Android L – which will bring a new version of Google? – PCLab.pl

class=”image” src=”http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/miekrzy/android_l/iko120.jpg”

subsequent editions of the conference Google I / O is inextricably linked to presenting the latest version of Android. It was no different this time, and at a conference conducted by wyszukiwarkowego giant could preview what the future will bring to the holders of the most popular mobile operating system.

start a small explanation of the name Android L. As you probably noticed, new versions of the system have names beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Now we have a KitKat, so it’s natural, it’s time for something with an “L” on the front. On the internet you can find the information that the name of another “droid” is a lollipop, but this has not been officially confirmed yet, because of the ongoing conference Google I / O shows only the announcement and very early variety ‘elki “, developed primarily for developers (and this They get access to it tomorrow, if they have the Nexus 5 or Nexus 7). Its final version and full name will be published in the autumn of this year and then you will be able to seriously begin to wonder when the phone receives the appropriate package updates, and why so late.

Most changes in Android L is to take place” under the hood “. Perhaps the greatest of these is the complete transition from Dalvik runtime environment for runtime ART. The first time it was presented already in Android 4.4, where it can be incorporated into a menu of options for developers, because it was still early and not fully efficient phase. Why is it so important to change? First, developers will have to check whether their applications are fully compatible with the new and update it before Android L starts getting “serious” to another phone. Secondly, it has a yield increase performance and speed running programs. The program compiled by the developer is “processed” on the so-called byte code. This code during the installation of the application goes to the smartphone / tablet and there must be “translated” into machine code. If the system unit has an active old Dalvik runtime environment, this operation is always executed during startup and the result ends up in memory. However, in the case of environmental ART, “translation” takes place already during the installation of the program and its result is stored in the future on a standard data carrier. Theoretically, this has lead to a reduction of CPU load, memory usage, etc. The first tests made yet on Android 4.4 show that it does not work miracles, but every bit of performance and better optimization of our welcome. Thirdly, a new environment is fully compatible with 64-bit processors of different types, ie ARMv8, x86-64 and MIPS64.

But this is not the end of the optimization of various types. Much attention has been paid to the behavior of supposedly “od?miecarki” memory. I think every user of smartphones with Android spotted some specific behavior of the system. When the RAM device is full when you run several programs and wants to take advantage of the next, which in a free RAM-e is not already, then you will find that everything slows down and may start to “munch”. This is due to the assumption “droid” that unused memory is wasted memory (in which there is some truth), through which he tries to keep in the applications and tools as long as possible and makes sense (and sometimes even longer ;) ) . For this reason, sometimes when you want to start a new program, you should first wait for the “garbage truck”, which releases the required amount of memory, and its action causes a temporary “przycink?” system. The Android L has this to happen faster and less noticeable to the user, which is especially good news for people with smartphones equipped with 0.5-1 GB of RAM (ie, holders of Motorola Moto Moto E G and again rejoice that their phones work even better and better ;) ).

There is also eliminated the theme of time working on the battery. Previously, we had Project Butter , designed to improve the liquidity of action Android, and now we Volta Project , which has allowed to find ways to properly time the battery. These optimizations will be mainly related to how often the device wakes from a deep sleep state by the modem and processes using the Internet and location services when the screen is turned off. Now it has to happen less often. The impact of this solution on the final result will largely depend on how you use your phone. If your smartphone has enabled most of the time the screen and still do something for him, it Volta will not change much. And if you use it less intensively, but they still check on something in the background and informs about new developments, this difference can be substantial. We wonder is whether the creator of the popular overlay system, something is traditionally not spoil, so the potential benefits of the amendments Android L will not be reserved only for holders of Nexusów, as is often the case with any kind of interface to optimize liquidity and the use of memory.

Another change relates mainly inner game programming is very specific, and evokes in us mixed feelings. It’s about Android Extension Pack . The games are an incredibly important part of mobile applications and they look better. This year’s graphics chips such as GPU Tegra K1, and Adreno 420 Snapdragon 805, will have a fully hardware compatible with DirectX 11 and the latest versions of OpenGL. This means support for features such as tessellation, compute shaders and geometry shaders. But to make it possible to take advantage of this service is needed by the system and drivers suitable API version that recognizes these functions. The Android-L can now enjoy the benefits of OpenGL ES 3.1, but it is a mobile API does not know what it is tessellation, geometry shaders and so a big chunk of logic smartfonowych latest graphics chips would lie fallow.

