Biggest problem with the iPad

Posted by Unknown Monday, 9 December 2013 0 comments
via : mirror.co.uk
There’s very little to complain about with the iPad Air. It is the best 10-inch tablet on the market right now, but true perfection is tough to achieve. But there are always a few bugs with a new product. We’ve gathered together the most common iPad Air issues we’ve been hearing about, and provided a rundown of your potential solutions and workarounds. If you have other problems, they may be related to iOS 7. We have a detailed guide to the many issues with Apple’s new OS right here.

Malfunction: The Screen has dark lines or yellow tint on one side

A few iPad Air owners have been complaining about issues with the screens on their new tablets. Reports have mentioned dark vertical or horizontal bars, mostly on the left edge of the display when held in portrait view. There have also been complaints about a noticeable difference in color between the two halves of the screen, with the left hand side having a yellowish tint. This is easiest to see when the display has a white background, on a web page, for example.

Solution:

This seems to be an issue with production, so your only option is to take it back to Apple or your retailer and get a replacement. There is a danger that the replacement will suffer from the same issue, but early production problems are usually ironed out fast.

Glitch: Keyboard and navigation lag


Some people have encountered lag when typing on the keyboard, or when navigating around in and out of apps. The pinch to close gesture seems to be produce a noticeable stutter for some. This is probably an issue with iOS 7 rather than the iPad Air, but there are things you can try. Be aware that you might encounter lag when the iPad Air is in the process of restoring as it downloads apps and data.

Workaround: 

Problems related to the animations can be alleviated or reduced by switching them off via Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion. You may also find that turning Increase Contrast on, also in Settings > General > Accessibility, might help.

Potential solutions:

  • Go to Settings > General > Reset All Settings and see if that helps.
  • If the keyboard is your main problem then try going to Settings > iCloud and turning Documents & Data off.
  • Try restoring your iPad Air and then make sure you reboot by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and slide to power off.




Bug: Safari crashing

A lot of people are having issues with the Safari browser crashing frequently. This seems to be occurring most often when people try to open additional tabs, or have multiple tabs open in Safari. Pressing the tab button is enough to produce a crash in many cases.

Potential solutions:

  • Try going to Settings > Safari and tap Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
  • Try rebooting the iPad by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then slide to power off.
  • If that doesn’t work then go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and set the iPad Air up again and restore your backup.


Problem: Won’t connect to Wi-Fi, slow, or drops connection

This problem always rears its ugly head in our problem roundups. If you find that your iPad Air won’t connect to your Wi-Fi or it drops the connection frequently without explanation, then you can try a few things.
Potential solutions:
  • Reboot your router and your iPad Air. Turn them both and wait 30 seconds and then turn them both on again.
  • Put your iPad Air into Airplane mode then go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Now turn Airplane mode off and set your connection up again.
  • Check your router settings and ensure the firmware is up to date. You’ll have to refer to your router’s manufacturer or ISP for details on this. You might be able to switch bands on your router or tweak other settings that make a difference. Changing from automatic channel bandwidth to a specific setting can sometimes improve the speed.

Annoyance: Battery life

This is another common problem with all modern tablets, but the iPad Air should actually get comparably good battery life. If you find that the battery is draining fast and you’re sure it’s not just because of heavy use then you can try a few different fixes.
Potential solutions:

  • Could it be related to a specific power-hungry app? If you get consistent problems with a specific app then make sure it’s up to date. You should also double click the Home button to flick the offending app up and off to close it when not in use.
  • Try resetting your device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for a few seconds, ignore the slide to power off and wait until you see the Apple logo.
  • If you have cellular support on your iPad and you’re in an area of bad reception or between two towers then the LTE or 3G connection could be the culprit. Try switching connection types and keep it off when you don’t need it.
  • Back up via iCloud and try restoring your iPad Air.
  • If nothing seems to help and you’re getting significantly less than 9 hours on a charge then you could have a hardware problem. Take it back to the retailer or contact Apple and get a replacement.

