PhonesFacebook App Is Causing Battery Drain On Android by Sphilip1(op): 5:05am On Feb 07, 2016
Source: www.techkibay.com

The official mobile application of the Social media giant, Facebook has been known to be slowing smartphones by 15 percentage and as well have been consuming excess battery power.


Express.co.uk earlier reported that a large population of users complained that the app has caused a lot of battery drainage and has made their phone perform slower.


This issue was the talk of the day by many Facebook fans on Reddit.


To confirm were the fault is coming from, the old scientific principle was put into place, an app test.


A test involving 15 different popular apps was carried out on a smartphone, each of the various app loaded fast when Facebook was uninstalled from the phone.


A Reddit user said;
The Facebook messenger appears to be worse than Facebook it self, its been causing my phone to slow down"


Another user said that, "I think it had just become so bloated with features, things they kept adding to the main site that people wanted in the mobile apps also," adding, "Combine this with Android's tendency to let apps run wild in the background."

Technology itself has no founder, since cave men actually did some inventions that helped them live in their own life time.


Have you ever thought about how wheels came into existence?

Before wheels ever came into existence, men used muscle power and as time went by, animals were used.


Wheels were actually invented more than 5,000 years ago and the very first evidence of wheeled vehicles came from the last centuries of the fourth millennium.


Technology has always been born and will always been born.


Before the electric bulb was invented, there was no such thing, before digital calculators, people used abacus.

Science/Technology[photo + Video].....a New Paddlock That Uses Finger Print.... Tapplock by Sphilip1(op): 12:48pm On Jan 29, 2016
Source: www.techkibay.com


If you use a padlock on a regular basis — at the gym or locking up your bike — then you'll know the annoyance of misplacing your key or forgetting your combination. (It's stupid but it happens.)


Canadian tech firm Pishon Lab wants to solve this by kitting out padlocks with a security measure that's become almost essential on smartphones: the fingerprint sensor. The company has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for its fingerprint-secured TappLock padlock, which Pishon claims is "the ultimate in security and convenience."


The TappLock comes in two variations: a beefy version with a three-year battery life that doubles up as a portable phone charger, and a smaller version, the TappLock Lite, which only has a six-month battery life and can't charge your phone. You set the padlock up with the help of a smartphone app (available on iOS, Android, and Windows), with Pishon claiming that the TappLock unlocks in just 0.8 seconds. The app also allows you to unlock your padlock using your phone and share entry with other users — either on request or during pre-defined windows of time.

Lots of investigations have been carried out by the United State Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC).

Due to the frequent hover board explosions, warning have been sent to all hover board owners to ensure that there is a nearby fire extinguisher while charging.

All hover board that are made and imported into the United State is being investigated currently.
It is important for all hover board to have safety feature for its lithium-ion batteries.

Hover boards should have basic safety technologies that are supposed to prevent combustion and overheating in them.

It is the same basic safety technology that is present in properly manufactured lithium-ion batteries.
Similar safety technology is used in manufacturing the lithium-ions batteries present in our everyday cellphones as well as notebook computers. That’s why our cell phones do not explode or combust.

PhonesHow To Operate Your Phone With Gloves (useful Trick) by Sphilip1(op): 9:32am On Jan 26, 2016
Source: www.techkibay.com


There is nothing worse than having to take off your gloves to use a smartphone in the cold.


Maybe you're lucky enough to have a pair of touchscreen friendly gloves that are also warm and comfortable.


The modern touchscreens work by picking up electrical current that runs through your fingers when you touch them, so all you have to do to make gloves touchscreen friendly is make sure the flow can still get through. The easiest way?

As HousholdHacker explains, just thread through a little metallic thread. It takes five minutes at most.


Never fumble to rip off your gloves when you want to pick up another call again!

Science/TechnologyWhy People Unfriend, Block Or Unfollow You On Facebook by Sphilip1(op): 6:25pm On Jan 24, 2016
Source: www.techkibay.com


Certain Facebook users make sure their friends list is trimmed
and such type of people are ready to remove you when ever
you violate their “personal terms of use”. Based on our interactions with certain individuals, these are the top reasons people will unfriend you on Facebook:


1. Tagging Friends Unnecessarily in Status Updates &
Photos


This is one of the most annoying thing people do on Facebook.
To be sincere, you do not have to tag your friends in every status updates you post. Unless it’s very important or you are relating the post to them, when you do this in excess, it becomes annoying and will make people unfriend you.


Populating people's photo albums with your tagged pictures isn’t a good idea unless it’s a picture you took together. Tagging people in pictures originally meant that you took that picture with that particular person but this feature is being abused daily.


2. Sharing Indecent Updates
If you know what it feels like to open your Facebook news feed
only to be welcomed with a NSFW picture and you have a friend beside you looking at your phone, perhaps you’ll have a better understanding of what I’m driving at here. It can be very
embarrassing.


