BBM now available for Android 2.3 Gingerbred

BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is now available for Android smartphones which are running on Gingerbread, True their promise, BlackBerry has just made its messaging, and now voice call, app available to more Android users.

However, from the time of release until now, BBM for Android has been available only on Android 4.0+ devices and with Android Gingerbread 2.3 still accounting for 20% of Android users, a lot of people were left without access to BBM. BlackBeery had stated that they were working hard to bring BBM for Gingerbread users and they have lived up to their word.

For BlackBerry it is a smart move to try and expand its user base on Android by offering the BBM app to more Android users. BBM app for Android and iOS saw over 20 million new users within the first week of its launch.

Some of the features that the users of Android 2.3 Gingerbread will not be able to use includes – BBM’s Voice Call, Live location tracking on Map and BBM Channels. There is no word on whether these features will be addressed in the coming version or not, but we sure do hope they will instate the features.

Download: BBM on Google Play Store

How to Download Paid Android Games & Applications For Free

This post is exclusively for Android users who are addicted to Games and Applications. In this post i am going to explain 3 different ways on how you can get Paid Android Games and Applications for free. Here is the look at these ways:

1. File sharing Websites: - The best way to download Android games and applications for free is through file sharing websites. The files to be downloaded on those websites were done by Android users who download paid applications and upload them in file sharing websites. The best popular file sharing websites are:

   Out of all the File Sharing Websites, I recommend 4shared; simply it is the best and most popular with loads of cool Applications and Games.

Steps to Download Paid Applications from Those Websites
a. Just log on to any of the above listed websites
b. Type the application name you want to download for free in their search bar and
c. Add the extension of “.apk”, for example if you want to download ADW Launcher EX (A paid app in Google play Store), type Adw launcher ex.apk and press enter. The results will then be viewed, from the results click the latest uploaded file and just download it. Once the .apk file is downloaded, transfer it to your phone via USB cable and install it in your phone.

Note: I recommend you must scan downloaded apps with this method with antivirus. You can also download 4shared application from the market instead of searching applications in the web; you can use it directly to download any files.

2. BlackMart Alpha App: - BlackMart Alpha is an Android application itself, used for downloading paid applications for free. You need to search for BlackMart Alpha in the above mentioned file sharing sites, Search results will appear, Locate and Download this application, Transfer and install it on your Smart phone. After installation, open the BlackMart Alpha application, it has the same design like that of the Google Play Market App on your Smart phone. A list of applications will appear in it. You can also use the search option to search and download a paid application for Free with BlackMart Alpha.
The price of the specified or searched application will strike out. Click on download and install it directly to your Smart phone for free.

Note: Don’t update any application you downloaded from BlackMart Alpha as there are chances that it might corrupt that application.

3. Paying for Application in Google Play Market: - The last tip which is most reliable and the best way to download the paid applications are by paying for an application in the Google Play market. To use this option you should have a good file explorer application like ASTRO File Manager or ES File Explorer with a good/fast internet connection.

Install ES File Explorer or ASTRO File Manager If you don't have it yet on your Phone, Then 
Go to Google Play market and purchase any application.
Within 15 minutes of the trial period you can get the full refund if you cancel the order.
The application gets downloaded to your Smart phone.
Open ES file explorer, Click on Options >> Manager >> App Manager.

Go to list of installed applications and click on the application you just purchased and click on the backup. The application backup will be made in the backup folder of your SD card.
Once the backup is made, cancel the order from the Google Play Store and install it from the backup folder again. Your money will be refunded after you cancel the order.
So these are the Surest Way I have been using to download any Paid Applications for free.

Enjoy!

Hope this information helps?

