Before there was Google Play Music, Spotify, YouTube and PowerAmp, people would listen to music on the radio. And many people still do listen to the radio. Older cell phones often came with an FM tuner, however we are seeing more and more high end smartphones not having this classic feature, like some US versions of the Galaxy S3. If you are looking for a device that specifically has an FM tuner built-in, here is an non-exhaustive list of the smartphones that have it!

For phones that don’t have an FM Tuner, the user will have to use mobile data or Wi-Fi in order to listen to streamed music, radio channels and podcasts online, like Spotify, Google Play Music All Access, etc.

However, Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG and other manufacturers have included this feature. How do you use the FM radio? Open the app, and plug in your headphones into the jack, this serves as the antenna. Below you will find the list of all the devices.

It's also worth pointing out that carriers often disable this feature, Verizon is the biggest culprit. Some devices may come with an FM Tuner, like the HTC One (M8), but Verizon disabled this. It's best to double check with your carrier beforehand, especially if you're with Verizon. 

How important is this to you?

If you like to jump on the latest firmware bandwagon as soon as the file is available or like trying out different custom ROMs, you’re most likely pretty comfortable with flashing your device. One of the downsides is that in order to get to this point, you need to have Samsung smartphone or tablet, a PC, and the Odin recovery software. Thankfully, a new mobile version of Odin has been released that helps users skip the whole PC part of the process and enabling users to do everything from their Samsung smartphones and tablets

Mobile Odin Pro

What it comes down to is Odin being transferred over from a PC application to an Android one: it performs all the same functions as before with being able to flash ROMs, kernels, modify elements of the operating system, and more. The great advantage is now that it’s in a mobile package and can be used while on the go.

The developer behind Mobile Odin Pro is the one and only chainfire, the mastermind behind SuperSU and other great developer tools for the Android platform. Just a note though: the application itself does cost $4.99, but is a great tool if you own a Samsung device and enjoy flashing new firmware/custom ROMs.

You can grab the APK from the XDA Developers forum

How to use

The process is pretty much like what we do on the PC with Odin, but from the comfort of your smartphone. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. Find the firmware that you want to install on your device. SamMobile has a great repository of firmwares for all Samsung products, just make sure it is compatible with your version of your device.

2. Start Mobile Odin Pro.

3. Choose Open File and select the firmware that you’ve downloaded to your device. Usually, Mobile Odin Pro will automatically detect this if you installed it on SD, but you may need to find the exact file yourself.

4. Once you’ve selected the file, you can choose a bunch of other options to perform when flashing such as enabling Ever Root, auto-installing SuperSU, and others.

5. Once done, select Flash Firmware and the process will begin.

So really, that’s it! All the same Odin goodness that we’re used to, but in a nice mobile package. 

How did you find the mobile version of Odin?

The hugely popular BBM app finally went cross-platform and arrived for iOS and Android devices last year, but those with Windows Phone devices have had to wait longer. The good news today is that BBM for Windows Phone is to make a general release next week now that it has gone through beta testing.

We knew that the BBM app for Windows Phone was on the way and last month we told how BlackBerry had confirmed that it would arrive by the end of July. A specific release date was not given at that time but it looks as though BlackBerry will just about deliver on time.

When registrations for the BBM beta app started there were 10,000 signups within the first 24 hours, and the app for beta testers was made available last week in the Windows Phone Store. Now BlackBerry has announced that the app will be available for everyone next week.

BBM version 2.0 for Windows Phone includes usual features such as Feeds, Chat and Contacts, and since beta testing began BlackBerry has responded to feedback from users by updating the app with bug fixes and new features. Earlier in the week an update brought transparent live tiles, a revamped UI for the picture preview window, and further additions.

BlackBerry hasn’t yet said exactly when the BBM app will go live for all on the Windows Phone Store next week, but at least we now know that it’s imminent.

Skype got a bit of a revamp on iOS, and today the Skype 5.0 update rolled out for Android. It’s a major update for the social app, and it will now be a whole lot easier to find your friends on the service.

