WhatsApp Voice Calling Now Available to All Android Users

WhatsApp Voice Calling Now Available to All Android Users



To get this feature on your Android smartphone, all you need to do is download the latest version of WhatsApp from its website. The feature has appeared on WhatsApp version 2.12.5 in some smartphones, but most people will need the latest 2.12.19 version to get WhatsApp calling. The update has already started being pushed to Google Play as well, so just sit tight until it rolls out in your region or download the apk from the company site.
When the feature is activated on your smartphone, you will notice a new three-tab layout featuring Calls, Chats and Contacts. You can head to the Calls tab, tap the phone icon, and pick a contact to make your first WhatsApp call.

While the feature is available to Android users now, those on other platforms continue to wait. WhatsApp confirmed that the feature would be rolled out to iPhone users soon. There's no word yet about the feature when the feature will be available on other platforms. Until then, Android users with WhatsApp calls enabled won't be able to call WhatsApp users on other platforms. These people won't appear in the list of contacts that Android users can call. The long-awaited feature is finally available on one platform, and there's no more waiting for invite windows to open again.

Microsoft Lumia 830 and Lumia 930 Offer Rs. 7,000 Cashback

Microsoft Lumia 830 and Lumia 930 Offer Rs. 7,000 Cashback



The cashback on both the Lumia 830 and Lumia 930 smartphones can be availed by any consumer upfront via physical retail stores. Unfortunately, the company has not cleared whether the offer is only valid in official Microsoft stores across India or any physical retail store selling Microsoft's Lumia 830 and Lumia 930. We have contacted the company and will update the story once we receive a reply.
The Lumia 830 and Lumia 930 will be available at new prices of Rs. 21,800 and Rs. 31,600 respectively after the cashback offer.
To recall, Microsoft launched the Lumia 830 and Lumia 930 last year in India, priced at Rs. 28,799 and Rs. 38,649 respectively.
The Lumia 930 features an aluminium frame with metallic accents, and a curved polycarbonate back with Bright Orange, Bright Green, Black and White colours. It sports a 20-megapixel PureView camera, which has optical image stabilization (OIS) and Carl Zeiss optics, which can be considered as highlight of the device. A front-facing 1.2-megapixel wide-angle camera is on board as well.

Dell Venue 7

Dell Venue 7



Look and feel

This is a pretty slick-looking tablet. Its black plastic and rubber finish is definitely less premium than that of #Apple's iPad mini lineup, but at least you don't require a protective case. The first thing you'll notice is the bold concentric circle pattern on the back. It looks good and helps you grip the body even when using it with one hand - the only minor drawback is that particles of dust and lint tend to get trapped in the grooves.

#Android navigation buttons are all on-screen. The power button and headset socket are on top, with the Micro-USB port and volume buttons on the upper left. A fairly prominent speaker grille is on the bottom. The Micro-SIM and microSD card slots are hidden under a neat rubber flap on the right edge.


Specifications and software

#Dell has continued using Intel's Atom CPUs in its tablets, and the new Venue 7 is powered by an Atom Z3460, which is a dual-core, 64-bit processor running at speeds between 1.06GHz and 1.60GHz.
The screen still has a resolution of 800x1280, though part of it will almost always be occupied by a band for the soft navigation buttons. This isn't the sharpest screen around, but it's good enough for reading books, surfing the Web, playing games and watching videos on. The primary camera has a 5-megapixel sensor and no flash, while the one in front only has a 1-megapixel sensor.
There's 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. MicroSD cards of up to 64GB are supported. The Dell Venue 7 (2014) comes with Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0. 4G LTE is not supported on the bands used in India, so you're limited to 3G speeds. The battery is rated at 4,550mAh.

Performance

The Dell Venue 7 (2014) performed quite well in all our benchmarks and we noticed a massive leap in performance between last year's model and this one. The Quadrant score jumped from 7,698 to 10,338 and the AnTuTu score from 19,094 to 30,429 (though these scores aren't entirely comparable as AnTuTu has been updated since then). The frame rate in GFXBench improved from 13fps to a very solid 32fps, and 3DMark's Ice Storm Extreme rose from 3,643 to 8,935. SunSpider's score improved slightly from 986ms to 958.1ms. It seems that Intel's latest generation of Atom processors shows much greater improvement in the graphics subsystem than the CPU.

How to convert music and videos with VLC

How to convert music and videos with VLC

Also, you may end up with a converter that displays ads all over the interface.

Step 1: Head to Media > Convert/Save. Click Add and locate the file you wish to convert.


Step 2: Next to Profile, choose a format from the drop-down box. Make sure to pick a format supported by the device you want to play the end result on.

