HOW TO TURN OFF 4G IN ANDROID??

Change the settings of your phone to connect only to the CDMA network and stop it from searching for 4G networks.



Many new Verizon Android phones are 4G compatible phones but, as of the publishing of this article, 4G service is only available in a select number of cities. When there is no 4G service, these phones roll back to using the available 3G network. While this can work well, it does create two problems:
1.It drains your batteries as the phone searches to connect to a 4G service. Most smartphone users have experienced an increased battery drain when their phone is in an area with no or limited network coverage, because the phone still automatically scans for a 4G network to connect to. This still applies to 4G phones that are connected to a 3G network. This auto-searching is a consistent battery drain.
2.It sometimes causes problems sustaining your network connection. There are a few known issues with Verizon 4G compatible phones that are connected to 3G networks. Here's an article that describes a quick fix solution,  but the issue continues to adversely effect numerous Verizon 4G capable phone owners.
Fortunately, there are two methods to control whether or not your phone searches for an available 4G network. Turning off the auto-search function will increase battery life and may eliminate several of the network connectivity issues.
Method One (Verizon)

1.Open your phone dialer and dial "##778# then hit your "Send or Call" button.
2.A pop up will appear that will give you two choices: "Edit Mode or View Mode." Choose "Edit Mode."
3.Once you choose the "Edit Mode," you will be prompted for a password to continue. Enter "000000" for the password.
4.Scroll down to "Modem Settings" and select "Rev A" from the options listed.
5.Then change the setting from eHRPD to "Enable."
6.Hit "OK" to save your edits.
7.Press your phone's Menu button and click on "Commit Modifications."
8.Your phone will reboot and will no longer auto-search for any available 4G networks.
When Verizon rolls out 4G service in your area, follow the same steps but choose "LTE" from the Modem Settings.
Method Two
The developers at Cunning Logic have developed and released an app that is available for no cost in the Android Market. Connect to the market and search for their LTE onoff application. 
Once installed, this app gives you the ability to easily and quickly select whether or not your phone searches for any available 4G networks

MORPH CONCEPT

THE MORPH CONCEPT:

Launched alongside The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) – nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.

Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:

• Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
• Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
• Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
• Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
• Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices

In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.

Flexible & Changing Design

Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.

A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.

Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.

Self-Cleaning

Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity. Nanostructured surfaces, such as “Nanoflowers” naturally repel water, dirt, and even fingerprints utilizing effects also seen in natural systems.

Advanced Power Sources

Nanotechnology holds out the possibility that the surface of a device will become a natural source of energy via a covering of “Nanograss” structures that harvest solar power. At the same time new high energy density storage materials allow batteries to become smaller and thinner, while also quicker to recharge and able to endure more charging cycles.

Sensing The Environment

Nanosensors would empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to gaining insight into bio-chemical traces and processes. New capabilities might be as complex as helping us monitor evolving conditions in the quality of our surroundings, or as simple as knowing if the fruit we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it. Our ability to tune into our environment in these ways can help us make key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance our health.

SMART??

Though we got enough smart phones,,,

This period it’s time another golden era,

Yes this time Smart watches, gonna ROCK!!!!!!!

Worldwide, the market for smart watches has grown from 500,000 in 2013, to over 5 million by the end of 2014.These devices – which function as wearable computers – are the most important new product category in consumer electronics since the iPad.

Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung are among the firms launching a variety of stylish, hi-tech watches, incorporating a myriad of new hardware and software features to boost their appeal to consumers. Among the most popular uses are in health and wellness monitoring, sports and fitness. The market for traditional watches is being disrupted by the added functionality of this new generation.

NOKIA 160 -LOW BUDGET MOBILE

Nokia has just unveiled two new featurephones - the Nokia 106 and Nokia 107 Dual SIM. The former features quad-band GSM network support, while the latter is dual-band for both SIM cards. Both are built around a 1.8" 65k-color TFT display and run the Series 30 platform.

The similarities between the two phones continue in the design department. They both measure 112.9mm x 47.5mm x 14.9 mm and sport dust- and spill- resistant keyboards as well as FM radio receivers and a LED flashlights.

The Nokia 107 Dual SIM weighs a tad more at 75.8 grams because of its larger 1020 mAh battery, which allows it to survive 36 days of stand-by. The Nokia 106 packs an 800mAh battery but comes pretty close with a rated stand-by time of 35 days. Its weight isn't too much off either at 74.2 grams.

On top of that, the Nokia 107 Dual SIM features an microSD card slot that supports cards of up to 16GB. Nokia says customers can save up to 3,000 songs on it and enjoy music playback endurance of 34.8 hours.

JELLY BEAN 4.3

Welcome to Android 4.3, a sweeter version of Jelly Bean!

Android 4.3 includes performance optimizations and great new features for users and developers. This document provides a glimpse of what's new for developers.

