Samsung flexible AMOLED displays delayed, Galaxy Note 3 maybe

For some time now we’ve been following the progress of Samsung’s flexible AMOLED displays dubbed Youm. We were hoping to have seen these new screens used by now and at one time it seemed possible they may appear on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Note II). However this didn’t come to fruition and it now appears that these flexible AMOLED displays have now been delayed. You never know though, they may finally make a debut on the Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy S4.

Samsung originally planned the YOUMflexible displays to arrive in Q3 this year but it has now been reported that the mass production has met with a problem. In a way though this isn’t an issue for Samsung as its regular glass AMOLED displays are still proving extremely popular and sales of these hasn’t slowed, hence the delay of the flexible displays. The Galaxy S3 has been a phenomenal hit for Samsung and uses a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a 5.5-inch version also following to the Galaxy Note 2. Indeed rather than production of these AMOLED displays being reduced, Samsung has actually increased it instead to keep up with demand.

LG Spectrum Android ICS 4.0.4 OTA update, huge changes

We have been reporting a lot recently of Android hardware being treated to the Jelly Bean update, but a lot of devices are still waiting to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich with some handsets being left stuck on Gingerbread. Today we have news of the LG Spectrum Android ICS 4.0.4 OTA update, which brings some huge changes.

It was a few months ago now since LG officially said that it would update the Spectrum to Android 4.0, but the months went by without any sign of the new software. Now though as Droid Life are reporting the Android 4.0.4 update has been approved by Verizon for release.

Pinch To Unlock Your LockScreen

Pinch to unlock is a new jailbreak tweak that gives you alternate way of unlocking your lockscreen. If you are willing to change the old way of swiping or sliding the bottom of your lock screen you can install this new Cydia jailbreak tweak and unlock your lockscreen by just pinching you two fingers in either direction i.e. to inside or outside the same way in which we zoom in and zoom out the screens. Although this is a new way but I feel it is difficult as well because in the classical way you are using only one finger to slide to unlock now you will need two fingers means you may need to use both hands so this seems a little hasty but good news you are not loosing the slide to unlock function so you can use either way of unlocking. This becomes more useful especially on iPad because you don't need to move at the bottom of the screen instead you can any place for easy unlocking the screen.

If your device is jailbroken you can install pinch to unlock tweak very easily by just searching in the Cydia, this tweak is provided free by ModMyi repository.

If your device is not jailbroken you can jailbreak by visiting our jailbreak guides for iOS 6.0 & iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak.

Have a look at below video for more details on how this Cydia tweak works.
