LeakyLeak Nokia Lumia 928 renders – with Xenon Flash coming to Verizon





A render of the much rumored handsets has just been leaked by @evleaks - here’s the Nokia Lumia 928 renders.

Xenon Flash
Polycarbonate body
PureView Camera
Verizon branding
Fabula design (as with 920)
4G LTE
Also has LED

Contrary to what most rumors have been saying about Verizon’s handset it does NOT have an aluminum/metal casing (which I know some of you were hoping for); however it does make up for it with the a Xenon flash. The first Lumia in fact to carry such a flash, which should come to a relief to many of you out there; especially since some have gone as far as stating that a Pureview without Xenon flash, is not worthy of the Pureview title at all.

Samsung plans to ship more than half a billion phones next year


Samsung has some seriously ambitious plans for next year as it’s gearing toward shipping 510 million phones in 2013, up from expected 420 million this year. That’s like a 20% growth year-over-year!

But wait, there’s more – the vast majority (390 million) of these devices will be smartphones, making the Korean company the world’s largest smartphone maker ever.

The information, in case you wonder, comes from “an executive at one of Samsung’s key suppliers”, according to The Korea Times. And while he/she may be super-bullish on the company’s prospects, Gartner thinks Sammy will move around 250-300 million smartphones next year.

When it comes to where all those phones will be made, some 240 million will be manufactured in Vietnam, 170 million in China, 40 million in South Korea, and 20 million in India. And those Vietnamese facilities are expected to grow bigger with Samsung planning to invest around $2.2 billion by 2020 to boost their output even more…

Some Tips To Extent Your iPhone Battery Life



Anyone who’s used an iPhone for even a few days has discovered that while these phones are more powerful, and more fun, than perhaps any other cell or smart phone, one place they don’t excel is battery life. Any halfway intensive iPhone user will recharge their phone almost every couple of days.

There are ways to conserve iPhone battery life, but many of them involve turning off services and features, which makes it a choice between all the cool things that the iPhone can do and having enough juice to do them.

Here are  tips to help you extend your iPhone battery life:

1. Turn on Auto-Brightness

The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when theres more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.

Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On

2. Reduce Screen Brightness

You can control the default brightness of your iPhone screen with this slider. Needless to say, the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.

Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper

3. Turn Bluetooth Off

Bluetooth wireless networking is especially useful for cell phone users with wireless headsets or earpieces. But transmitting data wirelessly takes battery and leaving Bluetooth on to accept incoming data at all times requires even more juice. Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.

Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off

4. Turn Off 3G/4G

The iPhone 3G and later models can take advantage the speedy 3G and 4G LTE cellular phone networks. Not surprisingly, using 3G, and especially 4G LTE, requires more battery life to get the quicker data speeds and higher-quality calls. It’s tough to go slower, but if you need more battery, turn off 3G or LTE and just use the older, slower networks. Your battery will last longer (though you’ll need it when you’re downloading websites more slowly!).

Find it in Settings -> General -> Cellular -> Slide Enable 3G to Off on some models or Enable LTE to Off on the iPhone 5 or newer

5. Keep Wi-Fi Off

The other kind of high-speed network that the iPhone can connect to is Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is even faster than 3G, though it’s only available where there’s a hotspot (not virtually everywhere like 3G). Keeping Wi-Fi turned on at all times in hopes that an open hotspot will appear is a sure way to drain your battery life. So, unless you’re using it right this second, keep Wi-Fi turned off.

Find it in Settings -> WiFi -> Slide to Off

6. Turn Off Location Services

One of the coolest features of the iPhone is its built-in GPS. This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.

Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off

7. Turn Data Push Off

The iPhone can be set to automatically suck email and other data down to it or, for some kinds of accounts, have data pushed out to it whenever new data becomes available. You’re probably realized by now that accessing wireless networks costs you battery life, so turning data push off, and thus reducing the number of times your phone connects to the network, will extend your battery’s life. With push off, you’ll need to set your email to check periodically or do it manually (see the next tip for more on this).