Here comes into play just Android Extension Pack , which will enable developers as easy to use these new techniques. It is therefore a form of patching the hole created by the fact that OpenGL ES does not keep pace with the development of hardware, and smartphones and tablets with Android still lacks full support for OpenGL. It is interesting that in the slide talking about AEP also mentioned compute shaders and texture compression ASTC, which are part of the OpenGL ES 3.1 and related API extensions, so either it is a mistake in the presentation (Compute r shaders?), or Extension Pack will do something my way.

With changes less technical and more visible it is worth mentioning:

  • much better system notifications that appear on the lock screen system (somewhere we have already seen a similar solution ;) )
  • new type of notifications that appear in balloons “over” the current application (ie, an incoming call will now zatrzymywa?o everything and, for example, interrupt the game, because the information about it will appear in a small “floating” window)
  • new look of the screen to switch between applications, for which a program can now send a few cards, not just one (for example, each card opened in a web browser can now be a separate “entity”
  • changed the appearance of the user interface and a new set of animation known under the common name Material Design
  • extreme power saving mode (this is also seen somewhere ;) ), who will be able to slow down the refresh rate of the screen, turn off processor cores, etc. .

News, however, probably will be appreciated mainly by” Nexusowców “because different types of overlay system do not necessarily have to implement it, or you can have them find a similar solution.

Of course, the list of changes is much longer and probably still will be lengthened in the next months. Many of them are prepared for developers and the fact that Android is now also getting watches, eyewear, televisions and even cars, and you have to somehow make sense fasten together. We’ll see what comes out, but Android L clearly shows that Google knows what problems has the operating system looks at what they are doing different partners and focuses on the refinement of what is, instead of the proverbial wheel again. And how does it work out in practice, see the end of the year.

Android 5.0 back in June? – CHIP

Railway to the name of Android with the letter 'L', so maybe it's time to ... lollipop (called: lollipop)?

Railway on the Android name with the letter “L”, so maybe it’s time to … lollipop (called: lollipop)

About how long we wait longer for the launch of version 5.0, evidenced by the fact that one of those “certain” dates was October … 2013. Instead, 31 October Google revealed Android version 4.4 KitKat, the latest variant of 4.4.3 (launched March 28) is available for now only on a limited number of strong “brand” smartphones, Google and several models of Motorola.

should also add that in the numbering system of Google is difficult to discern to some set of rules. Android 2.x series came if only to version 2.3, Android 3.x – only to version 3.2, and the latest version of Android 4.x is no longer on the market since October 2011 and since that time went through a lot of important changes and updates. When you look at them as a whole, it appears that Android 4.0 and Android 4.4.3 divides the gulf. However, there is “dot the i”, ie the renumbering of the primary system.

Coming back to “certain” dates of release of Android 5.0, it is worth mentioning that many experts expected its premiere at the last event Google I / O 2013. Now it is said that it is very likely premiere at Google I / O 2014, and this event will take place between 25 and 26 June this year.

This time, the release date proves to be true? No, do not be surprised if this does not happen. Yet in 2013, compared to the difference lies in the fact that at this moment it is expected Android 5.0 no longer simply as new, but as something that is already delayed. As something that should occur a long time ago and therefore must occur as soon as possible. Is that going to happen – we will see soon …

Android tips & tricks: Nexus Root Toolkit – PCLab.pl

Android is a system in many ways tragic, it could be for him to complain and complain. Anyway, after all, everyone knows that its pure variety is nothing interesting, it lacks a bunch of features. You can not, however, refuse him many advantages, including openness, and thus, the ability to create modifications. Today I have something that relates to this subject. It just so happens that, you may find some small, but it is extremely useful application. It is the Nexus Root Toolkit, which we’ll cover in this post.

Immediately I sadly conclude that, unfortunately, but it is definitely designed just for people who have the devices in the Nexus: Nexus S smartphones, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus Nexus 4 and 5, as well as tablet Nexus 7 (editions in both 2012 and 2013) as well as the Nexus 10 The author of this program is to Wug Fresh, one of many developers, which can be found even in the international forum XDA. Apparently, he stated that users of the Google logo bearing the signature are very lazy, I decided to create an application that allows you to do a lot of really minimal effort.

readability=”164″>

install, first fitting

its installation itself is simple, slightly worse drivers. Application advice on how to do this, I prefer own way. Run the device USB debugging development tools (if you do not see it in settings -> about phone repeatedly press the “number of complications, an appropriate message will betray us that everything went ok), and then connect it to your computer via USB Kabelka . Most likely, the system will not find the appropriate drivers. You can, however, help him by going to Device Manager by selecting the missing piece and tell it to look like this, where you have installed the application. In the case of 64-bit variants of Windows 8/8.1 may need to reboot the system with the option disabled driver signature checking, otherwise can not install it to us, and hence, further operations can not be carried out. If we already have the drivers, go ahead and finally run the Toolkit.

