM and internal storage by going to your settings and selecting Apps tab.
. 
Sometimes we may miss a app running in the background. In Android 5.0, the most recent tabs area sometimes doesn't all the time remove your most recent apps from the section. So, just take a double look and remove apps.  Sometimes even a random app will appear in the recent tabs that you haven't even recently used! Thats Android! Just swype it to the left or right and then its gone.

This is a problem too. Even though you all may not see it like this, but you'll see the difference once the apps are disabled or deleted.  So, the apps that you do not use (3rd-party apps) you might want to uninstall the apps that aren't not being used at all and it will also give you more storage space back on your device as well. Since the Nexus 6 has no micro SD card slot and you can not remove the back cover.

2) SAFE MODE!

Another solution might be is to place your device into Safe Mode. When you use Safe Mode on your device, this may identify the apps that causing the device to trigger off glitches and freezes and force stops.

3) CLEAR DATA AND CACHE

Collecting a lot of data on your phone will cause your device to act weird and not work properly. You don't need all that data from your apps to be stored onto your device.  So clear all data and cache.
Warning! Some apps may ask you to relogin again. So remember usernames and passwords.

4) FACTORY RESET

Hopefully you dont have to come down to this point.  But if you have done all the other options mentioned above and your device is still rebooting on its own and not responding right away, then you are probably going to have to factory reset your device.  Now, before you go ahead
and do so, make sure to backup any important data and information that you want to keep on file in your Google Account.

Hope these solutions were very helpful and useful to those of you with the Nexus 6. This may also help you as well with any Android smartphone and/or tablet.  If you have any other suggestions, please leave them in the comments below and I will surely add them to the list as well.

NEXUS 6 One Month Later

Hello everybody, its me again with another incredible article! Now, I know just a little over a month ago I still rolling with the LG G Flex (gen 1).  I'm sure you all remembered bashing every other phone out there including the Galaxies and the Notes when it came to the G Flex. Well, its time came and went. Besides, the G Flex was aging and I would've had to get another smartphone anyways.  But, enough about what to that old phone I had.  Lets talk about the one I been with for the last month!

NEXUS 6

The Nexus 6 is by Google and Motorola. Two of the most innovative tech companies and phone manufactures that are out. Now, you would think by having these two giants come together they are a beast!  I mean sure, not all will like the 6 inch display or that it has 2K resolution.  But, it is definitely a true phablet in my eyes. No need for a 7inch tablet. So, hey no tablet needed then.  No removable battery, but I have been using the Moto Turbo charger.  It works great. It gives me 6 hours of battery life extra when i need it.  The 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM is more than enough for me to use this device. No, it doesn't have SD card slot to insert. No problem for me, I use my cloud accounts such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. They are all secured and I can access them anytime, anywhere.  So thats where all of my videos I record and photos are placed. In the clouds.  The gaming and video picture quality are just great.  I really don't see me upgrading to anything else.  I have stock android and that it is a Nexus 6, so since it is a Google product, it would be one of the few to receive a Android OS update first.  So, no worries in that department. Now, about the Android updates.  As when I first purchase the Nexus 6, I really didnt get to play with Android 5.0.  But, I do know it wasn't the best and yes it was very buggy and laggy and even slow at times.  So glad I didn't live through that. Now with 5.0.1 update right out the box as soon as I had everything setup.  Android 5.0.1 was just to pretty much fixed what 5.0 couldn't do.  Andorid 5.0.1 wasn't bad at all from my experience with the nexus device.  I mean sure, there were times a app didnt open and there were times a app crashed. Sometimes the Google Play Services error would appear on screen.   Didn't say that the phone or OS was perfect. No, it will never be perfect. If that would make the case, then even iOS users would switch real quick!  But that is not the case at all.  For the most part, it can do what it is set out to do.  A little over a week ago, I have received one of the biggest updates of the year for Android and the Nexus 6, Android 5.1. Now Android 5.1 adds more options for alarm toggling in the quick settings for priority settings and  Wifi and bluetooth options as well. Now you dont have to go through the manual settings just to switch Wifi connections or bluetooh.  You switch right from your quick settings mode.  You also get animation with portrait and auto-rotate mode.    There were also some more bug fixes and minor improvements as well.  But a couple of days ago, my phone did stop responding due to the UI not responding.  But I let it play it out and then the phone back to work.  I dont know if that had to do anything with the update or a particular app. So I downloaded the Device Assist app from Google for the Nexus, GPE (google play edition), and the android one devices.  According to the app, my Nexus 6 is doing good.  Which I think is pretty odd, if the UI had stopped responded.  No worries now, because it is working just find.

