SanDisk lunched 200 GB microSD card

2015-03-05T01:03:00.000-08:00

SanDisk has announced the world's first 200 GB microSD card, which will be available to buy from Q2 2015. Storage capacity has long been a problem for smartphone and tablet owners - particularly as these devices have come to replace PCs for many people. A 200 GB microSD would solve many such problems, although the announced price tag of 399.99 USD could prove too woeful on the wallet for many potential customers.

Currently, you can buy microSD cards offering up to 128 GB storage, with most mid- to high-end phones letting you take advantage of this capacity. Lower-end devices tend to go up to 32 GB, because they don't support the SDXC microSD format. However, if you have a phone that supports the SDXC microSD card standard, then you should be able to use SanDisk's 200 GB beast without any problem.

Major smartphone manufacturers can't seem to make up their minds on the merits of microSD storage in smartphones and tablets. Samsung, for example, revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S6 doesn't have a microSD slot, instead offering variants with up to 128 GB of internal capacity. You could wonder if Samsung is ruing its decision in light of SanDisk's announcement.

Are you willing to spend as much on a 200 GB microSD card as you would on a solid mid- to high-end smartphone, or a games console, or any number of things that are probably more exciting than extra storage space on your phone? Let us know in the comments.

Nokia introduced Nokia N1 Android iPad - Review

2015-03-05T00:58:00.003-08:00

Nokia has just introduced the Nokia N1 - an impressive new Android tablet with a neat design, high-end features and a reasonable price.

Release date and price
The price of the Nokia N1 tablet will be 249 € when it arrives in Europe sometime during 2015, according to a Nokia spokesman I spoke with during my test.

Design & Build Quality
The design of the Nokia N1 is based on a unibody aluminum shell, which clearly emulates the iPad Mini.
Nokia is totally open about this point. The fact is that the construction of the N1 is impeccable. The device's edges encase the screen, with which it is level. The N1 is simple yet very elegant.

On the bottom, there are stereo speakers and USB 3.0 port, type C. This is a standard which allows users to plug a USB connector in both directions.

The top has the 3.5mm headphone jack and power button. The back of the tablet is completely devoid of sharp edges or corners. The camera's sensor does not protrude and only a discreet Nokia logo is visible.

From the beginning of my test of the Nokia N1, I found the design attractive. The Nokia tablet is ergonomic and comes in two finishes; gray aluminum and graphite.

Display
The Nokia spokesman told me that, on paper, the Nokia N1 screen is identical to that of the iPad Mini 3. Its

The first test of the Nokia N1 shows that it has a quality screen. The display is good, with natural color rendering, plus nice saturation and contrast. The brightness is not the highest I've seen, but it seems sufficient for everyday use.
7.9-inch IPS panel has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, giving it a pixel density of about 324 ppi.

The viewing angles looked good to me, though this is probably related to the fact that the slab is rolled and uses zero-gap technology (zero space).

Software
The Nokia N1 tablet runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Nokia launcher, Z Launcher, is pre-installed on the N1, but you can replace it with any other.

Z Launcher is a free download from the Google Play Store on all Android smartphones, but is compatible with N1. Beyond the specific features of Lollipop, Z Launcher is transforming the way we use and search for applications on Android. From the main screen, you can draw a letter, all applications that begin with that letter, or include it in their name are displayed.

In practise, it is surprisingly effective and I found myself using it instinctively in this first test of the Nokia N1. The application drawer is displayed as a list and icons are categorized.

Performance
During this short test of the Nokia N1, the tablet was very fluid and showed no signs of lag or bugginess. Of

The version presented at MWC 2015 uses an Intel Atom 64-bit Z3580 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz. The version that will arrive in Europe will be equipped with a more powerful processor. A Nokia manager told me that Qualcomm was interested in a partnership, but this did not progress because the Finns do not want to damage their excellent relations with Intel. We'll have to wait and see, then. The N1 also packs 2GB of DDR3 RAM.

A quick AnTuTu benchmark confirmed our inklings. It achieved a score of 47,050, just below the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

course, I'll wait for a full review to tell you more, but my first impression is very positive.
Battery
Nokia claims battery life of 12 hours for the N1. This seems realistic, as the battery capacity is 5300 mAh. In comparison, the Nexus 7 (2013) - not exactly a model for the device category - has a battery capacity of 3750 mAh.

Softcard App will Shut Down and Accounts Closed on March 31st

2015-03-05T00:47:00.001-08:00

Softcard, the failure of a mobile payment system created by Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, that tried its hardest to kill Google Wallet for years only to be acquired last month by Google in the most hilarious turn of events, is officially shutting down on March 31. According to emails being sent out to the four Softcard users in existence, the Softcard app will no longer work come March 31 and accounts will then be closed shortly after.

