We have shown you how to bypass and reset your Android lockscreen before on this blog, but this post in particular is about the Galaxy S3. The S3 is one of the most popular phones out there, and it also has some very particular exploits that can enable you to bypass the lockscreen entirely, in addition to the aforementioned methods that will allow you to reset your lockscreen. These methods in particular vary by the version and update you may have installed in your mobile, so please keep in mind that it may not work on your device if you have the latest updates, as this is an exploit actively being patched out by Samsung. So, without further ado, here’s how to do it:

One of the best features of Android is how easy it is to customize it to your needs. Being able to select how you want to launch your apps, or how the OS should look is a killer feature, and among all the possible customization options, replacing the keyboard is one of the simpler ones, but which can drastically change how you interact with your phone. The stock keyboard is pretty good, especially if you’re on Jellybean which supports native gesture typing, but why not try something new? Today, I’ll run down through some of my favorite keyboards, going through their features and letting you know if it may be right for you. So, without further ado, here we go:

This week saw the release of Google Keep, a Google-made note-taking service, and it comes with a very nice looking, powerful Android app that you can download right now and give it a whirl. Android has lacked a note-taking app since release, with users instead relying on external services like Colornote, Evernote, and so on. Google has finally made an official app, that integrates with Google Drive as well, and you can access it through this link, allowing you to make new notes, see the notes you’ve made through the Android app and organize your current notes.

I have tried a lot of web browsers on my Android devices over the years, the quality ranging from abysmal to just plain useful. The stock browser that comes with Android does a pretty fine job, and also manages to support Flash and not have any major compatibility problems, but the UI sucks (it gets better if you activate radial menus, but still) and it tends to be somewhat unstable and heavy on my devices. Google Chrome for Android is also a decent choice, but as of yet it seems to be too slow and memory hungry, and also borders on unresponsiveness a lot of the time, most noticeably on heavy pages. It has been getting better and it is regularly updated, but it still doesn’t qualify as my main browser.

AirDroid is one of those apps that I just can’t seem to go without these days. It’s incredibly useful, and everyone I show it to also seems to want to use it. In very broad terms, AirDroid basically acts like a interface between your Android device and your computer, all through a web browser. What this means is that you are able to remotely interact with your Android smartphone or tablet, as long as the Android device and the computer are connected to the same network. It sounds a bit complicated, but believe me, nothing could be simpler.
