How To Automatically Save Photos, Videos Received In Messages On iOS 8

Apple’s iMessage is the main source of instant messages for many people these days, especially since the messaging system became part of OS X after breaking free of its iOS shackles. With each new version of iOS, iMessage gets new features that make it more useful but there is one that is still missing.

The feature we are talking about is the ability to automatically save received photos and videos to the device’s Camera Roll and while the likes of WhatsApp already has such a feature, iMessage does not. Jailbreakers have been able to force iMessage to automatically save media to their iPhones and iPads just fine for a while now, but with the release of iOS 8 that all went away. Now though, thanks to an updated tweak called MSGAutoSave8, those using iOS 8 can once again have their incoming photos and videos saved straight to their Camera Roll without any intervention whatsoever.

What makes MSGAutoSave8 so impressive for us is that users do not need to actually open the Messages app in order to kick the automated saving process off. Everything works in the background with no user intervention at all, which isn’t something the likes of WhatsApp can boast. If you ever find yourself hunting for that photo that you know you received but can’t remember when or which conversation it was in, then a tweak like MSGAutoSave8 could be invaluable.

MSGAutoSave8 even has some handy options that you can fiddle with, including the ability to turn the entire thing on or off. Even better, images can be automatically resized before they are saved. That feature alone could save having your 16GB iPhone being filled with massive photos of someone’s cat or just as likely, their lunch!

We’ve saved the best part till last though, and that’s the wonderful news that MSGAutoSave8 is completely free of charge and available to download now from Cydia’s BigBoss repository. If you’ve ever wished for the ability to automatically save images and video received via iMessage, then this is a must-have.

How to watch movies and TV shows for free on Android

Have you ever wondered if it were possible for you to watch movies and TV shows without having to pay for Netflix or any other kind of streaming service? We have, and now we've found a way to do it too. Just sit tight and keep on reading, we'll show you some great apps for watching movies and shows for free on your phone.

You can now watch your favorite TV shows and movies for free on your Android phone / © shutterstock

A note on Popcorn Time

You may have heard of Popcorn Time, a Netflix-like app with an even bigger selection of more current movies and TV show, but sadly we cannot sanction the use of this app. Popcorn Time is illegal folks: try out some of the other options below instead.  

U.S.

Hulu

It was only in recent months that Hulu brought its streaming service to Android, which lets users watch premium TV shows and movies on their smartphones or tablets without paying a subscription fee. Hulu comes packed with current and classic TV shows, Hulu originals, movies and plenty of Kids shows, making it a perfect family tablet companion. Of course, if you want full access to the Hulu library you will need to pay a 7.99 USD monthly fee, but there are plenty of gems to find in the free version too!

Canada / U.S.

Crackle

Crackle is a hugely popular free app available in the US and Canada which is updated monthly with new TV shows and movies. Created by Grouper but later bought by Sony, the app features ads which run at regular intervals throughout the content, but as a compromise you get an excellent selection of media and an app which functions far better than some of the other TV service ports on the list. Watch Seinfeld or Talladega Nights again, for sure.

UK

iPlayer

This catch up service has been going strong for a number of years now and the slick Android app is a great way to watch TV series and movies. It doesn’t have a whole list of archived TV shows and series to sift through, but the catch up service has recently been extended to 30 days, meaning you have a month to catch up on almost anything recently played on any BBC channel. With some excellent programs like Sherlock and Call the Midwife, iPlayer is one of the best free TV services currently available on Android.

ITV Player

The ITV Player app suffered a woefully bad introduction to the Play Store with it being essentially broken on many devices. It’s been turning a bit of a corner with recent updates, but it still has a long way to go. The ITV Player app let’s you stream ITV channels live to your device, as well as catch up on any shows you may have missed from the past week.

4oD

Another app which has struggled with its launch is 4oD. While supplying a fantastic back catalogue of TV shows, and being a firm favorite among many Windows/Mac/console owners, the smartphone experience has been somewhat lacking. Hopefully this will only get better with future updates, as the amount and quality of full series they offer for free is fantastic. All you Peep Show fans owe it to yourself to install it.

The 4oD app includes TV shows from Channels such as E4, More4, and 4Music.  / © Channel 4

Demand 5

Don’t forget that Channel Five’s premier catch-up service Demand 5 is also now available on Android. The updates aren’t as regular as we would like, but nonetheless Demand 5 offers a wide selection of Channel 5 shows and archived programmes to re-watch on your Android smartphone or tablet. The programming quality is arguably lower than the standard offered by Channel 4 and the BBC, although it provides a viable free alternative.

Demand 5 features a number of archived series and current TV shows to browse. / © Channel Five

Worldwide

SPB TV

The Android SPB TV app is not necessarily region specific, offering content from around the world via a selection of weird and wonderful stations. It’s not the kind of app you will use to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster, and you won’t find NBC or Showtime on there, but if you want to take a chance on a wild card then this is it. Be warned, however, a few of the stations definitely appear to be of a more adult nature.

