How to watch NBA Christmas Games online, on Android device

It’s the exciting time of year for all basketball fans again. As the regular season has kicked off for a while, NBA Christmas day is just around the corner, which is always the NBA’s biggest day of the regular season. LeBron James was named the Finals MVP as he won his first NBA championship in Miami Heat, after ran all over the Oklahoma City Thunder last NBA Finals, and this Christmas, the Thunder will take on the Heat at American Airlines Arena . There is no doubt that everyone is looking forward to this basketball game on Christmas Day.

For someone, they like catch live streaming NBA action on the Internet or TV, but with the popularity of mobile device like smartphone and tablets, some like watch on the go. So Here I have collected a list of apps as a guide for watching NBA on Android mobile devices.

NBA Game Time 2012-13

I am sure that many of you may know NBA Game time, a mobile application that gets revamped and re-released each year that allows us to keep up with all the latest scores, highlights and news from our favorite teams. So here I put this app in the first place.

Note: You should upgrade the free app via NBA League Pass Mobile in order to watch live regular-season games, NBA League Pass Mobile lets you watch live NBA action from your iPhone or Android device for $39.99. It essentially the same deal as NBA League Pass Broadband but for your phone. Be sure you understand the blackout rules before purchasing because you won’t get local teams or any games broadcast nationally on ESPN, TNT, ABC, etc.

The app is also fit for iPhone, iPad.

Some Official Websites for NBA Games:

1. NBA TNT Overtime
This website is provided by Cable network TNT; yet, this time you can watch NBA streaming without cable subscription, only broadband connection is required.
This online streaming NBA differs from TV as the games are broadcasted on an interactive 4-screen interface, with each of the 4 providing a different camera angle.

2. NBA.com
NBA.com is the official site of the National Basketball Association, which offers you news, features, multimedia, player profiles, chat transcripts, schedules and statistics, everything about NBA. It's updated official website for NBA Games of regular season, playoffs and the finals. And of course, you can watch NBA game live on this website.

3. YouTube NBA Channel
This could be another option for NBA games. If you are a YouTube lover, I think the website is your choice. You can also download your favorite NBA video to enjoy.

4. ESPN NBA 
ESPN airs NBA games on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. And Most NBA games on the ESPN cable network air on Fridays at 8:00 p.m ET and 7:30 p.m PT as part of "Coast to Coast" doubleheaders. WatchESPN.com is free to viewers who log in with an active and paid-up cable TV subscription.

Android and iOS app helps you get more from your battery

Summary: Carat has been developed by a team of scientists from the UC Berkeley electrical engineering and computer science department’s Algorithms, Machines, and People Laboratory (AMP Lab).


Don’t you wish there was an app that you could download to your iOS or Android device that could actually help you get more from your built-in battery? Now there is.

Called Carat, this is the first app that can give you personalized battery life-saving recommendations. The app works by collecting metrics from your device and periodically sending them to the cloud in anonymized form.

There they are combined with data collected from other users and what’s described as “cutting-edge algorithms” are used to number-crunch the data and come up with personalized steps to help you use less power.

Carat will tell you which apps are battery hogs, and which are bugs — which also use up a lot of battery. Being a hog or a bug does not make an app ‘bad’, but a user trying to improve their battery life can use these designations to adjust their behavior.

And before you start thinking that Carat is itself be a battery hog, it’s worth bearing in mind that it doesn’t need to run continuously in the background. You just have to run it periodically so it can send the data back to the servers and generate personalized recommendations for your particular device.

Nothing that is collected identifies you personally.

Carat has been developed by a team of scientists from the UC Berkeley electrical engineering and computer science department’s Algorithms, Machines, and People Laboratory (AMP Lab).

The app is free and available both for iOS and Android devices.

If this app doesn’t allow you to get satisfactory battery life out of your iOS device then I’ve compiled a list of battery saving tips that are guaranteed to help you squeeze precious minutes out of your device.

These tips work for both the iPhone and the iPad.
