BOOTDROID Dual Boot Android OS and Apple IOS 4 on Android

BOOTDROID

Dual Boot Android OS and Apple IOS 4 on Android devices including Samsung Galaxy S 2


A project titled Bootdroid is under weigh ( Google Project Hosting ) which enables android users to dual boot both IOS and android on their devices . The project is now on development phase and not in a official stable state . An official version has not been released yet , but you can enjoy an unstable version of the project for open source and code improvement purposes . A big news for those who missed simple IOS on android devices . The developer of the project is the owner of such apps like Blackberry Connect , Desire Freedom and Wiblaze

The app description from the project home

What is BootDroid?
BootDroid is a project which enables android phones to dual-boot both Android OS & iOS 4. Please note that this project is still under development and is currently
not in an official stable state. It is suggested that you do not install BootDroid until an official version has been released. Until then, the download will be available for
the unstable version of the project for open source & code improvement purposes of beta testers & other developers.
Why is This Beneficial?
There are many reasons that this project is beneficial to some. Some users switch from Apple devices to Android devices and miss the old layout that the iOS
offers. While others may like the simplicity that the Android OS doesn't offer. Some other positive reasons are listed below..
Battery: The Android OS is known for killing battery with all of its background data being shared with many different applications, as well as high quality
animations running all the time. iOS doesn't have as much going in the background, and is known for keeping a very long lasting battery (note: when booting with
ios on android devices, a lot of battery is conserved because of the operating system's, simplicity.)
Apple-Unique Apps: Apple devices running iOS have very unique applications which help make Apple devices as popular as they are today. Apps such as
FaceTime, iMovie, AppStore, iTunes Store, ect. can now be enabled to work on Android devices with this project.
Easy iTunes Sync: The one thing that Android failed to to enable is easy synchronization with computers (especially Mac). When this project is enabled on your
Android device, you can easily sync with iTunes as if it were an Apple Device.
Dual Booting: Once booted on an operating system, it is very easy to boot to the other. All you have to do is power down the device, and boot it up again to
select which operating system to boot from.
Jailbreak Freedom: In order to get iOS working on Android devices, the firmware ported & installed onto the phone must be jailbroken. So yes, you are
booting a jailbroken iOS firmware. Cydia and all 3rd party applications will work perfectly fine (SSH is also working).
Extra Information
Screen Sizes Because most Android phones come in many different screen sizes, it would be amazingly difficult to resize the iPhone screen to make it larger or
smaller then it needs to be. So instead, the Android devices will be booting to an optimized iPad 2 firmware. The iPad 2 Firmware makes it easy to resize the screen
to the correct sizes. Since most Android devices have fairly good quality of images & colours, similar to retina-quality, quality should come out, if not better then
displayed on Apple devices. This means that the dual boot works on tablets, but no extra support toward tablets have been added yet.
What Devices Work Best with BootDroid?
BootDroid works with most Android devices, but some devices work better then others.
HTC Desire HD: With the latest, fastest processor and large screen with great graphics, iOS runs flawlessly on this phone.
Samsung Galaxy S & S2: Both have fast processors & fairly good screen sizes, runs just as well as the iOS would on an iPhone.
Motorola Droid: Fairly good processor & screen size, iOS works with this very well.
Nexus S: Again, works fairly well with iOS because of fast processor and good screen size.
Again, BootDroid works with most Android devices, but works best with these devices above.

5 Beautiful Uses of Google Search Box

In this post, I am going to reveal some little known uses of Google search box. These uses can increase your productivity at office and will save your time as well.

What You Know:

Google is a search engine and can find any information for you.  And the results are quite accurate and fast as well. All we need to provide the keyword or text and Google will do the rest.

You May Not Know: 

Google search box is like our brain which can do a variety of things. The search box can be used as a calculator, spellchecker, dictionary and so on.

1. Calculator: The box can used to perform some simple mathematical calculations. For ex.


2. Currency Converter:

The box can be used for currency conversions. For ex: Let’s say we want to convert 50 USD into GBP then we need to use the following syntax.


3. Dictionary Definitions:

You can find the dictionary meaning of a particular word by using the following syntax.


4. Fill in The Blank:

Sometimes you don’t know the exact or complete phrase to be searched. So you can do it by placing an * at the end of the phrase.


5. Spell Checker:

The search box can also be used for checking the spelling of a word. All you need to type the keyword in the box and Google’s built in spell checker will tell you if the spelling is correct or not.

