The next Android ?


The rumour reveals that Nokia is planning to pull back the finnish brand from its smart phones line and willing to stick with feature phones giving away its smart phone forgery to the american soil, to the short term friend Microsoft. Now its factual and crystal clear that the giant is full heartedly after basic phones with the news that the Smarterphone, Oslo, Norway based software hub which is focused on producing a much smart phone like OS for so-called feature phones, is being bought by the sinking breed so that thay can swim together

The company is financially pampered with millions by investment firms and tech personals like FerdCapital, Kvaleberg AG, Innovation Norway, Trolltech founder Haavard Nord and management consultant Lars Øberg from the very outset.

Whether the leader in the phone manufacturing is after fresh flesh, blood and souls or the operating system will parade along with Windows, Symbian or S40 is unclear. Financial terms of the deal are not disclosed yet.

Samsung Profits


Samsung to the fore.

The south Korean tech giant which entered the smart phone arena only in 2010 and now eating every chop out of it has recently revealed their massive yet staggering operational and profit figures related to the 4th quarter of the ending financial year.

According to the report, the company has sold 35 million smartphone units and its a mark up from 27.9 millions of the same quarter of the previous year. Operating profits have surged to US $4.47 billions, which represents a 73 percent year-over-year increase. The revenue generated from Samsung’s processing chip and OLED display businesses and of course the tremendously successful Samsung Android phones along with the new power hoarse Galaxy Nexus have been the cash cows

World's cheapest smart phone, Nokia 6630


World's cheapest smart phone, Nokia 6630

There are N70s, 6600s, 6680s and few others. But I chose to enthrone 6630 as the world's cheapest smart phone. The reasons behind my definitive conclusion are its relatively cheap price, still strong going performance, solid, sound built quality delivering even after 7 years of integrity and thousands of positive comments from those who still use and cherish it in the luxuriant AGE OF ANDROID and iphone

You can buy a second hand 6630 for 25 bucks these days. The 6630 is a Symbian s60 v2 OS based phone and features GPRS, EDGE, UMTS 2100, a TFT 65k colors 176 x 208 pixels and 2.1 inches display, a RS-DV-MMC card slot, Videocalling, 220 MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU, 10mb usable memory, a 8mb executable RAM and supports both Symbian and JAVA apps.

Yesterday I exchanged my old rugged horse Sony Ericsson W 200i with a 6630 in a total sane state of curiosity. For my part, however, I was utterly disappointed for its multitasking department which was a total disaster( but I still dont dethrone it ). From a meager 20mb mounted RAM, only about 8mb is available to play only a single app once. Truth speaking, actually the RAM shelters for few open apps at a time but if you plan to run about two heavy RAM EATING apps like Opera mini,( both Symbian and JAVA ) you will be in bad luck and facing an ugly reality. Even browsing with opera becomes a pain when incoming calls vapourize the task to dust either attended or not.

The phone is a JAVA apps killer. The emulator is slow like hell when rendering some of the most sought after JAVA apps and games. But does extremely well dispatching Symbian apps.

You cannot run a JAVA and a Symbian app once. The maximum Ram I have seen available so far is 8.75mb. That size is too easily swallowed by JAVA emulator and most times, of all running apps, JAVA takes the lion's share out of the memory.

The web browsers available by third parties are

1. Opera mini, symbian and java versions
2. Opera mobile 8.65
3. Netfront (a heavy data sucker)
4. jb5
5. UCWeb ( JAVA and Symbian )
6. Thunderhawk ( out of service. nice UI though )
7. Skyfire (file corrupted)


Ram booster?

Before buying I launched few researches and confronted some web sites that claimed strategies which would unconditionaly boost Ram, but as I later found out all were futile. All I could do was compress memory which enabled me to free about 650kb at maximum with few mentioned apps or file managers. Task killing or terminating had nothing to do with Ram boosting as every time I slayed them, they reoccupyied the Ram. I would flush few bucks if anyone can boost my RAM by at least 5 mega bites.

Unlike most feature phones, it allows the user to store apps in the memory card. Otherwise, your stuck with 9mb usable C:

Cons

1. When surfing with Opera mini the connection is periodicaly lost. Every time the connection is lost I had to close the app and restart it to have the connection back
2. Maximum downloading speed in Oper mini is between 3kb to 8kb
3.Built in Web browser hangs a lot
4.The online connection is always on and cannot delete or kill that ALWAYSONLINESTARTER.EXE file. It eats the battery juice.
5. The loudspeaker doesnt go beyond 1 minute during a call and the call is automatically deactivated when the battery is law

Pros

1. Wikipedia lies!, it says the handset only supports Dual voltage mmcs. But it supports normal mmcs



Suggest it for those who have still stuck with feature phones. Overall I entitle it as the POOR MAN'S SMART PHONE if poor men are after smart phones beside some phone freaks like us.

