With all the little improvements that Apple made to iOS 7, some older features have been changed or moved (and sometimes, it's not obvious).

Rooting is usually the first thing on the to-do list whenever one of us softModders gets a new Android device. Unfortunately our efforts are sometimes hindered by certain obstacles; a common one is a locked bootloader.

Big bad Apple recently announced its next iterations of iPhones and the world went crazy—as usual. Displaying an array of cool colors and futuristic features, the new iPhone 5S and 5C will both be rocking iOS 7, a sleek, modern operating system that gets rid of the old icons and glossy finish for a more flat and contemporary design.

You don't need to be a robot to be overly concerned with battery life, especially if we're talking about Terminators, which have nuclear or hydrogen fuel cells that keep them running for years straight.

Tony Stark is a smooth talking, genius billionaire playboy that occasionally saves the world... what's not to like? The Marvel films starring Robert Downey, Jr. have grossed well over a billion dollars in the U.S. alone, so it's needless to say that Iron Man is a very popular superhero.

Like many other smartphones, the HTC One has a few capacitive keys on the bottom of the device, but that's the problem. It only has a few keys, meaning two, which are the Back and Home keys.

Many people all around the world have been using Korean Anycall Galaxy S (SHW-m110s), because the price is reasonable and easy to used. But after they buy this phone they always saw two clocks in the front screen while the phone locked, one is Local clock and the second is Seoul clock. The most of the user always want to remove it but they can't do it, now I'll show you how to remove it step by step.

If you're a dedicated Instagrammer, you're probably well aware of the humblebrag hashtag #NoFilter, which expresses to other users that your photo is just so damn awesome that it looks like you added filters to it, even though you really didn't.

Ringing and vibrating alerts on your smartphone can be a bit distracting when you're at work or school, but silent alerts can be a little too subtle if you want to know when you get a notification. Even the tiny LED alerts can be easily missed. So, is there's something in-between loud and almost-not-there alerts?

If you're a Twitter user, it's a safe bet to assume that you've used a hashtag. On all social networking sites that have the capability, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Google+, the pound (#) symbol is used to mark and designate specific keywords or topics in order to make it effortless for users to connect with one another.

If you turned on your HTC One for the first time and wondered what that weird icon that looks like an N is, it indicates that NFC is on. It seems strange to me that HTC wanted to waste Status bar space on an NFC indicator, but sometimes we just have to deal with it.

Okay, I have an old Korg Nano Keyboard Mini Controller. I'm wondering if it's possible to use this as a base to build a more functional midi controller, i.e. replace a few keys with rotary knobs to make it more compatible with what I want to control in my CrossDJ software. If so, could someone direct me to a site or book/information on how to do it? I haven't torn it yet, so I'm not sure what kind of wiring goes to each key or what kind of wiring is needed to hook up to a rotary control. Thanks...

If you've never played with a Nexus 10 tablet, then you probably have no idea that your Nexus 7 actually has a different user interface. For some reason, Google decided it was better for the Nexus 7 to use a phone UI instead of a tablet one, but luckily for us, we don't have to accept that.

He... my S4 was very lag when I turn on the camera. Why it become like this and how to fix it? It takes more than 5 seconds to open the camera.

For the most part, transferring files from your computer to your Nexus 7 (and vice versa) is a simple process. Just hook up your tablet to your computer with the USB cable and transfer. However, most of the time you'll need additional software on your computer to do this, and then, of course, you need the USB cable.

I Read Your Submission On ""Rooting the Galaxy S3 (for Mac Users). It Was Very Interesting Indeed. I Recently Bought a Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N, Ver. 4.1.2) and Realise That My External 32 Gb SD Is Useless Unless My Device Is Rooted....and Many Other Such Disadvantages.My question to You Is: Does the Motochopper Rooting Work for a s3 Mini Too?