MY THOUGHTS

After one month of owning the Nexus 6 aka Moto X Nexus, I find this phone to be the BEST out behind the S6 and M9, because fanboys of the galaxies will get their voices heard first. But, its about what I like now and how I feel.  The Nexus 6 has stock android. You really can't go wrong with stock and it also has Google Now Launcher included on board with the phone.  It has all of your favorite Google apps and no BLOATWARE.  So plenty of memory with my 32GB model. It had 25GB available storage and I still have 23GB of storage left. Plus my cloud storage. 2K display is very nice.  Not as great as the Note 4's due to Super AMOLED VS AMOLED. You'll have to see the difference in person.  The camera I forgot to mention is better than what I heard. With my experiences and photoshots, the picture quality came out great and the 4K video is decent. It isn't the best. I'll give it that.  The battery life is average and with the Moto charger, it helps out.  This phone has almost been out for 6 months now on the market. I still would recommend this device.  I would definitely keep the Nexus in the top 10 and even in the top 5 smartphones for 2014-2015.  So, there you all have it.  My take on the Nexus 6.  What are your thoughts on the Motorola X Nexus?  Leave the comments below. 

How I Made My iPod Touch 5G Into a iPhone!

I will bring up iOS every now and then.  But not too often.  I actually do like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.  Apple went out of their way to keep up with the Androids in the world such as Nexus, LG, HTC, and of course Samsung.  But enough of all the blah blah.  In the image above, you see that that is not an iPhone. No? No, is correct.  It is an iPod Touch 5G 32GB model to be exact.  The reason why I am mentioning the iPod Touch now is for even so long that Apple has still have the 5G and no 6G announced.  The 5G 16GB model only cost $179.99 every now and then. While the 32GB is $239 and 64GB is usually $299.  Well, you still can download all the great iOS apps and Google and even Microsoft apps as well on the iPod Touch. You can still use iMessage and even FaceTime just an iPhone can.  The main difference is that iPhone has data network from several carriers and Wifi, while the iPod Touch only has Wifi.  Well, actually there are ways you can give your iPod Touch a data connection as well as wifi. You can use a device called the iPod Touch Sleeve or a mobile Hotspot that uses a data network connection. Not just wifi, but also data.  One particular company is called Freedompop. I have mentioned FreedomPop several times in my posts and articles. So for the new viewers and and readers, I will make this simple.  FreedomPop is a company that promises its consumers FREE Internet and Phone service for life! Yes, you all heard me right, Freedompop delivers Free texting, calling, and even data.  Well, to a limit at the least. For those that dont do too much talking and texting, you get 200 minutes and 500 texts for the free.  With data you get 500MB per month for the free.  If you around wifi all the time, this won't even touch your wallets!  Plus, there are a lot of ways to communicate with family and friends now.  You have iMessage, FaceTime, Facebook and it messenger, Skype, and even Hangouts. All have free calls, texts, and video message.  So with the Freedompop iPod Touch Sleeve or their 4G hotspot, you won't go wrong. You'll be free from any contracts and being stuck with a high bill.  This all would be free for life once you pay for your devices. But, other than that, that would be it.  Just think about all the money you would be saving by just doing this? Well, I have my iPhone. I don't have to pay anything anymore. Oh, yes, you can also do this as well with the Android smartphones.  Freedompop Apps are now available on the app store and google play store.   So, guys what do you think about all of this? Is it a hit or miss? You all can leave those comments below.