The Skype 5.0 update brings several new featuers to the table, but first and foremost, is the ability to find your friends easier. The new update allows you to connect Skype to the address book on your handset which makes starting a Skype chat a breeze.

Once you install the update, at some point it will ask you to verify your phone number. From there the app will search for matches between your address book and Skype, so your contacts will ‘evolve’ as more people from your contact list join Skype. You can choose whether you want your address book contacts added to Skype, and modify or delete the number associated with your account.

In addition to the mobile address book implementation, you’ll have a new feature to look forward to if you use a Microsoft account. The new update can automatically connect your address book to other Microsoft services like Outlook and Windows 8. If you have a Windows 8 machine, you probably have a Microsoft account, so it’s handy feature to have if you’re a Skyper.

The Skype 5.0 update is live on Google Play, but it may take a few weeks before you’re prompted for verification to start the contact search. The company says the new friend finding feature will come to other platforms in the near future as well.

PayPal has signed up "tens of thousand" of Nigerians in its first week of operating in Africa's biggest economy, with consumers already purchasing items from Britain, China and the United States via its online platform, a company official said.

E-commerce remains in its infancy in most of Africa but is growing exponentially with the advent of online retailers such as Jumia, partly owned by South African phone operator MTN, and a growing middle class with money to spend.

Citizens of Africa's most populous nation could not buy goods directly from foreign merchants before the launch by PayPal, the payments unit of online auctioneer eBay Inc.

We have seen great uptake by Nigerians ... in terms of coverage," Malvina Goldfeld, PayPal's head of business development for sub-Saharan Africa, said in Lagos on Tuesday.

PayPal entered Nigeria and 10 other nations last month, providing online payment alternatives for consumers via mobile phones or PCs in markets often blighted by financial fraud. The new markets bring the number of countries PayPal serves to 203.

Goldfeld said that Paypal secured a few deals with electronics suppliers in China and Dubai ahead of its launch and that it had partnered with Nigerian lender First Bank, which has more than 10.5 million customers.

FASHION AND ELECTRONICS

PayPal launched its platform in South Africa four years ago, Kenya last year and now Nigeria, Goldfeld said, giving the company access to shoppers across 40 sub-saharan African countries.

Goldfeld said the biggest interest has been in products from the United States, Britain and China, adding: "People are buying everything ... (but) there's definitely a concentration in electronics and fashion."

However, worries over internet security and online fraud have held back e-commerce growth in Nigeria, where 63 million people have active internet data subscriptions but only 1 percent of them make online transactions, First Bank said, noting that online purchases are expected to reach $1 billion this year.

Though challenges remain - including abysmal infrastructure, port delays, other supply chain woes and the task of persuading shoppers to trust websites with their bank details - Goldfeld says PayPal's reach will help to speed improvements.

"A lot of the merchants that we work with ... already ship to Nigeria. I think that the growth of e-commerce will push the logistics customers to up their game," she said.

Nokia N Arc replaces N9

Nokia N9 is a successful product however the Nokia N10 successor generation has not been released. And now is a return to the concept of idea generation successor named Nokia N Arc.

Despite now having new owner's the Finnish smartphone manufacturer Nokia has long had a hardcore set of fans that love the handsets they provide, even if the operating system has disappointed in the past. The Nokia N9 was a much loved handset among fans of the company which never got replaced with a Nokia N10, but today we have a concept design for fan out there. The designer was a big fan of the Nokia N9 and with that in mind has created the design that you can see on this page.

Operating System
This is the MeeGo Harmattan 1.3 version with all the claw touching gesture controls that you need.Nokia N Arc enhanced security, user interfaces are supported better than its predecessor. In particular, the Nokia N Arc camera is 21MP with 4K video recording capability with Carl Zeiss lenses, something not even on this new smartphone PureView technology.

It is called the Nokia N Arc and features a 4.95-inch 1080p touchscreen display with ClearBlack technology running MeeGo Harmattan 1.3, which is the replacement for the operating system that came with the Nokia N9.

Are you a fan of the Nokia Product?

