OnePlus One might get price cut in June 2015

OnePlus One was launched In the year 2014, OnePlus has made a big splash with its One smartphone. It created a buzz because it had features that other flagship smartphones offer for almost half the cost. Now it is expected that the company will come out with a bigger surprise with the launch of its successor.

The new smartphone will be called OnePlus Two. Also the company has been teasing the launch date of the device as June 1. Though we are excited to see what the company has in store for us next. A fresh report is suggesting that the price of OnePlus One might be revised on June 1.

This report also adds, currently, that come Monday, and the price of OnePlus One will be reduced by $50. Currently the 64GB variant of OnePlus One is retailing at $348 but people might be able to get it for $298 post the cut and the 16GB variant's new price will be $248.

However, the report maintains that so far there will be no change the India pricing of the OnePlus One, which will be rather sad. Considering that India is a price-sensitive market, the company has been passing on all the discounts and price cuts. So, we are hoping that sooner or later we might also get to see a revision in the price of OnePlus One but it may not be equivalent to $50.

Google launched Password manager called Smart Lock for its Android and Chrome

While the Google I/O is going on, Google does not mentioned anything related to Password manager in its keynote session, but Google has launched a password manager for Android & Chrome named Smart Lock to keep Passwords, we found it on Google's developer page in Google Identity Platform.

As per Google users will be able to Sign-in into Android Apps & websites within Chrome with hassle free manner & user will get Signed-in to all devices automatically. This will also help user to save their credentials into Smart Lock & once it is save they no longer required to enter their credentials to login to Android app or in Chrome website once the user is logged in.

This will help user to keep their password safe & risk of forgetting password will also come down, this will only work with trusted apps or sites. Netflix, The New York Times, Instacard, Orbitz and Evenbrite are some of the services that will support the feature. Unlike password managers like LastPass, the system will not work with all app and developers will need to integrate the features through Google's API.

This feature will be part of Google Play service 7.5 that means user will not have to wait for the release of Android M to use it,

Beware Android users..Factory reset won't erase all personal data

Android is the no. 1 Mobile operating system in the world & If you are one of the android lover who frequently buy and sell Android smartphone or review a different one every few weeks, it's likely that you're leaving traces of personal data even if you use the phone's factory reset feature, before passing on the phone to someone else.

According to a new study titled 'Security Analysis of Android Factory Resets' by Cambridge University, Android's factory reset option does not let you get rid of all your personal data. As part of the study, researchers tested 21 smartphones made by five different device makers running Android 2.3 to 4.3.

They found that all devices retained a part of the users' old data which included SMS, e-mails, pictures and videos and contact information from third party apps such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

What's more worrying was that this data was accessible even if full-disk encryption was used. Also, in most smartphones, researchers were even able to get access to the master token to access the user's Google data.

The study estimates that about 500 million Android phones are at risk.

Remotely lock your Android Device using Android Device Manager

As per Google's last update Google was expected to update its own tracking service, known as Android Device Manager with the remote locking feature. The newest security option is now available on the Android Device Manager dashboard and you can remotely lock your smartphone from the web interface.

The update will be added automatically to the Google Settings app and you need to enable the “allow remote lock and factory reset” option to be able to use it from the web interface.The newest feature allows you to lock your smartphone with a new password that changes any previous screen unlock setting. Of course, you can reset the password once you find your lost or stolen Android device.

Sony Xperia C heading to India as Evidence suggests

The Xperia C (S39h, C2305) has so far only seen a China launch, but ever since the phone was announced there was always the feeling that it would hit other select markets. Rumours of an Indian launch have been around for a while and judging by a listing on Sony India it seems a certainty it will hit the region.
Sony India is currently offering six months worth of Accidental Damage Cover for its premium phones. We first reported on this when the Xperia Z1 was launched in India, but didn’t know which other phones it would apply to. 
Well according to the T&C’s, this new promotion will apply to a number of devices bought on or after 15 September 2013. This includes the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia SP and Xperia C.
Yes, Sony India has included the Xperia C in this promotion which pretty much confirms it will be heading to India at some point. It is believed that the phone will retail for under INR 20,000 and launch in early October. We’ll bring you firm information once we have it.
The Sony Xperia C is the first Xperia device to sport a Mediatek MTK6589 chipset (1.2 GHz quad-core processor and IMG SGX544 graphics), 1GB RAM, 4GB internal storage, dual SIM, 5-inch qHD display, 2330mAh battery, 8MP Exmor R camera and VGA front-facing camera.