Unlock Bootloader

On a good day he will ask us what device you use. First, select the model, and then a specific version of the software. Assuming that generally users Nexusów have the latest available Android choice should not be difficult. It is very important that the application itself gets all the needed files is compatible with the selected model. What’s next? Well, it depends on us. Options offered by the application are considerable, and although these operations could do yourself, even from the command line, it is easier, after all just wyklika?: if we can, let’s simplify our lives this way. If you have not ruszali?cie your Nexus, I recommend that you start by unlocking the bootloader (the “Unlock”). This is the most important step, without which we will not do the rest.

In many devices, it is locked for good, others require a combination of alpine him to choose. The whole Nexus launch in due course, issue a single command and approval in the same phone. I’m not sure whether it is simpler, but probably not. Unlocking the bootloader is, however, a major drawback … I link this with the removal of all data and restore the device to its factory condition. Ot the requirement for security reasons. If so you have some important data, first copy the them. I mean the data at all, because I will also cleaned the entire internal memory. Are you ready? Click, the application itself must restart your phone. Following her instructions, you’ll have the volume buttons to select an option, then confirm the switch. Hooray! I odblokowali?cie Nexus! Okay, but what it really gives?

nexus2

Let me root, root gimme, gimme … I root you root …

So unlocked Nexus can become a victim of successive treatments, real transplant when it comes to software that is on it. For starters can leave the basic software that comes with it, let’s set up the phone and add a root access. This will allow the use of many useful applications, even to block ads, hibernate programs running in the background, or modify the entire interface. In this case, simply use the “Root”. Application re-do everything for us, even repeatedly running the machine again. After this procedure can be found on board a smartphone or tablet SuperSU installed application that allows you to increase the powers. Is not it that simple? This is a good time for it to make use of several applications requiring higher powers and see how it looks if so far with this not encountered. What will fly? Greenify if you depend on battery power, as well as Titanium Backup to backup individual applications. If you decide to change the original system to another, definitely take advantage of it, or at least recommend doing this instead of having to laboriously configure everything from scratch every time.



time on custom ROM

Well, now he can go with it, what Tiggers like best, so installing revised software such as CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OMNI or even something else with tons of custom ROMs available. This is what we will need is a modified recovery. Standard allows you to perform official Android updates provided by Google, but does not allow for anything more. Of course, thanks to the Nexus Root Toolkit will be able to replace them with a better alternative. Bystrzaki probably already noticed that we have the option to choose even at rootowaniu, just select the appropriate option and somehow “free” will be thrown immediately changed recovery. However, I recommend doing it differently. Just go to the advanced tools (under the Advanced Utilities), there in the middle column, select “Flash (Permanent)”, and then click Recovery. The application itself we propose to flash the latest version available from three types: CWM, TWRP and Philz. I’ll say this … CWM is a kind of “tradition”, but it is not installed version too comfortable on the touch screen. A better choice is also proven, really convenient and intuitive TWRP. As for the last option is not utter, because I have not had occasion to use.

Traditionally sufficient to confirm, the application does the rest for us. You know … this is really boring, is not it? Everything happens by itself, not even the thrill that accompanied the occasion ever play with other devices … What to upload the custom, here the user can not find it, because everyone has their own. You can specify a versatile recipe that works for these popular: move the file to your phone modification, a pack of GAPPS, enter reocvery, perform a full clean (wipe) and sflashowa? no two elements … There’s no philosophy and really taking into account the above clearly see that the upload revised software on the device with the Nexus series is a piece of cake. If you’ve seen this bookmark it right away you will notice that the upload using the application, you can also other things, like the radio (it’s not about the FM radio, but the module responsible for GSM and Wi-Fi) system, and the same bootloader.