HBO NOW is out on Apple TV and iOS Devices

                                                 HBO NOW available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Apple TV

A month ago, Apple and HBO had announced this great partnership.  HBO app was coming to iOS and the Apple TV.  Unfortunately, this is a exclusive deal only.  So if you do not have a Apple device such as the Apple TV or iPad or iPhone, then you are out of luck.  This will be great for on the go and for people that do not use cable or DirecTV.  Maybe this will be the break out of the quote "Cut the Cord" or "Cut the Cable".  Now with the HBO Now, all you would need to watch it is internet access or Data such as 4G and LTE.  There is a subscription for this great app. You sign up first, if you haven't already, then you try it out for 30 days. After your 30 days are up, then you will be paying $14.99 per month for HBO.  For this and the price, do you think it is worth it?  Is this enough for you to stop paying for cable and DirecTV? Do you already not have NetFlix, Hulu and Crackle accounts to watch all the movies and best originals? What about the Amazon users, Androids, and Windows users? How do you all feel about the HBO NOW being only available on iOS and Apple TV? I'm sure you all have a lot to say about Apple and HBO.  Well, don't just sit there. Drop them comments below!

Android 5.1 Is Out Now For The Nexus 6 with T-Mobile

 

The Nexus 6 on +T-Mobile finally gets the Android 5.1 treatment! It rolled out just last week OTA. But for some other Nexus 6 users, it will vary on when others will receive it, if they haven't already.  But the new Android 5.1 allow +T-Mobile and +Verizon Wireless users to have HD Voice for calling.  Also you have new animation with the potrait icon, which youll see it change from potrait to landscape mode in animations. Also, you'll be able to choose your wifi and bluetooth right from the notification menu.  You'll also see chromecast and your mobile hotspot icons to select in notification status menu when sliding down from the top of homescreen. There is also some minor improvements and bug fixes as well you'll see.  But, overall, it is a much better improvement from it just being Android 5.0. Just wish there was a restart option on the shut down menu.  So, far what do you all think of Android 5.1? Do you see the difference in your device or no?

My New Favorite Wallpaper!

Yahoo Weather App

The yahoo Weather app is one of the best, if not the best, to keep you posted about the latest weather updates in your area and even near by.  You can even search other locations and see what the weather is like in other places as well.  It shows hour to hour stats, 5 day forecast, and even 10 day forecast.  You can even see the current weather conditions right the mini radar Map in the app itself.  Plus, there are plenty of different widgets you can use to place on your homescreen of your Android device, weather its a smartphone or tablet.  I definitely would recommend this app for anyone that wants to keep track of incoming weather for today, tomorrow, and even 10 days from now.  So what is your favorite weather app and why?

I say it can be very helpful to others at times that want to see what is going on from a glance just by looking at the lock screen. Ok, so what are your thoughts on these neat features from Clean Master and Cheetah Mobile. Is it worth the try?  Leave all comments below.  

Android 5.1 Update Is Now

Ok guys, so there has been a lot of dirt thrown at Google about Lollipop 5.0. Why haven't a lot of high end devices been receiving the update at normal rate or maybe why 5.0 had so many issues and problems.  A lot of carriers have been slow to release just the Android 5.0 to their phones such as the Galaxy S5s, S4s, Note 4s, M8s, and M7s.  But not to worry as those devices are finally getting to see the Lollipop update (after about 4 months being available).  But, not to worry as Android 5.1 has been released in the wild. Now for those that do not know about how the Android updates work, Google usually only let their Nexus line of devices receive the Android updates because its pure stock android and Nexus is by Google.  The devices that will receive Android 5.1 update first will be the Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 devices.  As recent reports stated that Verizon's Nexus 6 will launch with Android 5.1 on device  already.  The Verizon's Nexus 6 will be available to purchase next week.  There are also other carriers right now including Google Store already have the Nexus 6 available if you don't want to wait a few more days.  So, now that is out of the way, let us take a look at what we will be getting from the latest Android Lollipop update.

Dual Sim

Dual Sim capabilities will be available for the Android 5.1. Which means if you or more than one other person will be using the same phone, you can keep your information protected, plus you'll be able to use more than one carrier sim card such as T-Mobile and At&t.  This will also come in handy for traveling as well in parts that do not have a particular service or good signal for one or the other.