1st Impression: Sony Xperia Z1

The Xperia Z1 - the best smartphone, the most stellar pictures.
The Sony Xperia Z1 has now been out for a few days, enough of a time to get a view on Sony’s new flagship. We want to hear from owners of the handset – let us know what you love about the handset and what you don’t. How much does it improve on your last handset? What concerns do you have, is it a keeper? We’d love to hear your honest thoughts below. Also, check out a few unboxing videos of the Xperia Z1. 

Tips & Tricks: 25 Tips for Sony Xperia Z


The Xperia Z is Sony's flagship smart phone for 2013 and arguably the best phone we've seen so far this year. As well as being waterproof and having a gorgeous 5-inch 1080p screen, it has a selection of Xperia-specific features.
Here's CNET's run-down of how to get the best from this elegant Android powerhouse.

1. Importing contacts and email settings

You'll need a Google account to purchase apps from the Google Play app store. Log in and contacts associated with that account will be recognised on the Xperia Z.

2. Install Sony's file transfer manager

PC Companion is Sony's USB file transfer manager, letting you easily move photos, video and more from your computer to your phone, including stuff from your old phone. It can be used to import contacts from your computer too. Tap the Contacts app on the home screen and you'll be offered PC Companion as an import option.

3. Share contacts using NFC

NFC stands for near-field communication, and is another close-range radio tech, a bit like Bluetooth. You can share contacts -- and music and photos -- with friends just by touching your NFC-enabled phones against each other (the Nokia's Lumia phones, such as the 620, can do this too). Enable NFC content sharing in the Settings > Wireless and Networks > Moremenu. When the phone vibrates, tap the onscreen message that says 'touch to beam'.

4. Manage battery life

The Xperia Z has a gorgeous screen, but it's a battery-zapper. In Settings > Display set the screen to go into Sleep mode after 30 seconds or less. You could also turn off the Bravia screen optimiser and disable the auto-lighting adjustment feature in the Settings > Screen brightness menu. In the Developer options you can also adjust the screen rendering to require less processor power. 

5. Manage mobile data settings

For a more stringent battery-saving regime, activate the Stamina mode in the Settings > Power Management options. This will switch off mobile data when the screen is in Sleep mode. As an alternative, low battery mode lets you select whether Bluetooth, mobile connections, Wi-Fi and auto-sync should become inactive when the battery levels drop below 20 per cent. [pic: Xperia Z 5.png]

6. Manage your apps

Use the dropdown preference list above the apps screen to switch between recently installed, alphabetical list, most-used or your own order. In Settings > Storage there's a list view of all installed apps, plus all those currently running. Click on an app and choose Stop to switch it off. 

7. Call up a legion of little helpers

What Sony calls 'small apps' are a bit like the simple onscreen widgets in Windows 7 or the Dashboard on a Mac. Calculator, timer and voice commands can be accessed by clicking the overlapping photos icon at the bottom right of the screen. Use the + option to install more, such as media remote control tools. [pic: Xperia Z 7.png]

8. Boost your storage

The Xperia Z has 16GB of internal storage, but you can supplement this with a microSD card. The phone takes up to 32GB microSD cards -- available online for as little as £15 -- taking the total storage to 48GB. Offload photos, files and videos by going to Settings > Storage. SelectTransfer to SD card.

9. Archive photos and free up more storage

Use the Dropbox Android app to automatically archive your smart phone's snaps. Dropbox'sCamera Uploads folder stores photos taken on your Android smart phone when you're connected to Wi-Fi. You can then then delete them from your phone.

10. Backup options

Google servers offer a simple backup option. Go to Settings > Backup & Restore and tick theBack up my data option. Your ebooks, apps and digital magazines will be backed up, along with your photos and music.

11. Edit documents

Mobisoft Office6 is preinstalled on the Xperia Z and is useful for working on documents when you're out and about. It's a cinch to log in to your Google Drive, SkyDrive, SugarSync or Dropbox account, then pull down Word or Excel documents to work on. 

12. Setting up visual voicemail

Verizon is offering visual voicemail to US Xperia users, while O2 and EE in the UK now give iPhones 5 users the service. There's no word yet about it coming to the Xperia Z here, but we wouldn't bet against it. In the meantime, try the HulloMail app for advanced voicemail management.

