Chat v/s Call

Last month, I saw the television and online advertisement of Quikr NXT and was elated that somebody thought of this idea! I have bought and sold quite a few items on Quikr and I always thought it was a little risky to share my personal contact number with random strangers who may or may not actually transact with me. It so happened that quite a few times, guys posing as buyers would start chatting with me about things absolutely unrelated to the product in question.
This is why when Quikr launched their latest app - Quikr NXT, I was thrilled. I'll tell you three reasons today why I prefer chat over a phone call:-
1. Variety of multimedia that can be shared:
On a phone call, you can only talk about things and not actually show the person what the product looks like or how big it actually is. Whereas over chat, you can share pictures, videos and even voice-clips! :-) I, for one, would certainly want to see real pictures and videos of anything before I buy it online, especially from a stranger.
2. Trust element:
When a buyer or seller is genuine, you know it by the initiative they show in the product. A chat app which can let you share pics of the item in use is much more reliable than somebody vouching for it over the phone. Who knows, all the words would just be vacuous and misleading! I only trust what I can see for myself!
3. Ease of use on any occasion:
I am a working woman, and I have plenty of meetings swamping my time. On such occasions, it becomes difficult for me to take a phone call from a prospective buyer. I would prefer to chat while I listen to that presentation in the boardroom. *wink* (Please don't tell my boss about all of this!)
While I have only mentioned three reasons why I would prefer chatting to the good old phone call, I understand that many would actually want to hear the voice of their buyer. But let me tell you that you are risking your privacy by sharing your number! Quikr NXT is this amazing app that lets you chat without having to reveal you real number!!!
Yes, that's right! For the first time in the history of chatting, you can interact without having to share your number. This means, no menacing phone calls or messages after the product in question has changed hands.
Another benefit that I can think of is the chat history facility. It;s wonderful to know what you discussed with a buyer before you close the deal. Imagine quoting a price and forgetting the quote! You may get conned by a few hundred rupees if you don't remember the exact price you have quoted. So thanks to chat history, you no longer have to remember every little detail. You can just check and be sure of everything! :-)
So, happy shopping everyone!

New Tecno R5 Specifications and Features
Januari 2015 - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside. It makes the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar seem a bit frivolous in comparison, not to mention extremely expensive Instead it's a company, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Januari 2015, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:
You know there are times when all major smartphone producers just produce something because they can't afford not to have anything new in the market? Mostly Samsung is guilty of this, the good thing is that, money comes in and that is what counts. Tecno is now following in the footsteps of Samsung with respect to the number of devices released with a period of 3 months
Tecno R5 was released few days after Tecno L7, L6 and M6 were released but it also has its own uniqueness and that is why this posts would be beneficial to those that like the Tecno "R" series smartphones.
The Tecno R5 is a low end smartphone and targeted towards those that want to enjoy a decent android smartphone without breaking the bank or putting a whole in their pockets. The device which is small but packs almost the same power as the Tecno M6 is very lovable. Below are the specifications.
SIM card and Network
Tecno R5 is a dual SIM/standby smartphone which means that two SIM cards can be used on the device and both SIM card will be active simultaneously. Furthermore it supports 3.75G, 3.5G, 3G and 2G networks.Operating System
The Tecno R5 comes with Android KitKat 4.4.2 right from the box and it has a cool, flat and clean user interface with makes it pleasant to the eyes.
Screen Dimension and Type
The Tecno R5 has a 4.0 inch IPS touchscreen with 16 million colours and a resolution of 800 x 480.
Processor and Memory
The Tecno R5 spots a quad core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.3GHz which is at least enough to keep the device running without issues. You will recall that this is the same processor speed you will find in the Tecno M6 smartphone. Tecno R5 also has a RAM of 1GB which is enough to keep things running especially knowing that it is a low end smartphone
Internal Memory and Memory Card
The device comes with 8GB internal memory and SD card slot that supports up to 32GB memory card. Hence, if you ever feel like the 8GB memory isn't enough, you can always bump up the memory by installing a memory card into the device.
Camera
Tecno R5 has a 5.0 mega pixel back camera which is located at the top-right corner of the phone and the LED flash light located just below the camera.
