Free apps for Android!

Jailbreaking on iPhone or iPod is wildly popular and everybody knows its the only way to get free apps and mod your phone. Of course many iPhone users know that to get these free apps you have to give up some performance. Most iPhone's lose performance after jailbreak. Android however does not have this problem. To get free apps, you do not have to make any modifications to your phone. I'll show you below the method to get free apps for your Android smartphone or tablet.

1. On your smartphone download any file manager app. I prefer astro File manager. If you own a samsung device, it should come preloaded with the My Files app. That works too.

2. On your PC browser, go to 4shared.com

3.  Say you want the new Spiderman game. search for "spiderman.apk"

4. Download the file that you are looking for. If it has your handset name, good. If not you can still try, most of the times it works. 

5. Move the file from your PC to your SD card or phone memory. 

6. Open up your file manager app and navigate to the folder where you saved your file. 

7. Click install and that's it. If it has some problems running, try to find a different version. 

Tips: You can also go to the website straight from your phone or tablet browser which can save you the transferring time and also doesn't require the file manager app.  

To find all apps, just do a blank ".apk" search and you can find all files currently on the database.

Thats it for now. If you have any questions just leave a comment below. 

Happy Holidays. 

Sensation XL vs Nexus Prime

HTC Sensation XL vs Galaxy Nexus Prime (Strictly specs based comparison)


Two new handsets to hit the Hong Kong market in the last few days have been the Nexus Prime and Sensation XL. I honestly like the look of both these phones and someone asked me about which one was better. I couldn't tell you that because I have no personal experience with the phone but I am going to list out a comparison of the specs.

                                     HTC Sensation XL                            Nexus Prime

                                     Super LCD display                               Super Amoled HD Display

                                  In-ear Beats headphones                          Latest Android Software

                                  in the box                                               No flash yet     
                                  Flash Support

Final Thoughts: Both these phones pack a lot in terms of specs and raw processing power. Nexus Prime to me is only better because its got the latest Android software and a dual core processor with the beautiful Super Amoled HD Display. The XL on the other hand looks much better in terms of design, a full white, with capacatative buttons only. It also has HTC's Sense UI which makes using it much easier and the Beats AUDIO integration actually is a big feature for audiophiles. The sound quality is greatly improved and you can notice the difference if you turn it off. The question is not which is better but which one is better for you. Hope this helps