13. Tethering your phone using NFC

The Z's preinstalled Xperia Link software lets you provide tethered Web access to an Xperia tablet or other Xperia smart phone. Launch Xperia Link and the Xperia Z's camera will be activated. This is because it's searching for a keen-to-be-tethered device displaying a QR code. Scan this with your phone to make the connection.

14. Tethering without NFC

Bluetooth and USB can also be used to tether your phone. Click on your Xperia Z's device name in the Bluetooth menu to make it visible, and ensure the other device is also discoverable. Click the option at the bottom of the Xperia screen to search for Bluetooth devices and tap on the device you want to pair with. Check the passcodes match, and connect. You also need to check in the Tethering & Portable Hotspot menu that Bluetooth tethering is selected.

15. Push phone content to your TV

NFC can also be used to mirror video content on your TV. Go to Settings > Xperia > Mirroringand have the phone search for the suitably NFC-enabled device. Unfortunately, so far it only works with the Sony Bravia TV with NFC that the company demoed at CES. For any other device you need to use the Settings > Throw feature. It uses the widely supported DLNA tech and your Wi-Fi connection to push video and music to your TV or speakers.

16. Setting up your phone as a remote control

The Media Remote app is not installed by default, but there's a link to the Play Store app so you can easily retrieve it. It works with DLNA-compliant devices such as Sony Bravia TVs and Blu-ray players. Use it to switch TV channels, skip through scenes in a Blu-ray film and browse programmes stored on your PVR. 

17. Send music to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct can both be used for media sharing. Ensure Bluetooth is active in the Z's Settings menu and that it's visible to all nearby devices (not just those with which it's already paired). NFC-enabled accessories are in the pipeline. When these launch, you'll be able to connect your headphones and speakers this way and instantly switch output options.

18. Automate frequently used actions

Smart Connect initiates a preset action when you plug in headphones or a charger at a set time of the day. Options include switching data traffic on or off, connecting to a Bluetooth speaker and playing music through it, and sending a custom text message. Paired devices can be controlled using Smart Connect too. Buddy up with your Sony Tablet S, for example, and the Xperia can mirror content to it.

19. How to use Xperia Smart Tags

Xperia Smart Tags are coloured discs used to trigger preset actions. So when you get home, your 3G data could be switched off as you know Wi-Fi is available. Set up a tag by placing it on the back of your Xperia Z phone, and selecting an action. Put the tag somewhere logical, such as by your front door or next to your bed, so you'll pass that location with your phone and trigger the changes to the phone settings. Tags cost £13 for four. The app is free to download from Google Play.

20. Taking photos in challenging conditions

The autofocus on the Xperia Z is effective, and anti-shake is also active by default. For moving subjects, try using the Sports scene option or Burst mode so you take multiple shots -- that'll give you a better chance of taking at least one good one. Use the light metering tools to help overcome poor light conditions. In the image above left, the sharp autofocus means there's little glare, while in the middle image, the macro mode is able to resolve the pattern of my jumper.

21. Taking underwater photos and video

The Xperia Z is waterproof, which theoretically means it can be used underwater for photography or video. Our putative attempts at an homage to Steve Zissou (above right) proved less than convincing. For the best results, use the video option and start recording before you take the plunge -- the touchscreen isn't especially responsive underwater.

22. Creating panoramas

Panoramas are easy-peasy. Open the Xperia Z's camera, tap the yellow i-camera option and select Sweep Panorama. Follow the onscreen lead and pan at the pace the moving lozenge dictates. To change panning orientation tap the panorama arrow icon and select your preferred direction.

23. Take a photo while capturing video

In Video Camera mode, you can change the resolution, set the self-timer for 2 or 10 seconds and select scene modes. Choose the Quick Launch > Launch and capture option to enable photo capture while recording video. The camera shutter button will remain onscreen as you shoot video footage. Tap this when you're ready to take a still shot.

24. Editing your photos and videos

Vignettes, lomo, sepia, black and white, and documentary effects can be added, as can particular colour or scene effects and image crops. Tap the bar at the extreme top right of a photo and choose Edit photo. Videos can simply have custom output options. Turn on location settings to have geo-tagging information automatically added to your shots. Bear in mind there's no option to add it afterwards.

