You will surely have pointed it out, smartphones consume much more than good old Nokia 3210. There is of what, since we have more and more big screens, more and more powerful processors, more and more connectivit , multimedia functions increasing, etc All that, this consumes!

Of other one quoted, batteries have a capacity which augments not much and sometimes find it difficult to follow. If you add to it of firmwares sometimes badly optimised, it is quickly anarchy.

On Android, a small software already allows to improve the life of the battery between 2 expenses. It works on the basis of profiles to be speeded up according to the remaining level of battery. It is a very good thing but action becomes in post riori. I always heard it is better to tell than to recover How to make then? I did not find application which makes better. I issue therefore ideas which could interest a developer or better constructors / creators of BONES.

It seems to me that some functionality should be included into the lowest possible level to be the most efficient possible. From the control panel, the user could then choose how manage resources and therefore their impact on the battery. All would not make him, but at least, it would allow to avoid in certain cases  the thread in the leg  . Let us make a bit the list of missing functionality:

Screen: It is one of the most important sources of consumption by waiting for screens really OLED. It would be interesting to be able to manage brightness according to several parametres: the timetable since in general at night, a screen on maximum brightness is of use for nothing. Another parametre is the type of use. A film can be worth having a better brightness than a dispatch of quick SMS.

Mobile network: the 3G consumes more than the 2G, it is a fact. In certain cases, it is useless to have the 3G speeded up. It is case in the train for example when they pass too often from a cell to the other one. A simple means to force mode 2G or to program mode 2G would allow to let breathe the battery a little more. By pushing the reasoning, with a prediction of use, it would be possible to speed the 3G up in flight (for example when an application using the network of data has the focus or synchronises behind plan).

Wi-Fi: This mode of network is little available in itin rance. it would be rather interesting to be able to speed it up / to deactivate it automatically according to the place where they are. It is active at home, to the Офис, at the friends, but on the street, the car or transport, he deactivates.

Bluetooth: According to your equipment, you can have at all times your Bluetooth speeded up. If any of your habitual peripheral is not in range, it is of use for nothing. So much economise the energy of this quoting.

Synchronisation: This functionality is marvellous. She allows you to recover data automatically update on servers (photos, contacts, e-mails, calendar) quay instantly. However, when you sleep, that the last e-mail arrives at instant or just after the waking, it matters not much. This functionality can therefore be programmed according to some time slots.

Mode plane: it is called as it since he allows to cut all network connections in accordance with it request of the agencies of civil aviation. This mode can also find its utility at night since mostly your telephone will remain unused. A programming of availability in network would still allow there to pick up some % of battery. If furthermore you use your smartphone as waking, you would appreciate perhaps that he does not radiate too much at night

Timeout of connection: you will have pointed it out, sometimes, the load of a page web is very very long. It can have several reasons: network with a too weak debit, site very charged web not optimised for the motive, or even 2. You sometimes drop and line up your telephone in the pocket. By regulating the length at the end of which the telephone leaves, it will avoid you waiting for nothing (300 long seconds by default). Choose the type of network with which you do not like to try, will also help to economise the battery.

Speed of the processor: we always hear of overclocking. It is also possible to go to inverse sense. A regulating of the profile of speed according to use or of what the user wishes would be also thriftier in energy.

Inactive processes: Android keeps 6 last applications used in thorough stain. Mostly everything takes place well, but sometimes an application introduces a bug and uses energy of the processor therefore. If application is not used since long instant, to remember it does not serve thing in big. So much leave her completely to restart it better later.

It is possible to go even farther. Bout- -bout, very these energy savings can represent a more comfortable autonomy of our telephones of some hours. It seems to me interesting that the constructors could lean there to bring a clever answer to question  what is the life of the battery?  .

See you of other means to economise our batteries a little more?

Nokia N900 has just been introduced in London. In the course of informal debate with the team in load of Maemo, the Really Mobile Project got the confidentiality of the future of Maemo. It would be about the platform on which would be based the whole Nseries of Nokia from 2012. Nothing of announcing however.

But what will he happen to Symbian while evolutions are envisaged for next February? It would seem that Symbian is then reserved in Xseries and Eseries.

Qualcomm announces a new family of processor: MSM 7 30. She will come to replace the venerable family of MSM 7 2x on which are based a lot of telephone current Android. Before limited in 528 MHZ, this new family will go from 800 MHZ to 1 GHZ. Always based on an architecture ARM v7, it also loads a heart Scorpion shared with his elder brother Snapdragon.

The processor also includes a module of encoding / video decoding HD 720p 30 fps, GPU supporting OpenGL ARE 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1, the audio surround support 5.1, sensors photo to 12 Mpx. The component also has loaded GPS and on some versions, loads memory.

