5 Things that Apple should Learn from Samsung

As the battle rages for supremacy in the mobile phone market, it seems that companies will stop at nothing to get one step ahead of their competitors.

The recent legal case (one of many), which saw Apple successfully defeat their bitter rivals Samsung over a design patent for mobiles and tablets has only succeeded in turning up the heat between these two giants.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery they say, and it’s hard to deny that Apple have certainly led the way when it comes to smartphones in the early years, but it’s fair to say that Samsung have now raised the bar (as well as the stakes) when it comes to the design and production of handsets.

So is it time that Apple - once market leaders and global innovators of phone technology and design - started to look around them and adopt some of the ideas (completely legally of course) that their competitors are now introducing?

It may be a long shot but here are a few things they may want to look at if they did...

1. Removable Battery

Cynics may suggest that Apple’s idea of a self-contained and sealed battery is a cunning ploy that leads to expensive repair bills or newer and costlier models being purchased (who me?), but they might want to consider the introduction of a removable power source for future handsets. Although not entirely a Samsung invention; the ability to replace a battery or even carry a spare has been a priceless commodity for many phone users – and one that Apple customers would certainly be grateful of. 

2. Bigger Screen

You only have to place an iPhone next to any Samsung model to see how small they now appear. Of course, to some this is great (who wants to carry a phone the size of a postcard in their pocket?), but if nothing else it shows the diverse range of phones Samsung have put out over the years. Since the first iPhone was released in 2007, Apple has only made one major change to the general size of the phone, increasing the display from 3.5 to 4 inches for the iPhone 5. If only for movie watching and game playing Apple may want to consider up-sizing their future phones if they are to stay in the race.

3. More Phones

They say less is more, but in the case of the iPhone; this doesn’t exactly ring true. On average Apple release a new phone once every 12 months, but such are the advances in technology, this can often mean that a smartphone is out of date almost as soon as it’s released. The introduction of the iPhone 5c has gone some way to fill this void, but mixed reviews suggest it is far from being the ideal solution.

MUST CHECK: Apple has infringed a patent from Samsung

4. Adaptability 

A risky tactic in light of Samsung’s recent court defeat but it may be time for Apple to run with the pack for a while. As Oscar Wilde said; Talent borrows but genius steals, and a few “lifted” ideas from its competitors rather than failed attempts at their own unique products (Apple Maps) might be the news that some users would love to hear.

5. Special Features

Samsung’s efforts to load up its flagship phones with so many extra features means even die-hard iOS 7 fans have had their heads turned. Features like the ability to customize settings, apps and audio features give users of the S3 and S4 the feeling that their handset is capable of so much more than other models – even if they never get round to using the technology that is on offer.

So which will you go for? iPhone or Samsung Handset..? Leave your answer in the comment section...

How to block websites on iPhone

You need to give your iPhone to your younger brother and do not want using it because your brother may visit certain websites? Nothing impossible, indeed. Thanks to the latest iOS operating system versions, the iPhone finally has a feature that allows you to restrict Web browsing by setting lists of sites to block.

If you want to find out how to block websites on the iPhone by using it, please follow the instructions you find below and try to put them into practice. I assure you that it is really easy to set up this type of restrictions. In addition, by enabling a special function, you can even restrict browsing to a restricted circle of websites selected by the user (i.e. yourself). Here's everything you need to know.

Before we see in detail how to block websites on the iPhone, you must make sure that your "melafonino" has iOS 7 installed in it. To do this, go to the phone Settings (pressing on the icon on the home screen) and select General > About from the menu that appears.

If the version field are written 7.xx, means your iPhone is already equipped with iOS 7. Otherwise, you must upgrade the Terminal following the directions that are in my guide on how to install iOS 7. It is a very simple procedure which does not involve the loss of any data or any app. However, keep in mind that iOS 7 cannot be installed on earlier iPhone models to iPhone 4.

Having iOS 7 installed on your device, you can block websites on the iPhone by going into Settings> General > Restrictions and pressing Enable Restrictions button. Next, type a four-digit PIN with which to protect the settings of iOS (so that they cannot be modified by unauthorized persons), scroll down and select WebSites.

Then put a check mark next to Limit content for adults (feature to block content unsuitable for children) and press the button Add a website ... . In the screen that opens, type the address of the site you want to block, pressing on Web sites (top left) and you're done.

Trying to open the site just stuck in Safari, this will be unattainable.. Unfortunately the limitation does not apply to any other browser installed on the iPhone (eg. Chrome), so I suggest you go back in the menu to set the restrictions, select applications and remove the check from 17 +. In this way, all 3rd party applications deemed not usable by minors, such as browsers, cannot be opened and the only usable browser is Safari.

iPhone 5S: Problems with all motion sensors!

Some units of the DayOne iPhone 5S showed serious problems with regard to the motion sensors!

Apple has always been known for the quality of the Assembly and the reliability of the hardware used, however the new devices are highlighting serious problems for youth, particularly with regard to the reliability of the iPhone's motion sensors, adopting for the first time the M7 co-processor dedicated to managing those sensors.