iPad Air Review

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
I was worried about the new iPad was, where could Apple go? After all, with the iPad 4 it already had a slim, light tablet with a high-resolution screen. All fears that improvements would be few or minor were dissipated the second I picked up the iPad Air.

iPad Air build quality

Ditching the numbering system and going for the Air moniker used by the company's super-light laptops really makes sense here, as the iPad Air is staggeringly light. At just 469g (Wi-Fi version) it's 183g lighter than the 652g iPad 4. That's a staggering 28 per cent lighter, which is even more impressive given the iPad Air has the same size screen. Trust me, you need to get yourself to an Apple store to hold one in the flesh to see how light it really is.
In order to get the weight down, Apple had to make iPad Air smaller and thinner than its predecessor. In simple terms, the Air takes its design cues from the iPad Mini with its thinner bezel and slimmer case. It shouldn't be underestimated how much work this takes, as Apple's managed to make the iPad Air a lot smaller than its predecessor, reducing width from 188mm to 169.5mm (a 10 per cent reduction) and depth rom 9mm to 7.5mm (a 16 per cent reduction), while height remains roughly the same.
As I have come to expect from Apple, the iPad Air is made from a single piece of aluminium, with a glass front. Available in Space Grey, and White to match the colours of the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air is the most attractive tablet out there. More than that it also feels extremely tough and durable thanks to its metal construction.

iPad Air Screen

Although the iPad Air still has the same size 9.7in screen as used in all full-size iPads since the original, the reduction in size of the case means that it looks bigger. That’s no bad thing, as the screen is the most important thing about a tablet.
Apple has kept the same 2,048x1,536 Retina resolution, originally introduced with the iPad 3. There are some tablets with more resolution, but that doesn't matter. On a screen this size, you don't need more resolution; as Apple states with Retina, it's a resolution at which you can no longer see the individual pixels. As a result everything looks incredibly sharp and detailed.

iPad Air Cases

Although there's a huge market for third-party iPad cases, Apple also has its own range. As with previous models, the basic accessory is the Smart cover. This attaches magnetically to the side of the iPad and protects the screen only. When the case is closed across the screen, the iPad goes into standby; opening the case turns it back on again.
The Smart Cover folds back into a triangle shape, which you can use to prop the iPad Air up at an angle so you can type on it more comfortably. Swivel the iPad round and you can stand the iPad at a slight angle, making it easier to watch movies.
Apple also has the new Smart Case. This operates in the same way as the Smart Cover, but also has a rigid back to protect the iPad Air if you carry it around a lot. At £65 it's fairly expensive, but it's made from leather and is extremely well made. More importantly, it doesn't add too much bulk or weight to the iPad Air, so you can still use your tablet comfortably in one hand. If you do a lot of travelling or want to carry your iPad around every day, the iPad Air Smart Case is a great way to protect it. If you're mostly using at home, the lighter, cheaper Smart Cover is probably a better choice.

Specifications

Pros
  • Very light
  • Robust and premium design
  • Excellent screen
  • Solid battery life
  • Consummate all-rounder

Cons

  • Storage comes at a premium
  • No Touch ID

Biggest Problems with iPad Air

Top 10 Gadgets of 2013

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

10. Nokia Lumia 1020

Harry McCracken / TIME

Every modern wireless phone is a cameraphone, but this Lumia is something new: a phonecamera. Its oversized sensor packs 41 megapixels of resolution; you can capture the most detailed phone snapshots you’ve ever seen, and zoom in without reducing your pictures to a blocky mess. (You have to download the high-res versions to a computer via USB cable, but it’s worth the effort.) Even iPhone and Android fans who thought they couldn’t care less about Windows Phones might find themselves smitten with this one.

