Just a few days ago a report appeared online revealing that Jerry Shen, CEO of ASUS, had officially informed investors of the Taiwanese company’s plans to unveil its first ever smartwatch at the IFA consumer conference on September 3 in Berlin.

Today ASUS released its first teaser on Google+, illustrating a silhouette of a smartwatch with the quote ‘Time has been transformed and we have changed,” by Lebanese Poet, Khalil Gibran, and a caption to the left saying “something incredible is going to happen at IFA this year.”

If you’re a frequent Android user, I’m pretty sure you have various accounts stored on your device that sync automatically several times a day, in order to provide you with up to the minute information the instant you open the app. However, you may not know that this process consumes an awful lot of your valuable battery juice. That’s why it’s important to control which applications sync spontaneously and which ones start configuring once you toggle the app.

Huawei has just sent out another batch of requests to a press event it’s holding in Berlin on Thursday, September 4, which coincidentally happens to be the eve of the annual IFA conference — the second largest consumer electronics show in the world.

It’s Sunday, the time of the week when Cult of Android brings you its report of some of the very best apps we have been using throughout the course of the past week, and today we are focusing our attention on a great audiobook player, a music-streaming service, a gorgeous live wallpaper and a very illuminating widget.

Most Android-powered smartphones bundle a front-facing LED as a visual aid to notify users of incoming notifications. This is particularly useful in situations where users are unable to have the sound activated on their handset.

Invariably this feature can be somewhat annoying, though, as a light flashes for each and every missed call, voicemail, email and text message received. You may not wish to be alerted every time one of these notifications arrives on your handset — so today we’re showing you how to manually select which notifications the LED flashes for.
