** Another Letter to Indian Mi Fans **

Dear Mi fans,

Last week, we were forced to suspend sales in India due to an order passed by the Delhi High Court. Thanks for the overwhelming support so many of you have shown to Mi India in response to that!

We are happy to announce that the Delhi High Court today issued a ruling in our favor, allowing us to resume sales in India subject to certain terms.

The good news is that Redmi 1S is coming back next week and we’ll be having our next sale on Tuesday, December 23. Registration will start shortly — keep an eye on the Mi India page for details!

We will also be resuming sales of Redmi Note shortly, with the 4G model this time. More details on that very soon, stay tuned!

Simple Steps to remove a " blue ticks " From Whatsapp -




A week after Whatsapp introduced 'read receipts' feature in the form of two blue ticks, it has immediately stepped in and introduced another feature to disable it.
WhatsApp's move to quietly introduce read receipts (letting people see exactly when a message is read, not just delivered) earlier this month angered a lot off it's users and set off privacy concerns. Earlier, the app used to show one tick mark when you sent a message, which changed to two grey ticks when it was delivered. This was changed and now it shows two blue ticks when the recipient has read your message.
The feature is only available to Android users who have downloaded the new beta version of the app. Users have to go to Settings > Privacy > and disable the 'Read Receipts' option to dismiss the blue ticks when you read the messages sent by other people, reported The Independent.
This feature has rolled out without an update to the app itself. This means that there was no privacy setting to disable read receipts when the feature was rolled out.

Currently the feature is only available to Android users who have downloaded the new beta version of the app. Users have to go to Settings > Privacy > and disable the 'Read Receipts' option to dismiss the blue ticks when you read the messages sent by other people, reported The Independent.

Now Android users can dismiss Whatsapp 'blue ticks'. Here's how

Facebook decided to curb promotional posts on user timelines






SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook on Friday said it is making moves to reduce the number of promotional posts that pop up in timelines, in response to users' demands for fewer advertisements. 

Beginning in January, people should start seeing fewer posts in news feeds urging them to do things such as buy products, download applications or enter sweepstakes, according to the leading social media titan. 

"People told us they wanted to see more stories from friends and pages they care about .. and less promotional content," the California-based social network company said in a blog post. 

The change was prompted by a survey that revealed Facebook users think there are too many advertisement-like posts in news feeds. 

The social media giant said it discovered that a lot of pitches that came across as advertising were actually posts from pages people had "liked," according to the blog post. 

"This may seem counter-intuitive, but it actually makes sense," Facebook .. said. 

"News feed has controls for the number of ads a person sees and for the quality of those ads... but those same controls haven't been as closely monitored for promotional page posts." 

New controls are being put in place to filter overly ad-like posts, according to the social network. 

But the adjustment will not change the number of ads served up to users, according to Facebook.

Google Nexus 6 review: - Given 4 **** / 5 - The best Nexus yet,

Google Nexus 6 review

( The best Nexus yet, if you can tolerate its gargantuan size )
The biggest, most expensive, and best Nexus phone Google has ever produced. All it needs is decent camera software.
 " Nexus 6 ( 32 GB )  " is Available in Two Variants - 

 Midnight Blue 

 Cloud White 




AT  A GLANCE
______________________________________________________________________

Google Nexus 6 






New Google Nexus 6 is Versatile 6-inch Quad HD display is great for movies, videos, gaming, e-books, and surfing the web, with round-the-clock battery life.



New Google Nexus 6 , You’ll be lining up the perfect shot with your Nexus 6, and someone will mock you for taking photos with your tablet. And you’ll have to explain, “No, that’s just my absurdly large phone.”
With a nearly 6-inch display, Google’s latest Nexus is downright unwieldy. It’s impossible to use effectively with one hand (and I have large hands). It doesn’t fit well in my pants pockets (and I have large pants). You can forget about taking it with you for a run.
And yet, it’s hard not to love. That’s partially thanks to the top-shelf hardware and slick design of this Motorola-built phone, and partly because it’s a showcase for stock Android Lollipop (5.0), which is far more elegant and usable than any previous version. 
But it’s also true what the phablet-lovers have been saying for the past couple years: that an oversized phone is too big at first, but after a while, it’s hard to go back to anything smaller. The bigger displays just make these pocket computers more useful as, well, computers. And as our smartphones get more capable, it’s increasingly appropriate to recognize that they’re often our primary computing devices, and maybe a big screen is best.