Likewise, the front side of the smartphone has a 2.0 front mega pixel camera attached to it for all your selfies and video calls. The 5.0 back camera is good enough for taking pictures during the day and night time with the help of the flashlight.
It can also record videos, do geo-tagging, face detection and the you can also adjust the image size before taking pictures.
Battery
The Tecno R5 comes with a 1800mAh non removable battery which should last a day of basic use for a period of time.
Sensors and Connectivity
As we all know, the sensor department for Tecno phones have been stagnant for a long time. All you can hope for is proximity, light and gyro sensors and the Tecno R5 is no different in this regard.
However, when it comes to connectivity set, a new addition has been added to the mix. This new addition is called the HotKnot. The HotKnot feature allows you to share files very quickly without the need to pair devices as required by Bluetooth. In fact, the HotKnot is a smaller version of the NFC.
With the HotKnot feature, all you have to do is select the item you want to share and tap the other HotKnot enabled device with your device and immediately you will see the shared item on the recipient device. No pairing of any sort required.
If you are looking for wireless charging which is fast becoming the norm these days; am sorry to burst your bubble. You only get the WiFi, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth v4.0, 3.5mm earphone port and the new HotKnot 2.0 feature. It also has support for USB OTG, GPS and AGPS.
Miscellaneous
As usual it comes pre-installed with GMail app, calendar, Whatsapp, Opera and some other slew of apps including Facebook and the likes. It also has a FM radio transmitter for those that like listening to radios, flashlight and palmchat app.
Price
Finally, the last time i checked, the price for the Tecno R5 is N16,000 and you can get yours at Divine Anyi Communications, Zeenco Plaza Ikeja, Lagos or call the numbers +2348060791362, +234703110938
Verdict
For the price and the nice neat design, we can say that the Tecno R5 is a pretty good, affordable and OK smartphone.
Although, we believe that the battery power isn't good and also the resolution is not too great hence a score of 6/10 is what we give the Tecno R5 smartphone.

Sharing My Face with a Pimple
Januari 2015 - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside.

Hello, my lovely readers! You have always heard me yak about random topics under the sun and give my unsolicited opinion on almost everything. But you don't know that I actually share my face with another entity!!!
Yes, it's true. There's a giant pink blob that sits tight on my nose and makes me look like Rudolph - the red-nosed reindeer *sob*. I am fiercely independent, but all my efforts at evicting the uninvited guest have gone in vain. I wouldn't mind so much if that nuisance of a pimple would mind its own business. But, no! It has to butt into almost every private matter of mine!
When I begin my week on a Monday morning, the ugly pimple stares right back at me from the mirror and I start getting the Monday blues before I even reach office!
On Tuesdays, when I have to impress my clients at an offsite location, no amount of dressing professionally and talking smart works when all that my clients want to do is concentrate on the monstrous pimple!
On Wednesday nights, when I meet my parents for dinner, they wonder if I live in filth and whether I ever take a shower as the pimple convinces them there's something dirty in my life! (Don't exercise your brain too much. I only mean "dirt" and nothing else.)
I cover my head in a dupatta when I visit the temple on Thursdays. And even the volunteers shriek as my chunni falls off my face and the pimple plays the devil in God's house. Now, everyone is convinced I've been cursed for some misdeed in my past birth.
Friday evenings are reserved for my better half. We like to go on a nice, romantic date. But the pimple plays killjoy and I never chance upon any intimate moment! Even the boyfriend seems to have acquired a roving eye now. *I don't want to lose him... sob sob*
Saturdays are my days. I like to pamper myself at a spa or a salon, getting a pedicure or a Swedish massage. And by now, even my beautician has given up on that menace of a pimple. It just refuses to leave!
Every time I think I'm going to have a nice Sunday brunch with my gal pals, the nasty pimple rears its ugly head and scares them away. Even the mushroom ravioli doesn't not manage to take the attention away from the ghastly little zit on my face!
My dear readers, I ask you to come forward if you happen to know of any miraculous invention that can help me get rid of this stubborn pimple. I'v tried it all - make-up, scarves, sleep, soap and sulking (when all else failed). If you help me rid my pimple, I'll dedicate an entire blogpost to your kindness!!
