HTC Desire 310 with quad-core MediaTek chipset Will Coming Soon

HTC has expanded its Desire range with the
unveiling of a new mid-range smartphone, the
Desire 310.

HTC had on Wednesday temporarily listed the
new smartphone on its European site without
pricing and availability details. Soon after, the
HTC Desire 310 page on the site was pulled, and
is currently still down, with no word on the
global rollout of the device.

The HTC Desire 310 is company's first
smartphone powered by a MediaTek chipset, the
quad-core MT6582M clocked at 1.3GHz. The
dual-SIM smartphone features a 4.5-inch display
with a resolution of 480x854 pixels.

The HTC
Desire 310 runs Android 4.2.2 out-of-the-box,
while there is no word on BlinkFeed feature on
the device.

It comes with 512MB of RAM and also includes
4GB of inbuilt storage, though there is no
mention of expandable storage in Desire 310. It
sports a 5-megapixel rear camera, while there is
a VGA front-facing camera. The HTC Desire 310
comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, EDGE,
GPS and 3G connectivity options.

The
smartphone packs a 2000mAh battery and
measures 131.44x68.03x11.25mm.
The HTC
Desire 310 was first spotted by PhoneArena .

Earlier, HTC introduced a new mid-range
smartphone, the Desire 400 dual-SIM which was
listed on company's Russian and Ukrainian sites.

The HTC Desire 400 dual-SIM runs Android Jelly
Bean OS with HTC Sense UI on top featuring
BlinkFeed. However, it's not clear at this stage
whether the OS version in the Desire 400 dual-
SIM smartphone is Android 4.2 or Android 4.3.
The HTC Desire 400 dual-SIM as the name
suggests comes with dual-SIM functionality and
supports micro-SIM instead of regular SIM.

It
comes with a 4.3-inch WVGA display with a
480x800 pixels resolution. It is powered by a
quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 processor
along with 1GB of RAM, according to the Russian
site, which also lists an 8-megapixel rear camera
with LED flash and BSI sensor, apart from a 1.6-
megapixel front-facing camera.

Most of the MT6582 powered handsets are
priced well under Rs. 13,000. Let’s see if
HTC can come up with a competitive price
tag.

How to Partition Your SD Card for Android Without PC?

The Android OS has lot of scope in development
and user flexibility. This helps developers and
users to modify the architecture of the system
and make them useful according to their will

The mobile can be modified in several ways.
Thanks the Open source by Google.

Mobiles with limited internal memory is one of
the crucial area where this flexibility comes into
play. You can extend this limit by partitioning
your SD card and expanding the ROM of your
mobile. So let us know how to partition SD card
and why is a partition needed.

What is Partitioning SD card?

In simple terms partitioning sd card is breaking
your sd card into two parts and making one
part accessible for mobile (making it as internal
memory) and other part for user. No matter
how large you make the partition, the more the
internal space more the performance of the
phone.

Why is it needed?

Primarily to increase the ROM of the mobile. To
make the device link to the newly created
partition so that it will be used by the mobile
as internal memory. By this you can link the
applications that are installed on phone
memory to the partition freeing up more
internal space. Your mobile becomes faster and
there will be lot of space available for you.

How it is done?

There are several ways by which you can
partition your SD card. You can do it by few
softwares available for PC. But in this guide I
will show you how to make a partition without
any tedious downloads and intense use of
technical skills.

Requirements

1)Rooted mobile - You mobile has to be rooted
for super user access. If your mobile isn't
rooted this will not work for you. If you want to
get your mobile rooted, contact me with your
phone name, model, OS version and baseband
number. I will be glad to help you.

2)Busy Box - Busy Box must me installed on
your mobile. This will install required
repositories for your mobile. Download Busy
Box from Play Store .

3)Aparted - This is the primary app that does
the partitioning process. Download it from
here .

NOTE: Aparted should be installed on phone
memory only. Do not move this app to SD card.

First backup your SD card to PC.
The partitioning process will
erase all you SD card contents.
So be careful before proceeding
to the process.

After the backup and installing
the required files described
above, go to settings -> storage
-> unmount the SD card. This
process will work only when you
unmount the SD card or else
you will get error.

Open Aparted and select the
tab "create" and tap on green
"plus" button. You will be
prompted to create the first
partition. This partition will be
accessible for user as external
storage.

