Apple the Salvation of the World in Hands

The company with signal ground-apple needs no introduction. The American company runs one of the best periods of its history, with sales of the iPhone to look better than ever, while Apple Watch sell like hot buns. What's the next step for Apple;

One would expect that it will continue spreading its tentacles in the technology sector. Where revived the smartphone, created the tablet and put the smartwatch in fashion. Things did not seem to go thither. Lately, it seems that Apple is throwing furtive glances toward the purchase of cars. Originally introduced the Apple CarPlay, an operating system exclusively for cars, wanting to transfer the user experience of iOS from the smartphone to the four wheels. But it seems that it does not stop there, since about a month ago rumors that Apple is interested in making the opening in the car market to build the Apple Car, with a possible release date in 2030.

Difficult

First let us analyze the specific reputation, and whether it might be possible. In Apple certainly looking with an evil eye on this market. We are talking about a global production of about 87 million cars per year, with developing markets to ask for more and more cars as the days pass. A market with a turnover of $ 9 trillion every year! So who would not want a piece of such a big pie?

The car market but not ... smartphone. To build a car from scratch is quite difficult. Firstly, there is a very strong competition, with the manufacturing companies time to time to shrink and be absorbed by the larger, making groups. General Motors, Daimler Benz, Fiat Group etc. are just a few of the examples where once large companies such as eg Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari failed to establish themselves and came to be bought by someone else (Fiat).

Another example of the difficulty of new firms to enter the market are Chinese companies. Chinese products have now penetrated everywhere, occupying almost always the first sales positions. But not in cars, where sales of these companies is poor even in China itself, with their names to us is completely unknown (SAIC, DongFeng Motors, Chery, etc). The development and production are very complex, while the buying public places 'tags' which hardly come off.

Apple is, however, according to the rumors that circulated seems that he knows the difficulties and not aimed at traditional auto market, but in another, nascent and promising. This hybrid - electric cars.

Electricity is the answer

This market appears to be growing in recent years, and enters slowly hand, catalytic not in our life. Large companies led to Toyota and famous anymore Prius and successors Europeans BMW, Mercedes, etc. seem to slowly invest in this category. The technology is really in its infancy, facing many problems, with most of them being what else, batteries, not even offer great autonomy and power to fuel cars. Of course, Apple is sure to contribute to this class car with the expertise of the battery issue (the difference smartphone- electric cars in this matter is not so great) with all companies to earn from such potential competition. And when we talk about competition can not omit the biggest competitor of Apple in that category, the Tesla. But what is the Tesla;

Tesla

First Tesla was known servoamerikanos physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla. A pioneer in electricity apart from the many inventions, gave his name (and plans for the engine) in a rising American electric car maker. Headquartered known Palo Alto, a purely technological company, took its first steps in cooperation with the well-known inventor (and CEO) Elon Musk, who saw the Tesla a company can realize his dreams of a planet that is not will be directly dependent on gasoline for transportation.

Natural obstacles are many. The Tesla strives to cut a piece of the pie by American giants, has managed to build only two models (Roadster and Model S) which, because of high production costs have the same selling price, making products for a few. The share of the company struggles to keep at satisfactory levels, while the release date of the next model has shifted from 2012 to the second half of 2015.

Apple + Tesla = Love?

And here comes somewhere in the middle of the Apple. Within the other rumors circulated was also that Apple may be interested in the acquisition of Tesla. Specifically, shareholders repeatedly asked him if Tim Cook will be interested in the company for such a market, and Elon Musk himself said that he was approached by Apple to ask him if he would be interested in such cooperation.

A task that does not seem very easy. First money are many. When the Beats Audio has cost Apple 3 billion dollars, the Tesla, with its shares falling because of low profits will cost much more to the company from Cupertino. With 180 billion reserves, it seems to be a problem for Apple, but it is certain that it will be an investment that will cost at Apple if it fails. And such great failures can bring any company to the brink.

But there is another obstacle. The enigmatic CEO of the company, Elon Musk does not know whether it would be positive to sell one of the most beloved creations. Money is not everything, and Elon Musk is one of those who definitely embraces much. With companies like PayPal, Space X and Tesla, goal seems to be the quality of life of the world (everything for a fee).

And what if?

