It was declared about creation of the tablet and smartphone with the unique user interface. And if some smartphones nevertheless got on the market, the tablet not became closer to public. Fortunately, this can change after the future MWC 2016 exhibition which will take place at the end of February in Barcelona. By hearsay, engineers and designers of Canonical at last could create something suitable for the mass market.<br />

It is claimed that the Spanish company BQ, with which Canonical already had good relations, will be engaged in production. BQ released two Ubuntu devises: Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition and Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition. BQ Ubuntu Tablet or Aquaris X10 will get the 64-bit <a href="http://eeephone.ru/alis.php?s=MT8163">MT8163</a> quad-core processor, 10-inch Full HD screen, 2 GB of RAM and 7280 mAh battery. Recently Canonical worked on support X11 in mobile version of OS. That will allow to run any graphic software from Ubuntu repository. Besides, it is already known that the next version of Ubuntu Touch will be constructed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS OS which will be released on April 21.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most of modern TVs, which even isn't possessing a prefix "smart" in the name, have connection support of television dongle on Android operating system, which significantly extends functionality of TVs. It is curious that similar process can be made with the smartphone. Thanks to special microUSB-receivers which are connected to the Android-smartphone. It make possible a watching television on the screen of phone or the tablet without connection to the Internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Modern receivers for mobile devices have the extremely compact sizes and practically don't influence device weight. The classical extender for the smartphone supports DVB-T and DVB-T2, working in the range of frequencies of 48,25 ~ 863,25 MHz. Such devices don't exceed a matchbox size and have 7,5-10 grams weigh.<br />

However, in 2016 we wish to receive something is more modern and have wider set of functions. For example, <a href="http://eeephone.ru/alis.php?s=32484780202">MyGica PT360</a> allows to record video, make rewind, read the electronic program guide, keep in memory favourite channels for fast and convenient connection and many other things. It is important to remember, for the correct work, device is requires Android 4.1 or is newer and USB OTG support.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
By the way, <a href="http://eeephone.ru/alis.php?s=32473754053">TV receivers with the external antenna</a> can significantly improve quality of the image. On the one hand, such improvements remind the first China smartphones which were the extremely popular a few years ago. Length of the external attached antenna can reach to 8", however this doesn't influence on the weight of the module.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The majority of widespread models possess standard a set of options. TV receivers for Android smartphones support the DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards (MPEG2 and H.264). Their work depends from the software, without which tuner not usefull. Fortunately, large producers published firmware programs which are rather convenient in use. The interface of such programs reminds a videoplayer with extended functions. At the first connection the receiver will suggest to specify or will define automatically your location, and then will scan available frequencies for definition of channels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkkTdLzTJozPOvOkFwAMQsyIdR8Ibq8jof2S7C4PYNtL5eFWu7ko25jR-ybACorMiB44o7fFcq7lMn9rRO9pBvnnM_ekVxVGU0usbn9NC1y8KEeJXce_HU8H3iQ7bYNXL3fDKraSHwCQhh/s1600/DVB3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkkTdLzTJozPOvOkFwAMQsyIdR8Ibq8jof2S7C4PYNtL5eFWu7ko25jR-ybACorMiB44o7fFcq7lMn9rRO9pBvnnM_ekVxVGU0usbn9NC1y8KEeJXce_HU8H3iQ7bYNXL3fDKraSHwCQhh/s320/DVB3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In spite of the fact that TV receivers for smartphones seem a rudiment against modern technologies, this category of devices recently again becomes quite popular. They have low cost, simplicity of use and much more quality in comparison with predecessors. First of all such device will be estimated by those, who often happens on the way or outdoors, and also works outside the city. Choice on market is presented for every <a href="http://eeephone.ru/alis.php?s=android%20tv%20tuner%20dvb%25252dt2.html?">taste and a purse</a>.</div>

