Today, we found a new trick which allows you to updates your Google+ status via text message. With the help of this trick you can easily share your post on your Google+ circles. The trick is pretty simple and doesn’t need any third-party application or any other addon. All you have to activate Google+ SMS service on your account and you are ready to go. Once the service is enabled on your account you can send commands from your mobile phone like to Share a post publicly use this command Add +public to your post etc. The commands are available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, Swahili, Indonesian, and Thai.

We tested this service on our mobile number and it works pretty fine. Let’s Take a Look how this will work on the Google+ and how to activate your phone for Google+ SMS.

Go to your Google+ Profile and login with your username and password. After that go to your Google+ account setting or visit your Google+ Settings page here. On the Setting page enter your mobile number by clicking the Add Phone Number link. Once the phone number is added on your account, you will receive a text message with your verification code on your mobile phone,enter that code into the space provided and select the Confirm button.

Now from the same setting page check the “Allow posting by SMS” option, Now Google+ will provide you a unique 10 digit phone number which you can use to start posting updates via SMS. See the screenshot below:-

That’s it , now you can start posting Google+ update from your phone number. (Note:- Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply.) To know more about the SMS service and commands to post go to the Google+ SMS page here.

Recently at Google I/O event which was held at Moscone Center, San Francisco, Google announced major changes to Android and announced the next version of Android named ‘L’, the full name of L is yet to be announced. as per the rumours it might be and most possibly it’ll be Android Lollipop, It sounds really bad! ok so getting back to the post and let me show you the all new Android L keyboard which is thankfully posted to Play Store by a developer named ‘Shen Ye’.

Kudos to him for bringing this keyboard to other android devices without rooting  

For getting this keyboard all you’ve to do is to head over to the Play Store and download this Android L keyboard to your phone. after Installing this keyboard just change your Input methods by going to ‘Language and Input’ and then select the Android L Keyboard as default.

Processing and Storage:  It features the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz along with 2 GB of RAM. for enhancing the graphical performance of M8, HTC has included the Adreno 330 GPU. so the M8 is definitely a beast in terms of processing too. the new HTC One is available in two variant i.e. 16 GB and the 32 GB version and for your surprise you can expand the storage with a micro SD card up to whooping 128 GB! well that’s huge, and you will also get a free 50 GB Google Drive Storage for 2 years.

Design, Build & Accessories: the new One is only 9.35 mm thick and weighs 160 grams, it would be really awesome to hold that slim phone in your Hands :). having a 2600 mAh battery pack it ensures to give at-least 20 hours of 3G usage. M8 will be available in following colours:

1. Gunmetal Gray
2. Glacial Silver
3. Amber Gold

talking about the accessories for the M8, then there is really cool accessories available for it like the new freaking innovative Dot View Case, Flip Case and Double Dip Case. for more info on all accessories head over to this page and scroll to the end. HTC has done a really good Job on the One M8.

Last but not least, Software Features: If you’ve already had a look at few leaked images of the M8 you might already have an idea that the M8 will feature a Dual Camera and Boom, yes there are two camera on the M8 . the primary one is the Ultra Pixel camera with BSI Sensor, Full HD 1080p recording with HDR mode, the secondary camera will focus on in-depth details. the front facing camera is 5 MP with the ability of recording Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. and yeah people who likes to click a a lot selfies will love it as it captures images with a wide angle lens.

the percentage of metal on the back of HTC One M8 has been increased to 90% while the original One M7 had 70%. for music lovers HTC has included Multi-Band amplifier which boosts the Bass, enhances Sound quality and improves the volume. the new One is 25 percent louder than the previous One M7.

adding so many new features HTC has also included Motion Launch through which you can Unlock your One M8, open the Blinkfeed and turn on voice calling. now many of you might be thinking that with so many features will the HTC One M8 be able to last for a day? The Battery Life is improves so much that now it lasts 40 percent longer than ever before! you can get a standby time of 2 weeks using the power saver mode.

Conclusion

Well this new One M8 is seriously a revolutionary smartphone in 2014 and looking at its main competitors Galaxy S5and the Xperia Z2 in all way it is better than both of them! I’ve to say that HTC has done really awesome job in producing this smartphone. they’ve included every feature that is needed in a perfect smartphone for a better usage.  I would definitely suggest you to pick the all new HTC One.