So here we start our own speculations. Where there is smoke there is fire. And Apple has now a lot of money to spend, with everyone expecting a big bang, a multiple of that of Beats Audio. And because Apple wants to get in the auto space (and why not he is), does not have the expertise, experience, and patience to make something so complex in an area so unknown to her. The acquisition will be easier for this, the Tesla fits perfectly on Apple's profile (Just look at the technology and design that carries every model) and the technology of electric cars is one that will anyway follow the same for own proposal. As for the cost? To build a car from scratch and the refinements just wants Apple seems much more difficult and expensive than to develop an already remarkable background.

The salvation of the world courtesy of Apple

Here we go this venture a little further. What would a possible entry of Apple in the electric car market? Megaton bomb. Apple is no longer a simple smartphone producer, is becoming a way of life. Enthusiasts users around the world are rushing to buy anything on it the bitten apple, regardless of cost. The fact that any matter touching the Apple refreshed, or practical to create the Apple.

It will be the same with electric cars? Probably yes. An electric car made by Apple will create the sensation that made the first Model T Ford, over 100 years ago. The prohibition of price (do not forget that Tesla classified in the high-end car category) will not allow anyone to buy one, but it is certain that many people will buy high-class car will be the first choices of the Apple Car. Do not forget that the electric motor will help to promote, with buyers never approaching a gas station, a fairly significant advantage in the era of expensive gasoline worldwide.

This competition in the high category, certainly will not leave unperturbed major players worldwide. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, GM, will not so easily let Apple to steal their share, intensifying the development of electric cars. And as is known, competition is always a winner: the consumer.

And we have a winner: Us!

Winner of such a counter will certainly consumers. Imagine buying a car with Apple means, as the smartphone market before and after it. Apple has never sold economically smartphone, but the competition has brought leading technologies even to us ordinary mortals who are moving in the smartphone market of 200 euros. This is how you do with cars. More and more companies will actively engage in electric car technology, with prices falling geometric, technology to make huge steps and electric cars be made month after month and more popular.

Certainly over time, we will see a reduction of the sale of "traditional" models and increase electrical. Personal assessment is that within 5-8 years from the release date of the first electric car Apple consumers will have a serious dilemma between electrical or non-electrical. And this, only good can do. More electric cars means fewer emissions. It means better technology for batteries and so much more that can bring such a revolution. Apple saves the planet.

Bonus: The Apple will save and human health!

Ok, now maybe paraleme. The truth is however that Apple has ambitious plans for the Health App that has launched some time ago and will integrate and Apple Watch. The application of Apple recalling that controls many aspects of the user's health, and suggests ways to improve the quality of life. The promotion of this application means that it gives the opportunity to Apple to collect health data of hundreds of millions of users, offering to third parties the opportunity to create a database no other way to be, helping the development of therapies like no other.

Indeed, Apple will provide a new tool to other developers health applications, so there is a common path and function to the benefit of medical research and the development of existing therapies in many diseases.

When you consider that most medical research using data from at most a few thousand people, we understand what this means for medical research number ... millions of users of Apple. It is a revolution in research that will helper researchers searching with the dropper that data. Course will assist unlimited and pharmaceutical companies for the development of their medicines but this is another huge topic that does not fit in this article.

More data means better research. More accurate data means better research. Multiply above for millions ... and you will understand what we are talking revolution.

Epilogue

Somewhere here should therefore leave the champagne at party. The futurology is practically an area completely theoretical. And our thinking about the future of Apple is completely theoretical and this. The point is that a company as big, has the makings and the ability to improve our quality of life in all areas (for a fee always). Directly or indirectly. We hope this to be done.

iPad Pro: Photos from the case of warn us that we are giant

To French blog Nowhereelse, who dare to say that it is quite reliable for what transmits, has published new photos that allegedly show the case of the upcoming 12-inch iPad Pro, long time we hear something new about this upcoming device, to but we later associated with it and implicitly tell us much.

This time we can not see any internal component of the iPad Pro, we see one of the key accessories, a case which is compared to an iPad Air 2 and it seems that the 12-inch iPad looks great in front of the Air model. Via Twitter last month, Nowhereelse had mentioned that the dimensions of the large iPad is 305,7 × 222,6 × 7,2 mm so it is indeed "huge" compared to previous generations. Even from the photos given additional information relating to the external styling of the new iPad Pro which is nearly identical to the iPad Air 2, apart from the increased screen size. Of course, other micro-changes, as opening for the loudspeakers in the bottom and top side and an opening on the left side would be a further Lightning or USB-C port.

