Developers are More Happy with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean [Complete Features] Posted: 25 Jul 2013 01:50 PM PDT Android 4.3 is released bringing no major shift from the earlier version of OS. However, a number of small improvements and much needed features have made the Android experience perfect, more reliable. Being Google's branded phones, the Nexus tablet and Smartphone family get to welcome the Android 4.3 update before all. Devices including Nexus 4 and Google Nexus Smartphones and Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets will be receiving the update soon. Simultaneously, developers have already been given access to Jelly Bean 4.3 so they prepare their data for newer OS. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Features Most importantly, Android 4.3 has been the fastest Android update so far with improvements in Project Butter tools that were there in Jelly Bean before. The update provides sync timing, multiplied buffering, decreased touch inactivity and a speed up 2D rendering dependent upon the hardware. These features combined with higher efficiency in switching between tasks through multi-core systems have gained more balance in power and processing demands. Bluetooth has been a concern for all developers for a long time now. Finally jelly bean 4.3 presented Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy that has been made part of the Android system core. This way developers can create apps with ease since their apps can will be relying on low-power sensors gathering data for proximity, locations etc. Previously, integrating Bluetooth was up to the handset maker, each put it in his own suitable manner. Addition of OpenGL ES 3.0 in Android Jelly Bean 4.3 is a relief and a boost for game developers to create almost realistic 3D graphics. OpenGL ES 3.0 allows more efficient compression, accelerated visuals and better rendering of textures along a single texture-compression format that will be supported on many other devices. It is undoubtedly the best thing about OpenGL ES 3.0 so far. Restricted profiles option has also been introduced in Android 4.3 that is a further development in the option available in the Android 4.2 to create more than one profile on the same device. Each profile could have its own set of applications and settings. For instance, parents could create their own profiles as well as for their children on the same device. Restricted profiles further allow the parent administrator to select what apps can be accessed by certain profiles and other such settings are included. Much to the relief of third party content companies, Android 4.3 has improved its digital rights management tools leading to the availability of better content over Android platform. Earlier parties like Netflix were at a loss to provide HD content as per the limitations set by DRM tools in Android 4.2 but with Android 4.3 developers can integrate their DRM into the content more smoothly leading to improved video and audio in Android devices. Conclusively, the feature that adds more ease into the whole experience is increased control over notifications. Developers can make the apps communicate with notification bars in Android 4.3 as they please or completely turn the idea off. Apparently, Android 4.3 is more developer friendly rather than attracting the end-user nonetheless, both parties are expected to enjoy Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Canonical Providing Opportunities to Developers with Ubuntu API Posted: 25 Jul 2013 01:17 PM PDT Canonical, the developer responsible for Ubuntu stated last Wednesday were regarding the launch of a series of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Something developers will get a boost from to create multiple apps for Ubuntu. The Canonical has been a result of Mark Shuttleworth, a known billionaire from South Africa. “Today we are announcing the Ubuntu SDK Beta. The SDK provides a set of APIs that includes the UI toolkit, enabling developers to create responsive and interactive applications with a native Ubuntu mobile UI,” said the company. Canonical intends to create an Ubuntu Smartphone with the aid of this program to achieve its goal by the beginning of year 2014. It seems like the company is all geared up to challenge Android and iOS authority in the markets. Beta release is claimed to have features devised to ensure easier development for Ubuntu applications. Canonical claims, “The beauty of developing on Ubuntu is that you have access to the latest release at all times; as a truly open-source OS you don't need to wait for the typical six to eight month release cycles”. Hardware We might witness the new Smartphone sometime in May 2014 as per the company's wishes but the firm's identity responsible for making the hardware is still not revealed. Best bets are on HTC, LG and Asus. HTC is known for welcoming new platforms since it was the foremost to support Android while it is accredited for launching a Windows Phone device. News24 has been told by the manager, TR McCrow, of HTC Sub Saharan Africa business unit, “The DNA of this [Smartphone] is fundamentally different to what we have running parallel with Android”. On the hand, LG has the reputation built upon Google's Nexus 4 and the company is readying itself for higher Smartphones. According to Canonical's bold claim, it is supposedly much smoother to make applications on Ubuntu with the combined support of the API development set and open-source community as compared to other platforms. You may download the Ubuntu SDK for free with complete guidelines. Via: News24 The post Canonical Providing Opportunities to Developers with Ubuntu API appeared first on Techmell.