25. Sharing your photos and videos


Photos and videos can be shared too. Click the Share button for standard Messaging, Facebook and Twitter options, but if you tap See all, you can share via Bluetooth, Picasa, Google+, Gmail or Notes too.

Oppo announced N1 - 5.9' with 13MP rotating camera and CyanogenMod support

Oppo has now formally announced its new high-end Android smartphone, the N1. The device comes with a number of “firsts”, the most intriguing being a rotating camera. It is also the first phone to officially support CyanogenMod, after the project went commercial last week.

A quick look at the specifications shows that the smartphone comes with a 5.9-inch 1080p IPS display. Internally, the smartphone comes with a quad-core Snapdragon 600 SoC clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of RAM as well as 16GB or 32GB of internal memory. The smartphone will come packing a massive 3610mAh battery. 

The USP of the N1 is the rotating camera. The 13MP camera with CMOS sensor and f/2.0 aperture is impressive in itself, but there's a specially-designed Fujitsu IPS imaging chip. The camera has a 6-piece lens design, which Oppo says is the first of its kind on Android. The entire camera rotates 206 degrees allowing it to act as a front-facing camera as well. Oppo says the rotation has been tested 100,000 times and this means you can swivel it 40 times a day for 7 years. There's a dual-mode flash as well designed to work for front and back shots.
Oppo has now unveiled the N1 smartphone
Oppo has now unveiled the N1 smartphone


The smartphone also comes with “O Click”, a Bluetooth accessory that can be attached in a keyring and can be used to take pictures remotely or sound an alarm if you can't find a phone. The N1 has a touch panel on the back, which allows users to perform various tasks with some gestures. This includes taking a selfie with a tap on the back.

There is still not much word about how the optional CyanogenMod support will work, but the device, by default, will support Oppo’s Color OS, based on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, featuring 410 design 'improvements' over Google’s vanilla UI. In terms of connectivity, the smartphone is said to come with quadband GSM and pentaband HSPA+ support, so LTE support is missing for now.

There is, unfortunately, no word on there being any plans of launching the phone in other parts of the world. So far, the Oppo N1 is slated for an October launch in China.

Here’s a quick look at the specifications of the Oppo N1:
  • 5.9-inch full HD display, 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 377 ppi pixel density
  • USB OTG, 5G Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, GPS
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 13-megapixel sensor with dedicated ISP with Dual-mode LED
  • 16GB, 32 GB internal memory variants

BlackBerry holds global rollout of BBM for Android & iOS


The much anticipated release of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Android and iOS hit a roadblock on Saturday, with the company saying it is pausing the first ever rollout of the popular messaging app to third-party platforms.
Having announced that BlackBerry Messenger would be available for Android on Saturday and iPhone on Sunday, there was huge anticipation for the impending release of the application on Google's mobile platform on Saturday. However, that never materialised, as the official build of BlackBerry Messenger for Android never hit Google Play Store, though a leaked build was seen floating around.
This leaked build obviously got circulated quite a bit, with BlackBerry revealing over 1.1 million active users within 8 hours. The company blamed this leaked build for "issues", which it "attempted to address throughout the day".
While the iOS version of the app did hit Apple's App Store in some countries in the Eastern Hemisphere early hours of Sunday, BlackBerry has now paused further rollout of the app in other countries, and even pulled the app from countries it did release in.
Users who managed to install the iOS version of BlackBerry Messenger before it was pulled will be able to continue using the app. However, BlackBerry revealed it is disabling the leaked Android build, so anyone who got their hands on the unofficial build is out of luck.
BlackBerry did give an exact date on when BlackBerry Messenger for Android will be available again, but it did say that continued rollout for iOS and a 'staggered' rollout for Android will begin "as soon as we are able." Whether that means a couple of days, weeks, or months, is anyone's guess.

BBM is now available for iOS, for Android to arrive shortly

The hotly anticipated BlackBerry Messenger for iOS is finally official. The app is currently available for download in the App Store.
The BBM for iOS comes with instant chat feature which allows you to know when your messages are delivered and read, as well as show when your contacts are responding. Naturally, emoticons can be added to the conversation too.
With the newest instant messenger for iOS, you can chat and share things with many at once. You can also share voice notes, photos and URLs using the BlackBerry Messenger. The app also allows you to personalize your profiles using images, including GIFs.
Just like the native app on the BlackBerry OS, the iOS version too requires PIN/QR for invites. The feature gives you control over how you are contacted.

