Course Notes Beta : Review

There are many developers out there developing apps for user's entertainment purposes, but very few out there who utilize this platform to spread education and one them is Burrow Applications.

Burrow Applications has been developing apps for quiet a time now and all of them are pretty useful. One of their famous app that we reviewed was App Manager For Android.

They are back with something that will surely turn out to be useful for all those who are pursuing graduation. Its called Course Notes. Its right under Beta testing so that they can gather reviews from audience and come up with something they want.



We used this app personally for a while and found it quite useful as we too are pursuing graduation. This app has a very clean and easy-to-use interface with right and left slider similar to Facebook's mobile application.
As soon as you open the app, you will be welcomed with a list of subjects which can be sorted in any order depending on class number, name, last updated and contain subjects varying from Biology,Anthropology,Physiology, Introduction to C,U.S History,Lethal and Ethical Event of Business,Chemistry and many more.




You can then select the subject you have interest in and a right slider will come up which will contain different chapters and presentations that they have arranged from different universities and compiled to deliver what you want at your finger tips.




No need to Google course and books. No need of making accounts on different cloud storage sites to download books. Its that simple and easy.
As soon as you select the chapter you want to study it will be downloaded in left hand slider and then you can open and study it whenever you feel like. Just a small little thing that I would suggest is that they should provide the size of the file that has to be downloaded.



I would suggest all our reader to do try this app and I'm sure you guys will find it really useful.

SuperBeam For Faster File Sharing


Connectivity in phones have been developing along with mobile phones. It started with infra-red, then came bluetooth, then NFC and now the newest is WiFi Direct. Developers have formulated a new application called the SuperBeam which provides a faster file transfer process. 


Photo Credits-Google Play Store

SuperBeam uses WiFi Direct to share any file stored on the device with another device, this is possible on a device that runs Android 4.0 or later. If your device runs an older version of Android, the application will automatically switch to hotspot mode. You can pair the devices using QR codes or NFC, you do not need to install an QR reader application because it has an inbuilt QR scanner. Another feature that SuperBeam boasts is the ability to use an existing WiFi network to connect and share files between devices.


Features:

  • Share files between devices using NFC or QR code scanning.
  • Blazing fast transfer speeds using WiFi direct.
  • Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn't support WiFi direct.
  • Can use existing WiFi network connection between devices.
  • Share single or multiple files of any type (photos, videos, zip files, APK's)
  • Works with all 3rd party file managers and photo galleries.
  • Light and dark color themes.
  • Advanced settings


WiFi direct doesn't play well with custom ROMs. Please follow these steps to switch to hotspot (tethering) mode if WiFi direct is causing you issues:
  • Open SuperBeam scanner.
  • Tap options > settings.
  • Tap Advanced settings > Preferred direct method.
  • Choose Hotspot.
  • Close SuperBeam and try sharing again.
This application is available for free on Google Play Store.

Sony Xperia Z Review

Its here!! Sony's best in a smartphone - XPERIA Z. The much awaited Sony's flagship device is here in India. The phone was initially revealed at CES 2013 where it was marketed as 'water-proof and dust-proof smartphone' with all top-notch hardware specifications. Xperia Z is priced at ₹37,990 in India.
Lets go through every aspect of this smartphone and see how much effort Sony has put into this thing.



Design and Build Quality

No doubt, the phone looks stunning. Sony has really put in a lot of effort on making this phone look different from existing ones and they have succeeded to some level. (HTC One aluminum shell casing takes away the crown). The phone is glass-cased just like iPhone 4/4S from front and back which makes the phone very fragile to drops and it's not even Gorilla Glass which is quiet a turn down.



Xperia Z being a water-proof phone, all the ports are covered with a clip-case. This is quite  annoying as one has repeatedly open and close those ports for multiple purposes like listening to songs, charging, data transfer etc.
Xperia Z is available in 3 colors : Black , White & Purple




Screen

Sony Xperia Z comes with 5.0 inch FULL HD TFT capacitive touchscreen with resolution of 1080x1920 pixels carrying a pixel density of 441 ppi. The phone is also powered with Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 which makes sure that user is never disappointed with the visual experience of the phone. Not Gorilla, but Xperia Z does come with Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass.

 

Processor And Memory

Xperia Z is powered by with 1.5 GHz Krait Qualcomm MDM9215M / APQ8064 Quad-core Processor with Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB RAM.  It comes with a built-in 16 GB internal memory which is expandable upto 64GB via Micro SD slot.




Software

Sony Xperia Z runs Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) which means you get Google Now, Project Butter and many other improvements.


Camera

Xperia Z packs in 13MP primary camera with autofocus and LED flash producing images with resolution of 4128x3096 pixels. The additional features includes face detection, image stabilization, HDR, sweep panorama. It record videos at 1080p @ 30fps with video stabilization. 
It also features a 2.2 MP secondary camera which too records video at 1080p @ 30fps.


Battery

Sony Xperia Z is juiced up by 2330 mAh non-removable battery which will keep your phone up for a day on moderate use. But if you are social-freak, it might disappoint you.

Conclusion

Overall, Sony Xperia Z is really nice smartphone for the current market. Where all other companies are launching their flagship devices at a price tag of 43-45k, Sony is giving you similar configuration at a much lesser price and great performance. 

We Like Sony Xperia Z..!!

How To Install Instagram Unofficially On Blackberry Z10 [Video]


Blackberry has become a recognized Smartphone these days. However not all notable Apps are yet available in recent Blackberry 10 OS but still people owning such smartphone crave of somehow getting those apps. Either officially or perhaps unofficially.

 Good news for the Blackberry Z10 users who are in love with famous photo sharing & editing app Instagram can now install and run safely a stable version of Instagram on their Blackberry Z10.

The official Instagram is not yet available on the Blackberry App world yet but there are some easy techniques to install it on your Blackberry Z10 as it's confirmed working stable on that Smartphone.



However, it's not too straight & simple as that in android phones just requiring an .apk file and installing on your device, but the blackberry installing procedure is somehow little different.

First of all you will require the Bar file, download here.
Then you need DDPB which allows installing from external source to your device download here.
Your computer should have Java Runtime installed before continuing the process.

Follow the video below to gather complete process of installation.



The above video is just a glimpse of Instagram running on Blackberry Z10 thanks to saadi703.

Another video which was made for installing Whatsapp below is the actual process however do not forget the bar file you will use is the one above mentioned, it's just a process which is similar to that of Whatsapp installation steps.



The app works great on Blackberry Z 10 and the installation steps is only tested for that device only. So if you are trying to get it on any other Blackberry handset with the above procedure then you may likely find yourself in some trouble.

Apple Patches Evasi0n Jailbreak In iOS 6.1.3 Update


The final version of iOS 6.1.3 is available to all Apple iOS users with bug fixes and improvements in their previous OS. Certainly, those interested in Jailbreaking their iOS devices have bad time with this update. The news came from Apple website claiming that they have finally managed to patch evasi0n which was a jailbreaking tool used in Jailbreaking any iOS 6 devices.



Accidentally if you have updated to iOS 6.1.3 and you have a A5 device such as iPhone 5 or any newer device then certainly it's a bad day for you because you won't be able to Untether it again using evasi0n. However, if you are not in to jailbreaking then it's not a big concern for you probably that's why Apple update their OS for a period of time.

So if you have an iPhone 5 and do not want to lose your Untether jailbreak, try to stay away from updating your OS to 6.1.3

In case if you have pre-A5 device there is still hope of installing a "tether jailbreak" but A5 devices will suffer in any case.
