Cleartemp: Clean the e-dust from your device in one go!

Today, I’m going to start a new series here at ApoTheTech: “Freeware of the week”.

This time, I’ve selected Cleartemp.

Cleartemp is an application which lets you clear your cache, temp data, address history and many more in just one go. It saves a lot of time and keeps your device clean.

All you have to do is tick the required to-be-cleaned stuff and then go to “Tools”>”Clean”.

Cleartemp can be download from here

Make your HTC Touch DIAMOND Quad-Band

Impossible has been done again by the folks at XDA-devs. They have been able to add/activate 850mhz band to the HTC Touch Diamond. All you need to get the Quad Band radio available there.

Please note that the faint-hearted should not do this. If anything goes wrong, you may be left with a bricked diamond.

..and I apologize not to mentioning the URL of ROM as it is against our website’s policies. But, hey it is easy :!:

Me Impressed with HTC Touch Diamond? NO, I'm not

I went to my local store to check out the latest Gadgets available there. I saw a Touch Diamond and used it for a while.

My impressions:

  • VGA is beautiful on the 2.8″ screen
  • It is sexy. No doubt. Makes the Touch(original) look ugly
  • Very thin
  • Touchflo 3D is slow, but impressive
  • Takes a while to boot(more than a minute)

But, I won’t be buying it. Why?

  • Not Quad-band. I need a world phone
  • Poor battery life
  • Slow interface
  • Less available RAM(just 55MB from 192MB of RAM. 64MB is pre-reserved for GPU. Out of the rest 128MB of RAM, you get 55MB in the end)

Looks like, I’ll be buying a TYTN II or a Touch Cruise in the end then. What do you say guys?

*excuse the poor camera quality. I did not have my camera with me. Picture taken with my friend’s SE P990i

Quick look at Opera Mobile 9.5 beta

The 9.51 beta 1 was released yesterday. I installed it on my device and here is a quick small review of it.

The Cab file weighs a whopping 8689kb!(8.9MB)

It takes a while to install it, approximately 2-3mins

As soon as you type the first letter, it searches your Bookmarks and displays them. You type in second letter and they will go away. Also, it automatically fetches your IE favorites

Ok ok! My website sure looks weird in Opera Mobile. I notice that the columns are auto-configured to display only a certain amount of text that would fit in once you zoom-in.

It certainly looks better in landscape and is recommened to be used to landscape as it lets it to fit more.

..and it did not take me long to get this message :( ..and I’m using single tab!

uh oh! this is what happens when you are using a device with 64mb of RAM

Overall:

  • Not too impressed
  • Speed is ok
  • Rendering is great
  • Devices with 64MB of RAM may face ‘out of memory‘ errors
