Apple iOS 7

Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - 0 Comments

The official promo WWDC 2013 AD of iOS7 :

iOS 7, the latest version of Apple’s flagship mobile operating system, is here, and it’s almost entirely different from the versions that came before. Gone are the skeuomorphic designs and 3D effects, replaced by Sir Jony Ive’s “flat design.” Rumors had been flying for weeks about the new OS and now it’s here and it is, at least at this early reckoning, a massive change for the six year old operating system.

NEW LOOK:

iOS 7 has a new font leading the way, which seems to be a sort of Helvetica Neue Ultra. It’s very skinny, clean, and it was hinted at in the iOS 7 banners that went up for WWDC yesterday.
Instead of white bars on a black background, Apple will now tell you what kind of service coverage you have with five little dots, which are white and grey depending on how strong the signal is across a translucent background.
The lock screen is changed for the first time in iOS’s history, with no more shine top or bottom bars for slide to unlock or the clock. Instead, Slide to unlock is translucent above the background image.
Default app icons are now flatter, but not quite flat, just as predicted.
Jony Ive’s hand has had its way with iOS notifications. The notifications panel isn’t laced with dark grey linen anymore, but actually has a very flat look to it. There is a today view, that lets you see friends birthdays, upcoming invitations, calendar, stocks, and a quick look at tomorrow.
The apps all seem to have a white base, except for the stocks app which has a black background and the weather app, which shows motion in the background to convey the current weather.
The keyboard is more white, than grey, with a translucency that lets you see what’s underneath the keyboard.

CONTROL CENTER

Control Center is a pull-up tray that is available in your lock screen.
You can adjust brightness, volume, and other settings including Wifi, Airplane mode, rotation lock, or Bluetooth.
The Control Center even offers a flashlight, along with tabs for music, camera, and other quick-access apps.
The Control Center takes on the environment it’s in, so if you swipe up while you’re in mail, it will have the same blue and white coloring under that translucent panel.

MULTITASKING

iOS 7 lets you multitask between all third-party apps with much better battery consumption.
You can double-tap the home button to enter into multi-tasking mode, just like always, but the interface for multitasking has been revamped. It appears to offer live previews, but Apple wasn’t clear about that.

SAFARI

Safari opens straight into full screen mode now, with the option to pull down to bring up the search bar at the top.
The search field has been improved to be a unified smart search field, which lets you have access to all your favorite websites with a single tap.
Tabs come with a totally new interface, scrolling in a vertical carousel, and there are no longer any limits. In other words, you can have as many tabs as you want, as opposed to just 8 like before. Swipe a tab off to the side to throw it away.
The new Safari is integrated with iCloud keychain from OS X Mavericks, and also comes with parental controls.

AIRDROP

You can share sharesheets with other people by simply tapping their name. No NFC required.
Airdrop supports iPhone 5, iPad 4th gen, iPad Mini.

CAMERA AND PHOTOS

The Camera app lets you swipe between your various camera types, such as panorama or HDR so you can quickly take a pic instead of fumbling around with settings.
Photos marks the first update to the photo gallery on iOS since it was introduced.
You can search based on date, and location, within the photos app.
Instagram must be flattered — Apple has introduced photo filters so you can add a little professionalism to the picture.
Users can share via AirDrop, iCloud photo-sharing, as well as shared Photo Streams.
You can even share video with iCloud photo-sharing.

SIRI:

Siri has a new voice! It sounds similar, but also weird. You can choose a male or female voice, if you like. Voices include languages like French, German, and other languages “over time.”
The visual UI has also been upgraded, with a sound wave going along the bottom.
Siri has also been integrated with settings, letting you tell her to turn on bluetooth, or lower the screen brightness.
The company has also added support for Twitter, Wikipedia, and shows web search results direct from Bing.

IOS IN THE CAR

iOS in the Car depends a lot on Siri.
It puts the iOS homescreen on the screen of your car, and lets you search for directions, listen to music, etc.

APP STORE

You can now search for apps based on location. In other words, search for apps by the Louvre and see a lot of French museum apps.
The App Store also automatically updates apps for you in the background now. Hallelujah again!

ITUNES RADIO:

Apple has finally introduced the much-anticipated iTunes Radio, which gives a Genius-like experience to the entire 26-million title iTunes catalog.
You can see the full list of songs on each station by clicking history, with purchase and preview buttons built right in to send you to the iTunes store.
iTunes Radio also lets you customize each station by clicking a star to show that you want more of this type of music.
iTunes Match users will get an ad-free experience, but others will be able to use the app for free with a few audio and text ads.

ACTIVATION LOCK:

This is for those of us who have had an iPhone stolen.
If a thief steals your phone and tries to turn off Find My iPhone, they can no longer turn the device back on without your iCloud password.
Users can also block messages and calls from other users.

Iphone 6 rumors and news

Sunday, June 9, 2013 - 1 Comment

Rumours for the next iPhone are flying around, with much speculation surrounding when it will be released and what the new features will be.

Perhaps the first question to consider is what will the next model be? Some say the iPhone 5S will be released first and the iPhone 6 next year, in line with Apple’s current releasing trend. However, in April there were reports that Foxconn added 10,000 assembly line workers each week to its Zhengzhou plant ready for the IPhone 6 release date, sparking rumours that the iPhone 6 could also be expected this year. One thing seems certain, expect a new model soon!

will iphone6 have a plastic case???!!!

With competition hotting up from other handset manufacturers, Apple have got their work cut out keeping up with new and interesting features. One rumour is that Apple is working on a plastic case, with a possible feature of being able to see the internal metal working parts. Whether this is for the iPhone 5s or the iPhone 6 remains to be seen.

