The difference between breaking and iOS, and Android

The first tablets and smartphones broke for two reasons. First of all, they wanted to increase the number of available applications and unlock hidden features. On the other hand, it was done also for fun. And how is it now?

Firstly I must say that I do not encourage anyone to break the software purchased equipment. In the case of the lightest lost in this way guarantee or simply spoils the device if it is able to later restore everything to stably. Only three years ago the word jailbreak did quite a stir whenever appeared new iOS. If he could remember even further word did quite a furore. Today, no one practically no one needs to break the iOS to get even access to MMS on the iPhone. Apple itself tempted to even the possibility of calling the iPad. Currently iOS is combine that simply did not like "lean", the first version of the system. A similar situation is doing with Android. Therefore, it is worth to tell the difference between a breaking device with those systems. Rootowanie Android differs from that of jailbreakowania iOS and in a fairly significant way. iOS giant from Cupertino is a closed system and breaking device with him on board allows to increase its capabilities, but does not alter the code in the system. This operation can be performed rootując Android system. Breaking iOS allows users to install applications that Apple does not has authorized. Formerly willing to use it was also able to modify system that natively were not available. On the other hand, Android, in addition to the aforementioned capabilities to maneuver is virtually unlimited. It can be said that Android has a basic version available for everything iOS user receives only after the break.

Zrootowane Android device gives you the option to take complete control over hardware. You can even completely remove the system and upload completely different – prepared by a specialist who attempted to create their own OS. Breaking Android can also tweak the CPU operation and perform a host of other activities that devices with iOS-I will never be available. An interesting will also be that Google encourages users to make changes, only warning of the danger of damage to the machine. On the other hand Apple in this matter it is extremely restrictive and completely does not allow for copyright modification. Today, so it's worth is still rootować Android device, but it is better not jailbreakować hardware from Apple. For the first gain unlimited possibilities, and to the other will lose, at best accident guarantee.

In addition, the tablet is nice and well-made, so it should long to meet in his role.

Well, think before you buy!

The tablet is cool, it's true, but if you're dealing with a person, which largely depends on the ability to read books, then you may want to consider the purchase of e-book reader? Such a device is very convenient because I have a small casing and screen imitating a real piece of paper, come here determines the price of everything. On the pages of our site we tested the reader PocketBook Touch Lux 3, whose price does not exceed 500 zł, and yet it has a screen e-ink Cortana – saturated and vibrant as known to all Kindle'u Paperwhite 3. The model also equipped with backlight, making Night owls will be able to quietly spend time reading your favorite e-book.

The Jolla Tablet: A Scam?

Open letter to Jolla community: through the though times

Well, I’m glad I didn’t push this one hard.

Comments at that post are brutal and frank.

Just three samples will do:

prometheus:

This is basically proof that tablet was the last thing that you had on your mind. Why did you create Jolla tablet campaign, and instead created Sailfish OS campaign? So we can say for a reason that you’ve tricked us. You wasted all the money on development of newer version of Sailfish instead of delivering what we paid…

And:

Moo-Crumpus

Earning money for tablets, but spending the money for software progress. I did not pay you for an software upgrade. Was the software necessary for the tablet? I don’t think so.

Therefore, afaik, this is a kind of embezzlement.

And:

Turbinenreiter

What are they lying about The crowdfunding money for the tablets wasn’t spent on the tablets.

It’s completely idiotic. They should have shipped the tablets, period. They had the money to do so. Nobody would have cared that the OS was still buggy and missing features. The community would have started hacking on it immediately and improved the OS.

Jolla used our money to build a closed source software product. We gave them our money to ship us a piece of hardware running Open Source software.

They screwed us over because they thought they can make more money by selling the OS to OEMs, than by selling hardware to us.

It’s obnoxious.

Boldfaced emphasis added by me — because he’s absolutely correct.

With over two million dollars raised, will this go down in the annals of Internet history as one of the biggest crowd-funding failures?

And what happens next? Bankruptcy? Can they release the source code for open source or is it tied up in legal ownership claims from investors?

This really just adds more poison to the well for other projects like this.

And I said it in my first post about them:

But what I don’t understand is this: Why build an entire tablet? Why not mimic Xiaomi and target a build of Sailfish for an existing tablet and offer it as firmware to flash? That’s how Xiaomi began, with MIUI for Android phones. Jolla wouldn’t have to begin with all the manufacturing headaches and they would have given people basically a real-life example of what their own tablet could be like. And then they could fundraise for it.

Exactly what they should have done.

Google Camera version 3.1 update brings new interface for devices running Marshmallow

If you’ve been keeping up with our coverage on the Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X, you may have noticed that the two new devices’ camera applications look a tad different than what’s found on the Nexus 5 or 6. If you’re the owner of a Nexus phone that’s running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and have become envious of this new camera UI, we have some good news for you. The Google Camera app is getting updated to version 3.1, bringing the revamped interface to all devices running Marshmallow.

With the new interface, switching between camera and video modes is a breeze – simply swipe right to switch to video mode, or swipe left for the camera. The new UI also makes it much easier to toggle the flash, timer mode and HDR+. All of the other camera options – Photo Sphere, Panorama, Lens Blur and Settings – are tucked away in an invisible hamburger menu found on the left side of the screen.

The new UI is about all you’ll get, though. The slow motion and burst shot modes that are normally found on the 6P and 5X aren’t included in the new update, which is definitely something we were hoping to see.









The version 3.1 update is now rolling out in the Play Store as we speak, so head to the link below for the download.

Elephone P8000 Version B aimed at North and Latin American markets

One of the issues Chinese phones normally have is the lack of LTE support for North America and Latin America. Elephone hope to overcome this with the new Elephone P8000 version B.

The Elephone P8000 Version B looks just like your standard Elephone P8000, so you have the large 5.5-inch display up front, and a fingerprint scanner on the rear, but under the hood a few changes have been made to add additional LTE support for North America and Latin America.

Elephone have unlocked LTE bands 2,4,7,17,38 on the Mediatek MT6753 chipset which should allow the phone to work on more networks around the world. It’s not been announced if any hardware changes have been made to the phone to acheive this or if it is a simple software optimisation.

Other than the added LTE support the rest of the hardware remains unchanged so 3GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, and a large battery. You can read our review of the standard Elephone P8000 here.

We will bring you news of the Elephone P800 Version B launch and pricing once it is made public.

More exciting news will be coming soon: www.elephone.hk
