Micromax Launched - WIN [ W092 & W121 ] two windows OS Gadgets

Micromax has launched its first set of Windows Phone-based smartphones - Canvas Win W092 and Canvas Win W121 - in India. Both are budget phones, with the former priced at Rs 6,500, while the latter will come for Rs 9,500. The Canvas Win W092 is believed to be the cheapset Windows Phone smartphone in India.

Both smartphones run Windows Phone 8.1 OS and use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. The Micromax Canvas Win W092 and Wi122 are dual-SIM phones and have 1 GB of RAM.

The Micromax Canvas Win W092 has a 4-inch screen and 1500mAh battery; it carries a price tag of Rs 6,500. The Canvas Win W121, on the other hand, features a 5-inch display, an 8 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera. Priced at Rs 9,500, the Win W121 has 8GB of internal memory, which is expandable up to 32GB.

The Micromax Canvas Win 121 is also powered by the same Snapdragon 200 chip, but relies on a bigger 5" IPS display of 720p resolution and has an 8MP rear camera, a 2MP front snapper, and 8GB expandable storage. It will also launch in July and will set you back Rs 9.500 (€115).

Micromax is planning to release even more Windows Phone smartphones. In fact, another one is supposedly already in the works and we'll see it official later this year.

Having launched its Windows Phone smartphones today, Micromax has become the first Indian brand to offer Windows phones.

Microsoft announced its partnership with India's homegrown handset maker Micromax at Microsoft's BUILD conference in San Francisco in April. This move is expected to intensify competition in the smartphone and tablets space.

The software giant has already announced that it will offer its Windows OS free to smartphone and tablet makers, a move that will help the firm compete with Google's Android and Apple's iOS in the fiercely competitive smart devices market. After Micromax, we can now expect more Windows Phone devices from other Indian brands in future

How to Remove Windows 8.1 Store Apps with PowerShell (when they won’t go quietly).

Here’s an issue that I’ve only experienced once myself, but that anecdotal evidence says may not be a completely uncommon occurrence for some users.

You install an app from the Windows Store that either doesn’t install correctly (most likely due to an issue from the developer) or you decide that isn’t really your cup of tea.

You open the Start menu and try to Uninstall the app normally, by right-clicking the app tile and then selecting Uninstall from the context menu below.

I’m using the really wonderful app Network Speed Test for this example ( I personally love this app, and have never had issue with uninstalling it, but again this is just for example).

Now in my experience the app that wouldn’t uninstall had no reaction to my clicking the Uninstall button. I didn’t get an error message, the app just didn’t uninstall.

The next step was to open up PowerShell and ‘get under the hood’ so to speak.  Open up Windows PowerShell as an Administrator.

At the PowerShell command prompt type ‘Get-appxpackage’ and hit enter.

The list of installed applications will scroll past.  You’ll need to scroll back thru them to find the application you can’t remove.

Alternatively you can type ‘Get-appxpackage –Name *some portion of the name*’ to find your app package.

In the above example I typed ‘Get-appxpackage –Name *speed* to find the package for Microsoft.NetworkSpeedTest

From this same output we also get the PackageFullName which will use to remove the package.

Now type ‘remove-appxpackage’ with the full package name.  In my example I typed ‘remove-appxpackage Microsoft.NetworkSpeedTest_1.0.0.23_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe –confirm’

The –confirm switch gives you a nice prompt to let you verify what you are doing before you commit.  Hitting ‘Y’ the default proceeds with the Uninstall.

And now the pesky app is uninstalled (though in my test case I’ll be re-installing that app immediately). " yeah it's a copyied post .. but i thought that that it as useful .. and i want to use it frequently so i posted here "

Download Beta VLC Player for Winodws - 8 & Windows 8 RT

VLC now available for Windows 8 one of the best multimedia players has finally come to Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT. A few hours ago that they have posted on the official blog announcing a beta version, but perfectly functional.

VLC for Windows 8 development has been paid thanks to a round of funding on Kickstarter that got nearly $80,000. The application is tailored to the interface ModernUI that characterized the new generation of Windows and can be downloaded directly from the app store.

The usual VLC in other systems notice less fluid than usual operation and some minor problems to work with subtitles, while taking into account that we are talking about a beta, developers work is more than notable. A year later, Windows 8 users can now enjoy great VLC. this is given in VLC's one of the blogpost

Today, the first Beta of VLC for WinRT is getting deployed on the store.

