So easy to use and works so smoothly

Enlightened vs Resistance is a mastermind concept cooked up by the amazing Niantic Labs at Google (more on this later).

Here is a little about the game before I go into sharing my  thoughts on the game:

The primary goal of the game is defend the takeover of the human race by an unknown “Shaper” force or, depending on your perspective, to assist in an “Enlightenment” of mankind through an alliance with the Shapers. This is accomplished by aligning with either the Resistance or the Enlightened faction and by creating “Control Fields” over geographic areas. Progress in the game is measured by the number of Mind Units controlled by each Faction (visible on the Intel Map).

XM Control Fields are established by claiming Portals and then linking Portals together to form Fields. More powerful Portals can link over longer distances (up to hundreds of kilometers). The link range of a Portal is determined by the power of the attached Resonators. Portal Keys are needed to form links.

When three Portals are linked to form a triangle, a Control Field is established over the region. It will be rendered on the Scanner as a hazy blue or green field over the area. The number of Mind Units claimed is related to the population density of the area covered. Cities yield more Mind Units than rural areas.

Your ultimate goal is to cooperate with other players in your Faction to secure or liberate the entire world.

Now first off it’s worth saying that I primarily am not a gamer though this caught my eye and given the hype I was seeing I just had to get involved, it seemed very much like V to me and I simply love that programme (old and new).

Getting into a closed Beta is not easy as many folks who are desperately trying to get a code to join the game will confirm however one of the brains behind the game, Brandon Badger, who is the Product Manager for Niantic Labs at Google has decided to hand out some codes to people who show artistic skill in relation to the game itself.

Having followed the stream of folk trying to get one of the invites closely, I decided that I would try myself and get an invite with this entry:

And there it was! Enough to get me a coveted spot in the open beta…

The doors were finally opened and no longer would I see the screen taunting me for an activation code.

Upon opening the game and inputting the activation code I was greeted with a ToS page and a warning that saving the world was dangerous… if I wasn’t already hooked I am now!

After completing the initial sign up the game then starts to find your location and gives you an overview of the

game in true game scrolling story type style.

When you have gone through the introduction you receive an incoming message from ADA which advises you that you need to collect Exotic Matter (known as XM) and in a matter of seconds following you clicking Start Training the game pinpoints where you are in the world down to street level and you are instantly shown a map with more XM than you can imagine (purple moving dots).

Your first mission is to collect 1000 XM, which is not easy! This is probably the only game I have ever known to make me want to leave the house at 10:30pm and travel the streets of my town collecting XM. If you don’t move from your settee then very slowly parts of XM will move into your radius and you will collect them being confirmed by a computerised voice advising you of your new XM levels.

Inside the console there are several options open to you so we will go through them one at a time in an overview sort of fashion.

• COMM :The communication hub. Your in game actions are broadcast here and you have the ability to talk too however in my area there was very little chatter. The comm section allows you to communicate  Localally, Regionally and at a Global level.
• ITEMS: As I do not yet have items it’s hard to say what will show here though I can imagine it will be XMP’s will be (XM Bombs)
• INTEL: This shows a world map with both factions being shown. More to come on this later as we move through the game
• MISSION: This shows a list of current and future missions and allows you to abort or view the briefing for each one.
• RECRUIT: This speaks for itself, an area for you to recruit new members however I have 0 invites right now, sorry folks.
• DEVICE: This is essentially the settings area and you can see the options which are available in the screenshots below

OK so now that we have taken a quick walk through of the app and have an idea what needs to be done it’s time to head out and collect some XM to get going!

I will keep you all cheap viagra online informed of the progress as I progress through the game – we hope you join us or stick around to find out more.

Upon entering the Google Play Store you will find out that the rumours are true: the Nexus 4, both 8GB and 16GB, are sold-out. What is the reason for these two devices having so much success with the public and, therefore, are sweeping the phone market? Here are a few reasons.
The

first, and most important reason, is obviously the price. This product is sold directly from the Google Play Store and its starting price is £239 for the 8GB and £279 for the 16. These are quite low prices, especially if one takes into account the smartphone’s excellent specifications. This new Nexus includes, for example, a quad-core SoC, 2 GB of RAM and also is the first to include the new version of the operating system Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean).
The power of the Nexus brand is another factor, because obviously it is gaining followers. Also with this phone manufactured by LG, in either of its two versions, expands its product range considerably. This allows Google to improve their reputation when making Android handsets. LG is enhancing its reputation for trying to position itself at the level of other manufacturers such as Samsung. In addition, LG has also managed to improve its presence in the Android world.
Other reasons for the good sales of Nexus 4 is that its Android operating system is increasingly being spread on the market (just remember that the latest reports speak of 75% of global market share) and is improving by leaps and bounds over Apple and its iPhone 5.
At 9 am. yesterday, Nexus 4 went on sale and in the first couple of hours supplies of both the 16GB and 8GB versions were depleted. Reportedly, it seems there will be more devices in about seven to ten days.

That is until now!

Vodafone have today announced their Red Hot plan which allows customers to rent a handset from the network for a period of 12 months then at then end of that period they can swap it with another handset or extend their contract for a period of time until the handset they want is available.

This is an excellent plan and though not cheap (£47 /month) it allows customers who cannot afford to buy sim-free, the opportunity to stay in tune with the market.

Vodafone Red Hot gives customers unlimited calls and texts, 2GB of internet and WiFi on a 12 month contract.  As an example, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S3 (16GB) for £47 a month or a Note II for £52 per month.

Now we just need the other networks to follow, compete and lower the prices!