Flipkart updates its Android app with new UI

Flipkart has finally launched a native Android app. The e-commerce site earlier had its mobile shopping site packaged as an app. The interface is pretty decent and Flipkart has tried to offer a similar feel as its desktop site.

The interface lets users navigate through all product categories under “Shop by Departments” which shows fashion & accessories, electronics & appliances, books & entertainment, and kids & baby care. Users can swipe across the screen to view the other categories. An icon on the upper left corner shows all the categories in the form of a list. Users can filter searches and sort products depending upon popularity, price, brand, discounts and relevance too. The homepage also shows some big discounts and what’s "selling hot" on Flipkart.




Users can filter searches and sort products depending upon popularity, price, brand, discounts and relevance too. The app lets users zoom into images with support for pinch and zoom gesture. However, this feature didn’t work efficiently for us on the Galaxy Nexus. The app also shows ratings and reviews for products. It allows users to buy products on-the-go, by retaining almost all payment options such as COD, credit/debit cards, EMIs and NetBanking from the web version. In addition to this, users can also track their shipping orders directly from the smartphone.

One can directly share links to interesting products with friends through SMS, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other services. The app also supports voice search and barcode scanning. The 3.02MB file installs quickly, and asks for a list of permissions ranging from use of camera to access storage. The app can be downloaded from the 
Google Play store.

Google's Quickoffice app now free for Android and iOS

quickoffice-free.jpg
Google has made Quickoffice mobile app free for both Android and iOS users, following Apple's announcement to offer its iWork apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote free to people who buy new iOS devices.

The Quickoffice suite allows viewing, editing and creation of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, and allows users to store them on Google Drive, Google's cloud storage solution.

It's interesting to note that after acquiring Quickoffice in June 2012, Google had made the iPad version of the app free for its Google Apps for Business customers in December. Earlier this year, itextended the same perk to Android users and made the iPad app compatible with the iPhone.

However, starting today all iOS and Android users will be able to download and use Quickoffice, free of charge. Google has also announced that if users sign in to their Google Account from the new Quickoffice app for Android or iOS by September 26, 2013, they'll get an extra 10GB of Google Drive storage for two years, which will be added to their account in the next few weeks.

It's interesting to see mobile Office suites taking each other on. With the announcement of the new iPhones, Apple had made its iWork suite which also lets users create, edit and view presentations, documents and spreadsheets, free for new users. The apps are offered when users activate their new iPhones or iPads running iOS 7. The iWork apps are also integrated with iCloud, Apple's own cloud storage and sync solution.

Ironically, Microsoft's Office apps, which were launched for both Android and iPhone are offered as a free download but an Office 365 subscription is required to use them. The apps also offer the ability to sync documents to Microsoft's Skydrive cloud service. It's worth pointing out that the apps don't work on the Apple iPad or Android tablets in the interest of Windows tablets which showcase Office as one of their key USPs.

Android 4.4 KitKat to release in October

It looks like Android's latest iteration will see the light of day in October, as Nestle has revealed the first news about the launch of Android 4.4 KitKat on Facebook.
While replying to a user who asked "When Android 4.4 KitKat will be available", Nestle's German KitKat Facebook handle replied "Android 4.4 KitKat is available from October" (Google translation).
While this might not be an official confirmation about Android 4.4 KitKat's release, at least the German Nestle Facebook handle was kind enough to confirm that it is coming next month.
Earlier this month, the search engine giant which has been known for nicknaming its Android mobile operating systems for smartphones and tablets after desserts, had for the first time announced a candy brand name for the version 4.4. However, Google made no mention of when the Android 4.4 update would rollout.
The search giant has been in news ever since it announced the next iteration of its mobile operating system, with the Nexus 4 successor, which is expected to be the platform lead device for Android 4.4 jelly, making multiple appearances on the Internet via FCC filing and image leaks. 
In the official promotional video of the KitKat announcement released by Google, a person was seen holding up a phone which came with a Nexus logo at the back, very identical to the Nexus 7 (2013). The back of the mysterious phone had a matte finish and included a large camera lens which has not been seen on any Nexus device, yet.

Recently, the alleged Nexus 4 successor was again spotted in new live images and a video. The purported pre-production unit of the next Nexus smartphone revealed the front and rear panels. It is rumoured that the next Nexus smartphone would run Android 4.4 KitKat OS and both are expected to be launched at the same event.