So here a few of the reliable ( and not so reliable!) things we may or may not see in the next iPhone.

Processor – The quad-core A7 processor is set to replace the current A6. Although more powerful, it will be more efficient and this should improve the battery life.
Eye-Tracking – As more and more vendors move towards using eye-tracking devices, it makes sense that Apple will work on including this feature too.
Camera – For those of you who love snapping photos, the new 13 megapixel sensor will take up less room, but still provide the same quality of the image.
Screen – The Retina+ Sharp IGZO display should have a 1080p Full HD resolution.
NFC – Many of the current Android phones have NFC. Michael Barrett (PayPal’s chief information security officer) said in a recent keynote speech: ” There is going to be a fingerprint enabled phone on the market later this year”. Is he talking about the iPhone 6?!
iOS 7 – It is expected that iOS 7 will be released in September or October which means the iPhone 6 is certain to run it. Apple is also promising to give developers “an in-depth look at what’s next in iOS and OS X”. Although this may appeal to new iOS users, it could put off older iPhone users.
3d – Speculation over the iPhone 6 having 3d refuses to go away. However, the jury is still out on whether it is a desired feature or not. If you’re not bothered about watching 3d movies on your smart phone, is it really necessary?

Some unreliable sources on the net have also suggested that the iPhone 6 will come with a two-size handset option, a 4.8 inch display and that the touchscreen could even be transparent. Although these sound great, we will have to see if these ever materialise!

How to download paid android apps for free

Monday, May 6, 2013 - 0 Comments

1) File sharing Websites

The best way to download Android apps for free is through file sharing websites. The file sharing on these websites is done by Android users who download or buy paid apps and upload them in file sharing websites. The best popular file sharing websites are: www.4shared.com, www.mediafire.com and www.filecrop.com. Out of them all 4shared is best and most popular and i will prefer it as it’s the easiest. Steps to download paid app from these websites-

Go to any of these websites and type the app name you want to download for free and add the extension of “.apk”. For example if you want to download ADWLauncher EX ( a paid app in Google play), type adw launcher ex .apk and press enter.The results will then be viewed.
From the results click the latest uploaded file and download it.
Once the .apk file is downloaded, transfer it to your phone with USB cable and install it on your phone.

Note: You can also download 4shared app from market instead of searching apps in web.

2) BlackMart Alpha app

BlackMart Alpha is an Android app itself. To use this app for downloading paid apps for free you need to search for BlackMart Alpha in the above mentioned file sharing sites. Search results will appear. Download this application. Transfer and install it on your smart phone.

After installation, open the BlackMart Alpha app. A same design will appear as Android market app on your smart phone.
A list of apps will appear in this app. You can also use the search option to search and download a paid app.
Search results will appear. The price of the specified or searched app is struck out. Click on download and install it directly on your smart phone for free.

Note: You can download any app but don’t update any app from BlackMart Alpha as there are chances that it might corrupt that app.

3) Paying for app in Android market

The last tip which is most reliable and the best way to download the paid app is by paying for an app in Android market. To use this option you should have a good file explorer app like ASTRO File Manager and ES File Explorer.

Install ES File Explorer or ASTRO File Manager.
Go to Android market and purchase any app. Within the 15 minutes of trial period you can get the full refund if you cancel the order.
The app gets downloaded on your smart phone.
Open ES file explorer and click on Options > Manager > App Manager.
Go to list of installed apps and press on the app you just purchased and click on backup. The app backup will be made in backup folder of your SD card.
Once the backup is made, cancel the order and install it from the backup folder again. Your money will be refunded after you cancel the order.

So these were the best ways to download any apps for free. But my self I am a computer engineer and always advice to follow the right steps to download any app. Just pay for the app in the Android market and enjoy. Developers put a lot of efforts in creating apps and one should respect their efforts and time.

How to use your android phone to control computer remotely

Sunday, May 5, 2013 - 0 Comments

Are you tired of providing on-site tech support for your friends and family? Providing support remotely is an easy way to help them while maintaining your sanity. If you don't have a computer nearby, but have your Android phone you can still help. Here's how:

Computer setup

Step 1:
On the computer you want to remote control, download "TeamViewer QuickSupport" from TeamViewer. The downloaded file is named TeamViewerQS_en.exe. The program is self-contained so it does not need to be installed.

Step 2:
Double-click on the TeamViewerQS_en.exe file to launch TeamViewer on the computer you want to control.

Step 3:
At the main screen, the numeric ID of that system is listed and a numeric password for that session. Make a note of the ID and password as you'll need that information later.

Step 4:
If you're setting this up on someone else's computer, you may want to create a shortcut for them or place the file on their desktop so they can find it more easily when they need your help. Once you've connected to the computer, a small window with a session list will pop up in the lower right-hand corner.
TeamViewer session list.

Android setup

Step 1:
On your Android phone, install TeamViewer from the Android Market and launch it. In the first box, enter the ID of the "partner" computer. In the second box, enter the password and tap the "Connected to partner" button.

Step 2:
Once connected, you'll see gesture control instructions.

Step 3:
Close the instruction screen to see the desktop of the remote computer.
TeamViewer connected
.

You've got control! Now you can help your in-law's figure out how to use Netflix streaming or add an RSS feed to Google Reader. You can help someone with just about anything he or she might need help with, without having to physically be there. You can use the mouse, type, print, and even reboot the remote computer.

The Android version of TeamViewer does have a few limitations, compared with the computer version. The Android version does not support local audio, text chat ,video chat, or file transfers.
