Whether you’re moving to a new device or simply formatting the current one, losing all those saved connections can be nightmarish. While there is no official way to simply port all your saved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, there is a root-only app that allows this. With the help of the PAIRS app, you can restore all your connections on any other device or the same one after wiping in just seconds.

Everybody wants their phone to be updated to the latest Android version but that will never be possible. Even though Samsung could keep all their phones updated to the latest firmware version, this wouldn’t go very well with their strategy, which is: flagship phones get the latest updates; if you want Jelly Bean 4.2.2, get a Galaxy S4, otherwise you have to wait. One thing that needs to be clarified is what software can be used to update the firmware of a Samsung device. There are 2 update software programs that do exactly this: the first one is the official one, Samsung Kies and the second one is Odin, a leaked Samsung software that actually installs a new firmware rather than updating it.

Why wouldn’t you want to tweak the life out of the main display screen of your Android device? Here is a collection of the best lock screen apps for Android that help you add more productive features to your device than it already has. Whether you’re one of the “sheeple” or an anti-Apple fanatic, there’s no argument that “Slide to Unlock” was the foundation of what the modern lock screen is.

However, there’s so much more unused screen space that can be unnerving for the tweaking and customization-savvy Android users. In order to give you a break from the plain and simpl...
