The Exasperated Man

I never thought I would be writing a review for an application in android. But this one was so beautiful and elegant, that I felt compelled to write one. I have always craved for a file manager in Android that lets me treat my mobile device, not so mobile. The mobile methodology of file browsing through trees or lists was not effective in managing files effectively. I found it cumbersome to use and tried my best to avoid file browsing in the phone. Why can’t Android have a traditional file manager like Windows Explorer, or like Linux file managers (Thunar, Nautilus, Nemo etc.), which would make file browsing a lot easier on a mobile device? And thus came FX file explorer, on a search in Google Play. Boy was I happy. Traditional window management, zoom in and zoom out of icons to make them bigger or smaller, built in text editor, bookmarks at the top, search bar for instant file search, script runner and root file browser, were all the things that made this ...

Disclaimer: This guide is for XOLO Q800 with the MTK6589  chipsets. For users with MTK6589M , the results may vary. I took some of this information all over the INTERNET.

Eg, In Picsart Photo Studio, open camera, select some scene mode other than auto and Voila! the camera works fine. UPDATE : Android XOLO Q800 (or any Jelly bean phone for that matter) continuously restarts after installing LBE Privac...

UPDATE: Whatever is written below applies for the Xolo Q800 phones with MTK6589 chipsets. The Q800s with  MTK6589M chipsets may or may not qualify for what is written down here. (I think that the phones which costed less than 12k have the MTK6589M chipsets. ) Android smartphones are everywhere these days. They run the latest operating system and they are all identical. You try out different brands and they all have the same android. At the time of this blog post, it is Jelly bean. So, what makes a smartphone different from another. They all have IPS screens, HD playback, ble... all sorts of common stuff. Difference? Xolo Q800 is a smartphone and here is where the difference is. 1. There are absolutely no bloatware in the device. The device is pure stock Jelly bean. There is one app called Xolo care which just sits silently in the corner helping you to check updates to the operating system and contact customer care. Too bad I don't ...