 

These are the few uses of Google search box that I discovered. There are many other uses of search box, I guess.

All you need to explore and discover!

How to increase internet speed

* First trick

Here’s a simple 3 minute tweak (XP Pro only) that will increase your broadband speed.
By default (even with QoS disabled) Windows XP reserves up to 20 percent of your connections bandwidth.
To override this reserve take the following steps.
Make sure you Log on as Administrator, not as a user with Administrator privileges.

* Start > Run > type gpedit.msc
* You will see [Local Computer Policy]
* Expand the [Administrative Templates] branch
* Expand the [Network] branch
* Highlight [QoS Packet Scheduler]
* Double-click [Limit Reservable Bandwidth]
* Check [Enabled]
* Change [Bandwidth limit %] to 0 %
* Click [Apply] [OK]
* Restart
Effect is immediate.

*Second Tricks

Part 1 - Modify LAN Properties
Go to Start > Network Connections.
Right Click > Properties on your main internet connection.
Make the following changes: Unselect everything except "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"



*Third trick

With WinXP Service Pack 2, Microsoft limited TCP connections to 10. Running the Lvllords patch will add more TCP connections and increase your speed.
Extract the patch and run it (see example):



Change the limit - Press "C" and set it to 100.


Press "Y". You’ll then be presented with with a Windows XP message saying that your original files are being replaced. Click "Ignore" or "Cancel" for that window, and choose "Yes" when asked for confirmation
If the Lvllords patch was successfully executed, you’ll get a ‘SUCCESS’ message.
Exit and reboot your computer.

* Forth Trick

host name resolution priority
Windows 2k/XP
First, open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (after backing up) navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipServiceProvider
Note the following lines (all hex dwords):
Class = 008 (8) – indicates that TCP/IP is a name service provider, don’t change.
LocalPriority = 1f3 (499) – local names cache
HostsPriority = 1f4 (500) – the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) – DNS
NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) – NetBT name-resolution, including WINS
What we’re aiming to do is increase the priority of the last 4 settings, while keeping their order. The valid range is from -32768 to +32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other services. What we’re aiming at is lower numbers without going to extremes, something like what’s shown below should work well:
Change the “Priority” lines to:
LocalPriority = 005 (5) – local names cache
HostsPriority = 006 (6) – the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 007 (7) – DNS
NetbtPriority = 008 (8) – NetBT name-resolution, including WINS

==>Fifth trick

Most Google websites dont do well in Opera Mini. What Opera Mini can do and cannot do

Its frustrating and nearly exhausting. I have tried for years the "Google Adwords Keyword Tool" with Opera mini with futile results. The heavy JavaScript site doesnt do a d*** thing with Opera mini and adamantly reluctant to at least show what the website is all about. The now defunct Bolt browser was an exception. It neatly obeyed its master and rendered the mighty JavaScript and few new advanced elements. Now the browser is gone and we have to however cope with the browser that has won million's hearts for nothing. Actually, I cannot over exaggerate the thing, Opera does nearly well with all the web standards we throw at it. But not delivering the Big G's stuff nowadays is not a good sign since they are used by the most millions all around the world on a daily basis. Here is the list of Google products that Opera Mini doesnt do well with

1. Google's Adwords Keyword Tool

2. Blogger's new interface

3. Google Groups new user interface

4. Google Mobile's Image tab

5. Adsense new interface: it works fine but you cannot generate a new ad code unit and copy it. Its totally stubborn. The Adsense code is unalterable. But Opera goes beyond what its supposed to be delivering

[articles] The Life And Trials Of Android: A Beautiful Mess That Is Destined To Survive

reposted from androidpolice.com

First, A Brief Introduction...

If you've been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the tech world for the past year or two, you're probably well aware that Android has more or less taken over the smartphone scene. Way back in June of 2010, Google revealed that 160,000 Android devices were being activated per day - at the time, that was more than double the combined total of iPhone, Mac, and iPad activations. According to comScore, Android had already conquered 28.7% of the market in December of 2010. In March of 2011 - just a few short months later - comScore's numbers showed market share had leapt to 34.7%.

Fast forward a year and a half to February 2012, and activations were over 850,000 per day. Andy Rubin, Google's head of Android, also revealed that over 300 million Android devices had been activated, and there were over 450,000 apps in the Play Store.  And comScore's numbers for March of 2012 showed that an absolutely astonishing 51% of smartphones ran Android - a difference of 16.3% year-over-year.