9. Leap Motion Controller

Leap Motion

This pint-sized USB accessory for Windows PCs and Macs is an $80 preview of where man-machine interfaces may be headed. Plug it in, plop it on a flat surface, and you can perform tasks — from playing games to reading New York Times stories — by waving your hands in the air. It can even detect the angle your palms and how many fingers you’re sticking out. The technology is also being built into laptops, starting with HP’s Envy17 Leap Motion SE.

8. Nest Protect

Nest Labs

Silicon Valley startup Nest Labs specializes in making the most mundane household devices a lot less mundane. In 2012, it introduced a Web-savvy touch-screen thermostat. And its new product is Nest Protect, a $130 smoke and carbon-monoxide detector. Rather than emitting an eardrum-shattering squeal, Protect alerts you to hazards in a calm female voice which says helpful things like “There’s carbon monoxide in the den.” If it mistakes your smokey cooking for a fire, you can set it wise with a wave of your arm.

7. Amazon Kindle Fire HDX

Amazon

Amazon’s third-generation Kindle Fire tablets — a $239 seven-inch model and a $379 8.9-incher — are the first ones which felt truly polished and pleasing from the day they debuted. As always, they make it as simple as possible to consume mass quantities of Amazon content — video, music, books, games and more. And they’ve got one feature that’s a ground-breaking dazzler: Mayday, which lets you get tech support from a real live Amazon rep who appears on screen and can take control of your tablet.

6. Microsoft Xbox One

Microsoft

Officially, Microsoft’s Xbox One is a game console, but its aspirations go far beyond play. With built-in video calls via Skype, integration with cable and satellite TV boxes and an interface derived from Windows 8, it’s really a living-room PC. The most intriguing technology is built into the new Kinect sensor, which understands spoken commands, recognizes faces and can even measure your heart rate. Some aspects of the One are still rough around the edges, but it’s going to be fascinating to see where it goes.

5. Apple iPhone 5s

Apple

iPhones with an “s” at the end of their model numbers are supposedly snoozers, because they focus on refinements to the previous year’s model. But the iPhone 5s introduces two of the best smartphone features which Apple or anyone else has ever come up with. The Touch ID sensor lets unlock your phone with a quick press of your finger or thumb. And the camera sports a unique dual-LED flash which provides subtle, custom lighting for an array of picture-taking scenarios.

4. Pebble Smartwatch

Pebble

Whether smartwatches ever turn into a booming business to rival smartphones or tablets remains anyone’s guess. But Pebble is off to a promising start. The $150 wearable gizmo acts as a satellite for your iPhone or Android handset, receiving snippets such as text-message notifications via Bluetooth and displaying them on its power-efficient E Ink display. Third-party developers can write programs to let it do everything from playing games to tracking your fitness. Did we mention that it tells time?

3. Oculus Rift Development Kit

Virtuix Omni / YouTube

At the moment, Oculus Rift is only available in a $300 kit aimed at game developers. But once you strap on this virtual-reality headset onto your noggin and experience it in action, you’ll get itchy for the consumer release, which is scheduled for 2014. Used with a PC or Android device, Rift will let games create 3D worlds which surround you — you can even look over your shoulder for enemies lurking behind. If the games live up to the hardware’s potential, it could be an epoch-shifting landmark.

2. Apple’s new iPads

Apple

Do you want a powerful iPad or a portable one? How about both? At just one pound and .29-inch thick, the 9.7-inch iPad Air is much svelter than previous full-sized models. And except for the smaller screen, the 7.9-inch iPad Mini with Retina has almost exactly the same potent components as its big brother, as well as the same ten-hour battery life. Both benefit hugely from the App Store’s 475,000 iPad-optimized apps. It’s best tablet you can buy, in two convenient sizes.

1. Google Chromecast


Instead of trying to do everything — like Google’s famously ambitious and unsuccessful Google TV — this thumb-sized gizmo does one thing, does it as simply as possible and does it for the impulse-purchase price of $35. Plug it into one of your TV’s HDMI ports, and you can fling videos and other content from your laptop, tablet or phone to the big screen, no wires involved. Lots of companies have built devices to do this; Chromecast is the first one that gets it right.