<h2>
SSD tuning</h2>
All I did here was to add noatime for the mount command. In my opinion it’s a game of diminishing returns, with increasing risk of problems, to implement all the special SSD performance enhancing tricks you may find various places on the net. The noatime flag however is worth it, as it disables the writing of a new value in the file access time/date field <i>every</i> time a file is accessed. This feature is rarely used, and as files are accessed a lot turning this off saves a lot of small writes to the SSD that wears the drive unecessarily and probably slow things down:<br />
<pre>$ sudo nano /etc/fstab</pre>
then add <code>",noatime"</code> in options for the / mount. Reboot and try <code>mount</code> to verify that / is mounted with noatime option:<br />
<pre>$ mount
/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
(...)
</pre>
<h2>
Increasing trackpoint speed</h2>
The trackpoint is one of my favorite navigational devices for laptops. But it must be set to a pretty high speed to work well for me. If you simply increase the general mouse speed it will also affect the touchpad and external mouse speeds. It has to be done at the trackpoint driver level. I couldn’t find the settings in any GUI config, but it is possible to adjust by command line:<br />
1. Experiment with the speed / sensivity values with:<br />
<pre>$ echo -n 80 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed
$ echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity
</pre>
2. To make the favorite settings permanent, create a <code>/etc/udev/rules.d/trackpoint.rules</code> file containing:<br />
<pre>SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", WAIT_FOR="/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity", ATTR{sensitivity}="250", ATTR{speed}="80"
</pre>
3. Reboot or use the following to load the new settings:<br />
<pre>$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
$ sudo udevadm trigger
</pre>
<h2>
Improving fan control</h2>
The built-in hardware fan control has a tendency to ramp up to ~4000 RPM and stay there, which is quite audible and not at all necessary. I managed to implement a custom temperature regulation (use at your own risk!) with the thinkfan tool:<br />
1. Install required packages<br />
<pre>$ sudo apt-get install lm-sensors thinkfan
</pre>
Run <code>sensors</code> once and let the tool configure the sensors.<br />
2. Enable software fan control by creating file <code>/etc/modprobe.d/thinkfan.conf</code> containing:<br />
<pre>options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
</pre>
3. Create or edit <code>/etc/thinkfan.conf</code> to select the right sensors and fan speed rules. This is what I use:<br />
<pre>sensor /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input (0)
sensor /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input (0)
sensor /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp3_input (0)
sensor /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input (0)
(0, 0, 40)
(1, 35, 45)
(2, 40, 51)
(3, 42, 53)
(4, 46, 60)
(5, 53, 66)
(7, 60, 72)
(127, 70, 32767)
</pre>
4. I prefer to run the thinkfan tool with 5 seconds poll interval (-s 5) and no “exaggeration” on rising temperature (-b 0). I installed the tool as an upstart service by creating <code>/etc/init/thinkfanservice.conf</code> containing:<br />
<pre>exec /usr/sbin/thinkfan -s 5 -b 0.0 -q -n
respawn
start on runlevel [2]
</pre>
5. Check status / start / stop of service with:<br />
<pre>sudo initctl status thinkfanservice
sudo initctl start thinkfanservice
sudo initctl stop thinkfanservice
</pre>
You can test the current temperatures and fan speed with the sensors command:<br />
<pre>$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +38.0°C (crit = +97.0°C)
thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1: 1973 RPM
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +42.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +42.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +39.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
</pre>
<h2>
Battery life optimization</h2>
I managed to tweak battery life to a pretty respectable typical 5 hours. This is what I did:<br />
1. Bluetooth radio default off. I don’t use bluetooth and don’t want to manually turn it off all the time. This is the only way I found to reliably turn it off after boot, in a way where you can still turn it on using the tray icon: <br />
Edit <code>/etc/rc.local</code> and add:<br />
<pre>rfkill block bluetooth
</pre>
2. Install power mode changing script. This script sets a lot of hardware settings depending on AC / battery power state. Create file <code>/etc/pm/power.d/power</code> with execution rights containing:<br />
<pre>#!/bin/sh
# Shell script to reduce energy consumption when running battery. Place
# it in /etc/pm/power.d/ and give execution rights.
if on_ac_power; then