But enough self-capitulation; I've got my flame suit on and I'm ready for the nerd rage that's sure to ensue from the following post. Because I see a lot of problems with Android. Problems that couldultimately lead to its decline.

Let me clarify that statement - and please, read this before you head down to the comments to berate me. I'm not talking about the death or demise of Android, per se. In fact, I foresee Android continuing to sell by the literal boatload for years to come, so when I say decline, understand that I'm talking about market share in a market that's growing at an incredible pace. Do I see the end coming? Maybe - but it would be years down the road. This post is not in the sensationalist style of a crazy homeless man; the end is not nigh.

Perhaps most importantly, I'll be capping off the post on a positive note - although I see plenty of bad history and issues that will plague our beloved OS for some time, I also see signs that despite all its flaws, Android has the potential to continue its dominance for years to come.

If Google Were A Car, It Would Be A Camaro

google_camaro

Pictured: Google. Image source.

When it comes to being a fast-moving company, Google is a lot like an American muscle car: fast in a straight line and respectable stopping distance, but throw a few turns into the track and you're going to have a bad time. The company tends to come flying out of the gate with new products, but they're always half-assed. Disagree? Name one recent Google service that came out without serious shortcomings or flaws. I challenge you.

I don't think you can. Look at all the company's failed social experiments; even Google+ is a ghost town to all but the technnophiles (though it remains my favorite social network by far). Google Wallet has been used by, at best, a fraction of a percent of the population, and uptake by manufacturers and carriers is abysmal. The Play Store's music and movie offerings launched without all the major players on board and still remain sub-par. There are dozens of smaller services that simply fell by the wayside because they never even made a splash to begin with.

And that's without even touching the sore subject of Android. Honeycomb was, by the company's own admission, a rushed and weak approach to tablets, and even over a year after the first Android tablets were released, quality tablet-optimized apps are few and far between. Fragmentation runs rampant, as much a nightmare for consumers as for manufacturers and carriers. It took years - until Android 4.0 (3 years) if we're being honest, or Android 2.3 (2 years) if you want to be a dishonest fanboy - for the OS to reach some sort of respectable level of consistency and casual usability; either length of time is unacceptable. And oh, God, the sales disappointment that was Google TV, despite having some potential...

The App section of the Play Store has improved greatly over the years, sure. It went through a few UI makeovers, though it's still far from perfect on that front. But there are much deeper issues that haven't been addressed, both from the standpoint of developers and of customers. Malware is aserious threat on a nearly daily basis, a problem exacerbated by Android's popularity, as owners are increasingly likely to be tech-illiterate. The refund window is still just 15 minutes, a pitifully short time to find any major issues with an app. Think about it: would you trust a review of a game or app after the reviewer had spent just 15 minutes with it? Certainly not, so why would that amount of time be enough to decide if it's a worthwhile purchase?

For developers, Android can be a nightmare. They constantly have to fight an uphill battle, thanks to the huge number of existing apps (it's hard to get noticed), a customer base that's unforgiving and expects most apps to be free, and piracy that runs rampant. Play Store issues aside, the wide variety of devices that makes Android so beautiful is also one of the biggest curses. Some devices have tiny screens with resolutions like 320x480, run a single-core TI CPU at 800MHz, and have 4 capacitive buttons. Another device might pack a 4.7" screen at 720x1280, with a quad-core NVIDIA CPU clocked at 1.5GHz and only 3 capacitive buttons. And yet another may be a 10.1" tablet with a resolution of 1920x1200 and have no capacitive buttons at all. That's all before you even factor in that each of these devices may be running a different version of Android and manufacturer customizations... or worse still, be hacked and modified by the owner, running some Frankenstein-like combination of recovery, kernel, drivers, and ROM.

A lot of these issues are being partially addressed by Google, but very slowly and occasionally with ill effect. As alluded to above, complaints about the UI and usability of the Play Store have been addressed in various revisions, but the core issues remain. It took the company a few years, but they're starting to pick up their marketing game, and now advertise their various products and services, including Android. Presentations, while still fairly meh, are better than they were in the past, and will likely continue to improve. In short: as I said, a Camaro isn't good at tight turns, and neither is Google. Instead, they're making minor course corrections and zooming off in a better (if not completely on target) direction.