MSM 7230 will be intended in Europe (enter others) with the support of networks HSPA + and will support Android, Brew, Symbian and Mobile Windows. The first apparatus should be available for the end of 2010.

The interface Serie 60 V3 Symbian lived. Version 5 struggles to persuade its performances of part with a gout of not finishing. It was therefore impossible to stay as it and to look without moving the rivals to nibble the cake little by little. It is about known honour first system for smartphone.

Symbian^3 is therefore envisaged for February, 2010 and will include 600 announced novelties. It will be used by Nokia (of course), Samsung and Sony Ericsson. It int grera web (social networks, plethora of widgets, a navigator complete web), NFC (payment without contact), and of course all enters others the last standards that makes the success of the current motives: high connectivit , services g o - located, acc l rom tre, compass, Except the multitouch management of screens.

To look there closely in the video showing concept, broad inspirations of Android, of the iPhone, and of the job of Larvalabs are found there.

It did not avoid you, Sony Ericsson becomes again active that the mobile stage. While we say it at the edge of bankruptcy last May, it is interesting to notice how the society rebounds.

The first thing which we can assert: they position in very upmarket. For example, Xperia Rachael will be positioned at a price except pack operator beyond of 600 with exceptional characteristics. Satio (550 ) is also positioned in the top of range on the segment Symbian. Xperia X2 (680 ) is also in the top of range of terminals Mobile Windows. Some terminals popular dance entirely tactile also will offered on this segment in mode converging with Playstations.

In short, Sony Ericsson favours the persons therefore to strong incomes and addresses all types of BONE contrary to Motorola who concentrates on Android only.

Why not to have rationalised platforms motive smartphone? It seems for example that Symbian is inevitable to sell motives to the operators. In effects, the notebooks of specifications which they distribute to the constructors did not fit to platforms as Android yet. To generate the volume, it is therefore clear that it is the operator that it is first necessary to persuade strong preacher due to their role. At the same time, to pass to quoting of Android is impossible for a big multi constructor platform. Mobile not having saying Windows its last word, is not even time to leave it.

Sony Ericsson, due to its investment, will be therefore on a market with weaker volumes but with strong margins. The segment of smartphones noticed growth even though the whole mobile market was in strong reduction. It is therefore about a bet for Sony Ericsson who inevitably makes think in Apple during the beginning of the iPhone. They lack only the Community dimension passionate in mark in the apple.

Symbian has just published the sources of are core under the licence EPL (eclipse). It is a stage there more than foundation has just crossed to give again a little of attraction to its system for the mobile platforms. The whole kit can be downloaded from the site of foundation.

Symbian also uses it to announce the availability of SMP (Symmetric multi Processing) with the provision of the platform ST Ericsson U8500 which is based on a processor ARM Cortex A9 (bi heart) as shows it video below.

Symbian moves, Gartner still envisages them the first place in 2012, but is it sufficient?

The first thing is of reconnaitre the outright success of the iPhone. 33 million units sold in September, 2009 among which 2 millions in France. An unforgettable slap was given to the whole mobile market in July, 2007. The rhythm of exits once again mobile goes however in favour of Android. A question is therefore worth blow: does he stay from the place for other mobile platforms? Of what think of it the professionals of the sector?

Guillaume Decugis CEO of Goojet
Yes I think of it. The history of other markets as that of PCS showed that to leave the first was not enough. That being said, Apple also showed that he had drawn lessons and that he could become predominant: it is case on the market of digital music where the combination iPod / iTunes seems unremovable. More in concrete terms on the market of motives, it is necessary to take into account one of his important and true characteristics in all countries: it is the mobile operators who make sales by promoting terminals and by subsidising them. Same Apple (who at origin did not want this model) had to end up accepting it: sales of iPhone once took off only the classical subsidies applied by Orange in France and other operators in the world. It seems to me that the operators are going to make everything so that there are not 1 or 2 platforms of smartphones but several just as they struggled in the past with some success against the hegemony of Nokia which has never become the  Microsoft of motives  .

Christophe Romei Founder de ServicesMobiles
There are more than 20 blinds of mobile application in the world between the operators, the constructors, players and it still risks growing, we are 4 thousand millions to have a motive, and the motives of type Smartphone represent a small part, not 20 % in countries in very much potential where the rates of penetration saturate. He stays some more space and things are only beginning 2015 was always considered as key date by of many persons in industry of mobile as mature for a market which will have LTE and terminals which will not be simply motives, as they are considered in 2009!
Others part blinds in the emergent countries are only at the very beginning history there and BRIC (br sil, russie, indigo, bargain-hunts), will have blinds of numerous with 2 leaders: indigo and China