The SPB TV app features a number of international and independent TV stations. / © SPB TV AG

LiveNow!TV

LiveNow!TV offers a broad range of channels from around the world to stream live, as well as a variety of classic/B movies. The movies available are mostly a mix of bizarre horror and Kung Fu movies; LiveNow!TV is a free service supported by ads and of course it doesn't have the same clout as something like Netflix or even Hulu. However, the streaming of live TV worked surprisingly well, and I don't exactly understand how something like this is available when the likes of Popcorn Time and Show Box are banned. Still, for now, it's a great option for streaming a number of well-known channels. 

For a free app, the number and quality of the live-streaming channels available in LiveNow!TV is impressive. / © Live Now!

Those are just a few suggestions for finding TV shows and movies on your smartphone. Do you know any others?

HTC: 2015 Roadmap is “Our Best Ever,” With “Huge Surprises” on the Way

HTC’s 2014 was certainly better than its 2013. They released the One (M8) (our review), a beautifully crafted smartphone that few can match in terms of build quality. They teamed up with Google to produce the newest Nexus tablet, theNexus 9 (our review). They entered new product categories with their RE camera and slapped 13MP cameras into the fronts of phones because…selfies. But maybe most importantly, they actually managed to turn a little profit in Q3 of this year and stop the years and years of bleeding. Sure, their revenues are still in decline as sales also continue to slide, but hey, profit is profit. HTC will take whatever they can at this point. 

According to Jeff Gordon, the senior global online communications manager at HTC, we should expect an even better year from the Taiwanese company in 2015. Not that we would expect him to say anything else about his own employer, but a Tweet sent by Gordon this morning makes it sound as if there could be a few surprises in store.

Gordon mentioned that he “can’t wait to show” us what HTC has been working on, that their 2015 roadmap will be their “best ever,” and that “some huge surprises will blow you away.”

Sounds, promising.

HTC's 2015 roadmap will be our best ever–with some huge surprises that will blow you away.

TSMC Will Be Primary Supplier Of Apple A9 Chip For Next-Gen iPhone, Not Samsung

Samsung and Apple, Apple and Samsung. The war between these two giants of the modern tech industry has been burning fiercely over the past few years. But despite their quibbles over patents and general status as the major names in the mobile market, Samsung remains a central manufacturing partner to Apple – something that Tim Cook has attested to on more than one occasion. More recently, though, the iPhone maker has sought to distance itself from Samsung in this capacity, decreasing its reliance by drafting in other companies, and with 2015 being well and truly here, it seems that Apple’s A9 processor duties will largely be the responsibility of TSMC.

TSMC, or the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, has seen its business with Apple sky-rocket over the past couple of years, with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor being one of the major components it has churned out. But the processor keeping everything ticking over is something that Samsung has largely helmed, and while it was presumed that Sammy would take a leading role in this capacity, it has been revealed that TSMC will instead assume chief responsibility.

According to a report out of Taiwan, TSMC will be the primary supplier, which makes sense given that it currently deals with 70 percent of the A8 production. It had been rumored that Samsung would take a larger portion this time around, but thanks to TSMC’s better yields, the Taipei Timesreports that Apple will stick to a setup similar to what it has now.

This means, to clarify, that while Samsung will still be producing A9 chips – it has, after all, alreadystruck a deal with the Cupertino company to begin doing so – TSMC will have the lion’s share of responsibility.

It’s likely that one or two other companies will be drafted in to help produce the A9 processor, and by diversifying the manufacturing process, Apple will be able to minimize risk. With that said, it does appear that TSMC has quite a heavy load on its shoulders, so Samsung shall remain an important behind-the-scenes figure in getting the iPhone 6s / 7 and next-gen iPads to market.

We’ll keep you updated on any further reports on this matter, so stay tuned to our coverage!

Considering Selling Your Prime Minister Scheme Laptop? Think Again!

I’m sure many of our readers have seen the laptops distributed under the Prime Minister Scheme being sold on various websites around the internet. We won’t talk about the ethics of the situation but with the latest developments, we can safely say that anyone who sold their laptop for monetary benefit will soon be regretting their decision.

The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has taken notice that many students were selling their laptops instead of using them. As a result, the HEC has made it mandatory for all students to show their laptop upon completion of their degree.

Even if the laptop is broken of malfunctioning, showing it will be necessary to get your final degree from your university. If your laptop got stolen, you’ll have to show the FIR lodged against the theft. If you can’t show your laptop or the FIR, you simply won’t be issued a degree and it will be suspended until you do. In short, any profiteering individuals are going to get their just desserts.