Device Protection

The Device Protection, when a lost or stolen device remains lock until you sign in to your Google account.  This is a new feature that is available on most android devices shipped with 5.1 in addition to the Nexus 6 and 9.

HD Voice

HD voice is already available on the T-Mobile phones, but this is coming to other carriers as well  such as Verizon Wireless. HD voice improves on voice improvements and enhancements. But who talks on phones today anyway?

Quick Settings!

Yes! What we all been waiting for in the Lollipop updates,  There are quite a few improvements in the quick settings menu.  Now, instead of having to go all the way through the settings app to pair your bluetooth and wifi, you can now control it all from the status bar drop down menu.

As you can see from the list, there is a lot to be rooting for or even looking forward to as your android devices get hyped for the Android 5.1 update.  But one thing that seems to puzzle me about the whole Lollipop upgrade and updates, where is the SILENT MODE! For goodness sake, Google, please bring back the Silent Mode in 5.1.1 at least, maybe. 

Based on what you see here and everywhere else, what are the android fans mostly excited for?  Do you have a Nexus device? Are these enhancements worth the wait?  Please drop all of your comments below.

APPLE WORLD and iOS 8.2 update

Tim Cook on Stage from Apple Watch Event 2015

This week was Apple's week! A lot came out of the Apple watch event today.  So we know what the apple watch can do and how much it cost. So from what you all seen by the watch.  Also there was  an announcement for retina displays in the Macbooks.  They also will have another upgrade chipset in their macbook airs and pro lines as well.  We also seen the new USB C-Type which was shown in the new Macbooks.  This new USB is to be way powerful and more superior than the rest that is out there to date.  But, it is brand new to the market. More information coming soon.  Along with the Apple Watch and Macbooks, there was also an OS update to iOS.  IOS 8.2 is now available to upgrade your iphones and iPads with and is suppose to be compatible with the new Apple Watch as well once the Watch is released to the consumers.  This week also brought an announcement from the CEO of HBO. Starting in April, HBONOW will launch and release for the iPhone, iPads, and the Apple TV.  Now, some reports were suggesting that the HBONOW would be on free trial for 1 month, then after would be $14.99, while the CEO of HBO had later said 3 months of free trial and then 14.99 a month.  Either way, it looks like the Internet might be taking over your livingroom and everywhere else.  So with all the news and announcements, which ones were you excited about and not so excited for?  Please leave your comments below.   Thanks

