If this news is true, the Nexus 4 white color gets the honor of being the first phone to use Android 4.3.

Google’s own Android 4.3 is expected to be announced in the event Google I / O. Unfortunately, there is no information at all about it.

Some sources say that the operating system that is present only minor updates. That is, this is not a major update, as of Android 3.0 Honeycomb to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Another Leaked mentioned, Android 4.3 will support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), OpenGL graphics for Embedded Systems 3.0, and data synchronization applications.

Code name of Android 4.3 is still yet to be revealed. However, there are indications that stated, the operating system will continue to use the code name Jelly Bean.

LG Nexus 4 bumper scenario back in stock by way of Perform Retailer

admin — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:51:25 +0000

When the Nexus 4 bumper case first arrived to Google’s virtual store shelves, it managed to disappear from Google Play just as quickly as the Nexus 4 itself. Luckily, the official LG Nexus 4 bumper is now back in stock through the Play Store, at least in the United States.

The bumper case will set you back just $ 19.99. The big question is should you get it? Honestly, yes.

The cost isn’t very much and the bumper truly can help keep your phone safe from minor bruising and bumps, not to mention that its two-tone coloring looks perfect on your Nexus 4. That said, it is just a side bumper and so if you want something that covers the whole back, you might want to look for a third party accessory.

If you are interested, you better act now. It’s hard to say how long supplies will last this time around. Do you have an official Nexus 4 bumper? What do you think of it, do you feel it was worth the purchase?

Nexus 4 LTE on AT&T obtainable, but only on Band 4 (1700MHz)

admin — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 05:27:31 +0000

Google’s Nexus 4, also known as the Optimus G’s younger LTE-less brother does pack LTE support under the hood, or at least some of the required components, although don’t expect Google to turn it on at any point in the future.

Google explained – or at least tried to offer a plausible explanation – as to why the handset lacks official LTE support, and LG also revealed why the device does contain at least some parts that make LTE work, albeit not all of them.

But intrepid Android hackers managed to get LTE working at least on some Canadian LTE bands, although that didn’t mean everyone in the world will be as lucky.

In fact, because LTE operates on different bands, depending on the spectrum available to a certain mobile operator, chances are that international Nexus 4 units will not get LTE support unless local networks use some of the same LTE bands available in Canada.

Moving back to North American Nexus 4 owners, we’ll tell you that some lucky AT&T subscribers will be able to access the carrier’s growing LTE network, at least in some U.S. regions where Band 4 is used (1700MHz).

So if you live anywhere in the following areas, you may be able to turn on LTE on your recently acquired Nexus 4, as long as AT&T uses it for LTE purposes: Phoenix, Raleigh, San Juan, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Athens, GA and College Station, TX.

In case you live in any other AT&T LTE markets, then you’re probably using Band 17 (700MHz,) which isn’t compatible with the Nexus 4.

Let’s hear it from AT&T subscribers that got LTE running on their Nexus 4s. How is everything working out for you?

Google upgrades Android Emulator for Faster Performance

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:58:52 +0000

Google has improved the emulator which will help android app developers to develop applications with ease. The Android emulator is an application tool for Android developers for building and testing the Android applications. It’s a virtual mobile device to test android applications on a computer. It mimics all the hardware and software of a typical mobile phone. It allows testing an application without the use of an actual mobile phone.

Google has recently updated the features of the android emulator on April 9, 2012. This update will appease android developers. As the demand and use of android devices have grown by leaps and bounds, the emulator found it difficult to keep pace. Last month Google added x86 support to the android emulator that allowed android developers to test ICS app at ‘usable’ speeds. Google has now made ‘significant improvements’ to the emulator to enhance the performance.

GPU Support: The emulator has an in-built GPU support. Android devices rely more on the graphics chip for improved performance. So the emulator will have the advantage of hardware acceleration. This will facilitate more realistic simulation. The emulator supports OpenGL ES 2.0, so it can run OpenGL games inside it. This will enable developers to develop games for different devices and to run it within the emulator to check the performance.

Hardware Feature: Hardware is the most essential element for any electronic device. Google has also enhanced the hardware features of the android emulator. Last year it added the camera support to the emulator, and now with some hardware upgrades made, android developers can use tethered android device to test inputs for sensors and multi-touch input.

Google is working on providing Bluetooth and NFC support to the emulator. This emulator will be extremely useful for android developers.

CPU Performance: The android emulator has been improved on the CPU performance as well. The android engineering team wrote: “Hardware floating point operation has been available for system images since Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), allowing CPU operations to be emulated roughly twice as quickly. Last week’s r17 developer tools release included x86 system images and host drivers (available through the SDK Manager), allowing the emulator to access the host CPU natively and offer significantly faster execution.”

Android platform has close interactions between applications and system components, so this improved emulator will provide a complete system image. This shows how much interest Google takes to boost performance for android application developers.

Google is working on providing Bluetooth and NFC support to the emulator. This emulator will be extremely useful for android developers.

Android Tablet encountered dual problems

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:53:41 +0000

Android operating system version upgrades frequently brought trouble from the smart phones are transferred to the field of android tablet PCs.

Recently, the U.S. platform and services company Ap-pcelertor with research firm IDC global software developer active in 2700 survey found that many versions of the Android platform, and Android Tablet PC disappointing early sales, the developer of Android’sInterest is reduced.

