How To Make Browsing the Web Faster On Android

How To Make Browsing the Web Faster On Android

Hi Guys! Smartphones deliver a gigantic world of online content to you wherever you are, one page at a time. But that’s sort of the problem: One. Page. At. A. Time. The fundamentally modal nature of browsing the web on a mobile device leaves you staring at a page while you wait for it to load, and the myriad of sluggish URL shorteners and awful mobile webpages certainly don't help. With a few tweaks and apps, you can make browsing the web on Android a faster, more efficient experience.

                             


HERE A SOME APPS TO GET:

READ AND QUICKLY LINK BUBBLE:

app from noted developer Chris Lacy designed to make loading sluggish websites much less rage-inducing. You simply set Link Bubble as your default browser, then all the web links you tap on will trigger a small bubble off toward the edge of the screen. The page loads in the background while you go about your business, scanning feeds or tapping out an SMS or reading Twitter. When the progress bar on the bubble says it’s done loading, you can tap to open a floating browser window.

  

Advantage here is that you aren’t staring at a blank page, waiting for it to load. You save a few seconds here and there, but it doesn’t take you out of what you’re doing. The bubble with the pre-loaded page hangs out at the edge of the screen, and you can drag it around wherever you want, just like a Facebook chat head. If you have the paid version of Link Bubble ($5), you can open as many bubbles as you want in a single stack. This app is also smart enough not to intercept links that are better opened in official apps like Google+ and Google Maps.pro version of Link Bubble is also great for collecting multiple links that you want to check out later. Just go down your Twitter, RSS feed, or whatever and open links one after another. They wait for you in the stack, and you can easily share from Link Bubble to other apps. Just drag the bubble to the floating share button and pick the app or service you want to send the link to. The page can also be dumped into your favorite standard browser app if the limited feature set of Link Bubble isn’t cutting it.

BROWSE BETTER WITH CHROME BETA:

Chrome is a much better app on Android than it once was. With a few tweaks, you can make it even better, though. You should probably grab Chrome Beta from Google Play. It’s just as solid as the stable release, but you’ll get all the cool new features and improvements first.

  

Chrome settings and find bandwidth management. If you haven’t opted into Google’s data compression network, now is the time to toggle that settingOn. This will compress HTTP (not HTTPS) webpages by streamlining the code and replacing the images with smaller webp files. That should get pages loading a bit faster, but only some of Chrome’s settings are available from the standard menus.To really dig in and make Chrome faster, you’ll need to set some flags by typing chrome://flags/ in the omnibox. The page that loads will contain dozens of lines with esoteric names and sometimes amusing descriptions. Changing flags might cause stability issues, but you can always reset the app if things get weird.

PAGE ARTICLE"S POCKET:  

 several great page-saving services like Instapaper and Readability, but.Pocket is uniquely suited to improving your browsing experience. Pocket has a bit of a leg up on its competitors because the Android app is excellent and it’s very good at extracting multi-page content. Many websites arbitrarily split up articles on multiple pages to pump up the view count, but the problem is even worse on mobile devices. Many mobile web sites segment stories even further, requiring you to constantly mash “next” buttons that are conveniently located right next to ads.

Sony Upcoming Mobile's And Features

Sony Upcoming Mobile's And Features

Hello Friends! Sony is expanding its Xperia lineup by introducing the T3, a mid-range offering that ships with the thinnest profile of any 5.3-inch smartphone. Pricing and exact availability have not been announced just yet, but a global launch of the Xperia T3 is set for the end of July.The Xperia T3 ships with a 5.3-inch 720p HD Triluminos display, along with a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, 8 megapixel rear camera, and 1.1 megapixel front-facing shooter. While still impressive, the specs on the Xperia T3 plants it in the middle of the spectrum, which will likely give the smartphone a cheaper starting price.

                           

Internal hardware aside, the Xperia T3's design is also impressive. It does retain the Omnibalance approach that Sony introduced in the Xperia Z, but the T3 comes in at only 7mm and weighs only 148 grams. Compare this to the 8.1mm thin Samsung Galaxy S5 and the 7.6mm iPhone 5s. Of course, it comes with the usual Sony features and software, which is more understated than most custom Android interfaces. It's feels closer to stock Android, and I appreciate that.Sony's relationship with US carriers has gotten stronger in the past few years, debuting the Xperia Z and Z1S on T-Mobile and rumors have pointed to a Verizon-bound Xperia Z2. This in no way means that the T3 will be coming to the US, but it could be a very nice addition to a carrier's portfolio of mid-range smartphones.

