The eSIM gives us an improved and more secure customer experience, better designed devices, opens up new market opportunities for operators and enables entire new categories of connected devices. Let’s explore this baby in a little more detail.

Please bear with us for the next few paragraphs, as we look back in time.

The SIM card has reduced in size of the last 27 years

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards store network-specific information used to authenticate and identify subscribers on a cellular network and for the last 27 years have consisted of a physical card containing the chip which has to be inserted into the phone.

You may or may not remember, but in 1991, the SIM card that you inserted into your phone was the size of a credit card! In the intervening years the size of the humble SIM card has dramatically reduced.

As manufacturers continuously strive to make smaller, slimmer and lighter devices with more features, space is at an absolute premium. Even the humble headphone jack is starting to disappear to save precious millimeters, though the cynics among us may say that is to up-sell wireless headphones.

Surely the Nano-SIM, which at 12.30 mm in length and 8.80 mm wide is small enough? Yet, as an industrial designer, you have to remember that it’s not only the size of the SIM card itself but also the space taken up by the associated internal hardware and circuitry that needs to be accommodated. For many years, manufactures have had to design and accommodate the physical SIM card via SIM card trays or other internal slots. In the quest for more durable and waterproof phones, the more ingress points that can be removed the better.

More importantly, if you want to change operator either after your contract has ended or you’re traveling on holiday, you have to go and seek out a new SIM. In certain parts of the world, that’s easier said than done.

It’s all changing though. In the last few years Apple introduced the Apple SIM for use in iPad and as we led with, Google and Apple has included an eSIM as part of its new product launches.

What is the eSIM?

The eSIM/Embedded SIM, or as it’s more formally known, embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC), is smaller again at 5 mm in length and 5 mm in width and is soldered onto a device’s motherboard at the point of manufacturing while having the same functionality as a removable SIM. It has M2M (Machine to Machine) and Remote Provisioning capabilities. Now a GSMA standard, it wont be long before we see the eSIM become standard in other top tier handsets from Apple and Samsung, quickly followed by the others.

The future of eSIMs

The eSIM is the future but it will not happen overnight, look down at your phone now and it’s still got a physical SIM, and will still need one when you pass it onto your kids, other family members or sell it. In the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL the eSIM is currently only used by Google Project Fi and thus it has a physical Nano-SIM card tray for all the other operators.

What is certain though, given the time it will take manufacturers to include eSIM’s as standard, operator adoption and the life-cycle of current devices, it wont take another 27 years before we’ll see the physical SIM card consigned to history once and for all. So let Me know your thought concerning this new development using the Comment Section below!

Unlike desktop platforms though, VLC development on Android is slower. The complexity of Android platform and the special hardware characteristics of embedded platforms make the code porting process difficult.  However, version 2.5 of VLC for Android came out recently, featuring some tweaks and interesting additions.

Picture in Picture Mode

With its 2.5 release, VLC is one of the first Apps that can make use of Android Oreo’s Picture in Picture (PiP) mode. VLC also supports PiP mode on Android Nougat TV. It enables playback of videos in a separate window above other Apps. In addition, VLC provides an option to automatically continue video playback in PiP or background(audio only) mode while multitasking.

Enhanced User Interface

VLC for Android was always known for its bad looking User Interface. On this version, developers made an effort in updating the App’s interface by making it more Material Design friendly. The App will now display video information above each video’s cover picture. Moreover, multiple item selection is now available, making playlist creation easier. Card-view design is removed. Audio player has also seen some re-styling, its background now is a blurred version of current music cover, if it is available.

In addition, User Interface improvements made it possible to introduce a clean and easy to use Android Auto interface. This interface packs Google Voice search support too.

Redesigned Search

Search works a little different on this release. At first, typing something in the search box will trigger filtering in the current App view. A button stating “SEARCH IN ALL MEDIA LIBRARY” will then appear. Clicking this button will trigger a global search. Moreover, results are now grouped by video/artist/album/songs/genres/playlist.

Furthermore, VLC is compatible with Google Voice Search. Asking Google Now to do a search for something in VLC will instantiate a search in the VLC App.

