Samsung Galaxy S III update does away with the universal search

Renewal of 'stability' to the international latest Samsung Galaxy S III is no longer lets you search your local data (such as contacts and media files), because of legal pressure from Apple.

This comes after a similar patch is removed from the universal search function variants of Sprint and AT & T of the Galaxy S III in the U.S. a few weeks ago. The driving force behind the downgrade is patented by Apple search features found in Samsung Galaxy Nexus violated, which, as you'll recall, temporarily banned from sale in the United States because of this.

This is somewhat of a mystery why Samsung has decided to remove this feature on the international version as well, since Apple has not pursue any infringement of patents in foreign countries, but most likely a precaution by Samsung, who did not want to hinder III star's record sales.
This update does not mean that we have seen the last of the III's search for local devices, but until Samsung found an alternative, know that the latest firmware version - XXLG6 - does away with this function.

Snapdragon refers to S4 Pro, crush the older chipset

Lucky geeks at Engadget got their hands on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MDP (Mobile Platform Developer) and managed to run some benchmarks on it. The Snapdragon chipset in question is the S4 Pro APQ8064 - with quad-core processors and Krait Adreno 320 GPU. It should come as no surprise then that it managed to beat the chipset is now quite easy.

Krait is a new architecture than the Cortex-A9 (which powers the like of the Tegra chipset Exynos 3 and 4 Quad) and even dual-core Kraits usually come close to the quad-core A9 in the test. Brand new Adreno GPU powerful enough, too - it is a new design than the 2xx series.


Prosesor ini menawarkan dua kali lipat kinerja CPU dual-core Krait menurut CF-Bench (tidak mengherankan di sini) dan peningkatan yang besar pada quad-core-A9 Cortex chipset. Hasil SunSpider juga meningkat meskipun JavaScript tidak persis multicore-friendly.
GLBenchmark memperlihatkan kinerja GPU memiliki lebih dari dua kali lipat sejak Adreno 225 dan dengan mudah mengalahkan Tegra 3 GeForce GPU. Mali-400MP di chipset Exynos datang lebih dekat, tapi masih lebih dari 30fps belakang.
Itulah beberapa hasil yang sangat mengesankan, tetapi akan menjadi saat sebelum kita melihat chipest mengerikan di dalam produk konsumen. S4 Pro chipset mungkin akan debut pada tablet, melihat bagaimana setiap pembuat smartphone utama telah meluncurkan ponsel andalannya (selain Apple, tapi mereka akan menggunakan desain mereka sendiri saja).

Android now powers 51.8% of U.S. smartphone, the continued growth

Top analyst firm Nielsen has published its report on the U.S. smartphone market in the second quarter of 2012. Quarter saw continued growth in smartphone as a two-thirds of all new customers choosing a smartphone.
Android continues to be in the lead, powering 51.8% of all U.S. smartphone and 54.6% of the purchased during the last three months. And it is a quarter before the Samsung Galaxy S III was launched.

IOS is another rising platform, with Apple OS accounting for 34.3% of U.S. smartphone and 36.3% of newly acquired. IOS is expected to begin to lose speed in the third quarter 4S iPhone availability, but things would change after the iPhone 5 out.

BlackBerry is the only platform on the Nielsen records and continue to fall free. While the RIM OS is still a force of 8.1% of U.S. smartphone respectable, it only managed a market share of 4% to new customers. This means that it may soon join the dreaded "others" category, formally change the U.S. smartphone market to a two-horse race.

The platform is hoping to qualify for the category - Windows Phone - only managed a market share of 1.3%. Lineup Nokia Lumia still struggling to make an impact, covering only 0.3% of the market, despite heavy promotion of Lumia 900 both by Finnish and AT & T.

In addition to expected bump in CPU clock speed, SL Xperia (LT26ii) definitely will add some color exclusive to the family of Sony Xperia S.
Blue and pink is the color of choice, making the boys and girls happy.

Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Note 2 on August 30

According to Digital Daily Korean Samsung site plans to have an event to unload Note Galaxy 2. That should happen on August 30 - the day before the show starts at IFA Berlin, Germany.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean had to turn all of them.

With the original Galaxy official records at last year's IFA, it is only logical for a replacement to arrive at the same event a year later. However, Samsung decided not to bring the Galaxy S III for MWC earlier this year, so there's always the chance that Korea will have separate events for other devices they are also key. It's good this does not happen, though.

Samsung Notes Galaxy plagued by problems with the display

Note Galaxy has enjoyed quite smooth sailing since its launch late last year, but it's not perfect trouble-free device. It turns out that the 5.3 "display phoneblet plagued by problems, only recently discovered by the XDA community.