Samsung Z Full Specifications And Features

Samsung Z Full Specifications And Features

Hi Guys! Samsung Z runs Tizen, an open-source operating system that’s based on Linux. You know, like Android. The phone itself is a gorgeous piece of hardware. A Samsung representative mentioned that its rectangular design was conjured up specifically for the Russian market, where the phone is debuting this year. It's a darn shame, too, because it'd be great to have something like this show up in the American market.  Z’s navigational buttons mirror those on the Samsung’s Galaxy devices; they fade in and out, too. The Z also features a bright and vibrant 4.9-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a quad-core 2.3GHZ processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Oh, and I almost forgot: it also features the same fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor as the Galaxy S5. 
     
                             

Tizen OS is based on the Linux Kernel, while apps are coded using WebKit and HTML5. Samsung touted that this particular iteration of Tizen had been optimized to utilize 20 percent less memory than previous versions.I was impressed with the way games ran on the OS, but it likely helps that the device is running a quad-core, Qualcomm-manufactured processor (a Samsung rep could not confirm which SoC is inside, but added that it does have an Adreno 330 GPU). There was a bit of stuttering as a few of the games started up, almost as if they were buffering, but the end result was smooth.Samsung Z looks and feels like every other Android-powered smartphone Samsung has on the market. It runs the Tizen OS, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by simply looking at it. Many of its interface elements, including certain actions and gestures, mirror the version of TouchWiz loaded onto the Galaxy S5. It even comes loaded with the same suite of Samsung-branded apps.

                               

Quick Settings and Notifications shade are modeled after Samsung’s versions of Android. They’re just as customizable, too, though they appear to be a bit more static. I didn’t get any notifications while I was using the display phone, so I was unable to test if they were adaptive or interactive like those in Android (and soon, iOS 8).

 Samsung will sell the Z in Russia, and then evaluate its performance before it brings it to other markets. The Tizen Store will also run a special promotional program to entice developers to make apps for its new ecosystem. If this catches on, it could spell the beginning of the end of Samsung piggybacking on Android.

How To Turn You'r Old PC Hardware into Home Server With FreeNAS

How To Turn You'r Old PC Hardware into Home Server With FreeNAS

Hi Friends! FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD, itself born of BSD, a version of Unix developed at the University of California, Berkeley. FreeBSD is a full-fledged server operating system, but FreeNAS has been optimized strictly for file serving and storage. It supports SMB/CIFS (Windows file shares), NFS (Unix file shares) and AFP (Apple File Shares), plus FTP and iSCSI. FreeNAS also works with an array of plug-ins for things like automated network backups, BitTorrent downloading, a Plex Media Server, MiniDLNA and much more. The FreeNAS website has an extensive FAQ and community section  that's definitely worth checking out.

                                     

TOOLS TO BUILD A FreeNAS SERVER:

FreeNAS is compatible with all supported FreeBSD hardware virtually every x86 platform  and it supports an extensive array of chipsets and network controllers.Ideally, FreeNAS should be installed on a small SSD or even a flash drive (though standard hard drives also work fine in a pinch), and the system should feature one or more reliable hard drives for bulk storage. To emphasize reliable: framed this article around using spare hardware, but you shouldn't use abused or utterly ancient drives for mission-critical storage. When using the UFS FreeNAS doesn’t require much memory or processing power. Just about any system with 2GB or more of RAM should do.

The more advanced ZFS (Zettabyte File System) is highly reliable and offers an array of features to preserve and protect data, but it also has much more overhead. FreeNAS recommends at least 8GB of RAM for optional performance with ZFS. 

                      

set up FreeNAS you’ll need to download the installation ISO file from the FreeNAS website. If you have an optical drive, burn that ISO to a disc and then boot from it the way you would any other bootable CD.Installing the OS to a flash drive is handier, and it frees your actual hard drives to store your files. It's a bit more complicated to set up on flash: Though it requires only minimal storage space (we ran it on 4GB and 8GB flash drives), it can't share the drive with other data. 

            

Flash drive installations, you’ll also need a file compression/decompression utility (or file archiver), like WinRAR or 7-Zip, that can open ISO files, plus a disk image writing utility I’d suggest Win32Disk Imager.Once you’ve downloaded the ISO, mount it in Windows by right-clicking its file icon and selecting Mount, or open it in your file archiver and extract the file named FreeNAS x64.img.xz. You'll wind up with an image file named FreeNAS_x64.img, which you’ll need to write to the flash drive to install the OS and make the drive bootable.

