Travel Special: Beijing Travel Itinerary

Compare hotel prices and find the best deal - HotelsCombined.comI was quite blessed to have been able to visit Beijing this month of November and got to stay for about 5 days. I really had fun going around and checking out the different places to eat, see and experience the culture that many who have told me in the past is typical chinese culture. I'll be writing a full article on my experiences within Beijing and a bit of Shanghai within the week, but for now I would like to share our itinerary to help those that have decided to pay Beijing a visit.

Here is what we did for the entire week:



Start day one at Tiananmen Square. All tours of Beijing logically start there at the center of town. Get to Tiananmen Square early to watch the flag raising then walk around and ponder all the history that happened there. Next walk one kilometer north to the Forbidden City. It is also called the Imperial Palace Museum. Spend the rest of the day there touring its four gigantic halls and reviewing the history of every Chinese dynasty.


At night pay a visit to the Night Market in Wangfujing street which showcases a long stretch of malls featuring many different fashion brands and local products. Also check out the Night Hawkers which is just adjacent to the Night Market. They'll be selling all sorts of food including those that would be considered eccentric for the tourist as you'll get to see scorpions, starfishes and more on a barbecue stick. 

Climb the Great Wall of China on day two. Take Bus 919 Fast from Deshengmen to the Badaling stop. The ride costs 12 yuan and takes about one hour. Hike up and down the Great Wall for amazing views and a pretty good work out. There are many amenities right on the wall. There are places to eat, shop and relax so you can spend all day there. You can also ask your hotel room if they can set up a tour for you and usually they'll have a tour company in mind. We got ours for RMB 280 which includes the buffet lunch. Prepare also for a fee to use the cable car and Toboggan otherwise endure the very long and arduous climb up and down the stairs.


Spend day three at the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace. Board bus 744 on the south side of the road outside the south gate of Taoran Pavilion Park. Ride the bus 15 minutes to Tiantan West Gate and walk south 400 meters to the Temple of Heaven. The complex was a religious center for emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Spend the morning there then head to the Summer Palace. The imperial court used to go there to escape the summer heat. The palace rivals any in the world with ornate gardens, temples and pavilions.

There are lots more to see as one goes around Beijing, but I'll find time to show you all that in the next article of Beijing. For now I do hope this helps you decide in what to do and where to go in Beijing.

Happy Traveling

Till Next Time...

HTC One X 4.1.1 Official Jelly Bean Update Review

It has been over a month since HTC had announced that they'll be releasing the Jelly Bean Update to HTC One X Users globally and today they have finally delivered on their promise. Below you'll get to see the many new things that has been improved, changed and redesigned software wise by HTC for the the One X users. If you have visited our article on what to expect with the HTC One X Jelly Bean update you'd be pleased to see that they have delivered on those things and have given much more.

Messaging application is now without the arrow keys though that can still be activated in the options setting located beside the side bar. 

The Notification screen is more comprehensive than the old ICS layout. Please take note that the Battery Icon and avast are third party apps that I have installed and have seamlessly integrated with the new software. The power saving options are also ready accessible here with just a click and you can adjust what it shall affect via settings or through this same button.
Power saving settings give you control of the cpu and so much more.

Back to messaging, by pressing and holding the symbols key, gives you access to the most used and fun emoticons for more convenience.

Color layout has also changed and is now less glaring to the eyes.

Power Settings Show a different more modern feel but still pretty much provides the same functionalities plus of course the power saving options that have been upgraded.

This shows the current android version and other software version updates.

The setting menu now resembles that of the HTC One X+'s

There are three new skins that have been added which brings a bit of a refreshing new feel and color combination.
Layout of the application menu has also been changed and improved.


Some of the built in applications such as flashlight have also gotten an upgrade with regards to their look and feel.

Task manager shows the full 1GB ram and what is being utilized. Interface has also been revamped and is a lot more intuitive to use.

Gallery application of HTC One X has had the most in terms of overhaul.  Now you can view photos based on where they are located, where they are stored and what event/day they were taken.


Google Plus interface has also changed just a bit.

Several new widgets have been added to the HTC Collection. Many of which take advantage of the amount of detail the screen can provide.


Google maps are still pretty much the same as with the last upgrade ICS 4.0.4


Music application of HTC One X has also been given a major upgrade and it is now pretty easy to go around your files as they are sorted by album, artist, genre and more. 

Bench mark scores where the most impressive based on the Antutu Scores. Previous score was rounding off to 10.5K and now has gone up to what you can see here now. End user result is also quite obvious

Bench mark results also with Quadrant Standard have shown a massive increase in performance. As you can see here, the previous HTC One X with ICS benchmark results barely hit 5,000 but with the Jelly Bean Update it is now close to 7,000
Screen and picture quality is just as stunning and the menu has been brought back to carousel mode which allows for continuous scrolling at least on the widget screen. 

Camera Layout has also had many upgrades and I personally think that it is a much more in tune with the overall user experience making the keys and menu option more ergonomically correct. 

Additional information such as hours of video taking left as well as photos are a very welcome addition. Front facing camera has also been improved by adding the same features that they have incorporated with the HTC One X+ such as timer for self portraits. 
Additional Camera settings have been incorporated to ensure that the users have full control of how the shots and videos are taken.

