Android OS, a major player in the Smartphone Market, is surely power packed with features.

The latest release ANDROID MARSHMALLOW (6.0 and above) does come with exciting features ,but one of the biggest let-downs being the head-ache it causes while installing Apps.

I’ll be considering the Lenovo K3 Note (K50a40, Indian edition) which received the Marshmallow update on 20^th March, 2016. 

But this Tutorial works for ANY ANDROID 6.0 and above DEVICES. If the below pictures depict your situation, you’re in the right place.

A few things to be done before we can proceed to actual process:

-> Check your SD Card Status. In Android 6.0, you’ve the ability to make the SD Card as a portable one OR you can merge it with EXISTING INTERNAL STORAGE.

-> Now, merging with internal storage causes the card to be encrypted and you CANNOT TRANSFER ANY FILES FROM PC TO MOBILE.

-> But, making it portable FORCES YOU TO INSTALL ALL APPS on INTERNAL STORAGE.

Make sure you create a backup of SD Card in PC Before Proceeding.

-> I’ll be considering this case (i.e. Merged SD Card as the internal storages in phones are quite low.)

If your phone has a merged SD Card then it’ll look something like below.

-> To open the below pic: Settings -> Storage&USB

-> Uninstall the apps which aren’t running. (in my case it was Clash of Clans , Adobe Reader, Camscanner, Telegram … and the list goes on)

-> Now, GO TO :  SETTINGS -> STORAGE & USB -> [CLICK YOUR SD CARD] -> [CLICK MORE, OR THE OPTIONS BUTTON BESIDE HOME BUTTON] -> PRESS EJECT.

-> Wait for some time until SD Card ejects .

 Now, Go to Playstore , download and install the app again.

-> Open the app and VIOLA! It works without a hassle!.

-> Now, go back to SETTINGS -> STORAGE & USB  and do the below to remount it.

-> You can now go to Internal Storage and move the apps and it’ll still work as before!.

"Ah! this screen isn't FULL HD, the touch sensitivity isn't great! Is this what I wasted so much money on??" is what you might have thought cursing your phone which you protect dearly more than your dear life !

Well, you must have also felt that the phones need to be more rigid, more portable and theft proof and yet the same time ,retain the impeccable specs. So you have landed in the proper place! (?)

A group of four just thought on the same lines and their aim was to "Delete Screens Off your life."
This project, called the "CICRET" is a band worn around your hand which lets to handle your skin as a touchscreen smartphone! Amazing right?

The Bracelet is still a PROTOTYPE and is still undergoing the funding cycles. This type of Bracelet will also give a tough competition to the Smartwatch market. Cicret has nearly no dependency on the mobile it gets paired with.

The Circet uses a Pico projector to throw your mobile's screen into your arm. It also features eight proximity sensors which the bracelet uses to detect your finger position so as to feedback controls. This means you can use your phone as you would normally, but all right there on your arm while the device itself sits in your pocket or bag.

Unlike other wearables this could offer the most comprehensive use of your phone without taking it out.

Circet features its own processor, storage, vibration feedback, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as well as the sensors and projector. We have to wonder how long the battery on a device like this will actually last though.




The campaign for the bracelet finished on Indiegogo where it was going for $400, now for $250 for donors. The campaign has now gone from the site along with the video where it says the company is "actually modifying a few things… so [will] be back soon."





Winding up, yes this might look like a good project, although many people have voiced against, stating that the team hasn't delivered for the past 2 years. The team's video on the prototype seems to have resolved the doubts.

While Google still working on its modular phone "Project Ara", the PuzzlePhone is also gaining a fair share of attention. In a modular phone, you can easily upgrade or repair by replacing or swapping out parts. But there's no standard yet, and every company is having its own take on modular phones. The PuzzlePhone by Circular Devices Ltd. is an interesting take on modular phones and features three easy to change modules: Brain, Spine and Heart.

As the word suggests, the Brain contains the main electronics: processor(CPU), RAM, modem, graphics processor(GPU), storage capacity and camera. The Spine includes the display and associated electronics. The Heart contains the battery and other electronics.



The creators are running a campaign to develop a working prototype. The PuzzlePhone includes  a 5-inch display with a 1080 resolution (1920 x 1080). The phone will be powered by a 64-bit octa-core ARM processor with 3GB of RAM and a storage capacity of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. The rear camera will be a 12 megapixel camera with flash, while the front-facing camera is 5 megapixels. It also includes a 2800mAh battery, NFC and a USB 2.0/3.0 Type-C. The phone will run the latest Android OS at the time of the launch.

The company Circular Devices Ltd. is hoping to raise $250,000 to cover the production costs of the PuzzlePhone. The European Union is covering majority of the R&D costs. The company promises that it will continue to produce the phone with private funding even if the campaign fails.