As many of you know, the road to come to this point has been long... Very long.

I've been driving or helping some ports of VLC on mobile, but this port has been the hardest, by an order of magnitude.

I'll speak a bit more about the lateness of this port, another time. Today, I'll introduce a bit to this application.

Features

This application, version 0.2.0, is a BETA stage of the port of libVLC on WinRT. WinRT is the runtime of Windows 8/8.1 Metro/ModernUI, Windows Phone 8 and Xbox 1.

As this is a beta, some features are still not perfectly stable, but we are working on that. We thought we should share it with the users, so that people could test and help us.

This application:

• works on Windows 8.0 and 8.1: too many people are still on 8.0, so we had to use that. This decreases the stability of the application, though...
• is compiled for Intel x86 CPUs: Windows RT version will follow as soon as we are able to compile it. ARM version will also apply to Windows Phone.
• plays all video and audio formats of VLC, including MKV, Ogg and Mov files or FLAC and MPC;
• supports the same codecs as the VLC application for desktop, from MPEG-1 to H.265, through WMV3 and VC-1;
• supports multiple-audio tracks selection;
• supports embedded subtitles;
• supports Background Audio playback;
• features a easy-to-navigate but complete UI, notably for audio browsing;
• supports Live Tiles!
• supports removable storage and DLNA servers.

However, there are a few limitations:

• This app is currently slow, and is slower than VLC for desktop for video decoding and has no hardware acceleration;
• Subtitles support is not very good yet, and notably it only supports embedded subtitles; this is our major point of focus for now.
• Audio does not seem to work in all configurations;
• Playlists and streams are not supported in the UI (they are present in the core)
• It's clearly not as stable as it should be.

We are working on all those points, but notably on subtitles and audio quality and stability. Since we now have a release, it will be easier to do releases quite often, as soon as we can.

We also have longer terms goal to work on, and we'll share them when we know more 

We hope you like this application, and if you don't, we'll fix that soon

Windows 9 rumors about to launch amd it's price issue to ... i am not pretending this is true . but it was also one of rummer like i posted about haswell and PRISM

Rumors about Windows 9 come and go, but today we echo of an information from Paul Thurott, a source of confidence that ensures that Windows 9 "Treshold" will be announced in April of this year, being the Microsoft Conference BUILD the chosen scenario.

This new version of the well-known Microsoft operating system will bring significant improvements with respect to Windows 8, among which we can name "truth" lap of the button home and changes on the interface.

On the other hand the Redmond also were immersed in the development of a unique platform on which to converge Windows Phone and Windows RT, as well as an app store unified for Xbox, Windows Phone and Windows.

Could be the final name of this new version of Microsoft's operating system Windows 9? Everything seems to point to that, and that with that name the Redmond giant would want to move away from the bad reviews given to Windows 8 and avoid, therefore, which may adversely affect its sales.

In short, Microsoft committed to a unification of platforms and application store, where will

Windows 9 could be the first operating system Microsoft offered free of charge, at least for OEM original equipment manufacturers.

The first details of Windows 9 are already appearing in the network and while media and users discuss changes in the interface as the return menu home, development options with the possible unification of Windows 8, Windows Phone and Windows RT, or launch date, Microsoft have another issue on the table for discussion: the price.

Price to be reduced from the current $40 a OEM license to 10-30 dollars in concessions that are only the beginning toward the total free, according to analysts:

"Today, when the global operating system market is observed (mobile / Tablet / PC), Microsoft is the only provider that charges explicitly by the operating system." We believe that this could prove unsustainable in the coming years, which will force Microsoft to lower the price of the system and obtain economic benefits for use/support through various methods, depending on the final customer. We believe that this is the biggest new challenge CEO of Microsoft will face in the coming years."

"In the medium and long term, we believe that Microsoft will be forced to follow Apple and Google and give away the operating system, especially in the consumer market, and use services like Bing, Skype, Office 365, etc, as primary monetization engine."

Total free Windows? Like? Supporting its forecast, the analyst makes reference to some aspects that have happened the last year and which can force total free Windows such as the arrival of Google on the PC with the operating system Chrome OS cloud; to the fact that Apple is not charged for the latest versions of Mac OS X; to boost computing in the hands of mobile systems with Android and iOS at the head or the arrival to the market of computers with dual operating system Windows-Android. A WinDroid promoted even by the main ally of Microsoft in the last two decades: Intel.

