Google Nexus 5 coming next month - Rumours

Google Nexus 4 has got huge popularity last year due to its high end specs in low price and also demand became high due to the short supply from LG.

LG revealed at CES that its working with Google to manufacture some more devices and we could possibly see one of these devices next month. Now rumors says that the device getting manufactured is Google Nexus 5.

Fisher claimed, “Through our collaboration with Google, we launched the LG Nexus 4 smartphone. This is the first of many devices to come from our growing partnership with this very selective company.”

Google Nexus 4 which was released last year's October is still sold out on Google Play store. So, it would a bit soon to release the next Nexus phone. May be they are releasing so early to give tough competition for the Bond phone Sony Xperia Z which is also rumored to release in Feb 18th.

Top 10 Best of the Best Gadgets - 2012

2012, the year in which we found drastic development in Gadgets. We had already listed the Best Android mobile Phones of 2012 , But now we have made a list of Top 10 Best Gadgets of the year which were best in their class, which were sold for best price and mainly which touched the hearts of the people.

Samsung Galaxy S3

 I know what you're thinking. Again. And, again, this smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy SIII, the winner of the Android race 2012 ,even its the best smartphone there is, on any OS. Samsung Galaxy S III the successor of Samsung Galaxy SII is the best selling phone which even overtook the most expected iPhone 5.

 Samsung Galaxy SIII is thinner and flashier than its nearest competitor HTC ONE X+. The Mobile Phone has 4.8" AMOLED screen of resolution 1280x720 with the pixel density of 306ppi.  This screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 2. This combination gives you ultimate pleasure in watching movies and in hardcore gaming.

 The Smartphone king of 2012 is powered by 1.4GHz Quad-core Exynos 4 Processor with Mail-400 GPU and 1GB RAM which is the ultimate combination for Gaming. The storage options like 16/32/64GB and expandable up to 64GB gives you lot of space to store lot of games and movies.

 The biggest testament to the Galaxy SIII's power, though,is Pop Up Play. which allows you to watch a video in one window while simultaneously gaming or browsing in another. Throw in the handset's awesome battery life and the S III is very hard to resist.

Samsung Galaxy SIII's stunning 8MP camera is the best in class which can capture 1080p videos at 30fps and a front 1.9MP camera capable of taking 720p videos.

Now the most impressive thing is the software. Samsung Galaxy SIII comes with Android 4.0 which is spiced with Samsung's TouchWiz UI. The S III intuitively knows when you're looking at it, dimming the display when you look away. It even works with glasses. When you want to switch from text chat to a call just lift your phone to your ear, it will call automatically.


Retina MacBook Pro 15

There’s no mystery to Apple’s overarching approach to designing gadgets: It likes to make ‘em really thin and really light, and it likes to pack in as many pixels as possible. That’s what it did with this high-end laptop, which starts at $2199 and goes way, way up. Its 2800-by-1800 Retina display has nearly five times as many pixels as you’ll get on a more mundane 15” notebook, making for the most ink-on-paper-like images you’ve ever seen on a computer. And as long as you can live with Apple’s less-is-more philosophy — you don’t get an optical drive or Ethernet — this 4.6-lb. aluminum powerhouse is a joy to use.  Those without unlimited funds should take a look at the 13” MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which brings similar features to a machine with a $1699 starting price.


Samsung Galaxy Note II

The Big and Beautiful Phablet Samsung Galaxy Note II is the best multi-tasking phone yet. The phone's  5.55" Super AMOLED display and Samsung's multiscreen features allows you to run many apps at a time via multitasking and Popup Play. The 16:9 screen has resolution of 1280x720 which is best for watching movies and playing games.

 Like the size of the phones its has also got huge power, it is powered by 1.6GHz Quadcore Exynos Processor with 2GB RAM. The phone has storage options as 16/32/64GB + 64GB expandable.

The Best part of the phone is S-pen which is the first in its type which makes Note II unique. the brilliant 8MP rear camera can capture 1080p videos at 30fps and a Front camera of 1.96MP which even capture videos at 720p.


Microsoft Surface with Windows RT

 For 37 years now, Microsoft has built software for other companies’ devices. With the Surface tablet, which starts at $499, it finally designed a PC of its own — one of the sleekest, most ambitious devices ever to run Windows. The magnesium case looks and feels good and the integrated kickstand is beautifully done. And the super-thin magnetic keyboard cover — included with the $599 Surface, or $119.99 on its own —  is way better than on-screen typing. There’s one big catch: Windows RT, Surface’s operating system, needs far more applications before it’s ready to compete with the iPad. But the device itself is so slick that it leaves you rooting for RT to take off.


Nike + FuelBand

It may seem that FuelBand went on sale for a long time, but in fact was the strength of the year, if not less. In our review of the gadget's all written as detailed as possible, and add nothing special to me - he said the steps made to move, can show you the time synchronized via Bluetooth with a variety of devices and long running in standalone mode. If you want a normal thing to keep track of the activity, without FuelBand not do.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100

Sony’s $649.99 camera looks handsome and fits in your pocket. Nothing remarkable about that. But the pictures it takes are exceptional: Sony stuffed a one-inch sensor inside the RX100’s trim case, letting it take much, much nicer snapshots than even better-than-average point-and-shoot cameras. If you want to take photos with a bokeh effect — a razor-sharp subject in front of a pleasingly blurred background — and don’t want to deal with a bulky digital SLR or Micro Four-Thirds camera, this is the model you want. Low-light performance is also outstanding.

iPhone 5

Apple may be responsible for more than its share of the tech industry’s great leaps forward, but it’s at least as good at fussing over the tiny little details other companies ignore. The iPhone 5, which starts at $199 with a two-year contract, is one of the most artfully polished gadgets anyone’s ever built, with a taller screen than previous iPhones built into a thinner, lighter case. The camera, with a particularly well-done panorama mode, is another highlight. There are lots of nifty smartphones out there, including the iPhone’s impressive archrival, Samsung’s Galaxy S III. But when it comes to melding hardware, software and services so tightly that the seams fade away, Apple still has no peer.

