Joomla and J Admin Mobile
As some may be aware, I recently migrated my websites from Wordpress to Joomla. This transition has gone extremely well over all.
I found myself lacking one thing though, the ability to manage the sites and post content (in a draft form) from my mobile devices.
Well, that problem has been solved with J Admin Mobile for Android.
Google+ as I see it
Well, I’ve been on Google+ for coming on 5 days now. As it stands I think there is a lot of potential when it becomes more widely available.
The biggest issue I see with it at present, is the fact that it’s a requirement to have a Gmail account. Though this may only be a beta limitation.
However, as such it does seem a little quiet around Google+ in comparison to the likes of twitter and Facebook because most of my Facebook contacts don’t have Gmail accounts so I can’t invite them to join.
Trialing Dolphin Browser HD
I downloaded and installed the Dolphin Browser HD from http://blog.dolphin-browser.com/2011/05/17/dolphin-browser-hd-v5-0-beta1-comes-to-public/ on my Android.
I have to say, initial thoughts are I am impressed. The browser kind of reminds me of chrome, which I use daily under Linux.
Loading speeds appear to be pretty quick and I love the tabbed browsing and the ability to store more stuff on the SD card is a nice addition.
if you’re looking for a good alternative browser for your Android, I suggest you check it out.
Swype Keyboard on Telecom GT I5503T Android 2.2
I have successfully updated my Telecom Samsung Galaxy GT i5503T to Android 2.2 via the Kies application.
The firmware upgrade went very smoothly with no real issues. Well, Except one. The Swype keyboard stopped working and my phone simply vibrated frantically and I couldn’t type anything. I switched the input back to the Samsung Keyboard and instantly hated it.
Frustrated I started playing around and managed to stumble upon a fix for the Swype Keyboard.
Go into your Settings > Application > Manage Applications and select the “ALL” tab at the top of the screen.
Scroll down to Swype and tap it. You will then be taken to a screen where you’ll get one active option to “Clear Data”
Simply Tap the “Clear Data” button then you can go back to the Language and Keyboard settings where you can setup the Swype Keyboard, and again change the Input back to Swype.
Worked like a dream, I’m now back on Swype and running Android 2.2 on my Telecom Samsung Galaxy GT i5503T.