 Operating system update is like treat for any device users as it’s incorporated with plenty of advanced changes.
Android 4.4 KitKat released last year and has now received several incremental updates, and if you have a Samsung device there’s an easy way to check update statuses. A Samsung new Android update list in real-time will keep you in the loop about update arrivals.

Some devices have still not received Android KitKat although we already reached Android 4.4.3 early in June with Android 4.4.4 starting to roll out for some handsets later that same month. Real-time firmware releases are now shown on this Samsung Android update list, and this should be an easy way to find out whether your device is running the latest version available for it.

However, the firmaware update is always the priority of the Korean manufactures and this is the real game changer for this smartphone giant.

The page is a good bookmark to new Samsung Android users and includes device names and model numbers, regions, the OS version number and build date, and also download links. For example if you look right now you’ll find that the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 with the Exynos processor is currently on Android 4.4.2 KitKat while the Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580 is still on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Well, as if now, the Android L is the next major thing which upgrade to Google’s Android operating system and is heading for a public release in this fall so this page is likely to come in very useful when the new operating system arrives. To get the more idea about the new operating system update, must check this real-time update list. However, if you want to buy the Samsung recent flagship device, you can check it via our shop page.

Within the next few days we’re going to see a whole bunch of details on the return of one of the original 3D fighting games: Tekken 7. This game will feature a far longer trailer than what you’re about to see during San Diego Comic Con

This trailer features to the return of a classic character which you’ll have to gain an appreciation for in your own viewing. Shadow of the beast, questioning Kazuya - the original shadow warriors bring back the heat.

There’s word that The Final Battle is revealed ever-so-slightly differently between the English trailer and the Japanese trailer 

While we know precious little about this game or its contents, of one thing we can be sure: this game will not be made for last-gen consoles. Unreal Engine 4 is made for systems at least as new as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, so Bandai Namco isn’t fooling around with those systems of the past.

Game Director / Chief Producer of Tekken (now and for the past 20 years having worked on the series) will be Katsuhiro Harada. This man is part of Namco Bandai as well as 765 Production, and will be taking the lead on this project. This was announced for the first time officially this week at EVO 2014.

Harada will be appearing at a "FIGHTING GAME PANEL", as he calls it, at SDCC this next week. This will take place on Friday July 25, 2014 12:00pm - 1:00pm Pacific Time. According to the media, taken by Harada, he’s already arrived. It’s time!

Malaysian passenger airliner shot down with 295 on board

A Malaysian passenger airliner with 295 people on board has been reportedly shot down in Donetsk, Ukraine near the Russian border.

The Boeing 777 plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

Anton Herashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying the plane had been hit by a missile at an altitude of 10,000m (33,000ft), as BBC News writes.

A Malaysia Airlines official has confirmed the news and CNN confirms the black box from the aircraft has been found.

The Boeing 777 reportedly had 280 passengers and 15 crew members on board.

The plane appeared to have broken up before impact, "with the wreck scattered over a wide area in the village of Grabovo, as BBC News notes.

Citizen-shot video has surfaced reportedly showing the crash site.

The above video reportedly shows the moment of impact when the plane crashed.

The route taken by the Malaysian flight is a very common one between Kuala Lumpur and the Netherlands, according to CNN aviation safety consultant Mary Schiavo. "She noted that the plane was flying over a troubled area and said close communication with air traffic controllers would be a key necessity.

The accident comes after Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200 - carrying 239 people, had mysteriously vanished on March 8 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. More details are forthcoming.

Microsoft To Cut Off Nokia X Android phones Production

Microsoft looks set to end the Nokia X lineup of Android-powered smartphones acquired by the company with its Nokia acquisition although some of the devices may be "shifted" to become Windows Phone-powered Lumia phones.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella writes in his email to Microsoft employees today, after announcing the redundancy of 18,000 workers, that"We plan to shift select Nokia X product designs to become Lumia products running Windows. This builds on our success in the affordable smartphone space and aligns with our focus on Windows Universal Apps."
Former Nokia CEO, now an executive at Microsoft, echoed the remarks, saying that "additional lower-cost Lumia devices" can be built by "shifting select Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices.