360° Videos Playback Support

VLC can now play 360° videos. The user can change the viewpoint by swiping on the playback screen or with remote control arrows. Cardboard and VR support didn’t arrive in this release, but they will appear in the future.

New Database Model for Media Library

The Open Source media player now uses MediaLibrary for storing the device media library. MediaLibrary creates a SQL database for saving media information and enables faster data gathering and manipulation. Moreover, it is written in C++, which makes it faster to execute than Android Java code. VLC developers aim to make MediaLibrary a common module of all VLC ports. In the future, it will allow the Android VLC App to get extra capabilities, such as advanced content grouping and searching NAS content.

Media Formats Support and Playback Performance

• Adaptive (HLS/DASH) & TS playback is improved
• The player now uses OpenGLES 2.0 to render video on software decoders and media codec
• Support for VP8/9/10 in the MP4 container
• HDMI pass-through is now available

Lastly, this version of VLC drops support for Android Froyo devices, which do not have access to Google Play Store anymore.

Use Whatsapp as an Unlimited Storage Solution

If you are an experienced user of Whatsapp, then you know all too well that you can easily share files and documents with your contacts on Whatsapp with just a few taps. So, in order to use Whatsapp as a storage solution for your files and notes, all you need to do is create a virtual contact within Whatsapp, and share your important files with that contact, and access those files whenever you want to.

Sounds confusing? The below Steps will make it more Clearer, just follow Me….

How to Use Whatsapp as an Unlimited Storage Solution for Your Documents

The first thing that you have to do is create a group. If you are a seasoned Whatsapp user, then it’s highly likely that you know how to create a group on Whatsapp. It’s very simple; just open Whatsapp and tap on the menu button on the top right corner and then select New Group. After that, all you have to do is select participants of the group and put a title to the group.

In this particular case, make a new group with only one participant. Select any contact from your contacts list and add it to the group.

After the group is created, open this group and tap its subject to view the list of participants of this group. Since there is only one participant, press and hold on its name and remove it from the group.

That’s it! What you’ve got now is a private store of your files and data that is visible only to you, which you can access from your smartphone/Android device and computer.

You can use this group to store as many documents as you want and then retrieve them later according to your requirements. You can even transfer files from your computer to this group by visiting the web version of Whatsapp (web.whatsapp.com) from your personal computer.

Why This Long Wait?

It has been over a year now, the wait was pretty darn long but the official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is finally here. New releases of Android often bring to the way ART works, which may require parts of Xposed to be reworked. For instance, with Android 7.0 Nougat, Google introduced a Just-in-Time compiler to help improveruntime performance of applications.

In the unofficial port of Xposed, developer abforce disabled many ART optimizations so that method hooking could work correctly. The implementation wasn’t obviously complete and not very stable. This is one of the primary reasons the developer of Xposed, rovo89, is hesitant to make his code open source and include more manpower. He prefers a better late than not safe approach.

And so now, he has come up with a way to keep all the ART optimizations, by recompiling a method’s caller using JIT and still having the method hooks in place. TL;DR this means you can still enjoy Xposed Framework as intended, without sacrificing performance by forcefully disabling ART optimizations.

That’s not all though. Since its inception, Xposed Framework was a way for people to enjoy custom ROM features on their stock ROMs. To oversimplify the process, it achieves this by allowing the modules to “hook” into the methods of other installed apps. The actual process is a lot more complicated and to make it work nearly universally on rooted devices, without needing a custom ROM, takes a lot of time.

Requirements

• As usual, you will need a rooted Android device.
• Your device also must have a custom recovery already installed.