Yahoo launches tools to help developers monitor their apps

2015-02-21T14:04:00.002-08:00

Yahoo has announced new tools for mobile app developers at their first mobile developer conference. The Yahoo Mobile Developer Suite includes tools built using technology from Flurry, which Yahoo acquired in July 2014, including an updated version of Flurry Analytics Explorer. The suite also has tools to help monetize their apps, as well as an easy way to integrate Yahoo search directly into apps.

Yahoo Search in Apps - This offering makes it easy for developers to integrate Yahoo Search directly into their apps. This enhances the user experience by allowing users to search the web from within the app, and can create an additional monetization channel for developers.

Lollipop users use there voice to toggle flashlight, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth

2015-02-21T13:59:00.002-08:00

Users running the latest version of Android can now change simple settings with simple voice commands, hands-free.

Google Now has long supported voice commands for jumping to device settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. But there was no way to do it with just your voice – issuing a command would open the correct setting, but you had to manually toggle it with a tap. Now this small, but rather inexplicable annoyance is gone, at least if you run Lollipop and the latest version of the Search app.

The feature currently works with the built-in flashlight, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Other features like GPS, Airplane Mode, volume settings, or tethering don’t seem to work in our testing. For the three features that work, you will get a vocal confirmation and a card that lets you toggle the feature back off with a tap.

Devices running KitKat or earlier don’t seem to have the feature, though turning on the flashlight (but not Bluetooth or WiFi) works on my KitKat-running Ascend Mate 7.

It’s unclear what’s taking Google so long to roll out this relatively simple functionality to Google Now, given that features like taking pictures or playing songs from Play Music or YouTube are already integrated. While, in many cases, a couple of taps may be easier than saying command, this is just another milestone on the long road to human-like computer comprehension.

On a related note, those who want more extensive command support in Google Now can try out Commands; it’s not an official solution, but it gets the job done.

Samsung is no longer the largest smartphone vendor in India

2015-02-07T08:22:00.003-08:00

Samsung is no longer the largest smartphone vendor in India, as research firm Canalys is reporting that Micromax shipped more units than the South Korean vendor in the fourth quarter. Local manufacturer Micromax accounted for 22 percent of all smartphone sales in the country during the last quarter of 2014, while Samsung came in second with a 20 percent share.

Micromax sold 4.6 million devices in India, while Samsung managed 4.4 million sales. This is the first time Samsung lost out to Micromax in the smartphone segment in India. According to Canalys, a total of 21.6 million smartphones were sold in the country in Q4, an increase of 90 percent from the same time a year ago.

A majority of sales came from the budget segment, with nearly a quarter of all devices sold priced at under $100. Devices in the $100 to $200 category amounted to 41 percent of all sales. Indian manufacturers Karbonn and Lava came in at third and fourth, with sales of 2 million and 1.5 million respectively.

Micromax has redoubled its efforts in these segments, partnering with Cyanogen in launching an online-only sub-brand called Yu. The first handset, dubbed Yu Yureka, comes with CyanogenMod out of the box and is now available for sale exclusively on Amazon India.

Hide Photos and Data with 3 Android Apps - Review

2015-02-07T05:25:00.000-08:00

Smartphones are usually personal devices (and tablets more or less are, too), but not always, and even if they are that won’t necessarily keep people from snooping around. Sometimes you need to hide files you don’t want others to see, and though we won’t presume why that’s the case, we will show you how to do it. We're concentrating on Android smartphone and tablet users in particular with this article, but iOS, Windows Phone users and others can follow along.

There are a few different methods to do this, and they’re generally as follows: creating a hidden folder in which files are placed, nesting data deep inside of some obscure folder no one will be looking in, or using a hidden file app made specifically for hiding content. While the first two are valid enough options, we’re going to go with the hidden files app in this case, as it presents a few perks you won’t get with the other methods: namely ease of use and password protection.

HidePhoto

HidePhoto is an app made by DoMobile, and it has quite a few users, most of whom have given it favorable reviews. The app is a piece of cake to use, and doesn't go to much effort to hide its existence. Rather, it just keeps out those you don't want in, doing so via a PIN that must be entered to access the vaulted content. A recovery email can be entered, which isn't such a good idea if that inbox is readily accessible from the handset. Photos and videos can be moved into the “vault”, which removes it from the gallery. There’s also an option to hide the app’s icon, and instead access it by entering a combination in the phone’s dial pad instead.

Gallery Vault - Hide Video and Photo

Gallery Vault is another option similar to HidePhoto, and it includes support for a handset’s SD card as long as the phone is running Android 4.4 or higher. Existing images can be imported into the app, where they are hidden behind a passcode that keeps prying eyes out. Don’t want others to even know you’re using an app like this? You can likewise set the app to be completely invisible, with photos being accessible via the phone’s dial pad. (This app is also available to iOS users, and is called Photo Vault).