Amazon Fire HD 6 Tablet

Amazon Fire HD 6 Tablet

 

Amazon announced the Kindle Fire HD 6 back in September and released them about two weeks later. The HD 6 was announced alongside updated versions of the Fire HDX 8.9 and the Fire HD 7. The Fire HD 6 is new to the Kindle lineup. It’s a mid-range tablet with a low-end price. It’s only $99 and comes with 8GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM, and a 6-inch IPS LCD display.  

Hardware

The hardware on the HD 6 is pretty straightforward. It’s powered by an ARM Cortex-A15 quad-core processor clocked at 1.21GHz, 1GB of RAM, and comes with either 8GB or 16GB of internal storage. The tablet has a 2-megapixel camera on the back, although it’s not good for much. The IPS LCD display has a 1280 x 800 resolution, with a 252 ppi pixel density. The display isn’t bad, but it’s not great. It’s packing 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer. The HD 6 comes in five colors: Black, White, Cobalt, Magenta, and Citron. Everything with the HD 6 is about value. For $99, these specs are not too shabby.

Performance

With low-end specs, how does the Amazon Fire HD 6 perform? Surprisingly well. I had no issues downloading and watching movies, surfing the internet using Amazon’s Silk browser, reading books, and using Twitter. For day-to-day use, the HD 6 is perfectly fine. Switching between apps was smooth. I didn’t notice very many hiccups at all. The display resolution is just a little higher than 720p, so watching HD video was clear and sharp. On a 6-inch device, the difference between 720p and 1080p is not very noticeable, especially when you’re streaming video from Amazon Instant Video or Netflix.
  
Storage

Internal storage was an issue with the 8GB variant that I tested. After the OS and pre-loaded apps, you’re left with around 5GB of usable storage space. It doesn’t take long to fill that up. A few movies, a couple of games, and some books and apps, and that storage space is gone. Amazon is banking on you using cloud storage to keep your movies and photos off of the tablet. If you don’t opt for the 16GB of the Fire HD 6, expect to run out in short order.

Camera

The HD 6 has a 2-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing camera. The old saying that the best camera is the one you have doesn’t really apply here. You shouldn’t expect to get much in the way of quality shots from either camera.

Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch is Coming to Videotron

Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch is Coming to Videotron

 

Motorola unveiled the first round smartwatch, the Moto 360, in March 2014, but it took another six months before it was actually launched – early September in the US and the end of October in Canada.  It went to TELUS and was also available online at Future Shop on October 31, in either black or gray.  The Quebec-based Videotron is expecting the Moto 360 to be available on January 28 for $279 – the same price as TELUS.

The Moto 360 sports a 1.56-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 290 pixels and 205 pixels-per-inch (PPI), and the LCD display makes it easy to see outside in the daylight.  Moto chose to go with Texas Instruments for their processor, rather than the newer and faster Qualcomm Snapdragon series.  They did use 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage.  For power, they chose a 320mAh battery, that can be charged with the Moto 360’s wireless charging cradle.
The Moto 360 has the usual Bluetooth 4.0, a Gyro, Accelerometer, Compass, is IP67 certified dust and water resistant, a heart rate monitor, pedometer, ambient light sensor and two microphones.  Running Android Wear, the Moto 360 will work with ANY Android smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher.

WhatsApp on Your Desktop

WhatsApp on Your Desktop


WhatsApp announced the launch of WhatsApp Web on Wednesday, marking the official debut of the popular messaging app on non-mobile platforms. "Today, for the first time, millions of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your Web browser," the messaging app said announcing WhatsApp Web via a blog post.

WhatsApp has become ridiculously popular around the world, with over 700 million monthly active users, and while we've come to rely on the app as much as the next person, we've never liked the fact it can be accessed only on the phone. Yes, there are some workarounds for getting WhatsApp on a PC, but if, like us, you hate shuffling between the mobile and PC at work just to be able to use WhatsApp, WhatsApp Web will be music to your ears.

Simply head over to WhatsApp Web and as long as you are using Google Chrome, you'll be given a chance to scan a QR code on the desktop screen via the WhatsApp app on your mobile. Make sure you are using the latest version of WhatsApp on Android,
Windows Phone, or BlackBerry. If you are using WhatsApp on iPhone or wish to use a browser other than Chrome on your desktop, you are out of luck. At the time of filing this report, the version of WhatsApp for Android that supports this
feature was still in the process of being rolled out, so it's possible you may have to wait a while to get your hands on this feature. If you are amongst the lucky few who've been able to get in, let us know your experience with WhatsApp Web so far via the
comments.