Downloads

• Xposed Installer 3.1.2 APK
• Android 7.0 Nougat (sdk24) – Xposed Framework flashable zip
• Android 7.1 Nougat (sdk25) – Xposed Framework flashable zip

How to install Xposed Framework on Android Nougat

1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and the respective Xposed Framework flashable zip according to your Android version and device architecture.
   • arm – 32-bit devices
   • arm64 – 64-bit devices
   • x86 – devices with an Intel chip
2. Transfer the downloaded files to your Android device.
3. Boot your device into recovery mode. On many Android devices, this can be done by pressing and holding the Power button and Volume Down button together. But depending on the make and model of your device, the process can greatly differ.
4. Assuming that your device has the TWRP custom recovery like most others, it’d be a good idea to tap on the Backup button and create a NANDroid backup first.
5. To install Xposed, tap on the Install button and then select the downloaded flashable zip file.
6. Swipe at the bottom to flash the zip.
7. When the process is complete, you’ll see a Reboot system button at the bottom. Tap on it and your device should boot up normally.
8. Once it does, find the Xposed Installer APK you downloaded using a file explorer of your choice. Tap on the APK to install it. Though highly unlikely, if you haven’t enabled Unknown sources in Settings > Security you will have to do so before you can install the APK.
9. You’re now ready to launch Xposed Installer and download your favorite modules.

The lead developer of the Xposed Framework, rovo89 had been constantly updating users about the development but for some the wait was unbearable. I too was among those who had moved on to a life without Xposed. Are you ready to go back to the Xposed life? Or would you rather not?

After much anticipation, Google has launched a big crop of new hardware at its October 4 event, with the stars of the show being the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 smartphones.

Because the new Pixel phones do NOT have a 3.5mm headphone jack, Google also revealed the “Made For Google“ program; a line-up of officially approved third-party accessories made to Google’s required specifications. Amongst these devices, the most prominent are the headphones, of which there are quite a few different options designed to plug into the USB Type-C port:

• AiAiAi TMA-2 Modular Wireless MFG6 Preset (Bluetooth)
• AiAiAi TMA-2 Modular Wireless MFG7 Preset (Bluetooth)
• AiAiAi TMA-2 Modular Wireless MFG8 Preset (Bluetooth)
• Monster® Clarity HD™ On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones – Black/Gunmetal/Red

• Master & Dynamic MH40 Earphones Black Or Silver (USB-C)
• Master & Dynamic MH50 Earphones Black Or Silver (USB-C/Bluetooth)
• Master & Dynamic MH60 Earphones Black Or Silver (USB-C/Bluetooth)

You’re probably getting used to us trotting out this line in big announcement posts, but there’s no getting away from it – as per usual, the rumour mill left nothing to surprise us with and the two new Pixel phones fit pretty much spot on with what we’ve heard in advance.

Google Pixel XL 2

As with the previous generation, the Pixel XL 2 is the larger device, but also the more expensive with some slightly superior specs in some areas – most notably the display. The LG-made handset sports one of the Korean firm’s 18:9 aspect ratio, P-OLED display panels with a  1,440 x 2,880px resolution at 538ppi.

Android 8.0 Oreo also grants native Always On display support.

It’s a 6in display which is taller than the last-gen Pixel XL’s screen, though the same width. A polaraizer has also been added to improve readability in bright sunshine, and it uses Gorilla Glass 5 for protection from knocks.

The long side-bezels are very narrow, but the top and bottom are thicker than what we’ve become used to on 18:9 display handsets due to the presence of dual stereo speakers on the front, at top and bottom.

Design-wise you’re looking at an aluminium frame and glass panelling on the back as well, and, pleasingly contrary to late-in-the-day rumours the Pixel XL 2 does feature IP67 water and dust resistance; a significant boost on the first gen which means the phone can actually survive a dunk in the bath.

The primary camera is a single-sensor 12MP setup, which improves on the Pixel XL with optical stabilisation added (OIS). The front-facing selfie cam is an 8MP setup with an f/2.4 aperture – same as last year.

The processor is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, backed up by 4GB of RAM. The base storage model is 64GB and there’s a 128GB version for high rollers. The battery cell is the same as 2016’s model at 3,520mAh.

The Pixel XL 2 uses an eSIM for services like Google Fi, but it still has a nano-SIM slot if you want to keep with conventional methods via GSM and CDMA. Lastly, the Pixel XL 2 (and the Pixel 2) borrow the HTC U11’s squeezy lower surround, which can be used to trigger certain software functions on the device – by default this is set up to launch Google Assistant.