A Free smartphone app to track weight loss


Researchers have developed a smartphone app as the sole method for monitoring weight loss. 
 The My Meal Mate app allows users to monitor their food intake and exercise, set a weight loss target and sends a weekly update on progress via text message. 
 The smartphone app was used on average every other day in the trial, whilst the average use of the website and paper diary was about once a week. 
 As a result, over the 6 months of the study those using the app lost on average 4.6kg (10lbs), compared with the 2.9kg (6.5lbs) and 1.3kg (3lbs) lost by the paper-based and online diary users, respectively. 
 The Department of Health has calculated the direct costs of obesity on the NHS to be 5.1 billion pounds a year and an estimated 40,000 people die annually from conditions attributable to being overweight or obese. 
"Smartphone technology could be harnessed to promote health; generally people don't know how many calories they are eating daily.My Meal Mate really helped people monitor their food intake and resulted in an important amount of weight loss," professor Janet Cade, from the School of Food Science and Nutrition, who lead the project, said. 
 "The labelling on food packaging can help people to identify sensible food choices but it doesn't enable them to understand the cumulative effects of the foods they eat. Keeping a food diary allows us to see where we might be eating too much and the app has proved to be the most effective tracking method by far," Professor Cade added. 
 Unlike other currently available smartphone apps that are aimed at helping people monitor food intake and lose weight, My Meal Mate is the first free app to contain a large UK-based food database. 
 This allows users to map their eating habits easily to the products they consume. 
It is also the first such app to be hosted for download on the NHS Choices website. 
The findings have been published in the Journal of Internet Medical Research.

Facebook Messenger app update brings Chat Heads support

Facebook Home is out today, and the standalone Messenger app update is  here, and it brings Chat Heads support to most Android devices, regardless of whether or not you have Home installed. That means that when you’re using other apps or on the home screen, Messenger messages will pop up with the Chat Head icon of the person messaging you, allowing you to quickly jump into a conversation without leaving your current app.

 You can also dismiss the conversation by swiping down from a Chat Heads message. I’ve been testing the feature and it works well out of the gate, displaying multiple incoming conversations and letting you switch between them, over top of any other Android apps you may be using. The feature is a killer one, no doubt, and makes Messenger a lot more of a threat to other messaging apps out there, by placing your messages where they’re actually useful to you.
 It’s a little like having Growl notifications on your Android device, but more useful since it actually doesn’t require you to switch apps to engage with the ongoing conversations. The only downside I can see is that if you get a lot of FB messages, you may feel a tad overwhelmed while trying to keep up, and it’s definitely a visual and auditory distraction. Luckily, you can disable Chat Heads in Messenger at any time from the app’s Settings menu.

Facebook Home for Android Announced , Available April 12

Facebook today announced its brand new Android Launcher called Facebook Home which will serve as a gateway to the social network’s services. The launcher is meant to replace the default skin on your Android device and hooks in with Facebook centric services. Predictably, the focus here is on sharing and keeping a track of whatever your friends are up to.

 While the application itself will be receiving regular feature updates every month, Facebook has focussed on a few areas in the initial reveal. Cover Feed is a lockscreen replacement that pulls in data from Facebook and displays it directly on the lockscreen. It lets you flip through stories and double tap to like. The system should be handy to quickly browse through information while standing in a queue or similar.

 Chat heads is an interesting feature wherein users can continue conversations with friends even using other applications. The chat head float above whatever you are working on and can be moved around. This component of the launcher ties in with both Facebook messenger and the SMS application on the device.

 Facebook Home will launch on Google Play on April 12 for a select number of smartphones, initially - the Samsung Galaxy S4, S III and Note II and the HTC One and One X+. It appears to act as any launcher out there. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the team behind Facebook Home worked hard to make it feel better than just any other app, which means we can expect Home to work seamlessly or like a native app.

Here's Facebook Home in action -

Evernote updated v5.0 for Android, adds photo and search features

Evernote released a new version for Android today, bringing new photo and search features and a refreshed design to the popular note-taking app. Many of the features already exist in the iOS app, which was updated in November , but at least one is new to the company's mobile products. 
 The update, which also includes useful new home screen widgets, went live in the Google Play store this morning. It comes on the heels of Google's release of the Keep note-taking service last week, a product that duplicates some Evernote features and that will integrate with Google Drive. 
 But about that Android update: A multishot feature lets users snap multiple photos of a moment, and save them to Evernote without ever leaving the in-app camera. Evernote is also bringing its " page camera " over from iOS, whichuses the smartphone's camera to turn Evernote into a pocket scanner. The page camera finds the edges of scanned pages, removes any shadows and improves the contrast, Evernote says. 
 Android is the first mobile platform to get access to shortcuts, a helpful feature introduced recently in Evernote's Mac app. Frequently accessed notes and notebooks can be added to the app's left panel, saving users from having todig through through their notebooks. 
 The company also introduced new features that take advantage of Evernote's partnership with the hip notebook maker Moleskine , which allow easier digitization of paper notebook pages into digital copies. 
Users who pay for Evernote's premium service are also getting a document search feature that will index keywords in Microsoft Office, iWork and Open Office documents. Now any words found inside those documents will pop up when queried, just as Evernote already now searches through PDFs for keywords. 
 I prefer the look and feel of Evernote's new Android version to the iOS version, where the file-folders design metaphor often confuses me. The Android app's simple sliding panel mimics the feel of Evernote's excellent Mac app,where creating and searching notes is a breeze.With this latest redesign, Evernote may have created its best mobile experience to date.

