A billion people in the world lack access to all-season roads. Could the structure of the internet provide a model for how to reach them? Andreas Raptopoulos of Matternet thinks so. He introduces a new type of transportation system that uses electric autonomous flying machines to deliver medicine, food, goods and supplies wherever they are needed.

Leaked document shows when certain Samsung models will get the Android 4.4 update
A leaked Samsung document allegedly shows off the expected time frame during which certain models will be receiving the Android 4.4 update. The devices in question are the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500), Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900), Samsung Galaxy S III (GT-I9300) and the Samsung GALAXY Note II (SM-N7100).

If the document is genuine, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be updated to Android 4.4 in January 2014. The Galaxy S III and the GALAXY Note III will each be updated sometime in the March-April 2014 time frame. Carrier branded models will take longer since each operator will need to test the update for each device. Android 4.4 will make each model smoother and more responsive with Project Svelte, the successor to Jelly Bean's Project Butter.

As usual, with such a high-profile rumor, we suggest you cast a cynical eye on the story.

7.     View your recent locations on the map
a.     You can view a map of your most recently visited areas by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services (scroll all the way down to see System Services) > Frequent Locations
b.     When this is on, you can view your location history on a map.
8.     Add to your wish list
a.     There may be times when you’ll come across an app of interest, but may not want to install it immediately. The App Store now includes a wish list, allowing you to save apps to be downloaded at a time of your choosing.
b.     To add an app to your wish list:
                                               i.     Tap the Share icon at the top
                                             ii.     Tap the Add to Wish List icon
9.     Built in level

                                               i.     Open the Compass app
                                             ii.     Swipe left
10.  Open a music or podcast app
a.     While listening to music or a podcast, you can control playback in Control Center. However, there are times when you want to return to the app that’s handling playback, which you can quickly access from Control Center by tapping the song’s/podcast’s title.
11.  FaceTime audio call
a.     FaceTime now has its own app in iOS 7, which is something all iPad owners should be familiar with. Something completely new, however, is FaceTime Audio calls, which functions in the same manner as a traditional phone call. If you have the option between the two, though, I recommend FaceTime Audio calls because the call quality is outstanding.
b.     To initiate a FaceTime Audio call:
                                               i.     Tap the phone icon under the FaceTime section
                                             ii.     Ask Siri to make a FaceTime Audio call (e.g. “FaceTime Audio Mom”)
12.  Bold Text

                                             ii.     Tap General

14.  Kill Apps

                                             ii.     Flick an app’s preview card upward
15.  Turn off the parallax effect
a.     To turn off the effect:
                                               i.     Open the Settings app
                                             ii.     Tap General
                                            iii.     Tap Accessibility
                                            iv.     Tap Reduce Motion
                                              v.     Turn off Reduce Motion
16.  Turn On/Off AirDrop
a.     AirDrop is a great new feature that allows you to easily share almost anything with other iOS 7 users. In order to send or receive something, you first need to turn on the feature.
b.     To turn on AirDrop:
                                               i.     Open Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen
                                             ii.     Tap AirDrop
c.     Tap either Contacts Only (i.e. you will only be seen by individuals in your contacts) or Everyone (i.e. you will be seen by anyone that also has AirDrop turned on).
17.  Walking Directions
a.     Walking directions was somewhat of a hidden feature in iOS 6, but is now more prominent in iOS 7. When you enter an address or search for a location, Maps will automatically provide walking directions if a route is available and the location is deemed within walking distance.
b.     To force walking directions:
                                               i.     Tap the arrow icon next to the search field
                                             ii.     Tap the walking pedestrian icon at the top
18.  Display Full Name in Messages
a.     If you prefer full names:
                                               i.     Open the Settings app
                                             ii.     Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
                                            iii.     Tap Short Name
                                            iv.     Turn off Short Name
19.  Display Sent Received Time Within Messages
a.     Sent and received times were very limited in iOS 6, as they merely displayed the start time of a conversation. In iOS 7, you can view the sent/received times for each message by swiping left from anywhere within the chat history.
20.  Block Phone Numbers
a.     The block call feature can be turned on in the Phone app’s Contacts or Recents view.
b.     To block a number:
                                               i.     Tap the information icon next to the number you wish to block
                                             ii.     Scroll down
c.     Tap “Block this Caller”

The Best Video Chat Application for Android

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar



Video chat on smartphones has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time, and the tools available for Android have matured from gimmicky to genuinely useful. You have a lot of great options, but we think that Google Hangouts deserves the crown for the overall best and most well-integrated method to see and talk with friends.
It's been a while since we updated this post, and in the time since we last selected Skype as our favorite video chat application for Android, the arena has shifted entirely. Lots of people went from not using their phones for video chat or video calls at all to having a best-in-class tool built in that they use on the reg. Here's our new favorite pick, along with where the competition stands today.

 

Google Hangouts

Platform: Android (and others)
Price: Free
Download Page

Features

  • Places video calls to desktop and other mobile devices over 3G/4G and Wi-Fi
  • Supports group video calls with up to 10 other people
  • Synchronizes your Hangouts and their history across devices so you can see what you talked about in the past, and review shared photos, links, or other media
  • All video calls to other users are free (excluding data charges)
  • Supports front and rear-facing cameras
  • Supports calls to mobile and landline numbers via Google Voice (or right through Hangouts in iOS)
  • Supports bluetooth and wired headsets for audio
  • Supports chat, SMS, MMS, group SMS and MMS, video and picture sharing, animated GIFs, emoji, and more
  • Supports location sharing
  • Integrates with Google+


Where It Excels





Google Hangouts (formerly Google Talk on mobile devices, and just a web-based video chatting service inside of Google+) has exploded in the past few years it's been around to take the lead among free, web-based and mobile video chat services. It dominated our poll for best video chat service, and the fact that it's essentially rolled in to Android and easily available on iOS makes it easy to get, simple to set up (since all it requires is a Google account), and easy to start using. In many ways, in a few short years Google Hangouts has combined the best things about Google Talk with some of the best things about Google Voice into one application that—while it's not perfect—is hard not to love, or at least use frequently. 