nexus3

Blah or other gadgets

In fact, all the most important and most commonly used options are described. After the other probably will not go as often, unless you perfectly know what you are doing and want more solid mess. With these less advanced it is worth mentioning the possibility of a rapid restart, going to recovery mode and fastboot (bootloader). With this application you can also install files using APK files and zip to flash a single package, such as additional modifications or the revised kernel. NRT also allows quick placement on your files in a very convenient form (we select by clicking, not giving hand path). I admit without hitting that at times have that saved, or at least helped to save the skin. Try to modified software to encrypt the device, and then do a wipe, for example, forgetting to put in the memory of the new files to flash … Oh when emotions are guaranteed. But the truth is that the Nexus blow from the software side is definitely difficult. You would have to have the talent to damage the same bootloader …

Install and do not complain

What can I say … I use the Nexus Root Toolkit since time immemorial, used it even when not performed in a form convenient windowing applications, but something like it appears in the console. I would definitely recommend it to users of Windows and Nexusów holders who decide to have fun with your hardware. They really are so delicate and hard to find something that you can toss modifications in an easier way. It is not difficult even without the application, but it is even easier. Faced with the possibility of Nexus Root Toolkit also recommend the implementation of the grant’s really worth supporting even a speck, because he did a good job, and all the time the software is updated. And just .. before przyst?picie to any area, be sure to make a backup copy. Yes, the application allows it

First smartphone: Windows Phone or Android? – Virtual Poland

Standing before the decision to purchase the first smartphone do not forget the extremely important matter, which is a deliberate choice on-board software. Leaving aside any issues related to the design and parameters of purely technical, it is the phone operating system will affect such important matters, like the comfort.

 
  
  Android – a lot, and more

 
 Android is by far the most popular operating system among smartphone vendors. Its biggest advantage is the ability to configure the user, allowing smartphone in each hand becomes a tool extremely personalized. This is consistent with the idea of ??the creation of Android, which before the takeover by the giant Google was an open source project. So if you are looking for a system for which there is no problem to upload dynamic wallpaper with photos of the family, or simply setting the desktop to 101 ways – Android is for you.

 
 Speaking of Android, we can not forget about the store with applications Google Play – a place where everyone can find something for themselves. Suffice it to say that the first half of 2013 was closed with the result … a million applications available, the number of downloads of up to 50 billion! A multitude of options and dynamism Android developers in presenting ever new versions meant that some users started to just lose.


 
  
  Windows Phone – stable and quality

 
 Although the Android market advantage is undeniable, recently there is a new player whose actions are becoming more and more daring. Microsoft’s Speech, of course – the power which has taken the gauntlet thrown by Android. It is no secret that some Android users do not use the possibilities of this system. There are people who expect solutions simple and reliable – it is precisely this Windows Phone, having limited space, not susceptible to the configurations in the style of Android. OS itself is praised for its stability and intuitiveness, which translates into comfort.


 
 Windows Phone also has its own application. But it is not so powerful medium, as in the case of Android (about 150 000 items and growing).


 
  
  Which one is better?

 
 The last criterion: the price of the smartphone. Do you depend on your operating system? For example, offer OMG Network Plus , the subscription 64,90 z? for a token sum will get HTC Windows Phone 8S (market value of about 1000 z?), telephone dedicated to the HR system. Comparing the parameters of any model based on Android, such as LG Optimus L7 II (also for 1 z? in the said subscription, with a similar market price), it is difficult to discern the differences. Conclusion: increase prices for the same system simply does not have.


 
 Question title must therefore remain unanswered. Both systems are good solutions and must be subjected to the most restrictive to judgments – the user needs and preferences.

Android, and more than 7 million malware – PC Format

In the period from 1 to 31 May was exactly 7,005,453 registered security threats. This result is very similar to the data from April 2014. Similarly as in the previous months, the most common applications were detected advertising modules distributed by cybercriminals strictly commercial purposes. In approximately 10 percent. cases for mobile devices, applications found in the family Adware.Leadbolt, in second place (9 percent. cases) were applications from families Adware.Airpush, on the third (7 percent.) – Adware.Revmob.