Available free on Google play

Search Song Detail Easily with Sound Hound App

Like other apps in the music recognize genre, SoundHound is designed to automatically identify the song that you play with the use of an online database. You can use SoundHound to recognize songs from CD's  downloaded tunes, and music on the radio, for instance. In addition to giving you the name of the tune and the artist, SoundHound will provide you with the name of the album and the lyrics to the song.
  Shazam may be the face of music search and recognition apps, but it's not the only player in the game. SoundHound,  app available in both free and premium versions, aims to give it a run for its money by letting users discover content by matching a played song—or a sung or hummed tune!—against a deep database. It not only helps you identify an unlimited number of songs, but integrates music related tweets, lyrics, and YouTube clips as well. Overall, it's not quite Shazam, but a decent app nonetheless.

Available free on Google Play and iTunes store

No Smoking Day: Charity Launches 'Hijacking' App to hijack cigarette

No Smoking Day: Charity Launches 'Hijacking' App As a survey shows one in 10 smokers are"desperate" to give up, an app is unveiled that virtually transforms cigarette packs.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has pledged to hijack cigarette packs from today - No Smoking Day - by virtually transforming them in smokers' hands into items they could afford if they quit.
 The charity is encouraging smokers to"swap fags for swag" by thinking about how much money they could save if they quit.

 Someone who smokes 20 cigarettes a daycould save £7 a day, £49 a week, £210 a month and £2,555 a year if they kicked the habit, the BHF said.
 The charity has developed a new smartphone app, Blippar, which virtually transforms a cigarette pack into a puff of smoke, before revealing items they could afford with a week, month, or year's worth of smoking savings.
 This year's BHF No Smoking Day campaign
 Betty McBride, director of policy and communications at the BHF, said: "The tobacco giants are notoriously protective about their slick cigarette packaging - here's a bit of slick that does some good for once.
 "We need to up our game if we are going to help people beat their addiction to tobacco by finding new ways to reach out to them."
 The new app comes on BHF's 30th annual No Smoking Day . A survey conducted for the 2013 campaign found that 11% of smokers are desperate to kick the habit.
 And 82% of 2,000 UK smokers surveyed had tried and failed to quit.
 Around one in five people smoke, according to the charity, and the latest data from the World Health Organisation shows that smoking prevalence in Europe is higher than the rest of the world.
 A separate poll, conducted on 2,000 ex and current smokers by Pru Health, found that the average smoker spends 11% of income on tobacco.

RootMetrics App, tests all cellular network's Strength and speed in your neighborhood

The RootMetrics app shows mobile users the strengths and weaknesses of the cellular networks in their neighborhoods.
RootMetrics, an independent group that measures mobile performance, has an app that lets users test the strengths of their cellular networks' call signals and data-transfer speeds in their neighborhoods.
 "It's hard to tell signal and data speeds on a carrier's map. The RootMetrics app lets users see how their specific network works down to the street level," said Julie Dey, vice president of marketing at RootMetrics.  

 Download free for iOS and Android


When users open the app, they're greeted with menu options: Test, Map and Report.
 The most interactive feature of the app is the virtual map. App users can search for mobile-performance information by street, city and ZIP code. Honeycomb shapes layered over a map indicate signal and data strength from green (strongest) to dark gray (weakest).
 Each shaded area can be opened to show the average signal and data speed of the user's carrier. It also compares other carriers in that neighborhood.
 Areas without a shaded honeycomb indicate that RootMetrics has not tested that part of a neighborhood.
 That's where the crowd source-testing part of the app comes in handy.
 Users can select the test tab to begin the evaluation of either a call signal or a combination of signal and data speed. The app lets mobile-device owners choose their carrier before beginning the test.
 A moving circle along a bar indicates the app is testing the networks in the area. It labels signal strength as good, better or poor.
 Data reports show the upload and download speeds. These user signal-and-data tests are sent to RootMetrics to help supplement the reports generated by developers.
 Users can check their signal and data speeds on the RootMetrics app, and then compare them to the performance of other carriers in the neighborhood.
