			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://levelx.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/jailbreak.jpg" rel="lightbox[4168]"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="jailbreak" border="0" alt="jailbreak" align="right" src="http://levelx.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/jailbreak_thumb.jpg" width="211" height="244" /></a>Thanks to iPhone dev team, untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 is out now. You can jailbreak your iPhone 3gs, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod Touch 3g and iPod Touch 4 running iOS 5.0.1 using RedSn0w. So if you were waiting for iOS 5 jailbreak before updating your device, now is the time to upgrade and enjoy all those cool new features like iMessage, Wi-Fi sync, iCloud etc that iOS5 offers. Jailbreaking processes is simple, enter your device into DFU mode run RedSn0w and follow the instructions.</p>
<p>From iPhone-Dev Blog</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li>The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G</li>
<li>If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now!&#160; The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1&#160; If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW!&#160; See the guides at places like <a href="http://iclarified.com/">iClarified.com</a> if you don’t know how.&#160; Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.</li>
<li>If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.&#160; The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.</li>
<li>Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.&#160; If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!&#160; You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.&#160; Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though iOS 4 comes with multitasking support, but if you are playing a music video that you want to listen in background, minimizing the YouTube app by pressing the home key or turning off the screen stops playback.</p>

<p><span id="more-4146"></span></p>
<p>However with the following trick you can stream YouTube videos in background while being able to browse the web, checking email or do other fun stuff.</p>
<p>All  you have to do is, close the video once it starts playing by pressing home key. Double tap on home key to open multitasking tray. Swipe to multitasking tray to right to bring audio controls. You will see YouTube app icon and audio controls. Just click the play button and audio from YouTube video will resume playback.</p>