PS: Solved a mystery. How to copy paste was intricate at first and I couldnt figure out a way to do it with 6630. As I later discovered with intense efforts it goes like this, you long press edit key and navigate with navigate key up, down, left or right as it necessitate. Copy or cut required text then. But make sure you first release the navigate key


Update: 04/12

"Enhancement not supported"

It was at first an innocent looking naive dwarf. But finally it began to throw magical fire balls at me. At first the massage appeared when I started the phone and seemed harmless. I thought it was looking for attached accessories at the initiation. But soon that time passed and lapsed. Then came the most furious state of the regime. It almost invaded my activities and the massage was ruling the entire system. The commoner- in this case, me-understood that its the time to launch a world wide search in seek of a lasting peace solution to a land previously drowned in eternal sun shine. As it came to light, the monstrous rebellion was the dust that had been gathering for 7 consecative years in a form of a conspiracy. I took my scent bottle a cotton bud and cleaned up the pop port entirely. Most times the dust is taking cover at the side its soldered to the circuit board. There's a tiny gap between the edge of the board and the end of the sharp metalic port. Clear the dust and regain the Symbian Throne back. Have a nice day!

HTC Droid Incredible is truly incredible

HTC Droid Incredible saves the day



A club valet ecapes a ferocious firing proving he made the smartest choise when selecting his smart phone which is even smartly bullet proof

" The HTC Droid Incredible smartphone is officially incredible" , claims a news article dated back to Jan. 7, 2011 from the Geek.com's news archive.

According to the report, it hadn't been a good day for the nightclub valet John Garber when two customers get thrown out of the night hub had returned with their handguns and started firing at the rest of the club folks who didn't get an early kick out
One bullet destined to pierce Garber's chest had found its way through his coat but had been incredibly stopped from its wicked purpose by an HTC Droid Incredible, which sat in a pocket in exactly the right position proving its loyalty and solid durability even when the owner is stranded amid a gun battle in a wild club scene without any signal of hope for life.

As the marvelous news pick reports, "The bullet had hit the phone and the battery had managed to stop it dead.

" Garber walked away unharmed and with a great story to tell, and HTC has a customer for life " the story further reads.


Opera needs to lead in an intimate way!

It's Opera season !






"Clean up your computer to have the gift that can change everything"

Opera encourages users to spread awareness to try Opera desktop as a "Holiday Gift"


"A new browser is a gift that changes everything," claims Opera Software ASA, the developer of the massively successful browser in mobiles with ever growing user base - presently with 220 million users worldwide. " Opera 11.60 satisfies holiday techno lust" they further adds in a new press release celebrating their new release of its desktop version.

Press release dated Dec 6 2011 announces their newest venture is just in time for the holiday season to allure away almost 50 percent of the world population that has never tried a browser stepping out of the comfort zone of their computers default browser.

"Help them discover something better this year" asks Jan Standal, VP of desktop products of Opera Software. "A browser is a gift that keeps giving all year around"

"Its better to give than to recieve. So why not give that special someone a new browser" he emphasises.
"People spend more time working with their browsers than they do with their cars."

Founded in 1994 based on the idea that access to the web is a universal right and with the vision "One Web For All," Opera also delivers distribution, monetisation, engagement and marketing insights to developers publishers and brands around the world.

The new desktop version claims to have a "Star It" button to add favourite sites to speed dials, a redesigned new mail client, a new HTML5 parsing algorithm and a smarter secure connection that boost the speed of SSL site rendering. Stating ten reasons why you should try Opera, they continue to say that since the year end season is a time that you clean up everything and go for new things, may be you should try Opera new

It seems, browsers are more efficient taking people where they want to be, than automobiles these days.



A Call Girls Circle in G+ ?




Is a Dhaka Call Girls Ring operating under the auspices of G+ circles ?

Few days back, I searched for people in G+ with the keywords " Mobile Phone " and added any that came along with the search result to my Android circle to spam later in bulk. But an abhorable discovery took place when I recently preened photos from my circles and noticed some of the photos from a Picasa image gallery of a profile named Dhaka Phone Call Bangaladesh had leaked out as the photos were visible to public in broad daylight. At first there was that charming woman's photo and I thought to my self that someone had posted a photo of his intimate one . But when I further looked into it I was horrified to find that the photo is from an attached Picasa profile album boldly named Dhaka Escort/ Call Girls Gallery . There were few more uploaded photos of other girls but the profile lacked any posts. Is a Call Girls Ring operating from Google plus circles ? or were they adulterating G+ to have more exposure as a way to reach to a vast audience?. I am still unsure whether the saucy profile and the attached Picasa image gallery are social pranks by some urchin, but the photos were more of an unmistakable nature . Here is the link

Dhaka Escort/ Call Girls Gallery

I am still looking into the thing and you can add to the story through comments

the story is actualy of less significance as a news story and by now the profile probably should have been reported and removed . But it proved that G+ is bit vulnerable in a way that you always should take much care when you upload images to Picasa specially when you dont want to share them with the public and may be some have already begun to spoil the Eco system since the social network still doesnt have a solid user base to report any inappropriate behaviour so soon.


