iPad 3: Collect all the rumors!

Do not miss her presentation of the new tablet of Cupertino. Let us see how the world will imagine the 'iPad 3.

We know that the intensity of media coverage around the iPhone 4s did not do well with the new Apple smartphone, too many expectations have left behind him a lot of disappointment.

We try to avoid the same mistake with the iPad 3, but it's hard not to dream. Flying low is expected to a simple technical upgrade.

Firstly ,the photo department:

• 8-megapixel back camera
• 1080p Video
• HD Front camera for a decent FaceTime even with the tablet

Not too much effort for short, Apple should simply import the plant photo of 4s.
It was an improvement should also be up to the screen that should reach a higher resolution display with the Retina but not oversized, maintaining its about 9 inches in size, making life easier for users and developers.

If these characteristics are given almost certain to remain big question marks on which it's nice to fantasize:

• Processor: at last we will see the new A6 quad-core which is seen among some trace codes of IOS 5.1?
• Sensor: we know the megapixels are not the only factor that makes a camera more beautiful, but the sensor is critical, who knows that the larger the tablet allow a larger sensor that will impress most.
• Thickness: more and more insistent voices they think of a millimeter longer just for new members but could also radically change the design.
• Name: who said he will call iPad3? If improvements were to be counted maybe you will opt for an iPad 2s.

Problems updating Android 2.3.6 for Samsung Galaxy S2: how to fix?

The update to Android2.3.6 for the no-brand has been available for all terminals yesterday, Samsung Galaxy S 2. Unfortunately, according to what we read about, this update seems to bring problems to the WiFi, Bluetooth, inability to switch off the device, inability to access the settings of connectivity, excessive overheating, several blocks of the system and much more. The odd thing, though, is that not everyone has these problems. The reason? It seems that the terminals Galaxy S2 with HW 1200 will have problems once updated: only those with HW 1300, however, will have all the problems described above.

The 1200 hardware update without problems, the hw 1300 we planted! Verify that HW version you have with *#*#197328640#*#* and going Version Info -> HW Version -> Read HW Version. I hope to be useful!

Wifi Ubuntu slow? Here's the solution!

A couple of days my Linux distribution Ubuntu gave me some hassle with the wifi being too slow.

So I squeezed a little in front of the terminal and I found the solution to the problem.

The problem is the power saving mode that Ubuntu requires wifi cards or keys, blocking happens on some devices, so yes there is the energy savings but do not be so much more to go.

Solution:

To determine the problem I did this:

iwconfig

It seems to me this:

pclinux@pclinux-desktop:~$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:”Sitecomxxxxx” 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:0x:xx:xx:xx:xx 
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm  
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=69/70  Signal level=-41 dBm 
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Reading the Line Power Management on a beautiful read.

So now we have to turn off with:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

If you notice that the speed increases, and then you definitely want to configure it:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

It opens the text editor and you have to insert the line

iwconfig wlan0 power off

before exit 0. Then save and exit. The next restart PC everything works properly.
