The initial Galaxy Note 3 rooting process, while being pretty simple, tripped the KNOX status on the device. Once the KNOX status has been tripped, the warranty of your Galaxy Note 3 is effectively voided. There is no way to reset the KNOX status currently, so if you do decide to root your Note 3, you end up saying good bye to the warranty of your device. Thankfully, a new rooting method for the Note 3 has been released by designgears and Chainfire, that does not trip the KNOX status of the device....

Connected Once connected to a display, DeX casts a 1920×1080 desktop that looks remarkably like a super large phone home screen. Shortcuts to your favorite apps appear vertically on the left, and open apps dock on the bottom. Mouse over the docked apps, and you’ll get previews of the activity. But, hey, you’re still in Android, so the desktop’s lower right showcases your full Android notifications tray. The 1080p resolution doesn’t offer much screen real estate....

Samsung is known to stretch the definition of big with its smartphones and phablets. Its marketing has been so effective that even the biggest of the devices (such as the Galaxy Mega 6.3) have seen a widespread success in global markets. The company’s latest offering however, takes it a bit too far. Known as the Galaxy W, this phablet (or tabphone) packs a 7 inch display and is supposed to act as a standalone smartphone, complete with an earpiece grille and everything....

The Motorola Moto E3 Power, a variant of the third generation Moto E and with the model number XT1706 is rumoured to also be launched as Lenovo Vibe C2. This is not surprising, given that Lenovo retains controlling stake in Motorola, and as such, shared design devices were an inevitability. The latest rumour, about the device being also marketed as the Vibe C2, does not have much credibility to back it up, however, the concept of Lenovo and Motorola marketing the same device under two distinct names to reach their target market does make a logical point....

Too much cy, not enough coating The first thing I noticed walking into the space where the developer’s conference was held were the various bowls filled to the brim with bite-sized cy of all sorts. They were placed around the event hall as an homage to the “life is good when you play more” message that ’s been particularly focused on honing in since it introduced this concept of Friends. My appreciation for free cy—free anything, really—knows no bounds, but I couldn’t help but wonder how bowls of colorful ffy Taffy pieces would help inspire me if I were a developer....
