With Android 4.2 Google has not only brought some great new features on the Nexus devices, but unfortunately a few unpleasant bugs: In addition to a poorer battery life is above all a noticeable lag on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 is unstoppable. To fix lag problem on galaxy nexus, there are two approaches from the community.
When Google introduced less than a month before the new Nexus device and Android 4.2, the second jelly bean iteration initially looked very good: no fundamental, but many small changes made to feel like the sweet delicacy. The disillusionment came with the update for many - not just Android 4.2 looks like pretty rushed , and it did for many owners of Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus to be a nasty lag. On my Galaxy Nexus, makes this especially in a long delay in the opening seconds of Google Now noticeable. The problems seem to be, but fortunately not too deeply rooted in the system, such as to suggest two simple solutions.
Background sync in Google Now off
Google Now is a beautiful newsreader which unfortunately synchronized constantly in the background, even when the app is not actually used - but the problem can be solved easily:
Open the App Drawer
Google launches Currents
Go into the Settings
Removed "enable synchronization in the background" on the hook
The change should be noticeable even without restarting the device.
Clear cache
The OTA update of Android 4.2 seems to be a few problems with the old cache data have to - the deletion of this data can also fix the lag. The procedure differs here, depending on whether one uses the original recovery or a custom variant as the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Turns off the power
Starting with volume up and down and power at the same time the device
Maneuver with the volume button to recovery and select with the power button
Stock Recovery
When lying on his back Android is seen with the red warning triangle on the belly: press volume up and power button
Select Clear Cache
ClockworkMod Recovery
Navigate to Wipe cache partition
Confirm the deletion
Reboot System
The combination of the two methods is the lag on my Galaxy Nexus but not completely eliminated, but at least it was significantly reduced. Whether these practices as well as the poorer battery life is improved, which has kept up with Android 4.2 on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus7 collection and is well known, the Nexus 4 plagues, I can not yet judge. Here a couple of days and cycles will be needed to make a judgment can.
Could you eliminate the lag by one or both of these methods, or you have no delay in the operation found? And the battery life of your equipment has improved? Divides your observations and advice in the comments with us.

Presumably cavort on your smartphone a lot of shots that have emerged over time. To these images to create that special place, we can conjure up even once as a background to our homescreen.
FX Live Wallpaper Review
Yet it is very boring, and from this to just be replaced when we just feel like it. An alternative would be about a collage. And if that is still animated and then autonomously always new compilations conjures with us on the screen, then that's a real eye-catcher, right?
Options without end
That is what makes Photo FX Live Wallpaper. The free app comes with a lot of features and options. In no time, a lively collage is conjured, which perpetuates the best shots on the screen. Appearance, transitions and animations can be fully controlled by the user. However, if you look at the menu, the app icon, which is pretty clueless sit behind his smartphone. The settings are in fact made on the options for the home screen background.
The extensive library of effects and transitions enjoys, so the announcement of the manufacturer, will soon have some extensions, so will continue to be your every wish.

After the update, there has often been a problem that updates to apps from the Play Store with more that could be installed. The reason for this problem is not yet known, it is a solution nonetheless. We tell you how.
Among many other users, the editors of Droid-Life had the problem that on their Nexus 7-Tablets for the OTA update to Android 4.2 No apps could be updated more about the Google Play Store. The app updates were always aborted with an error message. Trying to stopping the Play Store to force and to delete the data, unfortunately, did not help.
And what does an editor of an Android side, even if he encounters a problem and find a solution? Exactly, he wrote an article about it and asks readers for advice, as heard even at Droid-Life, only 30 seconds after the release trickled already the first few notes with solutions.
And what happens now? To solve the problem, you have to remove your Google account from the device - sync again before so fast all the data - and then re-start the unit. Next, the Google account will be re-established. After a few minutes it will take the means of Claim, the problem should be finally resolved.
Whether the problem is only the Nexus 7 after the Android 4.2 update is, or even the Galaxy Nexus is affected is not yet known - this we will find out only when the update is distributed in this country OTA. The solution, however, should be universal.