A DUAL SCREEN tablet will be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show by NEC, following its November release of the single display Cloud Communicator Lifetouch.
The dual-screen tablet also comes under the Cloud Communicator Lifetouch banner and both tablets use an unspecified Android operating system, and have 7-inch LCD touchscreens, 3G and WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity plus a stylus for pen input.
NEC also says that the dual-screen tablet will do "multi-tasking, with the ability to run different programs on each LCD screen", which it claims is an industry first.
The apps for the Cloud Communicators can be found at the Andronavi online store. The fact that NEC has felt the need to use a third party store tells us two things, (a), that the tablets' OS won't be the highly anticipated tablet friendly Honeycomb, and (b), neither Communicator will have a phone function.
Where tablets are also phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab, they have access to Google's Android marketplace, but if the device is not a phone it is not compatible with Android apps.Googloidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16437168619689461537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782380950070446075.post-79531145886056437432010-12-23T13:25:00.000-08:002010-12-23T13:30:49.422-08:00Google Nexus SThe Nexus S specifications of a Samsung Cortex A8 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of NAND flash storage, a 4-inch Super AMOLED 480x800 WVGA capacitive touchscreen, a 5MP camera and a 1,500mAh battery with a weight of 129g sound good, but they are not a million miles beyond the Nexus One.
The Nexus One specifications were a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of NAND flash storage, a 3.7-inch 480x800 capacitive touchscreen, a 5MP auto-focus LED flash camera, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth, and a 1,400mAh battery, all wrapped up in 130g. So while the display and battery are both slightly larger and the display is now Super AMOLED, the only real performance enhancing difference between them is the huge leap in storage.
What the newer processor and larger display do provide is a very smooth user interface and fast browsing. The fifth version of Android, Gingerbread 2.3 has the now familiar set of homepages that can be swiped between, and the apps page. Browsing is fast, as fast as Windows Phone 7, which is pretty fast, and Youtube looks and sounds good on the Nexus S.
Like other handsets the 4-inch display delivers a much more comfortable Internet experience, especially in landscape mode, and it makes pinch to zoom less susceptible to uncommanded actions. For web browsing, a 4-inch display should really be seen as a minimum.
Despite the smoother user interface, the increased memory probably has more to do with support for Flash 10.1 and the adoption of the voice action feature. Both of these are bound to be computationally demanding, Flash being particularly renowned for its CPU intensive nature.
So how does voice action fair? Not that great, as even in a quiet office environment the voice recognition doesn't always work. Asking the handset to call Incisive Media found it floundering with suggestions that had the word media in them but none were accurate. How tough is the word "incisive"?
The big shock came when I looked for the FM radio. It's a pretty standard feature on handsets. The LG Optimus One, a lower spec Android handset, has an FM radio but the more capable Nexus S smartphone does not. However, if you don't mind paying for a hefty data allowance there are plenty of Internet radio apps, 1,050 according to Android Marketplace.
Finally, Google makes the claim that the curved display makes it more comfortable to use, but that wasn't The INQUIRER's experience. It wasn't any easier on the ear than any flat-screen handset.
Launched a few months after the Nexus One was cancelled, the Nexus S is very similar in its specifications to its predecessor and could really be seen as just a small improvement over it. The name Nexus S, instead of Nexus Two, is probably a way of leaving the bad press of the first phone behind, as might be the choice of a Samsung handset instead of the HTC Bravo that was used for Nexus One.
With the voice actions feature providing real product differentiation, when it works, and sales and customer service handed over to people that know what they're doing, such as Carphone Warehouse, the Nexus S could be the success that everyone expected the Nexus One would be.

