Motorola Milestone 2 blurry pictures problem

Image
The Motorola Milestone 2 Camera is a deception. It is announced as a 5 Mega pixel flash and autofocus one, but the photo quality is far from being acceptable. Besides the strange cycle bug , that is, every 45 days the autofocus software would go crazy and you will get blurry photos for 45 days. Then when the 45 days are over the good period begins and you will get 45 days of good shots. Most people who reported this problem had their smartphone replaced ! There is no clear solution for this photo blur problem. After sometime the images are completely out of focus all the time. Image taken from the Motorola Support forum Shoud I buy the Motorola Milestone 2 with this blurry pictures problem? Happily, I was able to detect this before buying my Motorola :) I've changed my mind to the Motorola Milestone XT720. Too bad for the Motorola Milestone 2, because the keyboard feature is very atractive. I'm not saying that all handsets come with this bug, but it could be you

Samsung Galaxy Note review

Image
Want a bigger screen? Want to use your finger and an smart pen too? Want to make phone calls? Samsung Galaxy Note review The fantastic Samsung Galaxy Note proposes a super 5.3" screen with a 1200 x 800 resolution HD Amoled. The design reminds me of the Samsung Galaxy S 2 and it is extremely thin (9.6 mm) and light (178 grs) Samsung has implemented a new technology called S Pen that will allow to write or design on your smartphone screen. The 8 mega pixel camera can record HD videos , there is a smaller camera on the front for video conferences. The battery (2500 amp) boost the smartphone autonomy, with a 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor and everything is put together under Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread. I think that the most amazing feature is the splendid screen , where you can read, write and design in colors. You can also play and watch films or course, but you can give it a proffessional use too, taking notes while in a meeting or drawing graphics. The smart pen i

The first mobile phone was invented in 1973

Image
First mobile phone invented The first mobile phone was invented in 1973 By the American researcher, Martin Cooper, now 83 years old. "The very first mobile phone weighed over a kilo and the battery charge did not exceed 20 minutes, which was also really good because you could not hold this thing for a long time, "recalled yesterday the former researcher at Motorola. "We made a revolution with this phone. Before, we called somewhere and today call somebody, "he further said at the 31st International Conference of data protection and privacy. The phones today are too complex with too many applications and gadgets, he said. "Every time we create a universal tool doing all sorts of different things, it doesn't perform one single thing neatly," said the experienced researcher. He also said that the future would be made of "a number of specialized tools that focus on one single thing to improve our lives." In recent years, the modern too

Drupal adsense in content

Drupal 6 has many modules with lots of functions to do things, but if you can get to do things without installing a new module is much better!

Search the line:   <?php print $content ?> and insert this code right before <?php // Show ads when user is not logged in if(!user_is_logged_in()) { // Show ads in the middle of content $adsBlock='<script type="text/javascript">PLACE YOUR JAVASCRIPT CODE HERE</script>'; $arr = explode ("</p>", $content); // center content ads insert ads after first paragraph $arr[1] = $ads

Ubuntu 10: window buttons to the right

Image
One more thing with Ubuntu 10: windows buttons are on the left instead of the right trying to imitate the Apple style. I prefer the buttons to the right for a simple reason: the window title is the first thing you see to the left and the whole window top space is so much better optimized. I really hope they revert this: hey people from Canonical do not micmick Apple stuff, please, keep on thinking about users as before!  I had to do some search to find how to change this one and here is the trick: > Press ALT+F2 button to launch the Run application window > Type gconf-editor Navigate to Apps -> Metacity -> General Double click on button_layout, values are: close,minimize,maximize: Change values to menu:close,minimize,maximize Well, I did mine to menu:minimize,maximize,close To get the close control all to the right That makes it easy if use both Windows and Linux regurlaly

Back to Ubuntu 10

Last night a virus killed my Windows XP, katusha a form or worm attacked my laptop.  I decided to get back to Ubuntu as fighting against viruses, reformating my laptop every six month and reinstalling the OS and all the software can be annoying! And now wich Ubuntu version to choose ? I prefer a LTS (Long Term Support) version of course. The 10.04 LTS version "The Lucid Lynx" is supported till April 2013. For all the other new versions a 6 months update is due. I've tried Ubuntu 11.04 but it slowed down my laptop too much so I went back to Ubuntu 10. But there are so many thing I still love about Windows (omg!, ha!) I really love the Arial font type as it is my favourite for internet browsing. Times New Roman and Courier New are still the best! In fact Courier New is my favourite for programming . So, to install the Microsoft font package in Ubuntu just type: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts Anwser yes to all the license questions. I've opened Firefo

Nokia update Symbian Belle

Image
Nokia annouces a Symbian major update " Belle " and launches 3 new smartphones models, the Nokia 600, 700 and 701. Before the  complete migration of all its mobile devices to Windows Phone 7,  Nokia redouble its efforts to achieve its goal of  commercializing over 150  million Symbian devices by 2015. After the update Anna's mobile operating system introduced recently and the launch of the new models of Symbian smartphones, the Finnish manufacturer has unveiled a new version of its OS house. Called " Symbian Belle ", (a nice name, though)  the update of the mobile platform is a major one. It provides a more streamlined interface, inspired by Android , which offers up to six customizable home screens, with new widgets, and better a management. Belle also extends the use of wireless technology NFC (Near Field Communications) introduced by Anna, and can use it to share pictures, videos, contacts with other NFC devices compatible. I think it is a great

Nokia resurrection?