Despite the developers left out, but Android system had been the cottage manufacturers of all ages. Cottage-based Android platform, flat-panel market, wind and water, the brand manufacturers to bring great pressure.

Stability has been questioned

“Stability is the biggest test of Android Tablet PC.” Patriot flat general manager who stars on the “Daily News” said, “such as Android 2.0 release, we do a good job, and it out 2.1,2.2,2.3 other version. “

Star has pointed out, Android system changes too fast, spread from the 2.2, 2.3 equipment listed, to the 3.0 release, after only a few months time, so frequently update the system easily lead to the application or hardware compatibility issues, which usersmanufacturers, developers are not a good thing.

The Motorola XOOM as an example, the first system to use Android3.0 flat products, as Android3.0 instability, XOOM the PF card can not be used.

For these problems, Google has been not find a suitable solution.

“Daily Economic News” from the market sources that deal specifically with Android framework Tablet PC chip solution in the market was limited. Currently, Qualcomm, Freescale, Infineon, TI and other international communications chip makers are involved in this field though, but the volume is not significant.

Call the industry standard

Short-term challenges facing Android is not small, as a tablet computer makers, how adverse situations to contend with the iPad?

Market research firm Canalys4 29 report released in the first quarter of Tablet PC shipments worldwide 6.4 million, which accounted for 74% of Apple’s shipments.

Insiders pointed out that the Android camp tablet hardware manufacturers, the large number of applications is the Android compete with Apple tablet PC key to winning.

Data show, iPad number of applications has reached 75,700, its up to 21,900 application developers. In contrast, the Android platform incompatibilities, channel payments problems, Android platform, developers and many other problems facing the difficult earnings.

What is HD Voice? And why call quality is generally so bad?

admin — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:39:00 +0000

If you are tired of low quality voice calls when hope is on the horizon in the form of HD Voice. This is a standard phone manufacturers increasingly mobile and mobile networks suppose. It has grown slowly, but it will. We’re used to seeing nickname HD video and TV, but it is now applied to the sound. Basically, but has the same meaning – High Definition in high resolution. Join us to answer the question – What is HD Voice?

What you need for HD Voice?

Firstly, if you want HD voice, you need to know how to get it! To support HD Voice, we need suitable mobile microphones and speakers, and new HD Voice Processing. Even if the phone is ready for HD Voice will not be good if the person you are talking to does not have a phone HD Voice ready. Therefore, all participants speak HD Voice compatible phones.

It is not easy to find a directory of phones that are and does not support HD Voice, but you should be able to find on the website of the network operator. On the other hand, it would be difficult to find an Android phone that does not support HD voice today.

Samsung Galaxy S3 supports HD Voice on LTE networks

In addition to HD Voice ready phones, you also need to talk to a network that supports the standard, too. This is because it requires a new way to translate your voice into digital components and zeros (for example, the “codec”). In the UK, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone and all three started supporting HD Voice, which means that only O2 to catch up. United States, Sprint announced support HD Voice, but uses a different codec standards that set the rest of the world, so you phone HD Voice may not be compatible as well. Therefore, if you live in the United States, do not expect HD voice in the foreseeable future. But things are better, if you live in Canada.

What is HD voice anyway?

Here’s the science part of it! To begin with, “codec” is short for “codecs”, and how the electrical signal is digitized encoded for transmission between the transmitter and the receiver. For example, consider the latest MP3 you bought. Musicians created analog signal through their microphones and then digitized into a series of ones and zeros of their tachograph. Primary digital data is then pushed through “MP3″ codec to compress the amount of data and to prepare, you can download on your phone. Some scanning depends on how the microphone detects sound. In other words, the higher the frequency that best suits? The issue of frequency response applied to a device that reads audio headphones and speakers.

A recently announced Sony Xperia T will also support HD Voice

Similarly, when two phones communicating over a wireless network, it must do the same, except that the microphones used are much worse than what you would find in a recording studio, and bands of default codec on many more data that is MP3. This is why we seem so horrible to each other on the phone. Standard codec for mobile called Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) and is designed to operate with a frequency range of 300-3400 Hz, however, the HD Voice codec, Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AWB, AMR-WB), with a frequency range 50-7000 Hz much broader That means more of your voice is preserved and transmitted to the person to whom you speak. There is a variant called AMR-WB Floating Rate Multimode Wideband (VMR-WB), which is compatible and works the same way.

In both cases, the HD Voice codecs use the same amount of data [that] AMR blocks communicate its much richer, and that cleverly adapts the speed at which the sound of the incoming sample. For simple audio signals, “pass”, codec supports less data to describe the signal to the receiver. But when the sound becomes much more complicated, both codecs to increase the sampling frequency, ie, resolution and use a lot more data to represent the audio signal, thus maintaining a level of quality that before.

As a very simple example of this type of variable sampling rate, see the table below show the effect of passing a constant sampling frequency (ie how often the device measures the volume sound), the sampling rate variable, and the details are recorded at a sampling frequency can be changed.

AMR-WB is also said to have an excellent noise reduction technology, even if it seems to be part of the secret of patented technologies. This is due to the higher frequency range dominated the AMR-WB and VMR-WB that smartphones need great microphones and speakers. The equipment must be able to respond, and express all frequencies codec handle.
Finally

Here is a demo that was done in the voice Engadget HD British branch during the execution of Orange UK.
