Samsung Galaxy S3 and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Offensive

Users of the Samsung Galaxy S3 can rejoice: Android 4.1 ("Jelly Bean") is rolled out shortly. Developers also shine: The Android source code was revealed.

Google's operating system to its name once again lives up - and felt the barriers go up further: yet this month to Android 4.1 ("Jelly Bean") to be rolled out on the Samsung Galaxy S3.

So that developers continue to have even more fun on Android, now the source code for the Jelly Bean firmware was published on the web: Open Source as it is in the book.
Members will be allowed - and that is certainly improved good news-the Android software and the functionality can be extended further. Shortly before the launch of Android 4.1 on the Samsung's flagship, this is certainly a message that makes it heard. And the Apple iOS-bearing form perhaps a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

New custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S3, including Jelly Bean Nothing stands in the way. For all nerds and IT Samsung has the source code by the way actually made completely public: Anyone can stop by the official site and download the source code as you wish, with the non-computer meanwhile, can certainly start not much.

But transparency is logical - since Samsung and Google will certainly benefit from this move: The operating system is more sophisticated piece by piece. Even now, many experts see Android on par with iOS. Who, however, Android still "complicated" as described, which is at least in the eyes of editors the little green robot not just males. iOS, especially in the new version 6, is a very mature operating system. But the Android "freedoms" are available now for many users, the real pleasure when it comes about the implying of widgets. When grouping software not on the fun stops.

✎ iPhone 5 with new Samsung Galaxy S3 commercials "scolded"?
Android has certainly in the development of so few in iOS "copied". But it will be exciting to watch when Apple made the rather rigid iOS icon principle "breaks" and also breaks new ground. In any event, - various tests to confirm this - even iOS harmonize very well with the current hardware of the iPhone 5. Here you can keep up with perhaps only the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which does not require additional user interface of the mobile phone manufacturer: Android "pure".

Many users of the Samsung Galaxy S3 pleased meanwhile to the release of Android 4.1 - we are talking about days, not of weeks ...

Samsung Galaxy S3 and the wait for Android 4.1
Users of the Samsung Galaxy S2 remember with "terror" by how long it "once" took to the latest Android version was rolled out to their device.

But in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S3 now everything seems to be better - and the "team" have learned from the mistakes of the past: Apparently, Samsung has begun to Android 4.1.1 with the pretty name of "Jelly Bean" on the S3's flagship roll out.

One limitation users should probably leave this country look a little impatient from the laundry: Android 4.1.1 to now, not been delivered in Germany - but what is not is, in all probability soon be. Germany that is pending in the back seems if the smartphone boom is very unlikely.
Samsung Galaxy S3 models that are connected directly to a network operator may have to take some time with Android 4.0 ("Ice Cream Sandwich").

Slight delay
the delay in the delivery time was really limited to: First Samsung had announced to deliver the latest version of Google's mobile operating system in September.

iPhone 5 Production: The fists fly
recently underwent Android 4.1 on the Nexus one test and was completely convinced by the new functionality of the operating system. Soon can therefore users of the Samsung Galaxy S3 forward to the latest version of the little green robot dude.

The Android update is certainly good news, the iPhone 5 but currently dominates the headlines. But initial tests have already shown that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is certainly not in front of the new device from --. Android 4.1.1 also may well be another selling point for the device of the IT giant from South Korea. Recently there were rumors already, after the Samsung Galaxy S 4 could be on the market in the spring: The battle of the two "brawlers" preserved us so.

Motorola HMC3260: New PC With Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread

It is not new that manufacturers try to extend the territory of Android devices with innovative, well this is the case with Motorola who has introduced a new "computer" with Android as the primary platform.

Lapdock is the popular name that has been assigned to this terminal, a cross between tablet and laptop that includes Android operating system. While at first glance we may be somewhat familiar to Apple computers, and more for their classic shades of colors, it is a terminal (and apparently last) that offers the functionality of an economic computer.

Codenamed Motorola HMC3260, the new Motorola Lapdock has an LED screen 18.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels. As for internals, we must be provided with a ARM Cortex A8 processor dual core 1 GHz and only 1GB of RAM, compared to the new terminal could say it falls short.

Regarding internal storage we have only has 4 GB of memory, of course expandable via microSD cards. Regarding the version of Android built also leaves much to be desired as it incorporates a platform Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (Ice Cream Sandwich many expected at least).

The truth is that if a terminal is attractive but that leaves many gaps unfilled, specifically because their goal is to meet the needs of a laptop as their specs are not even comparable to those of the most powerful tablets Android market: Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD.

Still, it is certainly a good choice as it certainly presents his design approach "all-in-one" and we can expect that at least independent developers (we quote CyanogenMod, for example) can lead even to complement a Jelly Bean little details of this device.

As final details, we have no price or release date for the new Motorola Lapdock so we will look at what's coming around this attractive terminal.

Top 5: Energy Saving Tips for Android

Is the battery of your Android device often exhausted quickly? Check our tips to help your battery life.