Practically this means that while <span style="font-weight:bold;">HTC</span> Droid, Incredible and <span style="font-weight:bold;">EVO 4G</span> owners wait for an official Froyo update, LG is belting out a new range of smartphones with the latest Android goodness.
The <span style="font-weight:bold;">LG Optimus</span> Series of 10 smartphones will start appearing in the second half of this year. The Optimus One and Optimus Chic will both ship first with Android 2.2 onboard.
LG says that the Optimus One is your bog standard Android smartphone, but the Optimus Chic is designed for fashion aficionados with its "tasteful design incorporating soft and smooth lines."
LG will also be introducing its first tablet device later this year. The company claims its tablet running the Android OS will "manage vastly superior performance" than other similar devices while being thinner and lighter.Googloidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16437168619689461537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782380950070446075.post-6417923394268734022010-07-03T14:26:00.000-07:002010-07-03T14:28:50.998-07:00HTC upgrades its Hero smartphoneUsers of <span style="font-weight:bold;">HTC Hero</span> smartphones, who have been waiting for ages for an update to Android 2.1, are finally starting to download it like a mad thing.<br>
The Taiwanese mobile phone maker has started an over the air rollout of the update that will bring the phone out of an Android dark ages into a 2.1 renaissance.<br>
HTC confirmed that it started rolling out the Android 2.1 OS yesterday and that the update is available for Hero phones in Europe. However users should back up their data as this second part of the update will wipe their handsets. The updates first part started rolling out weeks ago.<br>
For now only unlocked handsets are able to get the update. Network operators in the UK that offer the handset, T-Mobile, which calls it the G2 Touch, and Orange that doesn't, expect to offer the update in the near future.<br>
Pictures of an update availability notification message screen circulating on the interweb shows that a download file for the Android 2.1 update is 80MB big. HTC has recommended that users use a WiFi connection to download the updates for 2.1 because of their size.<br>
If you don't want to wait for UK networks to bother to offer the upgrade then there is always the option of getting an O2 contract for the Desire that comes with 2.1.<br>
So far we have not had any word from readers as to how they like the HTC Hero update, so we are hoping that some of you will post below.<br>
UPDATE: The 3 network has told The INQUIRER that its over the air update for its HTC Hero users to upgrade to the Android 2.1 OS is planned for July.Googloidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16437168619689461537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782380950070446075.post-13618135803512872010-06-28T09:34:00.000-07:002010-06-28T09:40:52.791-07:00Intel will ship x86 Android 2.2 this summer<span style="font-weight:bold;">Intel</span> is going to ship a native x86 version of the Linux-based Android 2.2 operating system for use on netbooks and tablets.
Renee James, Intel's SVP for software and services, told APC that she expects developers will get the opportunity to play with it this summer.<br>
It's an important step that will have Microsoft looking nervously over its shoulder, as it will see Google's mobile OS, already very popular on smartphones, moving to the PC standard x86 architecture.<br>
Android was originally built to run on ARM chips in smartphones, but <span style="font-weight:bold;">Intel</span> has been beavering away at adapting Android's open source code to run as a native x86 operating system. This makes sense, as it will allow Intel's partners to use its Atom processor for Android-based devices.
It might deal a blow to ARM chip designs already seen on smartphones and other small devices.<br>
So far <span style="font-weight:bold;">Microsoft</span> has dominated the netbook market based on Intel's Atom processor, while Android has mainly focused on ARM processor-based smartphones. But getting an x86 version of Android 2.2, code named 'Froyo', might help Intel's Atom chips make inroads into the smartbook market, and possibly even enter the smartphone market as well.<br>
As The INQUIRER revealed at Computex, Intel and Google are already working on a Atom-based smartphone that will run on a yet to be identified release of Android.

