Samsung Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6 head to head war on hot boiling water!

Samsung Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 probably are this year's best flagship smartphones from two tech giants, Samsung and Apple inc. These two devices are packed with the best and top hardware... Best materials are used to build these phones. Apple inc. used uni-body metal to build iPhone 6 and tech giant Samsung has used Aircraft level materials to build their flagship, The Galaxy S6.... It's no doubt that iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 are the two top smartphones right now. But, this year these two devices are not water resistance like previous year's flagships. Last year Samsung Galaxy S5 was  IP67 certified which means it can resist water for 15 minutes under 5m water. But these year Samsung has changed their mind and gone with the plan not to make the S6 IP67 certified though they used aircraft level material to build their S6. Apple inc. has followed their previous blueprint by not making the iPhone 6 water resistant this year also.

So we did a test to see how they perform and how long they last under water. And it's hot boiling water!!! So let's start this mad S6 and iPhone 6 boiling test! :D

New Launcher is coming preinstalled with Android M.

Google has announced the next Android version, "The Android M"
on Google I/O last week and also released a developer preview image of Android M.
The Android M is going to be a polishing version of Android Lollipop. But wait! Upon installing the developer preview of the Android M, you will see a difference in the app drawer. Google has gone with a vertical app drawer instead of it's regular horizontal app drawer. Now you have to scroll vertically to browse your apps.
Unlike the "Google Now" launcher, the "Google Now" feature have to be activated through settings on Android M. You will no longer find the Google Now at the left of your home screen.
The app drawer now arranges the apps in alphabetic order. However you can't jump according to the alphabets. You have to scroll downward to find your desired app. Google has also add a search bar and a recent app bar at the top of the launcher. On Android M latest alpps will show up according to your use which is quite handy.

So lets wait for the full version of Android M and see if Google change the  current launcher or not....
If you want to have a taste of Android M then you can have it by flashing your Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 8.
If you want a tutorial on how to flash Nexus 5, 6 and 9 then do let us know via comments.....

Lg watch Urbane will be available soon on Google Store.

On a press release LG has officially announced that their new flagship watch which is mostly know as "Watch Urbane" will be available on Google Store for 13 countries by the end of this month.


According to the source the 13 countries may be:

1. Australia
2. Canada
3. France
4. Germany
5. Hong Kong
6. India
7. Ireland
8. Italy
9. Japan
10. Korea
11. Spain
12. The United Kingdom
13. The United States

LG also said that the price will be announced when it is available for sell on Google Store. But we are hoping that it will get a tag price of $350 as its predecessor, the G Watch R was tagged at $300. But the steel and rose gold finishes might be differently priced.

When it come to hardware and the design, the LG Watch Urbane and the LG Watch R seems almost similar though LG has claimed that they have reduced the size of the circular bezel. If we keep aside the size of the circular bezel, case and stripe materials, everything else are the same. The hardware used are: Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.3" P-OLED display, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, and a 410mAh battery which were used on its predecessor, the G Watch R also.

Though the hardware are same with the LG Watch R, the Watch urbane will come with 2 new features: LG Call & LG Pulse. The LG call will show you your favorite contacts and the most recent calls and you can directly call from your watch. Quite handy! Isn't it? LG Pulse will measure your heart rate/pulse every second. Hopefully the LG Watch Urbane will come with Android Lollipop 5.1 out of the box....

Here is the official trailer by LG:

Many of the windows and MAC users want to play the great android games like Asphalt 8, Dead trigger, Modern combat on their windows pc, tablet or MAC. Unfortunately there were not even a good emulator since the Droid4X released. I know many of you still are not aware of this emulator and heard about it but believe me its the best emulator till now when it comes to gaming performance!

Here is how to enable, configure and use guest mode on LG devices.

We are here today to show you how to enable, configure and use guest mode found in most of the LG's Android based devices. However it is not LG's exclusive feature as android has introduced much before. So let's start. To start first you need to know what is Guest Mode in LG's smartphone.
What is Guest Mode on LG's android smartphones:
Guest mode is nothing but a different account/environment for a guest user. Just like the windows guest mode it's used for creating a different environment. However it will not create a separate account on LG's smartphone for guest. It will only create a separate environment with limited access or permission to applications. It means that the guest can only access to selected applications.
It's really a handy feature to keep your personal informations safe. But guest user can still access to data of the app to which you give them permission to access.
Supported devices:
You have to have a guest mode supported LG device to use guest mode as there is not specific app to enable guest mode. The guest mode was first introduced on LG G2 by LG. LG Realm also came with the feature. As LG Realm was able to handle guest mode, there is a huge chance that other LG devices will also come with guest mode.
Here is a list of supported devices:

1. LG G2
2. LG G3
3. LG Flex
4. LG Flex 2
5. LG Realm

How to enable Guest Mode:

If you have a supported LG device and you want to enable guest mode then first go to "Settings". Then tap on the "Personal" menu. Find "Guest mode" and tap on that. You will see an On/Off toggle at the top right corner of the "Guest Mode". Then simply turn that on.

Here is the full path at a glance:

Go to Settings > Personal > Guest Mode > On/Off toggle (at the top right corner).

After truing it on a pop up window saying to configure screen pattern lock will come up. Simply configure a new pattern lock as the guest mode will not be activated without a pattern lock. To configure Pattern lock tap on Set pattern and set your desired pattern which will be used by the guest users.
How to configure Guest Mode:
So now you have to set the apps which will be accessible from guest mode. Note that, guest mode does not create a separate account. So, guest can access your applications data which are given permission for access.
To set the apps simply tap on the set apps button and find the edit apps at the top right corner. Now tap on that and choose the apps. Now tap on exit.
Full path at  a glance. 
First go to Set apps in the settings > Edit apps > Choose your apps > Ok > Exit.
How to use Guest Mode:
So now to enter the guest mode in LG's android Smartphone simply open the screen lock with the pattern which you setup for the guest mode. If you open the screen lock using that screen lock pattern (set up before for guest mode) then you will only see the selected apps which you gave permission. 
If you provide your usual pattern then you will be able to go back to your administrative mode....