The biggest advantage of Android - the openness of the mobile platform - is also its biggest drawback. Because Android is so open and real multi-tasking support, it is possible that your battery power hungry apps or incorrect settings quickly empty. With a few simple steps you extend the battery life of your Android smartphone enormous.

1. Remove the Facebook app
it will be for many a difficult decision, but removing the Facebook app, you will at least ten percent of battery care. The Android app runs constantly in the background with four different services and takes about 30 megabytes in. These four services keep your phones often wake up because they constantly check if you have a new notifi. On Facebook the task of a good Android app development that are not continuously running in the background. A good alternative is the mobile web version of Facebook, which often even faster and works better than the Android app.

2. Set synchronization limits
most apps sync every fifteen minutes or hours for new data to retrieve. This can reduce and sometimes completely off by the institutions of apps to dig. The official Twitter app for example, a handful of new tweets every ten minutes to pick up. This synchronization interval is up to 4 hours to reduce. Check each app here or you can set a synchronization limit. This does not mean that you no longer receive notifications, because apps like Gmail, Twitter and Facebook support just push messages. The corresponding energy inefficient synchronization does not retrieve new content is designed specifically for you.

3. Turn off GPS, WiFi and decrease the brightness of your screen
you can save a lot of energy by GPS and wifi on. Turning off the GPS ensures that app like Facebook, Google Maps, Twitter, Foursquare, and many others not your location in the background retrieval. Enabling wifi saves, because it consumes less energy than your mobile 3G or HSDPA connection. This only applies if you actually are connected to a wireless network, because else your Android device continuously for available WiFi networks. Reducing the brightness of the screen is also a good way to save energy. The option "Auto Brightness" is the right balance between energy efficiency and screen brightness, but setting low screen brightness, the battery is more beneficial. This is because the light sensor of your Android device does not constantly have to check whether the brightness up or down.

4. Avoid automatic task killers
Task Killers had in Android 2.2 (Froyo) perhaps a useful function in the later versions of Google's Android mobile operating system adjusts the limit of background processes from scratch. This kind of task killers running, like those annoying apps that you want to disable, even in the background and thus consumes as much energy. Since Gingerbread is really no need for such a taskkiler use. With Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean have even the possibility of running apps swipe away and allows them to close. If you want to know what is running in the background, you can use the settings to apps go there and see all current running apps and optionally stop.

5. Root your smartphone and install a custom ROM and kernel
One of the finest aspects of Android is the ability to unlock your phone and rooted. By unlocking and rooting, what a Nexus device is very easy, you can get a custom ROM (software) and kernel (core operating system) installed. This gives you more setting, you're not stuck to the slow process of updating some manufacturers and you are the master of your own Android device. For example, the voltage of your device and processor speed to reduce or governor (how fast a device processor speeds activates) to adjust. If you take the step of unlocking and rooted dare to take, there is a whole new world opens Android.

Reasons for choosing a 7-inch tablet

In 2010, the U.S. Apple launches its first tablet. The first tablet, in fact: the iPad. The screen size is 9.7 inches, a standard that arrives today. However, the measure that normalizes the Californian has not been adopted by other manufacturers, something other than what happened when South Korea's Samsung opted for its own proposal, that first Samsung Galaxy Tab that was seen in September of the same year.

Since then, and despite various formats have known-that pass through the screens of 7.7 to 11.6-inches, the 7-inch has been the strongest alternative to the iPad. So much so that even Apple might retaliate with a small form factor tablet, proposing a new standard 7.85 inch native and perhaps the rumored iPad Mini imminent. However, before this, one wonders, what is special measure seven inches to Amazon, Samsung and Google have adopted as their battle standard?

For starters, it is a format that defines a substantially more portable device. We still remember the punch that gave Samsung when during the presentation of its Galaxy Tab in 2010 surprised the show, in the first public appearance of the terminal, the device removing it from the inside pocket of a jacket. Not that the tablets with 7-inch screen are specially designed to carry in your pocket, but of course, extend the range of comfort as far as mobility is concerned.

It is the perfect size for reading and viewing videos. Such screens boast resolutions between 1024 x 600 pixels and 1,280 x 800 pixels, which focused on seven-inch panels show excellent results as far as definition is concerned. True, the new iPad boasts a spectacular resolution that far exceeds the standard in high-definition 9.7-inch, but the proposal of these devices is quite another, much more connected to other aspects of the terminal, such as that mobility or price, as discussed below. Thus, in these panels is contemplated that the option can enjoy videos or ebooks with much comfort, but we miss an area much larger vision.

Terminals are much cheaper than those in higher formats. In this sense, the Kindle Fire became the first blow on the table for the tablet market. The strategy has had the Nexus 7 to the wake, and other manufacturers such as Samsung, also support the idea of identifying the standard seven-inch with an affordable price. The idea is that the user can take home a well-rounded tablet by an average of 200 euros, the price thicken somewhat depending on features like memory or connectivity.

A tablet with a 7-inch screen is far more comfortable than a larger one. It is true that these types of equipment are designed to move from one place to another, and in some cases, may even consider laptop as substitutes. But make no mistake: the couch, the bed and perhaps other more private sites will house natural environments where recourse to the tablet more often. Thus, the idea of holding a lightweight and manageable while lying on your back are either reading, watching videos, surfing the web or checking emails or social networks, it seems much more attractive if it is a terminal hold bulkier and heavy.