This problem consists of black clipping and appeals in the photos and video, which has a dark shadow. According to one owner of the Galaxy notes, which got in touch with us, the problem is most likely due to error or kernel-level software for Gamma calibration is affected by poor on-screen.
The following video shows the problem. Note the blown patch that appears in dark scenes.

We have not seen an official statement from Samsung about the problem as well as information about a potential fix.

It is said that a picture of the next generation iPhone leak

We have seen leaked images of next generation iPhone before but they just come back from an aluminum shell.

Today, we have what looks like a completely assembled device was placed next to the current iPhone 4S. As before, this device was again pointed at the screen, larger screen. We can see the edge to edge glass on top and a black aluminum body on the side.
The pictures are also denoted with the tone of the previous two back, with a plastic / glass at the top and bottom and aluminum in the middle. In this case, however, again apparently from a single color. Below have also been redesigned with a connector, dock-new smaller, large grille for speaker and microphone and headphone jacks, which have been moved to the bottom.
As often happens, one should take this with a pinch of salt. However, these are some pretty convincing images. We will see more of this as the next generation iPhone launch is getting closer.

Look out for Windows 8 Phone soon

Welcome Windows 8 Phone

Aloha, 

A billion people cannot be wrong; Windows 8 Phone is based on Windows OS.

Windows 8 Phone was officially announced today and it will be available at a kiosk near  you by the end of the year.

Windows OS is used by more than a billion people and the new Windows 8 Phone is built on this rock-solid foundation. Windows 8 Phone will have the same attractive common feature set as Windows 8 related to:

·         Networking

·         Security

·         Media and Brower technology

·         File system

Look at this gamut of features that the new phone will usher:

(The following taken from the blog: )

·         Multi-core processor support: As reviewers have noted, Windows Phone runs buttery smooth on phones with a single processor. But piggybacking on the Windows core provides support for multiple cores—so we’re ready for whatever hardware makers dream up.

·         Bigger, sharper screens: Windows Phone 8 supports two new screen resolutions—1280x768 and 1280x720, opening the door to amazing new handsets with high-definition 720p displays.

·         More flexible storage: Windows Phone 8 supports removable MicroSD cards, so you can stuff your phone with extra photos, music, and whatever else is important to you, and then easily move it all onto your PC.

             

·         NFC wireless sharing: If you haven’t heard the term “NFC” yet, I’m betting you soon will. This emerging wireless technology lets phones share things over short distances. In Windows Phone 8, it helps make sharing photos, Office docs, and contact info easier—just tap your phone another NFC-equipped device. How cool is that?

I              If you have not heard of NFC please review my previous post.  (not from blog)  

http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2012/05/will-nokia-bundled-with-nfc-steal.html 

·         Internet Explorer 10: The next version of Windows Phone comes with the same web browsing engine that’s headed for Window 8 PCs and tablets. IE10 is faster and more secure, with advanced anti-phishing features like SmartScreen Filter to block dangerous websites and malware.

·         Wallet: Windows Phone 8’s new digital Wallet feature does two great things. It can keep debit and credit cards, coupons, boarding passes, and other important info right at your fingertips. And when paired with a secure SIM from your carrier, you can also pay for things with a tap of your phone at compatible checkout counters.

·         Better maps and directions: Windows Phone 8 builds in Nokia mapping as part of the platform. Our partnership will provide more detailed maps and turn-by-turn directions in many countries, plus the ability to store maps offline on your phone so you can work with maps without a data connection.

·         Cooler apps and games: Basing Windows Phone 8 on the Windows core will unleash a new wave of amazing apps and especially games, for reasons I’ll touch on in a moment.

Together with the release of Windows Phone 8 there appears to be Windows phone 7.8.

The reason for this is to assure the Windows 7 (7.5?) users that they can use the same start screen as Windows 8. It appears Windows 8 will not run on existing hardware.

What a pity, just as I was getting used to my Samsung Focus with Windows 7, Microsoft pulled the rug under my feet.:@

How many apps on Windows 8 Phone?

Well it looks like 10,000 and counting. The number is really immaterial, what matters is their usefulness.

Here is a quick scoop for developers. Sure, you get all the needed stuff:

·         Native Code Support

·         In-app purchase

·         Integrate Internet calling

·         Multitasking enhancements

Well, of course there will be an SDK as well. That should satisfy your thirst!

I suppose this will all encompass all bits and piece , Skype, PayPal, Twilio and many others.
