iPhone SE is back! What can Apple expect from the Indian market after pricing it for Rs. 42500

As we all know, Apple released the iPhone SE (2nd generation or 2020 as people are calling it lately) for Rs. 42,500 by the means of a Press Release keeping in mind the prevailing situation throughout the world due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a well thought decision of not holding a event during this time.



Now coming to the point where I want to talk about the Indian markets in particular.

We have seen that the budget iPhone as we used to call it back then, the iPhone XR which launched in October, 2016



Let us evaluate the gains and losses of buying the SE over XR

Gains :-

  • Comes cheaper
  • Compact form factor suitable from small hands
  • Touch ID 
  • A13 Bionic Chip
  • WiFi 6 and advance 
  • Sapphire Crystal Lens cover for added protection against scratch
  • Portrait lighting with background effects for the camera


 Losses :-

  • Smaller Screen 
  • Less battery life as claimed
  • No Face ID


To sum this all up one can safely go for the SE even in 2020 as it is based on a design from apple that it continued from iPhone 6 on wards, with just minor changes here and there but running the latest iOS and would be supporting the future updates to the iOS as well. If you are into gaming and similar stuff like that which require a slightly bigger display, then considering the XR which would cost a couple of thousand bucks more than SE is not a bad option.

But the main point, that is, the difference in the pricing in USA ($399) which translates to Rs. 30631 and the launch price of India is more than Rs. 10,000 which I think is a way too much to ask for.



A humble pricing of Rs. 35,000 could have attracted even more audience towards Apple with this launch. But there could still be a cashback offer with specific brands like we saw with the iPhone 11 series which offered straight up discount of 7000 on the iPhone 11 if payment was made using HDFC Bank Card.

I will update this post as there is announcement of any Bank offers or best buy links as it will come to my knowledge, for anything else, comment down below.

How to make an Android app easily for your website/blog and share it in an Application store

 how to create android app for my website

If you own a website, whether a business site, blog or any other type, at some point of time you might have searched in Google on How to increase your site's traffic. That is because traffic plays an important role in the sustainment of a website. You might be a person who have struggled a lot to get some traffic or someone who realized its importance just after reading this. Whoever you are keep in mind that you should always research on utilising available resources to gain traffic to your website. For your knowledge website traffic is mainly classified into three.


Types of website traffic

Direct Traffic

Direct traffic is that traffic you usually get from your regular readers.In other words,  if a person types your website URL directly in the browser to visit your website or use a bookmark, it is called direct traffic. In order to get such type of traffic you should keep in mind certain factors.

  • Your domain should be something striking and easy to remember.
  • Domain name should be related to your niche.
  • Try to avoid using sub-domains.
  • Avoid using long and confusing names

Sharing quality and useful posts regularly will eventually gain you some readers who contribute more to direct traffic.

Search Traffic

The traffic that you attain from different search engines are called Search Traffic. It is the most important source of traffic for your website. You will have to gain some knowledge in Search Engine Optimisation(SEO) in order to get properly benefitted from search engines like Google, Bing etc.

Other Traffic

All blog visits apart from Search and Direct sources will come under this classification. It can be from other blogs, forums, social networks or any other sources. YouTube can also plays a major role in building traffic as it is the most used search engine after Google. You will need to learn to use these services in an efficient way to make them generate traffic for you. Traffic from Android app also comes under this category. But developing an Android app is not at all easy as it sounds. You should have some programming skills in Java and certain other fields as well.And that is not everyone’s cup of tea. The next option available is to shed some money by hiring a developer to create an app for your site. That is the best option if you have enough fund. But what if you are on a tight budget or have no plan to hire a developer?  Then you are in the right place. Below you will learn to create a simple Android app to open your website link directly in a phone's browser. I bet this is the easiest method as it is done completely online and you won't need any coding or such stuffs.

Creating  an App

The app created will be more like a bookmark rather than a normal Android app. The end result will be an apk file that can be installed on any Android device. I have found half a dozen of websites for creating android apps online but i recommend the best one i’ve found. I prefer this because there won't be any Ads of the website in the app generated. Not just that, the app will be less that 100kb in size!

STEPS:

Open Makeapk.com in your browser. In the first pace you will notice that the site is not complicated at all. You can complete the whole process in the first page itself.