Is that a Nexus 6 in your pocket?

I’m not used to phablets, and the Nexus 6 is the phablet-est of them all. It’s about as tall as an iPhone 6 Plus, but a quarter-inch wider. It’s almost a quarter inch taller and wider than the Galaxy Note 4.  It took me several days of constant use to come to grips with the downsides: the need to stuff it in my bag or jacket instead of my pants pocket, or to hold it with one hand while tapping with the other, even just to reach the back button in the lower left corner. What a drag.

                                               How big is the Nexus 6? Bigger than the sizeable Galaxy Note 4, even!

But with all the concessions you make in carrying around a phone apparently made for NBA players, you’ll also come to rely on the its benefits. A 6-inch, 2560x1440 screen is large and sharp enough to read webpages that aren’t explicitly designed for mobile. Watching YouTube and Netflix becomes an immersive joy, rather than an exercise in how long you can maintain a squint. Typing accuracy goes way up. Games are easier to play, with larger tap targets and more visible area around your thumbs.
A phone this big makes you start to feel, dare I say, productive. Even when you’re just goofing off, you seem to be goofing off more efficiently.
That huge chassis provides plenty of space for top-shelf hardware. That big AMOLED display is the star of the show. It’s big, fairly bright, and very sharp. Colors are a little too saturated, and whites have a slightly greenish tinge to them—these are common problems to AMOLEDs, but the Nexus 6 seems to suffer from them to a smaller degree than most.
Oddly enough, the screen size and resolution makes Android default to a 5x5 grid of icons, instead of the typical 4x4. The extra real estate is nice, but most Android widgets top out at four icons wide, so they don’t fit the screen nicely. Even Google’s apps don’t have widgets five icons wide.
The big high-resolution screen gives you a 5x5 grid of icons, but most Android widgets max out at 4 icons wide.

The system-on-chip (SoC) is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 at 2.7GHz with 3GB of RAM. It’s the fastest phone SoC available today, and it shows. Scrolling is smooth, multitasking is immediate, games run flawlessly. Give credit to the SoC for some of that performance, and the efficiency of Android Lollipop for the rest.
Of particular note is the broad wireless compatibility of this phone. It supports more GSM, CDMA, and LTE bands than nearly any phone I can recall. It will be available subsidized from all four major U.S. carriers (a first for a Nexus phone), and should work great overseas. 

Just a giant Moto X, only better (and worse)

The design of Google’s giant Nexus is very clearly derived from the Moto X (as it is made in partnership with Motorola, now a Lenovo company). It has the same gently curved back that makes the phone feel thinner than it is, leading to tapered edges that improve grip. The front is a single piece of smooth Gorilla Glass 3 that is dominated by the display, with very small bezels surrounding it. The flat front glass is disturbed only by a pair of speakers above and below the display.
You know your phone is big when they had to move the buttons halfway down the side for you to be able to reach them.
That’s right, stereo speakers. Combined with the large display, they make a huge improvement in your video-watching and game-playing experience.
Google borrows more than just the shape of the Moto X. It cribbed a couple of that device’s best features, too. Ambient Display is similar to Moto Display: When a new notification comes in, or you pick up the phone, it lights up just enough pixels to show the notifications and time. It works great with Android Lollipop’s new lockscreen notifications, and won’t kill your battery.
Thanks to a power-efficient DSP chip, the phone is always listening for “OK Google,” even if it’s sitting on your desk with the screen off and locked. The feature isn’t enabled by default, but once turned on it worked flawlessly and didn’t have much of a negative impact on battery life, either.
From its curved back to its “ring flash” around the camera, the Nexus 6 looks like an oversized Moto X.
For all the similarities with Motorola’s flagship phone, the Moto X still retains a few features for itself. While the Moto X has customizable backs and colors, the Nexus 6 only comes in midnight blue and white. The Moto X also has a greater array of voice commands, and gives you the ability to wave your hand over the phone to silence incoming calls. The camera hardware is better in the Nexus 6, but Motorola’s camera app, while unimpressive, is still better than the lame Google Camera app you get here.

