ARE YOU CONFUSED WHILE BUYING A MOBILE PHONE ?

Of course, there will be a lot of people like me who are confused while buying a mobile. Since there are an ample amount of mobile in our electronic market it is obvious that it may confuse us. So some  common question arise in our mind regarding the performance and quality of the device. So how would you distinctly find a best performer without having a hands on experience on these devices. A simple solution for this would be going through the specifications and comparing between them. You can also assess, Is it worth buying this device for this amount.

Lets see some of the major features of such  devices that would determine the cost and performance 

Network:

               The latest introduction is the 4G enabled devices. 4G would be 10 times  better than the speed of a 3G Network. And it is good to see a mobile which is enables with LTE technology. Airtel is one of the mobile operator who has intoduced 4G network all over India and Reliance is fastly building up this network throughout India. So we can soon expect a high speed Internet throughout India. Under such a scenario   it is better to see a mobile which is 4G enabled. 

Resolution: 

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images displayed on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They also appear smaller so more items can fit on the screen. Today the phones are coming with a resolution which would be a competent for desktop. Thus higher resolution videos can be enjoyed in such screens comfortably.

               

Chipset:

A chipset is a set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found on the motherboard. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance. This is one of the important comparison that we skip to see whenever we compare between the devices. Snapdragon is one of the best perfomer in Industry today. Most of the nokia smart phones will be having snapdragon 400 (for a economic devices) and above (for high end devices) which is the main reason for the smooth and solid performance of Nokia  devices. Today many smart phone manufacturers are preferring such a chipsets for smooth performance in their devices.

              

ClockCycle:

ClockCycle is one aspect of a processor's that determines its performance. Generally we will be notified in GHZ or MHZ higher the number of ClockCycles higer is the instruction processed per second. Thus higher the ClockCycle higher is the speed of the device. However higher clockcyle more charge will be sucked from the battery. 

RAM:

Ram is used for storing the temporary data of the applications that is running.So looking for a device with more RAM will help while the application are running on the device and it gives a better performance. 

Platform:

The major racing horses of today's market is IOS, Android and Windows. No one can say which is the best among these three. It purely depends on the users desire, however Android is an open source OS hence most of the manufacturers are interested in this platform.Now  windows is making a good strategy to attract manufacturers and the windows 10 has attractive features. Apart from that now windows is concentration on the development of UWP(universal windows platform). IOS is most reliable phone among the users because of its performance, the the OS is tightly bound to its hardware and ios can run only on apple device they reserve the sole right for this platform, there even wont be security issues with IOS. 

Memory:
Internal Memory is another factor that determines the cost of the devices. However today most of the devices comes with external storage space, even upto 200Gb, except few devices like Nokia C1 which have only fixed internal memory and no external sdcards allowed.

Battery:

Coming to batteries when you go for a Android device you should look for comparatively higher mAh battery, where as windows and IOS dont suck that much. Today li-po batteries are mostly preferred over the conventional batteries. Even batteries play a mojor role in cost determination of the devices. I would recommend at least 2000mAh batteries for better power management.   

Camera:

Camera is one the important factor which most of the users are fascinated about. With the selfy culture all around us you have to look at the front facing camera too. you need to decide and check out many mobiles before you prefer for the camera. If you want a economic mobile with best camera lumia series are best among that.

USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA DURING FLOOD EVENTS

Social media is beginning to play an integral role in the way that people both gather and communicate information during emergency situations.As with all methods of communication during emergency events, social media is just one channel that should be used as part of an overall communications platform encompassing multiple tools

Principles for Effectively Using Social Media for Flood Events 

1. Don’t wait for an emergency to get involved in social media:

One of the key principles of effective social media use in emergency situations is recognition that social media communication is founded on relationships, and these are best developed prior to the incident occurring.The strong message-spreading activity evidenced in social media during emergencies can also be

drawn on for preparedness and planning initiatives. Ensuring all preparedness materials are available digitally to enable distribution and sharing through social media channels is a simple but highly effective engagement strategy

2.Use social media as an intelligence tool

One of the most significant potential benefits of using social media for emergency events is that it increases considerably the amount of situational information that is available to emergency management and response agencies. social media communication often  produces accurate situational information, in

advance of official communications.Commentary through social media channels moves rapidly, and often contains information that is ahead of both official agency intelligence channels and traditional news media. 

3. Develop Structured Social Media Monitoring 

A number of well build application should be made in order to tackle the situation.This applications should involve monitoring  statistically damage caused due to disaster and providing immediate relief to the people.

There are two key aspects to the monitoring of social media communication during emergencies- the immediate monitoring that occurs in real time, and the data collection that should occur for detailed review. These two activities have different purposes, but both are equally important in increasing ongoing understanding of the role of social media in emergency management.  