Bot SMS – Android.SmsBot.120.origin was the most frequently detected malware in May – was detected at 235.383 devices with Android operating system. 189.847 infected smartphones and tablets backdoor Android.Backdoor.69.origin took second place in the ranking, third and Android.SmsBot.105.origin (132 403 infected machines). The list of “Top 10″ most popular type of Android Trojans detected using Dr.Web anti-virus software in May is as follows:

1 Android.SmsBot.120.origin – 3.36 percent.

2 Android.Backdoor.69.origin – 2.71 percent.

3 Android.SmsBot.105.origin – 1.89 percent.

4 Android.SmsSend.685.origin – 1.37 percent.

5 Android.SmsBot.122.origin – 1.21 percent.

6 Android.SmsSend.1215.origin – 0.96 percent.

7 Android.SmsSend.315.origin – 0.91 percent.

8 Android.Spy.83.origin – 0.91 percent.

9 Android.SmsSend.859.origin – 0.88 percent.

10 Android.SmsSend.991.origin – 0.86 percent.

The largest number of malicious and potentially dangerous programs (292 336) Dr.Web for Android detected on May 17, the least incidents (189 878) was recorded May 8, 2014 year. By the end of May 2014 due to component Dr.Web Security Auditor has identified 995 966 ??vulnerabilities, which can be used by criminals to carry attacks on Android devices.

Susceptibility Master Key allows you to install unsigned applications (introduction of viruses) of packages contain files with the same names. Two other vulnerabilities – Extra Field Name Length Field may allow attackers to incorporate the modified apk Trojan, which successfully pass the automatic verification during installation of a package. This carries the potential danger from malware penetrating the infected machine without detection of threats is not carried by the operating system. The frequency of detection of these vulnerabilities in mobile devices during the period 1 to 31 May 2014 shows the following diagram:

According to statistics, in 81 per cent. Android users settings allow the installation of applications from unknown sources, through which the device can penetrate potentially dangerous software, while in 19 per cent. users enabled debug mode is danger of leakage of all data stored on the device. The data also shows that nearly 4 percent. owners of mobile devices using the operating system with administrator rights (ie phones with root) – it also can infect a smartphone or tablet, and also significantly impedes the removal of malware.

Android vs. Windows Phone – another Zadyma about anything – dobreprogramy

Under News djFoxera for the presentation of new WP 8.1 smartphones at Computex flared up again Wojenka supporters Android and WP.

I wonder why, after all, everyone chooses what he wants, then, what is it and what is more convenient better uses.

Because Android is “free” and I can do what it pleases me

I wonder if I can (because it allows me to this software) – Do I need , otherwise it can not be used.

Android phone had – still have – Galaxy S +, the phone to not fit for use, changed applications zrootowa?em and still it turned out that no additional applications do not have the ability to control completely the applications installed on your phone, just like I have no influence on their needs and rights of access.

That was then, now I have a tablet with Andkiem – Asus Despite pad is better, it is possible to create several accounts – so what if the three accounts (for me, for my partner and separate children) the tablet ceased to develop, mussels, because it turns out that all applications run simultaneously for all accounts, multitasking Android Tablet struck the suspect, that if he had a more powerful processor and more RAM – would give a piece of advice only if it would make sense?

Freedom is a choice, but if buying a phone with Android you have a choice? Or you buy something cheap, which can not be used without interference or very expensive similarly useful equipment (not counting exceptions – because they only prove the rule)

Because Windows Phone is a closed system and you can not do anything with it

But do you need? Well, out of the box, insert the SIM card and log in to a Windows Live account, it remains only to set up the mail (just enter the username and password – the rest is done automatically), set up a social networking account (if someone needs), to update the system and voila , everything works, works quickly, smoothly and without hassle. I do not care whether it is multitasking or not, since the restoration of the last running application takes time.

There are not many wonderful applications such as Android? The myth, which is reproduced in the dark like that aliens landed in Roswell. I did not notice that I was missing something.

That can not be the same install “other” applications? – You can not and / g me well, because applications are allowed to store and are tested to operate if there is a limit (the difference in phones with 512 RAM and 1GB of RAM), the application is simply not available – end of story.

Another argument opponents of WP was not updated with WP 7.8 (but the update from WP 7.5 to 7.8 got all the phones on the market) to WP 8.0 – the fact hurt, but on the other hand, how many Android devices have the latest version, and how much equipment is manufactured and quite olanych by the manufacturers. All current “ficzerfony” with Windows Phone 8.0 are to receive an update to WP 8.1 – all of them, whether it be budget Lumia 520, or a digital camera with ringing – Lumia 1020, and all will benefit from the benefits of the new system.



Windows Phone is not free software – so there is no choice. In fact, whether to buy a phone with HR 300 z? or for 2500 z? – each of them works the same way – it’s really no choice.

followers and singer of freedom of Android boast that they can change, improve, improve and modify their devices soft – I congratulate you, first of all, perseverance, because they know a few shows. Few himself writes soft and provides it to others, and the many uses of knowledge found in the web and considered to be aces, after spending an hour with a trembling heart or after installing a new custom rom equipment “to raise”.