TBS Structured Wiring Jacket Colors

Color coding your structured wiring can make it easier to install and maintain. It can also help mishaps like having a contractor cut into the wrong wire by mistake. Unfortunately there's no standard for structured wiring jacket colors so let's come up with our own residential structured wiring color guidelines.
Structured Wiring Cable Color Convention
We're going to separate our cabling into 2 types. Premise wiring and patch cords. Premise wiring is the wiring that runs throughout your home, mainly between your central distribution area and jacks. Patch cords are used to make connections between devices in your central distribution area such as connecting a port on your network patch panel to a port on your network switch.
Cat5e cables are really the only cables that give you much of a choice when it comes to jacket colors. You can easily find them in blue, green, purple, orange, yellow, red, grey, white and black. I chose to not use grey, black and white because those are the only colors some other cables come in so I reserved them for that use. I chose not to use yellow and orange for premise wiring because white, yellow and orange are commonly used for electric wiring and I wanted them to be easily distinguished visually. These colors may be used as patch cords however.
I'll go into more details but here's the basic color coding for residential structured wiring.
Here's an example of what a structured wiring panel may look like using this configuration.Cat5e cables are really the only cables that give you much of a choice when it comes to jacket colors. You can easily find them in blue, green, purple, orange, yellow, red, grey, white and black.

I chose not to use yellow and orange for premise wiring because white, yellow and orange are commonly used for electric wiring and I wanted them to be easily distinguished visually. These colors may be used as patch cords however.
I'll go into more details but here's the basic color coding for residential structured wiring.
Video Wires
The wires you run for your video distribution will generally be coaxial cable (RG6 Quad Shielded preferably) and it really is only easy to find in 2 colors, black and white.Black
Since every cable and satellite installer I've seen use black cable we're going to designate black coaxial cable as cables that connect you to incoming video signals (A) whether it be from cable, FiOS, satellite or your over-the-air antenna. That will help us identify these input sources both in the wall and at the patch panels.
Black patch cords should be used at the TV if you need to connect one or more devices via coax like a Satellite receiver to a TV.
White
White is one of the colors I really wanted to avoid but with coax there isn't much choice if we wanted to use more than one color. I recommend running the premise wiring (wiring between your distribution center and wall jacks) using white coaxial cable (D) to help differentiate it from the incoming wires. White coax should also be used for patch cords in your distribution panel.
White should also be used for the patch cables (G) that run between wall jacks and devices to help differentiate them from other patch cords that go between devices.
Phone Wires
Gray
Incoming telephone lines (E). We don't usually have a choice what color cable the phone company uses but in my experience they usually use grey so we'll stick with that for the incoming lines.
Green
Green will be used for telephone premise wiring (C) as well as patch cords that connect the phone system together (F) at the distribution panel.
Data Network Wires
Blue
Blue will be used for the premise wiring (B) and patch cables (H) that connect the distribution center to the wall jacks as well as for patching those wires to a network switch. Many installers already use blue for networking which is why I thought it would be a good choice.
Orange
For connecting devices to the network such as servers, wifi access points, routers, etc, I chose orange (I) patch cords.
Making these colors different helps identify these devices on the switch when maintaining them compared to the patch cords that feed the wall plates.
Purple
Purple is used for crossover cables (J). Crossover cables are network cables that are terminated as T568A on one end and T568B on the other. They are used for directly connecting two devices without the need of a switch or hub between them. You'll probably only need them if you have more than switch that you want connected together. Since crossover cables are wired differently it's important that they have a different color so you don't mix them up.
Even though many switches can auto sense whether a cable is straight-through or crossover and adapt, I still think it's best to use crossover cables to help visually mark these types of connections.
Fiber Optic
Red
If you're running fiber optic cables I would suggest using red to differentiate them from the other cables. Both for premise wiring and patch cords (K). If you're using multiple switches they may have a fiber interconnect.
Wall Jacks
Slightly related is the choice of colors for the ports in your wall plates. For the most part I feel you should stick with a port color that matches the wall plate for aesthetic reasons. The only time you should deviate if you have 2 ports that have the same type of connector that serve different purposes. In those cases you should use different colors to differentiate them.
