New HTC Android Phones Tweaked to Evade Apple Patents


Sometimes before HTC caught offender to violate the two Apple patents then HTC said it will be change its phone for the violation. Now let’s see how can it would be concern for the users.

The actual deal was how iPhone provide you the record of probable commands like when you are taping the phone number, e-mail, anyone’s physical location or others data. For example, if you tap on a phone number in a file then the iPhone allows you to call the number; send a message and either attaches the number in your contact list or copy the number to the clipboard. HTC’s Android phones contain same functions which was enough reason for violation of the patent, according to U.S. International Trade Commission’s rule.

According to The Verge, the US model of HTC’s new phones haven’t supposed “data tapping” feature. In its place of when you tap on a proper amount of data then phone instantly comes into the action it means when you tap on a phone number then the phone will skip to the dialer. A separate options menu allows users to select what comes about by default if they tap on a limited amount of data.

A number of users may b like this change, for example when you tap an email add then there is a possibility that you attempt to write that address however an instant act might be a irritation for unintended tapping.  And as alternate actions are covered in a separate menu so users may not feel any trouble with them.

The Verge also reported in this week, The HTC one X and Evo 4G LTE are presently in custody at US Customs until the they observe the phones for patent violation. All I have only wish that those phones will reach user’s hands very shortly. All the best to HTC.

If you have an Android phone and you are using Twitter on it then you have lots of options for your Twitter clients. So it is certainly possible that you might use 3 apps of them.

After mobile revolution TweetDeck was transferred to iPhone. Later the app came in the Google Play Store and after striking there it is hitting the android Market. Formerly this app came in then the fame of the authorized Twitter app vanished its position in the Android Ecosystem. At the time only few wanted to use the authorized Twitter app because this TweetDeck presented a number of amazing features like to creation of new columns and how to manage the notification’s choices for every of these columns. As a result, it might be possible t he expansion of the official Twitter app was covered up because Twitter purchased TweetDeck soon.

At the moment authorized Twitter app has backed with a little of bug fixes which were in fact considered as a stupid bugs. Actually these bugs specially influenced the aged version of Android called Éclair. This update has solved the bug which was reason for profile images not to load on Éclair devices, also solved for main tweets were showing out of order in the Find and Discovery views and is also solved the reason for Sync setting.

Google+ Updated on IOS with new UI, Android on Its Way


Let’s think over it, iOS users have been hold back on Google+ since the launch. First they didn’t get an app, and when they got, it wasn't accurately the mainly functional in the App Store. Google did, however, attach to Android by updating and improving the application often and often adding features and improving on the app. They’ve even renovated the desktop site a few times still without touching the iOS app. Now, the iOS has been the 1st to get this G+ update.

Google has already announced it its blog that they are thinking to create its G+ mobile experience much easier and more nice looking then before. The iOS app has got a fully renovate UI, and it comes in very smooth black interface though its lighter then we are using. The photos have already in big size then before and now we can use fewer abstract colors means overall this is really a great mobile app which is professionally designed. See what Google team said about the upgrading of this mobile app;

 "To be clear, we’re not interested in a mobile or social experience that’s just smaller. We’re embracing the sensor-rich smartphone (with its touchable screen and high-density display), and transforming Google+ into something more intimate, and more expressive. Today’s new iPhone app is an important step in this direction—toward a simpler, more beautiful Google."

On the peak of a marvelous new UI, Google has also at last added the capability to join a Hangout via Messenger to the mobile G+ app for iOS. This feature was missing by iPhone users since a long time and certainly t hey will welcome it. The G+ team also announced this Android App will be also updated so that it can be equivalent to the new mobile UI.
