The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is gathering pace with more flagship smartphones that use the platform seeing the later version of the operating system reaching them, but last week Google muddied the waters a bit by announcing another version of the Jelly Bean software. Today we now have news of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 Android 4.2 update timefram.

oogle has already begun pushing out the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update to the Samsung Galaxy S3, even though users in the US and some customers of certain carriers in the UK are still waiting for the software to arrive. The Galaxy Note 2 was launched with the software already on board but now as GottaBe Mobile is reporting there are reports that Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is being tipped to arrive on the handsets during the first quarter of next year.

If the rumours are correct the two smartphones will be the first Samsung devices to receive the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update, and the quarter runs from January through to March. Obviously this news hasn’t been confirmed by Samsung themselves so the usual pinch of salt is needed, but considering the specifications of the two handsets and the fact they are currently the flagship devices in the company’s line up, being the first to receive Android 4.2 makes sense.

“We base it on experience, what users have asked about around the world,” Mr. In’t Ven said. “We’re trying to reflect the world’s collective intentions.” If people wonder whether other people are gay, “that is the collective intention, and we abide with it.”

Mr. In’t Ven added that he and his colleagues at Microsoft have often discussed some of the strange questions. A few months ago, they became interested in the frequent inquiries from search engine users about cultural stereotypes.
ype “why are Americans,” and the autocomplete choices include “fat,” “stupid” and “patriotic.” Substitute “Chinese,” and the autocompletes include “skinny,” “rude” and “smart.” If autocomplete is any indicator, search engine users regularly wonder if Jews are smarter and whether African-Americans are better athletes.

In a statement, Krisztina Radosavljevic-Szilagyi, a Google spokeswoman, wrote: “The search queries that you see as part of autocomplete are a reflection of the search activity of all Web users.” She declined to give an interview about autocomplete, but added in her note that Google tries to accurately reflect the diversity of what is on the Internet, whether good or bad.

There are other possibilities for why these questions yield impolitic results.

One is the nature of language. Questions beginning with “is” might be more likely to lend themselves to asking about someone’s sexuality than questions beginning with, for example, “where.” However, on Bing, sexual orientation also is a regular topic with questions beginning with the word “was” (Was J. Edgar Hoover gay?). .....

Many people now carry around two cell phones in order to have a business and personal lines. With smartphones increasing in size, carrying two different handsets around can get quite annoying, which is why dual SIM smartphones have come around. While most of them are pretty lackluster, the popular and powerful Samsung Galaxy S3 looks like it will be getting a dual SIM variant that should have consumers excited.

According to a report from Unwired View, a Samsung Galaxy S3 model SCH-i939D has been spotted in China. The SCH-i939D Galaxy S3 sports two SIM slots - one GSM slot and one CDMA slot. This will allow for two phone numbers to work via the same handset.

The dual SIM Galaxy S3 looks like it will retain the same specs as the international Galaxy S3. This means the smartphone will have a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 1.4GHz Exynos quad-core processor, and 1GB RAM. The SCH-i939D Galaxy S3 will also have the same 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera as the normal, single SIM Galaxy S3.

The only difference is that the SCH-i939D Galaxy S3 will come with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box. Most Galaxy S3 owners around the world have already received their Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update, but some countries, including certain carriers here in the United States, have been slow to roll out the upgrade, leaving some owners still waiting.

Samsung is also slated to release a dual SIM Galaxy Note 2, and while there is no pricing on the SCH-i939D Galaxy S3, it should be cheaper than the dual SIM Galaxy Note 2. The dual SIM Galaxy S3 should be releasing next month, according to reports from around the web.

As of now, there is no indication that this dual SIM Galaxy S3 will be releasing across a wide range of markets. It is doubtful that the United States will ever receive it, but there is a good chance that more Asian countries other than China might receive the variant.

Does a dual SIM Galaxy S3 have you excited? Is the dual SIM feature enticing enough to make you to buy a particular smartphone?


 
 
Like many Android users, you might get bored with the standard stock Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) ROM. Here is how to flash a custom ROM with Siyah kernel. If I was able to do it, anyone can. Here’s a guide for noobs.

I did this with the Cyanogenmod 9 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S2. But it should work similarly on all Android devices.

First,  you will need to download Odin for your computer. You will use Odin to flash Siyah kernel.

Next, download Siyah kernel.

Ensure your phone has enough battery life (more than 50%, just to be safe). Also ensure you have enough free storage space (about 1Gb).

Switch your phone off and boot it into Odin mode. This can be done by pressing the following key combination when your phone is off: The volume-down button + the home button + the power button. It will display a warning, and you have to press volume-up button again to continue. Once in Odin mode, open Odin on your computer and connect your phone via USB.

Odin will pick up that your phone was connected. Next, click on PDA and browse to the Siyah kernel you downloaded earlier.

Now flash the PDA. Odin will display a ‘success’ status. Now you’ve got a rooted phone. If that is all you want, you’re done.

