GTA San Andreas
I am sure everyone remembers this game. Yes it is a game and not an App. But hey its amazing, so have to include it. It one of my firm favorites that’s for sure. its finally made it ways...
Awesome round-up guys!
Maximise your productivity with these little tips!
[Windows Phone] Lumia 1020 Covers
Hey Guys,
There are loads of professional reviews out there for Lumia cases but i found not many of them are from the UK. I've bought two covers for my 1020 recently and wanted to share my experiences of them with you.
1. Silicon Gel Cover ~£4.00 (Click name for link)
Standard Cover, it was pretty dull but i was OK with that, it was cheap and gave decent protection. The silicon goes over the buttons which made them less "clicky" and i didn't like that
Major draw back was that any dust/lint/etc or particle gets stuck between the cover and phone and damages case a little, it also got really boring after a few weeks!
I decided to have a look around at other stuff, something more upbeat and fun:
2. Ecell 1020 Covers ~£5.00
There are loads of awesome designs (+1500) The case is hard plastic so won't "absorb" impacts as well as the silicon case but offers good protection. Has cutouts for buttons which i liked!
The really spruce up the phone! You'll have to wade through hundreds of designs but i'm sure you will find something to suit your taste!
[WINDOWS HARDWARE] Surface for Students
Looking for a Christmas present for yourself?
Take a look at the student discounts on the Microsoft site here!
Don't forget to pick up a copy of Office 365 for yourself as well. You can get the whole Office suite on a 4-year subscription for £60.00! Windows loves Uni students! That works out as less than a pint a semester!
As an added bonus you get 20GB Extra on SkyDrive, giving you a whopping 27GB total!
Coupled with a Lumia 520 you could be set with a cracking set of tech for under £400, you can't beat that!
[WINDOWS 8] Print Screen - Metro Apps
Hey guys,
The new metro interface in Windows handles screenshots a little differently. If you want to take a screen shot press the "Windows Key" (Bottom Right of keyboard) and the "Print Screen" (Prt Sc) (Top Right)
This will take a screen shot and save it to the folder:
C:\User\"Your Name"\Pictures\Screenshots
There are loads of reasons why screenshots are useful:
Something funny happened in a game
You want to record a conversation you are having (Facebook App)
You need help troubleshooting.
You want to help someone solve their problem (A picture is worth 1000 words right!)
List goes on!
[Windows Phone] Make your PowerPoint Presentations smoother
Hey Guys,
Term rolls on and so does the coursework, getting to the stage now where you have to make a bunch of presentations. You just keep thinking, what can i to do make it stand out, be memorable?
Using the Office Remote can help! This cheeky little app has just been released and is the perfect companion for you presentation.
This App will let you control your presentation with your phone!
No more awkward slide changes.
No need to buy a laser pointer.
No Cue cards, they can be stored on the phone and change depending what slide you are one!
All you have to do is download the App and follow the instructions for first time use. Make sure to follow these closely as it explains the plug-in you need to install for it work on your PC.
The only drawback: You need Bluetooth to pair the Phone and PC, would be great if it worked over WiFi.
If you want to go via the WiFi option there are a ton of remotes out there, the one i use: PC Remote is pretty nifty, will only give you standard options though, such as tap for click, etc, still helpful but not as integrated as the Office Remote!
Fantastic article here from the BBC.
After the recent news of Instagram and Snapchat etc being available on the Windows Phone, it seems as though the Windows Store is finally up to date offering all the major apps in the market.
Great news for Windows however is the growing demands for the phone in the mobile market. Research conducted by Kantar showed that “WP8 makes up one in 10 smartphone sales in Europe - it actually overtook iOS in Italy between July and September”.
Though sales aren’t as great as Android and iOS (most likely due to the fact the Windows apps aren’t as competitive as the above) the presence of Windows is still growing.
It’s up to me and the other Go-To Ambassadors to show you all how incredible Windows 8 is so watch this space.
N.B if you’re dead busy at the moment (like me) I’ll be uploading a vlog about my experience with the Nokia 925 in the next couple of days.
[Windows Phone] Get money for your photos!
Recently got my 1020, with the whooping 41 Mega Pixel cam!
What to do with a phone that can take such awesome shots? Take some amazing shots and make some money of course while you're doing it! (PicHit.Me)
Find the whole story here but basically this is how it works:
Some one is doing a presentation on roses
They want photos of roses from legit sources to use in the presentation
Enter PicHit.Me: client asks for roses and PicHit.Me puts out a mission.
Go out, snap some shots of roses, upload, and provided they are any good/are used you get paid!
Each job/mission will have different rewards, so pic do the ones that sound right to you!
Sounds pretty Epic right? I just found the App the other day so haven't uploaded any pics yet but can't wait to start!
Find it here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/pichit-me/50235b63-e369-4669-a9e3-44090e807d65?signin=true
Should we use a Local account to sign into Windows 8 or should we use a Microsoft account? Neither choice is wrong; Greg Shultz explains.
Usually i like writing my own posts but this is expertly written with images galore, easy to read but to the point.
Everything you've aver wanted or need to know about Win 8 accounts
[WINDOWS 8.1] - App Switching Customization
Hey Guys,
Want to let you know about an option regarding swiping in from the left/app switching, this is totally down to personal preference but want to make you aware of it:
The default way of switching apps is swiping in from the left.
Showing all apps is swiping in a little from the left the back out.
However if you don't like the app switching (E.g. You usually have lots of apps open and work on two or three at once, not just switching between two) then this will be useful for you. You can change it so that the back and fro motion is gone and swiping in from the left shows all app.
This is how you change it:
Go to "PC Settings"
Go to "PC and devices"
"Corners and Edges" Turn the second option on or off!
Hope that helps, great for those of you who want something a little more like a "Task Bar" that includes Apps as well.
[Windows Phone] Official Vine app available!
Hey Guys,
Great news, the official Vine app was released a few days ago, picked it up and its great, works just like you'd expect it to!
Free and works really smooth on my 1020! Windows Phone, whats not to love!
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/vine/f9e6f07e-e47e-47f5-806d-55d4f79f2b60
You can now post Vines easily, the new version if has a ghost option to help out anyone who wants to make a stop motion video!
If you just want to watch funny Vines then that's fine as well, they are split up into a bunch of categories for ease of viewing!
What are you waiting for! Get Vining!
In addition to the incredible 41 megapixel camera on the 1020 (925 & 625 have incredible Carl Zeiss lenses).
The incredible lightness & battery life of them all (especially the 925 & 625).
& the fact that they all come with Gorilla glass which makes a lot harder to scratch or crack the external screen (don’t try this at home school or anywhere else).
(I could go on but I’ll stop there).
The 1520 hasn’t released firm details on release but there will be more on that soon…
