Infographics from HTC explains why your Android-based smartphone is unlikely upgraded next year - Computerra-line

Mobile
Author: Nikolai Masluhin December 31, 2013

One of the main problems as Android system – the impossibility for most phones get upgraded to the latest version of the OS. Yes there until the last! If you believe Google, then Android 4.1 running 37.4% of users, and it is, think, minus two versions of the actual. Why does it happen? The company HTC, once letting out on a couple dozen models per year, presented the great infographic that explains the situation.

at the big picture – the three types of phones are: operator (for our country, it is irrelevant), enabled the so-called model Google Edition, that is as close to “naked» Android.

Ying ; fografika from HTC on explained with this fact, poche & # x43C; from your Android-the smartphone & # x43D; unlikely to renew , ed to include & # x43C; year

As seen, even in the case of models with Google Edition, when intervention products in the minimum code system, the firmware runs at least 8 stages of work. Well, in case of sale of operating units (namely operators in the U.S. and Europe are the main sales channels) work on iOS grows up to 12 steps.

If we multiply the volume

get work done on the number of issued manufacturer phones, it becomes clear that none of the companies will not spend so much effort to support older devices. This is simply not profitable. Wiser to throw programmers to develop firmware for a couple of fashion flagships, and a dozen new models. That is why many phones even eminent manufacturers stop getting significant updates in the first year of his life.

interesting that, contrary to popular opinion, completion branded skins like Sense (in this case, Samsung TouchWiz) not greatly complicates the work on the firmware. Just one more step.

Tools month. Review of applications Android-December - BBC News

In the last month of the year Vesti.Haytek continued to monitor the news and updates Android-applications that appear on the virtual store shelves Google Play. For monthly collections we tested the best of them, including not only useful tools, but also a couple of games to play.

AllCast
to Western Christmas AllCast app came out of beta and stable version appeared in Google Play. This program, created by one of the developers Kushik Dutta, allows you to broadcast images and video with the Android-phone or tablet to the TV screen. AllCast application works with a huge number of devices that support DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), as well as Apple TV, Google TV (Logitech Revue), consoles Roku, console Microsoft Xbox (360 and One), Samsung TV and Panasonic Smart TV, etc. etc. Say Dutta sure one day AllCast will be compatible with its own “Googley” “telebrelkom” Chromecast.

But music streaming will only appear in a later release of this application for OS Android, which, as now, must be version 4.0 or later. Note that AllCast able to work with technology that supports “apple” standard AirPlay, which uses a network of Wi-Fi. This fact can be especially glad “apostates” exchanged iOS to Android, which remained on the farm now seemingly unnecessary “iron”, for example, AirPlay-dynamics.

After starting AllCast determines whether you have compatible equipment. In application settings, you simply select the device where you will be “Stream”, and, of course, the content itself (image or video) that you want to display on the TV screen. How it works is easy to understand from the video, he commented that the program developer.

The free version AllCast while watching less than one minute, and to lift this restriction and also get rid of the annoying ads, you should purchase a key – AllCast Premium for $ 4.99 (164.57 rubles) .

Now virtually any gadget (the main thing that the Android version does not fall below 2.3) can determine where the lost device remotely lock it or wipe the data on it. But in order to activate this feature on a potential “poteryashke” we must first run the application “Settings Google” and by section Remote Android “, tick the option” Remote Device Search “and” Remote lock and reset. “In Android 4.1 and more later versions require pre allow access to their geospatial data (if it was not provided earlier).

After launching Android Device Manager on Google will show the approximate location devaysa, if included, of course. A tapa after the title lost smartphone or tablet can be seen and time it was last used.

If the device was lost at home, it’s easy to “ping”. In this case, the device will emit a nasty beep at full volume for five minutes, even if up to that was in the vibration mode or the sound was off. By the way, turn off this “siren” Only the power button.

If the device is left somewhere outside the home, enough to start to do a lock, but if it is clear that the device is stolen, immediately recommended to resort to drastic measures. Cleaning function removes applications, photos, music and other information on the device and restore the factory settings. Note that the data from the SD-card is not removed. But all these bailouts will help only “poteryashke” working with the mobile Internet or Wi-Fi.

[The competition] How to set up 4G from Beeline on Android. Use ShowServiceMode - Ferra

  • Developer : Jaken’s laboratory
  • Price : 58,32 rubles
  • Tested on : Samsung Galaxy S4 active
  • Google Play : view

Recently, the market has a lot of smartphones with support for 4G. But despite the fact that the big three labored comprehensive LTE, take full advantage of this type of communication may just not all. You can certainly talk about politics in small companies, the boundless love Beeline with Apple, the boundless zeal and MegaFon about trying to sublimate this jealousy with Samsung, but sometimes it happens much touchdowns.