NEXUS 6 FOR 24 HOURS

So with the old and in with the new.  Well, sort of new.  Yes, I have given up on the LG G Flex in trade of the Motorola and Google's Nexus 6.  Now, you might be wondering for a guy that was so moved on what the LG G Flex had to offer at the time of owning one, makes you think why I gave up on it so soon or so late. But, the truth of the matter is that the G Flex is starting to age.  Its about a year and a half since it first released back in 2013. Its been that long.  But, I have always wanted to stay up with the curve in hardware and software when it comes to the Android ecosystem. What other way to do that if I can grab me a Nexus device, especially one of the latest and most recent ones. So, I did, I traded my G Flex in and I purchased the Nexus 6.  Now, lets talk about the Nexus 6 for a minute. The Nexus 6 is the by far most pure and premium Android smartphone you can have right now. Yeah, you have the G3, S5, and Note 4 and now G Flex 2.  But the Nexus is pure stock android and out the box with the latest OS Android lollipop 5.0.  I know that the new announced S6 and M9 will also come with the Android 5.0 Lollipop as well. But that is besides the point.  The Nexus 6 is a 6 inch screen with beauty! It has a 2560x1440 resolution, 13MP OIS camera, 2MP front facing, front facing speakers, Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal memory. But if you are worried about memory, you have other options to choose from such as cloud storage.  Now, I know some of you all don't believe in the clouds or put your trust in them. But Microsoft's One Drive gives you 100GB of cloud storage for just using the bing search engine and Google gives you 2GB of Cloud storage for checking your Google account security.  So that put together is 102GB of storage added to your device. No need for an SD card.  Also, there isn't a removable battery either here on this Nexus 6. Starting to see a pattern here (iphone). The Nexus 6 battery is a 3220 Mah and included with the Nexus 6, you will get the Motorola Turbo Charger.  This charger will boost your power in 15 minutes and you will get an extra 6 hours of talk time.   So that is more than enough power and memory.    Nexus 6 is not loaded with any bloatware. What this means is that there are no apps pre-loaded onto the device that you can not uninstall or disable.  Especially apps that are from your carrier or apps that come with the Galaxy, HTC One, LGs, and Sony phones, just to name a few.  This is pure Google and Android.  So you will probably have a little more memory on the Nexus phones than you would with the Galaxies and the Ones.  The Nexus 6 is by far one of the best phones you can buy right now.  If you are wanting to stay ahead of the curve and look stylish at the same time, then the Nexus 6 phone is for you.  If you feel your phone should have the most up to date software, then the Nexus 6 is for you.  If you like Motorola and Google, then the Nexus 6 is for you.  I just mentioned a lot of great things about the Nexus 6 and why you all should have one if you are using Android.  Google and Motorola has done an awesome job with this device. I definitely recommend this phone to everyone and anyone.  My last 24 hours with this device has been amazing.  The display is stunning, watching my Google Paly Movies has been a blast.  Listening to my music with the 2 front facing speakers and watching Youtube videos as well has been a great experience.  Surfing the web, texting, and phone calls have never felt better. I am able to do things and get things done in a timely matter without slow downs or lags. The Material Designs help color coordinate much better. Notifications swype away at ease. So far life is Good with the Nexus 6.  Also after the break you can check out my Nexus 6 Unboxing video on Youtube. You may subscribe now, if you haven't so already.

Google's Phone Service Is Only For the Nexus 6 Phone

                 

Google was at MWC this week and the exec Sundar Pichai did confirm the rumors of the company planning to launch their own phone service sometime soon.  But according to report claim from Wall Street Journal, this phone service might only be available right now with the latest Nexus phone the Nexus 6 which was a collaboration with Motorola Mobility which has now joined forces with the China company Lenovo.  Unfortunately, Google phone service will not work with the older Nexus devices such as the Nexus 5 or 4.  This service will allow users to use cellular and WiFi connections with the cell networks of Sprint and T-Mobile for service.  So what do you all think of this move and rumors from Google? Are you all interested for the new service? Are you now planning to get a Nexus 6? Does it matter if T-Mobile or Sprint networks are even included?  Leave all comments down below.  Share your thoughts.

The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are REAL!

Official T-Mobile Image of the Galaxy S6 Edge

This past recent week things have been fired up about Samsung's newest soon to flagship phones.  Lately carriers have been teasing us all with a similar from above which T-Mobile had uploaded to their site in the past week.  Also, there were similar images posted to At&t and Sprint's official sites as well. The most recent leaks have showed up were showing the S6 and S6 Edge on display for a pre register poster by Samsung. 

Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge 

From this image, it is hard to tell rather the S6 Edge will have edge screens on both sides. But the CNET Korea site clearly showed the S6 Edge with 2!

Image Provided by CNET/Kora 

The S6 Edge will possibly be the one that majority of the consumers might be willing to know more information on, as it seems to look very interesting.  The screen sizes are similar with 5.1 or 5,2 inch screen display and with AMOLED and QuadHD.  They also might only come with a 2600 mah batterty which is not what we really want.  Possibly a non removable battery and no SD card slot. Which I wouldn't be to upset about especially if they are releasing a model with 128GB of internal memory with 3GB of RAM on board. Also new is that there is suppose to be customization with the TouchWiz! Yay! Customize touchwiz how you want. Similar to like those Theme Launcher Apps you can download on the Google PlayStore.  

For what it seems as of  right now, both of these phones might seem promising.  Lets just keep our fingers crossed for the best and that Samsung gains momentum in the industry again.  So from what you all know and like and heard about the newest and latest of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge phones? Are you even considering to purchase one yet? Leave all comments below. 