BlackBerry Oslo: The second company smartphone with square Design

To square the circle is something impossible, at least using only rule and diabetes, but to see a BlackBerry square was something feasible come true a few months before the placing on the Passport model. The company made the comeback of changing the design and instead of the classic candybar smartphones shaped circulating all, preferred the square plan, even explained itself BB that its movement is completely justified, because this unique design of the devices fit perfectly into productive users, with increased volume work commitments.

So there are plans for another square smartphone, the BlackBerry Oslo shown in renders, have obvious origins from the Passport, only that in this new model we have slightly more rounded corners and a different design on the speaker cover.

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra : Soon begins the upgrade to Lollipop

According to information  Sony Mobile, the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra will start to be upgraded to Android 5.0 Lollipop in the coming weeks. The Lollipop is already available for the Sony Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, and the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet in some countries.

New Aluminum-ion Battery Charges in one Minutes

We have come today to have in our mobile QHD screens and powerful processors, but the perennial problem called "battery" remains unresolved. Often see researchers to discover something new, but for now if we see any real progress in practice.

Scientists from Stanford University are working on a new innovation that could bring higher performance aluminum ion batteries that charge very quickly, are more economical and last longer.

Unlike lithium-ion batteries under what specific conditions can explode this battery Stanford University has no such risk.

The battery is made up of two electrodes, a cathode is positively charged and the other negatively charged anode aluminum. The battery combines an aluminum anode and a cathode of graphite, together with an ionic liquid electrolyte within a flexible "pouch."

The tests showed that the aluminum ion batteries have 7500 recharge cycles without losing any of their skills. Similarly, lithium batteries have approximately 1000 cycles. Given therefore the possibility to charge the battery in 1 minute, talking about very significant development.

Moreover, aluminum is cheaper than lithium, so the batteries are more economical while the fact that it is flexible and can allow for better development of flexible smartphones.

To say that yet road until you come to the market this technology, but it certainly is an important development.

HTC One M9+: Announcement to Europe

The HTC One M9 + officially announced yesterday in a press event held in China. Comes with a metal unibody design as the standard HTC One M9, but 5.2 inch display 1440 × 2560 pixels instead of screen 5 inch 1080p set the One M9.

The Google announces Android 5.1, available Factory Images

Google is after the official announcement of Android 5.1 made available the Factory Images's site (developer page) TO DOWNLOAD.

Of course the Nexus will first get the upgrade and will soon follow and GPE devices.

The Lollipop 5.1 is here and brings a host of new features such as better memory management, improved autonomy, new notification profile and silent modes, some changes in the quick settings, especially in tile of wifi, HD Voice and much more including physical improvements and bug fixes for better operation of the devices.

At present, the upgrade is only available on Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2012 (WiFi) and Nexus 10. Naturally soon be available for the rest of Nexus running Lollipop. And because as we get back all holders Nexus should have upgraded to the latest version of Android device to go and see how to do this.

The process is very simple and requires to enter bootloader mode and run the flash-all.sh (or flash-all.bat if you are in Windows). Of course this assumes you have installed the necessary tools (adb and fastboot), to have installed the necessary adb drivers and have unlocked the bootloader.

In Ubuntu course your life is clearly easier to adb drivers to be integrated into the Kernel so you do not have to do something yourself, but also the installation of the necessary tools to become a mandate. sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot I remind you that those who want to keep their userdata, can remove the parameter -w from the flash-all script.

Those who want upgrade through Factory Images by following the above procedure, otherwise wait for the OTA update will be available as always gradually in a few weeks. We however do not waste time flassarontas it to see whether and how improved the overall user experience.

The Nexus 7 2012 3G upgraded to Android 5.1

There seems to be no particular order in which Google upgrades to Android 5.1 to Nexus.

Many newer Nexus is still on the waiting list, the "old" but the Nexus 7 2012 3G, already upgraded to Android 5.1.

Physical stress that is pleasing that Google still upgrade a device that is "closed" in just the three years of existence. Let me remind you that the N7 2012 had begun life with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean -elave major updates to 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0- to arrive today in Android 5.1, passing naturally from many minor bugfix releases.

