Google Trends now offers a subscription service that sends you notifications through email about any changes of interest levels for majority of searches, including hot searches and U.S. top chart.

Access multiple Dropbox accounts on Android with B1 File Manager

The Dropbox app for Android only lets you access one Dropbox account at a time. But what if you have more? B1 File Manager lets you access multiple Dropbox accounts at a time. You can do so through the “Add Network” option. This will prompt you to sign into a Dropbox account to setup. Once that is done, you can tap it again to add another account. However, this file manager doesn’t offer local sync though. But it makes it easier for you to transfer or delete files in your Dropbox accounts.

Rogers has started to roll out 700MHz spectrum in various communities in Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver to improve LTE connection in the areas. This update means subscribers can get better coverage inside concrete office buildings, high rise condominiums, elevators, deep basement apartments, and underground parking garages. That will be convenient when you want to catch the 2014/2015 NHL season no matter where you are.

Google brings stock Android Camera to more devices, introduces new features

Google wants to bring features of its stock Android Camera to more users (well, at least those running Android 4.4) with the release of the app on Play Store. It brings Photo Sphere feature to more devices and introduces Lens Blur. This new feature is similar to what HTC and Samsung have introduced in their new flagship devices. It lets you adjust the depth of field on your photos similar to what you can do with DSLRs. Of course, the effect isn’t as accurate as what you’d get on a professional camera but it’s nice to have that option and lets you play around with on your phone.

Google has been rolling out the update in the past few days or you can check it out through its Play Store link.