4. Avoid Spreading Rumors

Since social media is easy access to everyone don't use it to spread false messages because it may increase the pressure in the minds of people who are already undergoing mental agony due to the present disaster which may even cause official agencies under pressure. Use the tools to help people as far you can.

NOTIFY

Facebook is one of the social media biggies which is often introducing new mobile apps then and there one in those list is the newly introduced application NOTIFY. The main aim of this application is to deliver notification about the things that matter to you.Sinse everyone has different interest like sports, films, music, shopping, technology etc... you can choose according to your own interest and get notifications pertaining to it

HOW TO USE GOOGLE PASSWORD MANAGER TO SYNC YOUR PASSWORD EVERYWHERE

Do u know google has dedicated password manager to manage your password,  Google’s solution offers a web app, mobile apps, deep integration with Android, and automatic generation of strong passwords.

All the Ways You Can Access Your Passwords

Your saved passwords can be accessed in a variety of ways:

• Chrome on Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, and Linux: The password manager syncs with the Chrome browser, so it can be used in Google Chrome on any desktop or laptop platform

• Chrome for Android, iPhone, and iPad: Google Chrome’s mobile apps can also sync your passwords, so you can access them in the Chrome apps on Android, iPhone, and iPad. There’s no Safari integration on iOS — you’ll have to use the Chrome browser app.

• On the Web: Google offers a web-based interface to your passwords at https://passwords.google.com. You can sign in from anywhere with your Google account to access it.

• On the Mobile Web: This is also a responsive web page, which means you could access it from a smartphone. You could even add the website to your smartphone’s homescreen, copy-pasting passwords from https://passwords.google.com whenever you need to log into an app.

• In Android Apps: Google recently added a feature named “Smart Lock for Passwords” to nearly all Android devices as part of a Google Play Services update. This feature integrates with Google’s password manager to automatically log you into apps that support it. For example, let’s say you log into Netflix in Chrome on the desktop, and you save that Netflix password in Chrome’s password manager. You can later open Netflix on your Android smartphone or tablet and Android will provide your Netflix credentials to the app, automatically logging you in. This behavior can be disabled or tweaked if you don’t like it.

How to Start Using Google’s Password Manager

To start using Google’s password manager, just use Google Chrome on your desktop, smartphone, or tablet. SIgn into Chrome with your Google account. From Chrome’s Settings, click the “Advanced sync settings” button and ensure Chrome is set to sync passwords.

(Note that, if you choose to encrypt your passwords with “your own sync passphrase”, you won’t be able to access your passwords on the web. Smart Lock for Passwords on Android won’t function, either.)

You should also ensure Chrome is set to offer to save your passwords. From Chrome’s Settings screen, search for “passwords” and ensure “Offer to save your web passwords” is enabled under “Autofill and forms.”

You can also “Enable autofill to fill out web forms in a single click.” This gives you an autofill feature like the one found in popular password managers — it can even automatically fill credit card payment details and your address from information stored in Google Wallet, if you like.

You can later click the “Manage passwords” link here or head to chrome://settings/passwords in Chrome, to access, manage, and view a list of your saved passwords.

To actually save a password, just head to a website and sign in normally. Chrome will ask if you want to save the username and password you used on that website, and you can agree.

The next time you visit the website’s login page, Chrome will automatically fill in your username and password.

Automatically Generate Strong Passwords

Google Chrome also contains a feature that will helpfully generate new, random passwords for you and save them to your vault. Many dedicated password managers — including LastPass, 1Password, and Dashlane — offer this feature.

However, this feature isn’t enabled by default — it’s a hidden flag. Plug chrome://flags into Chrome’s address bar and press Enter to access the list of flags. Locate the “Enable password generation” flag and set it to “Enabled.”

The next time you create a password, Chrome will detect that you’re using an account-creation page and offer to automatically fill and and save a random password for you.

You can also modify other flags that can make the password manager more useful — for example, website developers have the ability to mark certain password fields with a “do not remember” option, which would make Chrome not offer to remember the password. There’s a “Enable force-saving of passwords” flag that will make Chrome ignore this, allowing it to remember any password.

Touch Screen stopped working after Firmware update

Recently i updated my Android device, from KIT KAT (4.4) to LOLLIPOP(5.0). All features where really good  i liked it, but the irony is that, the new firmware totally betrayed me from  using touch wizard. The touch screen totaly stopped working, I tried all the options and solutions given in various discussion forums like 

1. Restart as many times as possible
2. Reboot your system  three times 
3. Hard Factory Reset
4. Remove the battery and replace it after some time
5. Due to dust accumulation it may not work so remove the scratch card
6. The connection of the touch screen with the motherboard may be  loose so tap the screen at the corners 

I tried all these things but nothing happened, it was still in same condition. But the fortunately  except touch screen everything else worked fine, so i connected mouse or keyboard to the device to perform all tasks

Then i started thinking how the problem might have occurred, when i  bought it as a new device it had jelly bean in it, then i updated with the new versions when ever firmware is available for  my device. But this problem never occurred, only lollipop had made this problem, so i thought there should be some problem in software side that is firmware, so for this only two options either i have to DOWNGRADE the system firmware or UPGRADE it, so that there could be bug free version in either of these

I choose to upgrade it further, i checked for any updates fortunately there was an update for the firmware, i went on with my decision. I was right this time, with the new upgrade the problem is fixed. 

