T-mobile cell phone unlocking app, will allow users to change operators

Do you wish to unlock your cell phone that you got through T-mobile? Well, it will be possible soon through the upcoming T-mobile cell phone unlocking app that will allow unlocking cell phone so that you can use the mobile with other carriers. So, no more paying to unlock T-mobile cell phone or following crappy unlocking tutorials; as T-mobile is making an app that will allow one to opt out of the service and take the advantage of other carriers. However, the problem is the app is still under testing phase and there is no solid news when it will be available to users.

Now, you might be thinking about unlocking a phone that you bought at discounted price from T-mobile through the new T-mobile cell phone unlocking app. But let me tell you, T-mobile is much smarter, as it won’t support unlocking in recently purchased mobiles. One must stay with the carrier for at least duration of 40 days with good amount of usage during this period. Also, the full amount of the device should be paid off before one can unlock the cell phone using the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app. What is good about this software is that one will not have to have nagging conversations with the customer care to get help on unlocking or following tutorials which sometimes makes no sense to some people.

Apart from permanent unlocking, T-mobile cell phone unlocking app will allow one to make temporary unlocking of the device. This will be particularly useful for those who are planning to roam or move abroad. The temporary feature will enable one to use service of other carriers for a period of 30 days, and most probably it could be used once. The first phone that will feature the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app is going to be Samsung Avant, as the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app is undergoing testing with this device; older phones will have to stick to the traditional methods to unlock though. However, it is expected that the upcoming phones will come pre-installed with the T-mobiile cell phone unlocking app.

New Amazon Kindle Fire HDX to be equipped with Snapdragon 805 processor for better performance

After a good business with the Kindle Fire HDX we recently came to know that the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is all set to be updated with a newer and faster Snapdragon 805 processor. Amazon recently made a good reputation in the mobile market with their latest Fire Phone. But the Fire Phone is not the only one with high end specification of hardware. According to the Antutu database, the Kindle Fire HDX will also be revamped with new hardware that is supposed to make the device smoother and lightning fast. The new hardware changes are supposed to take the device to a higher level with performance in consideration.

Upgrading hardware of devices is not a new move of tech giants. In fact it has become a trend to upgrade the specifications of hardware and software of their flagship over the time in the gadget industries these days. So, why should Amazon lack behind? The released Antutu database revealed that the new version of Amazon Kindle Fire HDX will be updated with a 2.2 GHz quad core Snapdragon 805 SoC processor and a much better Adreno 420 GPU for the graphics. This a huge update is supposed to make noticeable changes of performance compared to the current version of Amazon Kindle Fire HDX which runs on a Snapdragon 800 SoC processor and the fairly common Adreno 330 GPU.

With these changes the new device is expected to be much faster than its current version. It has been revealed that the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 2014 version will sport a larger 8.9 inch display with a resolution of 1600 x 2560 which is sure to give a crisp and clear display. Also there will be 2GB RAM and 8 MP primary camera on board with a 1 MP front secondary camera from which we do not expect any good quality pictures though but it should suffice for decent video chat. Other specs were about remain the same as the current version, however it has been rumoured that it will come with the latest Android Kitkat 4.4.4 out of the box. Although there is no news about when the updated new Amazon Kindle Fire HDX with Snapdragon 805 processor will be released but based on intuitions it will probably be out by the end of this year.

Motorola Moto X+1 photos has been leaked

Could this be the new Motorola Moto X+1 ? Last year on August the Moto X made its way to the global mobile market, and based on the yearly cycle of mobile launching it seems logical that the rumored Moto X+1 is on the verge of a release. The photos that you are seeing have been released by “Android Police” and claim it to be the near final prototype of the new Motorola flagship.

The Moto X+1 is expected to look like the current Moto X and features the custom wooden back cover. The leaked photos reveals a silver coloured rim around the side of the phone which is claimed to be made of aluminium. Compared to Moto X, the Moto X+1 has been claimed to flaunt a 5.1 inch screen compared to the former which has a 4.7 inch screen size. The phone won’t have any capacitive button  but earpiece and loudspeaker have the placements like the one we have witnessed in the baby Moto E.

On the back of the mobile there is the traditional Motorola logo in black but it doesn’t seem to be like a dimple that we have seen in the other Moto series phones. Also the two white dots on the either side of the lens are claimed to be the dual LED flash. The cameras are expected to be 5 MP for secondary and 12 MP as primary. Like G and X, the Moto X+1 will have fixed internal memory and no MicroSD card slot.

The volume rocker and lock button will be placed on the right side and SIM card slot is claimed to be placed on the top with USB port as usual on the bottom. Other unconfirmed information about the phone includes a 32 GB memory with 2 GB RAM, 1080p screen, a snapdragon 800 processor and will be powered by a 2900mAh. Also a Brazilian retailer leaked that there is a microSD slot. So, as there are contradictions, we cannot say that the report/leak is cent per cent genuine or holds any truth.

Considering the timing of the leak, there is a point that this might be the new Motorola flagship. But whether it will be called Moto X+1 or something else, we will be only sure when new and more concrete evidence unveils in the upcoming days to support or refute this claim.
