HTC Unlock and Root/Return to Stock HTC Desire 610

BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) has hitherto been an exclusive flagship feature of the BlackBerry platform, but with the company having recently announced its decision to allow the instant messaging service to fly the nest as it were by crossing platforms to both iOS and Android, it now looks as though BBM for iOS and Android may just be a few weeks away now. According to a tweet sent out by T-Mobile UK, which was later pulled for reasons unknown and have also raised doubts, it’s going to be hitting the App Store and Google Play Store on June 27th.

In the initial announcement, BlackBerry cited the reason behind opening up BBM to wider audiences was one of confidence, in that the new BlackBerry 10 OS and associated devices could cope without the pull factor of the proprietary chat service. But that was all bluster of course, since if BlackBerry’s well-documented fall from grace hadn’t have occurred and the company still remained among the big players in the mobile game, there’s just no way BBM would have been shared.

Still, the motives don’t particularly matter, because whether BBM is relevant or not in the days of GTalk, iMessage and WhatsApp, it’s coming; and people are talking about it.

Like most folks, I did own a BlackBerry Bold many moons ago, and I don’t really know whether to be excited about the release of BBM for my iPhone and Android smartphone. I mean, when you ditch BlackBerry, most from within your group tend also to be making a similar transition, and having now sorted out a routine for keeping up with friends by combining WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage and SMS (sounds more complicated than it actually is, trust me), slotting BBM in there would just seem like a burden.

Then again, the amount of people still using BBM cannot be discounted, and with most people likely to try the app out of sheer curiosity, I certainly wouldn’t write off its chances of branching back out and helping the BlackBerry cause.

The question in the end remains whether or not the tweet sent out by T-Mobile UK is credible or not, since it has been removed after all. To put it in fair words; even we’re confused regarding the tweet’s legitimacy. What do you guys think? BBM on June 27th or not?

Future smartphones will be foldable, have a virtual avatar or be like robots in your hands? Take your guess!

Smartphones have revolutionized the way we live. No more queuing for getting a ticket booked, no more fear of getting lost in an unknown town, no more hustles for enjoying the internet and….( can write 100 things). The list is very long. We all are smartphone fans and are always excited about what to come in this sector. Companies know this and hence are involved in extensive research for making their smartphones heavy in features and light in expense.

It is tough to exactly predict what smartphones will look like and be like in the forthcoming time, but we can make our assumptions after analyzing the current state of the smartphone sector. We have concluded it to a list of capabilities which smartphones will feature. Some of them have already been introduced but are in their “beta” state. Some have gone far but still not upto the mark.

The list follows:
Augmented Reality

AR, acronym for Augmented Reality is the most common term you’ll hear from the people involved in R&D of smartphones.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

The following paragraph is for those who are new to this term, if you have seen the demonstration of AR, you may like to skip the next paragraph.

Suppose you are playing a game, a battle game lets say, you are the fighter and your home is the battlefield. Everything is so real that you feel that your home has turned into a battlefield. Sounds exciting, and is more exciting to feel.

Smartphones can be a great platform for AR to work. You’ll just have to open the camera and the phone will tell you about the restaurants nearby( or any other thing which you’re searching for), which otherwise would be a difficult task to open certain apps and then search, wait and then get incomplete results. The biggest hurdle faced in the development of AR is the limited recognition capacity. The capacity of our smartphones to recognize whats in their camera view. As this problem is circumvented , AR will be on the next step.
Flexible Screens:

Well, that is the start, in future you will be able to carry a smartphone with screen size as large as a big TV and the smartphone will fold and fit into your pocket.

The new OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology will allow screens of future to be foldable
and dual sided. And this magical screen will be as thin as a sheet of paper!
In Built Projector

Thats an old thing! Yes! we know, but the range and luminosity will be far much better in next gen smartphones that those phones will be able to serve as an alternate of projectors. You’ll just need a flat surface to enjoy high quality visuals.

Smartphones with in Built projector had been introduced in the previous decade. But they were not suitable for real life entertainment. Battery backup issue also created a trade-off. It is being hoped that these problems will be solved in the near future.
Seamless Voice Control:

Voice control has been receiving much attention since Siri made headlines. Voice control has existed in many earlier mobile phones even though the voice recognition function was crude at best. Research has been made to advance the development of voice control, but it has proved to be a paramount task.

