SHAREit allows you to share photos and other files between devices (across the major platforms) without requiring data, Bluetooth, or an active WiFi network.
Motorola Power Pack Micro Review
Are you ever getting ready to run out of the house and you can’t find your phone? Or, maybe more likely, you’ve got your phone, but can’t find your keys? Motorola aims to solve that problem, as well as the angst of low battery life, with the Power Pack Micro. This little device is a charger and a locator, all in one. I’ve put together a little demo for you to check out.
Droid Turbo–Super-Spy Hands-Free Controls
Me: “How now, brown cow? What’s my schedule this week?”
Droid Turbo (spoken): “Here are the events you requested. First up, you have a calendar event tomorrow at 4:10pm. The title is ‘Kids’ Dentist Appointments’.” [The phone’s screen displays my entire calendar for the week.]
TiVo Streaming Comes to Android
As a TiVo fan and an Android user, it has been an ongoing source of sadness that two of my besties couldn’t play well together. Well, all that has changed! The newest (bigger, better) TiVo Android app now allows you to stream your content to Android devices with a non-Intel chipset and running Android 4.1 or better. Most of you with newer Android phones/tablets will be just fine to stream to your heart’s content.
When Android Isn’t Just Android
So you know that I’m a member of the Verizon Wireless #VZWBuzz team and, as such, I regular get to try out new offerings from the Verizon Wireless store, including new phones. I was using a Motorola Droid Mini for quite some time and was starting to take my favorite features for granted when the HTC One Remix arrived. They are both Android phones so you might think the transition between them would be an easy one. You would be wrong.
When GMail and Google Services Won’t Sync on Your Android Phone–How To
As someone who works almost entirely online, I rely heavily on my phone (currently a Motorola Droid Mini) to stay connected throughout the day. Since I am an Android user, you can imagine my surprise when my phone suddenly stopped syncing with GMail and other Google services. My GMail app kept telling me it was trying to connect. And the Google Play store insisted that I was not properly logged in (without giving me any opportunity to change my login credentials).
OK, Google Now… Mobile Driving Safety
Have you seen the commercial where the guy leaves his Droid Ultra in a taxi and finds it by saying, “OK, Google Now, Call my Droid?” If not, you can watch it now.
Kyocera Hydro Elite Makes Android Accessible
If there is one overwhelming “complaint” about Android phones, it’s that they are too complicated with too many settings. For some of us, that’s a bonus, but for others, it’s just plain confusing. When I received the Kyocera Hydro Elite phone as a member of the Verizon Wireless Insider team, I was excited to tell you all about its waterproof capabilities. They are, after all, very cool. But it has another feature that I think is just as exciting: Starter Mode.
Capturing Life with Nokia Lumia’s Cinemagraph Feature
When I first received the Nokia Lumia 928 phone [*I am part of the Verizon Wireless Insider Team – full disclosure below], one feature that stood out as being unique was the Cinemagraph. A Cinemagraph is a static image with moving portions that repeat in a loop. This waterfall is an example, saved as an
