HP DESKJET 3545 Photo Printer

Chose this printer because of the price (a little less than Php 5000, the photo printing and wireless capabilities.

Set up was a breeze on the windows machines but there's something wrong with the set up on the Mac. The wireless thingie on the Mac is not that easy to detect.

Will update this page on the printing quality once I get to use it after a week.

Open Garden

I can't seem to make Open Garden app work for my phone and Tablet.

There's a very good concept though. Using a sort of mesh network between devices to share data connection, it uses low power and less risk of hacking (if ever it exists) because one will not use the mobile hotspot feature of the phone.

Still, it does not work!

OK Google

So after a while of wishing that my LG G2 get this feature (both my Nexus 7 and Alcatel both c/o the Google Now Launcher has it), all of a sudden, the mic on the Google Search Bar is finally shaded out, which means it is on and is now capable of launching just by saying the magical words, OK GOOGLE.

But now, every time I say those magical words, all my 3 devices wake up! And regarding the G2, seems like the voice notes app doesn't work when the mic is being used by another application (Google Now).

Blogger Apk

Sideloaded the Blogger Apk on my LG G2, first time was a failure, it didn't install. But the second source did.

Let's see if I can revive my Blogs

Why I won't suggest Sony smartphones

Although Sony makes one of the best smartphones, it wouldn't be on top of my list to suggest. Why? Because Sony is known to be too slow or just forget their phones when firmware (Android) updates are available.

A new calendar widget that looks good on my Android devices but still links to Cal for the full calendar app

Viber is down?

Messages from Philippines and Australia confirmed cannot be sent

Instagram

Isn't it for pictures? I could have installed an app for quotes instead if I wanted quotes

Google Now Launcher on an LG G2

Side loaded it on my phone, works fine except for two things, the Knock On feature works only on waking up and the "Ok Google" hotword doesn't work.

Chrome Remote Desktop

Easier to set up and use than Microsoft's own Remote desktop app

Updating PS3

Different updates for different games including the whole console

Kakao Talk

Installed it because my daughter uses it

False hope

The Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra prompted for an available update, I was hoping for KitKat, but...just a small update

Pocket

I like the new browser extension (new for me coz I just found out about it now). No need to open the website to save to Pocket, just right click the link and choose "save to Pocket".

Contact photos

Phone doesn't upload edited contact photos

Open Garden

Wrecked havoc after installation in my Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra, had to do a hard reset

KitKat memory management

Living up to its promise of better app management resulting in faster transitions and processes

Android Wear

Pretty exciting news to wake up to as Google introduced Android Wear concept. A wearable device that will make the user more informed and connected than looking stupid.

Between LG and Motorola (both announced their version of Android Wear device right after Google did the announcement), I'd choose the Moto 360 over the LG G watch in design the design factor, although I'm sure that LG will be a lot cheaper. But then again, I'm not getting both and will probably wait for version 2.

TEXT Spam

Although I've noticed that I'm only getting text spams in my Globe line and none on my Sun line, hmmmmm