The man who saved android

The man who saved one of the most influential free moves



The man who saved Android

The Android, undoubted and undebated world's most loved and used mobile operating system which was listed as the best-selling smartphone platform worldwide in Q4 2010 by Canalys ( over 200 million Android devices in use by November 2011 ) and ultimately paved the way to found the Open Handset Alliance that is dedicated to advancing open standards for mobile and tablet devices, has reportedly drained founder's pockets at a very initial stage of it's development.
The Palo Alto start up in October, 2003 by Andy Rubin and several others with the objective to develop smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences, operated within much closed walls-according to early reports- only disclosing that they are after mobile apps. However the devoted secrecy had not paid a dime when the company had poured all the milk and cookies into the project setting the company in a financial fireball and the further developments had been at a risk in the same year the company had initiated its operations.

The saviour had been a benevolent enclosure in an envelope amounting to a lump sum 10,000 dollars by the man behind the technical mastery of the motion capture technology in the face of Benjamin Button {in the motion picture Curious Case named after its protoganist ) Steve Perlman who has refused anything in return.

Stephen G Perlman, the electronic engineer, software inventor and entrepreneur who devoted himself to pioneering Internet, entertainment, multimedia, consumer electronics and communications technologies and services is best known for the development of such works like QuickTime®, WebTV® and Mova® Contour™ facial capture technologies

Once being a Microsoft division president and a principal scientist at Apple Computer, Steve's never resting inovativeness is not to retire soon, in 2011, Perlman announced that he and his fellow engineers at Rearden have invented distributed-input-distributed-output (DIDO) technology, an experimental wireless communications system that could render cellular connections obsolete.

Android inc acquired by Google. in August 2005 making it a subsidiary of Google Inc

However its unclear why the aspiring enterpreneur and the visionary didnt like something in return and refused any stake in then thriving universal tech concept which was to pay off in the days to come and whether the face motion capture tech genius expected any cover up. But if the mystery man wasnt present then with the small financial backscratch, the Android would have been a total different story or a story we have never heard of

50 Samsung Galaxy Note facts you should know

Iphone 5 Pros and Cons



With mouthful of apps it sometimes hangs, freezes and even reboots or auto turns off itself without owner's prior consent

Widgets or such things won't perform from external storages

To manage your cut or copied texts from browser or any other apps, use Andclip(free). You can easily view save or delete them with it

The stock video player of the Note supports almost any type of videos. No need to convert. If your desired video is not playing, download mobo player from the app market

Sketchbook Mobile app is one brilliant app that recognises S-pen

Sony Ericsson MW600 Hi-Fi Wireless Headset is one of the best bluetooth headsets for Galaxy Note

If you think making calls with it holding it against ears is such a big ludicrous thing, use a handsfree

When you try to hang up and the screen stays black, press home button. It will bring back the screen.
Its not a bug but a security measure to avert your ears from accidentally hitting any unwanted options during an ongoin conversation

To switch between landscape and potrait modes in the browser, press menu>settings>landscape view.Check it or uncheck it accordingly

Samsung Galaxy Note will get Ice Cream Sandwich this year. Note it down

US carriers don't offer the Samsung Galaxy Note on contract yet. To get it from offshore, throw $650 to $700

On AT&T's 3G and 4G HSPA+ 21Mbps network it works perfect

On T-Mobile, you will get 2G EDGE

Its rumoured that the Galaxy Note is coming to AT&T

Dual core 1.4GHz Exynos CPU is considered the fastest

The Galaxy Note has a 5.3" Super AMOLED HD display with a massive 1280 x 800
pixels resolution, the same specs you get on an Android 10" tablet

The Note is empowered with a Wacom dual digitizer, supports capacitive multi-touch and active pen input from a EMR digital pen ( boxed ). It's a good news for artists, writers, bloggers on the go

Only on Samsung's notes app, drawing programs and few others you can use the pen. Adobe Reader, Quickoffice Pro and DocstoGo don't support it

Use ezpdf reader to sign documents on the Note( a paid app)

The copy paste thing of the note is cross platform, so it works everywhere. Virtually you can copy any text from any app and paste it on any other app

If the battery shows unusual behaviours like you fully charge it during night and still its 62% or 70 something left when you wake up, the machine is faulty. Go for a replacement. (the drainage should be around 3-4% for such instances at most)