Google Maps adds Waze traffic

Google Maps adds Waze traffic

 

Google Maps users can now get help avoiding traffic jams and mishaps courtesy of Waze.
The iOS and Android versions of Google Maps now incorporate real-time traffic reports from Waze users.
Waze, which Google bought in June specifically to improve its mapping service, taps into crowdsourcing to compile traffic updates reported by its users.

"This means when Wazers report accidents, construction, road closures, and more on Waze, the updates will also appear on the Google Maps app for Android and iOS in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Switzerland, UK, and the US,"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100


Sony may be a camera-come-lately with its Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 enthusiast compact, but boy, what a debut: a fast performer equipped with a relatively large sensor and a bright, fast lens, and wrapped in a small, sleek body. It seems like Sony made a lot of intelligent decisions about design and feature tradeoffs to get the job done. Compared with many of its competitors it's relatively expensive, but it doesn't feel overpriced for what you get.

Image quality

The RX100 generally displays good JPEG processing and noise reduction; it does a creditable job of balancing trade-offs between color noise and softness. Out-of-focus areas still suffer from mushiness as low as ISO 400 -- a common problem with cameras with smaller sensors -- but in-focus spots stand up pretty well until about ISO 800. Overall, the camera's JPEGs look solid up to ISO 400 and acceptable through ISO 1600, depending upon scene content. From a noise and artifact perspective, I was happy with an uncorrected 13x19 print of the ISO 1600 photo downloadable below.

LG L60i Dual Launched at Rs. 6,399

LG L60i Dual Launched at Rs. 6,399



LG  launch a new L-series smartphone in India, the L60i Dual.
Announcing a price of Rs. 6,399, retailer on Saturday also tweeted some specifications of the yet-to-be-announced L60i Dual, with another link to a Facebook page with almost complete specifications.

L60i Dual runs Android KitKat out-of-the-box, and offers dual-SIM support. It is said to feature a 4.3-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) display, and be powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core  processor coupled with 512MB of RAM.
The retailer also suggested the L60i Dual will come with a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, and an unknown resolution front facing camera. The 4GB of built-in storage is said to be expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB).

The LG L60i Dual is said to pack a 1700mAh battery and support 2G network. Considering the listed specifications, it appears that the smartphone does not come with 3G connectivity support and that is probably the biggest difference between it and the L60 Dual, apart from the larger battery.

Some other features that reportedly included on the LG LG60i Dual are KnockON and Guest Mode. It is probable that the retailer has wrongly mentioned KnockON, as the company now calls it Knock Code - a feature that allows users to unlock the phone by tapping a personalised 'knock' pattern on the display.

The LG L60 Dual, on the other hand, comes with X147 model name and features with dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) support. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, and is powered by a dual-core processor (unspecified) clocked at 1.3GHz, coupled with 512MB of RAM. It features a 4.3-inch TFT display and sports a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 4GB of inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB), and a 1540mAh battery.

Control of Your Finances With Apps

Control of Your Finances With Apps



Track your taxes with My Tax India
Free (iOS | Android)
The tax calculator doesn't actually file the taxes for you - but it makes it simple to understand how much tax you do need to pay, and you can experiment with the different settings to learn what the optimum level of investment will be for you. Even if you understand absolutely nothing about personal finance you will be able to use this app. This way, when the time comes to file your returns, you will already know what to expect, instead of getting a surprise at the time.


Balance your budget with iExpense Diary
Free (iOS | Android)
One of the biggest problems that many of us face is not knowing how much money you actually need every month. Knowing how much you take home, and how much you spend on recurring expenditures like rent is a start, but you need to know a lot more than that to properly manage your money.
You can also save recurring expenses like payments to domestic help and rent, so they get deducted from your balance automatically.  
This app lets you enter your income and expenses quickly and comes with a large number of categories you can sort your spending into. 

Smart Tracking with Money View: Financial Planning
Free (Android)
Money View is only available on Android right now, but it is a very useful app that automatically tracks your spending. When you install it, you have to give the app permission to access your SMS inbox but that's the only security clearance it wants. As long as you have SMS alerts enabled for your bank accounts and debit and credit card accounts, you will find this app incredibly useful. When you start the app for the first time, it takes a while to load because it is scanning your entire inbox for messages from your financial institutes.


It can then show you the balance in your bank accounts and also show you all the spending you've been doing. If you also get SMS alerts for bills such as your phone bill for example, then that also shows up in the app in the Bills Due section. Trends shows your daily, weekly or monthly spending trends, and cash management tracks all the cash you've been withdrawing from the ATM. In this section, you can just tap one button and add bills, and sort them into categories, so you can track all your cash spending along with the automatic credit or debit card spend tracking.

