LG Optimus L9 Ownership Review & Specs

When I was in my car one day I heard about a promotion going on at my local cell phone provider location. The promotion not only included a great plan rate but also gave me the option to get an android phone on tab at a discounted price. My options were LG Optimus L9 and Sony Xperia M. I decided to go with the LG Optimus L9 because frankly speaking the Xperia M was out of stock and i had to wait 1 week if I wanted the Xperia M,satisfied with my selection of the LG Optimus L9, I took the phone on my way home and started downloading apps with my 4G data which came with my plan, and this phone did pretty great at performing at high speeds as it is 4G capable. After downloading the first 25 apps, such as my social apps as well as some school related apps, I was surprised to find out that I couldn't download anymore apps because my 4GB of internal storage was filled with software updates and I only had 1.2 GB of internal storage. Of course you can move some apps to SD card which I did but most big apps cannot be moved to external storage. Annoyed by that I inserted my SD card and started moving apps and also started taking pictures. The camera quality is amazing and I cannot lie. This phone has a 5MP with LED flash and it does record 1080p HD video. You can my recorded videos at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI1Evh2EdLHaDehDD0e0rdg/videos , all videos are recorded by this phone. However the front camera is 0.3MP and is horrible quality, makes everything look dull and dark. The front camera really annoyed me considering my older iPad's front camera is better quality. There are some other things that annoyed me so I will break it down for what I like and what annoyed me below.

Cons

• 1GHZ Dual Core Processor which is extremely slow and apps like Instagram make it crash over and over. 
• Horrible front camera.
• Screenshot feature - the screenshot button is the volume down and power, either the phone sleeps or the volume turns down. Take note that LG Quick Memo is volume up and power, so that does the job but there will be a watermark saying LG Quick Memo which is horrible. 
• After 1 month of ownership, the battery life started getting worse. 
• Camera app takes forever to open. 
• Doesn't come with earphones. 

Pros

• Amazing back camera capable of taking great quality pictures and filming in full HD
• Sleek design, fits in hand easily. 
• Gorilla Glass 2 
• LG Apps, Themes and options 

Features:

1. Android 4.1.2 Jellybean Operating System 
2. 4G HSPA+ Capable 
3. 4.5" Gorilla Glass 2 Touchscreen 
4. 1GHZ Dual Core Processor 
5. Internal Memory: 4GB
6. Weight 120g
7. 5MP Camera with LED flash, 0.3 MP front camera 
8. WiFi/Bluetooth

Well that's it for this post. Hope you got some information out of this. 

iPhone 5S and 5C

 

The long awaited day has came where the iPhone 5S and 5C were announced. Apple announced today of their new fascinating devices. But who will these phones attract, the common white girls with white iPhones? The business men? Or just regular people like you and I? Since iPhone 4 came out, I dont see a change in the looks of the iPhone's except the fact that some are longer than the other and some thinner. The software has changed but nothing surprised me. Its the same iPhone just made rounder or smaller and Apple seems to do that every time. The specs seem good but the view of people towards it don't go too well with what Apple is saying. Well of course we have yet to test it our before buying or just to say anything in general but before that lets take a look at the specs.

How To Get Free Apps On Android Without Rooting!

Another reason why Android is a better OS is because you don't have to jailbreak to get free stuff like you would on iOS. Hello and welcome to the long awaited post on this blog: How To Get Free Apps on Android. The answer to this question is really simple and can be done using 1 of 2 methods. So my friend, without any further adieu, here is how to get free apps on your Android regardless of which android you use.

Option 1:Using just your phone.

1. Go to your phones browser, doesn't matter if its the default browser or a downloaded browser. 
2. Go to Google.com
3. Place .apk after the app you want to search, for example; if you would like to download Snapchat, then go to Google and type snapchat.apk.
4. Open one of the many results, such as 4Shared
5. Download the app and open it, it will open the installer and now you have the app. 

Option 2:Using the computer and your phone. 

1. Open your desktop internet browser. 
2. Go to Google.com
3. Place .apk after the app you want to search, for example; if you would like to download Snapchat, then go to Google and type snapchat.apk.
4. Connect your phone and put it into USB MODE
5. Open your browsers download folder and move the .apk to your phone
6. Unplug your phone, open the FILES and find the .apk file.
7. Open the app and install.

There you go folks, this method is fast and it works. Not only will it get you free apps, you can also bypass any app restrictions your parents or anyone else has set on GooglePlay. Also, GooglePlay says an app is incompatible with your phone; use this method to download the latest apps that you think might work.