You can select the
amount of space according to
your choice. If you are using 4
GB SD card (3.69 will accessible)
make a 2 GB first partition.

Select the type as FAT 32 and
select apply changes by pressing
options menu. This will create a
primary partition of your
desired space by erasing all the
SD card contents which is used
as external storage.

After finishing the primary
partition select tools. You will be
shown parts as part 1 and part
2 available for your SD card.

You can make several parts of
your SD card so. But preferably
go for two partitions. Higher
amount of partitions need more
technical skill.. Now the first
part is the primary partition you
made and the second part is the
remaining space which will be
used by mobile as internal
memory.

Check the check box
on the second remaining part
and tap on create under same
FAT 32 format. Now the app will
create a second partition.

That's it you have successfully
created partition on your SD
card. Reboot your device and
you can see the external storage
available similar to the space
you opted for first partition.

Install Link2SD from Google Play
Store and run the app. The app
will immediately prompt you
that second partition is found
and asks you to mount the
scripts.

Mount the script as FAT
32 and once mounting is done it
will again prompt you to reboot
the device. Reboot the mobile
and open Link2SD, select
options and check the option
'Automatically link newly
installed apps to SD'.

This will
enable the app to automatically
link your new downloaded apps
to the partition you have
created. You can also manually
link the previously installed
apps to SD by clicking on the
app in Link2SD and selecting
create link.

You can also see the partition
space by clicking options in
Link2SD and select storage info.
It will show storage details of
your phone, the partition you
have created and also the
external storage.

Now enjoy by linking as many apps you can to
partition and free up more internal memory.

You will see increased performance of your
mobile.

NOTE: This process may damage your SD card if
misused. Proceed with caution
Tip: You can also repair the damaged SD card
with Aparted app which will generally happen
by faulty connections to PC or any other error
during data transfer between SD card and PC.

What is Android OS(Operating System), Android OS Features

The Android OS
Open Operating System for
Mobile Devices, This Guide By Saikrishna.

Google announced
Android , a Java/Linux-based mobile phone
and tablet operating system. As of July
2012, the latest version is 4.1, code
named “Jelly Beans”, which succeeds the
previously popular versions 4.0 (Ice Cream
Sandwich) and 2.3 (Ginger Bread).

There
are now some 600,000 applications ( apps)
available for devices running Android.
The basic functionality of the Android OS
includes:
Major mobile phone companies have joined
the Open Handset Alliance to promote the
development of Android, which is intended
to be a "truly open platform for mobile
devices.

" The objective of Google's mobile
operating system is to simplify software
development for wireless devices, make it
freely accessible to everybody, and promote
improved services to the estimated three
billion mobile phone users on the planet.

Android is a Linux-based operating system
designed primarily for mobile phones,
although it is also being adopted for other
small devices such as netbooks and
tablets.
As of February 2012, number of devices
running Android has reached 70, and the
total number of Android activations (users)
has exceeded 300 million.

Among the most popular Android phones
are the HTC One S and HTC Rezound,
the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the T-
Mobile MyTouch 4G.

Google and the Open Handset Alliance are
providing a Software Development Kit (SDK)
that is available to anybody free of
charge. The SDK includes all the
information, API libraries, and tools you
need to write, build, test, and debug
applications for Android.

The SDK allows developers to write
software for Android devices in Java .

The
system is designed for platform
independence, so that no or little
adjustments are required to run the same
applications on different devices.
However, there is also a Native
Development Kit (NDK), which enables
Andoid developers to access native code,
which in general is not platform
independent, but may be more efficient in
some cases.

More details and download information for
the SDK and NDK is available at the
Android web site .
Since Android OS version 4.1 (Jelly
Beans), the system includes advanced
natural language recognition, voice command
and anticipatory functionality call Google
Now.

While it provides powerful voice
search capabilities similar to Apple's Siri,
the main idea behind Google Now is to
replace the static main menu with
"context" dependent options and
information, that is, options and
information that are relevant based on your
current location and current time.
It combines information from various sources
to predict what information would be useful
or valued by you at any given time. For
example, at the start of the day it may
give you the weather forecast and traffic
conditions between your home and office.