From Nokia X Android To Nokia X Windows

It appears that the changes will be seen very quickly as he adds, "We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products." The announcement comes less than a month after the launch of Nokia's latest Android-powered phone, the X2, but analysts have been wondering for a while how the X lineup would fit into Microsoft's Windows-dominated ecosystem. The answer, it seems, is what many anticipated: it simply won't.

Apparently, Microsoft has no interest in developing Android handsets and would much rather continue producing Windows Phone devices with its own software. Of course, this is no surprise as a manufacturer cannot be expected to endorse a competitor's product, but the launch of the X2 was seen by soon as a committal by Microsoft to keep the Android-powered Nokia's alive although many, including myself, were rightly skeptical of what the launch concealed, it seems.

Galaxy Apps Store To Ecliped Google App Store

Samsung has created Galaxy Apps, an app store that eliminates the need for Galaxy owners to turn to Google Play.

Samsung's Android-running Galaxy devices have helped make it the world's top-selling smartphone maker. But in what could easily be interpreted as its latest move to put space between itself and Android-maker Google, Samsung has introduced Galaxy Apps, an online app store that Galaxy device users can turn to instead of Google Play.

Samsung introduced the store in a July 11 blog post, saying it "features hundreds of exclusive apps," will offer Galaxy device owners greater customization, and will make promotions and discounts more easily and obviously available to owners of Galaxy devices.

"At Samsung, we continuously strive to create value for our customers by providing differentiated solutions and services coupled with innovative devices," WonPyo Hong, president of Samsung's Media Solution Center, said in a statement. "Samsung Galaxy Apps is an extension of that promise, as it offers our customers exclusive apps to enrich their experience.

Galaxy Apps is divided into three sections: Staff Picks, Exclusives and Top. The Staff picks section doesn't feel so inspired—there's no sense of actual staff members making recommendations. Top, as expected, offers views of the most downloaded apps, sortable by pricing or popularity.

Exclusives is the key area and likely a major motivation for the store's existence. (Knocking the Google name out of the picture, and encouraging users to think of apps in terms of Samsung, not Google, is surely another.)
The Exclusives section looks the most originally Samsung and the most polished. It includes sections such as Essentials, Gifts, Apps for Professionals and Specials. Essentials includes apps such as Milk Music—Samsung's new streaming music app, introduced at the launch event for Samsung's newest flagship device, the Galaxy Tab S—and SideSync, a nifty app for owners of both a Galaxy tablet and a Galaxy smartphone.

Specials offers apps that were specifically created using Samsung SDKs, the company explained in its blog post, suggesting a better user experience than standard Android apps.
The Gifts section includes free apps, as well as notable ones such as "samplers" from GQ, Vogue, and Vanity Fair that come courtesy of a special deal (also announced at the Tab S event) between Samsung and the magazines' publisher, Conde Nast. More than just excerpts, or views of magazine page layouts, the samplers are beautifully and specially rendered versions of articles made for Samsung devices.

Other gifts include exclusive offers for Galaxy device owners, such as a Wall Street Journal application that comes with a free six-month subscription.
"The battle for tablet market share isn't just about things like HD anymore; it's about making an effort on content as well," Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar WorldPanel, explain to the media at the unveiling of the Tab S, which comes with Galaxy Apps installed and basically also uses it as one of its Home screens."That's refreshing," Milanesi added. "It means that if you don't bring all the fancy specs to life with great content, you're failing."
Samsung, in its blog post, said Galaxy Apps will eventually be available across 161 countries and to more than 130 million users.

Moving Away from Google

In February, Samsung refreshed its Galaxy Gear smartwatches, slimming them down but also transitioning them from Android to Tizen, its own mobile operating system (with roots back to Intel and Nokia). 

Later, in June, Samsung introduced the Samsung Z—its first smartphone to run Tizen. The phone's introduction was timed to the third annual Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco, where the Tizen Association—which has representatives from Samsung, Fujitsu, Huawei, LG, Intel and five wireless carriers on its board—encouraged developers to create for the OS.
Intel Managing Director Christopher Croteau, at the time of the Gear smartwatches' debut, said in a statement that Intel sees a "unique role for Tizen in the industry to create and to grow a new, open and flexible mobile operating system.