Android: The Sort Of "Free" That Comes With A Price Tag

One of Android's biggest selling points for manufacturers is that it's free - Google charges precisely nil for Android itself. Of course, for manufactures, there are two resulting benefits. First, they aren't responsible for developing and maintaining the code - merely for getting that code onto their devices. Second, they have access to the massive Play Store, a crucial piece of the smartphone puzzle.

But both benefits, as it turns out, come with a price tag. Getting Android to work on the bevy of devices offered by most manufacturers costs a massive amount of resources - in fact, it's one of the largest problems suffered by HTC and its huge lineup of extremely similar, but not-quite-the-same devices. The code has to be tweaked for each one, and each has to be individually quality tested. From there, it has to be rolled out to carriers for them to make their own customizations and then conduct their own QA, and only then does it become available to the end user - all on a phone-by-phone basis. It's for that exact reason that the company went back to the drawing board and streamlined their device lineup, coming away with the impressive three-pronged One series of devices. (This is, of course, excluding the additional manufacturing and hardware support costs for each minor variation.)

The absolutely mental state of patents and litigation makes the situation exponentially uglier. Trying to even comprehensively write about all the lawsuits flying around the Android world is, by my calculations, literally impossible for any one person to do. If we'd redirected the sheer amount of resources dumped into protecting bogus patents rather than innovating, we probably could have figured out cold fusion by now. And colonized Mars.

This simple graph explains it all, I think:

TechPatentWars

Source

Oh, I'm sorry, did I say "simple?" I meant goddamn ridiculous. The litigation costs alone are huge, and the implications therein doubly so. If the companies in a suit don't reach a licensing agreement, things can get so ugly that shipments of an entire line of devices can be halted. If they do reach a licensing agreement, the costs add up to just as much. For example, Samsung pays between $10 and $15 to Microsoft alone for every Android device it sells. And that's just the tip of the iceberg - the CEOs of Samsung and Apple met to discuss possibly settling, which further adds cost to each device. With all the lawsuits currently going on, it's likely there will be further payments from the Android camps, either in the form of licenses or settlements.

In sum, the costs of producing and supporting an Android device are fairly substantial, resulting in a huge bite out of profits. In 4Q11, Apple had 8.8% of total phone (all phones, not just smartphones) market share, yet made 73% of profits. Samsung came in second at 23.5% of the market and just 26% of profits, while HTC pulled a mere 1% of profits.

Nice Guys Finish Last

One of the most beautiful aspects of Android is the sheer customizability. You can literally changealmost anything about the OS that you don't like, doubly so if you have the technical know-how. And yet that's something of an Achilles heel for Google; while it undoubtedly contributes to the popularity both among manufacturers and consumers, it also allows other companies to take Android, strip away the Google-ness, and come away with a free, well supported OS that they have to pay absolutely nothing for.

The most notable example is the Kindle Fire. While sales of Android tablets have been mediocre at best, the one bright point has been the Kindle Fire, which constituted 16.8% of tablet shipments in 4Q11 and 4% in 1Q12, but which also runs a heavily diluted version of Android that doesn't use Google services (including the Play Store). Instead, it sports Amazon's proprietary app, music, and movie services. As a result, it provides little revenue back to papa Goog. Nor does it profit the company from a marketing standpoint, since most consumers don't realize it's based on Android to begin with - rather, they see it as an Amazon product from top to bottom (which, quite frankly, it almost entirely is, aside from that Android core tucked way deep down in there).

But Amazon's hit-it-and-quit-it use of Android is nothing compared to the potential damage caused by China. Carriers and manufacturers there are doing just the same - taking the core and then slapping their own revenue streams on top, leaving nothing behind to help Google recoup costs.

A few lost revenue streams probably aren't going to stop Google from developing Android, at least for the time being. The company recognizes that limited or lost revenue in one stream isn't a big deal, because frequently it pays off in other areas. Still, in this case, there are likely no real payoffsanywhere, and while that's not a problem now, it may be in the long run.

Competition At Its Finest

It's no secret that the smartphone OS world is a chaotic whirlpool of competition. You've got the old companies violently trying to claw their way back up (e.g. Nokia and RIM), the steam-engine juggernaut that is Microsoft, the front-runner Apple, and up-and-comers like Tizen, all competing with our superior beloved Android.