RED HOT

• Rent a smartphone, with no upfront costs and change it every year
• Talk and text as much as you want and get loads of internet with Vodafone Red Hot
• Truly unlimited calls and texts available for the hottest handsets

Vodafone UK is today launching Vodafone Red Hot, its first plan designed to allow pay monthly customers to rent some of its hottest phones, changing them every year, without the need to make a large payment upfront.  Building on the successful introduction of Vodafone Red, Vodafone Red Hot gives customers unlimited calls and texts, 2GB of internet and WiFi on a 12 month contract.

From £47 a month, Vodafone Red Hot is available on three handsets and includes insurance, a screen protector and a personalised phone case as standard.  At the end of 12 months customers can either choose to extend their contract, or swap the phone for a newer model.

The decision to offer customers the ability to rent a phone comes on the back of customer research that demonstrated that many people wanted to change their phones more regularly, but did not wish to make a large initial contribution at the start of their contract. Florie Brizel, Mobilologist and CEO of Los Angeles-based Brizel Media, explains further on our official blog, Vodafone Social http://blog.vodafone.co.uk/redhot/

Srini Gopalan, Consumer Director, Vodafone UK said “We’ve been working incredibly hard to simplify the price plans we offer to customers. Vodafone Red Hot marks another way for customers to stay one step ahead of their friends, having the latest technology in their hands.  Coupled with unlimited calls, texts and a massive amount of internet, we think there will be many customers who will see this as a great choice.”

Unlimited means unlimited

Vodafone Red Hot plan offers unlimited calls to all UK mobiles – not just other Vodafone customers – and standard UK landlines, with no restrictions on how long a customer can talk or how many people they call.
Vodafone Red Hot will be available through Vodafone’s retail stores across the UK.

Thanks so much to Mathias Stanger on Google+ for alerting us to this.

In the recent various Android 4.2 dumps, and hidden within the dumps was a emoji keyboard. Given that one of the most popular downloads  is the Android 4.2 keyboard, with it’s swiping gestures.

Now XDA Senior Member blindndumb has done more digging within the dumps, and has come across another keyboard that was hidden and hasn’t yet been posted. The keyboard in question is in fact an Emoji keyboard.

Emoji characters are an extensive set of icons, most commonly used on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The keyboard is two tone black and white, and contains a large number of Emoji characters. It also has the option to switch between

10-key and QWERTY layouts.
One drawback that you should be aware of when using this keyboard, is that the swiping gestures don’t work.

In the HTC Desire S thread  [ROM][09 NOV 12][JB 4.1.2] JellyTime CM10 R27.0 | Saga Edition | BlindHawk v1.3 a post by blindndumb has two download files, Specific Desire S Flashable Zip and a  Universal Flashable Zip If you want to give the Emoji keyboard a try, check out blindndumb’s post.
Please hit the THANKS button on his post if you download it.
Thanks to THE_SCOTSMAN over at XDA

Nexus 4 is not supported in AOSP at the moment:

best price cialis

no source
files, no binaries

Which raises questions as to why a Nexus device (which generally are all AOSP) is not in the open-source project. That means it

is going to be more difficult for custom ROMs to be made due to the lack of code. Also, there does not seem to be much support for the source coming any time soon:

I can’t comment on the future of Nexus 4 in AOSP, sorry.

So for those of you who did not manage to get a Nexus 4 and love your custom ROMs, how is this going to affect your decision?

Awesome Multi-Screen Support

Android until now has just simply mirrored itself onto a second screen, now 4.2 changes this with a new presentation mode for apps where they can easily show different content on the device display, than the mirrored screen. To put this into a real-world example you could have a presentation with your notes on-screen whereas on a projector all you see is the slides. Google has well documented this, which is hopefully goingto spark a lot of developers minds into supporting this (and manufactures too!).

Lockscreen Widgets

Simply, these are available for everyone to use! It’s a case of a small XML change for most things, however developers please remember that allowing me to read SMSs on the lockscreen may be useful, I might not want to allow that. Everything is the same as the home screen widgets, and you can if you want make the widgets apply only to the lockscreen (however, only on 4.2+ as bellow the system will ignore this but there are workarounds to enable/disable them manually)

Multi-User support

Good news developers, you don’t have to do anything! It’s all baked in and tucked away, if you use the right methods. If you use a set address of “/data/data/…” or “/sdcard/” you’re going to have a hard time. Android provides you with all the right methods for this to work seamlessly so use them!

Lots of other minor things

• Better Right-T0-Left support. This is important, as not everyone in the world writes in
  cialis online pharmacy

  a Left-to-right fashion so having this ready to use is awesome

• Screensavers aka “Dreams”. Not very impressive, but hey it’s there and we might see some exciting things
• Nested Fragments. (for those that don’t know, fragments are bits of UI and/or code that can be flipped on and off and make things like tablet support easy) You can now put a fragment in a fragment which is nice
• Renderscript is updated (although I only know that YouTube uses this on tablets)

daily you will have no doubt picked up on the fact than Land of Droid joined the Land of Technology Network recently.

Originally the plan was to have Land of Droid continue as it’s very own site however following long discussions with various folk it was decided that Land of Droid would integrate with Land of Technology and become part of a “super site”.

Land of Technology will launch next Monday (19th November 2012) and on that date Land of Droid will switch over and become Land of Droid @ Land of Technology (more on this when we launch) and new posts will cease on this site.

To ensure you all continue to get the news from Land of Droid we would love it if you all could follow, like, subscribe to and circle our new home.

Land of

Technology, though very much a Technology site, will be like no other Technology site you know of today. Things will look the same but feel very different to what you are used to here at Land of Droid.

We are very excited about moving home and firstly want to thank you all for the support you have shown us here at Land of Droid and hope you will continue to support the same team (and more) when we move to Land of Technology.

PS. You won’t need to worry about being forced to read other Tech News when we move home, Land of Droid will still only cover Android – more on this when we move though.