The upgraded Factory Image for the device went on the servers of Google and is available for download. Of course the flashing of the new version requires you to unlock the bootloader, and have installed the necessary -fastboot adb- and tools on your computer.

The Build Number of upgrading is LMY47D, the same set and Update of WiFi Only version.

Most of the Nexus upgraded to Lollipop, the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2012 WiFi, Nexus 7 2012 3G, Nexus Player and Nexus 10 have received the 5.1 Update, while the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2013 WiFi, Nexus 7 2013 4G and Nexus 9 are on Android 5.0.x.

One last point - Above proposal perhaps heard as "complaint". I feel infinitely better an update delayed for a month or two, but be careful, but given something untidy publicly.

Giefroot: The new Root method for series devices Xperia Z3 with locked Bootloader

Having one Android device in your hands, sooner or later you will want to do root, first to use applications that have the condition and secondly to upgrade your device with a custom ROM. Usually the first step is to unlock the bootloader, but for the Xperia devices, this would be disastrous because of the loss of keys DRM.

Although we have already seen one root method for the Xperia Z3, the Giefroot came to us do the work without unlocking the bootloader. So we have root in our device, while we can save and TA partition containing the DRM keys. A prerequisite unfortunately, is to have our older device firmware from October 2014 (before 23.0.A.2.93), but this may be changed, and it is also easy to find the * .ftf file and install via Flashtool .

Conditions

The method therefore works in Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact and to test it should have the following:

• On the "debug" the device
• Enabled "False Sites" (located under "Developer options")
• Established the ADB driver on our computer if you use Windows

The process

Follow the procedure at your own risk!

• Remove the file Giefroot and decompress it on our computer.
• We put our device in "Airplane mode" and connect to the computer.
• Run the file "install.bat" and follow the onscreen instructions.
• If the process fails fail ("Device not rooted") try a second time.

Admittedly it is a method with strange conditions (False Sites) but the result is worth it. Currently in second edition and can be downloaded from the thread at XDA.

Flashtool is the Ultimate Tool for Sony Xperia Device Owners

One of the biggest advantages acquired by the holder of a device of Sony, is the fact that many people deal with them and so there are many tools that will help him to save her if something goes wrong. As Samsung has the Odin and Heimdall, Sony has the Flashtool, a powerful tool with similar capabilities. His work Flashtool is basically install official firmware on devices of Sony, but has the potential to unlock the bootloader on devices that allow and do root. The files that need to be of the form Flashtool * .ftf (Flash Tool File) and can be removed from whole ROM to a kernel operates on Linux, Mac and Windows unlike Odin. In more detail and take them one by one, the most common way to do root in a Xperia device is through the installation of a rooted (or insecure) kernel. The kernel packed in files * .ftf which we will see later how easily be installed. As for unlocking the bootloader, can not do many things because the Sony devices have encrypted bootloader, but there is the official way. What is of value to the whole process is that Sony devices have a so-called "TA" partition containing all licenses for proprietary applications. Once you unlock the bootloader, the partition is deleted and so we can not now use these applications, so before doing anything we should do backup my TA partition. Third and best feature of Flashtool is to install the official firmware from Sony. We can help to return to official ROM, to correct our device from softbrick and do downgrade to an older version of Android because known upgrades Sony Xperia do crawl. So we will give an example of using Flashtool you would install an official firmware from Sony in a device with a locked bootloader.

What we need

Required for installation will attempt are:

the Flashtool, and

the official firmware from Sony for our device, which you can find in many pages as in XperiaFirmware.com and Flashtool.net.

The process

Follow the procedure at your own risk!

After you install the Flashtool go to folder

• "Firmwares" and delete everything.
• Take the official firmware if it is compressed and decompress until you see the file with extension * .ftf.
• Take the * .ftf file and store it in the folder "firmwares" of Flashtool.
• Run the Flashtool, select the button with the thunder and then the "Flashmode".
• We will display a new window to select the firmware you want to install, and if we only have a folder "firmwares" will show us just one.

So choose the firmware on the left, in the center we see the contents and on the right we check all options under the "Wipe".

In the "Exclude" tick "TA" if you do not want to midiagrafei the TA partition we said earlier in the "Misc" the "No Final Verification" and click "Flash".

The Flashtool will give us instructions on how to put our device in bootloader mode (by pressing the Back key or the Volume Down at the start) and will ask us to connect to our computer via USB.

