HTC Butterfly 2 Flying our Way Next January [Images Leaked]

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 12:32 PM PDT

The brains behind HTC are at the moment working on the sequel of a Butterfly. The huge phones which were first released last year were a huge success and even earned good remarks from the critiques. By January 2104, HTC is rumored to launch Butterfly 2 and it is pointless to say that everyone is keenly waiting for it.

HTC Butterfly 2Today a few pictures were leaked that show the front panel of HTC butterfly 2. The style of the HTC butterfly is similar to the last one; the design is highly top-notch along with the HTC label printed on it. There is a long-hole band at the bottom of the phone, although its purpose has not been defined yet. The panels are available in

White, black and blue – all drastically bold colors.

HTC Butterfly 2 is expected to bring high-end specifications which include a Qualcomm snapdragon 800 processors that will make the phone a "real success." The butterfly 2 like LG G2 shall have a 5.2 inch full HD display of 1080p. Rumors have also been flying that device will be waterproof like all the Sony devices.

Other specifications regarding the camera and phone's abilities have not been outlined yet. Guess we will have to wait for the start of the next year.

The original version of the HTC Butterfly was released in Japan and all the Asian markets and even in the USA but the version following known as HTC Butterfly S was unable to reach beyond the markets of Asia. The regions where the new version will be released are not known yet.

iPhone 5s Fingerprint Recognition Security Flaw Discovered [Video]

Posted: 28 Sep 2013 06:16 PM PDT

A German group of hackers known to be the largest and most respected hacking groups, go under the title of the Chaos Computing Club (CCC). The group recently announced that they have found a way to defeat Apple's touch ID system. Two experts of the iPhone's security system claimed that they believe the group when they say they found the way to fool the Touch ID.

iPhone 5s touch ID

They used the worlds' oldest trick, by creating a latex copy of someone's fingertips and using it on the scanner. They photographed the iPhone user's fingerprint, printed them on a transparent sheet and were able to create a "fake finger" to deceive the Touch ID. As a phone is a device that is highly accessible being portable, the break in the phone is still possible.

“Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything. You leave them everywhere, and it is far too easy to make fake fingers out of lifting prints,” a hacker named Starbug. "Touch ID just added convenience rather than security," he added.

The process that took hours to accomplish consisted of cracking a long number of devices such as image scanners, laser printers and etching printed circuit board kits. People leave their fingerprints in every possible place. Obtaining a set of fingerprints is not a difficult work at all. If these claims are proven true, it could be quite embarrassing for Apple as it has claimed its Touch ID to be the reason that makes it different from all the other companies.

“I think it’s legit,” said Dino Dai Zovi,” another co-author of the iOS Hacker’s Handbook. “The CCC doesn’t fool around or over-hype, especially when they are trying to make a political point.”

Fix iOS 7 Battery Drain Issues with these Easy Tips

Posted: 27 Sep 2013 05:31 PM PDT

iOS 7 with its remarkably enriched outlook has been the discussion title for almost every blog and forum. Where some people are in awe of its look, others are pointing out all the issues and the flaws of the new system among which the battery life of the phone is also raising many questions.

iOS 7 Battery LifeiOS 7 eats up battery life a little too fast for the comfort of the users. But for the sake of the customers, we have been looking at different ways to stretch the phone's battery life. The first very basic step to take is to turn off your WI-Fi connection when you are not using it. WI-FI connections absorb up battery like nothing else.

The updates for applications and backgrounds should also be turned off. Tim Cook granted Sen. John Mccain's wish to have automatic updates all the time, but the energy drained through these updates is a lot. All you need to do is go to settings, iTunes & App store and change the Updates navigator.

Disabling AirDrop is also another way to save battery. You just need to go to the control center and disable AirDrop.
You can also turn off the Parallax Shifter to turn off the 3D display. Just go to settings, general, accessibility and set the Reduce motion to Off.

Other than this, you can turn off your location services for apps and functions that do not require it by going to the settings, privacy and then location services. Lastly, you can turn off the auto brightness navigator. It not only helps dim the sunlight shining on your face but actually saves a lot of battery!

iOS 7.0.2 Will Not Act as a Barrier to Upcoming Jailbreak

Posted: 27 Sep 2013 11:41 AM PDT

The history of the previous jailbreaks and their success, has kept the general public hungry for the new jailbreak coming. The release of iOS 7.0.2 has been bringing a lot of questions to the developers' thresholds, wondering if the new system might conduct as a barrier regarding the impending jailbreak.

Don’t Miss: iOS 7.0.2 Download Links

iOS 7.0.2 Jailbreak tweetHearing these concerns, MuscleNerd of team Evad3rs has claimed that updating the new release will not hinder the chances for a future jailbreak. The system release will not hinder the progress of the jailbreak, considering all the time and effort already put into it. Although we do not seek the jailbreak as a God sent right of ours, but with all the exertion put in by the developers and its vast table of opportunities, it is something to wait for.

MuscleNerd through twitter confirmed that as Apple has not made any moves to stop the implementation of jailbreak, nor does the software suggests so it is perfectly safe to assume that the future jailbreak will work on the systems running iOS 7.0.2.

Over the years Apple has made the process of jailbreak quite long and difficult whereas in the past it was extremely easy to hack into the security systems. Sue to this, before the jailbreak could be made available for the public, its process requires long months of penetrating security holes and after that, a longer period to test its authenticity.

iOS 7.0.2 Jailbreak TweetSo we advise that anyone still on the iOS 6.x and reaping its jailbreak benefits should stay there, as the estimated time for iOS 7.x jailbreak is still not known.