Many are already counting Nokia and RIM out of the fight, but people (and companies) fight hardest when it's for survival - it's much too late to count them out now, and it looks like they plan to come out swinging. Nokia's partnership with Microsoft has resulted in Nokia's first competitive flagship in ages, the Lumia 900, which has been so well received that even Siri called it the "best smartphone ever." And RIM promises huge changes on the horizon with the catchingly named BlackBerry OS 10, though the company may have already lost too much steam. And then there's the possible of competition on the horizon, such as from the very similar Tizen - a Linux-based OS backed by Juggernauts Samsung and Intel, as well as The Linux Foundation and Sprint.

The most notable competition, really, comes from within. As mentioned above, Samsung pays Microsoft $10 to $15 for every Android device sold. Care to guess how much it costs for a Windows Phone 7 license? $15. Factor in other licensing costs - such as to Apple or other IP trolls owners, and what are likely much lower support costs (WP7 phones are virtually identical, so they require little customization on a device-by-device basis) - and the OS starts to look like more and more of a bargain. That's leaving out the massive marketing budget Microsoft devotes to WP7, and the strong potential exhibited by Windows 8 (and WP8).

Google's (And Android's) Saving Grace: Lots Of Horsepower

Remember how I complained that Google just zooms off in a direction without really taking the time to think it through first? Most of the time, jumping head-first with your eyes closed is a bad idea. But sometimes, that split-second you saved by not hesitating can be enough to give you an edge - a sort of creed that Google has essentially always operated by. There are a few notable examples of when that pays off, but let me explain why those successes can be so important.

The beauty of Google products and services is that they're all integrated with each other. That's key here, because people who use and enjoy one product by a company are likely to keep things with the same provider whenever possible - and Google is good at brand loyalty. Think about how many Google products people use on a regular basis, and how loyal they are to them - Search, Maps and Navigation, GMail, YouTube, Translate, Docs, Calendar.... the list goes on and on, and the best part is, they will go out of their way (to some extent, anyway) to get to Google services over competitors services. And once they're already part of that ecosystem, it makes sense to stay within it.

This integration lends excitement to some of the amazing, forward-thinking projects that Google is working on. Project Glass, for instance, has the potential to be revolutionary, and the video indicates there's incredibly tight integration with Android (if it doesn't run Android, that is - a strong possibility), and with nearly all of Google's other services. Google's driverless car is just as amazing, and the tech is now legal in Nevada.

Google's successful services never really fade away - they simply continue to adapt, kept alive and well by that tight integration. Android has clearly been a resounding success, and it's likely that both of the other projects listed - and a fair chunk of the other cutting-edge tech the company is working on - will catch on as well. As long as Google makes sure that new services continue to complement the old, it's unlikely the OS will fail any time soon.

Off Niche!, Hostgator and X10hosting compared. How the backingup and and restoration is done

How did this all start? I will narrate the story in indepth details. I had a vital issue to settle down with Hostgator and X10hosting regarding backups and restorations. So, Yesterday I directly emailed Hostgator and contacted X10 through their ticket system (is there any live chat facility? Oops I forgot that)


My query to the Hostgator

Date: May 22

what if a site get hacked? How is the restoration process is done?

Do you restore the site with a back up on your own (by your technical staff for free) or you leave the user with a back up leaving him to do the restoration on his own?

Do you charge to provide back ups?

Hostgator's support systems reply

Date: May 22

Hello,

If you have a backup that you have created yourself, we will restore from that free of charge, however there is a $15 charge to restore from one of our backups. Our administrators will be more than happy to help you restore from one of your own backups free of charge or from one of ours for $15 if the need should ever arise.

My second query

May 22

Websites are constantly hacked. For how many times you provide the free restoration services through customers backups?

Hostgator's response

May 22

Hello,

You might be surprised how in- frequently sites hosted here get hacked. When it happens, it is nearly always because of an outdated WordPress or Joomla installation or the like. In general, we always charge $15 to restore from our backup server, while restoring from a backup you create yourself would be free. This is not absolutely set in stone, however, and we do take extenuating circumstances into account when making a decision.

My third query

6:48 am

1. If we provide a backup that we have created on our own, does your staff do the restoration for free?

2. For how many times a customer get this grace? Two times a week, thrice a moth, 10 times a year?

3. 15$ for both backup and the restoration, or only for the backup?

4. Each time you charge 15$ to provide a backup and for few occations you provide free restoration and then onwards charge for the restoration too?

