Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon SDK for Android

Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon SDK for Android at the Uplinq 2012 developers conference, giving developers and device makers the ability to differentiate their applications on devices by exposing a new set of value-added features. A preview release of the SDK is now available on Qualcomm's developer site and the full SDK will be available to device manufacturers and developers in the coming months.

The Snapdragon SDK for Android enables mobile developers to access next-generation technology and features of Snapdragon processors via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) not otherwise available. Initially, the SDK will support devices with the Snapdragon S4 8960 processor, and it is anticipated that the SDK will support future Snapdragon processors across multiple tiers over time.

The Snapdragon SDK for Android is designed to allow developers to harness the additional capabilities of devices with Snapdragon processors while retaining compatibility across multiple Android devices. Together with the latest hardware development devices, including the Snapdragon S4 MDP smartphone and the Snapdragon S4 MDP tablet, developers will be able to develop on-target with a suite of Snapdragon SDK capabilities, allowing for testing and debugging in advance of commercial handset releases.

Some of the new features and benefits of the Snapdragon APIs in the preview release of the SDK include:

• facial processing, such as blink and smile detection, which makes it easier to take better pictures of people in groups;
• burst capture, which leverages zero shutter lag to photograph a stream of images at once to select the best shot;
• surround sound recording for better audio capture;
• hardware echo cancellation for better real-time audio experiences;
• sensor gestures (tap-left/tap-right, push/pull, face-up/face-down, tilt) that enable developers and device makers to push the envelope on new, differentiated user interfaces;
• low power always on geofencing capabilities; and
• indoor location that enables apps to continue providing accurate location information even when the user is indoors.

iPhone Dev-Team announces a baseband downgrade option for iPhone 3GS, 3G

The iPhone Dev-Team has announced a baseband downgrade option in RedSn0w 0.9.14b1 for those who are using the iPad’s 06.15 baseband on the iPhone3G or iPhone3GS.

Typically you'd have the 06.15 baseband if you unlock with ultrasn0w but updated your iPhone baseband past 05.13.04. With this new capability, you can now downgrade specifically from 06.15 to 05.13.04 (even if you never had 05.13.04 on that device before). This gives you the best of both worlds: ultrasn0w compatibility and a normal iPhone baseband with full GPS and the ability to use stock IPSWs again.

Steps:
1. Use the "Extras->Select IPSW" button in redsn0w to tell it which firmware version you have installed (new-bootrom 3GS users can usually skip this step but it doesn't hurt for them to do it too).
2. Do a controlled shutdown of your iPhone ("slide to power off"). This step is very important to avoid mount problems when the ramdisk is running!
3. Go back to the first screen and click "Jailbreak". Enable the "Downgrade from iPad baseband" checkbox, disable Cydia if you already have it installed, and click Next proceed through the normal DFU ramdisk steps.

Note: The "Flashing Baseband" step TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to complete (3-8 minutes).

For those who are wondering if you can update your 3G or 3GS to 06.15 solely for the purposes of downgrading to 05.13.04, the answer is "yes" for 3G owners, and "maybe" for 3GS owners. The iPad baseband is not compatible with 3GS units manufactured week 34 of 2011 or later. If you have an iPhone3GS and if digits 3-5 of its Serial Number are 134 or later (xx134…), then you should NOT try to install the 06.15 baseband on your 3GS! It will brick your radio, preventing both the downgrade from working and normal iPhone software from using it as a phone! Be warned!

Samsung intros Galaxy S III Enterprise Friendly version in the US

Samsung Mobile is simplifying enterprise adoption with the introduction of SAFE (Samsung Approved for Enterprise) and the first SAFE-branded smartphone in the United States, the Galaxy S III, which will be available at AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular by July. To aid prosumers and corporations in accessing the most innovative smartphone on the market, Samsung is also introducing SAFE2SWITCH, a trade-up program that offers competitive pricing for qualifying smartphones for both individuals and enterprise customers.

SAFE – Optimized for the Enterprise

SAFE provides a comprehensive approach to making Android devices secure and manageable by systematically meeting the rapidly evolving needs of IT and the growing number of businesses allowing employees to "bring your own device" (BYOD) to work. Samsung created SAFE as a way to defragment the Android OS across multiple versions from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich at U.S. carriers. Out of the box, the SAFE-branded Galaxy S III supports a full suite of enterprise-ready features and capabilities with support for 338 IT Policies. This includes on-device AES-256 bit encryption, enhanced support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and support for industry-leading Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions.

