6 Best Android Applications for Couples

LOVE! This is what we’ll be talking about today. It’s a tech site but there’s no harm in giving some space to Lovers out there. Nobody can disagree that every person in this whole universe falls for someone once in his/her life. We wish to spend our whole life with that person keeping him/her in our arms and giving a warm hug, a little cute kiss on lips and whispering slowly that you love him/her so much. But of course we can’t stay together the entire day. We got a lot of other things to do.

So while you are out there at office or somewhere else away from your partner, what can you do to bring a smile on the face of your love? Of course there are a lot of things you can do like you can send gifts, roses etc. In many cases, some couples wish to hug each other but they can’t because they are far away from each other. Many times we wish to dedicate a special quote or poem to our lover but we can’t due to the lack of any means of finding the best quote and of dedicating it. There are a lot other things we wish to do, but we can’t due to some reasons.Heart Android

In this quick tutorial I’ll show you how to move mails to Primary tab from other tabs in new Gmail.

Lets say you checked the Promotional tab. Now Promotional tab filters and keeps all the promotional emails in it. It saves your inbox to be flooded with promotional offers from , Flipkart and other shopping portals. What if you find a good deal here. You may want it in Primary tab so that you won’t forget to recheck it. But unlike labels (where you could move mails from one label to other), tabs do not behave the same way. You won’t really see an option of moving the mails to Primary Tab (or any other tab), well, not directly. Keep calm! I got the trick to do it.

Move mails to Primary Tab in new Gmail:

The trick here is to put a star to the desired mail which you want to be displayed in Primary tab. Usually, it is enabled by default but it’s better to ensure it.

Log in to your Gmail account. In the inbox, click on the plus (+) sign besides the tab headers.

How To Get Rid Of Annoying Updates From Close Friends On Facebook

Facebook TipsAnnoying and unnecessary updates from your friend(s) are flooding your Facebook feed? Facebook is full of naive people who share almost everything irrespective of how stupid it is. You might have some friends who behave like idiots on Facebook by sharing ridiculously stupid things such as the photo of a hungry kid that says one like equals to one dollar or those “divine” photos where one has to like before 3 seconds. Some friends are so politically frustrated that they spend almost all day abusing the government or political parties with ridiculous logic. Of course the Facebook gamers (farmers, chefs, mafia kingpins, detectives etc) top the chart by asking a cow or garlic for their game progress. Imagine the horror if these kind of updates flood your smartphone if you use Facebook Home.

I too have some “share happy” friends who share almost everything within a timespan of 5-10 minutes. Even though the shared stuff is not one of the above mentioned idiotic stuff, it is frustrating to see the whole Facebook news feed to be filled by the updates from the same guy. While the best way to get rid of such annoying updates on Facebook is to hide the updates from them.

But wait a sec! Are they not your close friends? You do want to get some (important) updates from them to know what they are doing or if there is something really important news from their side. Hiding them would not serve the purpose as it goes against the principal of Facebook and that is to socially connect with friends.

So if you want to get rid of the annoying and unnecessary updates from your friend but do want to receive the important announcements from them, here is a little trick that could help you.

How to get only important updates from friends on Facebook:

Click on the option from the right side of the post and choose Hide.

Get only important updates from Facebook friends

Once you hide the story, it gives you an option of Change what updates you get from XYZ. Click on this option.

Get rid of annoying updates on Facebook

Here you can choose what kind of option you want to receive from your friend. Bets would be to choose Only important.

Get-Rid-of-Facebook-Post-From-Feed-3

You can also opt for Most updates. This will also reduce the activity of your friend in your news feed. I hope it helps you in keeping your friend with you and your Facebook news feed cleaner.

Google Drive Increases The Free Storage To 15 GB

Google will now provide 15 GB of free cloud storage that will be shared between Gmail, Google Drive and Google Plus. Google announced in a blog post that this step will bring more seamless experience across various Google products.

Google Drive gets 15 GB of free storage

Earlier Google Drive had only 5Gb of free storage while Gmail had 10 Gb of free storage. While an average usage of Gmail falls around 2 Gb, rest of 8Gb is almost useless. But with the new unification, this could be very well used in Google Drive. This new scheme applies to your purchased additional storage as well. It means if you had bought 25GB of storage in Gmail, you can use it in Google Drive as well.

What about Google Plus picture storage?