You are the experts, real experts, and you have to have a lot of free time but not on repairing what the company sold to you, just to keep track of news, if by chance someone has not improved what Android does not want to work.

Maybe This “freedom” has been given to you just because manufacturers lacked the time to bring everything to the final version because of the race of your money.

This optimistic note finish their grievances i ..

I will continue to use the very convenient Windows Phone, which for lack of burying it gives me a lot of free time for other pleasures.

Regards

Android / Simplocker – the first virus encrypts files on the … – PCLab.pl

class=”image” src=”http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/blind/2014/06/simplocker/wirus120.jpg”

on the market there is a new threat to attack Android devices. According to experts from the company ESET Android / Simplocker, because this malicious program was named, is the first ever application of ransomware encrypts files is and blocking access to them on mobile devices. Its effects are very harmful, because access to the data can be obtained only after paying a ransom. In the case of virus attacks users in Ukraine, but if these hackers already broke the door, it’s only a matter of time until it reaches a threat to us.

Detected by ESET pest Android / Simplocker gets on victim’s machine stitched the application and proceed to destroy the works right after the installation of the main program. Simplocker stitches deep in the files, starts to scan our SD card for a specific group of files (jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, pdf, doc, docx, txt, avi, mkv, 3gp, mp4) and starts the encryption algorithm AES .

Android / Simplocker

The whole process is hidden until it is complete when the display device appears ransom. To restore access to the files, the user must pay 260 Ukrainian hryvnia. Currency is not by chance – the virus was created to attack the inhabitants of Ukraine. It should, however, be on your guard, because the translation of the following message and request of zlotys in place of the hryvnia is only a matter of time. And what happens next? Infected device connects to a server where full control is a cybercriminal, so that it can fulfill virtually every command. It is also unclear whether the longer you pay the ransom Android / Simplocker disappears from your smartphone, or just goes into hibernation. In the latter case, such charges could be drawn from the user practically all the time.

 Android / Simplocker

It is still unclear who is responsible for this attack. The connection to the server is established using the TOR network, thus making it difficult to detect exactly where packages are delivered. A cybercriminal enter into possession of the IMEI, device model, manufacturer’s name and the version of the operating system. If you do not want to pay, waiting for him to restore the data from backups. Unless, of course, made earlier backup.

Over 99% of mobile viruses are created with a view to Android

What’s New Android 4.4.3 brings a KitKat? – Internet Zone

Within a few days of Android 4.4.3 reached the latest Motorola Moto, Nexusów and the version of Google Play Edition. In the face of such rapid spread of the renovation, many other users of the more looks for changes, wondering what did this iteration brings. We go out on the counter – this is the list of changes.

Any update Android is an event in the industry, because it means a renewed offer software changes, maybe a few new features for countless models Smartphones and billions of their respective owners. Android 4.4.3 is no exception, although it is too “small” for the release of the official presentation, but nevertheless it IS a new version and introduces some CHANGES, enough to interest the crowds users.

Android-4.4.3-Nexus-5

Ends

energy leaks

problem affected only some models, however, at work today miraculously enough (sometimes) to return home, you can imagine the impatience owners. Yes, like most minor update 4.4.3 KitKat as the main task is to repair the previous errors and optimize performance. The most annoying rapid depletion of the battery took place in the device with the cleanest software – the Nexus, so that is where Google has concentrated its efforts. Especially for the process mm-qcamera-daemon , which, as seen in the above image, it remains active in memory, consuming large amounts of energy in devices with Qualcomm processor.



End of vulnerabilities in security

troubleshooting section you will also find vulnerabilities, in particular those related to encryption ASEC on the memory card. Error known for a long time, is finally removed by Android 4.4.3. The same applies to some models rootowania by ADB commands, which allowed to obtain temporary root access.

However, since there is no official list, and amendments certainly is much more, you will have to wait for to discover more surprises. I wonder if Google I / O will provide us with more details if the next version of OS …

Nokia X2 soon? Another smartphone with Android – PCLab.pl

class=”image” src=”http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/qjin/2014/Luty/Nokia%20Normandy%20mini.jpg”

Microsoft may already be in Within a few coming weeks will launch the first model of smartphone, the Nokia X2 Android since he took over the department of Nokia’s hardware division, tied with smartphones.

According to the latest reports BGR India, unofficial sources reveal that the official presentation of the smartphone Nokia X2 should already take place in about three weeks and in addition may take place just in India. Deliveries of the test specimens were przyuwa?one in March.