Find it in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Fetch New Data -> Slide to Off

8. Fetch Email Less Often

The less often your phone accesses a network, the less battery it uses. Save battery life by setting your phone to check your email accounts less often. Try checking every hour or, if you’re really serious about saving battery, manually. Manual checks means you’ll never have email waiting for you on your phone, but you’ll also stave off the red battery icon.

Find it in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Fetch New Data -> Select Your Preference

9. Auto-Lock Sooner

You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.

Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference

10. Turn off Equalizer

The iPod app on the iPhone has an Equalizer feature that can adjust music to increase bass, decrease treble, etc. Because these adjustments are made on the fly, they require extra battery. Turn the equalizer off to conserve battery. This means youll have a slightly modified listening experience - the battery savings might not be worht it to true audiophiles - but for those hoarding battery power, its a good deal.

Find it in Settings -> Music -> EQ -> Tap off

11. Do Less-Battery-Intensive Things

Not all ways to save battery life involve settings. Some of them involve the way you use the phone. Things that require the phone be on for long periods of time, or use a lot of system resources, suck the most battery. These things include movies, games, and browsing the web. If you need to conserve battery, limit your use of battery-intensive apps.

12. Sleep and Wake Less

Constantly putting your phone to sleep and waking it up will drain battery life. Of course these functions are common parts of using the phone, but you can also be judicious in your turning on and off of the phone and save battery life at the same time.

13. Buy an Extended Life Battery

If all else fails, just get more battery. A few accessory makers like mophie and Kensington offer extended life batteries for the iPhone. If you need so much battery life that none of these tips help you enough, an extended life battery is your best bet. With one, you’ll get days more standby time and many hours more use.


14. iPhone 4S & iOS 5: Turn Off Other Location Settings

Use this tip if your iPhone 4S or devices upgraded to iOS 5 are burning through battery life too quickly. Its probably a software bug, so Apple may fix it and this tip may go away, but in the meantime, here it is.

A number of additional location services introduced in iOS 5 seem to be draining battery too quickly. Turn them off and you should regain some battery life.

Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Turn off Diagnostics & Usage, Location-Based iAds, and Setting Time Zone

How to Speed up your PC

Want a simple way to speed up your PC?
ReadyBoost is a service in windows that can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards. When you plug a ReadyBoost-compatible storage device into your computer, the AutoPlay dialog box gives you the option to use ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can choose how much memory on the device to use for this purpose.

How to Use

  1. Plug a flash drive or flash memory card into your computer.
  2. In the Autoplay dialog box, under General options, click Speed up my system.



  3. In the Properties dialog box, click the ReadyBoost tab, and then do one of the following:
    • To turn ReadyBoost off, click Do not use this device.
    • To use the maximum available space on the flash drive or memory card for ReadyBoost, click Dedicate this device to ReadyBoostWindows will leave any files already stored on the device, but itll use the rest to boost your system speed.
      Picture of the ReadyBoost tab
    • To use less than the maximum available space on the device for ReadyBoost, click Use this device, and then move the slider to choose the amount of available space on the device you want to use.
  4 .Once you click OK, ReadyBoost will configure the device to use the cache and immediately begin using it

In order to ensure the safety, integrity, and efficiency of the ReadyBoost system, Microsoft has added several safeguards.


To begin with, the data on device is automatically encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard — AES 128. Therefore, if you happen to lose the device, you won’t have to worry about someone getting access to data.


While the operating system will actually work from the cache on the device, all the data in the cache is mirrored on the hard disk. Therefore, if you inadvertently remove the device while it’s in use by ReadyBoost, the operating system will immediately fall back to the cache on the hard disk and pick up right where it left off.

How to set up Firefox Sync

When you set up Firefox Sync on your computer, all of your data and preferences (such as your bookmarks, history, passwords, open tabs and installed add-ons) gets stored securely on the Mozilla servers. Then you can connect other devices (a mobile phone for example) and they will be automatically synchronized, giving you access to all of your information no matter where you are. This article will walk you though setting up Firefox Sync for the first time.




