How to live without the “Prism” for Android? – Mobile-review

Imagine a simple picture – you’re a good, good guy or a girl, you have a family and friends. Some of them are the usual push-button phones, others – smartphones on Android, while others – probably, Apple devices. You live well and properly communicate with all their friends, and those who are sitting on the “android”, and those who like “iPhone”. “Prism” has not yet appeared. Since then, about any normal dialogue with the owners of Apple iPhone out of the question, because they are all free time spent on converting your photos in Prisma application and demonstration to you and everyone else. You as a good smartphone users on Android can not afford the same, because the Prisma for Android is not ready (yet). How to live on? There is an answer!

Especially for you (actually, for myself), I spent the whole day searching Prisma unique application for Android. Installed and tested for more than ten different (awful) programs have tried online services, and even applications for Windows (for PC, yes!) That need to be installed. Almost every application and service, in addition, required to register. In short, it was not easy! But now I can give an authoritative opinion. The good news is that the owners of Android smartphones can join the general (global) hysteria transform photographs into paintings are stylistically similar to the pictures of famous artists. The bad – for that you’ll need at least a browser on a smartphone, but rather just a laptop or computer, because a worthy analogue of the Prisma application – an online service deepart.io

As in the Prisma, the service processes the images using neural networks – you upload the image and specify what style it should be performed, then the system redraws it in the specified style. The difficulty is that each such operation service spends a lot of time. In the case of Prisma no data reveals how serious the power involved in order to allow users to virtually in real time to get ready to work. In the case of deepart.io it shows that the power is not the most impressive. In the processing of one image is still half a year ago, the service took up to two days, today is much better – free treatment takes 20-30 minutes, paid – 10-15 minutes. In this case the output you get a small picture (preview) about 600 × 400 pixels. If desired, you can buy it in high resolution (HD) for £ 20, or in a very high resolution for huge money -. 150 lbs

the thing is really interesting, however, the Prisma’s popularity is so high and so users are now actively using the application that many of these processed photographs flooded the social networks already podnadoest. But if you also want to try and “iPhone” not at hand, then deepart.io – good option

PS In early July, the developers promise to release Prisma version for Android. Oh, we’ll live!

Google wants to control the production of smart phones on the Android platform – BBC News

Google plans to more tightly control the production of standard smartphones on the Android platform. What this means for consumers who are tipped to technical partners and when to expect the first truly real “Google Phone”?

Google, may release a smartphone under its own brand, and, at the end of this year. This was reported by the British newspaper Telegraph. She refers to the leakage of cellular operators with which the Google reportedly in talks to certification of its smartphone. Thus, if you believe the rumors, Google, in fact, is going to enter into direct competition with Apple as a manufacturer of mobile devices.

This is most likely talking about the premium segment, in which Android is clearly losing competitor, despite on the dominant position in the market as a whole. Partially confirmed this version and another leak, which appeared at the end of last year. According to the newspaper “The Information”, Google has entered into direct negotiations with manufacturers of microchips for Android-devices. In particular, the leakage refers to such giants like Qualcomm. According to rumors, the company from Mountain View want to directly control the chipset release to best optimize them for your device

In fact, if all this is true, for the sake of it -. For the sake of optimization – Google and is taking the steps above. Obviously, no one does not develop Android system like Google. And some of the new features the company wants to bring to the market earlier than others. Actually, it’s a little hint in an interview Recode CEO of Google Sundar Pichai.

“Today, when we deliver the Nexus Phone, we supply a pure Android. But soon you will see how we are adding more and more new features on top Android on Nexus Phone we have many software innovations that we can implement. “- he says

For example, VR-platform Daydream, which is built on Android N. The This is an extremely energy-intensive thing and that. to implement it properly in some particular phone would be nice to have a full control over the development and production of his software, and at hardware component.

it is hardly a coincidence that this year, Google has hired the former president of Motorola Rick Osterloh, who just had to lead at hardware division of the company. It is, inter alia, supervises and development nexus. At the same time, he Sundar Pichai, in the same interview, flatly denied that Google would develop their own phones.