In the previous leaks suggested that the Nokia X2 has to have a physical home button that was missing in the first generation. Moreover, X2 is to be equipped with a touch screen 4.3-inch, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a frequency of 200 1.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB of flash memory, a digital camera with a resolution of 5 megapixel and a VGA webcam. Technical specifications seem to be so certain step forward with respect to the Nokia X, for example, slightly enlarged screen (4 inches X) and improved digital camera (3 megapixels in X), but now in terms of hardware Nokia X2 fares a bit less than Motorola’s latest niskobud?etowców, so for example, Moto Moto E or G, which for the X2 will compete in the market. Of course, keep in mind that the now known specification has not yet been officially confirmed. On the other hand, Microsoft could simply adjust the price accordingly.

certainly be an interesting duel Microsoft to market low-cost smartphones running Android, which virtually all over the world is very strong. Brand Nokia, fortunately for Microsoft, in many markets is strongly associated with low-budget mobile phones, and perhaps it is this image proves to be very helpful in the fight against competitors.

class=”image” src=”http://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/blind/2014/06/android443/android120.jpg”

Google has provided just the latest update of Android . Version 4.4.3 can be downloaded by KitKat OTA service on Google Nexus devices and models Google Play Edition. Besides them update in the first place will settle it on smartphones Motorola.

Last update was for many people the much awaited, because many kernel bugs fixes, such as accidental restarts the system. Files for manual updates available on the web a few days ago, from today, while your device you can update through OTA service. Google has provided Android 4.4.3 at the moment a small number of devices, but you could not expect anything else. The update can be downloaded now on the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, both models Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) and three versions of smartphones in Google Play Edition Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

Android 4.4.3

Newer system fixes many annoying errors found in version 4.4.2. After updating to disappear random restarts, decrease the energy consumption when using the camera application. Change is also the appearance of the standard dialer, which is to receive the keys of a white background. There will, of course, smaller improvements and security fixes.

Motorola Moto G – test your smartphone

In the case of Motorola smartphones, and more specifically the Moto X Moto Moto E G and a list of changes is somewhat longer . In addition to these elements accessible to all, the company has also developed to improve the image quality and the ability to pause while recording video. For all devices in this group application will be installed Motorola Alert. I must admit that Motorola has a very good pace of updates. [Update] It turns out that for model G Moto Android 4.4.3 is only available for the version sold in the United States and Brazil. Also the owners of Poland’s most popular editing coming from the UK at the moment must overcome the taste.

Unfortunately that is not the case, the rest of the rates and it is difficult to say when exactly and which device models HTC, Samsung and Sony will receive Android 4.4.3 . It is said that Samsung for some time testing the update, so in his case, at least for flagship devices, the waiting time should not be very long. On the other hand, is very possible that the producers simply forgive yourself this version waiting for a completely new edition of the system. About her probably know a bit more on the conference, I / O, which will be held later this month.

Android 4.4.3 rather it was not billed as systemic revolution, and so it is difficult to expect any major changes in the system. Google focused instead on bug fixes, improvements and details, which could frustrate the previous releases. Great emphasis is also given to improve the performance of the Nexus series devices. As you might imagine it is those holders will be able to enjoy the new version of the first.

Here you can see a trend that was chosen during client update Google+. Therefore erected on the very bright colors and stressed them blue beams at the bottom and top of the screen.

There were earlier speculations that version 4.4.3 will be a big blow to the environment modders. Google is no intention to block the writing on the system partition, which will improve the security of the whole platform. Consequently, even applications with root privileges will not be able to modify the shell interface and modify the data gathered here. It would be a small tragedy for the entire XDA forum. For now, we are therefore safe, but probably this bliss will not last too long …

What improved? Great emphasis was placed on communication modules, so WiFi and Bluetooth. Mild improvements were also USB debugging function and the mechanism of energy management. The good news is also fixes the camera driver, what exactly will mainly affect the holders Nexusów. Also eliminated some errors with: Manager MMS, Email Client / Exchange, Calendar, Contacts / Dialer, DSP, IPv6 and VPN. Most probably not see with the naked eye. The system should, however, work at least minimally stable and reliable.

Unfortunately the update is difficult to conclude what we see during the upcoming event Google I / O. Rather, it will not the next version of Android.