It gives a very curious circumstance terminal with 7-inch screens. Since Android is the only really defined before the iPad, arguably the only environment that offers an interesting option for tablets outside the iOS environment. And is that with Android 4.0, since applications can be shared between devices-whether smartphones or tablets, we could take advantage of the games and utilities designed for phones without a noticeable loss of quality, despite differences in the size of the panel between phones and tablets. For devices with larger screen sizes that besets Loss Pack is much more.

Samsung Galaxy Note‎ VS Galaxy Note 2

Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Note 2. The new generation of smartphone and tablet hybrid made his magical appearance amid great expectations and the result did not disappoint. The new model is a worthy successor to the first edition, released about a year ago

Samsung has put all eggs in one basket and has endowed the new beast of the most advanced of the moment. The Galaxy Note 2 has improved in areas such as display, processor, battery, connectivity options and design. But besides the new features highlighted by unique software that are dedicated mostly to take advantage of the stylus, which has also been redesigned. The Samsung Galaxy Note original and was a very complete terminal but with this Samsung model has led to a new level. We analyzed all the differences between the Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note in a comparative.

Design and Display
At first glance and noticed major differences in design. The Samsung Galaxy Note was the line of Samsung Galaxy S2 design-then-flagship-brand, with elegant and sober slightly rounded corners. Now that Samsung has launched the Galaxy S3, the new design Note shares present in this model. The Galaxy Note 2 has a smoother appearance and stylized because it has managed to reduce the thickness of 9.65 to 9.4 millimeters. What has not reduced the size, quite the contrary. The Note 2 is five millimeters longer than its predecessor, although it has reduced its width slightly due to changing your screen resolution to be discussed later.

As you know, the Samsung Galaxy Note has a small stylus integrated in one corner, with this small accessory is easier to use the terminal as well as allowing full squeeze all the capabilities of your display (draw, take notes hand ...). How could it be otherwise, the Galaxy Note 2 also equipped with this accessory and is also completely renovated. His appearance has changed and is now a little thicker to improve grip. It also has a small button that enables you to activate some features, very similar to what we find in the pencil drawing tablets. To make matters worse accuracy has also increased and now detects the pressure we do to create strokes variables, something that fans appreciate drawing.

Galaxy Note 2 S-Pen, first impressions video

Galaxy Note 2 is the new device catalog reference of the South Korean firm, Samsung Galaxy S3 complementing through a particular good proposal, which is structured around a large touch screen, the presence of a dedicated stylus pointer - the S-Pen, and a catalog of unique features. When even one week ago that the manufacturer made it official, we know the first video in which the company makes a very detailed overview of all the features and characteristics of the terminal.

To begin, we review some of the notes required the technical profile of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, namely: 5.5 inches with a 16:9 ratio and resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and the presence of a powerful quad-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz, complemented by a two GB RAM.

Do not spend too much time left until it says is the first phone that will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean series, besides being the only one, for now, work on this platform outside the Nexus series, although it is rumored that the Galaxy S3 will start to upgrade to the newest of Google in the near future to launch the Galaxy Note 2, something will happen early next October.

Galaxy Note 2

This model will also have some cool gadgets. For example, we see how in the Gallery section, where you concentrate all videos and photos stored on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, provides new previews, showing different perspectives nice animations and effects. However, things will be much better when it comes into action the S-Pen. With the new version of Galaxy Note 2 pointer  not only can write, draw, or select items. Also, now is equipped with a number of additional skills. Air System View is one of them.

With Air View previews can access information contained in specific applications. Simply place the pointer over specific areas, photo albums, calendar appointments, emails, documents, and click the button labeled with the S-Pen. No need to touch the screen, it will be loaded instantly in a small floating window that will expose a sheet with the data inside the space we want to see.

Quick Command would be one of the new tools available pointer with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. This function is neither more nor less than an extension of the touch experience that can be used with this phone. This time, the idea is that the pen is capable of performing some commands only ones to give specific orders to the phone.

For example, if we pressed the button on the S-Pen and describe a vertical line from the bottom up, the 'Galaxy Note 2' start the settings window Quick Command, which would be enough to write freehand, the information we refer to the phone's handwriting recognizer launch the dedicated application that would show us the information we require.

Galaxy Note 2 also provides some functions of the Samsung Galaxy S3, and Pop Up Play, and an adaptation of this dedicated true multitasking feature, dubbed Pop Up Note, that allows us to have a document in the foreground while running on customizable background, though in sight, other process.

It is also interesting screen recorder, or Screen Recorder, which is neither more nor less than a utility that records all it shows the screen for a period of time you can tell the phone since double click on the button Starting center until we consider appropriate. The resulting video is saved in our gallery presenting all that has been showing in the panel during that time.

These, and many other features, Easy Clip, custom writing method, the choice of greeting or Best Faces-are some of those that make up the catalog of new Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
