Microsoft smartphones with 1 week of battery life!
Microsoft is looking to change the idea of having to charge
our smart devices multiple times a day as the company believes that battery
technology is usually ignored unlike other components.
The software giant has put forward an idea of making
innovations in battery tech so that smartphones and tablets are able to deliver
a full week of charge. Microsoft's Senior Researcher in the Mobility &
Networking Research Group at Microsoft Research, Ranveer Chandra amazed
everyone with the idea at MIT Technology Review's Digital Summit in San
Francisco.
Mr. Chandra said that current devices are forcing users to
charge these devices every night while some unfortunate users have to charge
their smartphones multiple times a day. He says that Microsoft aims to change
that as it is looking to change the way how smart devices use power. As
smartphones and tablets are becoming more powerful, battery technology has
majorly stayed untouched.This has to be tackled.
As told by Chandra,one of the ideas that Microsoft is
working on at the summit is the one in which two smaller batteries would be
used in a device instead of a single large one. While one battery handles
powerful processes such as gaming, the other would power the phone with enough
juice to manage the background processes when idle. Such prototypes have been
reported to increase battery life by 20 to 50 percent.
Microsoft is also working on a project called E-Loupe which
monitors resource-demanding apps, slowing them down when the program predicts
that it is appropriate to do so. The research team at Microsoft is also working
on tool for developers which will help them predict how much power-hungry their
apps are. This can help them optimize their apps accordingly which would
enhance battery life on devices.
Even though the 1-week battery backup idea seems quite
unlikely for now, LG has already shown tremendous improvement in optimizing
battery usage in its devices like LG G2 and G3. Smartphone like the LG G3 was
expected to kill battery life due to its huge 5.5-inch Quad HD display. But the
Korean company surprised everyone with the battery performance on its flagship
smartphone by introducing a new technology called 3A and according to tests at PhoneArena, it has delivered.
The "A" in the name of this technology means
"Adaptive" while the number "3" signifies the number of
functions in the technology such as adaptive frame rate, adaptive clocking and
adaptive timing control. Experts believe that this technology helps LG G3's battery
last as long as a device with 1080p display resolution.
How LG has succeeded in this technology is dropping
framerate to 30fps whenever the activity on the smartphone's display is none.
The adaptive clocking and timing control affect the processor by under-clocking
it whenever the full use of the processor is not needed.
We could have seen better results if LG had used such
technology in the previous flagship smartphone like LG G2 which features a Full
HD display.
Hopefully Microsoft will also be able to come out with such
technology soon so that our smartphones can give similar battery performances
as mobile phones used to when they weren't "smart".
Android 5.0 to be announced by Google soon
Release date of Android 5.0 is yet to be
announced by Google,but it is most likely that the company will release it at
the I/O 2014 conference and might name it Lollipop
(though the name is not official yet).
At present, all the devices in the Google Play Store have their
clocks set at 4:40 which points to the current version of KitKat. Two weeks time
is remaining for the Google I/O
conference, so it could mean that we will witness the release of Android 5.0 at
the end of this month. Other important announcements expected at the Google I/O
includes Android TV and might also focus on the Android Wear.
In the past, Google has used the following clock times for its
various Android releases in the past:
Gingerbread (Nexus S): 2:30
Honeycomb (Moto XOOM): 3:00
Icecream Sandwich (Galaxy Nexus): 4:00
KitKat (Nexus 5): 4:4
Honeycomb (Moto XOOM): 3:00
Icecream Sandwich (Galaxy Nexus): 4:00
KitKat (Nexus 5): 4:4
Everyone’s waiting for timing this year.
Issue of some non-functioning non-working Moto G smartphone resolved
Over the
last couple of days, the issue of some non-working Moto G smartphones was discovered.
Motorola Mobility said it has resolved this issue and apologized for what it
called was a “one-off error”. Motorola’s retail partner Flipkart offered a
monetary credit and a full refund if a customer wished to replace the faulty
handsets.
Motorola
(US based smartphone maker) had informed customers over the last two days that
some of its best-selling Moto G handsets shipped into India did not have
registered and verified International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers,
which rendered the devices useless. An IMEI is a 15-digit unique code that
helps cellular networks to identify valid phones. It is the unique identity
number of each device, which is used to track it when stolen or misplaced.
The devices
with IMEI numbers beginning from 3533 and that with 16 GB memory versions were most
likely facing connectivity issues. This came out when Motorola communicated with
some of its customers who were facing problems. "This particular issue is
now resolved and the affected Moto G devices have been registered with all
network operators. All impacted customers can activate their phones
immediately," a Motorola Mobility spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Motorola
said that as a goodwill gesture to those affected,the popular e-commerce
website Flipkart - the handset maker's exclusive retail partner - has credited
Rs 1200 into Flipkart wallets or accounts of impacted customers for any
purchase. That apart, Motorola has offered to replace the faulty handset or
fully refund customers who did not wish to wait for a replacement.These steps
were taken as an apology for the glitch.
The
number of complaints received or the number of devices that were replaced or
cases in which it refunded customer’s money were not revealed by neither
Motorola and Flipkart. India is
the most critical geography for Motorola, where the smartphone market continues
to be one of the top growing ones and is expected to cross 80 million units by
end of the year.
The
company's international come back started with the Moto G launch in India last
year and it strengthened its position in the consumer's mind with the global
launch of Moto E here, which has been sold out since it was put on sale on
Flipkart.com. The US-based company had wrapped up operations in India in August
2012, but has chosen the online-only strategy on its come back into the India
market since late 2013.