Some of them had already talked about some issues regarding the compass and level, but Gizmodo has made ​​a careful analysis in which the results are compared to those smartphone tools for measuring physical activity. The outcome of the tests is negative on two drives that show inaccurate values ​​even up to 6 ° with respect to the reference ones. The problems are due to calibration errors of accelerometer, compass and gyroscope.

Inside of the tests is also used an iPhone 5, that with the same operating system does record values ​​in line with respect to those of the instrumentation. This element would suggest the possibility that the problems in the new iPhone 5S is not to promote software. With regard to the accelerometer, also, this seems to have a delay in the response higher than that recorded by the previous model.

Gizmodo points out that its test methodology is far from definitive, however it seems in line with the results from other American newspapers had. It is not clear to what extent the inaccurate readings from the motion sensors are hardware related, although some users have provided for the warranty replacement iPhone 5S, reporting that the problem has disappeared altogether.

[Guide]:How to recover deleted SMS from iPhone and Android Devices

Recently, we showed you How to recover deleted files from SD card. But over the past few days we got many mails requesting to explain in a simple way to recover deleted Text messages on Android and iPhone.

That's why today I want to explain how to recover deleted Text Messages(SMS) on a variety of operating systems and models of smartphones. To be clear, this is not always possible but trying things is not harmful, so roll up your sleeves, grab your phone and try to retrieve your messages by following the "straight" I'm about to give you.

If you want to discover how to recover deleted SMS and use a smartphone powered by Android, the wisest and most effective thing you can do is to prevent the accidental deletion of text messages making backup copies. To help with this, I suggest you use SMS Backup & Restore, an excellent free app for Android that allows you to create backups and restore SMS extremely easy and fast.

Connect to the page of Google Play Store dedicated to SMS Backup & Restore and click on install button twice to install the application on your mobile. When the operation is complete, start the application via its popup menu icon of Android and skims the Backup button to create a backup copy of all SMS are saved on your phone (you will need to assign a name to the file that you want to create).

After performing the backup, you can restore all your SMS on your smartphone simply by tapping the button Restore, putting the check mark next to the backup file to restore and pressing OK twice in a row. If you do not want to restore all messages, but only those received and sent from a certain day, put a check mark next to Restore only the messages received / sent by specifying the date you want in the menu below.

Even iPhone users can retrieve deleted messages from your mobile phone, just use iTunes backup stored on PC (read how to connect iPhone to iTunes to learn more). In this sense, there are two paths that you can take: the first is to restore the iPhone by selecting one of the backup saved on your computer, the other instead allows you to extract the text of SMS from iTunes without "touching" the iPhone.

If you are interested in this option, you must locate the iTunes file that contains the SMS text stored on your computer. To do this, you must go to one of the following locations:

• If you're running Windows 8, Windows 7 or Vista: C:\Users > [your username] AppData Roaming > > > Apple Computer MobileSync Backup > > > [backup folder from which to extract the SMS].
• If you're running Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings > & [your username] Application Data > > Apple Computer MobileSync Backup > > > [backup folder from which to extract the SMS].
• If you're using a Mac: User > Library Application Support > > MobileSync Backup > > [backup folder from which to extract the SMS].

At this point, looks for a file whose name starts with 3d (e.g. 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28) and copy it to your desktop. Then connected to the iPhone SMS website, click Choose File / Browse and select the backup file you just copied to iTunes on the desktop.

Put the check mark next to the file format in which you want to read text messages (MS Excel, HTML or PDF) and click on the Submit button to download a document with all conversations extracted from your iTunes backup organized by number.

Experts Suggestion: How to Extend battery life of an iphone and ipad

Many iPhone owners charge smartphones every day,transforming the everyday rituals like brushing your teeth and your morning coffee. Others have resorted to using the battery charger only after the battery is completely depleted. But, one way or another, all owners of smartphones and tablets would like to rid themselves of the need to change too often served their batteries with new ones. Recently Experts announced their verdict: If you want your gadgets battery to last as long as possible, do not charge the phone to the maximum.

According to Energysafe (Russian site), too frequent charging of battery can cause small damage to it. However, about once a month you should perform a full discharge/charge cycle.

We recommend that you charge phones battery by not more than 50%. In General, optimal battery charge level is between 40% to 80%. The experts also debunked the myth that new phone to be charged within 72 hours before you use it to "remember" what it feels like to be fully charged. Such advice is valid when working with nickel batteries, but in the case of lithium-ion batteries, which are used in newer phones, it is completely untenable.

Experts also advise not to expose the phone to extremely low/high temperatures. Recommended storage temperature of most batteries is 15 ° C (59 ° F), the maximum safe temperature, usually varies from 40 ° C to 50 ° C. With an average temperature of 25 ° C lithium-ion battery will lose 20% of its maximum capacity every year. At 40 ° C the capacity is an annual fall of 35%.Therefore, it is best to avoid wireless Chargers: inductive Wireless charging devices generate excess heat, which makes the battery of your device "toast".

You can extend the battery life by setting the brightness on the phone screen and turn off the applications that use GPS, such as geo-location services. In regions with poor signal turn on airplane mode, your phone will not spend valuable electricity at finding nearby base stations and establish connections with them. In addition, it is useful to lock your phone when not in use, and use a silent ringtone.
