Xiaomi Redmi 1S showing Loading launcher while pressing home screen

Image
Issue: From last 3-4 days I am getting this while pressing home screen ( it happens only after using an app for long time ie like while playing a game for more than 15 -20 minutes or using uc mini for same time span.) Is there any problem ?? ( I am using v36) Solution: Method 1 - In settings tick the option "keep launcher in memory". This will solve the issue. If you don't select this option, app you are running may need more RAM and OS will de-allocate from the launcher and allocate to the app. De-allocate means closing the launcher, just like closing apps. So once you press home button, launcher needs to start again. It takes time to load into RAM as there will be apps consuming RAM space.  Method 2 - Update to v45. In v45, memory management issue has been resolved. Don't update to v50, as it has same problem. Several users who used v50 downgraded to v45 due to RAM issues.  Method 3 - Install CM11 ROM . This ROM is widely accepted to be a st

Now 24GB RAM laptop are available for consumers

24GB RAM laptop - I usually visit shopping sites to check if there is any new and impressive products available. I am currently hunting for laptops as I will replace my old one anytime soon. After using high config desktop in my office (8GB RAM, Core i7) and love to have my next laptop with such configuration. Why I need 24GB RAM? Isn't 2GB enough for home use? This is a common question that arises when we are looking for a new laptop. I if remember correctly, 4 years back laptop with 1.5GB RAM were considered as high end. This is maximum Intel Pentium 4 supports. So if you are gamer then you need to add graphics card which makes your computer a monster machine. However in those periods, installation size of games will be maximum 6GB (GTA San Andreas) but now it is more than 10GB(Far Cry 4). The minimum requirements of GTA San Andreas was 256 MB RAM and 3.6 GB storage; for Far Cry 4 it was 4 GB RAM and 30 GB storage. 2GB Laptops It is limited to legacy games like GTA San Andre

Finally got Zenfone 5 one hand mode in Zenfone 4

Image
One Hand Mode: Zenfone 5 launched a new feature in their phone - One Hand Mode. With this mode the whole display size gets reduced that makes easier to use One Hand Mode. For example - Zenfone 5 resolution is 720 x 1280 and it will get reduced to 480x800 pixel. Get One Hand Mode in Zenfone 4: It is possible to get Zenfone 5 One Hand Mode in Zenfone 4. I am rooted and I have just downloaded the permissions zip from Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 6 and just brought them together and replaced permissions zip in Zenfone 4. Is it useful? No, it is not convienient as the screen size still get reduced. I feel 4.7 inch is the perfect size to use in single hand. The 4 inch display is smaller by default. This feature will make it worse by reducing the size. Don't go for it.

Can't able to close Story Maker app in BlackBerry Z3

Image
Not able to minimize/close BlackBerry Z3: Story Maker app is default app that comes with BlackBerry Z3 . To minimize any apps we swipe from bottom of BlackBerry logo and up towards the display. This works great for any app that is in vertical orientation. Story Maker app that is present pre-installed, opens in horizontal orientation. There is no vertical orientation mode for this app. I usually feel difficulty minimizing any apps that open with horizontal orientation. I won't get minimized in single attempt. Lately I figured out a easy method to minimize this app. Solution for minimize Story Maker app in Z3: The solution pretty simple. By default the mute button is assigned for voice control. Any time you press mute button it will launch the voice control screen. If you don't know mute button, it is nothing but the button in middle of volume rockers. Still not able to spot then see the below image. Small BlackButton between volume key is Mute Button Long press mute b

BlackBerry introduces Android app store in BlackBerry 10.3.1

Image
BlackBerry started to support Android apps right from BlackBerry 10 OS. However you need to manually do direct download apk file from official website or 3rd party website to install and run Android app. Obviously, this is not the way premium user want to run the app in their phone. I knew BlackBerry would address the issue very soon and they have done it in BlackBerry 10.3. 1. Apps can be downloaded from Amazon Store + BlackBerry World BlackBerry added promising features in their new update. The UI is totally renewed and major improvements were made to voice assistant and app store. In BlackBerry 10.2 version there was an option to sideload the Amazon app store. But many don't prefer to do so because of potential security risk. Also the developer community of BlackBerry is very less when compared to Android creates hesitation to sideload apps. Introduction of Amazon app store doesn't mean say bye, bye to BlackBerry World. You still have BlackBerry World in your phone