Over the last 12 months, Samsung has surpassed its next nearest handset and smartphone competitors to become No. 1 globally and now has its sights set on the enterprise. Working closely with enterprise customers and industry-leading solutions providers, Samsung developed a thorough quality assurance program. This program begins with MDM and VPN solutions providers using Samsung's software development kit to deeply integrate their solution on the SAFE device. Once the development effort is completed, Samsung and the solution provider then thoroughly test and verify the device's support for the MDM and/or VPN software. This collaboration, coupled with the testing process, creates solutions that are optimized for SAFE devices and enterprise use including adoption within regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services and government.  

Galaxy S III – Powerful, Collaborative, Secure

The Galaxy S III offers secure features and capabilities that may be used in a wide range of business situations to improve efficiency and productivity.

• AllShare Play - Group Cast: Securely share PowerPoint presentations and PDFs with business partners also using Galaxy S III devices
• Share Shot: Quickly and easily compile and share photos with colleagues and contacts
• S Beam One Touch Sharing (NFC and Wi-Fi Direct): Quickly exchange contact and meeting information or company documents by simply tapping phones together. S Beam can also be controlled via an MDM solution.
• Intelligent Display and Motion: Focus on the job at hand with intuitive features like Direct Call and Smart Stay
• HD Super AMOLED Display: Review detailed plans or blueprints with brilliant 4.8" HD Super AMOLED display on second-generation rugged Corning Gorilla Glass
• Samsung TecTiles: NFC programmable tags and mobile application transform how businesses, both large and small, engage their customers

SAFE2SWITCH Prosumer / Enterprise Trade-In Program

With the launch of the SAFE-branded Galaxy S III, Samsung is announcing the availability of a trade-up program called SAFE2SWITCH which simplifies the transition to Samsung SAFE devices from Samsung or other manufacturers' smartphones. Both prosumers and corporate customers alike can take advantage of this program which offers very competitive trade-in values in real-time from their existing smartphone or Internet-connected device.

Giveaway- Get UseNeXT Premium Account Free

Last time, we gave away Binverse Usenet premium account, and this time we’re giving away 5 UseNeXT "premium-prepaid" accounts worth around €90 or $120 (thanks to Michael of UseNeXT) which you normally can’t buy on their site and these accounts only expire if no download volume left. Sounds great!! isn’t it? But before we jumped on UseNeXT giveaway, here are few things you need to know about UseNeXT.

UseNeXT is the largest European Usenet Provider, which gives you unlimited access to the fantastic world of Usenet where you fully exploit your internet connection and download files at maximum speed and this high download speed is secured via eight server farms operated in the US and Europe.

Files remain on the servers for 976 days, whereas the retention time for messages is 1,000 days. As far as security point of view they use 256-bit SSL encryption.

To get started with UseNeXT, you need their Newsreader "Tangysoft", enter your credentials and you’re ready to "rock n roll".

If you first look at interface – its decent and easy to use, gives you one click access to newsgroups, FreeZone (where you can find free Usenet content provided by the UseNeXT and you can access this content for FREE, no traffic volume will be charged), Search, transfer list (files you’re downloading), wizard, files, chat and setting. At the bottom, you’ll find information about your download speed, data size, time left, and account storage. You can even choose server from Atimto Usenet Index, NFONews.com, NBZmatrix and ngindex.

If you’re looking for any file just search-> select your file and start downloading at full speed without waiting. The only problem I’ve have faced while trying this software is that transfer list is showing files of size 1.8GB and on download size (at bottom) 4GB. And the answer I got from UseNeXT support is

There could be two reasons for this problem:

1. Every download has so called PAR2 Files attached to repair the file if there was a problem with the download. These files are normally not bigger than a few MB. And sometimes there are some “Preview Files” attached where you could see the first minutes of a movie or something.

2. The second explanation could be what I told you before. You maybe have any other files in the “Transfer List” and those files are added to the “To-Download-Status”.

Next time when I opened the UseNeXT, I was able to see my remaining download list. This problem occur only once to me and it doesn’t mean that you also face the same problem or other and just in case you have, you can contact their support staff.

If you’re interested you can try their service as they provide 14 days trial and 300GB download (but make sure you cancel your account within 14 days otherwise you’ll be charged.) But, if you win here you don’t have to put in your details and don’t have to pay anything. So are you ready?