Setting up your Firefox Sync Account

Step 1

In Firefox 4, Click the Firefox menu button at the top-left of the browser.  From the menu Select Options.*


*If the Firefox button does not appear in your browser, Press the Alt+T key-combination to open the tools menu, then Select Options.
Firefox 4 - Options menu

Step 2

In the options menu, Click the Sync tab and then Click Set Up Firefox Sync.
Sync tab on Firefox 4 for set up sync
On the next screen Click the top button that says Create a New Account.
create a new firefox sync account

Step 3

Now you’ll need to fill in a couple different things to create your account.  Enter your email address, and then also enter your password for the sync setup.  Once you’ve filled in the details, Click the Sync Options button.
Tip:  Keep your password something easy to remember. A hacker will need either access to your device or your Sync Key in order to get into your sync account, so a strong password is not necessarily required (but still recommended).
firefox sync account details entry, sync options button

Step 4

From the Sync Options window that appears, Uncheck any items that you don’t want to be synced.  For me I don’t want my online passwords being stored on my phone or other computers, and I don’t need my history synced between devices either.
When done, go back and Click Next on the previous window.


uncheck unwanted sync items

Step 5

Firefox will now give you your newly generated sync key. It is very important that you do not lose this number!  Write it down, print it out, screenshot it and save, do whatever it takes to remember it.  Personally, I just copy mine to a text file and dump it in my Dropbox or email so I can access it anywhere.
If you lose this number and lose access to a synced device, you will not be able to get into your sync account ever again; you also won’t be able to register the same email address to make a new account.  Mozilla (Firefox) does not keep this number on their server, so nobody will be able to recover it for you.
Once you’ve got it backed up, Click Next.
save your firefox sync key, very important

Step 6

Solve the captcha puzzle and Click Next.
solve captcha to complete firefox sync account creation

Done!

Your Firefox sync account is set up and your Firefox 4 client is now synced to the server.  After you Click Finish you’ll be brought to the following page automatically: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sync/firstrun.html
Now you can start adding other devices to your Firefox 4 sync account, and we’ll continue walking through that below.

Connecting Another Computer

Step 1

In Firefox on your additional computer, open up the Options menu.
open firefox 4 options

Step 2

Click the Sync tab in the options menu, then Click Set up Firefox Sync.

Step 3

Next Click the bottom button on the Firefox Sync page, titled Connect.
connect to a firefox sync account

Step 4

On the Add a Device page, Click the link on the bottom that says “I don’t have the device with me.”

dont have device with me, add a device to firefox sync

Step 5

Type in your Firefox 4 sync account email address and password.  Then Type in our Sync KeyClick Next when finished.
sign into firefox sync using your email, password, and sync key

Done!

Your Firefox 4 account is now synced on an additional computer.  You can repeat this process as many times as you like.  I have all of my computers running on one Firefox Sync account, and it keeps things groovy.  Being able to easily jump between computers without losing my open browsing tabs is a really useful feature to have.
All that is left now is to add Firefox sync to your phone, below we’ll talk about the process for Android.
  firefox 4 sync setup complete window

Syncing An Android Phone

Step 1

First, you’ll need the Firefox Android app.*  Once the app is installed, Open the Firefox app.
On the outside of your phone Press the menu button and then Tap Preferences on your phone’s screen.
*If you are using Dolphin or some other browser, there are plugins that will do the same thing but to keep tings simple we won’t be talking about those today.
android phone firefox app preferences

Step 2

On the main preferences tab, Click the Connect button.
 connect firefox android app to sync

Step 3

Now we have two different options. 
Option 1:  If you have a computer nearby that already has Firefox synced it is the easiest.  The three rows of numbers and letters will need to be typed into a synced computer’s Firefox 4 client, and we’ll go over that below.
Option 2Alternatively if there is no synced computer nearby, you can just Tap I’m not near my computer and then enter in your Account Name (which is actually your email address), Password, and Sync key.
sync password and randomly generated characters

Step 4

Assuming you went with Option 1, now you need to get on your synced computer’s Firefox 4 browser.  Open up the Options window and then on the Synced tab Click Add a Device.
 add a synced device on your computer

Step 5

Type in the 3 rows of letters and numbers just as they appear on your Android phone, then Click Next.
add a device by entering letter-number character password

Done!

