Evernote – Probably the best way to note down things

I have this habit of noting down all the interesting things I see here and there so that I can think on it afterwards in my free time. I was looking for something which I can use on my laptop as well as on my Android and which is also quick and easy to use. In past I had heard of Evernote from one of my friend so decided to give it a try and here is what I saw.

Evernote is available for iPhones, Android devices, Windows phones and Windows-based desktops as well. After downloading the app and quickly registering for a free Evernote account I started creating notes on my phone to test this app and as I was creating notes on my phone I can see it was getting uploaded on the Evernote server. Evernote is not only about storing text files and uploading it to the cloud. One can do a lot more than this.

Saw something worth noting down? Simply click it and store it using Evernote. Sitting in a lecture or seminar and need to note down all the points quickly? It can record audio clips as well and upload it instantly so that you can get access to it from your PC any time. You can even add location to your notes so that you can easily remember where you noted the stuff, add tags to notes so that you can easily sort them later on. See this video.

It also allows you to create check lists, do basic text formatting, insert bullets and numbering to your notes and built-in support to share notes on Facebook. Almost everything you will ever need in a mobile text editor. I didn’t find the desktop version as cool as its mobile variant. It took me some time to get used to it. I had to literally look around the window to find buttons. It would be better if they can improve the user interface. A little more clean and intuitive user interface will do the magic.

Apart from this I really think it is a nice app and will surely be very useful for people using other text editors on mobile . Give it a try. Below is the link to download page of this app. One can download and run this app on variety of platforms. And if at all you don’t wish to install the client on any of your device you can always use it via your web browser.

How to Root almost any Android phone in 2 mins

Rooting is not limited to only tech-savvy guys any more. Any one with little or no knowledge can do this with number of easy-to-use tools available on the net. Unlock root is one such free software which can root almost any android phone available in the market. All you will require is a data cable for your phone, device drivers and a Windows PC.

First of all install drivers for your mobile phone. If you haven’t done this yet you can do it using the CD provided by your mobile manufacturer or look on the net to download related drivers.

After installing the drivers download Unlock root from here.
Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.
Your device must be in USB Debugging mode. To turn it on, in your android phone – go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the box.
Run the app and click on the Root button. It will show you the list of android devices connected to your PC. Select your device and it will take care of the rest. It will take around 2-3 mins to complete the process. Wait until you see the “rooting finished” message in the left bottom corner of the window.

Watch this video to see the exact process.

Rooting voids your phone’s warranty and you may brick your phone (chances are pretty less). Though you can unroot your phone any time and get back the warranty. I have tried this on two of my phones and it worked smoothly. At any point of time if you feel like unrooting the phone you can simply do it by following the same process. Just press the “Unroot” button this time.
