What is Wifi Direct and how does it work?

A few years ago, we transferred music and photos via Bluetooth or Infrared but the transmission rate was not pleasing. It could take hours to transfer movies and sucked a lot of energy from the battery. But now, there is a technology called “Wi-Fi Direct” that helps us to transfer any kind of files between 2 devices using your Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Direct is arguably present in almost all the smartphones and laptops right now. It is way faster than Bluetooth and consumes very little energy from your battery.

Wi-Fi Direct also doesn’t require wireless access points like Router to connect two devices. So if you are outside your home and you need to share a file, Wi-Fi Direct would be your ideal choice. Wi-Fi Direct devices also use WPA2 encryption, which is the most secure way of encrypting Wi-Fi.

wifi direct

Wi-Fi Direct is supposedly invented to be a standard that allows multiple types of devices supporting the Wi-Fi Direct standard to communicate with each other, this hasn’t really happened just yet. For example, there is no easy way to connect an Android smartphone to a Windows laptop. However, you can easily transfer files between two Android Devices or between two Windows laptop.

For sharing any file using Wi-Fi Direct, go to file manager->long press on that file and click share. Click on Wi-Fi Direct- and select the desired device.

Nokia N1 : iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0

Nokia N1 : iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0

Its a big surprise move, Nokia just unveiled an entry into the Android market with the Nokia N1 tablet and this can one of the best surprises for tablet users.

Nokia announced the Nokia N1, which is the  first Nokia-branded Android tablet. The Nokia N1 offers the innovative, predictive Nokia Z Launcher interface, and a carefully crafted industrial design by Nokia with a focus on simplicity.

Comparing Nokia N1 with iPad Mini

Nokia’s N1 is almost an identical  piece to the rear of the iPad mini. The placement of the camera, buttons, and headphone jack a bit in different position that of the iPad mini. Looking at the bottom of the device  it has the same speaker grills as of the ipad mini and what looks like a Lightning port is actually one of the first implementations of the reversible Type-C USB connector.Nokia’s N1 display is fully laminated, unlike the iPad mini 3, and the N1 is just 6.9mm thick and 318 grams in weight, both thinner and lighter than Apple’s offering.

The only things completely different than the iPad mini look are a home button, chamfered edges, and an Apple logo. There’s even “Natural Aluminum” and “Lava Grey” color schemes, and a cover that looks very much similar to Apple’s Smart Case. Unlike the majority of Android tablets on the market, the tablet will run a stock version of the latest Android Lollipop software. (If you want to know if your smartphones will get Android Lollipop update : Click the Link)

The Nokia N1 also takes advantage of Lollipop’s 64-bit support, which is packed in as a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor paired with a 2GB RAM. The tablet included with 32GB storage with no room to expand via microSD.

Taking tips from the iPad Mini, the Nokia N1 packs a 7.9in 2,560×1,536 IPS LCD display which sports a protective layer of Gorilla Glass and Nokia’s zero air gap technology. The Nokia N1 has a large 5300mAh battery which can made a guess that the battery life will also be a strong feature of this tablet.

Nokia’s new tablet will support the older and slower USB 2.0 standard rather than the latest USB 3.1.

Nokia has its “predictive Nokia Z Launcher” as a default Launcher. Previously, the company had released the limited pre-beta version of the Z Launcher app via the Z Launcher website in June. But now Nokia Z Launcher has been out for Android 4.1 and Higher Released which has been on Google Play.

The Nokia N1 will go on sale in China in or around February 2015, priced at around $250 (before taxes). It will then roll out to some countries in Europe and Russia. No word on whether it’s coming to the US — but given now the Nokia brand is much more recognizable/valuable on that side of the Atlantic, I wouldn’t be a surprise if we also have to wait a long time.

Huawei will not be producing any devices running Windows Phone

Huawei announced that they won’t be making any Windows Phone as there is no profit for the company. In a Seattle Times article, Joe Kelly, Huawei’s head of international media affairs said of the change that “we didn’t make any money in Windows Phone.” He even claimed that none of the companies manufacturing Windows Phone handsets made any money. “Nobody made any money in Windows Phone,” Kelly added.

This is a bad news for Microsoft, who recently launched Lumia 535, a low cost handset, to gain popularity.

Android L update rolls out for Moto G 2013!

Android 5.0 Lollipop is now available to Motorola Moto G (2013) smartphones in India. The latest OS version is seeding to dual-SIM Moto G XT1033 devices over-the-air.

The new Android build arrives a couple of days after the manufacturer updated its Motorola Update Services app on Moto G devices in India, if you haven’t yet updated your Motorola Update Services do update it by going to the Play Store> My apps.

After that go to Settings> About Phone> System Updates and you should be greeted by the update screen when available.

Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a host of improvements to the budget friendly smartphone, headed by fresh material design for the UI, as well as brand new ART runtime. The latter will almost certainly make last year’s Moto G feel a lot snappier.

If update doesn’t show up in your device, don’t worry it should just be hours before you get the sweet update!

Will we have LTE in Nepal any soon?

Will we have LTE in Nepal any soon?

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a common phrase these days when it comes to band support from phone manufacturers. As much as you’d like to know, LTE, in simpler words, is a wireless communication standard for mobile devices which is of course faster than the 3G network or UMTS as we know it. LTE in Nepal is not an impossibility, it’s just a matter of time. Also, if you are well aware, you might as well know that NTC has already launched Wi-MAX which is a LTE competitive network for data transfer. So, we have 4G-Wi-MAX as of now but not the 4G network for our SIM cards. Will we have one? Any sooner? Let’s dig deep!

THE NECESSITY:

LTE in Nepal, might not be a necessity as of now but we’ll soon be left scratching our heads when top-tier manufacturers start having LTE in every phones. Even as of now, high-end phones are all packed with LTE. So basically, its like the feature is there but you wont be able to use it simply because our carriers don’t support LTE!

Having an LTE means having wireless speeds upto 300 Mbps (download) and upto 75 Mbps (upload). I know that’s too much but “too-much” is what makes LTE a choice abroad. With a perfect combo of modern-era internet usage and portability, LTE is a thing to opt now, if not any sooner!

THE EXAMPLES:

LTE was first brought up by NTT Docomo from Japan in 2004 but its commercialization began in 2005. The first public LTE Service was by Telia Sonera in Oslo (yep! that’s the company behind Ncell!). As per the stats from Global mobile Suppliers’ Association (GSA) 331 LTE Networks have been commercially launched in 112 countries and the map shows the countries which have LTE.

It further confirms that new operators and countries are thinking of deploying LTE services and the list includes Nepal too.

THE SPECULATION:

So, basically, there’s some ground as to the availability of LTE in Nepal. From insider news, we’ve come to know that NTC will bring 4G  LTE network by 2015. The announcement can be anytime soon in the first quarter to third-quarter. Moreover, Huawei, the leaders in providing and assisting Ncell and NTC with hardware and other technical departments have launched Honor 6 LTE model in Nepal, which could also be a strong hint. Since there is none better to know about the LTE operation than its hardware providers, we think LTE should soon launch in Nepal.

So that’s all for now, and umm yeah, most of you have seen that 4G sign already on your device, right? Well don’t get crazy, HSDPA+ networks (preferably 3.5G) are also quoted “4G” so that’s what being displayed!

For true LTE experience, we have to wait…but how long, not much, i guess!Have anything to add to this story? Leave in the comments below!