Motorola
Mobility, which is in the transition phase of being transferred to Lenovo from
Google, said that verification of IMEI numbers with Indian mobile operators was
carried out at the back-end. It added that the problem emerged in a single
batch due to a 'one off error' and that "measures have been taken
internally that can't be disclosed."
Analysts
are divided on the impact of this situation on Motorola with some of the view
that it may create a chink in the company's online-only strategy with others
highlighting that the incident was a small one-off.
"It's
good that Motorola acted proactively and offered either to exchange the devices
or refund the money which would help them pacify the consumers to certain
extent," said Gartner's principal analyst Vishal Tripathi. "But
somewhere, this situation will shake consumer's confidence and would impact a
bit of brand value".
A
Delhi-based industry watcher said that despite having a retail presence only
online, the device maker has offline service centers and a call centre for
resolving any issue faced by its customers.
"The
company has taken responsibility and owned up immediately. Moreover, such a
problem occurs very rarely and it's a small issue," the person said.

Nokia to be renamed as ‘Microsoft Mobile’
Rumor is in the air that Nokia is going to change its name, there is a leaked official, Microsoft
email stating that once the software giant (Microsoft) completes its
acquisition over Nokia; it will rename its mobile division to ‘Microsoft
Mobile’. Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7.2 billion last year in September.
As reported, the leaked email was sent by Microsoft to its
suppliers and was acquired by the Nokia Power User blog. The email mentioned
about the name change and Microsoft’s attempts to assure suppliers of its
quality and honor its commitments even after the acquisition.
The actual lines of the email were:
“Please note that upon the close of the transaction between
Microsoft and Nokia, the name of Nokia Corporation/Nokia Oy will change to Microsoft
Mobile Microsoft.Microsoft Mobile Oy is the legal entity name that should be used for
VAT IDs and for the issuance of invoices.”
Nokia is a Finnish company .Its name ‘Nokia’ was first established
in 1871 after the city where it was incorporated. In the beginning, the company
made wood pulp and rubber. In 1967, a separate division was established that
manufactured telecommunications equipment. But after facing losses in sales and
profits due to increased competition from other companies like Samsung and Apple;
Nokia was acquired by Microsoft in September 2013.And so Nokia’s products were
realigned to focus on Microsoft’s new mobile operating system, i.e. Windows
Phone.
If the rumor about the official email comes out to be true,
then we can expect the name change to go live by the end of this month in U.S.
and in many European countries. Although in India, Microsoft’s Nokia
acquisition is facing problems due to tax dispute. The dispute is over the
government’s claim that Nokia owes between $650 million and $3.4 billion in
unpaid taxes. The government said that it will only allow for the transfer of
Nokia’s manufacturing plant in Chennai to Microsoft after the taxes has been paid.
The plant will be important to Microsoft since it is one of Nokia’s most
valuable global assets and employs over 8,000 people who make up to 25% of the
workforce that Microsoft will gain from Nokia because of the acquisition.
In India, Nokia has attained a great level of goodwill and
trust among the consumers in the past. And thus it is likely that Microsoft may
not be able to get immediate positive outcomes here after the name change. So,
if the software giant wants to maintain and grow Nokia’s considerable market
share in India then it has to spend a lot of money on marketing and public
awareness(especially in low priced mobile segment).
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Update Features Highlights
As windows 8 is getting Update from Microsoft to tackle all the shortcomings of window 8. The is Update is packaged in Windows 8.1, which is already rolled out and available to download via Window update option on Windows 8 system. Here in this article we are showing some of the key feature of Windows 8.1. Microsoft is basically focuses on the UI and touch feature of the OS. Also with App integration feature now user is able to use and develop more more Apps.
Windows 8.1 features
The latest operating system by Microsoft i.e. Windows 8.1, has been out for a while now.
Here are some of its features with details that it supports:
1. Direct boot to desktop
Windows 8.1 directly boots to your desktop. (Although, it still has the start menu.)And you can change these settings if you want to see the modern UI (start screen) when you boot your system.
2. Modern UI applications can be pinned to taskbar
You can now see both desktop and modern applications together as these applications can now be pinned to the start bar of the desktop. Also, you can see a preview when you hover over the pinned applications on the taskbar.
Taskbar can also be accessed while using metro applications. You just need to move your mouse pointer towards the lower-end of the screen.
3. The charms menu and the application switcher
Charms menu are present to make some shortcuts available in an easier and faster way. Mouse pointer was hovered around the corners, known as ‘hot corners’ to get access. But sometimes an unintentional hover towards the corners made menus to pop that was irritating at times.
Windows 8.1 has reduced this to some extent by taking a bit more time to trigger the charms menu and the application bar when you hover around the corners with the mouse pointer.
4. Right click context menus in start screen
This one is a major change. With Windows 8.1 you can now right click tiles in the start screen to access a context menu that offers various options (just like in desktop).
5. Title bar for modern applications
A title bar has been provided for the modern applications which gives you access to various options like splitting, minimizing and closing the applications. This title bar can be accessed by moving your mouse pointer to the top of the screen. (Note that the close button on the top-right only suspends the program. It does not close it.)
6. Better start screen
Many of you might have had problems with finding the power off button and power search button. This was tackled in Windows 8.1.Now, you can find a power button and search button to the top of start screen, next to user’s name and avatar.
7. Default applications are now desktop applications
Modern applications that were used as default applications even in the desktop mode made no sense and were quite irritating.
In the updated version, now the default applications set to launch are desktop applications. It is good for non-touch based devices.
After going through the new features, you might want to update your windows as it’s for free and does not require you to take a backup and install. You simply update, restart and it’s done. Windows 8.1 is more usable operating system for non-touch devices.