The way Siri interprets the voice input has signaled a breakthrough in the ways of voice interpretation through artificial intelligence. Instead of just depending on the sound waves for recognition of commands, Siri also makes note of the diction and syntax. Such interfaces are more accurate and easy to use.

This, combined with gesture recognition may result in smartphones that will understand non verbal inputs and talk to us in the way other humans do.
Holograms and 3D Display

With Apple’s Retina Display, we’re already very much progressed in terms of screen quality. Next is the time for 3D. There are couple of smartphones already present in the market which have a 3D screen. We can expect this feature to be a common one among phones in future.
On further advancement, smartphones will be powered with holographic display. This means that you will be able to interact with your screen objects directly and in a fun way.

In case you have any wild guess about the future of smartphones, post it in the comments.

Facebook has long since been the world’s most visited social network, and rather than just offering the official app alongside a separate Messenger service, the social network has sought to go to town with its deep integration with the introduction of the Facebook Home APK for Android, which arrived two months back along with some other interesting features. Opinion has been mixed hitherto, with the new implementations having experienced quite a few teething issues on Google’s fragmented platform, but today, Zuck’s team has released a significant update to both Facebook and Facebook Home for Android. Details after the break.

In its current state, Facebook Home is certainly nothing to rave about, but the potential it has is unquestionable. Today’s rather substantial update is the latest step in Facebook’s quest to realize this potential, bringing a rather healthy bunch of new features to the table.

First and foremost, the official, original Facebook app now lets users add multiple photos into chat messages. The picture-sending feature has been limited to just one until now, but this annoyance will be no more thanks to the lifting of the restrictions.

On top of that, you can now easily alter post sharing settings, so if you would only like certain individuals to see some posts, you can do so on-the-go. It’s one of those features that seems as though it should have arrived a long time ago, but nonetheless, those keen to monitor and tweak their post sharing settings and rules will be able to do so with relative ease.

In Facebook Home, there’s now a new ‘favorites tray’ which lets you select some of your most-used apps and keep them in a convenient spot on your home screen. To add apps, all you need to do is drag and drop, and having given the newly-updated app a brief run-out on an HTC One, we can confirm the new features do function rather well.

The update to Facebook Home rolls straight through the official Facebook app, so if you download and update Facebook for Android app, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the new features.

You’ve been with your no-longer-so-brand-new Android phone for a long time now. It has become slow, there are apps that are no longer compatible with your operating system version and widgets and do not convey any emotion.

If your phone was a PC, you would have formatted and installed latest operating system. Same thing goes with Android, where you have to install ROM on device.

Firmware and ROM are one and the same thing: Read-only memory on your phone, can be said to be Soul of your Phone. Contains the Google Android operating system, duly adapted and configured to work with the hardware-specific mobile phone (antenna, computer graphics, cameras, etc.).

The operating system is in a read-only memory for two reasons: to prevent overwriting files, and to keep you faithful to small changes and integrated applications that manufacturers often include in their models. Being open source, Android allows for all sorts of modifications. In addition to the official ROM, very common thing you find is ROM made ??by groups of volunteers and enthusiasts who take the code base and add or remove features or skins. Even you yourself can create (cook) yours.

For the same reason you changed your phone, whatever. Some people need more performance, who want to upgrade the operating system to a later version without waiting for official update, and who wants to renew the look of your phone or just try new things.

No. Generally nothing happens as long as we follow the steps given correctly. Chances are new ROM may wipe out user data so, take backup (Titanium Backup is recommended). Or it may happen that some of your apps aren’t compatible with new ROM so, there are always alternatives to choose from million in Android Market.

Bricking of Phone (Phone actually becomes no more than a brick) is an extreme case which results out of carelessness and improper following of instructions.

Your Phone needs to be rooted, the next step is to install ROM Manager, a great app that lets you download and flash new ROM and change the recovery (recovery mode of mobile) with ClockworkMod, from which it is possible to perform full backups and delete the phone memory, among many other things.

To install ClockWorkMod Recovery, Press the menu option in the ROM Manager. After downloading the image with the latest version of recovery, the app will ask you to restart the phone in recovery mode. From Recovery Mode, you can get back to normal mode with Reboot option.

