Nokia’s Featured HERE Maps Coming To Android, Exclusive To Samsung Devices For Now

If any of you have ever used a Lumia mobile, you may have some experience with Nokia’s fantastic HERE Maps app. The application is similar to Google Maps in that features advanced turn-by-turn navigation and downloadable maps. Samsung turns away from Google Maps, embraces Here Maps for it's Galaxy Phones instead!

Nokia announced recently that they would be bringing the app to Samsung’s line of Tizen-powered Gear devices for turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation. However, the fun doesn’t end there as Nokia has announced that HERE Maps will soon be available for Android, although for now it will be exclusive to Samsung devices.

Google Maps are one of the main strengths of Android OS and in an increasingly surprising turn of events, we come to know that Samsung will be using Nokia's Here maps instead of the traditional Google Maps for it's Galaxy phones running Android.

HERE Maps is a fantastic application which has a number of advantages over the competition. Notably, it supports offline navigation using the phone’s built-in GPS, and allows you to download over 200 maps to your device’s local storage. HERE Maps also works seamlessly with Glimpse and they claim all features of HERE Maps will be available in offline mode on Android (except traffic information, presumably).

Dubbed "Here for Android", these maps will be available exclusively for Galaxy devices but in a Beta version when the Gear S smartwatch arrives in stores.

One thing I want to clear before starting the process, this method doesn’t work with Windows Phone from HTC, Samsung or another phone maker.

Fallow these steps:

Step 1. Download and install Nokia Software Recovery Tool to your computer. If possible, make sure that your phone is fully charged.

Step 2. Start Nokia Software Recovery Tool, and connect your phone to your computer with a compatible USB cable. If prompted, select the correct USB mode on your phone: Nokia Suite or Modem.

Step 3. Follow the instructions shown on the tool. The latest version of your phone software will be installed, and your phone will restored back to the factory settings. This process may take some time depending on your internet connection, and you cannot use your phone during the installation.

If your phone is not starting or appears to be stuck, you can also recover your phone with “My phone does not start up or respond option” (only available for Windows Phone 8 models).

Still if it is showing errors or getting issues on start-up, then I would recommend you to go for repairing from an authenticated. Nokia Care is the best place.

For Android Mobile 4.2 and above

If you’re having an android device with running Android 4.2 and above, you might be searched for the developer options in your mobile. But in the latest versions of android, Google has hidden the developer options so that people with less knowledge won’t mess up their devices.

Fallow these steps:-

1. Go to Settings menu on your device.
2. Go to About submenu. In some devices the About submenu will be under “More”/”General” submenu. On some other devices (mostly HTC devices you will have to goto Settings> About> Software Information> More)
3. Now scroll to “Build Number” and tap it 7 times.
4. After tapping 7 times you will see an alert saying “You are now a developer”/”Developer mode has been enabled”.
5. Now if you go to your Settings menu, you will see the developer options submenu over there.
6. Tap on the Developer options and then turn on USB Debugging.

Let me know if you have any doubts in comment section.

What Are The Smart Phone Sensors? – Every Smart Phone User Should Know Before Buying

Mobile Phone Sensors

Modern smart phones come with a variety of sensors that automate or easy many of our daily tasks.Here in this post I am explaining sensors on your smart phone.

Ambient light Sensor:

Ambient Light sensors are used to adjust the brightness of the screen that saves battery power. 

Proximity or Light Sensor:

The proximity sensor is common on most smart-phones. The primary function of a proximity sensor is to disable accidental touch events. For example the ear coming in contact with the screen and generating touch events, while on a call.

To overcome this issue, device manufacturers came up with the idea of a placing a proximity sensor close to the speaker, which will then detect any object in the vicinity of the speaker. If any object is present (ex. user's ear), then the touch events can be assumed to be accidental & ignored. Proximity sensor measures the distance between two objects, usually the device screen and our hands/face etc.

The proximity Sensors useful to detect how close the screen of the phone is to your body.The proximity sensor detects, the user holds the phone to her face to speak. In this case the touch screen and keys are disabled to prevent from accidentally being pressed also to save the power when the screen is turned off.This allows the phone to perform simple forms of context recognition associated with the user interface. Besides it is useful for detecting towers and sources of interference.

NOTE:  You can test the effect of Proximity sensor by moving your hand forward and backward in front of the device.

Accelerometer Sensor:

Accelerometer sensor is applied to detect device directions, i.e. auto rotate screen when the device is rotated vertically. It is also widely used in game development.

Accelerometer Sensor helps to improve user interface and use of the camera. They automatically determine the between a landscape and portrait view also correctly orient captured photos during viewing on the phone. When you rotate your device sideways, the Web browser automatically switches the screen to landscape mode so you can view wider space. The camera relies on the accelerometer to tell whether you are taking a picture in portrait or landscape mode.

 

Gyroscope Sensor: 

Gyroscopes are used in Smart phones and tablet PCs for finding the position and orientation of devices. Gyroscope sensor can measure six directions at a time. You will be able to see the effects immediately by rotating your phone slightly. Now Gyroscope sensor is mostly used in 3D game development, and possibly indoor navigation in future.

Accelerometer and gyroscope Difference

Accelerometers in mobile phones are used to detect the orientation of the phone. The gyroscope adds an additional dimension to the information supplied by the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist.

An accelerometer measures linear acceleration of movement, while a gyro on the other hand measures the angular rotational velocity. Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things.

In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but will not be able to resolve its lateral orientation or tilt during that movement accurately unless a gyro is there to fill in that info.

With an accelerometer you can either get a really "noisy" info output that is responsive, or you can get a "clean" output that's sluggish. But when you combine the 3-axis accelerometer with a 3-axis gyro, you get an output that is both clean and responsive in the same time."

Compass Sensor:

The compass helps to make awareness of its position in relation to the physical world to enhance location-based applications.

The digital compass that's usually based on a sensor called magnetometer provides mobile phones with a simple orientation in relation to the Earth's magnetic field. As a result, your phone always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate your digital maps depending on your physical orientation.

 GPS:

The GPS, which allows the phone to localize itself, enables new location-based applications such as local search, mobile social networks, and navigation.

GRIP Sensor:

The grip sensor technology allows the user to grip the bottom of the phone to activate the display. It uses pattern recognition techniques for identifying the users’ hand grips from the touch sensors.

Barometer Sensor or Pressure Sensors:

The barometer Sensor is used to measure air or atmospheric pressure and indicate its rising or falling. The usage is to forecast the weather. Variations in atmospheric pressure can be predicted.

 G-Sensor:

The G-sensor can control the smart phone, by changing its position in space making the necessary functions more convenient and simple. For example with the help of G-sensor user can take an incoming call simply by shaking the smartphone and no need to search for a button.

Temperature Sensor
Temperature sensor provides information about your device temperature, thus you can take action when the temp is too low or high.