However, perhaps there is no contradiction in the words of leaks and Sundar Pichai, really, no. Next Nexus manufacturer – HTC is a company that has managed to have even a little “light” of the new device specifications. Given the critical situation of the Taiwanese producer, he will do anything for a partnership with Google, which can be the salvation for him. Not only to provide full control of development and production, but even perhaps to remove the device from your logo and replace it with Google. At the same time, as promised Sundar Pichai, the smartphone will be manufactured Google.

In general, the rumors around his own Googley phone ply has, at least since the autumn of last year, when, according to the leaks, the company wished to get “more control “of the Nexus Phone manufacturing. How then wrote the newspaper, “in the style of Apple.” According to initial assumptions, the unit had to be called Pixel Phone, by analogy with the Chromebook the Pixel, which Google has released under its own brand.

Another device under the brand name of the company, which may see the light in the near future, a modular smartphone Ara. It is, however, no earlier than 2017 year. The last decoupling intrigue we see already next autumn – it was then, as he promised on Google, the market will have a new machine with support for all the latest software development company

As before the sale of Android-smartphone really remove all the personal data – DELFI.lv

You are mistaken if you think that the smart phone running Android is enough to perform “reset” settings on the “factory” – and all your personal files will be permanently removed.

As researchers have pointed out repeatedly, the user tells the system “daring”, it actually does not delete anything. It marks only the physical space, which was previously occupied by the files marked “here can be written-that.” If “over” nothing was written, then, having the right and not too sophisticated tools, these files can be read as if they were not removed (well, most of them).

So if you give or sell your old “droid” and “at the end” would be quite curious and trained person, it is effortlessly able to assume many of your supposedly deleted photos, videos, documents, etc. ., Etc.

The nearest analogy is with throwing papers in the trash – putting them in a basket in the office, you do not get rid of all papers, because in acute desire to “lost” quite easily return. And even from the tank in the yard, too (well, if you really need). And only when the paper be loaded into a car and taken away far away, mixed with tons of other waste – if and only if it is safe to say that from the documents you got rid of almost all

Since the “roll into a garbage truck” personal. files on Android?

encrypt smartphone

All current versions of Android (since Gingerbread, ie 2.3.x) supports full encryption of “disk”. The sixth version of encryption is even enabled by default. To get to the settings and turn on the encryption can be on this (or similar, depending on the manufacturer) path: Settings & gt; Security & gt; . Encrypt phone

The smartphone is likely to ask you to use all the time full password “razlochivaniya” device – this is the main reason why many do not encrypt the contents of their “Droid”, because it is very much tedious to enter each time this combination . However, in this case, the password should not be an obstacle – you encrypt the contents of the smartphone only once

And then follow the normal reset procedure on the “factory” (Factory Reset), as do all human beings before. how to give away or sell your Android someone built. After completing this striking combination of encryption and reset all the settings, you are, in fact, do not just throw away their “office documents” in the trash – you have previously run them through a shredder. Restore from scraps of documents is possible, but very, very hard.

Overwrite data

If you really have something to hide and you suspect that for smartphone content hunts NSA USA, then you can to go even further. Please encrypt a smartphone, then reset to factory settings, and then – attention – take another step that’s for sure, and 100% “overwrite” data

Re-enable smartphone, set it up without getting into. Google his uchetku, including video recording and video clips hammer all the available space.

Then again encrypt a smartphone and once again reset all settings to factory default. All congratulations – now your files to exactly no one gets. Even the US NSA. At least, until your files that are on your phone …

What do iPhone owners?

In all iPhone encryption is already included so that users of Apple products lucky. In addition, we have already written to them a large text, which gathered everything you need to know: “Cooking the old iPhone for resale or exchanged for iPhone 6s – eight steps”

Huawei creates a home-grown alternative to Android – BBC News

The Chinese manufacturer Huawei Electronics is developing its own operating system for mobile devices. According to the website The Information referring to informed sources, the new project supervised by Abigail Brodie, former Apple designer. She is also working on improving the current Android-shell Huawei Emotion UI.