But if you’d want a custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod, read on.

The Siyah kernel replaced your default bootloader. Now you can dual boot with stock ICS and a custom ROM if you want.

Next, download the latest Cyanogenmod build for your device on your PC. Now you have to move that .zip file to your phone’s memory to be used later by Siyah kernel. You can put your phone into USB file transfer mode to transfer the Cyanogenmod ROM to your phone’s memory.

When you have the .zip file on your phone, go to the CWM app on your phone. This app was added by Siyah kernel. Select Boot Recovery to reboot your phone into Siyah kernel’s bootloader. This is where the magic will happen.

Now we are going to flash Cyanogenmod (or other ROM compatible with Siyah kernel) as the secondary ROM. This way, you keep your original ROM (stock ICS), and dual boot with Cyanogenmod ROM, allowing you to use CM and see if you like it first, before making it your primary.

In CWMR Touch (the Siyah kernel’s recovery loader) menu, select “dual-boot options”. Next, select “Install zip to 2ndROM from internal SD”, or external SD, depending on where you stored the previously downloaded Cyanogenmod zip file.

Browse to the .zip file and select it. Choose Yes to flash. It may take a while to install. CWMR Touch (Clockword mod) will display a “success” message when done. Now you have  Cyanogenmod as your second ROM!

Every time you power on your phone, the boot loader will allow you to choose which ROM you’d like to use (currently stock ICS is default, CM9 is secondary).

If you like your newly installed ROM and would like to make it your primary ROM, you can do the following. Reboot into CWMR Touch (Siyah kernel’s recovery mode), and select “Dual-boot options” again. Now select “Swap 1stROM and 2ndROM”. It will take a while to back up your primary ROM, move your secondary ROM to your phone’s primary ROM position, and restore your original primary ROM (stock ICS) to the secondary ROM position. Now your phone will automatically load the Cyanogenmod ROM when it boots, but you still have the option to load the original stock ICS ROM if you prefer at boot time..

How to update custom ROM

To update your custom ROM when a newer version is released requires that you first swap your primary and secondary ROM again (making stock ICS primary and Cyanogenmod secondary). If you kept ICS as your primary ROM from the start, this step isn’t necassary.

Next, you have to save the .zip file of the updated ROM you’d like to install to your phone’s memory and load it with Siyah kernel’s recovery bootloader, just like done previously. You will be overwriting the current Cyanogenmod version on your phone with the new version. The update will be non-wipe, so you won’t loose any of your apps or settings.

Disclaimer: This process will count towards your device’s custom binary counter, which cannot be reset, meaning your warranty will be void. There is also always the possibility that you might soft brick your phone. I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone (duh!.).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs):

1) What is dual booting?
Dual booting is the ability to boot into two different Ice Cream Sandwich-based ROMs (like CM9 and your stock ICS ROM). You are given the opportunity to choose which ROM to boot each time your phone starts.

2) How is this done?
This is achieved by sharing the kernel and using a hidden partition in dev/block to store the 2nd ROM’s /system and the /sdcard (Internal storage) to store /data and /cache inside a hidden folder (/sdcard/.secondrom)

3) How long does it take to clone a ROM?
It should take around 7 minutes

4) How do I choose which ROM I want to load?
When you get the splash screen to choose between ROMs, touch the screen or press volume UP to enter the PRIMARY ROM, and press the Home button or volume down for the SECONDARY ROM.

5) How can I remove the Dual boot and its partitions?
Just use the “Remove 2nd ROM” option in the Dual Boot options menu.

6) If I format my /sdcard, will my second ROM go kaput?
Yep, because you’re wiping the folder that contains /data and /cache.

7) Can I dual boot a gingerbread ROM in a ICS ROM?
Nope. You can’t mix ICS-based ROMs with Gingerbread ROMs.

8) What’s the basic architecture behind dual booting?
Any rom will have /system, /data, /cache partitions and requires a kernel to boot. Primary rom has all these partitions on the same location and partitions as if you were single-booting. ie, /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 for /system and rootfs for /data and /cache. Secondary rom uses a hidden partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9) for /system and sdcard to store /data and /cache partitions. They’re stored in /sdcard/.secondrom directory as mountable ext4 block device images (data.img and cache.img).
Kernel partition is shared, so same kernel boots both the roms. If you switch from Siyah to a different kernel, dual booting will not be available even though there’s a clone of secondary rom. Internal sdcard, external plastic sdcard, /efs, /emmc, other kernel related virtual filesystem directories, etc are shared among roms.

9) How much time was it to clone a rom?
There’s /system, /data/ and /cache to clone. 2 GB data + 103mb cache + 513 mb system = 2.6 gb
Shell prompt read speed = 7mb per second.
Total Time = 2.6*(1024/7) = 380 secs = 6/7 minutes.