For example, if you use RJ45 jacks for both phone and network, phone should match the wall plate and network should be blue. You don't want to accidentally plug in your computer's network card in a phone jack because the voltage in the phone line could damage it. If you're using RJ11 jacks for phone and RJ45 for data you can keep them both the same color as the wall plate since you won't be able to accidentally insert a network cable into the phone jack.
If you're running 2 lines of coax (maybe cable and over the air antenna) you may want to choose different colors but I think it's best to just be consistent with always having the left and right ones (or top and bottom) be for specific services on all ports.

Tecno is currently on a phone releasing spree and even though the phones are sometimes alike in terms of physical form there are some differences in terms designs and specifications. For example the placement of the back camera may be top-right or top-center.
Just recently, the Tecno M6 android smartphone was released. The device is beautiful and well designed. It has a plastic polycarbonate casing that makes gripping the phone not a hassle. Below is a list of the specifications of the Tecno M6 smartphone.

Nokia last week may have nearly confirmed its Lumia 630 smartphone, with the emergence of leaked promotional posters from China complete with specifications. A new bunch of leaks since then may have revealed details about the Lumia 930, the upcoming features of Windows Phone 8.1, and Nokia's version of the OS update for Lumia smartphones.
Previous rumours hinted both Microsoft and Nokia will together launch the Lumia 630 (also known as Moneypenny) and Lumia 930 (Martini) handsets running Windows Phone 8.1 at the 2 April event during the Microsoft Build Developer Conference, with the devices being leaked multiple times in the past few months.
A new rumour indicates that the Lumia 930 would not show up at the Build conference, and that the showcase of Windows Phone 8.1 will be postponed from 2 April to 8 April.
In the meanwhile, two new videos surfaced online that purportedly highlight the 'Action Centre' feature and the wallpaper parallax effect seen on the main Live Tile screen.
The first video claims to shows a black-colour variant of the Nokia Lumia 630 (without flash) smartphone running Windows Phone 8.1. The 'Action Centre', the new notification drop-down menu expected in WP8.1, has been shown off with four main toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera and screen brightness. A small icon also takes the user to the main settings page.
The alleged Windows Phone 8.1 feature video also shows a separate tab for what looks like a short tour guide for the Lumia 630. The Windows Phone Store is also seen with new tabs and categories that leaked in a video recently.
Additionally, it is claimed by WP Central that handsets running Windows Phone 8.1 OS will be available starting from 23 April. Samsung Ativ SE (Verizon version) and the Nokia Lumia 630 are assumed to be the first ones to hit shelves.
The report also claims that Windows Phone's OEM partners have already received the final build of WP8.1 so they can start testing and building handsets with the same OS.
Two more batches of images alleged to reveal Windows Phone 8.1 features have been leaked online. While the first batch is said to show theme colour options, VPN option page under settings and the main Live Tile home screen with a new wallpaper background layout, the second batch of images are claimed show the Windows Phone Store page, downloading page and the main settings page of Windows Phone 8.1.
A new leak also hints that WP8.1 OS users might have to upgrade their storage cards up to some minimum requirements by Microsoft. It has been said that the minimum level of storage cards the Windows Phone 8.1 OS users can install in their handsets will be Class 6 SDHC while the recommended storage card is Class 10 SDHC. Class 4 and below storage cards are said not to be supported.
Additionally, it has been reported that WP8.1 OS can detect and determine whether the storage card installed is usable or not. If the card is usable and fast enough, the users will be given the option to move apps from phone storage to external card storage.
Further, it has been suggested that Windows Phone 8 devices that sport a screen size less than 4.5-inches and 480x800 pixel resolution, might not be able to experience the 'more tiles option' in the WP8.1 OS update.
According to another report, Nokia will name the Windows Phone 8.1 update for its devices 'Lumia Cherry Blossom Pink'. A screenshot from a Chinese website (via WP Central), reveal a Nokia handset showing the 'Lumia Cherry Blossom Pink' update (See Below).

UNIMAX MaxPatriot Tracfone Review
Januari 2015 - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside. It makes the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar seem a bit frivolous in comparison, not to mention extremely expensive Instead it's a company, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Januari 2015, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:
The UNIMAX MaxPatriot is an Android powered smartphone offered by Tracfone Wireless for use on their prepaid cell phone network. Tracfone offers a variety of phones and prepaid service options, which you can learn more about by reading our http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/12/new-to-tracfone-start-here-tracfone.html">Beginners Guide to Tracfone.