File Hide Expert

File Hide Expert enjoys a large user base, and few have any complaints about it. File Hide Expert supports hiding any files on your Android smartphone, not just photos and videos. This means any text files, PDFs, data files, and more can also be hidden and made accessible only with a passcode. In addition, the app also supports handsets running Android versions as old as 2.2, making it a solid option for a wide array of users.

Android Is Beating iOS In Web Usage

2014-08-06T04:20:00.001-07:00

Apple has lost yet another battle to Android.

According to the latest data from Net Applications (via 9to5Mac), Android usage is now higher than iOS, Apple’s iPhone and iPad operating system. Net Applications measures web traffic across 160 million monthly visits.

For the longest time, Apple CEO Tim Cook would mock Android — Android tablets in particular — by saying no one uses them. Last year he said, “I don’t know what these other tablets are doing. They must be in warehouses, or on store shelves, or maybe in somebody’s bottom drawer!”

But, he can’t make fun of Android any more. Web traffic to Android is higher than iOS for the first time in history. This shows that Android users are getting more engaged with their devices, using them more and more.

What does this mean for Apple in the long run? It’s hard to say. Android has been clobbering iOS in market share for years now, but Apple has been fine.

Apple is still minting cash, and the iPhone business continues to grow at a double digit pace on annual basis.

The risk for Apple in any of these situations is that developers abandon the platform for Android, which has more users, and, now, a more engaged user base. If Apple loses developer interest, then it will have worse applications, and iOS becomes a second-tier platform.

Apple has hundreds of millions of users and millions of developers. There are no signs that developers are getting bored with the platform.

So, this is mostly just an embarrassment for Apple right now.

Android's power user percentage at 23 percent

2014-08-06T04:14:00.001-07:00

Most Android users fall into the moderate and light category based on data consumption, but 23 percent are power users who account for 57 percent of traffic, according to Strategy Analytics.

Twenty-three percent of Android users would be considered power users, with the majority falling into the moderate usage category, according to Strategy Analytics.

The big question is whether that stat sounds low. In tech circles, Android appears to be the geekiest of the mobile platforms. Folks who care about things like rooting devices use Android — as do people who'll tinker a bit.

To answer that question about whether 23 percent are power users, it's worth looking at Strategy Analytics' definitions. A light user consumes less than 50 MB in data per day. A moderate user consumes 50 to 300 MB per day and a power user tops 300 MB. The data usage covers Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
What's Hot on ZDNet

A power user could consume data from streaming music or video. I'd define power user more as someone doing real work.

Strategy Analytics' sample size was 1,500 Android users.

Localytics found that Android users historically have skewed toward power users, but the company looks at app usage instead of data consumed. Generally speaking, iOS apps have been more sticky, but Android is closing the gap.

Power users as defined by Localytics — those who use an app more than 10 times a month — are equal on iOS and Android.

In any case, wireless carriers love the power users since they'll pay more for data and drive the most revenue.

Android L preview: Dashing Look for android sets

2014-08-06T04:08:00.000-07:00

Google announced the latest version of Android at I/O. The developer preview tips a new colorful design approach to the operating system, as well as several handy new features.

Android L — which does not have a cute dessert name yet — is the biggest facelift Google has given Android in years. Google SVPs Sundar Pichai and Matias Duarte gave a preview of the future of Android at the Google I/O developer conference on Wednesday.

It starts with design: this is certainly the prettiest version of Android ever. Gone is the focus on charcoal and grey from earlier years, and in is a newfound emphasis on color. Following current design trends, Android L also emphasizes “material design,” which turns app windows into cards. Each card has a specified “elevation value,” which allows the Android UI to automatically add drop shadows, perspective, and other animation touches regardless of screen size or dimension.

There’s also a good deal of new animations included in Android L: for instance, a new touch feedback animation that looks like “ripples in a pond.”

Google’s new guidelines for developers to make it easier to keep a consistent look and feel across Android — say, on a big 10-inch tablet as well as a tiny smartwatch screen.

The first place users will notice the visual change is in Google’s built-in apps: for instance, the Gmail app previewed on stage has large amounts of neutral space, a flat design, and Google’s updated Roboto font. The dialer features bold colors, that ripple animation mentioned earlier, and more neutral space.

Notifications have also gotten a lot of attention, with active banners popping up, even if you’re currently in another app, and a new approach to the lockscreen which allows users to take action on notifications without unlocking the device. One of the coolest features here is called Personal Unlocking, which uses context to skip locking the phone down. For instance, if your device is paired with a Bluetooth watch in the area, your phone will stay unlocked.