What do you think? Is it free Windows 9?

Opens MSE, configuration, change the date and time by default for analysis by other know that you will have the computer on (e.g. at lunchtime or before starting work).

Without leaving tab configuration, it limits the CPU usage value to a maximum of 10%. The analysis will take a little more to complete but you can continue using your usual applications without losing so much performance.

You can access the Windows Task Manager and locate process msseces.exe. By clicking with the right button you can assign a lower priority, leaving more resources for the rest of your system uses.

Disables the sending of reports with MAPS marking the option do not wish to join MAPS. In certain scenarios it may cause application crashes or a running slower than expected when it is not possible to send the report.

It excludes some locations to accelerate the analysis, such as additional hard drives for backups or folders where you store multimedia content. It is important that you assume that those directories will not be scanned or will be protected with the detection engine in real time.

Occasionally some applications can create conflicts with the antivirus. Check the configuration of your P2P software and, of course, never install more than one antivirus on the same computer.

How to use the Windows 8, Windows Defender anti-virus program and it's small info details

Tips, tricks and configuration to have safe equipment using the Windows 8, the version of Microsoft Security Essentials anti-malware program. How to create shortcuts and buttons for easy access to the program, update and revise files or folders.

In Windows 8, it is not necessary to install a virus on the computer.
It is the first version of Windows that includes an application antivirus and anti-malware, called Windows Defender, but truly it is Microsoft Security Essentials, an application that you can download free to install it on versions such as Windows 7 or XP.
Essentials or defend as opposed to many other antivirus is fast, lightweight, and efficient without detrimental performance or the performance of the system.
It is not perfect, but it is a good choice and prevents us from having to install additional software on your computer, however is our decision to use any other antivirus in addition.

As does Windows Defender?

Windows Defender runs in the background (background) without having need for any manual action.
Includes real-time protection or that the program constantly monitors all activity on the system.
To open a folder in the Explorer program reviews its content previously.
In the case of folders with many files, if we notice any delay is due to the antivirus that will not display it until not complete its review.

It is also possible to schedule regular check-ups.
The program checks the compressed files.

Recommended configuration of Windows Defender

There are just a few the settings that we need to review to ensure we have our team with optimum protection.
You start the program and open the "Settings" tab.

It is also possible to copy files from a computer to another.

How to check files, folders and USB devices with Windows Defender?

Although Windows Defender runs automatically and always displays notifications to detect any problem, any file, folder or device connected to the computer by hand, can be reviewed manually to be convinced that there is no danger.
For that in the main window of the program mark the checkbox "Custom" in exam options and press the button "Review now".

Any operation that we need to do with the antivirus either review a file, do a test on the computer, the application update or revise history, must inevitably open control Panel previously.
Although you can create a shortcut on the desktop or in the start screen the ideal is to add the main program options to the context menu.

Microsoft has just introduced the second generation of electronic tablets marketed under its own brand, with two models on sale according to architecture, 2 Surface and Surface Pro 2, accompanied by a good number of new accessories to complement in New York.

I was singing and the event programmed by Microsoft was intended for the presentation of its new electronic Tablet Surface 2, improved in various aspects of hardware and software updated with the 'Blue' treatment or what is the same, with the update Windows 8.1 RT and Pro versions respectively.

Few news can tell you because almost all the forecasts that we spoke of this morning have been met. There will be Mini Surface (for now) and if two models with different ARM architecture and x 86 which come to renew the current Surface RT and Surface Pro and that you list your main specifications: (Surface 2)

Display: Multi-touch IPS 10.6 inches - resolution 1920 x 1080 pixelsProcessor: SoC Tegra 4 1.7 GHz NVIDIARAM: 2 GBStorage: 32/64 GBConnectivity: Wi-Fi, BT 4.0, USB 3.0, MicroSDXC, GPSCameras: Front 3.5 MP and rear 5 MP with 1080 p video recordingSensors: Accelerometer, gyroscopeAutonomy: 10 hours of video playbackOS: Windows 8.1 RT

The future of Windows Phone, should fear Android and iOS?