5. Every time a website get hacked, the only thing the customer has to do is pay 15 bucks and the restoration is done?

6 Is this applicable to every package, including hatchling (5$ a month single domain * 12)?

be specific. I dont need a romantic novel to read here

Their swift response


7:01 am

Hello,

I'll try to answer all your questions.

1. Yes, if you provide the backup we will generally do the restore for free so long as it is a cPanel backup or zipped contents of your files with sql import.

2. Generally there is no limit but if abuse is suspect this may change.

3. We maintain a weekly backup so long as the account is under 10GB and under 100k inodes, backups are done automatically, you as the customer pay for the restoration. In extenuating circumstance we will waive the restore fee.
4. See #3

5. In most cases yes, but sometimes the backup we have may be too recent and include the bad changes. this is why we always suggest the customer keep their own backups.

6. We keep weekly backups on account packages ranging from the Hatchling to VPS's

On the other hand, at the same intervals, I contacted X10hosting. Contrary to the X10hostings slow motions, Hostgators average response time was impressive

Here how that story went


2012-05-22 08:41

what if a site get hacked? How is the restoration process is done? Do you restore the site with a back up on your own (by your technical staff for free) or you leave the user with a back up leaving him to do the restoration on his own? do you charge to provide back ups?

2012-05-22 04:06

Do I get a response to this ticket?

2012-05-23 05:25

hello somebody out there

Repeatedly bumping the ticket actually causes this ticket to get sent to the back of the queue as it has the most recent activity; whenever possible, please avoid bumping tickets for this reason.

On premium, we utilize the R1Soft backup system; you should be able either to restore the backups yourself, or if you'd prefer you could open a ticket under premium support and staff could restore it as well. Generally speaking, I still recommend making your own backups through the backup icon in cPanel (the icon isn't on Free hosting due to the resources it uses, but on premium where there's less users it isn't a problem), just so you would have a local copy as the R1Soft system doesn't actually make the backup and send it to you. Backups are free, as is restoring from them; the only drawback to potentially being hacked in this situation is waiting for the backup itself to finish restoring, as larger sites can take a bit to restore all their files (the bigger the site, the more files/larger files there are).

The whole the concept is 'inspired by nature', Samsung claims. Wanna proof? touch the lock screen and you'll see a little water ripple and a little water drop sound can be heard too. Natural isnt it?

All plastic. Feels cheap

Lightweight

It has an HD screen. But there are few other options at the market at the moment too, like Nexus, Note and One X

309ppi pixel density

Good contrast ratio

Large display

Excellent colour reproduction

Colours balanced. The thing doesnt seem so saturated or harsh like previous Super AMOLEDs

Bulky for small hands. Not for your dirty reckless sister

A more interactive lock screen

Touchwiz re-touched

The dock at the bottom of the display now houses five favourite items including the app menu

S voice needs training to be sharp tuned

Notification light

The video player supports almost every codec

Pop Up Play. You can watch a video with it while doing some other tasks by pressing icons at the corner of the video. A video playing Multi tasker

The music player as it is in the predecessor, UI not enhanced

AllShare Cast

Available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal memory versions. Upto 64GB supported through microSD card. 50GB out of Dropbox and SugarSync also present, a Memorysaur!

A larger than before display. Typing served well

Three photos manually per second

20 photos in a row (at six per second) in burst mode

HDR, panorama, Smile Shot, Beauty Mode and few others present

"PlayMovies" from Google present

Music Hub

Gamer Hub

S Beam allows you to send content between phones over NFC at 300Mbps

Only Samsung I9300 handsets are capable of handling S Beam

S Beam-enabled smartphones are sparse on the market

2100mAh battery

LTE, HSPA+, Wi-Fi, a GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, all inclusive

Samsung's own quad-core Exynos processor, though each core clocked at 1.4GHz, isnt as power efficient as other chips, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4

The polycarbonate smartphone chassis material, the standard nowadays, isnt what you get with this

Samsung Galaxy S3 is no exception!. None of the Android devices natively Sync with Outlook's PST file. The only two software bundles which have succeeded in doing so, and correctly, are Microsoft's ActiveSync and the Blackberry Desktop so far

Zero shutter lag

Backside illuminated sensor

Its TouchWiz, updates wont roll in so fast

Video-calls

Non-PenTile screen, heart broken?