As the newspaper notes, Huawei took for the development of home-grown operating system “in the event of unforeseen circumstances” – for example, if Google suddenly make unacceptable conditions Android licensing. After the failure of Windows Mobile Internet search engine, in fact, turned out to be a monopolist in the market of mobile operatsionok. Recently, the EU authorities charged him, related to the fact that the company had abused its dominant position to impose the application and enjoyed manufacturers its own terms

To weaken the dependence on Android for a long time trying to Samsung, which actively develops and supports the Tizen project -. OS open source software, built on the basis of the Linux kernel. The Korean manufacturer has released a Tizen based on several smartphones, digital cameras, premium TV, as well as “smart” watches Gear 2. Nevertheless, the Samsung platform is that it is not in high demand among buyers no, no developers because applications for Tizen created incomparably less than Android.

Huawei makes a very good “hardware”. For example, recently it has manufactured for Google’s flagship smartphone Nexus 6P with “clean” All Android, which has been awarded high praise. However, when it comes to software, the company is often criticized.

Honor 5X with superstructure EMUI 3.1, for example, was criticized for “Far East” flavor, far from the original Android standards, and interface, painted in yellow (this is customers receive a golden model), not everyone will like it. In an interview with The Information Brody said she was going to fix “glaring cosmetic problems” and “pain points” Huawei’s proprietary add-ons

So far, Android! Do we need any other mobile OS world? – Mobiltelefon.Ru

The Bubble Android sooner or later burst. It seems to grow more than ever, because nearly 90% of mobile devices is available on this system, and the remaining share persistently keeps iOS. How long it will be? Once upon a time Symbian rule the mobile world, but Android and iOS have left no trace on the system, and for a few moments. Now the market is maturing, if not something like that, something no less disturbing.

The news of the day was the fact that Huawei is preparing its own operating system to come out of Nokia. This is the number three brand in the world in smartphone sales, and the construction of an alternate aerodrome sober strategic decision appears to be safe. His system has the Samsung and at LG, it’s not a news. According to rumors, Sony is working on even branded mobile system design based on the Vita OS, but its current status is unknown. The common denominator here is simple: Google’s relationship is not satisfied with the company. Samsung did not release Android-TV and recently refused to from the clock on the Android Wear, making both places a bet on Tizen. LG’s TVs will do the same, but with the WebOS, and watch launches on Android and experimenting with all of the same WebOS. One wrong move and the Google system will replace in the Android device manufacturers, and here it is – a variety of systems, which do not have enough

Not only dependent on Google’s secretly trying or have tried to make a third world mobile system!. Serve high hopes, Windows Phone from Microsoft as a result of being sprung and almost buried, and BlackBerry 10 will still be supported by a couple of years, but that’s it. Firefox OS is closed, Ubuntu Touch still somehow moving, and relies on community Linux users. Relatively good feeling Sailfish OS and Amazon Fire OS, but the latter appears only a branch of Android, and the first has not yet gone beyond emerging markets and incomprehensible gestures with the Russian government. In the world of mobile systems at the moment everything is relatively simple and easy. Return variety of platforms on the one hand spur competition, and on the other will only confuse and scare users. But maybe not.

For the most part, ordinary people no matter what platform is now working a gadget, if only it came out under the desired application. The lack of Windows Phone applications killed and BB10. Developing software is expensive, and the company did not begin overnight to rewrite their applications for all platforms at once. It will take more than one year, while the market is the new leader of the software will appear and survive yet another redistribution of the mobile market clearly can not all.

It is unlikely that in the near future someone will be able to present something really comparable in scale with Android, which is all tied to Google. They are not all smartphone users (there are also such, users who even on Google Play does not go), but many. Google The main problem is that the company relies heavily on partners and such a huge share of Android is obliged especially Samsung and Budgetary Chinese. Another problem is that a naked Android currently significantly behind the third-party skins and slowly absorbs their most successful features. Moving several major Android-producers on their platforms could swipe at Google, and the appearance of the variety of systems would put an end to the monopoly of Android.