Now, this brings us to this very important question. Does Google Plus have unlimited storage? If 15Gb is to share between Gmail, Google Drive and Google Plus pictures, it clearly is an indicator that Google Plus does not have unlimited storage. When Google Plus was first launched, many people used it to extend the free storage of their Picasa account to unlimited. But as observed by this guy, it was never unlimited and it gave storage full warning at 7.6 Gb data.

If you are not an addict to Google Plus, this new unification of storage should not be affecting you at all. In fact now you can use the extra unused storage from Gmail to Google Drive. You can see the usage in your in nice graphical manner. The changes will start rolling in next few weeks therefore you have to wait for sometime, depending on you geographic location.

You just need to turn ‘Facebook Home’ on; the entire world of friends, their posts and comments, notifications come alive. You can keep on chatting on Facebook Home, even using another app.

Let’s see what all the new Home has for its users.

The Technology

Facebook Home is a compact offering of four components; the various Apps, an integration platform (Facebook), the OS (Android), and your Smart phone. The concept seems working in a way that you get a bunch of services under one banner – Facebook; as if, it is a single window entry to a multiple access points.

Cover Feed

You do not need to log in to Facebook, turn the phone on or press the home button and any new post, status update, photo, or link shared gets automatically flashed in the screen.

Notification Alert

You get notifications about calls, updates, events, and apps on the home screen with respective profile pictures and app icons. They remain on the home until you do not allow them to go.

Smart App Launcher

With this new home you get automatically rights to a lot of apps, like ‘Instagram’. Now there is no need to download and install your essential apps separately. You can also decide what goes where; a kind of intelligent folder management.

Free Download for Android Users

You can download Facebook Home for free on certain devices, including HTC One X+, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III, and Samsung Galaxy Note II with Android OS. Downloading and using the Home is as simple as 1, 2, 3…

The Home brings in some of the recent innovative and promising features to a single platform. The important aspect of its success or failure depends upon its usability and user-friendliness, along with its interdependence. Let’s see, whether Facebook Home is turning out to be a ‘Sweet Home’ for its users.

Almost every work that someone was doing some few years back with the computers is now possible on your small mobile devices. E-commerce is rapidly changing into M-commerce; and pushing business and website owners to create mobile website.

Mobile Website

International Data Corporation (IDC), in one of its recent survey reports says ‘More than half of next year’s expected 5.7% increase in global IT spending will be driven by sales of smartphones, tablets and e-readers.’ This data indicates that people will be spending life in and around a mobile device; be it a smartphone, tablet, or e-reader.

The global trend in the last few years is showing a sharp change in consumers’ buying behavior. With tremendous support from robust logistic models, easy, affordable, instant, and anywhere access of Internet, people are now able to make purchase decisions on the fly. This has become possible on because of strategic implementation of mobile websites. Name any business, they find a place online and also prompt users to visit their mobile site. More and more FMCG, consumer durable, travel and ticket booking businesses are coming with impressive mobile websites.

However, when we talk about mobile websites; marketers must take care of the following aspects that cause in creating a good mobile website.

User Experience

User experience has to be ultimate. A mobile site is similar to the summary of a long article that gives all the taste, flavors, and essence of the entire article. When it comes to making profit out of your mobile website, developers must focus on the following ingredients for bringing in the ultimate user experience.

  • Easy Navigation: Users must be able to navigate easily within the website. The various sections and tabs must be well placed and clearly visible within the screen. Each page should leave the option open to go back to the previous page.
  • Browser Compatibility: Different users like to use different browsers; the mobile site must be compatible with all the popularly used browser used across different mobile devices.
  • Load Time: The page load time does matter. The home page and the internal pages must be very light enough to load for a wait-less experience.
  • Smart Use of Screen Space: Mobile screens are definitely much smaller compared to the laptop or desktop. The website must be accordingly developed so that it contains all the relevant information and links useful for the readers within the space budget.

Content

Content of the website should speak for its purpose. It solely depends on the power of the content to deliver the desired message to the readers within the permissible space. When we say content; it includes the text, images, and videos. Content has to be concise, actionable, and clear. The images used should be in sync with the overall philosophy of the website. Video streaming should also be effortless and uninterrupted.

Social Integration

Every modern mobile device is built for socialization. The mobile website should also hold this idea by intelligent social integration. This is one golden feather attached to your website that would fling your business to maximum numbers of readers without much effort.

Get your website ready for M-commerce.
