It’s always a good deal in the long run if you buy an unlocked device, since you will be able to change carriers if you don’t like your current one with no hassle, but if you are already on a contract though, unlocking it will definitely go a long way if you want to change carriers mid-contract. The same goes for the HTC One, which is more than a year old now.  Its quad-core 1.7GHz CPU with 2GB RAM and 32GB of on-board storage will surely keep firmware updates coming in for this device for another two years at the

For us here at TheUnlockr, speeding up a device could only mean one thing – overclocking it!  But, we know that cannot always be the answer and there might always be factors that stop someone from doing this (warranty issues, reluctance to root, etc.).  And so we turn to the Play Store for an answer – is there really a way to speed up things on an Android device without actually overclocking it?  Yes, actually, you can, with an app that manages your memory/CPU for you so you won’t have to worry about such things.  One such app is DU

Anyone owning an Android device, no matter how powerful it is or how middling its features might be, will always have one gripe – the battery just doesn’t last long!  With making/answering calls, playing games and chatting incessantly, there are some devices that barely make it through the day even after being fully charged in the morning. Targeting this problem is a crop of apps that you can find on the Play Store.  These apps claim to manage your battery by controlling your background apps, controlling your connectivity, and other parts of your device that tend to eat up your battery

Whatsapp, that uberpopular app for messaging, has always been limited to mobile devices.  There’s no official version of it for the PC yet (and there might not be in the future, given the need of a unique mobile number for it work) but there are ways you can make it work on your PC.  There are a few ways you can do this – use an emulator like Bluestack or Youwave – but we’ll show you a different way to do this and without much hassle.  We’ll show you a way to do this the easy way with VirtualBox, which

With no cellular support whatsoever, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 is a tablet for those who don’t need much from a device, even though it does offer plenty in the specs department for a mid-range tablet.  Rooting the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 may not give it the power to make calls but it will surely open up a world of new apps and customizations that were previously not possible on this dual-cored, 7-inch device.  And if are okay with rooting it, the guide below is just the one for you! Rooting is the process of gaining administrative

Although it’s been almost two years since the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was released, we think the device has the innards needed for it to run Android 4.4 (quad-core 1.4GHz CPU with 2GB RAM) and so thought Samsung too, which resulted in this huge device being updated to Android 4.4.2.  This was great news for all those Note 10.1 owners but for the not-so-small section of users that rooted it, this was sort of bad news as it broke root access.  The guide below shold help them remedy that if they are still interested in rooting their Samsung Galaxy Note

With the Moto G’s phenomenal success last year, Motorola seems keen on capitalizing on this and has released another iteration of the Moto G – the Moto G 4G or the Moto G LTE.  This device is similar to its predecessor in every respect other than its cellular connectivity prowess – this version is capable of utilizing 4G/LTE networks where available.  And, as with any new device, the Moto G 4G was rooted with relative ease and this is what we’ll help you do today. Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device. Once we root

Released in December 2012, the Sony Xperia V with its dual-core 1.5GHz CPU must be starting to feel slightly old now.  If this is the case with your device and you need something new on it, rooting the Sony Xperia V is the way to go.  The guide below should help you with that and in the process, also install a custom recovery (TWRP Recovery in this case) which will enable you to make/restore backups, flash custom ROMs and add other modifications to your Xperia V. Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device. Once we

The Sony Xperia C, with its modest 1.2GHz processor and a gig of RAM, was released almost a year ago and those who have still held on to it, might have noticed it lagging a bit compared to your friends’ newer, more powerful devices.  If you are looking for ways to speed up your device to match their power, overclocking is the thing to do.  And to overclock, you’ll need to be rooted. Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device. Once we root our Android device, we can then make changes to it to customize

Released in April, the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 has one major difference compared to its predecessor; the device is now running Samsung’s own Tizen instead Android.  But that’s not viewed as a deterrent by many as Samsung added in an infrared blaster (to control AV systems from the device), and moved the camera on to the device itself instead of the wristband, which enables users to get their own choice of wristbands. What could make this Tizen-running Gear 2 better though is rooting it, as it will give you the ability to turn off the camera shutter sound and add

With its 12.2 inch display, the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 from Samsung has got to be one of the biggest tablets available right now.  And the display isn’t the only department that this device is big on, as it boasts of other features such as a quad-core 1.9GHz CPU (coupled with another 1.3GHz quad-core processor on the side) with 3GB RAM, 8MP camera (with 2MP on the front for video calling and selfies), and a massive 9500 mAh battery. Rooting this device will definitely make it better and opens up a world of opportunities with its octa-core configuration (imagine what

If you are still a proud owner of the original Galaxy Gear, you would have noticed Samsung decided to go with Tizen instead of Android in its recent update.  This is not entirely a bad thing as Sammy wants to keep all its wearable OS in the same line, but for those who rooted the Gear before, you might be left wondering if Tizen capable of giving you root privileges like Android did.  Well, it does and yes, now you can get root privileges on the Galaxy Gear with the guide below.