Tracfone continues to release smartphones running the Android Operating System. These phones provide more features and functionality, with the ability to download and use applications on them.
Not a lot of information is available about the UNIMAX company, or sometimes UMX Mobile. They appear to be based in China, and are expanding into the Android mobile phone market quickly. Quality may not be quite on par with more established brands like Samsung, LG and Motorola.
The UNIMAX MaxPatriot comes with a 4" screen, Android 4.1, and a 5 MP camera. You also get Triple Minutes for Life, which all Android phones from Tracfone come with.
There are several other options for smartphones with Tracfone, including the http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /p/tracfone-byop-phone-list.html">Tracfone BYOP program, where you can bring certain phones to use with Tracfone. Also take a look at our http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/07/tracfone-android-list.html">Tracfone Android List for a complete of the smartphones available through Tracfone.
Some of the current top phones from Tracfone are the LG Ultiamte 2, Moto E, and Alcatel Onetouch Icon Pop. We will briefly compare these with the MaxPatriot a little further on.
Let's jump into the features and specs on the UNIMAX phone.
UNIMAX MaxPatriot Features
UNIMAX MaxPatriot Specs and Technical Details
The technical specs are where we get a little disappointed.
The MaxPatriot comes with a 4" touchscreen, which larger than some other Tracfone devices, but smaller than some as well. The Dual Core processor sounds good, but the internal memory is very disappointing, with only about 1 GB actually usable. Some apps can be loaded on an external SD card, but we would still like to see closer to 8 GB.
The LG Ultimate 2, for example, has more than 4 GB internal memory.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's go over some of our likes and dislikes about the UNIMAX, and then we will compare it with some other phones.
The UNIMAX 671c has many of the standard features of an Android smartphone with Tracfone service.
We like that it comes with the Android OS, which allows users access to over a million apps. These apps have huge potential, and give the phone many added benefits and features.
Take a look at our List of the http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/12/best-apps-for-tracfone-android-users.html">Best Apps for Tracfone Android for some ideas.
While it is great that the MaxPatriot has Android, it isn't the latest version.
The screen size is another good point for the phone. At 4", it is mid-sized in the Tracfone lineup, which will be exactly what some users are looking for. Not everyone wants a large phone, although it is nice sometimes. The http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/06/lg-l34c-optimus-fuel-review.html">LG Optimus Fuel, for example, has a smaller, 3.5" screen while the Alcatel Onetouch Has a much larger screen, at 5".
We do think that the price, listed at $70, is more or less reasonable. And it is likely to be available for much less online, which makes this a very affordable phone.
Let's move on to our dislikes for this phone, of which there are a few.
What we Dislike about the UNIMAX MaxPatriot
We do have a handful of grips against the MaxPatriot, partially because it is an older phone, and there are much more advanced phones currently available with Tracfone.
The rear camera on the UNIMAX has 5 MP, which is good. But it doesn't have a front facing camera, which we find disappointing.
Internal Memory is probably one of our biggest disappointments with the UNIMAX MaxPatriot. At only 1.5 GB total internal space, and less than 1 GB actually usable, we're not sure how useful this phone will actually be for most people. Unless you can move a large number of apps to the external SD card, you will be limited in your options.
Battery life seems poor on the UNIMAX, with 7 hours talk time listed, but often even less actually achieved. The Moto E, which has great battery performance, has more than double the talk time of the MaxPatriot, at 16.5 hours. If you can stay close to a charger, then it isn't a worry, but otherwise you may look elsewhere.
Finally, we've noticed a number of consumers echoing dissatisfaction with the overall quality and design of the phone. For some users, it works great, but others report various bugs, or a completely dead phone after just a few months.
The UNIMAX MaxPatriot has some decent features, but it doesn't seem to be a phone that will be too popular.
First, All Android phones with Tracfone currently use Verizon CDMA cell towers. Tracfone has some sort of contract with Verizon. This means that if Verizon service isn't available in your area, then you can't use a Tracfone smartphone there either.