The HTC One X Jelly Bean update in my opinion is like a breath of fresh air for me as I can truly see how efficiently its software has merged with the hardware fully utilizing its skills and bringing the HTC One X the amount of seamless power it deserves. For the first time, I have not seen any lag in anything whatsoever. Games, applications and web-browsing have become so smooth and easy. Colors are somehow more vibrant too. This was something that HTC should have done with the HTC One X at the early part of this year right after it launched. Comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the HTC One X is really still up there giving the top dogs a good run for their money. Of course the HTC One X+ still is the leading contender in terms of processor speed and battery life, but with the HTC One X now just a few points away from its flagship brother's benchmark this phone is definitely worth the cheaper price. ;)

I am sure that there'll be another update soon as Google has launched a new JB update on their phones with the version 4.2 but for now this HTC One X Official JB update is making me love my HTC One X so much more.

Till Next Time...

I have been waiting for over a month to be able to get the Jelly Bean Update for my HTC One X and now it has finally arrived. It has promised a lot of performance enhancements and of course the much anticipated Google Now. I know that many are still waiting for it but I guess you'll have to expect to receive it once they get to your CID series number.

Here are some of the things that are now available on the update:


I'll do a write up review as soon as I get a chance to go through all the features. For now try to hit that update now button as I am sure this is going global faster this time.

I have written an article on what to expect with the JB Update here: HTC One X JB Expectations

PS. When you do get the update, make sure you have enough charge on your HTC One X because once you hit install and you have it plugged to its power cord you may encounter some unwanted glitches.

Filipino Gadget Special: Cherry Mobile W500 Titan

Pinoy brand Cherry Mobile has now officially entered the Phablet wars with their 5 inch Ice Cream Sandwich powered mobile phone. Though one thing that you'll notice off the bat is that its price is no where near that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, LG Optimus Vu and even the old Samsung Galaxy Note. The Cherry Mobile Titan is priced at a surprisingly less than Php 7,000. This brings the phablet experience straight to the masses, but is it worth checking out?


The Cherry Mobile W500 Titan offers a 5" display with a capable hardware to match. The Titan is powered by a dual core Mediatek MT6577 CPU paired with 512MB RAM with an internal storage of 4GB that can be expanded to 32GB via microSD. The front-facing camera is pretty much basic as it sports VGA specs good enough for video calling and skype. The rear end camera has a 5MP shooter with flash, which takes pretty decent but rather grainy shots depending on lighting. The battery is one to take note of as it has a hefty 2350mAh battery. For those of you that are tired of carrying two phones you'd be happy to know that the Cherry Mobile Titan has Dual sim capabilities with Dual Standby.

How did it fare in terms of usage with regards to the other Phablet phones? This is where I would have to say that you might get rather surprised at least in terms of usability. The Cherry Mobile Titan due to the Ice Cream Sandwich software has performed quite well and smooth with slight lags at times which is most likely due to the small RAM allocation but it still does the job. It isn't something for heavy phone gamers but it can play games like riptide quite comfortably. Internal storage is quite small considering that the software has to take up space but thankfully enough the external sd option helps out a bit. It would have faired better if they had increased the internal storage quite a bit more to make it an even more attractive buy. Camera-wise it does the job but not exactly the best. Compared to the other brands that sports the same 5MP rear facing camera, the Cherry Mobile Titan still has a lot to improve on. But with proper lighting it still dishes out pretty good and amazing shots. You could probably use google apps like Camera 360 to help with improving the image output.

Overall, the Cherry Mobile W500 Titan is a pretty decent Phablet phone considering the price. It isn't something that one can ignore but one thing to keep in mind is that this isn't a phone for a heavy multi-tasking user as the hardware may keep you at bay. If you however, want a phablet experience without breaking your wallet and can be a bit forgiving in terms of a few lags here and there then this would be a good phone for you to try out. Also a good alternative for those that want the Android Experience and only want one phone for their two lines. The Cherry Mobile W500 Titan is a good budget Phablet but one that can still be further improved. I am betting that the next Phablet entry of Cherry Mobile will be a lot better, but for now this one is a Budget Phablet that is hard to beat, at least price-wise.

Here are the complete specs of the Cherry Mobile W500 Titan:
  • 5.0″ capacitive touch panel (800 x 480)
  • 1GHz dual-core processor MediaTek MT6577
  • PowerVR SGX531 GPU
  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
  • 512MB RAM
  • 4GB internal storage up to 32GB via microSD
  • 5-megapixel rear camera with flash
  • VGA front-facing camera
  • HSPA+ 21Mbps
  • WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, WiFi hotspot
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • GPS w/ aGPS support
  • 2350mAh battery
  • Dual-SIM, Dual-Standby

Google Play Reco's: Plague Inc

I have definitely gotten a plague thanks to miniclip :) This time around I am really hooked on a game that put the lives of billions of people in your hands quite literally. Plague for me is like playing a game of chess with the world as you evolve your chosen pathogen to eradicate the human world. Sinister as it may sound but the challenge is quite a good learning experience for me as well.


As I go through the moves of starting an infection, I gain insight into the world of the CDC as one get to see how one small pathogen(bacteria, virus, fungus, etc..) can bring billions of people to their knees in a matter of a few years. It shows how if a pathogen evolves and spreads like wildfire, especially if it starts in a country that is low on funds, over-populated and if symptoms are weak to start with to be ignored. The simple ignorance that people have with regards to these symptoms also showed me how easily one can spread it to someone else and by the time it has evolved to cause more damage, then unfortunately it has proven to be too little too late. That is what I feel that game is trying to teach its gamers - awareness of what might be.

Here is what the makers of Plague Inc. have to say about their game:

★★★★★ The # 1 mobile strategy game is here ★★★★★

realistic simulation from developer Ndemic Creations and brought to

Try to catch the bug and check out Plague Inc. It'll be worth getting hooked on.
