LG G2 ROM that supports WiFi calling on AT&T

Thanks to an XDA developer we now have a T-Mobile ROM that has been modified to work on AT&T LG G2. This will allow your AT&T phone to work just like T-Mobile’s LG G2 thus giving you the ability to use T-Mobile WI-FI Calling.

To flash you must Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik cache and then flash the Stock T-Mobile ROM. After that flash the KitKat BaseBand – this is a very important step to enable WiFi calling.

Then reboot and that is it. Your LG G2 now supports WiFi calling.

There is a slight bug in this ROM where the phone does not wake up after double tapping the screen. For that:

Go to the phone dial pad
Dial 3845#*801#
Select Settings
Then select Update Touch Firmware
Wait about 30 seconds, and then back out to the home screen.

Bluetooth Speaker Review: iHome iBN6 Waterproof for iPhone and iPad

The Bluetooth speaker category has reached its saturation but folks at iHome want to revive that category by their iBN6 waterpoof speakers. You can use these with your iPhone, iPad or iPod since all have built in Bluetooth radios.

Review: iHome iBN6 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The iHome iBN6 costs 100 dollars and was shown off at CES 2014. There are there things that make the iHome iBN6 Bluetooth speaker so special. First is the fact that it IPX7 certified. Second it has a edgy new body and third, all of this is being offered at a very affordable price tag.

It measures 6 x 4.5 x 2.7 inches and has two 1.25 inch front facing drivers. There is also a 2.5 inch circular bass driver on its back.

You get a 3.5mm cable and micro USB charger in the box. The entire chassis is made of rubber that forms a grid of volume. 

So how is the sound quality? It is excellent thanks to the three speaker array iHome has been able to squeeze in three speakers inside its small chassis.

You can use it for phone calls and there are dedicated buttons for answering and ending phone calls on the unit.

Boyue T61 E-ink Android Tablet specifications, excellent but lacks application store

Boyue T61 E-ink Android tablet is a rebranded version of Illumina ereader which is apparently sold by Dutch retailer. It was launched last fall with pretty decent specifications.

The Boyue T61 E-Ink specifications include  6″ Pearl HD E-ink screen with front light, touchscreen, Android 4.2, 1 GHz dual core processor with 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, a micro SD card slot, and Wi-Fi.

All those features make it an excellent E-Ink tablet. There is no mention of Play Store on it so it is safe to assume that it would not come with any.

Supported reading formats include Epub, PDF, FB2, and Mobi. Of course since it runs Android you can install your favorite APK on it and use any ereading app you want.

Boyue T61 E-ink Android Tablet specifications

However it ships with several applications pre installed including file manager, drop box, web browser and email client. Selling price is 119 euros including shipping. Boyue T61 E-ink tablet does not come with a retail box but was packed in a plain styro-foam box. This is chiefly done to keep the price down.
