So..umm title. Yeah that alone, I am sure pissed a lot of people. And i can already hear people commenting workarounds. But screw that. I love technology but i am not biased on any OS. Sure i use a Nexus and other android devices but also respect iOS (not iphone as a product, but iOS as an OS). Now i loved new features in android 'N' but still, there are certain things that are lacking in both OS's i would point out a few of in this post for android. NOTE : MANY FEATURES CAN/ARE ALREADY THERE IN OEM SKINS BUT THIS POST IS FOR VANILLA ANDROID 1. Fragmentation This topic alone is an issue for whole new post. And i did that too. ( Link ) basically android needs to have more control over OEMs over pushing the OS updates. 2. Camera software Android phones have great camera no doubt. But it mostly depends on hardware (shit loads of OEMs) and software optimisation. So i won't go there pointing out every OEM. Instead I'll focus on vanilla andoid. Google introduced ca...

While many (most actually) of the people are waiting for marshmallow update (blame fragmentation), Google already released preview of it's newer update. Which is not named yet (you're welcome to guess) These are the changes i noticed in the first 12 hours of using it. (Sadly i couldn't get it on my nexus 5, which pissed many users, let's just hope we get the final version. Else, hail custom ROMs) Google made getting the preview easier than before all you need to do is sign the beta program and you get the preview as an update (I won't suggest to use it as a daily driver because many apps may break and crash) [Note] This is only the first preview build. These features may change or completely disappear in later or final version of the android 'N' -Multi window, biggest and highly anticipated feature to the new version. (Thanks on behalf of all tablet users). It worked amazingly considering it was still in beta. Double tap to recent button...

You may sometimes notice that some USB cables are available for very cheap price and then some are well priced. But when you buy the cheap one thinking you've saved yourself some cash and plug your phone for charging and notice well it's hardly charging. It's a common problem with USB cables. Why is that? what's the difference? How to purchase a decent USB cable? For that you need to understand how current is passed through a wire. 1. A wire needs to be a good conductor (duh) meaning it should have minimum resistance. Resistance will cause the charge to be lost and also generate heat which will affect the life of the cable 2. The cable needs to be of lower gauge meaning it should have larger diameter. Because it can allow more current to pass through it. Gauge is indicated by number USB cables have two set of wires each for data and power. Now these cheap cables are in 28/28 configuration means which will not allow more than 500mah to pass. These are just for data ...

Google owned Android is biggest used mobile OS. It has one thing that separates it from IOS, windows, symbian etc is that it's open source, meaning the code is available for manufacturers and they can tweak the OS by giving more options, or by using different skins and use their version of android in their phones. Now because of android's openness 100s of manufacturers launch new phones with their version of android. This can now have many good thing but have many problems too. What's good? Manufacturers often give users features that vanilla android doesn't gives. These can be small tweaks like reboot option in power menu or a battery percentage indicator in status bar or big features like multi window or theme support. Some manufacturers give users ability to create folders, hide apps, reorder apps in their stock launcher, all of which stock android doesn't support Many developers used open source nature of android and created their versions or ROMS of a...

After many small tweaks youtube is onto something really big. A video posted by an Google+ user on YouTube shows the new interface The thumbnails are a lot bigger and now take up to whole width of screen. Also each video is playable on the list page without opening a separate page for individual video. There are also some minor tweaks in the buttons etc. Check out the video below. This would be a major change to the interface which may take some time to rollout. Do you like the new interface? Leave your comments below