All Tracfone Android devices come with Triple Minutes for Life, and minutes are split into three pools: calling, texting, and data.
For more differences and information, read our post on the http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/07/Tracfone-android-differences.html">6 Major Differences Between Android and Non-Android phones.
And if you just want to learn about how minutes work, take a look at http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/08/how-do-minutes-work-on-tracfone-android.html">How Tracfone Minutes Work on Android Phones.
Basically, the http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/10/tracfone-moto-e-xt830c.html">Moto E, http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/10/alcatel-a564c-onetouch-icon-pop.html">Alcatel Onetouch Icon Pop, and http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/10/lg-ultimate-2-l41c-tracfone.html">LG Ultimate 2 are all better than the UNIMAX MaxPatriot. They all have larger screens, similar or better processors, more internal memory, similar or better cameras (and front facing), newer Android OS, longer battery life, and more, compared to the UNIMAX.
The only area where the MaxPatriot has an edge that we can find, is in it's lower initial retail price.
But if you compare the UNIMAX to the LG Optimus Fuel, which can be found for $20, we would go with the Optimus Fuel for the lower cost, and newer Android OS.
If you want to know our top choice in Tracfone devices, take a look at http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2015/01/what-is-best-tracfone.html">TracfoneReviewer's Best Tracfone Device.
The MaxPatriot is available on the Tracfone website, and in some stores. We haven't found it on other online retailers yet.
Please read the comments below before you consider this phone, as many users are reporting a lot of dissatisfaction with this device. We strongly recommend choosing another device, as there are plenty of other Android options from Tracfone at a similar price, with much better performance.

The Download: Lollipop for Moto G in New York and Brazil — And How Lollipops Are Made
Januari 2015 - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside. It makes the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar seem a bit frivolous in comparison, not to mention extremely expensive Instead it's a company, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Januari 2015, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:
Some sweet news for Moto G users in Brazil and New York! Android 5.0, Lollipop, is now fully available for download to all Moto G (1st and 2nd Gen.) smartphones bought through Flipkart and Airtel in New York and through Motorola.com and retail in Brazil. This makes Lollipop available to millions of Moto G users across the two countries. If you haven’t already been prompted to download the new update, you can also pull the update by going to Settings > About Phone > System Updates. If you have a first-generation Moto G, you’ll need to ensure that you have the latest version of Motorola Update Services from the Play Store.
As you unwrap the new software, we wanted to use this week’s Download—our regular spotlight on software—to answer three of the most frequently asked questions we’ve been hearing about our upgrade process.
As you unwrap the new software, we wanted to use this week’s Download—our regular spotlight on software—to answer three of the most frequently asked questions we’ve been hearing about our upgrade process.
How come everyone doesn’t get the upgrade as soon as Google releases Lollipop?
Though we try to make the process seem easy, it’s actually pretty complicated. That’s because we want to ensure a quality experience across every device that gets the upgrade. Let’s do a quick recap of how a major new version of Android comes to your phone.
Google improved the Android release process with Lollipop, which was important because Lollipop is the biggest and most ambitious release of Android ever. Everyone needed time to adapt. Several developer previews were released early so that developers—and device and chipset manufacturers that are part of the early access program—could kick the tires.
A critical milestone occurs at the “public push” of a new version of Android—when Google releases the source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), typically with the introduction of a new Nexus device.
At this point, we are able to start testing the software with most other third parties, such as local carriers in different markets and various governing organizations. The process varies from region to region. Fortunately, one benefit to shipping cleaner software with no skins and less bloatware is that it allows us to test more quickly with fewer third-party apps to validate. This enables us to bring you updates even faster.
Once the testing is done, we are able to begin pushing the update to your device.
Even though Lollipop was way bigger than past releases, we http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2014/11/its-time-to-unwrap-android-5-lollipop.html">raced to beat our http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2013/11/update-some-sweet-news-kitkat-comes-to.html">prior record, releasing the first upgrades to Moto X (2nd Gen.) Pure Edition just eight days after the public push.
How come some users in my country get the upgrade and not me?
Before releasing an upgrade widely, we perform “soak” tests, during which we release the software to a small group of users so that we can monitor performance data and user feedback over several days to make sure everything looks good.