On its campaign, Circular Devices has featured 3 levels: Very Early Bird First Edition which is limited to 250 backers and costs $333 and will be shipped by September 2016, Early Bird which is limited to 500 backers and costs $444 and will be shipped by October 2016, and the Limited Edition which is limited to 259 backers and costs $777 and will be shipped by September of this year.

Lots of aspects of modular phone is still in its infancy and various companies are producing their models like the Project Ara, Fairphone2 and the Puzzlephone to create their own niche in this competitive and growing industry.

The iPad pro was just released last month with Apple coming back to the stylus genre. Microsoft, which has been stagnating in the smartphone market has finally come up with a killer! It clearly aims to cut out a huge chunk from the Laptop Market.

During the launch of the iPad Pro we said how we would have preferred the iPad Pro to have run Mac OS. And for good reason. If you create a tablet meant for work, then it must be able to replace the predominant laptops, not to get a smart phone OS on an enlarged 

screen

With the Specification Sheet Microsoft has just released, this Surface Pro 4 has just packed everything in the right space and has not left any room for competition!

Before diving into finer details lets have a quick look at the specifications sheet:

• 
  
• Processor: Intel 6th-gen processor (Core M3, i5 or i7)

• Graphics: Intel HD graphics 515 (M3), Intel HD graphics 520 (i5) and Intel Iris (i7) graphic cards

• Stylus: Microsoft Pen with custom Touch G5 chipset by Microsoft. Surface Pen stylus (five colors and interchangeable pen tips, more like apple?) 

• Dimensions: 7.93 x 11.5 x 0.33 inches (201.4 x 292.1 x 8.4 mm, yes huge but manageable not like the Apple "SLATE") 

• Weight: Between 766 and 786g (depending on processor)

• Display: 12.3-inch PixelSense display with 2736 x 1824 resolution. 3:2 aspect ratio with 267 ppi and Gorilla Glass 4 screen. The resolution is good but, the exact results from camera have yet to be seen.  

• RAM: Choice of 4/8/16 GB

• Storage: Choice of 128/256/512GB/1TB SSD (One Drive yet to be stated.) 

• Networking: Wi-Fi 802.11 ac/802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 LE support. Supports LTE and that's great for Indian Market! 

• Supports microSD card 

• USB 3.0 and Mini DisplayPort connectivity

• Camera: 8MP rear and 5MP front-facing camera, both supporting 1080p HD recording. lol Front camera, "lets take a selfie! " But as its primarily a larger tab-computer hybrid, so I didn't expect a high end camera.

• Fingerprint sensor

• Battery: Up to 9 hours of video playback. Could have been way better. But practical hours of usage yet to come.  

• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

• Surface Pro 4 docking stations (four USB 3.0, two 4K DisplayPort and Ethernet ports)

• Surface Pro Type Cover (individual buy)

AND FINALLY TO THE PRICE : 

Well the Surface series haven't had much success in the Indian Market owing to the high price ( over Rs 1.5 lakhs)

So we can expect the price of this to start at about Rs 2 lakh.

But the most Interesting part? 

There’s also a new Surface pen with a new touch controller chip that refines the input when you’re writing or drawing. The battery inside the pen lasts a full year—a metaphorical nod to liquid ink inside an old-school pen, the company says. Fortunately, the Surface pen draws from its analog in other ways as well. Using it on the Surface Pro 4 feels like you’re actually writing with ink on paper. The eraser—which Microsoft pointedly noted Apple’s Pencil stylus lacks altogether—feels similarly lifelike.

The pen has a few other satisfying surprises as well. The magnetic locking to the Surface Pro 4 is stronger than expected, helping minimize the odds that you’ll misplace it. You can also hold down the the cap to summon Cortana, Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, a trick that worked as advertised when we were able to try it in person.

There are days when you might be waving your pen to and fro creating imaginary drawings in air and there are times too when you might feel that there must be a compact pen which will create a model as you keep moving you pen.

Yes, there are solutions this time, possible with 3D Printing, but that's just too hectic. 3D printing requires you to generate a drwaing in the computer, put the right material in the printer and finally wait for it to process and give the object you required only for you to realise that a small part was missed and it might take ages to print another! 

Well, behold no more because 3Dsimo Mini is focused upon delivering that dream of yours, with many more goodies!

It is the very first multi material 3D Pen in the world. Although being the smaller version of the 3D simo released in 2013, this pen is a beast when it comes to functionality.

3D Drawing:

---

Create jewelry, figures, accessories, decorations, artworks and much more. You can even fix any plastic items. As in classic 3D printer technology, molten plastic is extruded from the die and cools down rapidly. It is therefore possible to draw solid structures in the air. There are no material limitations due to adjustable temperature and speed

Burning:

---

Become an acclaimed artist. Express your creativity and start to change things around. Turn an old belt, pair of shoes, or jacket into unique fashion piece with your personal touch. Transform it into a unique fashion accessory. You may even start an online shop with custom-made accessories! This extension can also be used for the treatment of 3D printed models and their smoothing, making your creations truly flawless.
Soldering:

---

For the engineer within you. You no longer need to buy an expensive adjustable soldering station. 3DSimo mini handles this function, heating up the tip under 10 seconds to an incredible 490°C, while still being safe to handle. Now you yourself can repair a torn USB cable,damaged earphones, or start creating your own electrical equipment.