Image
I am a Nokia fan, to me they are the best telephones in the world, but for the last 3 years I think they've missed something in the way to the smartphones market. Stubbornly leaning on the Symbian OS didn't do good to their sales and production affairs. The Executive Director of Finland's Nokia, the world's number one of mobile phones, announced the release of its new smartphone with Windows 7 Phone for the end of 2011 with mass production in 2012. "We are increasingly confident that our first Windows 7 Phone model will be comming out before the end of the year, with mass production in 2012," said Stephen Elop, who was speaking at the show CommunicAsia Singapore , where Nokia is back after 10 year of absence. Nevertheless the online Nokia store have been closed in Spain and France from may 2011, will they reopened them for the new Nokia? On the other hand for the last month of June Ovi Store hits over 6 million download per day corresponding to Symbian

Making Wordpress work without htaccess

Image
To make work Wordpress pretty permalinks structure you need htaccess on your site. htaccess is a file that is at the root of your web site to make the Apache rewrite mode work with structured url. The default "ugly" Wordpress url looks like this: http://mysite.com/?p=SOME_NUMBER To change this url structure to a prettiest one like this: http://mysite.com/year/month/post-name/ You need htaccess enabled, but sometimes your webhosting doesn't allow htaccess, so here is the fixing for it: Connect to the wordpress-admin dashboard and go to Settings > Permalinks Choose the custom structure option and fill the field with these values: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ The trick here is adding the /index.php/ before the other parameters and that is telling the path info to take the index document (index.php) into consideration, this will make work Wordpress without htaccess. Well, this this is an "almost" pretty solution to make work Wordpress wi

Is social networking good for SEO?

Yes indeed, social networking is good for increasing your visits , but do not rely only on it. Using Facebook, Twitter and other social networks can increase your visits, but only quality will retain your visitors. And think of it: social networking is a trend we don't really know how log will be high and on. To keep social networking high you need to mantain a regular activity in social networking sites, I mean, you need to invest your time on it, be an active member, be connected twitting, clicking on I like buttons, posting messages on the wall ad so on, I would say: take social networking as a second activity, your primary one should be producing quality sites and SEO optimized sites most of all, this can take you to firsts search positions without all the social stuff. People are still using forums, posting on forums and you can always post on forums and have your web site in the signature, but how long can last a Facebook page? I've heard of some people complainin

Future Cell Phone Technology

Image
I was just thinking, where would be the next step of a future cell phone technology? Because nowdays the cell phone technology is too marketing oriented. One of the reasons why I've decided to never get an Iphone it is because the first thing you've to do with it is to insert your credit card data! Well, not everything is in credit card and touch screen, Steven Jobs is too confident, he wants to monopolize the cell phone world! But, what would it make a real future cell phone technology, a real revolution? What would you spect from a phone, what new features that you don't have today? Wouldn't you like to have an holographic projection of your loved ones, for example? Let's say you would like to talk to your dear one, if you could see her in an 3D holographic proyection wouldn't it be that nice? Picture courtesy from: http://petitinvention.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/cobalto-zafiro/ We want original features now, everybody likes Wifi, 3G, high speed sur

Nokia X3 review

Image
The Nokia X3 is S40 based and it is one of the first telephones with dual management: the keyboard and the touch screen. It is a fairly cheap phone with fantastic music player features. In this picture you can see the Nokia X3-02, candy bar and there is the slide version of the model also. So it may be a good idea to buy it if you are planning to pass to a touch screen while having a physical keyboard to write messages. I was talking to someone and I activated the loud speakers with my chin (it seems that I smile a lot while I talk) so I would say that the touch screen is quite sensitive. There is a key dedicated to music and volumes keys too. The earphone sounds has a very good quality while in conversation and the antenna reception is excelent as with all Nokia phones.  The look is really slick and elegant a very fine mobile phone, the dimensions are 10,6 x 4,8 x 1 cm and it is very light 94 grams only. So it is a good companion to keep in your pocket to get around everywhere

Wordpress Sitemap without plugin

For all of you who've got a Wordpress blog, and if you ever wondered if you could have a site map of all of your posts without plugin. This is a handy script that does it. I prefer not to install plugins if I can manage things in a lighter way, so I'm less updates dependent. Because the thing about using Wordpress is that you should update the Wordpress core and plugins every now and then (too often, to me) This morning I've tested it on my Wordpress web site, and it works like a charm, here is how to do it: Open your template folder Open the page.php and save it as sitemap.php Replace the Replace <?php the_content(); ?> line with the code you see down here: Copy this code inside the sitemap.php file, replace the <?php the_content(); ?> withthe following code snippet: <h3>Pages</h3> <ul><?php wp_list_pages("title_li=" ); ?></ul> <h3>Feeds</h3> <ul> <li><a title="Full conte

This accesory is not optimized for this iPhone

Are you getting the message: This accesory is not optimized for this iPhone ? Well, this message pops up every now and then and the iPhone was over heating some times. I'm happy because I repaired two phones today! My Sony Ericsson too ! Well, the iPhone thinks it is plugged into a device and you may have sound and battery problems too so the auto protect mechanism stops the normal use of the phone. The problem is all the dust, dirt and crap at the bottom connector. I've just cleaned the iPhone connector carefully. Here is the SIMPLE solution: Turn off the iPhone Spray some cold air to the bottom connector Take a toothbrush and put one drop of contact cleaner on it Brush out the dirt carefully Spray some cold air again Turn it on It works perfectly!