The Samsung Z debuted in Russia, and reports have suggested that the next Tizen smartphone could arrive in India, where loyalty toward Android isn't yet strong.

Look, not every tip needs to be about extending battery life or accessing things more easily. Today we've got some smiley faces and stuff. It turns out you can use Emoji in homescreen folder names, which is neat.

Just pop open a folder and tap on the title like usual, then (on the Google Keyboard) long-press the 'Done' button to switch to Emoji. This might be different if you're not using the Google Keyboard, though. The only issue you have to deal with is a weird rendering quirk when the folder is closed – a few dark lines behind the Emoji. It looks a little odd, but it's not as noticeable on all images. There'sa bug in the issue tracker for it.

This works best on Android 4.4, which has proper support for colorful Emoji, but you might have some luck with Android 4.3 as well. Have fun.

Besides a larger display, Apple's upcoming iPhone 6 also may feature a faster A8 processor that pushes the system-on-a-chip beyond the 2.0 GHz threshold, claims GforGames citing Chinese media source cnBeta [Google Translate]. 

According to the latest information, Apple will reportedly increase the CPU frequency of its next-generation SoC to 2.0 GHz or higher per core, up from the 1.3 GHz (iPhone 5s and Retina iPad mini) or 1.4 GHz (iPad Air) of the A7 processor. The chip will keep the 64-bit, dual-core architecture of the current generation A7 CPU, but will be manufactured with a 20-nm process instead of the A7's 28-nm. TSMC and Samsung are thought be the primary manufacturers that are producing the A8 chip for Apple's upcoming iOS devices. 

Though competing phones ship with quad-core processors, Apple's possible decision to stay with a dual-core design may be the result of the company using a custom-designed chip optimized for iOS and not an off-the-shelf solution. This optimization already has been shown in the current dual-core A7, which offers "desktop class" performance that outperforms other players in the mobile phone marketplace. In its detailed analysis of the A7 after launch,Tech Analyst found that even though the A7's performance is top-notch, there was still room for improvement as almost no iOS app took full advantage of A7's available processing power.

South Korea's leading tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. said Friday it has renovated its application store as "Galaxy Apps" to provide users with a wider choice for customization of mobile devices.

The version is an update from the company's previous "Samsung Apps" store and offers hundreds of apps exclusively available to users of Samsung Galaxy smart devices. Samsung said the new app store will be available to 130 million users in 161 countries.

"At Samsung, we continuously strive to create value for our customers by providing differentiated solutions and services coupled with innovative devices," said Hong Won-pyo, who heads Samsung's Media Solution Center.

"Samsung Galaxy Apps is an extension of that promise, as it offers our customers exclusive apps to enrich their experience," Hong said.

Samsung said the new application store will provide users with intuitive interface. The main page is divided into three categories -- Best Picks, Top and For Galaxy -- where users can find Galaxy-only apps including Samsung Contents Viewer and Samsung Wallet.

Screen Display Comparison

Display types, benefits, resolutions and preferences can be pretty confusing. With our guide you'll know how each display works, what it's good for and how to pick one.

