Do Not Disturb Issue Is Going To Be Resolved On 7th January

A recent story related to Apple has highlighted a bug in iPhone. Due to this, Apple has brought in its notice the time-related bug that caused Do Not Disturb feature on New Year’s Day to disable itself even though it was not scheduled to be. The iPhone maker has stated in a support document that this time-related bug will fix itself automatically by coming Monday which would be 7 January, 2013. However, the company did not announce anything related to fixing this bug for once and all – surely none of us would want to miss their alerts on the next New Year Day.

In the above mentioned document it was said that the bug will fix itself thus normal functionality will resume after 7 January, 2013. However before the said date, feature can be turned off and on manually. It further added that the mode of Do Not Disturb would stay scheduled to old time hence it will not create any problem in future.

iPhone 5S to Launch in June with multiple colors and two different display sizes

Apple the most famous company in the world launch their product every year. Apple company launch their iPhone in June every year, but in the case of iPhone 5 Apple launched iPhone 5 in September because of some reasons. But now we are very hopeful that Apple will launch next iPhone in June as usually. May be that is iPhone 5S or iPhone 6, but with the release of this new iPhone there will be big change in smartphone’s world. Some analyst predicted that in new iPhone there will be a projector which will show display through its projector and also which will show big keyboard. Now we heard that Apple will launch their iPhone 5S in June with the bigger changes with the multiple colors and two different display sizes.

Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White predicts that Apple will launch the iPhone 5S in May/June with multiple multiple colors and two different display sizes.

“Apple is our top overall pick for 2013,” White wrote in an investor note. “With the 25% correction in Apple’s stock from the high in September, the stock is now trading at just 7.7x our CY13 EPS estimate (less cash) and the company’s portfolio has never been stronger, in our view. We believe tax-related selling was largely to blame for the downward bias in the stock price as we exited 2012 and this created a negative news cycle around Apple that we believe will be broken as we enter 2013. We believe there is still plenty to look forward to at Apple, including the potential for greater choices (i.e., colors, sizes) around the next iPhone in 2013, combined with accelerating momentum with the iPad mini and continued strength with the iPad franchise at large.”

BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha handsets hit eBay

Research In Motion is gearing up this month to unveil their new BlackBerry 10 operating system along with a couple of new BlackBerry 10 smartphones during a special event at the end of January. But obviously RIM put out several BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices for developers before the upcoming event, and as with some pre-release devices more often than not they pop up on auction sites such as eBay.

Well it appears that a couple of BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices have now made their way to eBay according to a report by BlackBerryOS, although they do carry a hefty price tag if you fancy owning one of these.

Will Nokia Lumia Devices Come in Green in 2013?

As Nokia fans know Nokia likes to tease their upcoming colors in photos thru their social networks which is the reason the above photo raised my interest. Note the colors of the balloons... they are all actual colors that you can get Nokia Lumia devices in expect the green. Does this mean that Nokia Lumia devices will could now come in green this year?

That photo was attached to this tweet from Nokia's official Twitter account.

This could be me simply reaching on this one however, Nokia has done this more than a few times before and if the past is any indication of the future this has a real possibility of being true. Would anyone out there even buy a green device? Better yet what color would you like to see Lumias come in that don't currently. You can let us know in the comments.

AppSync & Installous – Two Famous Apps Come To An End

Hackulous team has lately put an end to its two famous apps which areInstallous and AppSync. The team did this in order to stop piracy of apps. It may sound like a small step toward stopping the piracy of apps but it certainly has set an example. However the reason of their shutdown is still not clear. The team claims that forum was getting stagnant and it was getting difficult to handle it. But I do believe that there was some notorious activity going on due to which they decided to shut down their apps.

The message Hackulous Team left behind on its website stated that they had to do this as the forum was getting stagnant and was becoming like a ghost town. Due to its size, it was not well-moderated so despite of being together for years, it was better to shut it down.

So far Installous and AppSync have been the two simplest and fastest apps which could install cracked applications onto your iProducts. Hackulous repo has no doubt gone down as people cannot use these apps to install apps from third party pirate sites.

This is indeed a small step to stop app piracy. But with Hackulous out of scene, other developers will be more likely to start from the point where Hackulous left. They may come up with the latest versions of these apps in near future.
This is one of the reason why people jailbreak their iOS products and while keeping the fact in mind that there has not been any jailbreak for iOS 6, broadly speaking for iPhone 5, may be that is why Hackulous had to go out of business.

In the end, if you are the one using cracked apps then it seems like now you will have to spend some money to get what you want but if you are a developer then you must be happy to see an opportunity. No matter what it would be like for anyone else but for iOS this is not less than a victory.

CameraTweak Brings Tons Of Extra Features For The Stock Camera App

The stock Camera iOS app doesn’t offer a lot of functionality when it comes to extra features. For the purpose, you have to install third-party apps for each feature.

Read on for more details.

The new options are added to the stock Camera app. However, that won’t make it slow or unorganized. There would be no extra menus added to the Settings app. All the options can be accessed directly from the stock Camera app itself. The independent focus and exposure reticles will be visible by default along the White Balance button. You can tap and hold your finger over the focus and exposure reticles to move them and place them anywhere in the viewfinder.

