Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru

Description
Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru is a battery life saver app that extends battery performance and improves overall user experience by intelligently making changes that optimize device functionality in phones with Snapdragon mobile processors. This app:
• Delivers longer battery life with fewer charges, acting as a battery life extender
• Intelligently learns how you use your Snapdragon-powered smartphone and optimizes your device without disabling smartphone functionality
• Requires no user configuration - Snapdragon BatteryGuru automatically learns and adjusts the smartphone settings so you don’t have to
After a brief 2-4 day introduction period, Snapdragon BatteryGuru learns the user’s behaviors and then notifies the user that it is ready to extend the battery life and improve the experience. Snapdragon BatteryGuru continues to operate in the background, deepening its understanding of the user and further optimizing the experience over time.
Snapdragon BatteryGuru battery saver app supports a majority of Snapdragon powered devices and we will continue to work to support additional Snapdragon powered devices. If you experience problems using this battery saver app, we'd really appreciate if you send us an email at batteryguru@qti.qualcomm.com explaining your problem prior to leaving a review – we’ll try to respond as soon as possible.

ASUS Currently Pushing Android 4.2.1 To The Transformer AiO

The ASUS Transformer AiO is a strange sort of beast – it's half desktop computer, half massive Android tablet. Here's the thing, though: it's surprisingly cool. I've been using one for the last week or so (review coming soon), and have been extremely surprised at the amount of utility I've found in this mix-n-match device, as well as how well thought-out it is. But I'm getting ahead of myself here – you'll have to wait for the review for the full skinny.

Up to this point, my main problem with the Android side is that it was running 4.1, and 4.2 would beperfect for the unit since it brings multiple user accounts (because this is a fantastic family machine). It's as if ASUS could read my thoughts, because the company just pushed 4.2.1 to the massive not-so-handheld, putting it on par with the company's other recent devices.
Current AiO owners can jump into Android and pull the update by heading into Settings > About tablet > System updates.