Furthermore, if you have sold you laptop, HEC is soon going to find out. They are in the process of tracing anyone who has put up ads for the laptops but the consequences have not yet been made clear. The officials also have serial numbers for all laptops distributed under the scheme and they will be used to track people who have illegally sold them.

According to Dr. Mukhtar, Chairman HEC:

The government of Pakistan, with its limited resources has tried to facilitate the youth through this scheme and if someone tries an act like this, it’s unfortunate and we are going to do everything in our power to stop them.

T-Mobile CEO On Apple Watch: It’s Going To Huge

Apple’s new smartwatch doesn’t even have a proper release date yet and the war is already well and truly underway between the Apple Watch and the plethora of Android-powered alternatives that continue to beat it to market. Unsurprisingly though, the Apple Watch has already made some friends in the technology space and one notoriously outspoken figure is sounding the battle cry in Cupertino’s favor.

Never shy of passing a comment, T-Mobile CEO John Legere has thrown his weight behind the Apple Watch long before it is due to go on sale, saying that he believes that its arrival will act as a tipping point for the niche wearable market.

“We haven’t begun to see the potential of this category. And though we won’t see its full impact in 2015, I believe that the Apple Watch will mark the tipping point when wearables go from niche to mainstream.”

With players like Fitbit, Nike and Jawbone early to the game when it comes to fitness trackers and the likes of LG, Samsung and Motorola already shipping very capable smartwatches, Legere thinks that it will take Apple’s offering to truly kick the wearable format into the mainstream in a similar way to how the iPod took the MP3 player to a new level. It’s arguable that the iPhone did a similar thing for the smartphone too, so Apple definitely has form in this game.

Right now though, and no matter what Legere says, the big stumbling block for the Apple Watch is its unannounced price and that release date which we’re all very eager to know. With the possibility that the Apple Watch will cost more than the competition it will need to be on top of its game out of the gate. Apple has already said that the watch will not have its own apps on release day but will rather leach apps from the iPhone instead. This hybrid no-mans-land may keep the watch ticking over, but it’s the addition of real, native apps that will make or break it.

And yes, we just said ‘ticking over’ in a sentence about a smartwatch. Bonus points to us!

3 Best Educational Apps of 2014

Gone are the days when smartphones were largely used for fun and taking pictures only. Developers are creating diverse range of apps nowadays and have stretched the App stores to the extent that these are now proliferated to an amazing extent of millions that are located in various Play stores and among which, most of them are available free of cost yet some are paid. Some people utilize apps for social media while some indulge with selfie apps. Here are the 3 best educational apps you should try that are also suitable for your child or your mother.

Lumosity:

Lumosity is a wonderful app backed by a neuroscience research company based in California. The App offers a brain training program consisting of more than 40 games in the areas of memory, attention, flexibility, speed of processing, and problem solving. The app is not just confined to adults but even children and old aged people can play it and sharpen their mind. It is a must have app for your smartphone and easily can be downloaded on iOS and Android.

Ted:

For all the Ted fans out there who like to listen motivational speeches from the most influential people on this earth. There are categories which are nicely placed in the interface such as Surprise me, Featured, My Talks, and All Talks. There are categories for the different type of lectures too. Just download the app and you will amaze yourself what wonderful world you had been missing before downloading it.

Lectures of Influential people from all walks of life are there. No matter you are atheist, idealist or feminist, you’ll find talks according to your flavor. There are lectures from adventurists, sportsmen, scientists, war survivors, businessmen, handicapped people and entrepreneurs. And thankfully there are videos with subtitles in 90 languages.

Duolingo:

It is an awesome app through which you can learn several languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian and many others. It’s not only an effective interactive tutorial for language learning but also you enjoy much while learning from it. You will certainly be able to understand little conversations. If any of your friend is planning to go to Germany or France for study or any language that is come in app domain, do recommend this app.

These three apps were also listed as the best Google Apps of 2014 and Duolingo was remained the most downloaded app on the Play Store in 2014.

Android Auto: Expect Your In-Car System To Get a Whole Lot Smarter

There has been a good bit of buzz about Android Auto ever since its announcement at Google I/O 2014. Initially, the mention of Android Auto may have given people the impression that this was another addition along the lines of Android TV. Clearly, this is an entirely different game.

While Android TV is an embedded OS, Android Auto is an additional layer on the car’s own infotainment system. To put it simply, it is Google’s way of embellishing your car with the goodness of Android operating system.

How it all Works

Android Auto requires the projection of a compatible Android device, smartphone or tablet, on the display in your car. Note that this is done when the device is actually plugged into the car using a micro-USB cable. Then, it’s just you and your device behind the wheel set for a long drive.

Your Voice Is Its Command

The framework of Android Auto accommodates voice control. Regardless of whether one opts to use touchscreen or a button and knob method to operate, it works quite effectively. The best in class speech technology incorporated in the system allows convenient and speedy access to everything. Simply say it and you’ll get it.