Chrome, the default browser on Android, has received a big update, with new recent tab screens and improved performance. Consumers will also appreciate the new “Universal Data Controls” feature, which puts all the device’s privacy settings in one place, and “Factory Reset Protection,” which provides a tool for administering remote wipes. Also appreciated: a new set of apps which will help save and monitor your device’s battery.

Under the hood — I/O is a developer’s conference, after all — there’s a lot that’s new as well. Most important is ART, which stands for Android Runtime. Google said ART manages RAM better than Dalvik, the previous runtime, and it’s fully 64-bit compatible. Google also announced the Android Extension Pack, which is a new collection of graphic tools like geometry shaders for game developers.

If you’re lucky enough to have a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7, you can download the Android L ROMs later today.

Motorola exec confirms: Moto X to get Android L software update

2014-08-06T03:58:00.000-07:00

Good news for folks (like me) who bought a Moto X handset: Android Central notes the phone will be upgraded to Android L after Google releases the next major software version. Android L is currently available in a developer preview for Nexus 5 and 7 devices, and is expected to debut publicly later this year.

Motorola previously said its budget Moto E handset would get the next major Android upgrade but hasn’t clarified its position on the Moto G and X phones. Confirmation of Android L for the Moto X came from Motorola’s Punit Soni on Google+, responding to the question about Android L for the Moto X with a simple “Yup” statement.

Given that the budget Moto E and its relatively lowly specs are getting Android L, surely the more powerful Moto X is capable of running Google’s newest Android software. Look at the long history of Android updates for phones, however, and you’ll see plenty of examples where “capable” devices were left out in the cold due to various handset maker or carrier decisions. Motorola has been a leader when it comes to Android updates, though.

Thanks to the largely stock Android user interface on its phones, along with useful custom apps that are available in the Google Play Store, Motorola devices upgrade paths are a little easier to tread: The company can push software updates more quickly than some competitors.

That’s one of the main reasons I still use a Moto X as my primary Android phone, in fact: Yes, there are phones with better processors, cameras or screens, but this phone meets my needs now, and with expected software updates and Motorola’s history of making them available more quickly than most, it will probably meet my needs for a while to come. I won’t lie, though: I’m still intrigued by the purported Moto X+1, a successor to my Moto X.

Motorola updates Motorola Connect app with new look and features

2014-07-09T12:24:00.002-07:00

If you own a Motorola Moto X, Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx or Droid Mini and you have not tried the Motorola Connect app, you may want to head on over to the Play Store to give it a try. If you have already checked out the app, you will be glad to know an update is rolling out that adds a couple new features and overhauls the look and feel. Motorola Connect lets owners of the specific Motorola devices see and respond to text messages from their computer via a Chrome Extension to the Chrome Browser.

Motorola has updated the look and feel of the app. They have also modified it so that it is now located in the Apps Tray, which should make it a little easier to access. As far as new features, Motorola added a “Ring my phone” function which will be especially handy for those users who have misplaced their smartphone and could use a little help finding it.

The app is free, but as noted it only works on a limited number of Motorola devices running Android 4.4 KitKat. If you are just now trying the app out, be sure to also grab the Chrome Extension and install it on your computer.

LG G3 S leaks: dual SIM capabilities and SIM-switching soft button

2014-07-09T12:14:00.001-07:00

We’ve already heard about the LG G3 Mini, but what about the LG G3 S?

According to @evleaks, the G3 S is a dual SIM version of the flagship which features a fourth software key (alongside the three default Android software keys) which allows easy switch between the two SIM cards.

The exterior will be similar to the G3 Mini, including a 5-inch 720p display, 8MP rear camera, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, a 2,400 mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Most dual SIM smartphones are only available in select markets (meaning not the US), so we’ll see where the device ends up relatively soon. Expect a launch of the device alongside the G3 Mini.

Beware! Fake Chinese Android smartphones come preloaded with malware

2014-06-18T17:24:00.000-07:00

The Android platform is no stranger to malware, in fact in the first three months of this year over four lakh malwares were detected on Google’s operating system. The battle with malwares though has taken a new twist, with German publication Heise claiming (via PhoneArena) that certain Chinese smartphone makers are shipping smartphones with built-in malware.

A smartphone called Star N9500, which looks deceptively like Samsung’s Galaxy S4, is being shipped with a dangerous malware called Uupay.D bundled. The Trojan essentially collects the user’s personal information and sometimes also turns on the phone’s mic to listen to conversations taking place near the smartphone. It can also send SMS to premium services without the user’s knowledge.

The Star N9500 is available at an affordable $217 (Rs 13,000 approximately) in China, which has extended its reach. Surprisingly, the company has acknowledged the presence of the Trojan in the phone. But it claims that the malware is a part of the firmware, which makes it really difficult to remove.