          

           

After booting to the flash drive, you’ll ultimately see a simple text menu with 11 options. By default, FreeNAS will be configured to use DHCP. Assuming that's how your network is set up, it should acquire an IP address and list it right at the bottom of the menu. That’s how you’ll access FreeNAS’s browser-based interface. Command-line jockeys can configure many options right from the text menu, but it’s definitely easier and more intuitive to log into the web.

             

first time you hit the FreeNAS IP address, you’ll be prompted to set an administrator password. Note, however, that the default user name is not "admin" or "administrator," but "root," which is the Unix system's rough equivalent of a Windows admin.

You’ll have to follow a few steps to configure your storage volumes and make them accessible to other systems on the network. First, hit the Storage > Volumes > Volume Manager section and select the hard drives you’d like to use with the operating system. Critical note: Any hard drive you select to use with FreeNAS will be utterly wiped.

           

services or protocols of choice, create and name a shared folder, and set folder permissions. It's pretty straightforward, and this article walks you through the process. You can access your FreeNAS server just like any other shared PC on your network (typically via Windows' Network settings).If you’d like to enable advanced FreeNAS capabilities—like hosting an FTP server, or installing some plug-ins the FreeNAS community is a great place to start, as is PCWorld's own guide to advanced FreeNAS configurations.

Upcoming iPhone Apps

Upcoming iPhone Apps

Hi Friends! Here A Latest And Upcoming News For Apple's next mobile operating system means significant changes for how iPhone users send and receive messages.If you're an Apple user, this is a big deal. Messages is the most frequently used app in iOS, and is how most users share texts, photos and videos with each other.With iOS 8, coming this fall, Apple is borrowing features from popular messaging platforms like Snapchat and WhatsApp while unveiling some new tricks of its own.Here's a quick look at the new messaging features announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. We'll find out in a few months whether they catch on with users.

                                   

CHANGES TO AUDIO AND VIDEO MESSAGING APPS:

Text window in the next version of iMessage will contain a little microphone button. Users hold a finger down on the button, record a short audio or video message, and send it with the swipe of a finger -- all without leaving the app.In this way, Apple is taking a page from WhatsApp, which also allows audio and video messages. Facebook bought that startup, which has a huge user base overseas, in February for $19 billion.Audio files will appear in your Messages stream as jagged lines. Simply tap on them to listen to the message. Apple did not say Monday whether there will be a limit on the length of the messages.

Photo and video messages that disappear after a few seconds have been popularized by Snapchat, the mobile messaging app that reportedly spurned multibillion takeover offers from Facebook and Google last year.This ephemeral format has been especially popular with teens and young adults who like to exchange silly or racy messages without fear they'll be haunted by them later.Now Apple is getting into the game. Audio and video messages within iOS 8 will automatically vanish within a few minutes (Apple didn't say how many) unless you adjust your settings.

You don't want to have to clean these up. Audio and video messages can take up space," said Greg Joswiak, head of iOS product marketing. "So they're set to self-destruct unless you choose to keep them.

                                                    

message on an iPhone can be a little cumbersome: You have to punch in your passcode and then hit the Messages icon just to get started.With iOS 8, users can listen and respond to audio messages without leaving the lock screen -- just by holding the phone to their ear. The phone detects when it's next to your face, plays the message and lets you record a brief response. Lower the phone, and the message is sent automatically.It's super easy," said Joswiak. "You can send a message ... just by raising it (the phone) to your ear."

This feature seems convenient but potentially glitchy if users send accidental messages just by speaking near their phone. There was no word from Apple on how to avoid this potential problem.

Top 5 Apps To Better then iMessage in iOS 8

Top 5 Apps To Better then iMessage in iOS 8

Hi guys! here a we are all using many more Application's of Android and iPhone.  Apple added some meaningful features to iOS 8, and in particular, iMessage. The ability to share locations, edit group threads, send voice notes and photos, or even mute a conversation are all welcome additions. But let's be honest: most of these features already exist in third-party messaging clients. I can't fault Apple for adding the features, as it only benefits its ecosystem and dedicated iOS users. With that in mind, here's five apps you can get right now with features you'll find in iOS 8's iMessage app.

                                             

APPS AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN iMESSAGE iN IOS 8:

BBM:

                                               
                                               

BBM to someone is laughter. But if you've actually tried BBM on iOS or Android recently, you'd see it's no laughing matter. BBM is a competent messaging app, full of features that round it out as one the best for cross-platform messaging.BBM offers location sharing, voice calls (over a data connection), voice notes, photo- and video-sharing, and Dropbox file sharing. You can even allow people to monitor your location using the built-in Glance integration.A downside to BBM is that you're able to remain logged into only one device at a time. Meaning if you start a conversation on your iPhone, and want to finish it on your iPad, you'll have to log into BBM on your iPad (logging you out of BBM on your iPhone). You'll then have to figure out where you left off in the conversation due to conversation history not being synced.