Decent camera hardware, terrible camera software


If there’s a serious drawback to Google’s beastly new phone, it’s the camera. This is a Nexus, and that means stock Android, and that means Google’s standard Camera app. It’s awful.

Mind you, the Nexus 6 hardware is up to snuff. It’s got a 13-mega pixel Sony IMX214sensor, f/2.0 lens, with optical image stabilization, and a dual-LED flash. The resulting shots are quite good, and even the low-light performance is a big step up from previous Nexus phones. With HDR+ mode enabled, you can get some really nice shots.

The Nexus 6 (left) delivers decent low-light shots, thanks to a good sensor, f/2.0 lens, and OIS. Compare to Galaxy S5 (right).

But the experience of taking photos is abysmal. The interface for Google’s Camera app is simple to the point of fault. It lacks many basic options and features you find on every modern smartphone. All this high-end hardware and there’s no burst mode? No slow motion video? The shutter lag and shot-to-shot latency is way too long.

In bright light, the Nexus 6 camera (left) delivers nice white balance and color tones. Galaxy S5 on right.

It’s hard to imagine how it ended up this way. Android Lollipop brings with it a new camera API that gives developers unprecedented control over camera hardware and raw access to the sensor data. Finally, Android camera apps can match their iOS counterparts, with smooth viewfinder updates, fast burst modes, HDR video, better post-processing, quick shutter performance, and manual focus and exposure controls. How is Google’s own Camera app, on its flagship Nexus device, not a proving ground for what’s possible? It doesn’t appear to take advantage of any of the new camera API features at all.
There are a few camera apps that deliver some of these things today, but so far none have been updated to use the new Android 5.0 camera API, so they’re sort of limited. Until we see some new or updated camera apps in the Play Store, or Google improves its awful Camera app, the Nexus 6’s fine hardware remains hamstrung.

Break away from the charger


The Nexus 6 supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 technology, meaning that it can charge a nearly-dead phone very quickly if you have a compatible charger. Charging speed tapers off as the battery gets full, it’s still immensely useful. I went from 27 percent charged to 52 percent in 15 minutes.
Many other phone makers incorporate this same technology, sometimes giving it their own brand name. They almost always sell the turbo charger separately—Google packs it in the box.
You can bring the Nexus 6 back from the brink of death very quickly, but this may not be necessary all that often, as the battery lasts quite long. Unfortunately, many of the apps we rely on to perform battery benchmarks do not yet work properly under Android Lollipop, so a proper battery benchmark score will be added here in the future.
That said, in over a week of use, I never had to charge the phone twice in a single day. It easily lasted over 24 hours with about 3.5 hours of screen-on time in moderate use. That’s with the brightness set above average, and adaptive brightness, Ambient Display, and always-listening features enabled. Even if you’re a fairly heavy user, you probably won’t have to plug in before you go to bed.

Go big or go home


This is the finest Nexus device Google has ever produced. It has the fastest phone SoC money can buy. It’s got an enormous, extremely hi-res display. Stereo speakers, Ambient Display and always-listening technologies, turbo charging... all in a very solid, classy body with an appealing design.
It’s also the most expensive Nexus phone yet. At $649, it costs hundreds more than the Nexus 5. The price isn’t half bad, actually. Consider that other huge phones like Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 Plus cost $100 more, and for that price the iPhone gives you half the storage. You get what you pay for.
Your biggest fear about the Nexus 6 is probably its size. Frankly, it doesn’t need to be so big. But you’ll get used to it, and in time, you’ll look at “little” 5-inch phones like they’re toys. Your concern should be the camera. The hardware is there, but Google does not provide camera software worthy of it, and other developers have not yet stepped up to the plate.
It’s a shame to see such a lovely phone, and the best Nexus yet, tarnished by once again delivering a lackluster photo-taking experience. If you can live with that, or if you have faith that improved camera software is right around the corner, you’ll find this to be the easiest Nexus phone to live with, despite (or perhaps because of) it’s staggering size

Google announces Android Lollipop, Nexus 6 smartphone, Nexus 9 tablet

Google announces Android Lollipop, Nexus 6 smartphone, Nexus 9 tablet

WASHINGTON: Google on Wednesday ramped up its mobile arsenal, upgrading its Nexus line with a new tablet and smartphone, and unveiling its revamped Android software, to be dubbed "Lollipop."