ROM Manager has another important feature of installing ROM from SD Card. You generally have to download Custom ROM provided by developer and insert that ZIP file into root directory of SD card and then flash it.

There is nothing like Perfect ROM but still, choosing a ROM for your Android phone is not a simple matter. Before flashing a note the following:

There are many more, some more stable than others. All bring something, but the choice is up to you. You can always browse XDA Forums to find the one for yourself.

The notebook market is becoming a very blurred environment, with touchscreen options and detachable keyboards crossing over with the tablet market on a frequent basis. These tablet-notebook devices are often referred to as hybrids, but Samsung has come through with an alternative kind of concoction by announcing a convertible that can dual boot Windows 8 and Android 4.2.2. Moreover, the ATIV Q packs in a fantastically sharp 3200×1800 13.3-inch display, and with an S Pen Stylus also a part of a device just 0.55 inches thick, this might just be the all-in-one you’ve been holding out for.

Samsung is always seeking to forge new markets, as demonstrated with the Galaxy NX camera, which combines some features of your typical DSLR allied to the familiar Android interface. The ATIV Q arrives with a similar intention in mind; to allow consumers the best of both worlds in one nicely crafted device.

One of the immediately striking features of the ATIV Q is its 13.3-inch display packing in super high-resolution of 3200×1800. For pixel density, it’s up there with the sharpest of them, and whether you’re running the touch-ready Windows 8 or Jelly Bean 4.2.2, you’re unlikely to notice anything spoiling a very crisp, uber smooth experience.

As for weight, it’s only 2.84 lbs., and considering, as aforementioned, it’s only 0.55 inches thick, you don’t have to forgo sleekness for a solid performance.

Detailed technical specifications are, as yet, unknown, but one suspects there’ll be an Intel i5 processor therein, with the option of an upgradable i7 for those willing to pay, and it is of the Haswell variety. If you’re seriously considering the ATIV Q, we’ll be keeping a lookout for more information. The battery life is amazing, going all the way up to 9 hours on standard usage, something which is to be expected when running on Intel’s next-gen processor. It comes with 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, micro HDMI and an SD card slot for good measure.

It would appear as though Windows 8 houses a virtual Android experience, with a specialized app pinned to the Start Screen.

The device itself also has a smart hinge which allows the screen to be angled any which way, and on the face of it, the Ativ Q looks a pretty solid overall notebook.

The specs, as well of the extent of this Android support, will indeed be key factors, but on first impressions, Samsung looks to have created something that is more than worth the consideration of consumers.

Thoughts?

When looking into purchasing a new smartphone, consumers look at a wide range of variables before making a final decision. This can vary from person to person, with some looking for a great camera and high quality display, while others are more focused on longevity, with removable batteries and microSD expansion. Whatever your personal points of consideration may be, most of us can unite on the fact that we want our devices to be able to withstand the day-to-day wear and tear it will inevitably go through. If you are considering a purchase of the hottest property in the mobile industry right now, the Samsung Galaxy S4, will surely want to know whether it can hold its own in the big bad world, and the video stress test below gives a general idea of how rugged the current darling of the Android space is when faced with various situations.

Of course, the best course of action anybody can take upon the purchase of a new smartphone is to pay out for a decent, reputable and protective case. But even then, it’s a last line of defense rather than a failsafe, and as such, it’s nice to have a general idea in advance of how tough your beastly new smartphone will be when you take it into the wild.

The stress tests are provided officially by Samsung, so by default, cannot be classed as strictly objective. However, it doesn’t look like the testing techniques have been rigged to flatter the company’s flagship handset, so the fact that it performed rather well after being dropped, smashed, submerged in water, and placed in other situations that would send a chill down our spines as owners, is neither here nor there.

If you’re looking for a Galaxy S4 that can really hold its own, you may want to consider the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, which is both waterproof and dust-proof.

Check out the full video clip of the Galaxy S4 being put through its paces below. The video is in Korean, so you mightn’t understand what is being said, but a scene of a smartphone being placed into a walnut cracker really doesn’t require much by way of commentary.

Noticed how the phone was running stock Android in some places?