Cutting Foam Function:

---

Shape out anything you want. With this extension, your imagination becomes the limit. Intended primarily for designers, modelers and architects, you can now create functional RC models (aircraft, boats, cars), buildings, art objects and so much more. If you own a 3D printer, you know how difficult it is to remove the support, and 3DSimo mini will help you with this as well. Create them from polystyrene, plexiglas, balsa wood or foam.

The list of materials which are compatible with it look endless!

Well, thats all guys for now. For a better illustration make sure to watch this video from the 3DSimo guys themselves. And, also make sure to support them on kickstarter: https://goo.gl/lb8ISa

Standing for long duration of time has proved to have harmful effects on our body and today's world of Information Technology, most people spend most of their sitting in front of computers and thus leading a less physically active lifestyle. According to Harvard Medical School, sitting at a desk or workstation for hours on end can lead to back issues, increased blood pressure, diabetes and even cancer. Even regular exercise cannot offset the negative effects of sitting for 8-12 hours a day while our work demands us to sit 8-12 hours a day in front of the computer.

Uprite Ergo has the perfect solution to this problem: a Sit2Stand adjustable workstation. While height adjustable workstations have been available for years, Sit2Stand increased the bar in performance, reliability and affordability. Most adjustable workstations cost upward of $2,000 and take up a majority of available desk space and often need to be clamped on, positioning it in an unusable or awkward space. "We're excited to launch what we feel is an elegant, affordable solution to sitting all day," Uprite Ergo founder John Mosher said. "The stylish, easy-to-use Sit2Stand Workstation can help transform a sedentary office routine into one that includes more healthful standing."

UpriteErgo Sit2Satnd has a neat design offering a sit/stand  solution occupying small desktop foot-print. An adjustable column with a locking lever makes it easy to adjust and safe for your computer. With a sleek and attractive design, it is made up of durable anodized aluminum and scratch resistant phenolic board work surfaces. It comes in 3 versions: a standard version for most standard monitors, a heavy duty version for heavy monitors and all-in-ones, and finally a dual monitor version. Its platform base allows the workstation to sit on top of existing desks. Such features make it a good affordable alternative to current adjustable workstations. UpriteErgo is seeking adopters trough their Kickstarter campaign.

The long #HYPE has come to an end. Chinese startup OnePlus has launched its second flagship OnePlus 2 crammed up with impressive specs and a cheap price tag starting from $329. OnePlus continues to use an improvised version of the invite system that was successful with the OnePlus 1. Sign Up here to get in line for your invite and OnePlus 2.

OnePlus 2 has an impressive design with a 5.5 inch 1080p display, Aluminium+Magnesium frame and feels solid. The displays also has 1500:1 contrast ratio. On the right side of the body is the volume rocker and sleep/wake key and on the left side of the body is a smart three-stage slider key. It is used for adjusting notifications. It ties in with Google's priority notifications system and will disable all notifications, or let most important ones. It makes it easier to switch between settings, otherwise you'll have to waken up the phone to do this.

The new feature on the OnePlus 2 is the fingerprint scanner placed in the home button beneath the screen. The home button is more like a touchpad and not a physical button, which is quite amazing. Just like the iPhone, it requires multiple touches to learn your fingerprint, but it is faster than Apple's Touch ID.

The OnePlus 2 runs OnePlus's Oxygen OS which is based on Android. And looking at the hardware, it uses the Snapdragon 810 processor, which is known for its heating issues. But the OnePlus promises that the OnePlus 2 will be cooler than ever. Hopefully they have made some tweaks to reduce the heating.

OnePlus 2 is one of the first phones that will utilize the new reversible USB Type-C standard for its charging and data port. So connecting a charger is now fast and less frustrating. It also sports a 4 GB RAM and comes in 2 models with varying storage: 16GB and 64GB. The 16GB phone costs $329 and the with the 64GB phone the price shoots up to $389.

The camera of the second flagship of OnePlus is a 13MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5MP front camera and shoots 4k videos . The camera's laser autofocus system locks in a touch-free and precise focus in under 0.2 seconds. Also the Optical Image Stabilization automatically corrects for unwanted shakes and bumps.

The OnePlus offers a variety of style swaps including bamboo, rosewood, Apricot wood, Kevlar and Sandstone. As I mentioned at the beginning, OnePlus sticks to its invite system which is somewhat annoying but the improvised system looks more promising. Click Here to sign up now and get in line to get a invite and your OnePlus 2.
