Android 4.0 Features and Updates of Ice Cream Sandwich

          The Ice cream sandwich is much tastier than ice cream. The Android 4.0 is announced by Google. Android 4.0 is the most awaited version of Android. This version will bring an end to the Android fragmentation and make it one OS to run on all devices. From Budget class android phones to high end android tablets.

Features of Android 4.0

Android 4.0 is an OS which feels like an OS ‘designed’ for multiple devices. If offer great features to every user. It is more feature rich than any other previous android versions.

Android 4.0 has enhanced the user experience by new animations. Animations for unlocking the device (something we saw in Android tablets). Android also introduces a brand new typeface optimized for the high-resolution screens of Android tablets.

3Buttons

Android 4.0 drops a ‘soft’ button from the bazel ‘search’.So now there are only three buttons. the back button, home button and multi-tasking/recent apps button.

There is a System Bar and virtual buttons across all apps, which means that just the way your right click on PC to get access to more menu options you will now be able to do that with apps. These buttons will be dimmed for full-screen viewing.

With the new ‘multi-tasking’ button you can hop from one running app to another easily.

Revamped Home Screen Experience

The all new home screen for folders offer a new way for users to group their apps and shortcuts logically, just by dragging one app onto another. From the All Apps launcher, users can now simply drag an app to get information about it or immediately uninstall it, or disable a pre-installed app.

On smaller-screen devices, the home screen now includes a customizable favorites tray visible from all home screens. Users can drag apps, shortcuts, folders, and other priority items in or out of the favorites tray for instant access from any home screen.

Resize Widget

Another area where Apple is far behind Android is re-sizable widgets.Android 3.0 introduced re-sizable widgets, and 4.0 is taking it a step ahead. Now users can embed live application content directly through interactive widgets. Widgets let users check email, flip through a calendar, play music, check social streams, and more — right from the home screen, without having to launch apps. Widgets are re-sizable, so users can expand them to show more content or shrink them to save space.

Face It: Only You Can Unlock The Phone

Android 4.0 has added a new security feature which will not allow a thief to unlock your stolen phone. The phone will unlock the moment its front camera sees your face. Wow!

Lock Wont Lock You Out

Android 4.0 has added more flexibility. You now won’t have to unlock your phone to take a picture. You can see notifications even when the phone is locked. Of cource you will have to unlock the phone to read the mails. one more feature is that if you are listening to music you won’t have to unlock the phone if you want to manage the tracks or look at the album art.

Android 4.0 turns your phone into a ‘real’ camera and music player by removing ‘locks’ from between you and app.

The lock screens now let users do more without unlocking. From the slide lock screen, users can jump directly to the camera for a picture or pull down the notifications window to check for messages. When listening to music, users can even manage music tracks and see album art.

Voice Recognition and Voice Commands

Google has been experimenting with voice search and voice commands for a long time, The new voice input engine now offers a continuous ‘open microphone’ experience and streaming voice recognition. The new voice input engine lets users dictate the text they want, for as long as they want, using the language they want. Users can speak continuously for a prolonged time, even pausing for intervals if needed, and dictate punctuation to create correct sentences.

Android 4.0 brings a new revolution in the mobile space and the good news is — its all open source like HTML5!

Android 4.0 Features at a glance

• Roboto: new typeface called Roboto is here to rule the roost.
• Landscape Controls: The Galaxy Nexus opted to move the classic Android buttons onto the screen, but they smartly disappear when viewing video or in widescreen mode.
• Flexible Widgets: Ice Cream Sandwich’s stock widgets are resizable and more robust than previous versions. They also now occupy their own separate space in the app drawer.
• Folders: Dragging apps and contacts on top of each other create re-arrangeable folders a la iOS.
• Favorites Tray: Users can stow their favorite apps, links, and folders into a new Favorites tray for quick and easy access.
• Taking Screenshots: This one has been a long time coming. Hold down the power button and the volume down button to snap a screenshot.
• Notifications: Hefty revamp here, as the contents are much more customizable. Music controls have been integrated, and notifications are also easily dismissed with a quick swipe left or right.
• Improved Copy & Paste: Copying and pasting content is made much easier, as you can now move around entire blocks of text. Very useful.
• Face Unlock: One of the most ambitious is Ice Cream Sandwich’s new Face Unlock feature, which allows users to unlock their handsets just by looking into the front-facing camera.
• Enhanced Talk-to-Text: Voice input seems much smarter this time around, as it’s more accurate, requires less time, and even accounts for pauses.
• Browser: The stock browser now sports tabs, and it maxes out at 16. Web pages can now also be saved offline for later perusal, and users can directly request the desktop version of a site.
• Gmail: Gmail now supports two-line previews, and sports a new context-sensitive action bar at the bottom of the screen. Gesture support allows you to swipe left and right between emails.
• People App: A new spin on the contact list. The phone’s owner has their own profile, and people’s contact details are sourced from Google+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Users can define favorite contacts, and individual people can be placed on the homescreen or in folders for quick access.
• Calendar: Features a redesigned UI and includes pinch-to-zoom to vary the level of detail on a calendar page.
• Data Usage: Users can now drill down into their data usage over a certain period of time, including the ability to see which apps are the biggest data hogs and the ability to limit data usage to a certain threshold.
• Camera: There’s a lot to love here. It features image stabilization, improved autofocus, and integration with other apps for sending photos or instant upload to Google+. Oh, and who could forget built-in face detection, panorama and time lapse modes, and on-the-fly photo retouching and enhancements.
• Android Beam: An secure NFC-powered sharing platform that lets users share nearly any kind of content, save for applications (in that case, a link to the Market is sent instead)