The subpixel density is still on par with what you got from the S II

A whole new sensor for the camera

Build up from glossy plastic, Samsung Hyperglaze coating doesnt improve the feel and the handling of the device. Finger prints not curbed well

The design is far from perfect

The display settings menu offers four different modes to choose from. Namely, Livelier dynamic, Standard, Natural and Movie. What a flexibility!. Does your ******* offer that?

Sunlight legibility is a splendour. However HD Super AMOLED isn't the brightest display around. You get a meager reflectivity which is surprisingly manageable

Wide viewing angles (Colors are lost when one reaches the extreme angles though)

Icons and text are perfectly clear, when one reaches the extreme angles though colors get a bit distortion

Ambient light Sensor

No dedicated camera key again

microUSB port can be used for both, data connections and charging.

USB host

MHL, HD TV-out connectivity

Have to purchase an adapter to use HD TV-out connectivity

You can enable a news ticker at the bottom of the lockscreen

The homescreen and the app drawer host only four icons on a row

The app drawer houses upto five icon rows

Some widgets are resizable

Can pinch to zoom out and easily manage, add, delete or rearrange homescreen panes

Can't have more than seven homescreen panes. Isnt it enough?

The performance of the camera is improved

An F/2.6 aperture unlike what we saw in the S2, F/2.65 and a focal length of 3.7 mm against the 3.97 mm of the Galaxy S II. This means bit wider viewing angles and more from your photos

Noise is well controlled

Higher resolution inclines towards a more unearthly color saturation and the "Result?", images may seem unrealistic

Q: What did the big candle said to the small candle on its birthday?
A: Your too young to go out!

Phone's backlit displays usually go out according to the time you set it to be that way. With Smart Stay, light remains as long as your eyes are glued to the screen. Next time you do something the display wont dim or cut it out in the middle of the _______

When you're fiddling with contacts, reading or writing a message to a contact, and suddenly decide calling is the better option than mere texting, do a "Direct call". Just take the phone close to your ear at the very instance and your done

New cool gesture controls,

(A) Shake it! It will detect nearby Bluetooth devices, update emails, news or weather apps.

(B) Double-tap on the top of the device, you will be taken to the top of a scrollable list.

(C) Turn the phone over! It mutes calls, kill media and radio playback

(D) A hand sweep across the screen will capture Screenshots

(E) Hold the palm against the screen, it will pause the media playback. Yikes!, it will plast a big ugly palm print on the screen though

(F) Hold finger against the display and rotate the phone to landscape mode. The camera is accessed from the lock screen

At times the responsiveness of the S voice is bit laggy

Can grab 720p videos using the front-facing cam

S Voice - the voice commando of the Galaxy S3 and the arch nemesis of the Siri. You can voice command it to accept or reject calls, take pictures, set alarms and search the big G etc

Pop up play is a thing to consider. It plays videos in separate windows, which is draggable around and resizable. While sinking the Titanic, it will text or surf too

An innovative eye-tracking method, "Smart Stay". It will track your eyes when looking at the display, and dim it when you're not

When you have missed calls and messages, the "Smart alert" will notify it, vibrating exactly when you pick it up without knowing what was going on while you were fishing away from the phone

The average bitrate of the 720p videos that you take with the front cam is 12Mpbs and even they are accompanied with stereo sound too

Images even taken in the burst mode, are of full 8 MP resolution

S Beam allows you to share all sorts of media via NFC. But it actually uses WiFi to transfer data swiftly

Take near full- resolution pictures (these are cropped to an aspect ratio of 16:9)

The S voice is reluctant of too much detailed or lengthy demands

The Pop up player is brisk enough to handle both videos in a seperate window and other tasks at the other hand

With S Beam you can even transfer webpages and contacts

S Beam provides only the stock "Android Beam" functionality

Truth speaking, S III's actual capturing capabilities are capped at a maximum of 20 consecutive shots. Its said to be capable of capturing full resolution shots at 3.3fps for much longer than what it delivers now

HD video recording delivered without any delay

During video recording you can also shoot full- res 16:9 snaps

The Buddy photo feature automatically recognises people from your contact profiles and enables the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III to tag pictures accordingly

Easier to hold and less likely to slip even when your taking snaps

Heavier than the S2

The Smart Stay will drain your battery life

The S voice even works when music is playing

The S voice wont answer you back

Pop up player's seperate video window is very tiny

The Pop Up Player is the best bet for video conferencing while doing some essential tiny tasks

An optical zoom is absent

You wont notice even a slight lag when switching between home screens and launching apps

You can pre-configure photos to be automatically sorted out and placed in ideal groups based on such criteria as faces, contacts or location

All Share PLay, wireless transfer to all other connected devices

The camea app will deliberately choose the best shot from a bunch of photos taken with the Burst Mode, analysing smile detection, blink detection, contrast and blurring

Face Zoom, tap on a face when shooting a crowd shot and the camera will zoom in automaticlly.

