Is Galaxy S5 Fully Set To Compete With The Iphone 5S?

The iPhone 5S and Galaxy S5 are the two hyped, popular on demand smartphones in the market. The undying combat between the iOS and Android still continues and they are sure to be rivals for long. Whatever it is the, iPhone is all set to compete with the latest, yet to be released Galaxy S5.

Let’s look at the basic comparison between the both giant rivals.

Fingerprint Sensor

The Galaxy S5 sensor seems to be difficult to use with one hand. To access it, the user must swipe directly over the center of the button and cover it with their full finger. The user has to swipe starting from the bottom which is kind of effort involving and this makes it tough to use with one hand.  At the same time the iPhone 5s provides access to multiple scans of the user's finger and can be accessed from almost all angles. This makes the option of Fingerprint Sensor of iPhone 5s much easier compared to Galaxy S5

SoC and RAM:

Albeit it is not much possible to know every small detail hardware working of a smartphone, still it is always good to know why a gadget clicks.The Galaxy S5 implements the new Snapdragon 801 processor and also uses MSM8974-AC CPU variant, which boasts frequencies of 2.5GHz in place of 2.3 GHz.  On the other side, the processor also holds an Adreno 330 graphics chip and 2 GB of RAM.

On the opposite, the iPhone end, it adopts a 64-bit architecture. The Apple A7 SoC accompanies a dual-core Cyclone CPU clocked at 1.3 GHz, and a Power G6430 GPU. The SoC works side-by-side with 1 GB of RAM.

Because both uses different Operating systems... we cannot compare just by processing speeds as S5 uses Android (which is resource hungry) and 5S uses IOS 7(which is less resource hungry and uses an optimized SoC)

Display

Talking about display, Samsung chose a wider display and Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED Full High Definition. Also to add, Samsung uses AMOLED type display which has more saturated colors. On the other hand Phone 5s features a 4-inch display with 1136 x 640 resolutions at 326 ppi, which is still a stronger display for the iPhone. The Galaxy S5 is sure to lure the eyes of the user but when it comes to iPhone 5S, no innovations discovered.

Size

8.1 mm, the Galaxy S5 is thicker than the 4” iPhone 5s, larger and heavier and clumsy which makes it unable to use in single hand. The Plastic built Samsung Display introduces perforated back refrain, which is available in four colors, including a golden version.Apple handset also comes in golden variant, but the iPhone is shaped in a quite a different way, witha premium metal and glass materials for the frames.

Speed

A7 chip with 64-bit architecture makes iPhone 5s features Apple's it an extremely unique device. It is the first smartphone in 64 bits. Apple's devices normally perform smoother and better than the Galaxy S handsets since the company manages to perfectly manage software with the hardware better. The Galaxy S5 comes with either a Snapdragon 801 chip or 2.1GHz Exynosocta-core processor. Though the hardware seems inspiring, Samsung processors normally perform better than they actually run.

Summary

In conclusion we can say that Samsung has adapted a lot of lot ideas from Apple, rather than being innovative. Both these smartphones are not one step ahead of each other. To know more, let’s wait for the new Galaxy Samsung S5 to hit the market soon. Apart from all the above mentioned comparisons, users have a great role in increasing the demand of a product. Users will have a personal interest and like towards a specific company and its products to which they are used to. This can eventually answer to the question if Galaxy S5 is fully set to compete with the iPhone 5S.

How To Enable Jetpack Stats On MobilePress

Almost every WordPress admins uses WordPress' Jetpack plugin on their site to connect and use WordPress.com feature on their self-hosted WordPress. There are a lot of great modules in the Jetpack plugin, but Jetpack Stats module is my personal favorite.

MobilePress is also a well known plugin to create a mobile friendly version of your WordPress. It allows custom themes and a few other mobile friendly settings. But Jetpack's stats module only tracks the desktop version of your site, not the MobilePress version.

Don't worry about this, as I have found a way to enable Jetpack's stats module on our MobilePress. Here is how:

• First of all, enable Jetpack stats module on your WordPress. Now visit your WordPress website as a guest (without signing in).

• Now right click & click on View Page Source to view the source code of your current page, and search stats.wordpress.com in the source code page. You'll find a code similar to this:

<script src="http://stats.wordpress.com/e-201349.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
st_go({v:'ext',j:'1:2.6',blog:'YOURUNIQUEBLOGID',post:'0',tz:'-5'});
var load_cmc = function(){linktracker_init(YOURUNIQUEBLOGID,0,2);};
if ( typeof addLoadEvent != 'undefined' ) addLoadEvent(load_cmc);
else load_cmc();
</script>

• Copy your unique blog id from your unique Jetpack stats snippet and place it in the following code:

<script src="http://stats.wordpress.com/e-201341.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
st_go({v:'ext',j:'1:2.5',blog:'YOURUNIQUEBLOGID',post:'<?php the_ID(); ?> ',tz:'-4'});
var load_cmc = function(){linktracker_init(YOURUNIQUEBLOGID,0,2);};
if ( typeof addLoadEvent != 'undefined' ) addLoadEvent(load_cmc);
else load_cmc();
</script>

• Now paste the above code in the footer.php (webroot / wp-content / plugins / mobilepress / themes / default / footer.php) file of your current MobilePress theme. That's IT!!

