Installing Lubuntu
I’m installing Lubuntu 12.04 LTS on my cousin’s laptop. I must say im kinda impressed by the installer.
It offered to import the Windows XP accounts. This includes the documents, IE and Firefox bookmarks. Still haven’t finished installation. Seems to be awesome 🙂
Have you used GPS on your Mobile Phone?
I did 😀
We were going camping at Perebere to a place i’m totally unfamiliar. I located the place on my Google Maps and pre-cached the area before leaving home as Internet won’t be available there.
Once this is done, i could find my location wherever i was during the travel on the map. I took the screenshot below when i was at Port-Louis going to Immigration square
Using this method, we managed to go to the camping at night to a location we were totally unfamiliar. 😀
Well, I can say I am more than satisfied with my cheap Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300. 😛
My Android vibrates every 5 secs
As soon as i finished sending a 720p .mkv movie sample on my Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300, my phone was vibrating every 5 secs.
When i deleted the file, it stopped vibrating. I guess it’s a bug in Android.
And the file plays in MX Player. It also recognized the subtitle. However the movie was laggy a lot. You definitely CANNOT watch a movie like this.
My First Android phone: Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300
It all happened suddenly. My dad joined us at Bagatelle and we decided to buy a phone. I had very little time to reflect. The 3 candidates i found the most alright were:-
Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 @ Rs 4500
Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 @ Rs 4900
Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 @ Rs 6000
I was initially going to buy the Galaxy Y Duos because of it’s camera being 3.15MP and it had the largest screen of all.
However the internal storage is very less compared to the Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 which has 3GB internal memory. This matters a lot to me as internal storage is faster. It would allow my apps to run more smoothly and hence have a more awesome Android experience 🙂
All the three phones have the same processor and other internal specs. I finally opted for the cheapest phone i.e. Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300 which i find is awesome 😉
It has almost everything a high-end mobile has:-
– Capacitive touch screen
– 830 mhz CPU which is quite good for a low-end phone.
– GPS with google maps (accurate to 3m) 😛
and much more.
Conclusion
I am more than satisfied with this mobile phone as my first Android phone. I’ll be posting tiny reviews about the individual features Insha Allah 🙂