It also doesn't hurt that Google Hangouts is completely free. Video hangouts, chats, picture and video sharing, all of it is completely free from the desktop or from your mobile devices, so you don't need to waste limited text or MMS messages from your carrier to communicate with your friends. Just drop your images or your messages into Hangouts, and your friends will get them instantly. They can even see when you're reading their messages, and you can see when they're typing. Still, all of that is great, but video chat is where Hangouts really takes the cake. In iOS and Android, Hangouts supports virtually every device and version, and you have the option of using your front or rear-facing camera in your video chat at any time. 

Since video chats can be held with up to 10 people, you can communicate with large groups and collaborate on files (although this is much better on the desktop), or you can just turn an impromptu conversation into one that's much more personal since you can see the other person's face. Plus, it works like a charm on 3G/4G or Wi-Fi, regardless of the device you're using.


Where It Falls Short

Hangouts is great, but it's not perfect. It's often prone to glitches and strange quirks that can make it work seamlessly one day and then just fail to stay connected or work properly the next. I've seen mobile users with gorgeous camera quality on week, then the next week their cameras look like someone shattered the lens—but if they flip to the rear camera, it looks fine. Plus, Hangouts is very much a work in progress for Google, so if you're looking for an app that won't change a ton between now and the next time you need to use it, Hangouts may not be your best choice. It won't change so much as to be unrecognizable, but Google's iteration process isn't exactly slow, and they've been updating Hangouts regularly with new features, tweaks, and changes designed to improve the product (but could also be a thorn in some users' sides). 
Similarly, if you're looking for a product with robust customer support and the option to get fast and attentive help when you do have a problem, Hangouts isn't that product. After all, most of Google's products are free, and Google Groups does have a wealth of experts and enthusiasts willing to help you out, but there's no one to call if you have an issue or question you desperately need answered.


The Competition


Skype (Free), our previous favorite, is still a more than strong contender. Its user-base is still massive, it's cross-platform and cross-device, and it offers a wealth of tools that let you talk to people face-to-face or via IM, all on your Android phone. It's free to talk to other Skype members, and to video chat with them, but once you start calling landlines and talking to people's phones, you're looking at a few bucks, although nothing serious. However, the days of Skype being pre-installed on most people's Android phones as a video chat option are over, as more people move to Hangouts instead. That doesn't mean Skype isn't worth looking into—it just means it's another great option to have around in case Hangouts doesn't work for you for some reason, or you're talking to someone on the desktop who prefers to use it (or you're calling a friend's TV or something).

Fring (Free) is still a strong alternative to the big names. It supports group video chat, it's cross-platform, it allows you to register with your mobile phone number instead of forcing you into another account you may or may not use, and it also supports free texting, picture and video messaging, and cheap calls to landline phones. It's not quite as feature-packed as the others, but it does focus on the core basics.

Tango (Free) has grown exponentially since we last talked about it. It supports video calls to other Tango users on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Windows desktops. Tango lets you place regular voice calls and switch to video calls when you want to share something, and supports text, picture, and video sharing—not to mention audio sharing via Spotify. Video call quality could be better and doesn't seem to have improved terribly much as cameras have improved, but it's definitely serviceable.

Oovoo (Free) offered great video quality in our tests, but you do have to be an Oovoo user to really make the most from the app. That could be a good thing, since a lot of people prefer Oovoo on the desktop (or at least, did a while ago), but the mobile experience is solid too, even with group chat running and a bunch of people talking at once. It doesn't hurt that their app is gorgeous too, with a beautiful design, a speed dial for video chatting your best friends, status messages so you can see if people are available before you ping them, support for picture and video messaging, and the ability to pull in contacts from Gmail, Facebook, and other services you probably already use.

Lifehacker's App Directory is a new and growing directory of recommendations for the best applications and tools in a number of given categories

How to change the settings on Samsung Galaxy S-Voice

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Galaxy S 4: Change Settings on S-Voice

S-Voice is a voice app on your Galaxy S 4 that can help you dictate and perform other useful functions. As shown in this figure, you can change many settings on S-Voice. Here are a couple options explained.

image0.jpg
The first is to change the wake-up command. The default is “Hi, Galaxy.” Boring. You can change it to any phrase with four or more syllables.
You may as well have some fun with this. S-Voice is your servant. You can name it anything, such as the name of your former gym teacher, a cheating partner, or the love of your life who got away. You get to call it what you want and tell it what to do. There is no one judging you.

Follow the directions in Set Wake-Up Command. It takes you to a new screen and asks you to record your voice saying what you want as your new wake-up command.
Another option you have is on the primary S-Voice screen shown in the figure. Click the following icon (found at the bottom of the primary S-Voice screen) to turn off the female voice that talks back to you. If you do so, you only see typed responses to you questions and requests.

image1.jpg
Some people are annoyed at being talked to by a computer. If you are among that crowd, just let her know that you prefer silence by tapping that icon.