Once done all this will start the installation which has just finished will make our device to reboot, meaning the end.

The same procedure applies to install any * .ftf file if you own Android device of Sony, you should at least know what it can do for you Flashtool. More information on the official page.

New All-In-One Tool does Root on Android One and other Devices

It officially the Android One devices not marketed in Greece, but that does not mean we can not get through Internet. There are also those that have similar characteristics as the MT6582 processor Mediatek, which guarantees compatibility ROM, recovery and other equipment between them.

So we have a new tool to take root in the series Android One and by extension to all devices with the MT6582, which has been created along the lines of All-in-One Toolkit we knew before. To remind the All-in-One Toolkit are automated methods of root, which exempt us from typing commands on the terminal, making the process easy and safe. This therefore can lock / unlock the bootloader, to establish a custom recovery or restore to stock in our device and of course to make root, with a few clicks on the computer.

To then use will need:

• a computer with the ADB driver device (Download)
• the file All-in-One Toolkit (Download)
• enabled the "USB debugging" in our device.

The process

Follow the procedure at your own risk!

• Remove the * .zip file toolkit and decompress it on our computer.
• Run the file "ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL.bat".
• Follow the instructions on the screen, giving numerical choices we want.
• We connect our device via USB to the computer.

For other MT6582 devices

If you have a device that bears the same processor but not the Android Series One, you can use the toolkit but with conditions:

Regarding the bootloader, is usually unlocked in the Chinese devices, but it does not matter if you try to unlock it, because the worst that can happen is to simply fail the command "adb oem unlock" that gives the tool.

If you want to install custom recovery, you can do it fearlessly if your device has the same screen size as the Android One phones. But you can find one recovery specifically for your device and save it in the folder of the toolkit, replacing the old.

As for the root, you will surely succeed if the custom recovery installed correctly.

This toolkit can be used end and Nexus devices, it suffices to replace the recovery files to their respective own. More information and updates can be found in the thread at XDA

We root the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge with CF Auto Root

No device from Samsung that has not escaped the Chainfire and Galaxy S6 / Edge is no exception. Renowned developer So already managed to give us the first mode root, via the known CF Auto Root.

The trial was the first models that could have in his hands, the SM-G920T and SM-G925T of T-Mobile and tells us he changes needed to make the code of CF Auto Root was minimal compared to the Old models of Samsung. This means that although the available packages do for the global models of the two devices (SM-G920 and SM-G925), however it is a matter of time to climb to the page.

To use it you need to have installed the driver from Samsung on our computer (just installing Kies) and then:

• we put our device into Download Mode and connect via USB to the computer,
• bring down the correct zip file for our model,
• decompress it on our computer,
• open the Odin inside the zip,
• select the file * .tar.md5 in place "PDA" and press "Start".

If all goes well, our device will reboot a few times and finally will contain between applications of the SuperSU.

You will find as always in the official page of CF Auto Root, where you should look for "SM-G920" (Galaxy S6) and "SM-G925" (Galaxy S6 Edge), it is worth noting that the safety of Knox affected by the process and there are doubts about whether it will now operate the new Samsung Pay, which is tied with him.

New Way to do the Root LG G2, G3, F60, L90 and G Flex 2 in Android 5.0 Lollipop

For those looking for a way to make root the LG Android device now that their upgraded or will be upgraded to Android 5.0 and have tried without success IOroot and Stump Root, reached a new method which is relatively easy even for beginners.

This is a script that runs once on our computer and it undertakes to send the correct files in the correct folders on the device, activating access in the root folder. Works on various devices from LG and theoretically all those running Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5.0 Lollipop, including G2, G3 and the new G Flex 2!

To use it successfully you must:

Download the script 

Installed the driver of LG (Download) to the computer if we use Windows,

Enabled the "debug" in our device.

From then follow carefully the instructions below:

Decompresses the script in our computer.

Connect via USB to our device to the computer.

We double click the file "LG Root Script.bat".

Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

Simple things and neatly. More information and updates can be found in the thread on XDA.

Root Nexus Player with Android 5.1

While Android triumph in our Google the mobile presented recently the Nexus Player, the first formal attempt to conquer and our televisions. This media player with Android TV but that can turn a common TV SmartTV, not much different from other Android devices, so we can make the root and to capitalize on the benefits that we offer to "unlock" the device.