As you can see, there's only one difference in the above two codes. In the second code, I have replaced the current post id with <?php the_ID(); ?>, otherwise your Jetpack wouldn't count views for specific page, and all your visits would be counted as Homepage views or of a specific post.

How To Log Out From New Facebook Messenger Android App

Facebook has released the latest update of its Messenger app for Android. This release covers some major changes in the app interface and features. You can also text your contracts from this app, which makes it replacement of texting.

But Facebook forgot to add something in this new upload. There's no option to Log Out of your account in this new update. Don't worry there's a solution of every problem.

Most of us used to log out of our Facebook accounts from Account settings menu, which will not work in this case. Here's how to log out from this app:

In Gingerbread: Click on Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Find and click on "Messenger" > Click on Clear Data > That's IT!

In ICS & JellyBean: Click on Settings > Apps > Find and click on "Messenger" > Click on Clear Data > That's IT!

How To Remove Footer Credits From Jetpack Mobile Theme In WordPress

Jetpack is a great plugin for WordPress to connect your blog to WordPress.com. It also gives us dozens of crappy great plugins for our blog, such as mobile module, social share, wp.me short links, and more.

Jetpack's Mobile module is great plugin to create a mobile version of your website for mobile users, but it comes with a footer credit: Proudly powered by WordPress.

Giving WordPress their credit for their hard work is not bad, but if you're interested then you can easily remove the Jetpack.

In your file manager, edit footer.php file which can be found inside public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven/theme/pub/minileven

Just remove this code from line #27:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'jetpack' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'minileven' , 'jetpack'); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'minileven' , 'jetpack'), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>

That's it.

Adding Google Adsense Ads Into MobilePress

In past, I wrote an article about creating a mobile version of your WordPress site with MobilePress plugin. You can also earn some money with your MobilePress site by using Google Adsense or other mobile advertisement platforms, but lots of users get confused about how to add their advert code into their MobilePress template.

To be honest, it's pretty simple, but still not for first time. I'm also using Adsense on my site's mobile version at this link. Adsense mobile ads are only visible from mobile phones, not on your computer. Let's get started...

Create Adsense Mobile Ads Unit:

Your default Adsense ads are not perfect for your MobilePress powered site. You must create a mobile ads unit on your Adsense account. It's pretty simple...

• 1. Login to your Adsense account > Click on My Ads tab
• 2. Now in My Ads tab, click on Mobile content tab
• 3. Now clck on New ad unit button

• 4. Fill the following form with your ad preference and click on Save and get code:

• 5. Copy your mobile ad code, and paste it into a blank notepad document

• 6. Paste generated ad code into a notepad document and name it adsense.php
• 7. Select All Files as file type
• 8. Click on Save button to save adsense.php

The same thing goes for inmobi, buzzcity, admob and others, just copy the code to a notepad and save. Now we'll add this adsense.php file into your MobilePress theme.

Adding Ads Into MobilePress Theme:

Now you need to visit your ftp client or file manager. I'm using GoDaddy, and here is a preview of my file manager:

• Upload this to public_html or webroot (based on your file manager)

• Go to /public_html/wp-content/plugins/mobilepress/system/themes/default or /public_html/wp-content/mobilepress/themes/themename for custom theme.

• Now if you want to place an advert at the top, you’ll have to edit header.php and insert the ad where you want it to display with following php:

<div class="aduity"><?php include('adsense.php'); ?></div>

• If you need to show the ad unit at the footer, edit footer.php and paste that same code on the very first line or your preferred position..

That's it guys. Same work goes for all other mobile advert platforms. Don't ad more than three Adsense ads in your site. If you need any help, then don't forget to leave a comment.

Deactivating Jetpack's Mobile Theme In WordPress

Last week, I posted an article about Jetpack's Mobile Theme module, which is the easiest way to create a mobile version of your WordPress blog.

Visit your WordPress blog's Jetpack plugin and scroll down to Mobile Theme module. Just like below

As you can see in above image, Mobile Theme is already activated in my press. Now to deactivate this theme, click on Learn More button, and it'll look something like this:

Well done.Now as you can see in above image, a Deactivate button is now visible. Click on that Deactivate button to deactivate Mobile Theme. That's it.