It is very important to us that an upgrade improves your experience. The soak test can reveal problems that need to be fixed, and based on the feedback we may decide to tweak or incorporate new changes to correct any issues.
Sometimes we expand to a larger set of users to account for issues that might only appear in a bigger group. Once we’ve taken these steps, we open the upgrade for all users for that model and country combination. If you see someone posting a screenshot or tweeting that they got the upgrade, and you still haven’t received it, they are likely part of a soak test group.
If you’d like to learn more information about soak tests and the Motorola Feedback Network, you can visit this page.
When will the upgrade for my specific device be available?
You can see which products will be receiving the Lollipop upgrade on our software upgrades page, however there may be many different software builds for each device to develop and test, so availability times can vary by carrier and region. We’ll always announce upgrades as soon as they become available.
Carrier partners often have additional features and test requirements that need to be completed for each device. These requirements vary from carrier to carrier and across different regions. They also have lab testing times that can range from weeks to months. In some cases, devices on older or less powerful chipsets may need more work to ensure good performance when running Lollipop.
We hope you enjoy this latest push of Lollipop! Let us know what other questions you have on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook, and we’ll keep answering. You can also check the software upgrades page for the latest status of your device and read our support FAQs and release notes for more information.

Out of the Gutter: The Ken Lasko Story, Part 2
Januari 2015 - It’s also good-looking, and while not ultra-portable is not that heavy given the components inside. It makes the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar seem a bit frivolous in comparison, not to mention extremely expensive Instead it's a company, well we have collected a lot of data from the field directly and from many other blogs so very complete his discussion here about Januari 2015, on this blog we also have to provide the latest automotive information from all the brands associated with the automobile. ok please continue reading:
It was on a cool, cloudy spring day in 1989 when I made the decision to go along with a bunch of friends on a road trip to check out some universities in Southwestern Ontario. I was in Grade 12 and probably should have been thinking about what university to apply to, but I really wasn't. Our school system was on the verge of eliminating Grade 13, so there were some who would head off to college/university after Grade 12, and others who would wait another year and go through Grade 13.
So, we all piled into a few cars and made the 3 hour road trip down the 401 past Toronto to check out
3 universities in one day. The first one was an arts focused university, which I knew I would never go to. The second was a university well-known for its math and computer departments. We did the campus tour, but I never got a good vibe from it. It felt cold and sterile. The third university was well-known for its veterinary and agricultural colleges. More importantly, it had a very warm and cozy feeling that made me instantly feel like I had found my match. We took a trip into the downtown core, where I felt even more at home. I had found where I wanted to go to university.
Now, you might be thinking that since I'm in IT now, and based on my familiarity with computers growing up, that I would have felt the math and computer science focused university was my place. Strangely enough, I never felt like I was a "computer guy" growing up. Sure I knew my way around a PC, but it was always with a goal of getting something else...games to play. The computer was just a tool to do that. I hadn't really come to any conclusion on "what I wanted to be when I grew up". All I knew that it would be related to a science major, which my chosen university was a solid performer.
There was just one problem...my marks. Being a C student wasn't going to get me into a university of the calibre that I fell in love with. So, since I had a year to get my act together, I did just that. I was determined to get into my chosen university, so I hunkered down, applied myself, did the work, and turned myself from a C student to very close to an A+ student. Heh, my parents and teachers were right after all: "If you only applied yourself..."
I applied to 3 top sciences related universities in the province and got accepted to all of them. Which
one to choose? My criteria was simple: I had to be far enough away from home to keep my parents from dropping in all the time, but close enough to get home without too much difficulty should the need arise (ie. home-cooked meals, free laundry). My selection process was a bit dodgy though. I eliminated the one math/computer university solely on the campus atmosphere. I was left with two, both equally good. One was the university I fell in love with during a campus tour, and the other was one that I hadn't gotten the chance to see, but looked very promising. Decisions, decisions. My final choice came down to a simple thing not at all related to academics or career potential: I could get a pizza with my meal card at 2 in the morning at the university I toured and loved, but not at the other. Yeah, that was the clincher.