10) Will i get a prompt to dual-boot if i’m not using dual boot, as in i haven’t cloned any rom to use as secondary?
NO

11) I don’t like waiting for 3 seconds to boot into primary ROM.
A. Touch the screen/press volume up key immediately upon prompt.

12) How to undo dual booting?
Use “Remove 2ndRom” from dual-boot options in recovery.

13) How to remove secondary rom if “Remove 2ndRom” in touch recovery fails for some reason?
Format 2nrom /system partition from dualboot options in recovery, remove data.img and cache.img under /sdcard/.secondrom directory manually by booting into primary rom. Also delete /secondrom directory.

14) So if at all i format /sdcard, my second rom is gone?
Yes

15) Can i have both aosp roms/both samsung roms/first aosp, second samsung/first samsung,second aosp?
Yes

16) Can i have one GB rom and second ICS rom?
No

17) Why?
Kernel partition is shared between roms. Dual boot functionality is implemented in ICS kernel. ICS kernel can run only ICS roms.

18) Can i have different kernels for the two roms?
NO. Kernel partition is shared.

19) USB mass storage works?
Yes. Both cards will be mounted for primary and secondary roms. MTP works too.

20) If i had the same /data partition shared between roms, i could use same apps on both roms.
Data partition can not be shared as they’re incompatible between roms. (Sometimes dev asks you to perform full wipe even if you’re switching between versions of the same rom right). Even if they were shared, separate dalvik caches has to be used and hence every boot will take a long time to rebuild dalvik.

21) Are init.d scripts and extweaks profiles shared across the roms so that i can make changes by booting into any rom and the other rom automatically inherits the settings?
NO. Roms have differet /system partitions so different init.d directories. Roms uses different /data partitions so different extweaks settings since extweaks profiles are stored under /data/.siyah. Configure both separately. Initramfs scripts are shared anyway because Roms use the same kernel.

22) Can i use titanium to backup and restore apps on both roms?
Yes. With the default settings of titanium backup, it uses /sdcard/TitaniumBackup directoryto backup apps. Assume you have the same app installed in both roms and you backed up the app from both roms. Then when you restore app+data, the last backup is restored. (regardless of from which rom was it backed up last. Because the app database is overwritten for each backup). If you want to maintain exclusiveness between apps in the two roms, use a different backup directory in second rom. Reason for exclusivity could be – you need different settings for same app in the roms OR you have reached level 2 of a game in rom1 and level 6 in rom2 and you need to maintain that, etc.

21) After setting up Second Rom, i don’t see a prompt to boot into second rom.
Try wiping Second Rom Cache and Dalvik.

22) What’s happening when i wipe /data and /cache of 2ndROM during the first time setup of dual boot?”
Two empty mountable EXT4 images – data.img and cache.img are created in /sdcard/.secondrom. While flashing zips to second rom, /data and /cache of second rom needs to be mounted in respective mmcblk. This empty .img files helps zip flashing without having the trouble to create them first.

23. Will flashing a rom zip to second rom (when i already have dual booting) change kernel? I may lose dual boot if so.
NO. Flashing kernel is prevented for second rom if the zip contains a kernel.

Most of this info I found on the XDA forums, specifically the  Dual Boot Guide thread, the Siyah Kernel thread, and this post by droidphile.

Microsoft is sending invitations for an upcoming Windows Phone Summit event in San Francisco. The date is June 20 and the occasion – “a sneak peak of the future of Windows Phone”.

The next major release of Windows Phone (8.0, codenamed Apollo) should be the focal point of this year's Summit.
 We are still very much in the dark regarding the Windows Phone Apollo features and looks as Microsoft and its partners have managed to keep a tight lid on it. The few confirmed bits include multi-core CPU support and backwards compatibility with the current WP apps.Well, June 20 is close, so we won't have to wait too long to find out soon what’s next for Windows Phone.

 
 

SAN FRANCISCO: Two days of court-directed peace talks between the chiefs of iPhone-maker Apple and smartphone giant Samsung ended with no sign of a truce in the legal battle headed for court in Silicon Valley. 

Apple boss Tim Cook and Samsung chief Choi Gee-Sung met in San Francisco for nine hours on Monday and again for seven hours on Tuesday after a judge asked the bosses to personally try to resolve the case and avoid trial.

Terse paperwork in the San Francisco federal courthouse on Wednesday confirmed that Cook and Choi met in sessions mediated by Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero but showed no sign of accord. 

A report in the Korea Times cited a Samsung official as saying that no settlement deal was struck. 

District court Judge Lucy Koh is presiding over two closely watched patent lawsuits pitting the companies against one another and wanted them to resolve their differences before trials, the first of which is slated to begin in July. 

Apple and Samsung, a leading maker of smartphones and tablets using Google-backed Android mobile software, are fighting patent battles in more than half a dozen countries. 

Each company accuses the other of infringing on patented technology in smartphones or tablets.

Samsung is a leading maker of Android devices, but it also supplies California-based maker of iPads, iPhones, and iPods parts for its coveted gadgets.