Super AMOLED vs LCD vs Retina display: When we talk about the Galaxy S5, Tab S LG G3 or iPhone, you may hear us rambling on about IPS, AMOLED, Retina and LCD.Well, today we're going to clean that confusion right up for you as we break down how each display type works, what they're good at and which is best for you. LCD LCD means Liquid Crystal Display. As you can probably figure out, LCD is made up of an array of liquid crystals that get illuminated by a back light. Because LCDs don't require much energy to power a screen, the technology is very popular in portable devices. Likewise, because LCDs are back lit, they tend to perform quite well in direct sunlight, as the entire display is being illuminated, so they are ideal for smartphones. However, this back lighting means that blacks tend to appear gray and they therefore have less contrast than some other display technologies. There are two main types of LCD: TFT and IPS. TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor and they are an advanced version of LCD that uses an active matrix (like the AM in AMOLED). Active matrix means that each pixel is attached to a transistor and capacitor individually. Their main advantage is their relatively low production cost and increased contrast when compared to traditional LCDs. Their disadvantage is more excessive energy consumption than some other LCDs, and less impressive viewing angles and color reproduction. IPS stands for In-Plane Switching and it is an improvement of TFT LCDs. To summarize very roughly, the way the crystals are electrically excited is different and the orientation of the crystals array is rotated. This change improves viewing angles, contrast ratio and color reproduction. Energy consumption is also reduced compared to TFT LCDs. Because IPS LCDs tend to be better than TFT LCDs, they are also more expensive when put on a smartphone. To identify whether a smartphone has an IPS or TFT screen, just look at the technical specs: if they simply say it is an LCD then you know it's a TFT LCD; IPS LCDs are always labeled as such. Retina A Retina display is not defined by any particular characteristic, other than that they are supposedly of sufficient resolution that the human eye can't discern pixels at a normal viewing distance. This measurement obviously changes depending on the size and resolution of the display. Apple popularized the concept with the iPhone 4, which had a 960 x 640 pixel resolution on a 3.5-inch IPS LCD screen, resulting in 330 pixels per inch. Considering the current 5.5-inch QHD displays sit at 534 ppi you can see that in the Android world they've moved on a bit from the iPhone 4. Apple, on the other hand, have stayed true to Steve Jobs' dictum and the current iPhone 5, 5c and 5s all have a Retina display with 1136 x 640 pixel resolution for a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. With a rumored large-screen iPhone 6 coming up, we'll have to see just what resolution Apple opts for in a device that will have to go head to head with the best Android displays available. With a 577 ppi Galaxy S5 LTE-A being released in China, a 300 ppi iPhone 6 would be a prime target for criticism. AMOLED AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode. While this may sound complicated it actually isn't. We already encountered the active matrix in TFT LCD technology, and OLED is simply a term for another thin-film display technology: OLED is an organic material that, like the name implies, emits light when a current is passed through them. As opposed to LCD panels which are back lit, OLED displays are ''always off'' unless the individual pixels are electrified. This means that OLED displays have much purer blacks and consume less energy when black or darker colors are displayed on screen. Because the black pixels are off, the contrast ratios are also higher than LCD screens. AMOLED displays have a very fast refresh rate too, but on the down side are not as visible in direct sunlight as back lit LCDs. Screen burn-in and diode degradation (because they are organic) are other factors to consider. What's the difference between AMOLED and Super AMOLED? Super AMOLED is the brand name given by Samsung to its range of displays that, like IPS LCDs, improve upon the basic AMOLED recipe. Super AMOLED displays reduce the thickness of the screen by integrating the touch response layer with the display itself. Super AMOLED displays handle sunlight better than AMOLED displays and are also better on power consumption. As the name implies, Super AMOLED is simply a better version of AMOLED. which screen display is better? As we have seen, each term is not restricted to one manufacturer: AMOLED is not always Samsung and Retina is not all Apple. iPhone IPS LCD displays are currently manufactured by LG, Samsung has built screens for the iPad and not all Samsung devices are AMOLED either. As is probably clear from our explanations above, it is not simply a case of which display is better: it's all a trade off between pros and cons. All of this is to say two things: numbers and technical data are obviously important when comparing the screens on two smartphones, but equally important is the real-world performance of these displays. It is impossible to gauge a display on paper, you really need to see it in real life to know if it is too cool or warm for you, is too saturated or has too poor contrast, brightness, viewing angles and so on. Don't fall into the trap of believing the marketing hype. Analyze the displays for yourself, ask other users, or if a device is not yet available, then seek the advice of websites whose opinion you trust. Finally, know your usage habits and select accordingly: if you are a couch potato all night and are desk-bound all day, then the daylight viewing benefits of LCDs are probably not so important for you, but if you're an outdoors type then maybe they are. If you're crazy about squeezing every drop of life out of your battery or are simply obsessed with eye-popping color, then take a look at Super AMOLED plus, in some ways the grass will always be greener, but you can still make informed choices that tick as many boxes as possible for you. What kind of display do you think is the best?