Android says -,, Cheers! “- Dobreprogramy

Ends

the most beautiful month of May. You can so see how jumping jacks first billed Polish canary, that young sparrows. Movement in nature as in the peak hours of the roundabout Frog in Warsaw. Green grows and blooms until the roar in my ears and my head is spinning. Unfortunately, last week I went through the rhythm of mobile zombies, ie testing and getting acquainted with my new mobile androidowym friend, whose name still here today, I will not tell. Perhaps I will describe it in a month as giftbox me, this desire. Today shake the usefulness of the tablet with Android in the service of our personal health.

However, do not be fooled into believing that the tablet itself miraculously take care of your health status. Definitely not, he can only serve as a tool that thanks to the available applications – will encourage you to take action towards a healthy lifestyle. And a healthy diet. The more that the strawberry season begins, or cream, sugar and stodge to pain (stomach). All is for people, unfortunately, but in appropriate doses. It is easy to warp and beautify the mound glory, dustbin, Samara, and as yet there it was called. Put on weight is easy, but to get rid of this rather longer. Normally distributed it to years of hard work and sacrifice. Who was a little fatty, at least once in your life that knows the pain, and before you no one can be such an experience – Although I do not wish.

I do not want, and for that I would recommend for a good start interested in this specific group of applications on the Android system – of course not, as elsewhere in the temple of the mobile system, which is Google play in the category of health & fitness majority of applications, and rather all that I recommend are available for free. Not for the fact that this is due to avarice. Rather, it is dictated by practical knowledge of life, or flash in the pan can quickly burn out – or ignite a long time, although the latter option is very rare. First try, and paying and buying you have the time – that is my approach. It is easy to decide to do something, unfortunately, no longer, but try to be. At least we have the excuse that did not work out, because something there, something such as lack of time, soreness, or excessive sweating during exercise. Any excuse is good – we know it.

What I am here I will be your darkened. We know not from today that the shoemaker without shoes it – so I neglected myself about exercise and a healthy diet. However, from June finish with Internet surfing, mobile zombiactwem and dowalaniem to the proverbial oven in comments to other users of the portal. Simply take for my stomach muscle exercises. Thanks to the application presented below. I hope I can come back at the Castle on the Rock during this year HotZlotu with beautiful szkatu?ami in the place where today arrears fat deposits. And as an unofficial attraction, which you will not find in the agenda presented by the organizers of this meeting – modestly, I should mention that the coffee breaks between sessions. In the nearby park appears mysterious exhibitionist with a beautifully sculpted body of a Greek hero. Presenting their charms for the fairer sex. Here is the key to success, or an application you can find here Named exercises for abdominal muscles. With the rest you can find other apps by this developer to exercise other parts of the body – to choose what suits whom.

However, the same exercise, it’s still not enough to get the victory in the fight for health and a nice silhouette. The basis of a healthy diet and good eating habits. Of course, each person has a different metabolism and what harms one another out for good. But sometimes the thought proverb that bears the pitcher until it breaks off his ear. Sometimes it happens that a picture of health is catching the disease, which does not even heard of, and may have heard, but have had the others – on in life. One such disease can be, for example diabetes mellitus. You can live with it, but prevention is better because I do not know if someone suddenly does not reach as catarrh of the stomach while traveling the old cruise bus. We count, so the calories, carbohydrates, and whatever else is sitting in foods. And let us live up to the death – healthy. Perhaps useful in achieving this goal will prove to be such applications as – Table of calories klik.tutaj Or – Glycemic Index klik.tutaj Below you can see pictures of these silent helpers of our future success, or health. Nothing is so happy, just as health and worth to take care of, because there is an operating system that can be subjected to the harsh software reset. We’re all in the same taxi, or get on – we pay and get off at the right time. Most importantly, however, is to go as long as possible. And all that for us, it will be worth it to apply in practice.

Now that you know roughly what, how much is good and bad. It remains for us to entertain the chef and cook up something on our gas stove. Invite a lover, girlfriend, wife, and enjoyed eaten by candlelight, or the sound of a waterfall down the street passing automobiles. It is, so to have at hand the application here przepisy.pl do not know, since the day and hour when the hut was called on you hungry girl. And after eating, it is known only dances till dawn – too good way to burn some extra calories, just feet hurt a little later.

All presented applications must be taken with a grain of salt, as the only contribution to the topic of healthy lifestyle. They can be useful, but before them should mainly be used sanity. Best to find your individual way of life and be yourself – thick, thin, but happy and smiling. Health and faith in their own strength wish.

PS.
