uTorrent Remote Manages Your BitTorrent Downloads from Your Android Phone [Downloads]

Android: The uTorrent 3.0 alphas have a pretty convenient web UI, but now Android users can start, stop, monitor and even download torrents to their phone with BitTorrent's official uTorrent remote app.

Web UIs are great for monitoring your downloads when you aren't at home, but no one likes a webapp on their phone—even if it is mobile-frirendly. If you're a uTorrent user rocking an Android phone, you'll definitely want to check out the new uTorrent Remote app, which taps into uTorrent 3.0's remote access feature to manage your home PC's downloads when you're out and about.

This isn't just a torrent monitor like the webapp, either. You can not only check on your downloads and start new ones, but even check your BitTorrent RSS feeds and shift completed files directly to your phone. Note that you'll need to be running uTorrent 3.0 on your home machine to use this app.

uTorrent Remote is a free download for Android devices running 2.1 and up.

LCDDensity Fakes a Higher Resolution on Your Rooted Android Phone [Downloads]

Android: If you find that you're doing too much scrolling on your phone, free app LCDDensity will artificially let you increase your resolution, making browsing and menu navigation a snap.

If you've rooted your phone, you can just download LCDDensity from the Market and use it to change the appearance of your phone with a simple slider. Slide it to the left and your phone will appear to have a larger resolution, with smaller icons, more pictures per page in the Gallery app, and so on. If you use ADW or LauncherPro's ability to fit more icons on your home screen, this should also help make things a little less cramped-looking. It may seem weird at first, but I've found a very mild increase in resolution makes browsing quite a bit easier on my phone, and navigating things like the Android Market are nicer too:

How to Force Your Android Phone to Check for a System Update [Android]

You've just read or heard that your phone is due for an update—maybe just bug fixes, or possibly a big version upgrade. But your phone claims there's nothing doing. Dial this keypad combination to force a "checkin" and possible upgrade.

If there's no update available for your phone from your carrier, then this trick won't magically compile and distribute one, of course. But there can be a lag between when a carrier makes an update available and when your phone checks in to see if it's available—even if you hit the Settings menu, choose About phone, and click the "Check for system updates" option. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't—but it doesn't hurt.

To get your phone into the queue right away, dial

How to Install APK Non-Market Apps on Android Phone

Most of the apps (or applications) for Android-based devices is available for download through the central Android Market, which is installed by default on most Android smartphones and tablets. Unlike iPhone, as Android is an open system, there may be programs especially hacks that are not available from Android Market, and only can be downloaded from third-party sources.

All installable Android apps are using the .apk file type format. A file with .apk extension is an Android Package file, and can be installed on any Android powered device. While Android Market can download and install the apps automatically, but how to install non-Market .apk apps onto Android?

Unlike Windows, Mac OS X or Linux desktop operating system, where user can simply double click to run the installer, Android does not even include a File Manager in stock form. However, there are many ways in which an .apk can be installed onto the Android device, and here’s the trick and guide on how to install .apk apps.

Method 1: Install .apk Apps with an APK Apps Installer or File Manager

While Android Market app cannot install an .apk file directly, it can be used to download apps installers or APK installers that available for free download from Android Market.

For example, ASTRO File Manager, Mobile Manager, AndroZip File Manager, AppToolkit, Android Mate, EStrongs File Explorer and etc.copy the .apk file to the root directory of the SD card.Run the Apps Installer.Most apps installer will automatically scan the root folder (or even entire content) of the SD card to look for any .apk files. Touch the Android APK app that wanted to be installed to initiate the installation.Confirm the installation dialogs.Once installation is completed, user can access the application from menu.

Method 2: Push Install APK via Android SDK on Computer
