Watch TV, live sports and movies free on your android device with ZERO subscription

Ever wondered if you can watch TV, stream live sports and watch some great movies Free without any subscription? To be really honest with you, there are numerous apps out that allow you to watch TV on your android FREE but most of them are really not good. Today, I will be highlighting on the best 2 avaliable apps for the job.

Check out the top 10 android apps you must have on your android device.

2. LiveNow! TV

LiveNow! TV app is an app developed by live now to bring entertainment to the world with a price tag of FREE and due to that, it runs ads but the ads don't give you trouble at all. The app has over 200 live TV channels and 500 VOD which you can watch and record as well. This app is one I have tested with both WiFi and cellular data (3G,E, H and H+) and I can confirm that the app streams really well even when signal is fair.
LiveNowTV gives you the opportunity to watch more that 200 live TV +500 VOD without subscription nor sign up

1. OLWEB

OLWEB is an android app that I will say is the best when you want to watch free movies and unlimited live sporting events. OLWEB has a wide range of top class TV channels that are sorted out to help you choose what you really want and choose it easily. Though this app is free and also runs ads just like the by LiveNow! TV, it's ads are also very less intrusive hence saving you the trouble of mistakenly tapping on ads while streaming. In fact, ads don't show at all when streaming. One disadvantage of this app is that it does not work very well when signal strength is poor though it is manageable even under such conditions.

WhatsApp tricks - Top 7.for Android users


WhatsApp is the greatest messaging app in existence. Even though it has over the years had competition from apps like wechat, it has still been able to stand tall with improvements and added features with the latest being its call feature. WhatsApp has been built in such a way that using it is so easy and with the tricks I'm about to highlight on, it will even be easier and more fun.
  • Backing up messages - As we all know, we sometimes end up deleting our very important messages mistakenly and wish to have them back. Or we just want to change our phone and we really need all our messages back. Well, it's not difficult to do that, all you need to do is to go to the WhatsApp Settings>Chat settings and tap on "back up chats". Note: WhatsApp automatically backs up every message at 4:00 in the morning.
  • Check when your sent message was read - Sending messages without reply is really frustrating. Especially when you see that blue thick but you are still not getting your reply and you start to guess, "maybe he/she just finished reading it". Guess it's high time you knew how to check when your message was read. Long press on the message and tap on the button with an " 'i' in a circle" that pops up on the green bar. 
  • Hide last seen - Sometimes you just tap on the app and take a quick glance at your messages because you are very busy thus won't be able to reply your messages but the sad news is that whenever you do that, WhatsApp automatically stores that time as your last seen and making people who have sent you the message feel ignored whiles in reality, they're not. It's easy to fix this just by hiding your last seen. Just go to the WhatsApp Settings>Account>Privacy and tap "Last seen" . Now you can change who you want to view your last seen there. 
  • Select who sees your Profile photo and status - One way or the other, strangers end up having our phone numbers and get to see our profile photos and read a our status without us having any idea and sometimes it puts our lives at risk. This is not impossible to prevent. All you need to do is go to the WhatsApp Settings>Account>Privacy and tap either "Profile photo" or 'Status' to change who is allowed to view them.
  • Know who read your message in a group -  Sometimes you send a message or a string of messages in a group and then no one replies. Ouch, that hurts. You end up assuming no one is online. Don't just keep assuming; be sure. Long press the message you've sent and then tap on the button with an " 'i' in a circle" that pops up on the green bar. There you will be able to see those have read and those who have only received  the messages with the exact time they did indicated.
  • Hide blue thick - Blue thick sometimes just show up when you desperately need them not to. Those moments when you are too busy to reply but you are so tempted that you tapped on the message but before you know it, WhatsApp has already sent a "read status" to the sender. Omg, too bad. To save yourself the trouble, tap the WhatsApp  Settings>Account>Privacy and then uncheck the "read receipts" box. 
  • Restore deleted messages - It just happens that we sometimes mistakenly end up deleting our messages. That is never the end for them. All you need to do is uninstall and reinstall the app and when setting it up, allow restore and that's it. You've got the messages back except the ones you sent/received after 4:00 that day. And if you've changed your phone and need your messages back, then you'll need to insert your SD card into the new phone before installing WhatsApp but if your new phone has not SD card slot, then you'll need to copy your WhatsApp folder from your file manager into the new phone's.
Hope these tricks help you enjoy WhatsApp even more. Your questions, suggestions and comments are really important. . 

WINDOWS 10 - Microsoft says it's the last version of Windows. Check out why


It all started on the 20th of November 1985 when Microsoft released the first (totally bug filled) version of Windows (Windows 1.0) . 30 solid years down the line and Windows 10 (a very smooth OS) will be released somewhere in July. We can say this is good news but is any bad news embedded in it?

 "Right now we're releasing windows 10, and
 because Windows 10  is the last version of 
Windows, we're still working on Windows 10"

Microsoft's developer evangelist, Jerry Nixon was not long ago cited by The Verge making this statement at a Microsoft ignite conference. Ouch, too bad. But hey is there any good news embedded in this bad news? Let's find out.


SO WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND WINDOWS 10 BEING THE LAST VERSION OF WINDOWS AND WHAT DOES THE STATEMENT REALLY MEAN? 