Your phone should automatically refresh itself, and it is now synced.  On the preferences page you can now see the account your are synced to, and disconnect (un-sync) option is also available.  Now your tabs and other browser items should be linked to the ones on your computer, and vice versa.
firefox synced to android phone

How to Unsync Firefox 4 On Your Computer

If you want to get rid of Firefox sync, you’ve come to the right spot on this page.  Note that removing Firefox sync will also clear out your preferences and account information on your Firefox 4 client.

Step 1

Open up the Firefox 4 Options window, and then on the Sync tab Click the Deactive this Device link.
disable firefox 4 sync

Step 2

Click the Reset All Information link to confirm that you want to un-sync.
confirm disable firefox 4 sync

Completely Done!

Indian Railways to launch mobile phone ticketing app

Indian Railways has announced they are developing a mobile ticketing application for mobile phones.

The application will be available to download onto a mobile phone and tickets will be sent by text message.

Anyone using the app would have to carry proof of identification but will no longer have to queue for tickets at stations.

Passengers in rural areas of India often have to purchase tickets from a travel agency, where they can often be sold at higher prices.


This new form of ticket purchasing could make the railways much more accessible to those who live in rural areas, away from a main station where tickets aren’t sold.

Individuals will need to be registered on the IRCTC’s Online Passenger Reservation System in order to reserve tickets.

Indian Railways say they are not looking to increase ticket prices.

How to Avoid Being Penalized By Consistent Google Panda Updates

Google Panda is an algorithm that is used by the popular search engine to find websites and pages in poor quality. A site that is of poor quality may end up being “panda slapped” and will be removed from the Google search engine or severely penalized.

This is an algorithm that has recently been updated to easily find pages that are not of good quality. However, you can avoid penalties if you use the right standards with Google Panda.
How to Avoid Being Penalized By Consistent Google Panda Updates

You should create more original items on your website. Google Panda will penalize sites that do not have any unique contents on them. You should make sure that everything on your site is original and does not feature any copies of things that you might have placed on other sites.

Do not duplicate your content:

Duplicate content is content that will be the same on multiple pages on your site. It will cause your site to appear repetitive and unoriginal. You should make sure that you are using more unique content if you want to keep your site looking as unique as possible.

Keep your ads working?

You should monitor exactly who is sponsoring your site with regards to what contents they have to offer. Ads that do not relate to what people are searching for when getting on your site can appear in some cases. They can keep your site from being as useful as possible.

Make your site understandable:

You should also see that you are making it obvious as to what every page on your site is about. Google Panda tends to view vague or unclear pages in a negative manner. It will end up creating penalties on sites that are not clear in quality or content. You should make sure that you avoid vague pages when you are getting a site ready.

Focus on keeping it easy:

A website should be very easy to move around. A user should not have any problems with going from one section of a site to another. Google Panda will look through all of these problems and will penalize sites that are not easy to move around. You should make sure that you keep your site clear and easy to handle if you want to avoid being penalized.

Consistent updates are key:

The last thing to do is to keep your site updated when you can. A blog on your site can help you out. Keeping your blog updated with relevant updates and details on your site can help you out with getting your site to be a relevant and well updated one.

These are good tips to use if you want to keep your site from being harmed by Google Panda. It will help to keep from dealing with problems that relate to Google Panda by keeping your site relevant and keeping all of its content under control. Doing the right things can help you to keep your site from being seen as an irrelevant one that may be hit by Google Panda.