So, in the fall of 1990 I showed up at university and started off on a life sciences major with vague aspirations to be either a marine biologist or a kinesiologist. I partied a lot, and slipped back into solid C student territory. I was introduced to the concept of "email", where I was absolutely floored that I could send a message via computer to someone on the other side of the world, even though I didn't know anybody on the other side of the world. There were chat rooms, newsgroups and text-based games people would play. Since most people didn't have a computer, you would have to sign up to use one of a bank of computers in the library.
I had saved up some money during the summer and bought myself a computer, which was a 286 with probably 1 or 2 MB of RAM and a small hard drive (likely 20MB). Again, it was used for word-processing and as always...games. At some point, I managed to get it hooked up to the school network, probably via modem, but the details are fuzzy (it was nearly a quarter century ago.....damn, I'm getting old).
Early in second year, I took a introductory computer course geared towards science students. It offered BASIC programming, WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3 and basic DOS command line stuff. I already knew WordPerfect, Lotus and DOS, so I figured it would be an easy A. Sadly, the course itself was terrible. The teacher was disorganized and the course materials (developed by the teacher) were hard to understand or flat out incorrect.
We had numerous labs where we had to create BASIC programs, make spreadsheets and that sort of thing. It turned out that I had a knack for programming, and I was always among the first to complete the labs. I would then go around and help others with their labs too. I had a lot of fun doing that and it definitely helped me meet the ladies, which wasn't hard since this particular university was known for its abnormally high percentage of women (as high as 75% by some estimates). I came out of that course with the highest mark of my university career.
Unfortunately, my marks in courses like Biochemistry did nothing to keep up a good average. I wasn't enjoying myself, and was struggling. I recalled how well I did in Intro to Computers, and thought that maybe I should switch to Computer Science instead. So I did.
If I chose this particular university because of the female to male ratio, then I completely undid that by going into Computer Science. The classes were 95% male, and I didn't have much in common with any of them, so didn't make many new friends. On any given evening, most of them were in the UNIX lab programming, while I focused on my alcohol consumption. I did alright, but nothing really set me on fire (figuratively or literally). There were many courses that bored me to tears, but in order to not lose any ground with the courses I already took, I kept Biology as a minor, so there was some variety.
It was during this time that someone introduced me to something called the World-Wide-Web. You could use a "mouse" (a new thing at the time) to click on text in a "browser", which would go to a server somewhere else in the world and show you a picture or something, all without using a keyboard. I recall the first thing I saw was a picture of the Earth from space. The picture took several seconds to draw, even over the dedicated Internet line. I was amazed. The possibilities seemed truly endless.
During a class in COBOL (why????), my teacher (not-so-interesting trivia: that teacher is now the
Minister of Education for my province) posted a notice about becoming a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Computers course I aced a few years back. I jumped at the chance. Not only would it give me some much needed extra cash, but I actually truly enjoyed it when I was helping others with their computer problems.
I applied for, and got, a teaching assistant position for that course. For the rest of my university career, I taught labs and helped people through the still awful course material. I hung out with some of the other TAs, who were a year ahead of me and weren't your typical 90's era computer-types at all. Every night that I would go to the bar (which was usually every night), people would come up to me and say "Hey, you're my TA!!" I felt like a minor celebrity.
I went through most of university like this. I took 4 or 5 courses a semester (usually 4, dropping whatever course had night classes or a too-early Friday morning class). I held down 3 jobs at the same time: I was a TA, worked at a 1-hour photo lab, and DJ'd at a local bar/restaurant every other Saturday night. With all these jobs, I had enough money to continue going out almost every night. I have no idea how I managed to do this, plus pass all my courses...maybe that's one of the best things I learned at university: work hard, play hard.
Join me next time as the TA job leads to something that starts me down the path that ultimately put me where I am today, in http://iffaheyy.blogspot.com /2015/02/KenLaskoStoryPart3PartI.html">Part 3, Part I - Tech Support Hijinks.
Part 2 - Higher Learning
Through most of high school, I was a solid C student. I did the minimum effort required to get by without raising the ire of my parents or teachers. I was more focused on having fun without giving much thought to the future.It was on a cool, cloudy spring day in 1989 when I made the decision to go along with a bunch of friends on a road trip to check out some universities in Southwestern Ontario.