Also, I'm trying to customize this mobile theme, and will post some tutorials soon.

How To Remove MobilePress Footer Credits

In last post, I discussed about JetPack Mobile Module and MobilePress. MobilePress is a great WordPress plugin, but it has a credit note in it's footer, which is not preferred by all bloggers, including me. It's hard for beginners to remove these credits, so I'm here to help them. This is every simple, just follow these instructions:

• Visit your hosting provides, for ex. blog is hosted on GoDaddy.

• Login to your hosting account, and click on File Manager/FTP.

I'm not sure about yours, but my GoDaddy powered file manager looks something like this:

• Now in your File Manager, you webroot is your home root. Now visit following root: webroot / wp-content / plugins / mobilepress / themes / default / footer.php

• In footer.php, find and delete following line:

<p>Powered By <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> and <a href="http://mobilepress.co.za">MobilePress</a></p>

• Save your footer.php file, and that's it. You must admit that it was easy.

Create A Mobile Version Of Your WordPress Blog

Recently, I migrated my WWE News blog from Blogger to WordPress, and because of that lots of WordPress tutorials are on their way.

Earlier today, I shared a tutorial about Create A Mobile Version Of Your Blogger Blog, and now it's time for WordPress users. Creating a mobile friendly site is a great idea to gain some extra views. Also, it'll be easy for your users to access a small mobile version of your site.

There are lots of ways to create a mobile version of your WordPress site, and I'll share two best of them. Both are totally free. Here we go:

By Using Jetpack:

This is a very basic thing, and you can't customize this. Jetpack is a WordPress plugin that supercharges your self-hosted WordPress site with the awesome cloud power of WordPress.com. You can install Jetpack by clicking here.

Jetpack was pre-installed on my hosting. Follow these instruction to enable mobile site powered by Jetpack:

• Install Jetpack from your WordPress or from this link.

• After installing, activate this plugin and visit Jetpack tab:

• On Jetpack tab, scroll down a bit and find Mobile Theme option.

• Click on Activate, and that's it.

Seriously, Jetpack is a great plugin but Mobile Theme by Jetpack really sucks. So I recommend you to deactivate Jetpack's Mobile Theme and use second option. However, if you're using Jetpack then your visitors by mobile will see a simple mobile version of your site.

By Using MobilePress:

MobilePress is a plugin for WordPress that renders a mobile friendly version of your WordPress website or blog. It allows for custom themes and a few other mobile friendly settings. You can install MobilePress by clicking here. Preview of this tutorial is also a MobilePress site. Here is how to use MobilePress:

• Install MobilePress from your WordPress or from this link.

• Activate MobilePress plugin, and that's it.

You can easily view your mobile theme in a web browser by visiting http://www.yoursite.com/?mobile.

Remember, to view your normal blog theme again, simply visit http://www.yoursite.com/?nomobile.

That's it for this time. In future, I'll discuss more about MobilePress and Jetpack.

Create A Mobile Version Of Your Blogger Blog

It's 2013, almost every teen is using a mobile phone to access internet. Even I surf tons of wap pages on my Android everyday. Creating a mobile friendly site is a great idea to gain some extra views. Also, it'll be easy for your users to access a small mobile version of your site.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a mobile friendly version of your Blogger blog. You can check mobile version of BWidgets by clicking here. We're going to do this tutorial in three simple steps. First step is important, while second step is optional, and third step is only for custom domain blogs.

Creating A Mobile Version:

There are lots of sites, which offers you to create free mobile site, and for that they put ads on your site, which totally sucks. However, some premium sites give you full access, but as I said they are premium.

We don't need a stinking service to create a mobile version of our site. We're going to use Blogger's mobile template for our site, which is best option. Blogger provides lots of amazing mobile templates for us. Some people don't use Blogger mobile template because they are ugly but that's not true. Click here to check our mobile site, which looks totally flawless. So here is how to turn on mobile template:

• Go To Blogger > Template > Click on Mobile option > Turn on mobile template and choose a theme for your blog:

After turning this option, you can access your mobile blog at http://yourblog.blogspot.com/?m=1

That's it for first step. Now, you can leave this tutorial here or you can check next step, if you want to remove Powered By Blogger option from your mobile template.

Removing Credits:

In February, we discovered a way to remove this attribution widget from both mobile and default template. ithout wasting any time, let's get started:

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Proceed

• Find and remove following code from your template:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/>

• Find </body> in your template and just above it paste following code:

<div style='display:none;'>
<b:section class='hiddenbar' id='hiddenbar' preferred='no'>
<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>
</b:section>
</div>

• Save your template, it's done.