  • Enter your website URL
  • Enter title (this will be the name of the app)
  • Give email ID
  • Select a default icon or provide an icon of your choice.(if you don’t have an icon now just use any of the icons listed. I will explain an easy way to change the icon without corrupting the file).
  • Press Submit and you are good to go. Simply download your official Android App.

Upload your App to an App store

That's it, you have just successfully created your Android app. You can now share your app with your friends or your regular readers. But its more important to share it in a reputed application store so that your app will be available to a whole lot of users worldwide. You can select any third party stores of your choice.

In case of Opera Mobile Store, you will need to create a developer account first. PRESS HERE to sign up for a free publisher account with Opera Store. Read the simple instructions to upload your apk file. Your app will be available for download after it is verified which usually takes 12 hours. You will be notified via email.

opera store

If you have created your First Android app for your app, you can share its link in the comment section below. Sharing is caring, so do share this with others.

How to root Micromax Bolt A47

What is Android Rooting?
Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s sub-system.
Rooting Android is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and setting, run specialized apps that require administer-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device’s operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.
The steps how you can root your device are:- 
  •  Download Framaroot
  • Install it on your Micromax Bolt A47
  • Open App Drawer and then Launch Framaroot
  • Touch Boromir or Barahir
  • It will say “Success ( … Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device”
  • Tap on “OK”
  • Reboot your Device.
Voila, Now your Micromax Bolt A47 is rooted
NOTE:-
If you download the APK file from the link I have given you need to have Unknown Sources checked in the Security Tab in the Settings
Rooting will make your warranty void.
If anything goes wrong if steps not followed as mentioned above I am NOT responsible. (Anyways you can contact me for help ;))

How to open PDF files in your Nokia Asha


pdf reader asha 503



Portable Document Format, popularly known as PDF documents, is a file format developed by Adobe Systems. It looks like a printed document and can be viewed in Adobe Reader, a free application from Adobe Systems itself. PDF files are especially useful for documents such as magazine articles, product brochures, or flyers in which you want to preserve the original graphic appearance.

Now PDF readers are available for smartphones as well. You can completely view and edit any PDF file if you are on the go. Adobe Reader is also officially available for all major mobile operating systems including Andriod, Windows Phone, iOS, Symbian etc. But if you are using a series 40 based phone(like a Nokia Asha phone), there are no efficient PDF readers available yet. Although there are apps like eZReader, mobilePDF, PDF Viewer, RJ PDF Reader etc available for download, these apps can’t load files greater than 1MB, also they dont even get opened in the new Nokia Asha Platform(they never worked for me). While surfing internet with our mobile, at some point of time, we might have encountered with a PDF file and wondered how to open it. Like the invoice we receive from Flipkart after a purchase or the phone’s user guide or a novel. So here are some tutorials on how to read PDF files in your phone apart from using a mobile PDF reader.

Using an E-Book reader

alb
Albite Reader is actually a mobile Ebook reader for java mobiles developed by Svetlin Ankov, that supports .txt, .epub files. To read PDF files in this Ebook reader, you need to convert it to .epub format. There won’t be any images in the converted file, but this is the best way for reading novels and stories in your mobile. Don’t worry about the conversion part as you don’t need any PC for that, you can convert it online instead. PDFPOCKET is a free online service that helps you convert PDF to EPUB online. After the download, you can open the file in Albite Reader and enjoy.
Try some PDF novels from here, convert it and read in Albite reader[ DOWNLOAD ]

Read PDF files online

iv2
InvokeVirtual now allows to read PDF files online in your mobile browser. They also provide other services including removing ads, extract .zip files, .rar files read .doc(x) files etc. You can read your pdf file online with InvokeVirtual. Visit here.

Convert PDF to Images

If you still prefer to read your file without loosing the images, you can download each page as an image so that you can simply open it in your phone’s gallery and zoom in to read. The only drawback is that large pdf files will be hundreds of images to download. Visit here to convert your files.

Open in your Gmail account

logo
Gmail also provides an option to view PDF in your mobile browser. Upload the file to your account or send the PDF file from another account to your account. You can find a ‘View Html’ option at the bottom of the mail, beside the download option. This will do the trick. But as this is a basic html view, there won’t be any images shown.

Do you know/use any method other than these to open PDF files in your mobile? Do let us know. Feel free to drop a messege to our Facebook page.
Sharing is caring ! so share this with your friends.

