As an Android smartphone or tablet user there is surely nothing more annoying or frustrating than trying to download an app from the Play Store unsuccessfully.

Okay, so it may not be as severe as that, but it can be pretty problematic. Thankfully, there is a potential solution in the form of APK Downloader which allows APK files to be pulled directly from the Play Store's servers.
If being a superhero is one of your ultimate dreams then it's time to forget about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and any other 'big named' heroes of justice that spring to mind. The ultimate planetary savior has to be the Norse God of Thunder, Thor. Norse mythology tells us that Thor is the god of thunder, lightning, storms and strength and protects mankind with his belief in good over evil as well as his trusty hammer that smashes all that gets in its way. If emulating Thor is high on your list of ambitions then the official Thor: The Dark World game could be a good place to begin that emulation.

The great thing about Google's Android, is that it's inherently hackable, and even those bits of exclusive software specific to one device invariably wind up dissected and ported through to other smartphones and tablets on the market. The Galaxy Note 3 may well be Samsung's latest premium handset, but the Galaxy S4 remains the flagship, and with so many more consumers in ownership of this summer's blockbuster, it's good to see work being done to bring the Note 3's exclusives over to the main event. The latest feature to make its way to the S4 is the camera app, and thanks to the work of the guys at XDA-Developers, installing it on your own handset is fairly painless. Details, as ever, can be found after the break.