Let me explain this, instead of removing attribution widget, we hid this widget with css. If you only add mobile='no' property in your attribution, instead of this code, it'll only remove this widget from your mobile template.

If you're using free Blogger domain then this tutorial is over for you, but if you're using custom domain then don't forget to check next step.

Create A Mobile URL:

Time for a cool step. If you're using a custom domain, then why not give our mobile website a new address? I mean it'll be easy for your visitors to access your site from m.yoursite.com. In this step, I'll only explain what to do.

Visit your domain registrar, then visit your domain control panel and choose domain/sub-domain forwarding/redirecting. Now redirect m.yourdomain.com to http://www.yourdomain.com/?m=1.

If you're using GoDaddy, then you can learn more about domain forwarding at this link. As of writing, mobile url of BWidgets is not available, since our domain registrar doesn't provide this service, but soon I'll transfer my domain to GoDaddy.

Hope this tutorial helped you. Don't forget to leave a comment.

Remove Attribution Widget From Blogger Mobile Template

In our last post, we discussed how to remove attribution widget from blogger. In this post, we'll discuss how to remove attribution widget from blogger mobile template.

In previous post, we showed you how to remove attribution widget from your blog but that widget can still be viewed by visiting your mobile template (If you're using). After searching on Google for hours i found nothing about this topic, so i invented my own way to do this.

In last trick, we removed this widget, now we'll hide'em. Without wasting any time, let's get started:

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Proceed

• Find and remove following code from your template:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/>

• Find </body> in your template and just above it paste following code:

<div style='display:none;'>
<b:section class='hiddenbar' id='hiddenbar' preferred='no'>
<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>
</b:section>
</div>

• Save your template, it's done.

Let me explain this, instead of removing attribution widget, we hid this widget with css. If you only add mobile='no' property in your attribution, instead of this code, it'll only remove this widget from your mobile template. If you're copying this tutorial, then don't forget to give us a backlink on your post. Also, don't forget to leave a comment.

How To Edit Blogger Mobile Template

In this post we're going to learn about how to edit our blogger template for mobile phones so please starting this don't forget to enable mobile template on your blogger by visiting template section.

How To Customize The Structure Of Your Mobile Template :

Blogger Templates are made by using widgets. Blogger has added a new property (mobile) to the <b:widget/> tag. This property can take the following values: ‘default', ‘yes', ‘no', ‘only'. As you may have guessed, this property will determine how the widget will be rendered in the mobile view.

By default, the widgets that will be shown on mobile are:

• Header
• Blog
• Profile
• PageList
• AdSense
• Attribution

a) If you want to hide any of said widgets, you need to use the property mobile='no' in the widget tag. By doing so, that widget would no longer appear in the mobile view.

For instance, you can hide the Attribution Gadget in Mobile view if you use:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>

b) If you want  to display a non-default widget in the Mobile view of your Blogger blog, then just set its mobile property to 'yes'.

Here is an example:

This is the normal tag for the Blog Archive Widget:

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' title='Blog Archive' type='BlogArchive'>

When you set the mobile property as

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' title='Blog Archive' mobile='yes' type='BlogArchive'>

you should see the Archive Widget on your Mobile view.

c) If you want a widget to appear only in the mobile view, you can achieve this be setting the Mobile property to 'only':

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='only' title='' type='Attribution'/>

If you use this tag, the attribution gadget will disappear from your desktop view, and will appear only on the mobile view.

How To Customize The Look And Feel Of Your Mobile Template :

You can fully customize the look of your mobile template. The body element of the mobile template will be styled by the mobile class:

<body class='loading mobile'>

Make sure that your template contains the following line of code:

<body expr:class='&quot;loading&quot; + data:blog.mobileClass'>

If you have experience working with CSS, you can use this class name to style your mobile template.

.mobile .date-header {
text-decoration:underline;
}

Alternate Widget Content On Mobile View :

When you switch to the Custom Mobile Template, you might find that the template is too huge to fit into a Mobile Browser. If you want you can provide alternate content inside a widget.

For example:

<div class="widget-content">
<b:if cond="data:blog.isMobile">
<!-- Show a text link in mobile view.-->
<a href="http://www.blogger.com">
Powered By Blogger
</a>
<b:else/>
<!-- Show an image link in desktop view.-->
<a href="http://www.blogger.com">
<img expr:src="data:fullButton" alt="Powered By Blogger"/>
</a>
</b:if>
</div>

This code will show a Powered by Blogger Text link on the Mobile View and a Powered by Blogger image on the normal desktop view.

The condition

<b:if cond="data:blog.isMobile"/>

can be used to check if a visitor is viewing your blog in a mobile browser or not. You can use this conditional check creatively and give a totally different look to the mobile version of the blog.

That’s all!
