Its been almost more than a week since, Google has come up with some updates. And now it has come up with some major updates, that too for YouTube, Google Play Music and Hangouts. Lets see what these updates are: First we'll start with YouTube, new update comes in with version 5.9.0.10 from 5.7. And about the update, today's' update brings a few new tricks to the table. Given the rather large version number jump, one would expect a major increase in user-facing features. This, however, is unfortunately not the case. That said, there are tweaks to Playlist handling, including a new “View All” playlists button in the “hamburger” slide-out menu that takes you to all of your playlists. Once there (or anywhere else with a playlist), you can now click on the three button context menu for that playlist and either save or share it.

As the Motorola has finally launched its base level phone, the Moto G, in many countries about a week ago and while using the phone, suddenly just got ma eyes on phone's notification LED. Infact it doesn't work at all, and there's no software switch for it anywhere in the Settings app. Emails, texts and missed calls all failed to trigger the flashing white LED, nor could we use third-party apps like LightFlow to activate it. The problem occurred as a side effect of restoring from your Google account to the Moto G, which is part of the setup process for the phone. The feature downloads apps and settings from the cloud, which is usually a good thing. But in some instances it can tell the Moto G to restore the notification LED setting from another phone, leaving the light disabled with no way to re-enable it. For solving this issue Motorola has launched a widget that lets you toggle the notification light on and off, so if you're affected by this bug simply do...

One of  the most popular messaging service Imo has just added a new feature today that helps friends meet up. Th feature is named as People Near ME and the idea is not not a newly designed one, but still its an important addition to this popular app. The app basically works on your GPS location and when you open the page you can see other users with opened app to that page who is in a specific radius. The feature will show profiles of nearby friends, but also of nearby users that are not in your contacts list. The developers are planning this more towards befriending people who you've met in person and just want to swap contact info, say at a concert or social event, but you could theoretically add friends and start chatting with complete strangers, if you both wish to do so. It's an interesting way to swap contact data considering the other options like using NFC, Bluetooth or something like Bump, but the final result should be same. Update Imo From Play Store

And at last the CyanogenMod has just launched its installer app in the Play Store. You will also need other things rather than just phone in order to get through the process. You'll still need a Windows PC (running Vista or later) and a good USB cable to get your phone flashed with CyanogenMod, which adds another wrinkle of complication to the process. The combination of apps on your phone and computer should make it pretty simple though, provided your phone is on the list of compatible devices. AS the app doesn't do much by its own, but still you can grab it from the Play Store and  if you are willing to download the software on your PC and move through the process to bring CM to your device.

As far as heard the all new Google Nexus 5 is almost ready with the new Kitikat. Its been a while since we have started hearing about the Android 4.4 Kitkat but we haven't heard much about the major changes that differentiate Kitkat from Jelly Bean. Fragmentation   As we all know that Google is well aware of the fragmentation issue. But the fact is that one need only go so far as the Android Developers Dashboard to see the distribution of different OS versions and API levels. First the party apps such as Gmail and Maps were moved to the Play Store and updated accordingly. Next, Google added Google Play Services and provided devices running Gingerbread and up access to some of the latest libraries. And for now Google is also tackling fragmentation by making the OS work better on entry-level devices with as little as half a gig of RAM.