Plethora of apps

Google has made sure that you have enough apps to accompany you on your journey. A wide range of apps from music apps to maps promise to serve you well on the road. It is indeed a great way to access the world while having your eyes locked on the road ahead of you.

Move to Android

Normally, infotainment systems in cars are based on Linux, QNX or Windows CE. The move to Android means that the operating system on top of the inforainment system has a whole lot more to offer. It is the kind of stuff one normally wishes to have in such a platform. This varies from wide-ranged connectivity support to a thorough voice commands system and Google Maps Navigation. Certainly, the open platform also means that there is much greater developer support that allows access to a wide variety of apps.

Android Auto: Shaping the Automotive future

This journey doesn’t just end here as far as infotainment is concerned. The advent of the car platform paves way for vehicle to infrastructure as well as vehicle to vehicle communication. Given the associated risks with driving, collision avoidance systems may well be part of the parcel. There is no reason why we shouldn’t witness features such as these in the near future. All in all, the future for car platform looks squeaky clean.

Top Tech Terms of 2014 You Need to Know in 2015

In ever evolving tech world, sometimes it becomes difficult to stay up to date with latest nags and terms. Though many of us are aware of commonly used social media new words such as selfie, emoji, hashtag etc. but still many of us hardly know about the terms that are becoming mainstream in the intensifying world of technology. It is also lucrative to recognize some of these terms as it can be helpful in a job interview or in a discussion. The Internet of Things: The Internet of Things aka IoT is the concept that relates idea of connecting various home appliances such as doors, refrigerators, air conditioners through a main server and make an embedded connection that allows to share data within these appliances. Extended theory of IoT suggests to make connection between all living and nonliving things so that a normal person don’t have to be log in to computer to transfer data and to get connected. To handle this large amount of data, terms like high-speed internet, industrial internet and big data are emerging so that one can maneuver things accordingly. Big Data: Internet users are increasing with every single moment so is the amount of content on the internet. On the parallel, the amount of data on the PCs and smartphones is also multiplying many fold and are the bytes of data on each server. Considering the amount of data that is beyond imagination of a common man, old fashioned data management replaces with big data analytics that includes the data management related to business transactions, content that is being created on social media, data extracted from scientific computational research, surveillance and so on. LTE: LTE is called long term evolution commonly marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals, since 3G and 4G are going ubiquitous all over the world, we need to understand the related terms. G is for generation. The goal of LTE was to increase the capacity and speed of wireless data networks. Augmented Reality: It is the virtually designed computational world in which a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment’s elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. You can call it a cyber-physical system which enhances the real world scene through superimposed graphics. One example of it that retailers are currently experimenting with augmented reality to get more customers into the stores by allowing shoppers to see the clothes on them without having to actually try them on. Selfie: And last but not the least the word selfie which had been added in the Oxford dictionary last year. 2014 has been remained a selfie year and the craze of selfies didn’t only overshadow the people but also the mainstream celebrities. Many smartphone companies in the start of 2014, referred the year 2014 to be a selfie year and focused on releasing the handsets with accordingly powerful front cameras which turned out to be a productive marketing slogan. Facebook and Instagram remained on top in selfie sharing.

VLC Player For iOS Returning To App Store Very Soon, Confirms Developer

VLC for iOS is returning to the App Store very soon according to the lead developer for the iPhone, iPad and OS X version of the video player. More details to follow, after the jump.

VLC is by far one of the most versatile video players out there on every major platform, including OS X and iOS. Having been on the iOS App Store for some time now and running videos on a plethora of devices, the app was pulled from the store this September, following the release of iOS 8.

That said, Felix Paul Kuehne, the lead developer of VLC on iOS and OS X, in response to a consumer’s complaint about the continual absence of the app has tweeted that the app should be reaching us "hopefully quite soon". In another response to a question on a VLC forum post, Kuehne explained that "It will be again, but probably early next year due to the iTunes Connect holiday shutdown." Where ‘it’ would be the VLC player for iOS.

When the popular video player went missing back in September, VLC did not offer any explanation for the sudden disappearance, making a very vague statement that the company was working with Apple on a solution towards bringing the app back onto the App Store. It still remains unclear if there were compatibility constraints with iOS 8.0 or was it some legal issue.

VLC however did announce the launch of a semi-public TestFlight beta trial of the updated version of the VLC player for iOS in early December, and just recently the developers have released the TestFlight beta 2 version of the the app with further improvements to the original update.

VLC player for iOS has never been that feature rich video player with an array of customizations, and even the aesthetics and the interface of the app leave a lot to be desired. What it does manage effectively however, is the playback of almost every other video format you throw at it.

If formats are not your concern, there are a bunch of other free media players out there which will easily substitute VLC on your iPhone or iPad.