Apple iPhone 5S review

Posted by Unknown 0 comments


Launching 2013's most anticipated smartphone comes with its perils and pleasures. Simultaneously launching a second handset targeting a completely new demographic, for the first time in your company's history, is brave as it is hazardous. However, as we've come to expect from the most Marmite tech company in the world, if anyone can pull it off, it's Apple.

Hardware

Of course the new iPhone 5s is the best iPhone Apple ever made, just like every new high end iPhone Apple releases each year. The iPhone 5s is difficult to distinguish from last year's iPhone 5 so if you liked that hardware you will like this one as well.
The iPhone 5s retains the 4 inch screen, which is quite small in comparison to Android and Windows Phones today. This was one area I was most apprehensive about and I do find text to be a bit small at times, but that may also be due to how light the fonts are in iOS 7. A reader pointed out I can change the font weight in the buried Accessibility options so it looks much better now.
The display looks fantastic though and having a phone that is so pocketable is handy. Apple still rules in touch responsiveness and that is another refreshing aspect of using an iPhone.
The new Touch ID home button is slick and works very well. I have programmed my two thumbs and an index finger to unlock my iPhone and it works nearly every time. In addition to unlocking the iPhone, it is very convenient for purchasing apps and I would love to see the ability to unlock websites with passwords or other apps, ewallet for example, via touch.  You do not press down on the home button, just place your finger over it.
The HTC One Max I tried required that you swipe your finger in a very specific manner and that sensor rarely worked.
The new A7 chip is "future proof" due to the 64-bit architecture and I look forward to seeing what developers can do with it. Everything still flies on the iPhone and performance is outstanding.
There is a new M7 motion co-processor in the iPhone 5s that allows developers access to the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. Runkeeper and Nike Fuelband apps are currently available to take advantage of this co-processor and allow your iPhone to capture data similar to what a life tracker captures.
I ended up with a white/silver iPhone 5s since I wanted at least 32GB of storage. The front is white with the top and bottom back pieces being white plastic while the main part of the back is silver metal. The edges are beveled, like what HTC did with the One, and it really looks great.
There is only a mono speaker on the iPhone 5s, but Apple did a fabulous job with it and it sounds great with loud volume. The speaker performance is one reason the iPhone 5s is staying and the Nexus 5 is going back today. A good speaker is important to me for pod-casts and phone calls.
Apple put an improved camera on the back that includes a new flash, called True Tone flash, the adjust color and intensity for over 1,000 combinations. I am taking some comparison photos with other devices and so far like what I see in the iPhone 5s camera.
In addition to the improved camera hardware with f/2.2 aperture and a larger sensor with 1.5 micro pixels, the iPhone 5s has software to capture burst mode and slow motion video. Android devices have had these capabilities for a while so it is nice to see Apple adding them on the iPhone.
I like having a physical ringer switch too and the volume buttons on the iPhone 5s are easy to find and control.
The battery has gotten me through long days, but is not a multi-day performer for my usage. It may get better over time as I manage my notifications and figure out what I really need running in the background. It is better than the Nexus 5 and there are plenty of charging options available for the iPhone 5s.

Software

The iPhone 5s  had iOS 7 when it was launched but after a week or so a new update was lauched iOS 7.0.2
I find the Control Center to be quite useful, LOVE the new webOS-like multi-tasking experience, enjoy the new notifications format, and am using Siri more and more every day.
After talking about the iPhone 5s with Kevin Tofel on MobileTechRoundup show #309 I conducted tests between the iPhone 5s and Nexus 5 using the updated Google Now app on iOS and found repeatedly that the iPhone 5s offers up an even faster experience than the Nexus 5.
The Google experience on iOS is arguably better than on Android. I have my email coming through the Gmail app, Google Now rocks with new hands-free search capability, and Google Maps performs very well too.

