How to Enable Google Services on Nokia X & How to Enable Multitasking



One of the trade-offs of going with forked Android with the Nokia X line-up was that google services would not be accessible on the phone.



A second trade-off in the Nokia X design and working is that technically it doesn’t allow multitasking ( but will relaunch an app from a frozen state if you start it up again). Thankfully there’s a simple fix to that which allows you to navigate between apps quickly; once again here’s a guide + Video:

Nokia’s next firmware to be dubbed ‘Blue for Windows Phone 8.1?

In the next few months, Nokia is expected to release a forthcoming firmware update for their Lumia line. That should be no secret as we’re also expecting an OS update called Windows Phone 8.1. Firmware helps make your phone’s hardware better, and it’s very specific to your device. The OS though is general.

Microsoft’s Choice: X or Asha?



With the sale of Nokia’s devices and services division coming to a close near the end of April, Microsoft stands to gain control of the Lumia lineup as well as both the Ashas and the X lineup. Meaning that Microsoft have some difficult decisions ahead of them, namely which lineup should carry on as the low end device from Nokia/Microsoft.

It’s no secret that the Asha lineup is slowly dying, they were once successful, but the Asha OS based off of Smarterphone, as well S40 have become cumbersome to maintain and simply outdated. Asha sales globally have begun to slip and what little ground Nokia gained in the high end smartphone market with Lumias these past two years, they’ve begun to lose that in the low-end. Enter the X; Nokia finally gave what most tech reviewers and consumers have been asking for over the past two years, an Android Nokia. However it’s not the one many of us high end smartphone users wanted, or would even consider; but it was an obvious push to regain the market-share that the Asha’s have begun to give up. Early signs of the Nokia X show a favorable outcome (and hopefully we’ll see some decent sale numbers), especially since the other two members of the family, the X+ and the XL are yet to be released.

On the other hand Nokia X is essentially running Android, and no matter how you spin it; whether you call it “Linux open source” or a “stepping stone to Lumias” it’s still not running a Microsoft OS, or even a neutral one, it’s plain out running a competitors OS. All the while Microsoft are scrambling for every bit of market-share they can get, even if it means dual booting their OS onto Android phones. Regardless of how dedicated Microsoft is to their own platform OS (although it doesn’t seem that way sometimes) it won’t sit right with them & others if they’re pushing their competitors OS (and it will probably sell better than their own OS as well).

With the Nokia X and XL set to launch around the same time as the Nokia/Microsoft deal closes, I can see Microsoft allowing the three X devices to run their product lives, slowly ramping down availability with time, provided they don’t want to pursue the Android course that is; but what about the promise of “More X devices to come”? Would Microsoft shut down a successful and profitable division of their devices sector and stick with a slowly fading line (Asha) to save face? Or will they continue to use it as a way to “push” users to Lumias and Microsoft services, while making some $$$ along the way?

Nokia pushes out updates for Extras + Info and Nokia Care

Nokia has pushed out more updates for consumers today. The company has released new versions for both Extras + Info and Nokia Care system apps on Lumia Windows Phones. The apps have been bumped to version 3.7.1.16 and 3.1.0.4 respectively.

What's new in these updates? We're not entirely sure (and yes, we understand how some of you sigh when reading that phrase in these articles) as the change logs appear to be either out of date or accurate. Either way, we'll assume there are minor fixes and improvements included.

Check for updates for Extras + Info and Nokia Care on the Windows Phone Store. If you don't have SysApp Pusher installed, we strongly urge you to download the app.

Nokia video says Nokia is bored of those complaining about lack of apps in Nokia X speed reader challenge.



There’s an interesting post that appeared on Reddit some time ago showing a new way to speed read. By flashing a story one word at a time, your eyes aren’t travelling. They just recognizing words and not reading in your head either. So you ‘read’ much faster.