How to Delete All Data From Your Android Phone

How to Delete All Data From Your Android Phone

MicroSD card
1. Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable. If you are on a Mac, make sure you have the Android File Transfer application installed before you do this.
2. Open My Computer on your PC, or Finder on your Mac.
3. Navigate to the SD card and copy all the files you want to save to your computer.
4. After the copying is done, you can unplug your phone.
Now, you can format your memory card.
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Storage.
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap Erase SD card. You'll see a warning message telling you that you'll lose all the data on the card.
android_erase_sd_card.jpg3. Tap the Erase SD card button to continue. If your SD card is secured with a password, you'll need to enter the PIN to continue.
A determined person can still recover your files from a formatted SD card, but the easiest way to deal with this is by "layering". Simply put, fill the space with something else, delete it, and repeat this process a couple of times and your original data is gone forever.

Backing up the data on your phone

The most important thing to do is to ensure that you don't lose any of your contacts or pictures. The good thing with Android is that you need a Google account to set up the phone, and it automatically backs up your device. To make sure that this is the case, do the following.
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Backup & reset.
2. You should see a setting called Back up my data. Make sure that it's ticked.
3. Next, press Back, and then scroll down to ACCOUNTS. Tap on Google.
android_backup_and_reset.jpg4. You'll see your Google account which was used to set up the phone with a green sync symbol next to it. Tap the account.
5. Make sure that all the options are ticked - this will use your Google account to sync everything from your calendar to contacts to email to the photos that you take, which get automatically backed up to Google+.
6. Not all versions of Android automatically back up . In case your phone does not support this, you'll have to use a PC to back up media via the USB as described above.

Delete everything

A simple factory reset will delete everything on your phone, but this data can still be recovered by a really determined user. If you want to be really sure no one can recover your data even after it is deleted then make sure you enable hardware encryption on your phone.
1. Go to Settings > Security and tap Encrypt phone. This takes a long time, so you need to connect your phone to the charger to proceed.
2. Tap Encrypt phone again to proceed. Some people have noted that at times this doesn't work right away, and you might need to try it a few times.
The process can take an hour, and so you'll need to leave your phone on the charger and wait.
Once this is done, just reset the phone:
3. Go to Settings > Backup & reset. Tap Factory data reset. On the next screen, tick the box marked Erase phone data. You can also choose to remove data from the memory card on some phones - so be careful what button you tap on.
4. You'll see a warning screen - tap Reset phone to continue.
5. This process may take a few minutes and your phone should reboot to the state that it shipped in, prompting you to choose language and sign-in all over again.Congratulations, you've deleted all the data on your Android phone.


 

How to Backup Your WhatsApp Messages

How to Backup Your WhatsApp Messages

 

In this post , i am going to teach how to Backup WhatsApp Message from Android, iPhone,BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Nokia feature phones

Android

By default, WhatsApp for Android automatically creates a daily backup of your conversations and stores them in the WhatsApp folder on your phone's internal memory or microSD card. But if you wish, you can also create a backup manually. Here's how.
  1. Open WhatsApp and hit the menu button (three vertical dots on the top-right) > Settings > Chat Settings > Backup conversations.
  2. This file will be stored as "msgstore.db.crypt7" in your phone's /WhatsApp/Databases folder. WhatsApp recommends that you rename this file to "msgstore.db.crypt7.current", without the quotes, to make it easy to find when you want to restore the backup.
  3. To restore conversations from a backup, uninstall WhatsApp and find the correct backup file from the WhatsApp folder. Slightly older backups are named "msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt7". In order to restore any of these, rename the file to "msgstore.db.crypt7".
  4. Now reinstall WhatsApp. Once you verify your phone number, WhatsApp will show a prompt saying that it has found backed up messages. Tap Restore, choose the correct backup file and wait for the conversations to appear in the app.

Google Chrome's Data Saver Feature Now Available

Google Chrome's Data Saver Feature Now Available 


Google has launched a new Chrome browser extension called Data Saver, which can be used to save bandwidth and time when loading Web pages. The service has till now been primarily targeted at mobile users, since they suffer from limited connectivity and try to save expensive data. However, with the launch of this extension, Google has made the service available to PC users of the Chrome browser as well.


The extension will only work on Chrome 41 and above, and should turn on by default immediately after installation. It can be disabled and re-enabled through settings. It should also be pointed out that the extension does not function when used with secure (HTTPS) sites and during Incognito mode.
Google's Data Saver feature has been available for mobile devices through Chrome for Android and Chrome for iOS in release form since January 2014. Apart from saving bandwidth and loading Web pages faster, the extension also boosts security, since all sites are routed through Google's servers, where they are checked for malware and malicious pages.
The Data Saver extension, currently in beta, can be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store. Google has been quiet about this launch, refraining from making any announcements on the same. The extension was released on the Chrome Web Store on March 23.