In the middle is the full touch BlackBerry X10 which has been seen more than a few times now. RIM will be showing off their brand new OS alongside devices at an event on January 30th, 2013.

Spotify Coming to Windows Phone 8

In what perhaps looks like a Christmas gift to Windows Phone users it seems Spotify will be making a Windows Phone 8 app. According to Anna Stromberg product market manager for Windows Phone in Sweden the Spotify app is "currently under development."


Ok while I can't read the above tweets I trust the source plus it says "Spotify" in the question a few times and there is a smiley face next to the word Spotify in the answer. So that has to be good right? Seriously Windows Phone is making a push to close that app gap as quickly as possible and this is another big piece of that puzzle. Now if I could only get Jet Pack Joyride for my Nokia Lumia 920.

BlackBerry Z10 gets detailed and pictured

Everyone knows just how important BlackBerry 10 is to helping Research In Motion get back into the mobile game as one of the big contenders, and a couple of days ago we let our readers know that the word was the first of these saviour devices would probably be known as the BlackBerry Z10, and we have already reported that RIM claims BlackBerry 10 will have 70,000 apps available on launch. But what about that BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?

Well it appears some details on the specifications along with an image of the actual smartphone have been uncovered by Bbin.in, and they claim that the specs that have uncovered are the closest specs of the device, albeit some of these specs not 100 percent confirmed, whilst several of the specs have already been seen on the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices.

Say Mail – Fire Off E-Mails With Speech-To-Text Dictation (Windows)

Although smartphones have developed a lot with time, there is still a feature which could be gain the trust of its users and that is the speech-to-text feature. Many people like the idea of this feature, but they do not rely on this much as it involves many typo errors and voice recognition problems. Considering Siri and Microsoft TellMe, we can say that these can be efficient in handling small tasks, but it gets annoying when it comes to turning long passages into text.

There are few other apps which can do this work, but they are little too complicated to be used in a hurry. To solve such an issue, there is an app ‘Say Mail’ for Windows phones that type in everything that you say. It pretty much does this accurately without having the need to correct it. An additional feature that it has is the option to ask app to read out loud what you have dictated. This way, you do not even have to engage with screen to avoid typo errors, the chances to which are small, but still if there is one left then editing it manually would not be an issue.

Samsung 5.5-inch flexible screens at CES, Galaxy Note 3 surely

As we near the end of the year we are starting to focus on the products that next year will bring and one device that we’ve posted on recently is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Note III). One of the things that we’ve particularly discussed is the possibility that the Note 3 may be one of the first devices to feature one of Samsung’s new flexible displays and today’s news seems to make that virtually certain.

Flexible displays have been rumored for some time for new Samsung devices and at the beginning of this month we reported that the Galaxy Note 3 and also the Galaxy S4 could both feature the new flexible displays. Samsung was reported as being in a position to start mass-producing the flexible displays that could be used in devices in 2013. The bendable displays would bring benefits such as increased durability and also lighter and slimmer devices that could also be bendable.

Pod2g breaks silence on iOS 6 untethered jailbreak

We know that many of you are still waiting eagerly and anxiously for an iOS 6 untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and other devices but news on this seems to have come to a halt amid various false starts. Very early on after the release, renowned member of the jailbreaking community pod2g told how he wasn’t working on an iOS 6 jailbreak, leading to huge disappointment among his many fans. After remaining fairly quite on the subject ever since, pod2g has now broken his silence in an interview where the jailbreak was also discussed.

Although when iOS 6 was released @pod2g told on Twitter that he wasn’t working on the untethered jailbreak, in October he then said that he was confident that it would be achieved, even though it didn’t appear to be imminent. Pod2g said that he was stuck but that could quickly change and hoped that something could be found by him and other jailbreakers in the next few weeks. Since that time news has been quiet about genuine iOS 6 untethered jailbreak apart from numerous scams and fake information that we’ve informed readers about.

Windows Phone 7.8 reportedly starts rolling out for the Nokia Lumia 800

Windows Phone 7.8 has been relatively an unknown quantity even after the release of Windows Phone 8 because Microsoft has been absolutely mum on any plans of the roll out, but fear not, the schedule for the roll out to Nokia’s Lumia Windows Phones are apparently on target and has started to pop up on the Zune client in the form of a new update!

The first signs of a Windows Phone 7.8 update for the Nokia Lumia range of Windows Phones were seen when the official firmware files started popping up on the Navifirm servers. Naturally, we downloaded it and gave it a try to find out what’s new in Windows Phone 7.8, this is what happened -

Unfortunately what we flashed was just the core Windows Phone 7.8 update without the Nokia bits, which includes an app for Bluetooth file transfer, a ringtone maker and various other Nokia exclusive stuff. But as we can see above, the Zune update does include  the new Nokia firmware update. According to WP7.nl, the update for the Lumia 800 has started rolling out in their country, so it is inevitable that it will roll out to the other side of the world and to all the other devices like the Lumia 710, 610 and 510 soon.

Blackberry 10 to launch with 70,000 apps in App world

Apps have become important for every mobile operating system, thanks to Apple and iOS, both Andorid and iOS now have more than half a million applications and one of the places where Blackberry failed at their O.S and smartphones before was the category of apps available. Now, Frank Boulben, the CMO of RIM has stated that consumers can expect more than 70,000 apps for the Blackberry 10 at launch.