Google Chrome in your mobile (a UC Browser Mod that supports Landscape too)


UC Browser is the best and one of the popular browsers available for budget phones running in Java (like Asha OS).UC Browser is designed to make mobile web access quicker and lightweight. It has got a number of interesting features that enrich your mobile browsing experience.
Some handy features of UC Browser
  1. Support for both touch and non-touch devices
  2. A whole lot of bookmarks of useful sites
  3. UDisk (Free online storage)
  4. Sync bookmark option
  5. Tabbed browsing
  6. Incognito Browsing
  7. Clipboard, File Manager, Themes
  8. Brightness control and night mode
  9. Desktop and Mobile view
  10. The best-in-class Download Manager
UC Browser is a proxy-based mobile browser. It is the best competitor for similar browsers like Opera Mini, One Browser and all. Opera Mini is the most used mobile browser because it compress the sites very well that the sites load much faster. Opera Mini gives the best browsing experience in mobiles but when it comes to downloading it don’t come up with the powerful download manager in UC Browser. While downloading, whatever happens to your connection the downloading will be paused automatically and you can continue later from where you have stopped. You can download large files in UC Browser without fearing about the download getting cancelled in the middle of the process.You can download the latest version of  UC Browser officially from here.
 
 
Below is a modified version of UC Browser 9.4.1 that looks like Google Chrome. The icon and splash screen is changed with Google Chrome logo and more over the app supports both landscape and portrait modes for phones having an in-built proximity sensor. The app works the same way as the Facebook Landscape app i provided earlier. It works perfectly on devices like Nokia Asha 501(tested ok), 502, 503, 311 etc. And it feels great to have a Chrome logo in your homescreen. If you get an error while installing either move the jar file into phone memory or uninstall the current UC Browser you use.

How to Remove Advertisements from Apps/Games in Asha 5XX phones

asha 501 no more ads in gamesNokia Asha OS is a much advanced version of Nokia’s Series 40 OS for feature phones. These phones are equipped with the features of smartphones at the price that fits everybody’s budget. This revolutionary move by Nokia started with the launch of Asha 501 and now has 5 variants in this row. Tons of apps are available for this platform in Nokia Store. Nokia is providing a huge opportunity for developers to reach the world. Store has a wide reach all over the world and helps developers to attain downloads for their products. There are mainly three methods for developers to earn,
  1. 1. A paid app
  2. 2. A free app with in-app payment
  3. 3. A free app
Apart from these, a developer can include Ads in his app. This is also a major source of income for the developer. With this feature , the app/game will display an advertisement when the user opens the app. But to run the app, it requires a working internet connection. In case of games, The game can’t be played if there is no data pack active. And for a user of a budget phone like Asha, will find it hard to use data packs as the network providers are making it costlier day by day. And these useless advertisements irritates me a lot too.

So this is a tutorial to remove the Advertisements and skip to the game directly. This can be done in three easy steps, completely in the mobile itself. I strongly recommend you to use use UC Browser (Download) for this.

Steps for removing Ads. from Apps/Games

First and foremost, create a new folder in your memory card, say My Folder.
(If you are in UC Browser now, you can create a New Folder without closing it.
Simply go to Downloads > Menu > FileManager > Memorycard > create New Folder)

1. Open Nokia Store in a new tab in UC Browser. Search for the Game you wish to remove ads. For example, Let the game’s name be AngryBirds and press . In the ‘Download Notice’ page press SAVE and save it to My Folder. Now you have downloaded the JAD file of the Game and it will be downloaded as ‘AngryBirds_240x320_jad’. Now close the tab.

download screenshot uc browser

2. Open this LINK in a new tab and upload the file (AngryBirds_240x320_jad) to its server. You will get a link to download the JAR file of the game (AngryBirds_240x320.jar) in the next page. Now download the file just like you downloaded the JAD file, save it to MyFolder. Wait for the file to get fully downloaded and the file will be named like ‘AngryBirds_240x320_jar’. Now close the tab.

3. Open this LINK in new tab and upload the jar file to the site. Wait sometime for the file to get uploaded and in the next page you can download the file ‘AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed_jar.

Now simply rename the file (AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed_jar) to (AngryBirds_240x320_Ad_Removed.jar). Before you close the browser and start playing your game, Please like us on facebook !!