Pros and Cons

To summarize my experiences with the Apple iPhone 5S, here are my pros and cons.

Pros

  • Very high quality hardware
  • Super fast performance
  • Latest and greatest apps and services
  • Good point and shoot camera replacement
  • Useful fingerprint scanner

Cons

  • Battery life could be better, give me iPad-like performance
  • Display is small, by today's standards

Pricing and availability

Apple's iPhone products are expensive and the iPhone 5s starts at $199 for the 16GB with a 2-year contract up to $399 for the 64GB model with a 2-year contract.
To gauge the real cost of the iPhone 5s, you have to look to T-Mobile or the unlocked versions. The 16GB model is priced at $649.91 with the 64GB model priced at $849.91. When you look at the 32GB Nexus 5 at $399, that seems like quite a deal compared to the 32GB iPhone 5s at $749.91.
Availability varies, with most retail carrier stores carrying only the 16GB model in space gray or silver. There is an elusive gold model and higher capacities are generally available directly from Apple in 2-4 weeks. I lucked out and scored a 32GB model at my local T-Mobile store, but they only had two of them in the silver color.

The competition

I listed the competition in my top 10 smartphones for the 2013 holiday season post with the iPhone 5s in the number one position.
The best Android phones are either the Note 3 (if you want a large device with stylus support) or the HTC One (fantastic design and latest OS). The Nokia Lumia 1020 competes in the camera department and there are plenty of other worthy Android devices, such as the Nexus 5, Moto X, Galaxy S4, and more. All are priced less than the iPhone 5s too.

Specifications

  • iOS 7 operating system
  • Apple A7 64-bit processor with M7 motion coprocessor
  • 1GB RAM and 16/32/64GB flash storage memory options
  • 4 inch 1136x640 pixel resolution display at 326 ppi
  • 8 megapixel rear camera with True Tone flash and five element lens
  • 1.2 megapixel front facing camera
  • Fingerprint sensor under the home button
  • Estimated 1,570 mAh non-removable battery
  • 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 low energy
  • Sensors include proximity, accelerometer, finger print, and gyroscope
  • Dimensions of 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm and 112 grams (3.95 ounces)

Conclusion

The iPhone 5s looks like last year's iPhone 5 and even works with most all of those accessories. However, the improved internal processor, Touch ID implementation, and improvements to the camera make it a device to consider even if you already have an iPhone 5.
It's an easy upgrade to make for 4s and earlier owners and may even bring over some Android users. I purchased one in large part because I am tired of seeing cools apps and services launching first on iOS and then not being able to test them until they come to Android. Android still doesn't have consistent radios and standards so many of them won't be getting support for services like Pebble or Fitbit.
The smaller display bothers me a bit, but Apple's hardware is stunning and the trade-off for apps and functionality is worth it to me. If the iPhone 5s had a 4.3 to 4.7 display, an IR port for remote control capability, and Qi wireless charging then I would have given it a 10 out of 10.

Top 10 Smartphones of 2013 (1-5)

Posted by Unknown Sunday, 8 December 2013 0 comments

1: Apple iPhone 5s

The iPhone 5s has the same form factor as the iPhone 5, with an improved 64-bit A7 processor and the addition of a fingerprint-enabled Touch ID central home button that makes it convenient to unlock and purchase apps from the App Store.
The iPhone camera is one of the most popular cameras in use today and the iPhone 5s sees an updated camera appear to make the experience even better.
iOS 7 launched with the iPhone 5s and I am a fan of the control center, updated notifications, improved Siri integration, and multitasking reminiscent of webOS.
The iPhone 5s feels expensive in the hand, and it is, but the fact that most new apps and services first launch on iOS is a major reason I purchased one and selected it as my top smartphone. Thanks to Apple's strict control over the hardware, developers are able to roll out apps knowing they will perform consistently.
Prices range from $199 to $399 on contract or $649 to $849 with no contract. The iPhone 5s is available on all major carriers.