To manage large HD video files about 5 to 6GB easily(to transfer to SD card etc), convert them to MKV format. It reduces the file size

If your on 2.3.5 firmware make it 2.3.7 through update. It fasten the performance

To get it to work with at&t, just input the APN after the SIM. Reported off peak downlink with AT&T is around 10.5meg, during the day, around 5-6meg

A white screen consumes a lot of battery since it has an AMOLED screen. It can be easily observed while browsing

A blurry effect occurs when a screen protector is used. However it's Gorilla glass after all which is also scratch-resistant. So if you go after screen protectors you want fully get what it offers

Note has the resolution of a tablet (1280x800), hence, the games are limited (unlike the more common screen resolutions like 480x800 of S2). So G-Note doesn't run most of the games out there

Using a bluetooth headset isn't that ugly even it sometimes can be interpreted as your talking to yourself. You get less radiation from bluetooth than you will from the antenna on the phone

Smart Communications, the Philippines' leading wireless services provider is giving this away free on an unlimited data plan, about USD44 but is charging for push mails and social networks. Plug in a Smart pro unlimited plan sim, the updates are free of charge

SAMSUNG GT-N8010 is the rumoured Galaxy Note II and will feature a bigger display, delightful ice cream sandwich and supposedly a WIFI dual

icloud, red eye reduction are two distinguishable features of the iphone you won't get on galaxy note

The battery life is far better than Galaxy S II, the formula is simple, bigger display = a capable battery

4G Network, Touch-sensitive controls, Corning Gorilla Glass, USB On-the-go are present

Some have replaced their laptops even

To transfer media, files to note from your laptop/pc by data cable, connect usb, click on mass storage from note then go fishing

Many consider it a tablet + a phone, thus samsung has set a new standard, leading marketing trend and has emancipated the consumers from the burden of carrying two devices at the same time. However in reality its yet a phone bundled with android 2.3.5 aka gingerbread. What's your moto? too big to be a phone or too good to be a phone ?

If the default battery juice doesn't quench your energy thirst buy an extra battery which will boost the performance and cost around 12 bucks for the same capacity

Asphalt 6 HD is now available on samsung app store to download

S-pen and S-note application do not work on other samsung phones

S Pen takes the user to a new level of functions

Sony ericsson Nozomy is on the way and the tabphone sphere will be on fire soon

Price is 620USD in Cambodia

To hide files, use Hide IT pro. One of the best tools. Rated 5* in android
market

To sync windows contacts to the phone, export your windows contacts as a .csv file and import to google account. Then login with the google ID from the phone

Can use as a modem via kies air and with wi-fi hotspot, tethering other devices is a breeze of ease

To watch live TV
on note? yes popular live tv apps like SPB Tv, rentadrone and live tv are facilitated

To move multiple items with one stroke, try Astro from andriod market.

More apps to hide your photos, videos or other files that you don't want the world to see,Try Vaulty

If the system memory isn't enough to pack all your apps, use App2SD Pro. It will automatically save apps into microSD memory card and with it you can transfer apps to USB memory too. Default system storage/memory of the galaxy note is only 2 gb. However its equipped with 11gb of usb storage. To move apps to an external memory card or USB memory the natural way, press menu key -> go to Manage Apps -> App (whatever you got) -> Move to SD card or USB. But most apps cannot be shifted this way

To move your files in bulk the natural way, go to 'my files', press options then more,then select move. Mark the files you want to move

Tubemate is the one of the best youtube downloaders out there

Best Video Format or best settings to convert videos to play on arc S ?

try these

resolution: 854x480 or 1280*720

than other formats)
audio: AAC 128Kbps

try MoboPlayer, vPlayer or for 720p.mkv try Diceplayer

3. Move all movable apps to sdcard
4. Use Link2SD to move apps to SDcard

Samsung Galaxy Nexus - few random thoughts

Perils and merits of unlocking bootloader

1. With an unlocked boot loader, you can root your phone
2. you may be denied warranty
3. you can always relock easily
4. you can have softwares that arent available for your phone
5. Its stable and secure with a locked bootloader
6. With a locked bootloader, If you lose your device, data
cannot be easily accessed ( you should have to have the stock recovery
installed, USB Debugging disabled and a password on your device. But still your phone is accessible and hackable by many apptricks)
7. cannot use fastboot
commands (cannot flash
or boot images, which is a time save)
8. cannot try new radios
9. cannot backup data
10. cannot root (on 4.0.4 and later)
11. cannot manually update to the latest version of Android ( have to wail until your phones version is officially out)

Do Live Wallpapers lag?

Go to settings > developers setting. Check whether you have force gpu dissabled. Forcing gpu to your
homescreen and wallpaper slows the phone
