Samsung Cares for Android.

Don't let yourself be fooled by the title of this post. In fact, Samsung posted an app to Google Play that serves as a support hub. While there's only an app for Android for the time being, both Windows Phone and Android users will be able to use the app for online support. Samsung Cares provide how-to videos, FAQs, troubleshooting guides. So yes you'll find answers to issues for Android, Windows Phone and Samsung tablets. What that means is that Windows Phone users must have an Android device to access support for their phones.

The app does offer useful info for all devices branded Samsung, ranging from smartphones, TVs, home appliances, computers. Android and Windows Phone are listed under the Mobile category. If your issues are not listed in the app, you will be able to directly call a phone number based in the US. The design is great, but unfortunately it does not support landscape mode. So it's kind of difficult to read the entire title of the video or FAQ title.

Anyway, the app can be downloaded free using the link below. For Windows Phone users, I suggest you wait for a Windows Phone version of the app or buy a Android.

Overall it's nice that Samsung cares for its customers. Can't wait for the iOS version. Lol.

Evernote 4.0 for Android released with redesigned UI & loads of features.

Evernote 4.0 is the latest major update of the app on Android platform. The app now boasts a new intuitive user interface and powerful features.

New Home Screen
First thing users will notice is the new Home screen. The latter is very user friendly; the home screen now displays big buttons that take you directly into notebooks, tags and places. If Location services are enabled on your device, Evernote will assign to each note that you create to your location and you'll be able to sort/group your notes by location.

Single View
Note and Notebook list has also been revamped so they can be viewed in a single view. No need to sync back and forth between your own notes and those shared with you by others.

Contextual Action Bars
Evernote 4.0 also includes new contextual action bars that appear at the bottom of the screen. If you're viewing a note, the bar will display such tools as Edit, Share or Tag.

Easy Reading
Reading a note should not take its toll on your eyes. With that in mind, the new Evernote will hide all the navigation tools as you start reading a note and go into full-screen mode. Tap the screen to go back into editing mode. With devices getting bigger screens, this feature makes reading a pleasure.
