Flipkart is going to launch new model from Xiaomi on September 2 at 2 PM. It is the priced at Rs.5,999, a offer you can't deny. So we can't expect more traffic for this mobile than Xiaomi Mi 3.  If you haven't heard about this mobile let me tell you how the sales happen. If you are planning to buy this mobile, first you need to register in Flipkart. You will find the time and sale date in the same registration page. So you need to login on the mentioned date and exact time to buy the mobile. On previous sale the mobile went out of stock in 2 seconds .

If you feel insecure to save card details then delete the card detail once the purchase is made.  You can edit your account details from the...

My Nokia Lumia 720 screen got damaged, what will be the cost to replace?

My Nokia Lumia 720 screen is damaged. I went to Nokia care to change my screen. I asked about the price. The cost he told is Rs.7100. I told him my touch is working fine and I need only the screen. But he told the whole thing come as a set and it will cost Rs.7100. I was suspicious about the price first and to confirm it I approached online forums. One guy replied that he changed it for Rs.7500. Then I approached to local shops. They quoted Rs.1500 to Rs.2500. It seems relatively cheap from the original. I heard that the duplicate touch is not as good as original. I already have experience with duplicate touch screen which I friend replaced in Lumia 520. The touch was not very responsive like the original. However you can manage using it. I was now using my Android phone. I was not ready to pay either RS.7500 or RS.2500 just for screen. I think instead I can buy new phone and going to use Lumia 720 as a external drive.

Do I need to buy power bank based on my battery?

It is not necessary that power bank mAh should be higher than your phone's mAh. Suppose your phone's battery has 1500 mAh and you can buy 1200 mAh. This power bank (1200 mAh) can charge 50 to 75 percent of your battery (1500 mAh). The mAh is unit used to measure the battery power. How many times I can charge my phone using power bank? Suppose if your battery charge goes down to 0 percent and your are using power bank to charge your battery, if the can use power bank has more mAh it can able to deliver two to three of charge to your phone. It cannot be calculated exactly. But I found a formula in Facebook to calculate the how many times power bank can charge battery. It is, Real Capacity * Conversion Rate * Phone Battery Health / 1500 Where, Conversion Rate is remaining percentage in your battery. Phone battery health is draining rate in your phone.

By default Android 4.4 aka KitKat unfortunately does not support Flash Player. This flash player  is very useful for browsing the web.

Launchers for Android Wear watch

Image
The below launchers will be compatible with LG G watch, Moto 360 and Samsung Gear Live. However I tested in my LG G watch. Swipify It is launcher for Android wear developed by  Sweet Pixel Studios. The new Swipify application offers four new features: App Drawer, App Switcher(multi-tasking), RAM meter and application launcher. It is still in the beta stage and it may look incomplete. It will take some time to evolve as a fully functional app. WML (Wear My Launcher) It is another excellent launcher an alternative to Wear Mini Launcher. This launcher is developed by ProCo Apps. The developer is fond of Android Wear which made them to develop and launch WML launcher on Google Play store. The UI of this app feels more likely as Google Now. With this launcher user can adjust the brightness of the watch. There is special lock which can be  unlockable only through a special action. Using this feature you can avoid children accidentally using the watch.