Number 2: HTC One

I have been using an HTC One for about nine months and still think it is the best smartphone I have ever used.
So why didn't I give it the number one spot? The camera is fine for many situations, but there is very little "depth" in photos so details you find from other 8 megapixel or greater phone cameras are not there. If the camera is fine for you, then the HTC One may be the device to consider with fantastic hardware, Android 4.3 and the promise that 4.4 is coming, and a premium piece of hardware.
The HTC One hardware is fantastic and unmatched by any other smartphone, in my opinion. The metal body feels great in your hand and looks incredible. HTC's Super LCD displays have led the industry over the past year and manufacturers are still trying to match their awesome 1080p 4.7 inch Super LCD 3. It is powered by a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. While there is no microSD slot, there are internal memory options of 32GB and 64GB so that should be plenty for most people. You will also find dual mics, front facing stereo speakers, an ultra pixel camera with optical image stabilization (OIS).
In addition to top class hardware, HTC continues to offer a great user experience with Sense 5 updates and 5.5 coming soon.
You can buy the HTC One for as low as $50 subsidized on most carriers or $550 full price with no contract.

3: Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung throws everything, but the kitchen sink, in the Galaxy Note 3 and I found the experience both rewarding and frustrating.
The hardware is better than the Note II and the software is optimized for the S Pen experience. Samsung softened TouchWiz and I enjoyed using many of the additional value-added services and apps provided by Samsung.
The Galaxy Note 3 has it all and is the most powerful and capable Android device available today. You will find a 1.6 GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor, a whopping 3GB of RAM, 5.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display, 13 megapixel rear camera, 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB internal memory with microSD storage for up to 64GB more storage, huge 3,200 mAh removable battery so you can go a long time without charging, Bluetooth 4.0, LTE, NFC, and more.
You can find the Galaxy Note 3 on all major US wireless carriers and it is definitely a device to consider, especially for the road warrior who wants the ability to swap batteries and expand storage capacity on the go.
The Note 3 is priced at $299.99 on contract from most carriers with a full price of $699.99 without a contract.

4: Nokia Lumia 1020

Recently Nokia revealed Their Nokia Lumia 1020.  Windows Phone continues to slowly gain market share and the best device they have at the moment is the Nokia Lumia 1020. The 1520 is coming before Thanksgiving and offers a larger display, faster processor, and lower resolution camera.
The Lumia 1020 is the phone to purchase if taking photos is one of your primary uses for your smartphone. Most top apps are available for Windows Phone, but there are still limitations on connectivity to accessories such as smartwatches and life activity trackers.
Nokia provides a number of services and apps on their Lumia devices. These include HERE Maps turn-by-turn voice navigation, Nokia Music+, advanced camera lenses and camera software, and many other Nokia exclusive apps.
Unfortunately, you can still only purchase the Lumia 1020, and soon the 1520, from AT&T in the US. The 1020 is now available for $199.99 with a 2-year contract. There are good alternative Lumias on other carriers (928, 925, etc.), but Nokia hasn't yet launched one device across all the major US carriers.

5: Google Nexus 5



5Nexus5

At the fifth position we have Google Nexus 5.  Google recently released the Nexus 5 with the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat. The devices is sold out on the Play Store with backlogs of 3-4 weeks so you better order now if you want one before Christmas.
The Nexus 5 has the latest and greatest internal specifications, including a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM, 8 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, Qi wireless charging, and more.
The Nexus 5 is the first device with Android 4.4 and it is a solid Android update. It's not perfect, but it offers an enjoyable user experience.
The price of the Nexus 5 is fantastic, if you compare apples-to-apples. However, in the US most people buy their phones with a subsidy so the real value may not be realized as the Nexus 5 is priced nearly the same as the latest and greatest smartphones. $349 (16GB) and $399 (32GB) are amazing SIM-unlocked prices that are $200 to more than $300 less than other Android and iOS devices.