Indisputably one of the most interesting features of the Galaxy Note 2, the multi-window feature. Through this allows two applications simultaneously open on the screen and use - no tedious back and forth. A future update will make this future possible on the Galaxy S3.
Multitasking or not, working with multiple programs at the same time was a long time on a small smartphone ordeal. Besides the annoying program change often a already tight and quickly overflowed full memory led to reload the programs and thereby frustrated. With the Galaxy Note 2 but grew not only the memory, but conveniently, also the screen, which Samsung allowed the implementation of innovative multi-window features. Here, the screen area of the device is broken into two programs can be run in parallel side by side to look, for example, a video and, simultaneously, to take notes. Here's our hands-on picture for the multi-window function on the Grade 2:
Galaxy S3 Multi Window Function
This feature was previously the models 2 and Galaxy Note Galaxy Note 01.10 reserved, so there is but for a Hands-On from Japan of a device edition now meantime screenshots, indicating that the Galaxy S3 is to get this working. The screen of the Galaxy S3 is definitely smaller than 4.8 inches of the Grade 2, but should provide enough space, at least temporarily accommodate two apps simultaneously. A possible disadvantage is that the display of the Galaxy S3 does not have the second digitizer has, which is for the precise input by means of an S-Pen necessary. This could allow the operation to be a bit fiddly.
The Galaxy S3 multi-window feature to later this winter as part of an update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to find his way, the Galaxy S3 - stating at least the side of an Israeli telephone company from which the screenshots are from.
Can you imagine to use this feature on the Galaxy S3? Or her a note has 2 and even there you can not do much with it? Write your experience in the comments.

With root privileges you can open one up many new possibilities in dealing with an Android smartphone - of course you can flash custom ROMs and kernels, but also complete system backup (nandroid) create, delete system apps, and much more. But rooten course involves some risks.
Read First
Before you begin, read our instructions completely and follow the instructions so carefully as possible.

Who Custom firmwares and / or reflashing ROMs or root his device, will void his warranty. if you want the warrnty back you can do it by install the stock rom or official firmware
After rooting the you want to install a custom ROM, the bootloader must be unlocked. and to make sure just in case if something happens you must make a backup. We have, as a guide to the appropriate point
Important
After you have read the statement above, we can finally begin. Since we assume that everyone wants to save on the unlock bootlader process on galaxy nexus smartphone, you must root your galaxy nexus first because to take backup you need to have a root acces, beacuse unlcok bootloader will remove all your data. After unlocking the bootloader, the device must be unfortunately be rooted again. Who does not wish to back up first can skip the first root process. but if you want only to root your device you just need to do the root step. you not need to do the unlock bootloader step.
How to Root Galaxy Nexus
First we need the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, a program for the PC, with which we can perform the root process and a variety of other actions in a simple manner. The latest version of the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit can be found respectively in the official thread at XDA-Developers here.
download the file then install on your computer and then runs the program.how to root galaxy nexus
The following selection screen you must select the proper software version of your phone. In Europe Yakju variant is represented - the exact build number can be found under Settings ⇒ Over the phone.
Then acticate the usb debugging in the settings, by Settings ⇒ developer options equal to activate USB debugging yet.
Then, we need to install the drivers for your device that will be connected to the PC. It simply chooce the number 1.galaxy nexus toolkit menu

During the root process, the Galaxy Nexus starts multiple times - in time you should leave it alone until the GN toolkit tells you that the process is complete.galaxy nexus toolkit root complete
Thus the first step would already be done.
Backup
At this point you have the option to create a backup.
Selected for the number 2, your smartphone connects to the PC and answer the question with yes. The next question you can choose the second option and then wait until the backup was made and copied to the PC. Optionally, you also have the option of the app Titanium Backup to use - important though is that you then copy the backup archive on either the PC or stored in the cloud (Dropbox or Google Drive).
Now the unlock bootloader process, the Galaxy Nexus rooted again and a custom recovery installed. There are two possibilities:
Either you perform each step (3 to 7) individually - you have your smartphone for each start in fastboot mode - or you can choose the 8 whereby the said points are automatically executed in succession. Since it is also the second option can not just sit back and comfortably sit and watch, here are the steps briefly described.
Unlock Bootloder
To unlock bootloder on your galaxy nexus first select the number 3 and press Enter.
Since the bootloader to be unlocked, the next one is the option of your choice.
The Galaxy Nexus in fastboot mode start.
Warning: The next step is the bootloader unlocked and erase all the data on your phone (!). This is the last chance to make a backup.
Once you typing yes and pressing Enter, the process begins. This may take several minutes.
During the process you will be asked on the Galaxy Nexus, if you really want to unlock the bootloader. Selects yes with the volume rocker and confirmed with power.
After unlock bootloader then root your phone again because after unlock your root acces is lose
read above.