YouTube Upload: Nokia Releases New App to Upload Videos Posted: 25 Jul 2013 12:58 PM PDT YouTube lovers and users needing constantly to get to YouTube for uploading their videos have good news coming from Nokia, exclusively for Lumia users only. Nokia revealed it has devised a brand new application to aid users for uploading YouTube videos. Though this app, owners of new Lumia 1020 can post videos directly to YouTube from within the app. Where these Lumia users have been made happy, the ones having other Lumia handsets might not be too happy about the limitation. Credit: Cnet This app under the name of 'YouTube Upload' has been made available at Microsoft’s Windows Phone store allowing users to choose the Video and upload it straight away from Photos app. The videos can also be treated to a trim in Nokia Video Trimmer app prior to upload. As far as the supported format of the videos is concerned, the app works for “all videos shot on Nokia Lumia phones with Windows Phone 8.” When app tests were carried out on varying Lumia models at The Verge, it was concluded that the app worked successfully on the latest Lumia 1020 only. All other Lumia Smartphones including Lumia 800, Lumia 900 and others could not run the app. Speculating from the app support for WVGA displays and the description associated with it, Nokia might intend to include all Lumia Smartphones with Windows Phone 8 to run the app. Till then, we can look forward to it.

Only 2 Services Online on Apple’s Website: No Green Signal for iOS 7 Beta 4 Release! Posted: 25 Jul 2013 10:50 AM PDT Apple didn’t see it coming and definitely not on the day when iOS 7 Beta 4 release was scheduled. Nonetheless, the genius of Turkey succeeded in taking Apple's developer site down resulting in the consequent delay in iOS 7 Beta 4 release. Much to the bereavement of iOS 7 beta release followers, the two-week gap tradition between subsequent Beta release from Apple has been broken. Since the hack last Thursday, Apple has been working day in and day out to take measures in order to prevent such happenings from occurring again as they have mentioned in a disclaimer that has taken place on the Apple developer's website page till they can fully recover from the attack. Being developers and Apple users, the concern surely arises in the service area. What became of them? Apple has been conscious enough to bring the service back on track however the process is rather slow and cautious. So far, the System Status on Apple's site shows only two services online: iTunes Connect and Bug Reporting. At least, developers can still distribute their apps over iTunes as well as get the bugs duly catered to. Other services are yet to be turned back on after maximum security is ensured. The iOS, Mac and Safari, all three developer centers are on a hold showing an offline service status. Other services including Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles to manage your team certificates and profiles during program membership time, Xcode offering tools for creating apps for Mac and iOS faster, Member Center that lets Developers enjoy resources from Apple for program development as well as Technical Support, Developer Forums and Program enrollment services are all offline as of now.   With so much going on with Apple's Developer database, it is not surprising to see iOS 7 Beta 4 release being postponed. Depending how the improvements come about, the launch can be further delayed. Let's hope that is not the case.

Samsung Sets Records by Selling over 23m Galaxy S4 in 2nd Quarter Posted: 24 Jul 2013 01:44 PM PDT The Samsung Galaxy S4 has created quite hype in the Smartphone market even though criticism over the new Samsung device has been quite alarming. Reports have confirmed that Samsung has their S4 device being sold hands on with sales reaching up to 23 million Galaxy S4 devices and that too in just the second quarter of current year. The fact that the new Galaxy S4 handset was far from the expected has clearly no degrading effect on the sales. TrendForce, a firm with expertise in research revealed the fact that the Smartphone has been fairly popular ever since it was revealed and raised the sales bars by increasing the shipments to up to 31.4 percent year-on-year in only a matter of three months. According to DigiTimes, the sales reached to a whopping 221 million units for Galaxy S4. The company has further explained the trends in the sales since the release. According to the company reports, there has been a drop in requests for the high-end handsets however, things are not the same for mid-level and entry level parts of the market that are still reveling in the growing demands. Records have been broken when Samsung shipped more than 71 million handsets in the second quarter of the year alone. Definitely, the company didn't see that one coming but met the high demand with ease nonetheless. Smartphone retailers in China also witnessed a rise in demands. Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, and Coolpad have been the hottest selling brands. Source: DigiTimes The post Samsung Sets Records by Selling over 23m Galaxy S4 in 2nd Quarter appeared first on Techmell.