There are certain things you shouldn't share on Facebook but
some people don’t know this; they just keep share anything from adult content. You won’t think twice to remove this kind of people, you know?

PhonesDoes Your 'pinky' Look Bent? Blame Your Smartphone by Sphilip1(op): 1:35pm On Jan 24, 2016
Shared by: www.techkibay.com
Have you noticed that your fingers are turning 'Pinky' lately as you are busy chatting and texting on smartphone?

If yes then you are not alone. "Smartphone Pinky" - a perceived bend in the little finger on one's dominant hand - may occur is people who use the device for at least six hours a day, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

"Although the chances of a person permanently bending their finger through smartphone use are 'pretty slim', it would take a minimum of around six hours a day of an applied force on soft tissue to evoke change," Dave Parsons, clinical fellow at Curtin University in Australia, was quoted as saying.

The bend is purported to have been caused by the weight of holding a smartphone with one's smallest finger at its base (while the other fingers support the phone along its longer side).

PhonesMicrosoft Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM Review by Sphilip1(op): 12:43pm On Jan 24, 2016
Shared by: www.techkibay.com
Microsoft debuted its Windows 10 Mobile OS with the launch of two Lumia devices in India late last month.

The company is going with a top- down approach by first introducing the best it has to offer with the Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM and Lumia 950 Dual SIM and follow that up with more affordable variants across different price segments.

More than the devices though, Microsoft's real aim is to showcase its newest Windows 10 Mobile OS, which it hopes will resonate with consumers who are (hopefully) already using Windows 10 on their desktops and ultimately, coax developers into making more universal apps for the platform.

(Also see:Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL - www.techkibay.com)

Today, we'll be taking a closer look at how this platform as evolved in its third attempt with the Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM. This phone is the Nexus 6P (Review | Pictures) or the iPhone 6S Plus of the Windows world and serves as a template for hardware partners to model their own creations on. Priced at par with the top-end Android offerings, let's see if Microsoft's finally able to crack the balance between top- of-the-line hardware and functional software.

The search giant in an emailed statement on Friday said that it will expand the free public Wi-Fi network to 100 of the busiest railway stations in India by the end of this year, and eventually expand to 400 railway stations. Next in line are stations in Allahabad, Patna, Jaipur, and Ranchi.

"Even with just the first 100 stations online, this project will make Wi-Fi available to millions of Indians - who pass through railway stations every day, making it the largest public Wi-Fi project in India and among the largest in the world by number of potential users," the statement added.

Nairaland GeneralFacebook's Sports Stadium Steals A Page From Apple Playbook by Sphilip1(op): 12:20pm On Jan 24, 2016
Shared by: www.techkibay.com
When Facebook announced a foray into sports, the question on everyone's mind was, Hey, didn't Twitter do that first? But Facebook is simply borrowing ideas from competitors -- a time-honored tradition espoused by none other than the late Steve Jobs.
Facebook's Sports Stadium is launching first on iPhones, with expansion promised to other platforms in the coming weeks.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Twitter should be glowing with pride.
It should be, but perhaps the company is nervous instead. That's because the imitator is Facebook, Twitter's biggest rival in the war for your social-media attention.
Facebook on Wednesday announced a new feature to help the more than 1 billion people who use its service every day follow sports games live. You can track the game with friends, and the feature encourages you to discuss stats, plays and everything else from anywhere around the globe. It's called Sports Stadium, and it arrives just in time for Super Bowl 50, set for February 7.
But longtime tech watchers said Facebook's newest feature should have a different name: Sports Twitter.
The perennial second-banana to Facebook, Twitter is a darling of the tech and media worlds, but one that's struggled to meaningfully expand its social-networking site . It's about a fifth the size of Facebook in terms of people who use it regularly. Now one of Twitter's most promising features, people talking about sports in real time, may be undercut by Facebook's Sports stadium.
Let the games begin. Whenever there's a big event, Twitter lights up with commentary, links and photos from people watching in real time. Twitter has at times helped to encourage this by creating quick links people can tap on to find the conversation. Or it'll highlight tweets through its Moments news feature or company-run account, @TwitterSports, which is followed by more than 12 million people. Sports fan are, well, fanatics, and the thinking is that people who care about sports are more likely to want to talk, or tweet, about them.
A good move on Twitter's part, but now Facebook has shown that anything Twitter can do, it can do too. The question is, can Facebook do it better? Or does that even matter?
Let's face it: If we had to declare a winner in the war for social-networking supremacy, it'd be Facebook. More than half the world's online population is using the service. It's already the world's top place to post photos, and plenty of people are sharing political opinions there ahead of the US presidential election. More and more people are also checking in during disasters and terrorist attacks to let friends know they're safe.