While searching for a solution on internet, I found following method that worked (thanks to xda forums). </p>
<p>This method can work for any rooted android device, all you have to do is to set correct <strong>full40</strong> value depending on the charge capacity of your device’s battery.</p>
<p><span id="more-4141"></span>
<p>&#160;</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Use the <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=net.jonrichards.batterycalibrator.ui&amp;feature=order_history" target="_blank">battery calibrator app</a> v.1.3.0 to do the following:       <br />a. Open the app and go to menu&gt;settings and check all boxes. Auto-on airplane mode is optional       <br />b. set your age to 100 using the battery app under the Learn Prep tab and press Save</p>
<p>c. set your full40 to 1400mAh in the same tab if using the stock capacity OEM battery and press Save      <br />NOTE: set your full40 to 1650mAh or higher if using an aftermarket battery and save       <br />2. In the Learn Prep tab:       <br />a. set your aEvolts to 3201 (type on each line: Register:0x <b>66</b> Value: <b>a4</b> and <u>press save</u>)       <br />b. set your stop charging current to &lt;20mA (Register:0x <b>65</b> Value: <b>06</b> and <u>press save</u>)       <br />c. if Capacity/mAh drops to near empty prior to 3201mV being reached, the app will <u>automatically raise capacity by 200mAh </u>so phone doesn&#8217;t auto-shutdown prior to reaching 3201mV       <br />3. Achieving Learn Mode with the app:       <br />a. turn learn mode on in Learn Mode tab       <br />NOTE: to hit learn mode you must keep your current mA above -200mA draw at the empty point! The app will <u>automatically enable GPS polling</u> to keep you above the required minimum current draw.       <br />b. wait for mV to drop to 3201mV (the learn mode pop-up box will appear &amp; learnf button will light up)       <br />c. insert charger <b>IMMEDIATELY</b>! (You will see a pop-up message saying Learn Mode is active.)       <br />d. turn off and close any open apps you have running, but leave Battery Calibrator open.       <br />e. put phone into airplane mode so that you don’t get unexpected current draw near the full point.       <br />f. set SetCPU profile to disable overclocking. (set min/max to the same value, ie. 998\998max) (skip if setCPU is not installed)       <br />g. <b>charge for a full 4 hrs </b>with stock battery and screen off, 5 hrs for larger capacity batteries.       <br />NOTE: if you want to, you can actually use your phone until the charge reaches 80-90%, then use airplane mode and <b>DO NOT </b>touch the phone, peek, turn on the screen&#8230;.DO NOTHING but walk away till time is up.       <br />h. unplug and reboot, your new age should be set automatically. Learn is now complete and your phone should now charge to 100% and die at 0-1%. Also, some have reported having to manually power down/power up with the new app to have age reset by the application. If age isn’t change upon reboot, try power off/power on.       <br />4. Learn Failure:       <br />If your new age shows 94% upon rebooting, then learn mode failed and you need to do it again, paying close attention as charging nears 80% and above. This is where learn mode can be lost by rogue apps, auto-updates, calls, etc pulling the current down below the minimum prematurely.       <br />Note1: As current gets close to &lt;50-60mA don&#8217;t touch the phone or you may artificially increase the current draw pulling it below 20mA and it will end the learn cycle prematurely. Airplane mode helps prevent that.       <br />Note2: Learn mode cannot be achieve with the phone off. Leave the phone on until learn is complete and the battery status register shows 0&#215;81. Done!       <br /><b><u>How to perform a Capacity Test for your battery. Credit goes to the infamous Temasek!</u></b>       <br />Prepare for another learn cycle       <br />This time we will do what I call a capacity test.       <br />Perform another learn cycle.       <br />Once cycle completed do not reboot. Check your battery log using an app like OS Monitor. See your highest achieved capacity at 99-100% before it completed its charge. The capacity should drop below your full40. Read the log properly. The highest achieved capacity before it drop below your full40 will be your new full40 value.       <br />With your new full40 value, perform yet another learn cycle.       <br />Enjoy your new calibrated battery!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://levelx.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/belle.jpg" rel="lightbox[4137]"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Nokia Belle" border="0" alt="Nokia Belle" align="right" src="http://levelx.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/belle_thumb.jpg" width="93" height="162" /></a> Today, Nokia unveiled latest update to its Symbian 3 OS named Symbian Belle that put Nokia in head to head competition with current smartphone market leaders Android and iOS. But Nokia should have released this OS around two years ago when smartphone war was about to start, not now when Nokia has almost lost it. The new OS brings UI and performance improvements, gorgeous new widgets, more customization options, more apps and built-in NFC functionality. All these updates make this OS visually similar to Android and is enough to keep Nokia fans happy for some time until they realize the need for all those awesome apps already available for other platforms. Checkout the UI demo video. </p>

</div>
<p><span id="more-4137"></span><br />
<h3><strong>Detailed new features and improvements: </strong></h3>
<blockquote><p><strong>More homescreens</strong>: with Symbian Belle the maximum number of homescreens rises from three to six, so now you can have absolutely everything close at hand</p>
<p><strong>Improved status bar</strong>: the status bar sports a modern, flat look and incorporates a pull down notifications tab that incorporates common settings and notification of incoming messages, missed calls and the rest.</p>
<p><strong>Modernised navigation</strong>: the navigation and options bar at the bottom of the screen sports a modern, new look, similar to that first seen on the Nokia N9.</p>
<p><strong>New apps</strong>: a new suite of powerful business apps from Microsoft includes Lync (IM for businesses, like Microsoft Communicator), Sharepoint, OneNote, Exchange ActiveSync and PowerPoint Broadcaster.</p>
<p><strong>Informative lock screen</strong>: the lock screen now tells you about missed calls, messages in your inbox and more, so you can check your phone at a glance. You can now also add a colored wallpaper to your lock screen.</p>
<p><strong>NFC devices</strong>: With Symbian Belle, Near-Field Communications (NFC) is now deeply integrated into the operating system, so you can share pictures, connect with accessories, and check-in – all with just a tap.</p>
<p><strong>Visual multitasking</strong>: Now you can flick between larger live images of your open apps to see what’s going on at a glance and move quickly between your apps.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The update will be available on Nokia N8, E7, C7, C6-01, X7, E6 and 500 and new models in coming months with Symbian Belle.</p>