Where Does Your Data Go?

It seems that data is everywhere these days.  Data on the left, data on the right.  Data right in front of you, and data is behind you.  We really at times can't keep up with where is all of our data going to and coming from.  So next, we are going to be covering some tips and tricks on where to look for your data and how to keep track of your data.  Your data is usually being sucked up through your applications on your mobile devices and your sites you visit on your browsers.  There are also applications that you can download in app stores as well to help you view and monitor your data.  Lets take a look and read some of these things.

There are many ways of how to check and track your data for your mobile devices.  Lets take a look at some of the steps and directions.

When using some android devices, the fastest way to check your data usage is through going to your settings, then looking for your data usage tab or your mobile data network tab. You will select these options and then you will see which apps and programs and even broswers are using up data and that are not using your data.

When wanting to know what sites are using up the most data on your browsers on your mobile devices and PCs, using chrome for instancesv, you select your internet settings in browser, then selectt data usage, and then you will find your most recent sites viewed and how much data is being used up to view that particular site.   Your data browser information and settings also gives you the option for you to delete or clear your data usage out of browsers.

The apps. Yes, there are apps as well to keep up with your usage and to track where all of your data is going as well.  But most cell phone carriers usually includes this partiular app on their services and plans and you can even check from your online accounts as well for your phone services and plans. Even with your Internet modems and mobile hotspots as well. You would hope to think that your carriers will send text alerts or notify you via text or email alerts.  But, just in they don't or maybe some consumers aren't knowing about this such thing, one app I would recommend for anyone to install onto their Android mobile devices, rather its a smartphone or tablet, is the Onavo Count app.  This application allows you to setup the amount of data which get each month from carrier and set up your start and end date of when your data is up.  Then it asks you how much you have used up so far to keep the app running accurately.  Make the app a homescreen widget on your device so you will know exatly how much data you have used and how much you have left.  It will also show apps and browsers and other programs as well that are using up your data.  It even gives you tips on how to save your data. You may download this app now for free. Check it out on the Google Play Store.

So, there you have it.  These are just some ways you can check your data usage on your mobile devices through your applications and browsers also.  If you feel your apps are taking up or using too much data, you can clear the data from the apps in the settings menu.  This also goes for the same thing in your browser settings.  Screenshots will be shown as well. How To video coming soon... Please leave a comment on your thoughts and any other information you would like to share related to this article below.

This image shows a glimpse of the data usage on a Samsung Android Device.

Image above shows the widgets for Onavo Count application monitoring your data usage and shows if you are using data or Wi-Fi.

This image is in Chrome Beta App, You head to the chrome browser, click settings, then click or select site settings. Then select Storage Tab to track your data coming from sites you browsed.

7 Tips On Keeping Your Privacy Safe Online

Internet privacy and security is very weak but it is the most talked about online and offline and on social media and tv these days. Weak passwords and easy to remember usernames are credited to all this. Plus companies that are not up to par with security threats and breaches that can suck your life up just by these hackers knowing your whole name social security numbers. Let alone your local address in which you live or stay. With all of that ia going on, should you the people trust anyone with your records anymore? I mean just look around you. Nowadays anyone could be a hacker now. Meaning bad hackers, the ones that want to make your life a living hell! While there are good hackers out here that give you great tips and tricks on how to make internet and your personal more simpler than ever. For the internet and mobile devices, I have just a few simple solutions for you all to take into serious consideration.

How to protect yourself online and offline

Make strong passwords. These passwords need to be at least 8 words or digits long. Try not to include symbols. Mainly letters and numbers. These passwords should not start off with abc, or 123, or password. Make sure they have nothing to deal with you.

Remember your usernames and passwords. Try not to save your passwords and usernames on your browsers or even computers unless they are pin protected and password protected. Or just create a password journal or diary and have a lock.

Turn off save passwords mode. In any browsing setting you will always find that save passwords mode is usually checked. Just turn it off and make sure you have saved and updated your settings so that your password wont ever reappear unless you input it into computer or program.