If you are standing at bus stop or train
station it may tell you when the next bus
or train comes. It may also proactively
keep you up to date on your favorite
teams scores. While on the road you may
get recommendations for restaurants, hotels,
etc.

With both Siri and Google Now still at
the beta stage, head to head comparisons
indicate that the voice search function of
Google Now easily beats Siri on the iPhone
in terms of responsiveness and information
content. For more information about Google
Now see the official project site .

Another advanced Android application is
Google Maps for Android , which includes a
free but first-class navigation system
providing voice-guided turn-by-turn
instructions for driving, walking, or using
public transportation. You can also search
for nearby business, schools, or other
locations of interest.

Top Hidden Features Of HTC One

HTC One is definitely one of the most attractive
and desired smartphones of the modern age.It’s
most appealing aspect is definitely the full
aluminum build, as well as the front facing
stereo speakers.

The phone carries a certain
innovative aura which is further emphasized
once you reach into its software. Android has
become a beast of a platform, allowing some
seriously impressive and ingenious features to
be built into phones running it. The HTC One,
being a flagship top end device, comes with a
decent set of these hidden features which are
there to make your experience with the phone
even better. It’s nice to see such an impressive
list of added features which are put completely
out of the way, never obstructing your working
space or limiting the amount of content you see
on the screen.

Taking screenshots

This feature has only recently become available
by default on Android phones. Back in the day
you had to install a third party application to get
this, and were often linked to the camera
shutter key. In this day and age, you can long
press on home and power button
simultaneously or you can hold on to the power
button and the volume down button . On the
HTC One you will notice a neat little animation
to let you know that the screenshot was actually
taken. By default, the captured screenshot will
be saved in the default screenshot folder right
on your phone, under Images: \.

Beam me up, Scotty!

You’ve probably encountered several websites
with this feature – basically, once you reach the
end of a long page, you’d want to quickly return
back to the top where you’ll often find function
buttons, allowing you to do something else. For
those really long pages where you would need
to flip the screen multiple times, you can simply
quickly tap on the notification bar area once and
you’ll be pulled back right on top of the web
page or any other menu within the operating
system.

Quick launch bar customization

Plenty of people are wondering about how to
customize those quick launch bar icons. It’s
really simple to do it, though – you won’t be
able to put any applications or icons from the
home screens, yet you need to go into the
application drawer segment. From this area you
can drag and drop icons from and to the quick
launch bar. This bar will remain the same in the
lock screen segment as well so you may want to
put those most common applications and
functions here, to gain quick access.
More applications listing in the app drawer
Over time, you’ll definitely accumulate a nice
assortment of applications. In order to have a
clean overview of these, you’d want to condense
your app drawer so that you can see more of
your applications at a glance. To do this, access
your application drawer, pull it from the top
down and you’ll see a menu icon. Tap on the
menu icon and select the 4×5 format on the grid
size option. You will now have 20 application
icons to look at in a single glance.

HTC Zoe toggle

HTC Zoe is one of my personal favorite features
about the HTC One’s camera. It allows you to
record quick 3 second videos with audio. In
order to do this, access your camera. You will
notice an icon on the middle left part of your
screen. Press this icon and you will activate HTC
Zoe. Now, when you push on the capture photo
icon you will instead record a short 3 second
video. This is actually quite handy for those
quick takes of something in motion. Since the
HTC One captures great quality video, you can
easily use this footage for later editing and
extract the best still photo from the video
stream.

TV control

One of the features found on the HTC One
which is often swept under the rug is its IR
blaster. With this little device you basically gain
access to a universal remote control, with which
you can control whichever device. This feature
works best with flat panel LED displays and can
easily be programmed to control your television,
as long as it’s a supported model. You can use
the default TV application found pre-installed in
the HTC One, even though there are some third
party apps. I’ve found the built-in app to work
seamlessly, so you can give it a try.

Slow motion
video recording

In order to record slow motion
video, the
camera needs to boost up the frame rate as far
as it can go. HTC One’s camera is quite a
capable one, with the ability to record 1080p HD
videos. For slow motion video recording, the
device will automatically reduce the resolution in
order to bump up the frame rate as much as
possible. In order to record a slow motion video,
open your camera application; go to options –
scene and select the slow motion video recording
option . You can also accelerate the video
recording process which isn’t as impressive as
slow motion recording. Find Us On Facebook