Activate Flip 3D Feature in Windows 8.1 by Using free Switcher Tool Posted: 24 Jul 2013 01:07 PM PDT All of the users of Windows were astonished to see an entirely changed Start Menu in Windows 8 and same is the case with Windows 8.1. There are a number of things missing from Windows 8.1. One of these cool features is Windows Flip 3D that cannot be found in Windows 8.1. It can be found in Windows Vista and Windows 7, but it is absent from the advanced version of Microsoft. Due to its presence in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the users were very comfortable while switching from one app to another one. They did not need to close the application to go to another app. The users used flip by pressing the Windows logo key + Tab simultaneously or alt + Tab. If you want to use the same combination of keys i.e. Alt + Tab in Windows 8.1, you would be able to move among the Metro apps. If you are extremely fond of using Flip 3D and you want to use it in Windows 8.1, you need to get a third party app known as "Switcher" that allows you to use the function of Flip 3D in Windows 8.1. Enable Flip 3D with Switcher Tool in Windows 8.1 Step 1: First you need to download switchers from here. Step 2: Now you need to launch it after installation by going to the location where you had installed it. Step 3: Now you can change its settings as per your requirements. Step 4: You need to open it and in "General" that can be seen on the left side of the window. Select the option "Grid" to change its style. Step 5: Now you need to open its "Appearance" where you will find an option "Enable Window Numbers". You need to uncheck this feature. Step 6: If you click on "Shortcuts", you would be able to set your own shortcut that you want to use flip 3D style. In my case, I use "Windows + S" keys to use this amazing feature in Windows 8.1. Once you have done with the settings, you need to press "Hide" key. Now you can experiment your shortcut you had saved in the shortcuts section to check whether Flip 3D is active in your Window 8.1 or not. You would be able to see all of the opened apps in 3D form by using your “Hotkeys” The post Activate Flip 3D Feature in Windows 8.1 by Using free Switcher Tool appeared first on Techmell.

Nexus 7 Tablet Running Android 4.3 Revealed by Google Posted: 24 Jul 2013 12:47 PM PDT Google is looking forward to a slimmer version of its very own Nexus 7 tablet since the Internet company accelerates its competition with Apple and Amazon.com in the rapidly growing mobile computing market. The glam shine devices that were brought to surface on Wednesday in San Francisco are planning to go on sale in the U.S on Tuesday at Google’s online store and a couple of other retailers that are concerned with the thing. The additional firepower that was intentionally purposely added to the second generation of Nexus 7 tablets is likely to come up with a greater price. A model that has storage of 16 gigabytes is likely to be  sold out for $229, a $30 per increase as compared to the basic price of the original Nexus 7 that was released nearly a year earlier. Still that is around 30 percent below the $329 price that is charged by Apple Inc. For the iPad Mini. A similar Kindle Fire HD tablet from Amazon.com Inc. Is recently doing the sales for just $199. Here let us tell you that a 32-gigabyte version of the Nexus 7 is for $269 with an increase of $20 in price. Google Inc. Claims that the new line of Nexus tablets encourages a better-defined 7-inch display screen and a CPU that ensures to be almost double as faster than the predecessor. Dual stereo speakers have been recently added for better sound quality, and the device’s battery duration has also been improved and provided with an extension of nearly an hour. The Nexus 7 is also going to be the first device that is going to get the 4.3 version of its Android software.

Android 4.3 is Available for Nexus 4, 7, 10 and Galaxy S4 Google Edition Posted: 24 Jul 2013 12:43 PM PDT San Francisco is entertaining Google's press conference today that marked the announcement of Android Jelly Bean 4.3. Instead of the much awaited Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, the company introduced Jelly Bean 4.3 instead as was evident from the reports circulating the past few days. We might witness the Key lime Pie edition sometime in October when Android will celebrate its fifth birthday. Android Jelly Bean 4.3 was highly expected to come out in the I/O event last May but the Mountain View based company intended to keep the focus of this developer conference on a number of new features all of which are offered in Jelly Bean 4.3. Some of the highlights of the event included Google Play Game Services, Play Music streaming service, a new Google Maps, improved Google Plus interface, photo processing and a number of other fascinating features. So which devices are going to welcome the new update? As far as reports informed us, Nexus Smartphones and tablets are going to be the first in the line. HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition are also expected to receive the update. We are still interested to know if HTC One Google Edition is among the listed devices since Google officials gave no word on the smartphones fate. Since Android 4.3 Jelly Bean did not bring any major change it might just have been an excuse to provide the OEMs some time before they can move ahead to Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Google intends to minimize Android fragmentation and Jelly Bean 4.3 is just the right kind of update for the purpose. Since it is not vitally important for devices, tablet and phone producers can jump directly to Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie instead. Though not major but Android Jelly Bean 4.3 does come with newer features and what the leaks as well reports from today's event tell us, this update includes support for Bluetooth Smart, OpenGL ES 3.0 resulting in much better game graphics, DRM APIs, simple  text input and Bluetooth AVRCP. You will also find additions in support languages covering Hindi, Swahili, Zulu, Hebrew, Arabic (RTL), Africans and Amharic as well. End users might not find above mentioned features of much use but they can surely look forward to features such as restricted profile options in tablets, Swiffer user-switching and with Dial pad to aid you in finding contacts without going over the hassle of going through the People app. Also, Android Jelly Bean 4.3 has an enhanced interface for the camera app with Google Keep being part of the system apps now. According to a leaked android 4.3 version of Nexus 4, the update has fixes for WiFi, Mobile Data and Bluetooth. Measures have also been taken like integration of background WiFi to improve battery life of the devices. As per tradition, Android Jelly Bean 4.3 will be made available for Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Samsung Galaxy S4 in stages.