The US tech giant also announced the launch of a streaming media player for music, movies and videos, which can also allow users to play games via the Android TV device.

"Lollipop" or Android 5.0, the upgraded operating system for mobile, "is designed to be flexible, to work on all your devices and to be customized for you the way you see fit," said Google vice-president Sundar Pichai, who heads the Android operations.

With the new operating system, according to the Android Website, "The songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all of your Android devices."

The new devices give Google and its Android partners a broader portfolio to compete against Apple, which launched two upgraded large-screen iPhones last month and is expected to unveil new iPads on Thursday.

The Nexus 6 smartphone becomes the newest and largest of the Google-branded handsets, and is produced by Motorola, which Google bought in 2012 and is in the process of selling to China's Lenovo.



This aluminum frame device has a six-inch high resolution screen and a 13-megapixel camera.
"The large screen is complemented by dual front-facing stereo speakers that deliver high-fidelity sound, making it as great for movies and gaming as it is for doing work," Google said in a statement.



"It also comes with a Turbo Charger, so you can get up to six hours of use with only 15 minutes of charge."
On the tablet front, Google partnered with Taiwan-based HTC for the 8.9-inch Nexus 9.
The brushed-metal tablet "is small enough to easily carry around in one hand, yet big enough to work on," Google said.
"And since more and more people want to have the same simple experience they have on their tablets when they have to do real work, we designed a keyboard folio that magnetically attaches to the Nexus 9, folds into two different angles and rests securely on your lap like a laptop."
Google did not disclose pricing for the devices, but said they would be available for pre-order later this month.
The media player will deliver video apps to a television screen for consumers looking to supplement or go without cable or satellite.
Some of the apps included on the player are Netflix, Hulu Plus, the Food Network, Pandora and Huffington Post.

Cell tower radiation increases risk of brain cancer

From DNA India Analysis...........! 

Busting the myths about lack of evidence on harm caused by cellphone radiation, Finnish scientist Dariusz Leszczynski cancer.
on Friday said that long-term exposure to cellphone and cell tower radiation, on an average of thirty minutes a day over ten years, causes an increased risk of brain,

Cellphone radiation increases risk of cancer?
"The Interfone, Hardell and the recently concluded CERENAT studies in France have all pointed towards a common risk to increased brain cancer," said Leszczynski, adjunct professor, biochemistry, University of Helsinki. Leszczynski is one of the members of the expert committee constituted by World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). WHO has classified electromagnetic frequency radiation emitted by cellphone, cell towers and wi-fi as category 2(B) or possibly carcinogenic.
What are the associated health risks?
Apart from brain cancer, three definitive studies showed that exposure of radiation to the skin and brain caused changes in cell structure. "Changes were induced in skin cells and metabolism of glucose in the brain was affected." It is also known to cause hearing loss, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOD) in women.
Repercussions of impending 4G towers?
There are 15 lakh mobile towers in India. Most of them are in dense clusters and in non-uniform distances. Experts have raised concerns over the upcoming 4G towers. "Each tower has close to four or more antennae attached to it. Each antennae will transmit at least forty watts of power which is extremely high. At the moment, 2G towers emit close to 20 watts of power. More transmission in 4G towers may cause compliance issues," said Professor Girish Kumar, department of electrical engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). "Across Europe, power transmission of antennae is not more than 1-5 watts. Higher the power transmission, more amplified is the range of frequency of mobile tower."
Cellphone operators often increase power transmission in fewer towers to save costs of building more towers at uniform distances. "India needs 15 lakh more towers, but that would lead to incurring of Rs30,000 crore for cellphone companies. So, they are increasing power transmission which is harmful to human health," added Kumar.
How can the problem of call drops be tackled?
Experts have proposed that cell tower operators build more towers with lesser power transmission. It is proposed that if the call costs are increased by five paise per minute by operators, which is multiplied by 365 days and 90 crore users that talk on the phone on an average for 18 minutes a day, operators can recover Rs30,000 crore from users in two years. "This corpus can be used for regulation of power transmission and uniform construction of towers at shorter distances. This will also solve problems of call drops," Kumar explained.