While 10.1 has been released for proper computers the makers of the handheld variety have only just been given the tools for their OS. Today Google, Symbian, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Meego, LiMo and Palm all got what they need to make it happen.
Android phones will likely get 10.1 before those with Windows phones because Adobe is only working to make it compatible with Windows Phone 7, the release date for which is unknown. However a Flash Beta 3 update is on the Android Market and the full release will be available via an over the air update. Available that is for users that have upgraded to Android 2.2, which is expected later this year.
Devices supporting 2.2 and so Flash 10.1 are expected to include the Dell Streak, Google Nexus One, HTC's Evo, Incredible and Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S. Flash Player 10.1 for mobiles has been redesigned to optimise it for power management, CPU use, multi-touch screens, zooming and auto-switching screen orientation. Adobe says, "The...rendering feature ensures that Flash content is running only when it becomes visible...reducing CPU and battery consumption. Flash automatically slows down when the device [is in] screen saver mode.Googloidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16437168619689461537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782380950070446075.post-1652714018432205272010-06-20T10:53:00.000-07:002010-06-20T10:55:41.819-07:00HTC's Android 2.1 update will wipe your dataBACKUP YOUR DATA because the second of two HTC Hero updates to upgrade the phone to Android 2.1 will wipe the handset, says its manufacturer.
The first update to bring Android 2.1, also known as Éclair, to the Hero is underway with a second and final update to take place before the end of this month. Only once that is downloaded and installed will the phone have the Android 2.1 OS.
This second update is so large that HTC said, "we would advise using a WiFi connection for this download to avoid additional data charges." The updates, detected when Hero automatically checks for software updates, will be pushed to users' phones and they will be asked to accept the over the air change.
Users of HTC's Desire and Droid Incredible models and its future Evo 4G and MyTouch slide products might be offered updates to Android 2.2, Froyo. HTC intends to announce a full list of updates for Froyo later this year with the updates expected to take place before year end.Googloidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16437168619689461537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782380950070446075.post-37526857211002273842009-10-01T10:15:00.001-07:002009-10-01T10:15:22.517-07:00There was new competitor Sony PSP.The conceptual device Hardkernel ODROID, presented to rather near past, should arrive in online sale at the very beginning of November, but today it is already possible to issue the advanced order on it.

The official release is expected to come at a press event on Friday, September 25th, with the device based largely on, if not simply a rebadged version of, the Rockchip Android-powered MID concept spotted last month.
The device will sport an ARM chip and is said to be capable of playing back 1080p MKV (H.264/VC-1), AVI (XviD/DivX), and other video formats with 30-40Mbps bitrates. Visually, the Rockchip concept and the Ramos device look identical, but the former was said to use the Rockchip RK2808 chipset, which is said to have support only for 720p videos.

He has underlined, that first will be presented Android-phones working on hardware platforms Intel and Qualcomm, and portable computers will be release later.
In spite of the fact that the operational system is financially more accessible to developers, the amount of accessible software products still is not enough, that is a barrier to small suppliers of the personal computer, has noted Chen.

As the company does not hurry up anywhere, therefore performance of such problem can occupy time. Despite it, such phone from Sony Ericsson can will appear on sale much earlier, than it seems.
Representatives of the company declare, that job over phone goes, but it will be already intended for operational system Android of the second generation - Android 2.0.
It is especially interesting, that company Google, the developer of this operational system while a uniform word has not mentioned about Android 2.0 for mobile phones. Now the decision is known under code name Donut. It is supposed, that the same user interface, as on <b>HTC Hero</b> (also known as <b>Rosie</b>) will be used here. Everything, that at present is known about the new version of a platform, it that it will be equipped by much bigger multimedia functionality, than previous.
Policy Sony Ericsson is now that, that the company does not wish to be limited to several operational systems for phones which will leave in the future. At present it is phones from OS Symbian and Windows Mobile.

But nevertheless there is a small probability, that it will be made nevertheless, as the director of firm Skyhook Ted Morgan has casually let out it in the interview.
This firm is engaged in working out navigating under Windows Mobile, and, according to Ted, Sony Ericsson already asked him to write the program for Xperia X2. But for that moment the contract has not been signed, as SE was not defined yet, what OS to him to choose - Windows Mobile or Google Android.

Company Samsung is going to to release phones with platform Android in June?
Can seem, that developers Android have started up this hearing when there was nothing more interesting, but we believe, that we will soon see, how, at least, one more manufacturer will apply this operational system in phones! Possibly, on a place of such company it can appear Samsung if to believe hearings, that they have three phones on platform Android which should appear in Europe till the end of this year, and the first of them should be presented in June.
2. Whether there can be phone S8000 the first?
