LockMapper app from Nokia Collection (Major News for Indian Consumers: Nokia testing Operator Billing for Lumia Devices)

 By: Unknown    04:27  Airtel, credit Card, In App, Lock, Lock screen, lumia, Map, microsoft, Microsoft India, Nokia, nokia india, Operator Billing, QR COde, Vodafone, WP, WP8   1 comment

                  

Are you someone who travels a lot.? Do you like to have different lock screen on your Windows Phone.? Well, LockMapper is an excellent app for you.

LockMapper keeps your lock screen and live tile up-to-date with a map of your current location, at all times. It constantly updates in the background, but is smart enough to only update when you have moved, and at intervals designed to pro-long battery life, and reduce bandwidth usage.

                      

                   

 Another bandwidth saver is the ability to have a mini-map that only uses 20% of the data of a full map, and allows you to use the Bing image-of-the-day, or an image of your own as the main wallpaper.

You can customize what type of map to use (road view, aerial view, weather radar), and what zoom level you want. 

While the app is free, you'll need to spend INR 20 for satellite and traffic information support.

Now here comes the interesting twist. Many Lumia users in India don't have Credit Cards. This is where Operator Billing comes into play. Nokia supported Operator Billing for Nokia Store apps. With LockMapper, consumer will notice the new style of In App purchase in their Windows Phone too. (See below)

                                 

We tried to discuss about the unannounced service on twitter and got some positive response.

           @topgunalu @RichEdmonds Yes, it is part of an initial test for In-App-Purchase.
            — Jeffrey Harmon (@jrharmon82) October 21, 2013

But keep in mind, Its just for In-App Purchase alone.


So, You can download the LockMapper app from the Nokia Collection on the Windows Phone 8 Store or use the QR Code.

GDR3 Preview for Developers - Detailed Outline of new features (Unofficial Changelog)

 By: Unknown    14:20  developer, gdr3, lumia, microsoft, Nokia, nokia india, Quad Core, WP, WP8   5 comments

We've had GDR3 preview for a few hours now and users have started to find new stuff throughout the Windows Phone OS.
If you have been up to date with the rumor mill you might know that GDR3 (now called Update 3) brings certain required features to WP devices. The update might not be as substantial as the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 Blue but is certainly welcome. Many users have updated their devices and there seem to be only a tiny few users issuing complaints/problems. Our team has had a very smooth experience and updated their devices very fast.
Let's get down with what's new

 

Support for higher resolution (1080p HD) displays
Devices with 1920x1080 resolution will be released soon and this update is the key for that
Support for bigger devices ranging from 5 to 6 inches
These devices will be able to support 6 small sized tiles instead of 4. However this will be only for the larger display devices and not in the current range of existing windows phones.
Support for quad core processors. 
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor will be supported which should make the already snappy OS even better


Rotation Lock Do we need to explain anymore?

Custom Ringtones and Tones for other events like Email, Text
Use custom ringtones for text messages, emails, voicemails, and reminders. You can also assign custom ringtones to contacts for text messages, so you'll know who's texting you without even looking.

Better storage management New storage settings make it easier to free up space on your phone and manage temporary files. A new category view shows what's taking up space at a glance.

Close apps from the Multitasking view X marks the spot

Driving Mode Driving Mode is designed to limit notifications on the lock screen—including texts, calls, and quick status alerts—until you’re safely parked. (image source WPCentral)

Wi-Fi access during setup You can now connect to Wi-Fi during phone set up, so you can start conserving cellular data right out of the box.

Improvements to Bluetooth A bunch of welcome features here

Improved Internet Sharing
Now you can pair your phone and Windows 8.1 PC or tablet over Bluetooth too and you'll be connected. No need to enter a password or dig out your phone and turn on Internet Sharing—it's done for you.

But wait there's even more good stuff :)

Changes to the Windows Phone Keyboard Now the settings allows to to return to keyboard once you've entered an emoticon

Voice note appears in the messaging hub You can now attach a voice note recorded in amr format and send it via messaging. You can see the attachments menu in the image below

Kids corner setup allows you to skip password This option is available during setting up kids corner where in it provides a button to skip password which is useful in certain cases.

The URL bar expands when activated in Internet Explorer

Overall the update has been a welcome addition to Windows Phone and we only hope more useful features are implemented soon.

 By: Unknown    15:37  lumia, lumia 1520, Nokia, nokia india, nokia lumia, Nokia lumia 1020, windows phone, WP, WP8   1 comment

The new Nokia Camera app will be available to all Windows Phone 8 Lumia phones later this year. It combines all the features of Pro Cam and Smart Cam into one app.

  

But non-Pure View phones will not get all the features of Pro Cam when switched to Pro Mode, some features will only work on Lumia 920, 925, 1020, 1520, etc.

Is it a great news for Lumia Camera users? The Amazing Pro Cam app combined with Smart Cam app will be mind-blowing app.

The Nokia Camera app is preinstalled on Lumia 1520 Phablet. Nokia will officially unveil this app on October 22 when they announce Lumia 1520.

Pro Cam and Smart Cam will be discontinued later as Nokia Camera will replace them.

Next Killer app search....

 

The Windows Phone community are working hard to develop the next Killer app which will pull users from different platforms to ours. Apps like Instagram, Vine and Flipboard are the reason why Apple iPhones are still popular. Every amazing ideas for apps are first showcased on iOS platform, then on Android and at last on Windows Phones.

 

Recently WP platform is improving its market value for the developers to notice. What I mean is Windows Phone market share is growing at a promising rate in European markets like UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. It is always overshadowing iOS marketshare in a couple of countries which is exciting news.

 

Microsoft and Nokia’s joint investment program AppCampus is giving new developers the tools to make amazing apps for the platform. AppCampus also provides training in design and usability, mobile technology and marketing support. One such App team working on a stunning app is called Project Tripod

 

So, what is Project Tripod? The startup which took two months to go from concept to product on a Windows Phone app that lets users align multiple photographs, creating the effect they were taken using a tripod. Its a app in development which allows you to use your device to take a snapshot of the same person, place or object over an undetermined length of time to produce creations such as a time-lapse or blend.

 

                    

 

                                Browse screen                                    Details screen

 
Capture Screen(left) and Map View screen

 

The team is super happy that they managed to get Patent application filed for the app idea. They even finalized designs and even started Alpha testing phase of the app. The beta testing of the app will be starting in another five weeks.

 

Can’t wait? Well the good news is that you can start taking photos now that you can upload into Project Tripod later. One of the cool things about Project Tripod is the Image Alignment software that will use photos that don’t quite align and do the magic alignment bits for you, allowing you to then have the creations made using those photos! So start taking snaps now!

 

Would you like to be a part of the Beta Program? It's not too late to sign up - go to www.ProjectTripod.com and sign up today.

Switch to your favourite Nokia Lumia in just 6 EMIs!

 By: Unknown    11:38  news, Nokia, nokia india, offer, windows phone   No comments

Last week had discussed about the Lumia Buyback offer by Nokia India. But now they have come up with another exciting offer, " Make the Big Switch. In just 6 EMIs". Now you can get the Windows Phone experience by grabbing Nokia Lumia 920 in just 6 EMIs of Rs.5,649 or a Nokia Lumia 720 in just 6 EMIs of Rs.3,203 without any down payments, zero processing fee and along with handset insurance.

Indian markets are responding well to the low end phones like Nokia Lumia 520 and Lumia 620. You can read the terms&conditions of the offer from here.

So what do you think?