See the Android 4.3 APIs document for a detailed look at the new developer APIs.

Faster, Smoother, More Responsive

Android 4.3 builds on the performance improvements already included in Jelly Bean — vsync timing, triple buffering, reduced touch latency, CPU input boost, andhardware-accelerated 2D rendering — and adds new optimizations that make Android even faster.

For a graphics performance boost, the hardware-accelerated 2D renderer now optimizes the stream of drawing commands, transforming it into a more efficient GPU format by rearranging and merging draw operations. For multithreaded processing, the renderer can also now use multithreading across multiple CPU cores to perform certain tasks.

Android 4.3 also improves rendering for shapes and text. Shapes such as circles and rounded rectangles are now rendered at higher quality in a more efficient manner. Optimizations for text include increased performance when using multiple fonts or complex glyph sets (CJK), higher rendering quality when scaling text, and faster rendering of drop shadows.

Improved window buffer allocation results in a faster image buffer allocation for your apps, reducing the time taken to start rendering when you create a window.

For highest-performance graphics, Android 4.3 introduces support for OpenGL ES 3.0 and makes it accessible to apps through both framework and native APIs. On supported devices, the hardware accelerated 2D rendering engine takes advantage of OpenGL ES 3.0 to optimize texture management and increase gradient rendering fidelity.

OpenGL ES 3.0 for High-Performance Graphics

---

Android 4.3 introduces platform support for Khronos OpenGL ES 3.0

, providing games and other apps with highest-performance 2D and 3D graphics capabilities on supported devices. You can take advantage of OpenGL ES 3.0 and related EGL extensions using either framework APIs or native API bindings through the Android Native Development Kit (NDK).

Key new functionality provided in OpenGL ES 3.0 includes acceleration of advanced visual effects, high quality ETC2/EAC texture compression as a standard feature, a new version of the GLSL ES shading language with integer and 32-bit floating point support, advanced texture rendering, and standardized texture size and render-buffer formats.

You can use the OpenGL ES 3.0 APIs to create highly complex, highly efficient graphics that run across a range of compatible Android devices, and you can support a single, standard texture-compression format across those devices.

OpenGL ES 3.0 is an optional feature that depends on underlying graphics hardware. Support is already available on Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 4, and Nexus 10 devices.

ANDROID LESSON-2

Android platform:

With Android's breadth of capabilities, it would be easy to confuse it with a desktop operating system. Android is a layered environment built upon a foundation of the Linux kernel, and it includes rich functions. The UI subsystem includes:

• Windows
• Views
• Widgets for displaying common elements such as edit boxes, lists, and drop-down lists

Android includes an embeddable browser built upon WebKit, the same open source browser engine powering the iPhone's Mobile Safari browser.

Android boasts a healthy array of connectivity options, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and wireless data over a cellular connection (for example, GPRS, EDGE, and 3G). A popular technique in Android applications is to link to Google Maps to display an address directly within an application. Support for location-based services (such as GPS) and accelerometers is also available in the Android software stack, though not all Android devices are equipped with the required hardware. There is also camera support.

Historically, two areas where mobile applications have struggled to keep pace with their desktop counterparts are graphics/media, and data storage methods. Android addresses the graphics challenge with built-in support for 2-D and 3-D graphics, including the OpenGL library. The data-storage burden is eased because the Android platform includes the popular open source SQLite database. Figure 1 shows a simplified view of the Android software layers.

Android Versions

Application architecture

As mentioned, Android runs atop a Linux kernel. Android applications are written in the Java programming language, and they run within a virtual machine (VM). It's important to note that the VM is not a JVM as you might expect, but is the Dalvik Virtual Machine, an open source technology. Each Android application runs within an instance of the Dalvik VM, which in turn resides within a Linux-kernel managed process, as shown below.

LOGO:

An Android application consists of one or more of the following classifications:

Activities

An application that has a visible UI is implemented with an activity. When a user selects an application from the home screen or application launcher, an activity is started.

Services

A service should be used for any application that needs to persist for a long time, such as a network monitor or update-checking application.

Content providers

You can think of content providers as a database server. A content provider's job is to manage access to persisted data, such as a SQLite database. If your application is very simple, you might not necessarily create a content provider. If you're building a larger application, or one that makes data available to multiple activities or applications, a content provider is the means of accessing your data.

Broadcast receivers

An Android application may be launched to process a element of data or respond to an event, such as the receipt of a text message.

An Android application, along with a file called AndroidManifest.xml, is deployed to a device. AndroidManifest.xml contains the necessary configuration information to properly install it to the device. It includes the required class names and types of events the application is able to process, and the required permissions the application needs to run. For example, if an application requires access to the network — to download a file, for example — this permission must be explicitly stated in the manifest file. Many applications may have this specific permission enabled. Such declarative security helps reduce the likelihood that a rogue application can cause damage on your device.