Before a custom recovery is flashed, the old Google's own recovery need to be renamed.
Launches the Galaxy Nexus in fastboot mode.
Give the 5 is in the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.
Confirmed with yes and wait a while until the process is complete.
Back in the main menu of the toolkit, then choose 6 to install a custom recovery.
You have the choice between the ClockworkMod Recovery Touch and the TWRP Touch Recovery. This is a matter of taste - I personally prefer the popular ClockworkMod.
When did you decide it for recovery, you choose the appropriate number and wait until the process is completed.
Done - now you have succesfully root galaxy nexus and have been finished to prepare for install custom rom. next time i will show come custom rom for this smartphone. so stay update with this blog

HTC has again a new Android smartphone on offer. The HTC One SV is an LTE smartphone. However, this is not the HTC One XL compete, rather it is a middle-class smartphone for users who want to have absolutely LTE connectivity. For the technical specifications of the HTC One SV not not necessarily high-end .
The HTC One SV is the latest LTE smartphone of the Taiwanese. However, this smartphone is only intended for the Asian market. Thus, at least until now, the state of knowledge. If and when the HTC One SV will be released in Europe, which is not yet fixed. But why Smartphone the name HTC One SV bear is unusual due to the fact there is nothing in common with the HTC One W has.
And now to the specifications of the HTC One SV . Inside tinkers a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.2 GHz dual-core processor supported by 1GB of RAM.

In my area, parking is not just large enough that you will not find here his car, which looks but in large cities and in countries like the United States is somewhat different. Parked his car so you inevitably a little further away from the business, then just could forgetful people quickly forget the exact location and then have to search. For some time there with the ability to save apps to the exact location of the car, but that's with less detailed map areas not usually that simple. With the Park Me Right can be a bit easier and more convenient, especially if you ever have no idea where is the car, because here you will find your vehicle via augmented reality again.
In addition to storing and retrieving the location of your vehicle, you can also share your location next to friends. This is also shown again in this awesome video, which I have looked several times for whatever reason.
Park Me Right, there are free on Google Play store , a lot of fun. ( via )

As of now, the latest model variant of the Nexus 7 is available. This is the Nexus 7 with 32GB memory. In Google Play store the Android tablet for EUR 249.00 to have. But not just because it is possible to buy the Nexus 7 for the price. Also at Media Markt to buy the newest Nexus 7, but it is not immediately available there.
The Nexus 7 is indeed known to be manufactured by ASUS for Google. The Nexus 7 now available you get 32GB for EUR 249.00. This price you have until recently must lie down for the Nexus 7 with 16GB. These costs will now only EUR 199,00. And Google will also pay all users who have only recently purchased the tablet yet for the more expensive the price difference back .
To the nexus 7 specifications I probably do not say much. As the name suggests Nexus 7, a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels (216ppi) is installed, plus a Tegra 3 quad-core processor (+12 GPU cores), 1GB RAM, a 1.2 MP front camera, and a battery with 4.325mAh. Of course, even NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.1 1 a / b / g / n on board. On the Nexus 7 runs Android 4.1, Android 4.2 will be coming soon.
NEXUS 7 32GB AVAILABLE NOW
And also for the manufacturer ASUS, the Nexus 7 is a complete success. As now shown by the quarterly results of the company, are now 1 million per month Nexus 7 sold. ASUS has also partnered with Google so paid. Let's see how the Nexus 7 is beating with his "big brother" Nexus 10th
The guys from CyanogenMod have again a nice little goodie for you. Now available in 10 CyanogenMod nightly builds is a dedicated file manager is used. And this has, not surprisingly, some of the root functions and also, three different access modes. There is no such a file manager, it is not in the pure Android.
After the CyanogenMod Enwickler had inegriert short before its own update system in the latest version CM10, now comes the next blow. Now they have built a very good file manager successful in the CyanogenMod 10 Here, the developers probably did not need to catch up to the original firmware.
The new file manager comes in chic, but holo-effect coat purist design of Android so. As seen in the screenshot, all the important things a file manager have been integrated. For the guys from CyanogenMod but we should not expect anything else. Maybe Google sees really close and we see in the next version of Android also a file manager?
CYANOGENMOD FILE MANAGER 10
Sort of like a file manager should really come as standard of any operating system. The developers of Android, it may look - until now - not so. However, shows the integration of such into the CyanogenMod 10, that it probably is a great need for such a system-relevant app. So Google, let's go!