Nokia Lumia 920

If you suddenly want to step back away from all of the current trends, stand out, tired of "Galaxy" and "iPhones", there is one gadget that appeared this year. Just for those who are fed up with everything. This Nokia Lumia 920. The device can not be called the best, so as to buy is not easy - the deficit. Not because of sour cream, but because very few deliver. Here Windows Phone, a good camera, interesting design, most importantly, it is a toy for the rare enthusiasts willing to buy something for the sake of interest to technology. May be willing to support their favorite group. Help financially. Participate. In the end, you can estimate the risks and benefits, to think, to buy Samsung Galaxy SIII, or iPhone 5 at the same time and the Nokia 1280 (just in case). And so it will help.


Nokia 1280

Ideal second phone and the best phone Nokia this year, there is a place and design, and functionality, and price is one of the best, only 700 rubles! No problems with the synchronization, installation programs and other nonsense, here simply do not need to synchronize and set the program. Let's hope next year to make the model Nokia Nokia 1280i, adding there is one game or xenon lamp.

Nest

Is it possible to love a thermostat? Yes, if it’s Nest — the brainchild of Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, two former Apple employees who brought along everything they learned designing iPods when they formed a startup to build a $249 “learning thermostat.” With its round stainless steel case, color touchscreen and elegant software, Nest has Apple-like panache. More important, it can help you save energy and money: It uses a motion sensor to crank down your HVAC system when you’re not at home, and encourages you to keep the temperature just a tad warmer or cooler than usual if it’ll conserve energy. Rarely has anything so mundane been so engaging.

How to unbrick or Repair your LG Optimus One P500

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your phone after following this post. You are doing this because you choose to and you alone are responsible for anything that may happen. Use at your own risk.

 

NOTE: This should work for any screen you are stuck at. I'm just mentioning the screens I have come across.

If your phone is stuck at the LG/Android boot screen or emergency mode or a black screen saying

Code:

fastboot mode started
udc_start()

then your phone isn't bricked, you dont need to panic. Your phone can be fixed right at home by following these steps.

After doing some research, I found that

Code:

fastboot mode started
udc_start()

is displayed when we do something like install custom recovery and failed. There may or may not be additional lines of text, but the procedure is the same for all such cases where the starting 2 lines are the above.

If you can boot into recovery mode (holding the home button, the lower volume button and the power button together after turning off the phone), and if you ave previously backed up your stock ROM, then you can simply flash that through recovery. Remember that the touch screen doesn't work in recovery mode, you will have to use volume up and down buttons to navigate and the menu button to select an option. The method below works even if you cant boot into recovery.

1. Download KDZ Updater and LG united mobile drivers from here.

2. Extract the rar file and install LG United mobile drivers.

3. Disable all LGE modems under modems from windows device manager.

4. Charge your phone since we cant really tell how much juice is left in the battery even though the screen is on.

5. Download the stock firmware (also known as rom) from Lg’s firmware repository. You can download the firmware and firmware version suiting your region from the links I have provided below. But many of these links may not work, so to download the stock 2.2.2 ROM build V10D_00 for India, click here. If you choose to download this stock ROM, then ignore Methods 1 & 2 given below. If however you want to download a ROM for a different country and version, then follow Method 1 or 2.

Method 1:

The following link will list all the country codes for LG optimus p 500.

Press ctrl + f on the keyboard to bring up the browser search tool and type the name of your country.

6. Install msxml (from the KDZ Updater folder) on your windows pc by double clicking it.

7. a. If your phone is stuck at the Android screen or LG screen or Emergency screen, connect your phone to your PC via USB.

b. If your phone is stuck at fastboot mode started udc_start() screen, then remove the battery and reinsert it. Now press the back key and volume up button and simultaneously connect your phone to your PC. You will get a greenish yellow screen saying Emergency mode.

11. Now switch on your phone. Finished!

Note: If kdz is unable to see your phone , then try running kdz in compatibility mode for XP, restarting your phone, shaking your phone (I know it sounds crazy but it works sometimes!), restarting your computer, try and try again till it works.

NOTE: If KDZ stops working and phone gets stuck in recovery mode and you have to remove the battery just to turn off the phone, and you cant get into recovery mode or emergency mode, but you're stuck at a black screen, remove the battery and connect the phone via USB to a computer which has LG United mobile drivers installed. Disable all LGE modems under modems from windows device manager.

Unplug the usb cord from your PC and plug it in again. You still shouldn't have a battery in your phone, yet by plugging it in the "Emergency mode" should start automatically. Open up KDZ, select Type "3GQCT" and PhoneMode "EMERGENCY". Select a KDZ file and flash it.

NOTE: If your phone doesn't even turn on , the try holding back + vol up + power and simultaneously connect to a computer which has LG United mobile drivers intstalled via USB. Then you should reach emergency mode. Then just follow the steps mentioned above.
