I use countless phones during the year and its hard to find any decent androids with good cameras apart from the likes of the Galaxy Note or LG G3 these would be fairly good when it comes to taking snaps,using the Nexus 6 well the camera is pretty poor and annoying and causing issues,of late my device told me i had no camera on my nexus which really annoyed me especially when i did need it at the time,slightly off topic you just beat the camera on Nokia Lumia devices especially high end,even the latest 735 takes amazing photos for its price and laughs at the Nexus 6.. Below is the message i got when trying to take photos yesterday,very annoying to say the least.
Anyhow should you get this error after trying to clear the cache in the app and every other method bar the hard reset which i hate having to do,i switched off the phone for ten minutes and it was working,this was too late for me then but mostly i do carry two phones with me but not today.Lesson learned now,always carry one of my Lumia devices just in case..
I discovered this new app called Manual Camera,there is several apps in the store,most of them are quite frankly crap and riddled with ads so this is a no go for me,this app does cost you a mere €1.69 and i find the app itself to work quite well with a nice UI and more features than the stock camera app by google on the Nexus 6
Limited time offer! 50% off – only till the end of January!
Important:
This app takes full advantage of Lollipop’s Camera2 API, and therefore requires it to be properly implemented in your Android ROM. If your device runs on Lollipop, and still the app is not compatible with it, please contact your ROM provider (e.g. Samsung, LG) and ask them why they haven’t implemented Camera2 API? So far the situation looks really bad. Only Nexus 5 works perfect. Nexus 6 is almost perfect (only white balance is not working). But the rest of manufacturers are not willing to take this effort, and therefore their devices are not compatible at all.
Manual Camera is world’s first Android camera app with FULL Manual Control:
– Manual Shutter Speed
– Manual Focus Distance
– Manual ISO
– Manual White Balance
– Manual Exposure Compensation
You start in full Auto mode. From here you can Lock each of the parameters separately, and then adjust them manually by rotating the Wheel.
Additional features:
– RAW (DNG) format
– GPS (geo tagging)
– Timer
– Gridlines
– Sounds On/Off
– Max. Screen Brightness On/Off
Have you tried this app or will you download it,if so let us know what your think.So far i like it..

There is plenty of calendar apps today on all Operating Systems be they good or bad or just stock apps built in but this app is designed purposely for shift workers hence the name “Shifts” it looks quite intuitive and nice check it out below.
Traditional calendar apps aren’t ideal for shift workers. You don’t necessarily work a traditional Monday to Friday 9-5 job. That makes it hard to keep track of when you’re working, especially with early morning and overnight schedules.
Shifts solves this problem with a simple solution. Create your own custom shifts using our attractive icons and color picker, then add them to your calendar with just one tap.
You can add up to 2 shifts per day, or setup a shift rotation and apply it to your Shifts calendar all at once. This makes it easy to enter an entire month – or even year’s worth of shifts in less than a minute! See any of your upcoming shifts right from the lock screen.
After you’ve entered your shifts, you can view them in our beautiful month view calendar, or in a handy list format. You can overlay your personal calendar on top, so you’ll know when you have things going on outside of work.
With just a tap you can share your schedule with friends, family, and co-workers – whether they’re using Shifts or not.
Built exclusively for iOS 8 and Apple’s latest iPhones, Shifts is the modern way to keep track of your work schedule
CREATE SHIFTS
Add as many shifts as you’d like, and choose your own icon and headerr for each shift type.
ADD TO CALENDAR WITH ONE TAP
Select one of your shifts, then tap each day on the calendar you’d like to add it to. Up to 2 shifts per day.
SHARE YOUR SCHEDULE
Send friends, family, and co-workers your work schedule whether they’re using Shifts or not.
VIEW UPCOMING SHIFTS RIGHT IN THE WIDGET
See your schedule without even opening up the app, right from the lock screen, or from inside any other app.
SET UP CUSTOM SHIFT ROTATIONS
Set up shift rotations and Shifts will automatically apply your shifts over any date range you choose – great for repeating schedules (e.g. a 3-week schedule that repeats for 4 months)