Currently, maximum mobile platforms rivalry occurs between iOS and Android, and although the second dominates in market share, the first dominates in revenue, so the competition continues without a clear winner, everything will depend on their strategies. But while the battle being waged up in your revenue and market share, slightly below the pyramid comes Windows Phone to safe passage and with strong growth. What seems ridiculous for some months ago, is now something that Google and Apple should take seriously, because this way it does not lack too much for Windows Phone is at the height of iOS and Android.

If we compare the figures of Microsoft, Windows Phone had only between 1 and 2% of market share in some markets last year, but have now reached up to 10, 15 or 20% in some part of the world, and in the United States its share accounts for 5%. This means a resurgence almost from the ashes for Windows Phone.

Last year would have been difficult to believe that Windows Phone could represent a risk for iOS and Android, but the numbers do not lie: the growth of Windows Phone is imminent in emerging markets. And it is precisely in developing markets where there is more possibility of growth, as developed markets are already near saturation.

Given this, it is in fact Google who should be more worried than Apple accelerated growth of Windows Phone. Yes, iOS has less market share than Android, but is partly that the Cupertino just move into the high-end segment of smartphones. The great bulk of the smart mobile is of middle and low range, and is where Android rules so far. But there is a possibility that this will change if Windows Phone grows more.



Why can Windows Phone succeed in the low range?

Unfortunately for Google, Android has been built so that its resource consumption requires large amount of hardware to run properly. It is not for nothing that the Samsung Galaxy to use up to 8 cores and the rest of the high range currently have at least 4 cores of processing, 2 GB of RAM, and large batteries. This is a measure to make the Android experience enjoyable for the user, but also makes significantly more expensive devices.

On the other hand, the Microsoft Mobile operating system can run smoothly with more modest hardware requirements. The 520 Lumia, for example, has a dual core processor at 1 Ghz and 512 MB of RAM, and with it Windows Phone 8 and many good quality graphics games run perfectly, without delays in the touch gestures or reboots or frozen screens. This is the weak point of Android.

Android so far had maintained the dominance of the low range, because competition was virtually among manufacturers that they only used Android, but we have seen great thrust of Nokia devices of low ranges and media even tend to medium and high for a comparable price or lower than other Android that do not have such a good performance.

Apple may lose some market share, but the scope of the high range is limited, and hence each who can have their slice of the pie without lawsuits. Android, iOS and Windows Phone, in a way everyone will have fans who buy high-end equipment and its market does not necessarily decrease significantly.

Google is aware of the problem with Windows Phone

While the growth of Windows Phone has been great, there is a great constraint for the next step: the suit of Google applications. And it is that they have become an important tool for productive life and leisure of people, which are an essential part of the decision to purchase of a smartphone.

It is not for nothing that Google so far has not offered its Windows Phone applications. The Mountain View company is aware that Windows Phone could represent a strong competition for its low-end equipment and has so far refused to provide Windows Phone applications such as Chrome, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Drive, Gmail and others, that only would improve the image of Windows Phone to consumers.

In fact the company gave that they would create Google applications for Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 if the number of users of them grows, but it will be for these difficult to take the next step without the Google suite. However, we have seen that Microsoft and Nokia have no fear of attack directly to iOS and Android in their latest commercial.

The cost of Android and Windows Phone for manufacturers

Although Google provides Android freely to manufacturers, their set of core applications is not treated in the same way. In addition, manufacturers have to pay for the use of certain patents to Microsoft. In counterpart, Google also shares with gains of Google Play manufacturers, which helps ensure that its terminals are cheaper and at the same time avoids that they believe their own app stores.

By the side of Windows Phone, the problem is that Microsoft charges for each license by device between 20 and 30 dollars, something that slows down the possibility of growth or better prices. Nokia, for its part, gets certain reimbursements to the end because of its exclusivity with the platform, but is not case for HTC or Samsung, however, equipped with a poor supply and lack of commitment to Windows Phone.

It is here where Microsoft could leverage to promote the growth of Windows Phone again. Through the reduction or elimination of the cost of their licenses, could put pressure on manufacturers to seek a new strategy that combines perhaps Android and Windows Phone in different devices. With extra support, Microsoft platform could become a third position while the largest and eating part of the iOS and Android market share. 

Windows Phone growth comes from several sources, and if Microsoft knows to properly move your chips, could soon be irreversible leap toward greatness.