The statement above may send chills down the spine of Windows lovers and bring joy to Windows haters, but in reality, it should be the opposite. You are wondering why right? Don't wonder any longer. The truth is that windows will just be changing for the better. Windows 10 will actually be the beginning of a new Revolution. When it is launched in July, Windows 7 and 8 users will be able to start using it through a very simple Windows upgrade online for free.
Windows 7 and 8 users will be able to upgrade online when the OS is launched in July

This simply means that in future, you will no longer need to go and buy a new Windows OS for your computer, surface or tablet. All you will be required to do is simply upgrade online and this simply what Jerry really meant. Even though new names with specific figures will not be released any longer, the subscription model, which will allow Windows 7 and 8 users upgrade  to Windows 10 that is if they do so within the first 12 months, will continue then onwards. As such, Windows will be releasing updates more regularly to make the OS even better. So Windows 10 isn't going to mark the end of the OS. Wheew, sigh of relief.

So in summary, Windows is actually not going to end the OS but is looking forward to make everything online-based so Windows users can get updates more regularly than usual and also make the OS even better.

ROOTING YOUR ANDROID DEVICE: Top 9 reasons why you should root

INTRODUCTION

Rooting is simply the process of allowing users of Android devices attain privileged control (root access) over Android's subsystems. Rooting opens a door of limitless possibilities to the end user since it allows you to break the boundaries set by the stock OS. 

WHY YOU SHOULD ROOT YOUR ANDROID 

As I said earlier on, rooting your android device gets you flying higher with your device. Rooting gives you that opportunity to tweak your device to the maximum and get the best out of it. Let's have a look at some reasons why you should root you your device. 

  • Speeding up device and keeping battery healthy:
    Some apps are just great, but to be honest, they become even greater with root access. Some apps that we run everyday to keep our phones faster and keep our batteries healthy work even better when the have root access. They go into the subsystems to give great tweaks that give us even better performance. 

  • Blocking ads:  
    Some app developers just go off the line with the type of annoying ads they embed in their apps. Some of these ads are so intrusive that you keep getting tapped every time you try tapping something on your screen causing wastage of time, data and creating loads of frustration. With a rooted android device, one can say goodbye to those stuff with the root access required apps like a adblock. 

  •  Call blocking:


    As the title suggests, through rooting, you are able to block those calls you have received before and wouldn't want to receive ever again through the help of a simple app called root call blocker. Root call blocker is an app that goes into Android's subsystem and prevent calls from blocked users from ever coming through by blocking the numbers on the network so the caller does not even notice they've been blocked. 

  • Clearing junk Pre-installed apps:
    Yeah, those crazily annoying apps that have been pre-installed by the device's manufacturer. With a root, you can easily clear them. After all most of them are actually not of any use to you. So gain some space, RAM and CPU now by clearing those thrashy things called apps from your phone with the help of some root required apps like pre-installed app remover. 

  • Auto-tasking your device:
    As the title says, with rooting, apps like Tasker and device control help you auto task everything. Yeah, I know that without rooting, you can do all these but with rooting, you are spoilt for choice. You will be able to even time your 3G, WiFi, GPS, CPU speed, GPU and even the time for the screen to even turn on. So if you want to enjoy auto tasking in a better way, then you should root your device. 

  • Opening the door to limitless possibilities:
    Sometimes, Android does not really give you what you want. Sometimes, apps are blocked by carriers and some key features you want are totally unavailable. All thanks to rooting, we are now able to get all that and even more. With rooting, you are able to make incompatible apps compatible, get carrier-blocked apps, even get WiFi tethering working on phones that initially don't support it and so much more. 

  • Backing up your whole device:
    With an unrooted device, you can be able to back up apps but never the data. With rooting and with the help of apps like titanium backup, you can back up everything from installed apps to data through to pre-installed apps and even the whole Operating system. 

  • Flashing custom kernel:
     To be honest, most of Android's great tweaks require flashing of a kernel. What the kernel does is helps  your softwares communicate with the hardware of you device in a faster manner. Kernels help you overclock (help set the CPU speed of your device to a higher frequency than the stock) and even more. This means better performance, battery and so much more. 

  • Flashing custom ROM:
    Yeah, flashing custom ROM takes you to a whole new world of Android experience. Custom ROMs are lighter and even better performing than the stock ROMs. You will be able to get the latest version of Android even if your manufacturer did not roll out update. And even with a custom ROM like Cyanogen, you will be able to know who is calling you (when you don't have the person's info on your device) within micro seconds. 
Hope these explains why you should actually root your phone.

IPHONE 6S LEAK: FEATURES IT WILL BE HAVING WHEN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN SEMPTEMBER

How the iPhone 6s may look according to proportion 
We've all been waiting for ages just to know how the iPhone 6s will look like. I'm equally surprised at how long it has taken for a major leak to emerge. Well, it's here now and it looks just so cool.

The leak comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a rock solid track record on Apple leaks in recent years. Kuo spoke privately to investors today breaking down 11 key features he understands will make up the key elements of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus when they are launched in September.


HERE ARE THE 11 FEATURES THE PHONE WILL BE HAVING
  • Force Touch will be the biggest upgraded selling point, but also one of the main bottlenecks of the supply chain. Force Touch can enhance user experience due to more input methods and support of handwritten signatures, which is beneficial for expanding in the commercial market
  • Screen will remain at 4.7 and 5.5 inches, with resolution the same as existing models. There will be no new 4-inch model
  • There will be an additional casing color, rose gold, matching the rose gold Apple Watch Edition
  • The camera will have a pixel upgrade, likely to 12 MP
  • One microphone will be added near the speaker to enhance voice quality
  • The A9 processor with upgraded 2GB LPDDR4 will be adopted
  • The bending issue will be improved by using different casing materials and internal mechanical design changes
  • If drop test issues can be resolved, the 5.5-inch model will have a limited number of units with sapphire cover lens
  • The recognition rate of Touch ID will be improved further in a bid to promote Apple Pay
  • Gesture control support
  • It’s expected that mass production will start in mid-to-late August. Total shipments will be 80-90mn in 2015, with a 2:1 ratio of 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models.