The method has been written for three different firmware and is in the form of script, that just run on our Windows PC and follow the simple on-screen instructions to finish. You also need to have installed the ADB driver device and have it connected via USB of course in our computer. To get started, download from the following link into your computer, unzip it and run the file "root-boot.bat".

Download Links
Firmware LMY47D
Firmware LRX21V
Firmware LRX21M 

The truth is that there are no custom ROM so far for the Nexus Player, so the root will need mainly to exploit applications that require administrative privileges to run. So it is better to first find if there are applications that need them and then proceed to root, but still very easy to return to the default form of the device.

The LG introduces a new UX 4.0

The LGElectronics (LG) today unveiled the new MobileUserInterface (operating environment), LGUX 4.0, which will be implemented for the first time in the upcoming LGG4 to be unveiled at the end of this month. An enhanced user experience promises greater ease and comfort and will understand and will even better meet the unique needs of each user.

The functions 'QuickMemo' and 'QSlide' were presented for the first time in the smartphone "OptimusG" to 2012, but the LGsynechizei improve the UX on each flagship GSeries.

So far, improvements in UXginontan towards enhanced convenience for all users. Instead, the new LGUX 4.0, there was a stronger basis to provide optimum, but also simultaneously customized solutions for more comfort to any user of any level separately for the ultimate enjoyment of the LG device.

Simpler and more manageable

Initially, LG has created a more simplified graphical interface and also more user-friendly functions, eliminating unnecessary steps needed to configure and activate them. For example, the new function 'QuickShot' now allows users to take photos even faster, with a soft double-tapping the "Smart Back Button» (RearKey) phone, even when the monitor is in standby mode. Also, the enhanced function 'SmartBulletin' automatically aggregates the most important results from different applications on a single page for even more convenience.

Greater range of specialist options

The new UX 4.0 gives users even more options, based on the preferences and interests. The new camera offers three different functions - Simple, Basickai Manual - to respond better to each type of photographer, from amateurs to the most experienced photo enthusiasts. The function 'SimpleMode', ideal for amateurs, does all the complicated process automatically while running 'ManualMode' features a number of settings and options for ultimate creative control, able to impress even a more experienced photographer.

Calendar, which has also been revamped, offers more options, giving users the ability to select and incorporate this independent events that 'climb' in SocialMedia by other users with simple 'draganddrop' in 'Rendezvous'.

Even more Smart 'UXpou understands user

The renewed operation 'SmartNotice' in LGUX 4.0 promises to provide more personalized features for weather, travel and more issues, analyzing the daily routine of the user and its program, and combining this information with their daily routine. A user, for example, enjoyed games outdoors, it may take a notice informing that "The weather is perfect to play a basketball game out."

Another example of improved adaptation of LGUX 4.0 lies in operation 'Gallery', which can now be created separately album for every occasion, depending on the place and time that each photo was taken. The clever adaptation extends to settings of audio mode incoming calls' RingtoneID ', which can now automatically compose a ringing tone for each incoming call from those included in the list of "Favorite Contacts' user.

"The new LGUX 4.0 provides simpler, faster and more intuitive ways to use the G4, with new and enhanced features that can respond 'intelligently' to the needs of each individual user," said JunoCho, President and CEOtis LGElectronicsMobileCommunicationsCompany. "Our efforts to better understand our customers' needs are ongoing, so we can offer correspondingly more and more innovations for a better life, based on our humanistic approach."

Is this the best lock on Android?

A new lock mode included the Google's latest update of Google Play Services and none other than the "On body detection smart lock".

Of course, as the name suggests, the specific blocking understand when our mobile phone is in contact with our body and locked accordingly.

Specifically, this system uses the accelerometer of our device to occupy when located in the pocket or our palm and not requesting pin-pattern to unlock. In this way, of course, we are able to use our device more quickly as we would if we had a smartwatch to us.

Of course, when touching our device on a flat surface (a table), the device will realize that it is no longer used and will lock itself. In any case, if the time you use your smartphone we give it to someone else to hold it in his hand, then it will not be so able to understand that it was not used by the owner with the result that locks your data remain exposed.

Currently, this feature seems to be only available on devices with Android 5.0 and above, this does not mean that Google will not provide for earlier versions of the operating -alloste not announced anything officially from the company-after anyway as we have said before, she wont be upgrading its services to many devices often without software upgrade required.