So, at Samsung (and other Android) has a problem. Due to lack of proper firmware pampered high-speed Internet could, until recently, only the owners of contracts from Megafon. But we can, and Beeline subscribers.

Not so long ago in my hands was a cute” baby »- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Great, like, model – and underwater shoots, and dust / dirt and everything else is protected – but connect on this devayse 4G from Beeline proved quite difficult. The fact that the phone settings simply no choice cherished network.

 The absence ; consequence 4G on Samsung Galaxy

to dance with a tambourine, I still managed to undoubtedly find one useful application – ShowServiceMode. Frankly, for me and for the Support of Beeline, and even the “experts” from Samsung, it was a revelation. A cheap small utility allows you to quickly get into the “secret” phone settings and activate the same 4G, which just does not want to run with bilaynovskoy Simcoe.

utility called

When you start the application you will see here this screen:

first screen

Then you need to press «Run with above settings choosed». She even let you run the basic settings. The first step here is a screen will appear.

It is necessary to sequentially select« LTE Band Prefences »

and then «Band Pref: LTE ALL»

Thereafter device miraculously begins to catch 4G …

If you are out of coverage 4G, it is necessary to find a place where it will catch and wait smartphone registers in the network.


Rest easily fixable. Again we go into the program and click successively «Automatic» and «Automatic» (see screenshots below)

Everything after that our device itself will choose the correct network depending what kind of signal is available.

I must say, since the phone just flies, despite assurances from the “producer” that works for 4G, we have to wait another month or two until our “Korean friends” did not give birth to the new firmware. Now I use and incredibly pleased with it. I hope that will help you. The case for small – go out and buy mobilku with 4G …

Android – a real spy in your pocket. FotoKompaniya Google knows the passwords to all the wireless networks in the world.

most popular applications for Android, iOS and Windows Phone

Google, Inc. from its inception, has denied all the axioms of business, managed to build a thriving business on free products. The best search, mail, many other services are available to users free of charge, but at the same time, bring us a good income. So Google, instead of money, takes us something else?

Exactly. We pay for the use of products of their attention and their private information. I once wrote an article about how Google collects data about us in the network. And today we will focus on another aspect of this issue, as mobile devices with Android on board spying on their hosts.

your travels History

Android default tracks the location of your phone. It uses this information to make your life easier, for example, Google Now will show you the weather, attractions and routes from your location. He may also use this data to allow you to track a lost phone on the Internet using the Android Device Manager.

same time it means that Google knows where and when you were with your phone. And be sure that these data are accumulated and stored neatly. And even if you turn off the GPS, your location will still be fairly accurately determined using nearby Wi-Fi networks and cell phone towers.

way, you do come up with a rather complicated password to his mantle? Tried in vain. Only one tick in the settings of your backup data sent superslozhnyh your password in Google. This company knows the passwords to all the wireless networks in the world, not bad, right?

letters, contacts and events

Android provides a really convenient service to synchronize your email, calendar and notes Address Book between different devices. However, this by itself means that all the data is stored on company servers. Whether they are destroyed after the steel you do not need, or being reserved indefinitely, forming a digital print of your life? Obviously, the latter.

passwords, history sites, search queries

Mobile Chrome is a good browser, who gladly use very many. And if you use even a desktop version of the program, you get the opportunity to virtually seamless transition between different devices, because all your data is automatically pulled up and synchronized. Yes, the servers Google, of course. This means that you, out of kindness, sharing all their passwords, interests and hobbies with one very curious now.

Photos

company makes extremely great efforts to promote its social service Google+. Gradually, more and more products and services integrated into Google+, and not far off when you will no longer get out of the setting of the respective client. This means that all your fotochki will automatically be loaded on servers Google, linked with your name and saved.

What about SMS and calls?

That this until everything is in order. When using standard programs, no data about your conversations and correspondence will not be sent. However, in the latest version of Android 4.4 Kit Kat, in place of the usual messages came Google Hangouts, so that the option backup history of your communication is, I think, is not far off. Solely for the convenience and safety of users, by itself.

Should we fear and what to do?

If you look objectively and call a spade a spade, it must be admitted that Google has successfully built the perfect global tracking system for its users. And if using an ordinary computer, we can somehow control the flow of data collected about us, then with a mobile gadget that is always with us, much more difficult to handle. While most people are familiar mantra calms himself: “I’m a little man, to me nobody cares” and “I have nothing to hide”, no one knows when and who will use your data. And for what purpose.

So it is better to keep this process under control and follow a few simple rules.

1. Clearly realize that no privacy of any network, nor in life. Every step you take can be fixed, figured out and sent to storage until a suitable opportunity.

What to expect from Android 4.4.2?

2. Try not to use the products of one company. If there is a choice, then give preference to third-party solutions.
