--------------
Kindly post your review after update, specially (mine is here)

- Any add/Removal of SW - Didn,t mark still
N Any other issue if you have after update

Edit : Now You can see on Kies


Just for Information purpose :
If you are updating over Kies
- It is advisable to backup your data, even after updating over Kies You will not loss your data/applications
- It is advisable to turn Data connection off during update process (I got recurrant disconnect from kies, after data swichoff , no error, what my logic is, I have some application which sync(yahoo mail) n saving data to SD card, in that case it may get disconnected, anyway itz just wat i believe.)
- Root will be lost
- Total time - 1st wizard complete in 2 min to collect updating information, 2nd process(Firmware ugrade), first 0-69% will download require data(554Mb app), n that time depends on your internet connection, 69%-85% and 85-100% will decrypt binnnary files, which takes 2 min. Then phone will restart, downloading to phone will take < 10 min. So keep patience.
- To regain Root just follow method 1 (16nov edit). It will take < 5 min to Root
- CF Root n CWM for KL3 available, you can get it from here.
- If you getting error on Gtalk/Market after update, just go to setting-application-all - select Market- clear data, same repeat for Talk (Google talk)

So wat are you actually getting after update?

It seems nothing on first sight, But only thing i have pointed out after 2 hrs of use is 'battery management'. If it only the benifit we getting, still worth to update.


here it looks after update

Facebook for Android gets an Update

Facebook for Android smartphones gets a facelift with better Looks, Speed, Better UI and something totally Different and new. They say that apps for Android are old models and cannot compete with the Apple apps for twitter and facebook. Who would say it after getting their hands on the totally new and rocking upgrades.


The upgrade is given the version 1.8.0.
As soon as its updated, you can opt to view a small tour which gives you a lil' info about what it is.


The pic you see below is the menu. You get all that you want from your profile to the friends list to the groups you are in and the pages you have liked. There is a search bar on the top of the menu which allows you to search for anything like people, pages, groups etc with ease.



There are three icons on the top as visible in the pic below. The first one shows if you have any new friend requests, the second one directs you to messages and the third one is for the notifications. Now the interesting part is the way these are made. Sweet. Just click on any one of them and you get a small window which shows the latest things like the requests, notifications and messages which opens on top of your original page. So you wont have to go back looking for where you were before you went to the notifications page. Look at the screenshot below.


 The facebook app has always been slow on usual 2G networks but this one beats all the critics of Facebook app for Android. Try it to feel it.


Catch me on Facebook

Twitter for Android gets an Update

The new look of official Twitter client for Android smart phones is rocking and making its way on all the phones with Android operating system. The new look of the app looks like a superb and BIG update. From a usual normal look so a full proof update.

Here are some screen shots of what I have seen till now.
The mentions have been replaced with Connect as you can see in the screenshot. The Navbar contains the timeline which is called Home, then Connect which gives options at the bottom to see all interactions which shows youe RT's, people who have followed you etc and mentions which show the tweets in which you are mentioned.


#Discover has been newly added which shows the trends and a lil' information about the trending topics.. Roll down for seeing all the trending topics.


I Loved the compose new tweet 'icon' on the top right which gets you to this page. and when you click the @ symbol at the bottom it shows you the list of all the people you follow. 


Me: The last option on the navbar takes you to your profile which shows you the direct messages, drafts (saved tweets), lists you have been following/created, if you use multiple accounts you can switch accounts and settings.





Twitter has been added to the photo upload service.












Happy Tweeting :-)