As always, this upgrade will be made available progressively to users of devices with the nexus precede and other devices to follow. Naturally impatient can flassaroun the Google Play Services directly from here.

About CyanongeMod 12.1: Progress, devices and applications

I can not deny that the CyanogenMod remains my favorite ROM on my Nexus and the code remains the foundation on which I personally experiments and changes.

Today the group company sheds light on the intention to develop CM12.1 (based on Android 5.1), but inform us and generally for the ROM.

Google has spent the Android 5.1 before about three weeks, and up to this week staged renewed revision of Factory Images for Nexus with some more corrections and changes. All these changes are incorporated slowly to a new branch of the CM (staging / cm-12.1). The first "official" CM 12.1 Nightlies expected in about a week.

Positive official is that new devices, eg the Moto E (2014), Moto G (2014), gained official support from the CM, and do not rely on unofficial builds. Also positive is that even some devices that already had the official support of the CM, but were in Android 4.4-based CM11, acquired their first CM12 builds (eg Xperia L). Of course the average user might wait more firmly the first M-builds of CM12.1.

Kerasaki the cake that now most applications of CM have accepted facelift following the Guidelines of Material Design, but that usability has expanded to support both Android Wear wherever possible (eg CM Messaging app).

What should be Next Nexus 2015

Android is directly connected to the Nexus series as each version is made on these devices.

With the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 to let me have mixed feelings about this -More below-, I want to refer to my wishlist for 2015.

Price and manufacturers of Nexus devices

Before we get to 2015, will come back in January 2010, the release of the first Smartphone series Nexus, the Nexus One. Made in collaboration with HTC, released by Price $ 530 and ran the (then) brand new version of Android, 2.1 Eclair. In December 2010 followed the Nexus S manufactured by Samsung, which also released the $ 530. A year later, in November 2011 launched the Galaxy Nexus by Samsung again with price $ 649 to American providers. To 2012 it manufactured by LG Nexus 4, reserve a pleasant surprise in the technology space: at just $ 300. In 2013 continued the same pattern with LG to give the Nexus 5 again at cost price, $ 350.

Respectively and the Nexus Tablets that period (except the Samsung N10), N7 2012 and N7 2013 (manufactured by Asus) had excellent performance-price ratio, asking $ 199 and $ 229 respectively.

This led us to believe that the series Nexus will continue to be billed and seamlessly in the future. Especially when we started to hear rumors of a Nexus manufactured by Motorola, which had built the Moto E and Moto G which gave a price .. "soil". Yet.

In 2014 we saw the Motorola Nexus 6 to cost $ 649 while the HTC Nexus 9 399 $, which spoil the very performance-price ratio.

And here comes a very important point: that the low price of Nexus 4, 5, 7 (2012) and 7 (2013) gave the card "Get out of jail" every time someone wanted to compare them with other devices. A card that had the Nexus 6 and 9 to use their weaknesses.

It is possible for the high price of N9 and N9 "fault" Motorola and HTC respectively, or if you want on the other hand, for the low price of N4 / N5 and N7 to "thank" the LG and Asus respectively. And get the issue to the manufacturer of the next Nexus.

If only LG and Asus managed to give tablets with good value for money, then let's reconstruct and Nexus 2015. Similarly, I am also very positive to find another manufacturer (eg Huawei) that can efarmosei particularly aggressive pricing policy.

nexus one

The SoCs the next Nexus Smartphones and Tablets

I definitely some of SoC Qualcomm. And do not say this because they have amazing ads. Just all other SoCs other enterprises (TI OMAP, Samsung Exynos, Nvidia Tegra) used in Nexus, created their "problems".

Such problems include the delay-or canceled their teleios- upgrades.

About software Nexus why

The Nexus is the first devices upgraded, since each new version of Android made on them.

Previously I wrote an article about the "negative" of the Nexus. Most of the points I have mentioned and were related to software, have ceased to exist, since it seems Google with the .. heard and corrected in Android 5.0. I am given opportunity to comment but eg for Nexus 7 2012, which was released with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and today, about three years after its release, runs the latest version of Android (5.1) having officially received 5 "major" upgrades (4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1). Unfortunately there is not a "standard" that all Nexus will be upgraded (for example) three years after their release, or eg that will take 5 big updates, simply certainly seems intent of Google to provide (more) upgrades for the longer feasible.