The touch screen wizard started working successfully. 

Thus, the chances of bugs in firmware could be common issue, so do not panic go ahead with the best bug-free updates.

If you have any suggestion or comments regarding this blog you are welcome to say that in the comments . Thank you have a nice day 

can you say whats the gender of your computer

ya this is a going to be  funny. Have you ever though your laptop or a pc is a girl or a boy. Ha ha ha....please hold on before saying to anyone "i love my laptop" very much because you need to make sure whether it is HE or She.

Don't think i am talking something crazy, OK why dont you ask your computer itself to reveal its gender

Do the following steps

1. open the notepad

2.   copy the following the code
      CreateObject("sapi.SpVoice").Speak"i love you"

3.  save it in the filename gender.vbs

4.  Now run the file from the saved location

the voice will reveal whether it is boy or girl

but unfortunately i have a male with me.....

ha ha ha... i hope you will like this post. ok guys, do comment honestly to  me what is your device gender. hope you enjoy this post see you all in the next one.

TOUCH SCREEN TECHNOLOGY

Hey guys happy to see you all with this new post.

Actually i was bit  sad a couple of days back. Why you know i just dropped my expensive smart phone on the floor and it developed crack at the bottom right corner and the portion below the crack stopped sensing my touches. Yes i need to replace the screen now. So thinking about this i just got a quest on how these touch screen works. So i started to make a small quick research over the internet on how these gadgets work so that i could get a glimpse of what these technologies are all about, And Actually i got some interesting stuffs which i thought of sharing with you all.

I found that there are two types of touch screen that is been used widely they are

• Resistive  touch 
• Capacitive touch

RESISTIVE TOUCH SCREEN 

You would have seen these type of screen in railway station, theaters while taking tickets. For basic understanding  let us first separate the layers of the screen which gives a top layer and a bottom layer.

      

the top layer is the Resistive layer which consist of its own circuits and the bottom layer is known as the conductive layer which has its own circuits. You may have even noticed that while you use these screens, when you touch these screens it may  move inwards. It is because there always exist a gap between the upper layer and the bottom layer and when you touch the screen the top layer may come in contact with the bottom conducting layer so the electricity now got a path way to move and complete its path thus the current completes its path. These signals are sensed by the processor and the corresponding function occurs. One of the disadvantages of these screen is that only one  touch is supported by this technology  in contrast today's devices support multi-touch for which the capacitive touch technology is being is used.

CAPACITIVE  TOUCH SCREEN

So today all our latest smart phones are not using the former technology, where as it uses another approach of known as capacitive touch technology. Even in this case in order to understand , let us peel of the screen of the smart phones into different layers

So when we separate it, we will able to see 4 different basic layers, the top most one is a protective cover which is made special glass (sand heated to form  aluminosilicate which is  dipped in potassium bath  this rips of the sodium ions from the glass and replaces with the potassium ion). The next  two layers consist of vertically and horizontally lines of  electrodes thinner than human hair  is embedded on the glass material, the top one contains the driving lines and the bottom one contains the sensing lines which senses the electrical signal of the driving lines  both these lines are perpendicular to each other forming a grid like structure. The last layer here is the LCD layer. 

So how does this technology works. You know our human skin contains electrostatically charged particles, so when we touch the screen the charge on our finger is transferred to the screen and tends to make changes to the charge in the grid structure, actually the sensing lines which is said above is connected to the processor of the smart phone these processors can sense the change in the charge at the particular spot where the finger touches and functions accordingly. Finally all over outputs are in our LCD screen which we look and enjoy.

. 

I think you can see the grid lines clearly which appears on the screen when we touch the particular spot, the horizontal and vertical lines are clearly seen, this is a multi-touch experience in a kit kat enables android device .

LATEST TECHNOLOGY

There are two different new technologies which is used today they are ON SCREEN ans IN SCREEN touch screen. The ON SCREEN technologies is bringing the touch screen technology up to the top layer of the screen. The IN SCREEN technologies is bringing the touch to bottom of the screen. The main advantage of this technology is that you can get a smaller thinner phone and get a colour saturation as the light doesn't need to pass through many layers.

INTERESTING FACT!!!

The first touch screen was first introduced in the year 1976

I  think you got a good piece of information regarding our day today handy devices and how it works. hope you enjoyed reading this information.Thank you guys see you in the next post with another interesting information and  Don't forget to comment about this post....