ChatON by - Samsung brings free Messages to Android Phones

            Samsung is launching their ChatON service today – a free service that lets you send text messages (including group chat), multimedia and even hand-drawn animated messages. The Android app is live now and there’s a Bada app incoming. Some feature phones are getting it too.

Basically, ChatON is Samsung’s answer to iMessage and BBM, with the added advantage of covering more platforms than just iOS and BlackBerry. Both platform will be supported by ChatON in the future. 

ChatON incorporates some social networking like features – for example, you can post messages to someone’s profile even when they’re offline, you have Interaction Rank, which shows how much you’ve talked to that person, and the Trunk feature (it collects all multimedia from a given conversation) lets you comment on items in it or pass them along to social networking sites.

The animation message lets you pick a photo for a background and finger-draw something on it.

Aside from a dedicated app, ChatON will also work through a browser (that doesn’t seem to be enabled just yet), which will allow people to use the service as a general IM on their computers and will let platforms without an official app to join in too.

The premium feature of iMessage is the seamless integration with regular SMS messages. It’s not clear how well ChatON will do in that department on the various Android UI modifications and on other OSes.

You can find out how well it works on your Android right now (download ChatON from the Android Market or Samsung Apps). Or you can play the interactive game/movie Chat Away first, to get a feel of what ChatON is like.

Bada and select feature phones will come with ChatON preloaded starting this month (three Wave phones already have it) and other platforms should be able to join by the end of this year. There’s no info on when iOS and BlackBerry can join in (they can use the browser-based ChatON until a dedicated app launces).

The migration of services to the unified Tata Docomo brand will happen in Delhi-NCR and in other circles at a later date. This will not impact TTL’s Indicom, Photon and Walky consumers in Delhi as they will continue to get the same quality of service as in the past.

Turn PC Into Virtual WiFi Hotspot

             WiFi HotSpot Creator is a handy tool to create a WiFi hotspot and share your internet connection, so WiFi enabled devices like laptops, smart phones, and tablets, can connect to internet via PC. It auto-enables the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) option of your current connection to seamlessly turn your PC into a WiFi hotspot; you don’t have to go through the tiresome process of opening Network & Sharing Center.

Just launch the tool, enter the connection name and passphrase to create your WiFi hotspot. Moreover, it creates WPA/WPA2 PSK based secured connection, allowing you to connect those WiFi enabled devices which cannot connect with wireless ad-hoc network.

To share your internet connection, first enter the name of WiFi hotspot and then enter a minimum 8-digit password in the Passphrase field. Now from NIC drop down menu, select the internet connection which you want to share.

Once done, click Start to create your WiFi hotspot.

              During testing, we did not find any issues. However, it attempts to install a toolbar in your browser without asking for permission. It must be noted that if the application is not working on your PC, you might have to upgrade your network adapter, as older adapters do not support creating virtual WiFi hotspot.

How to Remove Inactive Friends from Google+ Circle

               Google+, the social networking service was well received by the audience, but it seems like there has been in a drop in the usage of Google+ in the past few days. When you created your account, you might have added lot of your friends to circles, but many of these friends might be inactive or signed up just for exploring Google+. If you have added large number of people to Google+. then it is difficult to spot who all are inactive (which means with very low posting or no posting). UnCircle+ is a nice extension for Google Chrome which allows you to easily search and remove inactive friends from your circle.

Once the extension is installed, it fetches the complete list of your friends whom you have added to your circles. You can also search for friends in any particular circle as well. In the next step the extension, you can select inactive friends, either based on no posts (default) or you can select posting since a date (date can be selected using the calendar).

Once the extension lists all your friends, you can select the ones which you want to remove and hit the Remove selected button.

This is useful for people who have reached their limit of maximum of 5000 people to circles. Nevertheless, not all of the people in your circles are active. Therefore, you end up having lots of inactive people in your circles which only count towards your quota. This extension is a perfect solution for this problem.