Nokia 2710 review

Image
I've just got my new Nokia 2710 navigation edition, here's the look of it: It is a fair nice phone for for a very low price. And it is got integrated GPS that works quite well. The GPS maps can be updated for free and the GPS feature is free for life ! You just got to sign in for an OVI account and install the sotfware, you can install maps for almost every country in the world. The screen is very clear and sharp. It has a 2M camera for photos and videos. The memory can be extended through a Micro SD card. I've upgraded to a faster Micro SD card and the GPS maps load quite fast ! In general when you upgrade the Micro SD card if you get a good fast one, everything in the phone will work faster too ! Photo and video quality are acceptable, but not the greatest, and one of the greatest things for me is the standard 3.5mm jack, so you can directly plug in your favourite stereo headsets, and the standard micro USB to connect it to your PC. The battery stands for d

Solving DSL problems

It has been a nightmare all these last months with Free ADSL connection problems. After 4 visits from their technicians they change the Freebox V5 and one week later the problems were still there! I've tried the ferrite bead trick, it helped to get a little bit more signal, the ATM ( Asynchronous Transfer Mode) indicator went up 100 only (I was at 3000/4000 k when the usual is 9000/1000 k/seconds) and no TV, internet, telephone. But yesterday I decided to by a new ADSL filter and a new RJ11 cable . The ADSL filter is a Belkin one and the cable is a 10 meters cable of good quality, I had a 15 meters cable of lower quality. I plugged everything and BOOM! The ATM indicator went up to 9700 k/s for the first time!

Create a Facebook Fan page

I haven't been able to create a profile yet as the phone number validation doesn't work in Facebook now!

301 Redirecting and keeping your Page Rank

If you've changed your domain name but you would like to keep your Page Rank? You should do a 301 redirect, meaning that your page has been moved. The best way to do this it is through the .htaccess file but some times you would not have access to this file, specially in free hosted sites. So you can use a simple PHP snipet code, just copy and paste this <? Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); Header( "Location: http://www.my-new-domain.com" ); ?> First thing in your php page and for each page that you want to redirect. This way you will be redirecting pages to your new domain and keep your well deserved Page Rank

Debranding Sony Ericsson c510

Image
How to debrand the phone Sony Ericsson c510. I didn't like the Vodafone customisation, so after several tests and trials I've found the best way to do it. You will need these files: The main and fs files A custom pack, that you should NOT unzip. The custom pack has important data from your country phone providers The tool a2uploader (See image here:). I've used the R1FA035 files version for the c510, not the latest which have RECEPTION problems. So basically you will: First flash the Main and FS files Then update customs files with a2uploader (In ZIP format) In detail: 1.Open the main and add fs files with a2uploader. Click on flash. 2.Your phone is turned OFF . Hold on "C" and plug it, the flashing process will start... (IMPORTANT: your battery should be fully charged ) 3.When it is done, unplug the phone, take the battery out and reinsert it 4. Now lets customize the phone, or finalize it. 5.

Disassembling Sony Ericsson C510

I had to dissasemble my Sony Ericsson C510 . There was a reception problem and I couldn't get any call, it was like the network was gone. In fact, there was no network signal at all. Here you can see all the different pieces: I've sprayed it with contact cleaner and once I've assembled everything, it works perfectly! The problem was that the little cable down to the antenna (the smal piece you can see on the bottom left corner) was unplugged, so all I had to do was to plug it back on! The reception has boosted and I get a strong signal even when I am in a elevator! Well contact cleaner went through too much, even here: Beside the lcd screen, and now there are some marks on the screen, the cell phone works perfectly though! So if you are going to use the contact cleaner spray, spray only a little bit and be careful and only spray where needed , those parts that cannot be damaged, like circuits, but mostly do not spray the LCD screen!

Resurrect laptop battery

    First of all I would like to thank people who post interesting and helpfull things on the Internet, thanks to the post from someone in Australia I was able to save and resurrect my laptop battery. Here are the principles: We take an overcharged capacitor as being the problem and set to finding a solution. We need to use power plugs with three inputs - neg, pos and earth . There must be a switch to this individual power plug so we can turn it on/off. (If there is no switch in the power plug use one of those plug extension with a switch on it). How to do it: Plug the laptop with the battery (Power ON) Take out the battery ( Power is still ON ) Switch the power of the plug off, the plug is plugged but the power if OFF. The idea is that the capacitor can bleed through the earth wire. That's all, battery resurrected!
