Still don’t get Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OTA system update for your Google Nexus 7? Well, you don’t need to wait anymore. I just download and install Android 4.3 OTA on my Nexus 7 with CWM. Normally, it will take weeks to reach my country, Malaysia. Or you can try to force OTA update method first too. Let’s enjoy latest Android 4.3 before get your hands on the new Nexus 7 (2013)…
Finally, I found a working infrared remote control for Samsung Galaxy S4. Yup, DSLR Remote by bitshift is the one. And the best part – it is free and no ads. DSLR Remote supports both infrared and cable. You can use DSLR Remote IR Dongle for Android smartphone without built-in infrared. Or use IR Blaster for HTC One and Samsung Galaxy series like Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, Galaxy Tab 7.7 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy S4. And supports most of the digital SLR out there like Canon, Fujifilm, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony. Yes, it supports my Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I don’t need to bring Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote with me anymore.
While waiting for Galaxy S4 User’s Digest from Samsung, I discovered another useful tool – Customer Care User’s Digest for Samsung Galaxy Series (maybe this one replaces it). It is an application designed to work best on Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Note 8.0. You can know better of your Galaxy product through this User’s Digest. Learn things like Help App, Account Setting, Software Upgrade, Battery Life, Smart Switch, Network Data Setup, Network Advice and In-Hand Troubleshooting. There are interactive videos to help you understand easier.
Yeah… Google Maps Navigation is officially available in Malaysia. No need hack version to use the navigation feature anymore. Does it better than Waze: Free GPS Navigation with Turn by Turn? Well, at least Google Navigation provides correct route from my house to other places. Waze provides the no entry path ~ a minor mistake. Anyway, both require Internet access as they are online GPS navigator (not like Papago offline version).
I have to babysit my little price while everyone else is gone. To keep me entertain, I always connect Samsung Galaxy S4 to TV through MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter. Watch TV series, music video, movie and anime then. However, it consume some battery life while leave the screen on even with lowest brightness. Luckily, there is a free Android application that can help. Yes, Screen Standby is the one. It can turn off Galaxy S4 screen without putting it to sleep. Therefore, applications like YouTube, PPS TV can continue to play without screen on. Work on games too. It helps to save battery life and avoid it from overheating too. Isn’t that great? Okay, here is the catch. It requires root access.