Lumia 625-4G with 4.7-inch MONSTER Flopped out by Nokia Posted: 23 Jul 2013 11:42 AM PDT Nokia recently brought to surface its sixth phone of 2013, that is a light budget 4G phone, the Lumia 625. Nokia said that along with the launch of prepay deals LTE carriers and a couple of most economical tariffs, they’re looking forward to come up with something more affordable. The main targeted aim of 625 is at the sub-£200 upfront prepay market and more additional lower tariffs that come along with. Anyhow, the 625 carries along the largest display Nokia has made up a significant feature on a Lumia, at 4.7 inches diagonally coming with a well worked 2000mAh battery, that can work for almost two days. Nokia officially says that users can enjoy 15.2 hours talk-time on 3G. Giving it a glance, the 625 is deceivingly light, although at 158g of weight makes it one of the most heavy Nokia handsets, that does not add up. The 625 majorly resembles the midrange 4.2-inch Lumia 720 but its display is comparatively larger. Also it was greatly comfortable to get hold of and use it. Nokia has conceded in its continuing tradition of defining its devices in square shapes, sharp end corners and the usual shapes that all the Nokia sets have. The large screen won't be able to make much of space for its density, but that’s absolutely fine, and can be used with gloves – that might matter a lot for a chunk of people. One must not overlook the fact that it is going to be the first Lumia to have a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus processor package (MSM8930, ARMv7 compatibility level), halfway through the 1.5GHz part in the high-end Lumias and the 1Ghz budget chip that is primarily used in the 520, 620 and 720 Lumias. It also contains the 512MB RAM, Windows Phone 8, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, a 5Mp rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing cam, that makes it a device with plenty of the features. Credit: Nokia Nokia’s reduces costs with the help of an 800 x 480 Gorilla Glass 2 IPS LCD display and omitted wireless charging, and not to forget NFC, used for pay-by-wave and such technology. The 8GB memory is a hard platform to be on – it is 5GB in actual once you're using and working on the device – but it has the option to get extended up to 64GB using a MicroSD slot, and Microsoft has tossed in 7GB of SkyDrive cloud storage, free of cost. The Lumia 620 came up with an offer of a funky two-tone color shell – the most amazing design trick that is present here is a semi-transparent effect case that has been made the part of it. Right now It's available in screaming orange, yellow and green, and not to forget white and black. The translucent effect is just visible in the good light. Nokia is looking forward to widespread availability at the start of September, with EE, Vodafone, O2 and Carphone Warehouse carrying the device all across the globe. The people have concerns regarding being too similar to the device 720. 4G in the UK is available now on SIM-only deals and comparative economic cost tariffs, so anyone who is looking forward and willing to have 4G browsing speeds but does not have a premium phone on a £40/month tariff might as well like it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to be Revamped with Snapdragon 600 for China Posted: 23 Jul 2013 10:10 AM PDT It is about time the Korean firm released the next member of Samsung Note series, the Samsung Galaxy Note III. Samsung released Samsung Galaxy Note II last fall with features and specifications that are no longer among the latest features list. The Korea based firm has decided instead to work a bit with the already popular Note II and make it up-to-date by integrating a powerful Snapdragon 600 chipset in place of Exynos 4412 it actually housed. The overhauled Note II makes it clear it is being prepared to be launched in China, good news for Samsung followers who would really like to see S600-based Galaxy Note II. The news has been further confirmed by a listing in the AnTuTu benchmark database straight from China. Also, it is important to note the change in the model number from N7100 to N7108D for the revamped Note II; Chinese identity can be noticed in the last digit in the new model number. The updated list on AnTuTu is an insight into the specifications to the changes made to Galaxy Note II powered by a solid Snapdragon 600 processor which is said to be clocked at 1.9GHz running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean straight from the box. According to the AnTuTu benchmark scorecard, latest Galaxy Note II has managed to score much higher point, 26,901 points, than the previous Galaxy Note II model that just hit 13,562 points which ensures a more stable and powerful version of Note II. Samsung has not yet commented on any such device so far. Since there is no confirmation we can only speculate about the rumors circulating over the web. Samsung might be planning to release the new device at an event in China with not much media presents. Media, although, is looking forward to the upcoming Galaxy Note III.