WHATSAPP:

                                                    

WhatsApp you'll find standard messaging features such as group threads, location sharing, photo- and video-sharing, and voice notes. You can place calls from within the app, however the calls aren't routed over the Internet, using your wireless minutes instead.As with BBM, WhatsApp also lacks the ability for multidevice conversation syncing.

FACEBOOK MESSANGER: 

                                                     

 Facebook has promised to keep Messenger and its recent acquisition separate. As such, one could argue Facebook Messenger is actually a better messaging solution than WhatsApp.Not only does it offer feature parity with WhatsApp, but it also allows for voice calls over data, and it syncs your conversation history across multiple devices, in real time. You can access the service through any Web browser or through native apps on platforms such as Android and iOS.

GOOGLE HANGOUT"S:

                                                 

Google's Hangouts service allows for messaging, voice calls (over data), video calls, stickers, GIFs, and location sharing.In addition to iOS and Android apps, Google also offers Hangouts through any Web browser by accessing your Gmail or Google+ account. Like with Facebook Messenger, your conversation text is kept in sync across multiple devices.

VIBER:

                                                   

Viber is similar to WhatsApp, in that it's a stand-alone service. One feature it offers you won't find from WhatsApp or BBM is a desktop app. By using a mobile app, and connecting the desktop app to your Viber account, you're message history is synced. You can seamlessly switch between your mobile device and your computer, and the recipient won't have any idea you've done so.

Google Chrome 64-bit Speed Boost On Windows

Google Chrome 64-bit Speed Boost On Windows

Hi Friends! Google has released test versions of its Chrome browser for PCs with 64-bit chips, a move that will improve performance, security, and stability.The mainstream stable version of Chrome and its beta precursor haven't yet made the change, but Google offers a 64-bit installer for the very rough Canary and more polished Dev versions of the browser."The majority of our users on Windows 7 or higher now have systems capable of running 64-bit applications, and this version of Chrome can take full advantage of these newer capabilities," said Chrome programmer Will Harris in a blog post Tuesday.Even as consumers embrace mobile apps, browsers remain crucial to how people use their computers. But it's tough to keep up in the browser world today.Developers must constantly update their software with new Web technologies, protect browsers from constant attack over the network, and adapt their software to smartphones and tablets with less computing resources than a PC. Dealing with the ARM chips that power mobile devices is a relatively new phenomenon, but the move to 64-bit chips began well before that.

                                              

                                                                          

AMD and Intel began the long transition to 64-bit computing a decade ago with the introduction of their 64-bit chips. Compared to the 32-bit chips they've now largely replaced, 64-bit chips offer access to vastly more memory than the 4GB limit imposed on computers with 32-bit chips. That's not the primary constraint for browsers, at least today, though. So what's useful about making .    One complication in the past for the 64-bit transition is incompatibilities with browser plugins such as Oracle's Java and Adobe Systems' Flash Player. However, this is minimized because Google is dumping support for most plugins as it retires the interface, NPAPI, that they use. Chrome extensions, which are built with a browser's native interface instead, make the transition more gracefully, including those written with Google's Native Client software, the company said.

                                      

All existing extensions and Native Client content should work without issue," spokeswoman Veronica Navarrete said. "64-bit NPAPI plugins like Oracle Java and Microsoft Silverlight work as well. However, 32-bit NPAPI plugins are not supported, and we will not be adding support because we plan on removing NPAPI entirely at the end of this year."

A 64-bit version of Chrome for Mac is under development. Mozilla's Firefox is still 32-bit on Windowsbut 64-bit on Linux and OS X; Microsoft's Internet Explorer arrived in a 64-bit option with version 10; andApple's Safari went 64-bit in 2009. Google started its 64-bit Chrome with its Linux version in 2009.

64-bit Firefox for Windows is under way, said Mozilla Engineering Director Vladimir Vukicevic: "For 64-bit Firefox on Windows, we are in the process of setting up our automated testing for this platform to make sure that it gets the same daily testing coverage as all of our other platforms do. Windows 64-bit builds of Firefox are already available in our 'Nightly' early tester channel, and we have many testers already using these builds without problems. Once we have continuous testing set up, we should have more news to share about timing for a full 64-bit Firefox release on Windows.