Finally the much awaited event went live today where Microsoft showcased all about Windows 10 and some new technology which there are introducing the world to. Windows 10 is the most advanced OS made by Microsoft, which will work on various devices of various sizes. Continue reading to know what happened at the event today.
Windows 10 Overview
After the event went live, Terry Myerson announced on stage that, for the first year after Windows 10 launches, any device running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows Phone 8.1 will be able to upgrade to the latest version of MIcrosoft’s OS — for free. Which we consider is good thing as far as users are concerned.
Taking feedback from 1.7 million insiders from the Microsoft Insider Program, Windows 10 can easily be called as the most advanced OS from the company which offers seamless multitasking with special attention on the user security and privacy and comes with loads of features. The key features are listed below
Cortana for Windows 10
On the desktop of Windows 10, Cortana takes the form of a search box located right beside the Start button. The box will allow you to search the web and your local computer, with results popping up above it. Cortana can be used to perform simple searches, but as on Windows Phone, it can also be used to surface much richer information, like flight statuses. Cortana can also be used to send and dictate emails, control music, and launch apps. Notifications will also pop up here.
Windows 10 for Phones
Joe Belfiore today demonstrated the new experience tailored specifically for phones and tablets with screens of 8 inches and smaller. The most immediate change is a shift of the background image to sit behind the UI tiles, making for a much tidier and more attractive interface. The settings menu has also been cleaned up dramatically, with Belfiore noting it’s a universal app that will function identically whether on the desktop or mobile version. The first build of Windows 10 for phones will be made available to members of the Windows Insider Program in February.
Office for Windows 10 Phone & Tablet
Microsoft demoed Office for Windows 10 today, giving a first look at how it will look on phones and small tablets. It’s a huge improvement over what Word, Powerpoint, and Excel currently look like on WindowsPhone. The new apps look a lot more like their desktop counterparts, just streamlined to make more sense for a small, touchscreen device.
Windows 10 for Xbox One
Microsoft’s gaming chief Phil Spencer just announced that Windows 10 is coming to Xbox One. “For developers that want to bring their application over the TV screen this is going to make it very easy for them to do so.” Microsoft announced a the new Xbox App for Windows 10 and Xbox One Streaming to Windows 10 devices.
New Device: 84-inch Surface Hub tailored for Windows 10
Microsoft unveiled a whole new category of device designed to showcase Windows 10. It’s called the Surface Hub. Surface Hub features an 84-inch 4K display with support for multi-touch and pen input. A 55-inch option will also be available. The massive screen also includes dual cameras, microphones, and a wide array of “advanced sensors,” Microsoft says.
New way of Computing: Windows Holographic with HoloLens Headset
Microsoft also revealed its next great innovation: Windows Holographic. It’s an augmented reality experience that employs a headset, much like all the VR goggles. Microsoft’s solution adds holograms to the world around you. The HoloLens headset is described as “the most advanced holographic computer the world has ever seen.” It’s a self-contained computer, including a CPU, a GPU, and a dedicated holographic processor. The dark visor up front contains a see-through display, there’s spatial sound so you can “hear” holograms behind you, and HoloLens also integrates a set of motion and environmental sensors.
Stay tuned for more tech buzz.
Well its been how many months now since twitter last seen an update on Windows Phone yes it was way back then when Android and iOS reaped updates quite regular especially Twitter for Android.
Todays news will be welcome for many users of the app but i fear third party apps have took over the official with apps like Tweetium and Twabbit for example,Windows Phone users have given up along time ago on the official app so can it claw back any of its old friends,well lets see what is new..
Much awaited was to add photos via DM and to have the ability to upload more than one photo at a time and this is now possible which will help current users of the app.We also have people hub integration also you can now ask Cortana (where available) to send tweet when in the app..You can now also share websites from IE to the app from your device,Apart from that there is no cosmetic changes either so it still looks a bit on the outdated side there and notifications are still an issue and sharing is also missing although you can via IE.

Lets face it things are getting smaller and of course things are also getting bigger it depends on the technology,example been phones are now phablets they have reached already sizes we once never thought,ever since the first Galaxy Note was launched we all snubbed it and laughed but look at how that has changed in the last two years alone..
Our PC or Laptop is also another example of how things have become smaller,thinner or lighter and in some cases larger,change is of course good but everyone cant be pleased.Mouse-Box might have the answer for some with their new invention which is not on sale yet nor seeking crowdfunding as yet,but they have crammed a PC into a Mouse..
Mouse-Box has crammed quite alot into what looks like our standard mouse which we are all so familiar with.
It has a Micro HDMI port,2 UBS 3.0 ports,Wi-Fi,1.4GHz Quad-core ARM Cortex CPU, 128GB of flash storage and also cloud storage plus an accelerometer and gyroscope..So all you need after that is a screen and a keyboard and away you go,this seems like a pretty cool idea but can it take off ?
There is many news apps out there today on any platform and plenty of new aggregators examples on Windows Phone would be Magnify and Flipboard which are kind of similar but nice apps all the same and new apps are always welcome on Windows Phone
This is a new app made by Václav Dajbych who sent it in for us to test out and it seems nice and i like the layout too,you can select from already loaded news sources and then you can add more yourself using the add sources option.
The app is quite new so i found one bug initially on testing it out such as not been able to add some RSS feeds giving an error but other than that its quite a nice app and looks well,you can also view the content off line once read,the app initially shows you the main story and some text then you can view the entire article with one tap then you can mark the article as read when finished,to move from one article to another you simply swipe to the left.
As you can see its mostly BBC thats pre-installed on the app but you can add more sources if required,you can pick from News,Sports,Tech,Business etc and you will have an option with your active feeds which of course can be removed if you wish,there is also a nice live tile too for your homescreen.
What do you think ? Sound off below in the comments..