It’ll arrive in the middle of November with the 64GB model starting at $850. The 128GB model will cost $950. Colour options include “Just Black” or “Black & White.”

Google Pixel 2

The “regular” Pixel 2 is the more affordable edition. For the most part the spec is the same as the Pixel XL 2, but the main difference is the display, which isn’t one of those wide aspect ratio 18:9 jobbies and thus doesn’t have very narrow side bezels. The Pixel 2 also keeps the stereo front-facing speakers at top and bottom.

The display is a 5in AMOLED setup with a 1080p resolution; basically the same as last year.

The Pixel 2 will land at the same time as its brother – mid-November. The 64GB base model costs $650 while the 128GB edition is $750, meaning that slightly lower spec display does save you a few bucks. Colour choices are “Just Black”, “Clearly White”, and “Kinda Blue.”

Swipe to Go Gesture on Android

Step 1: Install ‘All in one Gestures’ app and grant permissions

On the iPhone X, a simple swipe up from the bottom takes you to the homescreen. To emulate that on an Android device you will need an app called All in One Gestures. There are other apps that can do the job as well but it’s not possible to write a guide for all of them. So we’ll be using this one.

All in one Gestures (Free⁺, Google Play) →

When you’ve installed the app, start it and you will be welcomed with the entire program’s latest changelog. Now select “Close”. You will also need to grant permissions to this app, including the permission to ‘Modify system settings’.

Step 2: Enable Home Gesture in App

Following that, you will notice the app main screen has three tabs: Hard Keys, Swipe, and Status bar. Go to the “SWIPE” tab and switch on the “Enable” toggle. As soon as you switch it on, you will be prompted to grant Accessibility permissions to the app, so do it as instructed on the screen.

Now unlike the iPhone, this app on Android allows you to customize different trigger areas for dedicated actions including the edges and corners. Since we are trying to emulate the swipe up gesture, select “Bottom Area” in the Edges section. Once you do that a sub-menu will pop up to select a predefined action or app that will be triggered. For our purpose to imitate the iPhone-like gesture, we will select “Home” as the action.

Now go back to the homescreen by just swiping up from the bottom.

Step 3: Hide gesture area

After enabling and using Swipe to Go gesture on Android, you should see a trigger are on the bottom of the screen (Or any other area that you selected). So to make the experience less intrusive, we will be hiding the gesture area.

Open the ‘All in one Gestures’ app again and tap on the hamburger menu icon in the top left. Select Personalization > Edge Preferences and then bring down the Opacity to 0 percent. You will not be seeing with the white circle anymore, however, the trigger place is still there and you may swipe to go home anytime you would like.

The Fantastic news is that the home gesture works on all the programs and nearly anywhere across the Android UI, unlike the iPhone. While it works like a charm, whenever you swipe back via the gesture, then you will notice a message at the bottom saying “Back”, which might disturb some people. But we think that the Message isn’t a deal breaker since it doesn’t hinder the experience.

One of the highlights of the user experience of Instagram is “the story”. It is actually just a feed that shows the videos and pictures you have shared through your account with your followers (and others, if your posts are public). But the thing about these stories is that they stay up only for 24 hours and then get deleted afterward. Instagram doesn’t allow its users to retrieve an old story, which is a bit of a downer for some. If you are one of those people who want to store stories on your device locally, then you can do so with the help of an Android app called “Story Saver for Instagram”.

How to Store Instagram Story on Your Smartphone

If you have an Android smartphone, saving a friend’s Instagram story to your phone is easy. Just head to the Google Play Store from your phone and download an app named “Story Saver for Instagram” or scroll down to download it straight from Google Play Store. It is a flexible, simple-to-use app that lets you download and store Instagram stories (images and videos) on your phone.

After you launch the app, you shall be required to log in using your Instagram account credentials. Once you are logged in, the main page will display all the stories that your followers have published. But you are not only limited to your own followers, you can look for others’ stories as well by using the Search bar.

Locate the image or video you want to save and then tap Save. The selected graphic will be saved on your device which you can later access through the app’s folder in your Gallery.