The Social Tag instinctly figure out faces from any pics and automatically offer to text the image to the people featured in the image. But be careful, it wont fix Moods

'Buddy Photo Share', displays social media profiles directly on a photograph when those faces are recognised

Flipboard

No black version

Outdated design

Wireless charging

Allshare Cast which lets you put whatever is on your screen on a larger display like a TV

The Best Shot mode only takes eight photos to choose the best one from

With A-GPS turned off, GPS receiver takes few minutes to get a satellite lock

Voice-guided navigation

When you plan a route to stride on with the GPS app, Navigation caches the needed maps beforehand and keeps them in stock. So a data connection is only required when you initiate the planning of the path. The Reroute option enables you to detour off the pre determined course without connecting to the Net

Can send and fetch contacts to the SIM and from the SIM

The imported contacts from the SIM arent displayed along with the phone memory entries

Lag in boot

The phone book finds and joins duplicate contact entries

A kiss from Russia;

Smart Dial Voice dialing is powered by S Voice

My files file manager reads the memory card and the internal storage but doesnt favour the system drive

Either S Voice or Google's native voice recognition app can be used for texting instead of typing

Music square; the new mood fixer

The camera uses the same field of view either you're recording 1080p or 720p videos

The video subtitle files are well catered. Each time you play a subtitled video you dont have to name the relevant subtitle file so that it bear the same name as the video file. It shows a list of subtitle files that available and let you pick the right one

With the Menu key, you can conduct a Google search. But it needs a long press

Tap on a contact, all the available details are displayed

The second tab in the Phonebook shows the accumulated social data of contacts including updates etc

S Voice does the work of a calculator too

The S voice can be activated by voice. Just try "Hi Galaxy" or "Hi Buddy" (it supports custom made onces too, but put your stinky custom tailored trousers away from it)

The S voice can solely depend on voice commands from the very activating. But it severely drains the battery

You can S voice and drive but dont drink meanwhile

S Voice does search the net, make calls, send texts, do notification area toggles, control the music player, look up weather and traffic , set timers and alarms, snooze them, launch apps, take pictures (just say "Cheese!" when your in the cam app), update social status and look up facts

While dictating S voice to write things down, dont overload it with all the fancy command stuff in your head. It will crash on your palm

The speech to text transcription doesnt come close to Siri

The fact machine; the Wolfram Alpha which empowers Siri's answers, is in charge of handling S voice's factology. In case your curious, it only pulls out the relevant databits out of Alpha and will show you more details only if you have the necessity to have a look at more. It totally differs from Siri which pulls all the information once

With the built in Gmail app you can archive, label and delete emails in batch. In inbox, swiping left or right makes it easy to move between messages

Can do voice commands right on the lockscreen

The video player has three crop modes. Tune in until one fits your taste and the screen most

Full fledged PowerPoint presentations are served (and editable too)

Task switcher provides a screen shot for each running app

No dedicated search button

To kill an app in the Task Switcher, all you have to do is swipe the app left or right

Can view newly downloaded apps seperate in App Drawer

From now on, your editing on a 4.8-inches large HD Super AMOLED display. It will be easier than with any other tiny display to do that

Vector maps are lighter. Wont eat much data

Kies Air; it connects to Wi-Fi or will create a Wi-Fi hotspot if necessary and hand over you an URL generously. Type it in the address bar of your PC web browser and then onwards, you can manage contacts, messages, compose messages, view images, videos, brows files from your very desktop browser

In the app drawer, you can rearrange icons or list them alphabetically

No one click access to the task switcher, have to press and hold the home button

The Google Play Store is easy to navigate than ever before with easy to scrollable tabs and categories like featured, top paid, top free, top grossing, top new paid, top new free and trending etc

Some of the Apps in the Google Play Store has demo videos too

You can also figure out how dominant or capable of apps are by checking out comments, ratings and the number of downloads in the Store