Ubuntu Edge Campaign: ‘The Future of the Phone’ worth $32 Million Posted: 23 Jul 2013 09:46 AM PDT Canonical, the producers of very well-known OS Ubuntu believe the future lies in the concept of 'Convergence' and hence they are coming forward with their latest product 'Edge', a Smartphone they claim to jump ahead of all other Smartphones as it will work as a desktop PC as well. Europe and U.S. Will be entertaining this new Smartphone housing a dual-chip LTE for high-speed 4G internet and is expected to have a minimum of 128GB internal storage all in all backed by a 4GB RAM. Though there has been no official announcement on the details of the processor but Ubuntu has ensured users it is going to integrate the fastest one claiming the phone to be "a potent little PC when docked.” Mark Shuttleworth, known for founding Canonical, explained this Smartphone project while releasing the project via a YouTube video that this is a platform for newer types of phone hardware as well as being an exemplary opportunity for financing phone industry which has been claimed far better in comparison with the car industry:  "With the car industry we have the Formula One to test new technology. But the mobile industry has nothing like that – there's no premium segment for expert drivers. It's like everyone is driving mass-produced sedans.” It is a one shot project with a fixed-funding status that might not succeed lest $32million is collected by 21St Of August. Presently Edge has managed a funding worth $3 million however concerns have been shown regarding Edge's inconsistent price tags: you can earn a ‘founder’ position by giving away $20 that reaches an unexpected $600 as a limited time offer and $830 to get the Smartphone in your possession. Feature-wise Edge will come with a 4.5 inch display where the focus has been kept on “color accuracy and brightness” instead of resolution like other companies. Also, the screen is somewhat peculiar since the glass has been substituted by a sapphire crystal, “a material so hard you’ll need diamonds in your pockets to scratch it.” It has a rear camera of 8 megapixels and a front facing one of 2 megapixels. The Edge is going to dual boot both Ubuntu and Android, as promised, that means all apps you bought from Google are safe. Specifications combined with the appearance as revealed by teaser images are going to attract attention but the major appeal stays with Ubuntu's idea of 'Convergence'. The idea of a dual boot PC Smartphone is not new as many of us recall the Motorola Atrix from the year 2011 when we hear of it. However, the company claims Edge has better specs and Ubuntu OS is available both for mobile and desktop will push it towards a better response from users. Shuttleworth's "a crazy, beautiful idea” is further explained: “But if there are enough of us out there – enough enthusiasts who want the ultimate in performance, storage, screen, battery and bandwidth, then the Ubuntu Edge will be the catalyst for awesome innovation and a taste of the future of the phone.” Come August, we will find out if the project made it to the shore or got drowned somewhere in the sea of new yet unattractive releases.

Epic Mickey 2: Return of the Hero - Review Vita

After a pretty good first episode, under the auspices of Warren Spector, Epic Mickey came back last year with a second album, and multiplatform this time. A Wii U version is available recently, and it is now the turn of the PS Vita to get its version of Epic Mickey 2.

Mickey mobile

We will not go back over the entire test track that has already been done by Riggs late last year. Be aware though that the title puts you in the shoes of Mickey, who has to go help his friends toons in turmoil. It has a magic brush that allows you to either make the color to objects or make them invisible. This is the core gameplay that allow you to solve small puzzles, find secret passages, but also to face your enemies. The real novelty of the title consists of the arrival of Oswald the Rabbit, which brings new moves and new opportunities. A little more fun, which will take its full extent in multi parties had-oc, since solo character will be managed by AI.

Apart from that, the qualities are known. They primarily reside in the proper use of the Disney universe that is fun to explore, and a soundtrack very well made. Unfortunately, many shadow points tarnish the table as a reluctant camera (too bad for a platform game), or shares a bit confused where you can not easily understand what is required of us. The story does not offer much either, I'm personally lost me very quickly, and it follows the course of the scenario without really understanding the ins and outs.

Graphically the title like the road, especially on the screen of the PS Vita, but it still does not reach the very best in the genre. Moreover, there are some defects in collision, and small bugs when sending Mickey on areas that are not supposed to reach. As for the Wii U, has obviously been used touch screen of the Vita but we can pretty much play joysticks if desired.

Conclusion:

In the end, this Epic Mickey 2 version has nothing special, and the title remains average, with strengths and weaknesses. The price is around € 30 should still convince some to try this adventure.