Turn off Autofill. You can also unmark this option in the internet browsing settings. Make sure your browsers forget all your information.

Turn on Do Not Track. In order for these ads not know what you interested in and websites visited, turn on Do Not Track option.

Disconnect from Internet. This could be the most important thing. Disconnect from your data, wifi and router. No one knows whats going on in your browser if you are completely offline and not connected. This also goes for bluetooth connectivity and as well as GPS signals also if on Tablets and Smartphones too.

Clear History. Your browsers usually remember what website you visit last. So you might want to check your history and delete all history.

New Internet Private Mode. You can also keep your information safe from cyber attackers and hackers and even family and friends by using the Browser Private Mode. This mode won't save any of your data or inputs.  Once you have exit the browser, all of your data and inputs will go away and won't reappear until you do so.

Bonus:

My bonus tip and trick. This can help you on battery life as well too for any device. If you are not using that particular device at any time, turn off the device all the way. Make sure your device is shutdown and Not in Sleep Mode.

FreedomPop Anniunced New Wifi Plan that only costs 4.95 per month

Tired of shelling out every month for an expensive 4G LTE contract? FreedomPop just announced a Wi-Fi-based alternative that’s as untraditional as it is enticing. For just $5 per month the company is offering access to a nationwide blanket of 10 million hotspots.

As you can see in the map shown, FreedomPop’s Wi-Fi network doesn’t exactly cover the entire country equally, but if you’re in a major metropolitan area there shouldn’t be any issues. The company tells TechCrunch that it’s new service is a valid option for roughly 120 million American residents. The Wi-Fi itself will work on multiple devices, simply requiring an app that’s available now for Android and coming soon to iOS.

The company says it partnered with number of chains including McDonalds, Starbucks, Burger King and Best Buy. If you’re in range of one of these stores, you’ll connect to the Wi-Fi automatically. If not, you can always use one of FreedomPop’s data plans, which offer up to 500MB of cellular data, 500 texts and 200 minutes of calling per month for free. That may not sound like a lot, but if you’re always connected to Wi-Fi it may actually be more than you need.

You want to be cable free? Heres how

For some time now, there have been different types of ways to watch TV. You have Computers that have streaming applications, TVs with built in Wifi for your Netflix and Hulu Plus. You have your internet boxes such as Roku, Chromecast, and Apple TV box.  You even can watch movies and TV shows right from your tablet and smartphones via app stores.  But this is all true, then why are so many consumers still paying for cable and satellite TV? Check out my video below as I explain my thoughts on saying "No to cable" and "Cut the cable bill".

Hp bluetooth mouse z8000 review

The HP Bluetooth Mouse Z8000! Boy! That is a long name.  But besides the name, this Bluetooth Mouse is top of the line. It is very slick and super thin! There no buttons at all on this mouse. Just two clicks underneath it.  You have a click for the left and a click for the right.  Also with this mouse, you have scrolling options as well.  It is great with using Windows 8.1 in all the right places. It works much better than a standard trackpad.  I definitely would recommend this Bluetooth mouse for those of you who are using a Windows 8.1 laptop or desktop.  For video hands-on, check out the video link below.

Netflix and Samsung team up

For Netflix subscribers that are planning on picking up a Galaxy S5, a Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy Tab S from Samsung, a newly leaked image suggests that a pretty big bonus will be included. As revealed by Android Central based on an anonymous leak, Samsung and Netflix will begin a promotion on Sunday, January 4, that will see a year’s worth of Netflix offered with no extra charge.

As noted on the image above, that’s a $100 value. The promotion also includes access to Milk Music — Samsung’s own music streaming service — for those who are open to new modes of listening to their favorite tunes.

The promotion will only last until January 17, though, and according to the original report it will only be available to the first 115,000 people that go through the steps to access the promotion and reap the rewards. For those who do buy one of the aforementioned devices, just head to SamsungPromotions.com to register the device. Once that’s done, and if the site accepts the information, then the credits necessary for 12 months of Netflix will be forked over. The best news is that this can be used for both new and existing Netflix subscribers.