To conclude the issue of software, to mention that the only factor that moment I miss the Vanilla Android and want to incorporate the Android 6.0, is a realization MultiWindow. Yes, I know, with Xposed and xfloating window or corresponding modules, or some Custom ROMs can I corresponding usability. But I want to incorporate the Android 6.0 to the use and the average user -which would obviously respect and all Android 6.0 appliances.

Instead epilogue

Every Android-er at some stage must obtain a Nexus to test the user experience they offer. I'm not saying that necessarily will satisfy him, but it certainly is something worth trying.

New Innovative Application for Smartphones with a View to Safer Driving

AXA innovates once again and creates the new application "AXA Drive" for smartphones, aiming to improve driving behavior.

The application offers all drivers the ability to measure, assess and ultimately improve the way they drive, protecting themselves and those around them.

By means of applying AXA Drive every driver can:

1) Analyze the routes and identify the points to be improved (eg signs with intense braking or sudden changes in the course).

2) read tips on driving behavior.

3) gradually improve the level of driving.

4) share the results with other drivers with the help of social networks.

Before starting their journey, drivers activate the CSA Drive and this during the movement analyzes the acceleration, braking and course changes. At the end assess all driving produces a score and displays a map of the main points that need improvement.

In this simple way, the CSA Drive will be an objective "passenger" who will help each driver getting better day by day how leading.

Interested parties may:

a) Find a greater detail in video created by the CSA on YouTube.

b) Scan the QR Code, or visit your local electronic store App Store or Google Play to download free on devices with iOS software or Android.

axa-drive

The new application AXA Drive is the second application that AXA creates for safe driving, continuing in this way its commitment to:

i) Investing in prevention and education to reduce insurance risk.

ii) Maximize utilization of electronic media.

iii) Innovation at all levels of the company operation.

Quick Charger - Good or Bad

"Fashion" in the last two years has been the use of rapid charging process Sure offer usability but ultimately what are the positives and negatives and - how to use them;

First, to clarify that many of the common users, they would not need fast chargers if they had activated task killers and would be able to make a full day of use charging the phone at night with a conventional charger! We have explained in the past how quickly exhausted our battery because of them.

You will say "ok again the battery does not reach me now;". Initially it is good to remember that fast charging is not all devices support but only those that have corresponding mode built into their SOCs (Snapdragon 800-801-805 etc.). Therefore, the use of a very fast charger will not make any difference in charging time of simple devices, barely adversely affect the reliability of the battery.

In any case you should select chargers with the features offered by the manufacturer of your device so that you are covered in each case. If your device supports turbocharging technology, it is prudent in my view chargers not far exceed 2A since after the loss ratio of temperature is more than the benefits. I certainly synithizo I use a charger 0.5 A night to charge the nexus my 5 after the slow charging maximizes autonomy - battery life.

What if I run out on the street without energy; The TP-Link has a solution since this power bank as we have said in the past is very safe and the ports 1 and 2 A and 10400 mah covers all the needs of a heavy user. Attention then in choosing a (courier) charger it can eventually damage the device instead of improving the usability.

Sony: Prepares Mid-Range Phablet with Screen 6 inches (Rumors)

In June 2013, Sony took a risk, pioneered and perhaps showed the largest smartphone / phablet market, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra with the huge screen of the diagonal of touching the 6.44 inches. Revisiting some data today, it seems that the Japanese company will prepare a slightly smaller screen device with 6 inches but not with high-end features.

Moreover, a recent written report from DigiTimes says the known manufacturer has already developed a device with a screen diagonal of 6 inches in order to present a phablet middle class. It seems that now, Sony focuses on mid- and high- end smartphones and not the entry level. An initial assessment may give the impression that perhaps we are dealing with the successor of Xperia T2 Ultra.

The site DigiTimes reports in the same publication that Sony has put the bar higher for 2015: The goal is to reach 38 million sales for the current year, ie from April to March 2016. A large number, however, in fact it is a small "dip" to the wishes of Sony, as the previous year's forecasts, according to rumors, was in 39.2 million devices.

And of course we are anxious to see this September the new Sony Xperia Z4 made a first appearance in GFXBench, but officially we will see early next autumn.
