A simple "Update Adam" from Settings and adam does everything for you. <br /><br />Few noticeable changes (minor ones as most of the major changes are already covered by Greg <a href="http://www.notioninkfan.com/2011/02/another-new-update-application-switcher.html"> in his post.</a><br /><br />1. The startup screen showing the notionink logo is now changed to white background with black text "notionink".<br />2. The notification bar icon in the upper left corner does not have the black background any more and does not flash.<br />3. Update removed Android market from the list of apps, but still kept the other apps intact. Will try the NIH market update tomorrow.<br />4. Once you have updated the build number would be NIP20140211 for PQ + 3G. I assume this is different for each variant. The mail from notion ink did mention four different build numbers to start this update on. So that gives an impression that each variant uses a different build number.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LL3llaKssJk/TVm5_6ViddI/AAAAAAAAgKc/hkfU_mV4XVs/s1600/IMAG0271.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LL3llaKssJk/TVm5_6ViddI/AAAAAAAAgKc/hkfU_mV4XVs/s320/IMAG0271.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573690521490191826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fRSRnx0BdPI/TVm6Aeo1gxI/AAAAAAAAgKs/MCM8mF-UjaY/s1600/IMAG0276.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fRSRnx0BdPI/TVm6Aeo1gxI/AAAAAAAAgKs/MCM8mF-UjaY/s320/IMAG0276.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573690531234808594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Esw_aZp086c/TVm6Aj3snWI/AAAAAAAAgK0/hZT1P0-cInw/s1600/IMAG0277.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Esw_aZp086c/TVm6Aj3snWI/AAAAAAAAgK0/hZT1P0-cInw/s320/IMAG0277.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573690532639317346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2QgLOghbOkE/TVm6AIEAyaI/AAAAAAAAgKk/_ntx3KosHPQ/s1600/IMAG0274.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2QgLOghbOkE/TVm6AIEAyaI/AAAAAAAAgKk/_ntx3KosHPQ/s320/IMAG0274.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573690525174778274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zSUytSOyrvY/TVm6AjeJYnI/AAAAAAAAgK8/5XIkXcFNVG0/s1600/IMAG0278.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zSUytSOyrvY/TVm6AjeJYnI/AAAAAAAAgK8/5XIkXcFNVG0/s320/IMAG0278.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573690532532150898" /></a>tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-48845735344208484362011-02-05T14:07:00.000-08:002011-02-05T14:48:07.296-08:00Adam - New Update (NIP20040211) and Update 1.03 from NotionInkHacks<span style="font-weight:bold;">Time for another update</span><br /><br />I was very happy that the update process this time was more stable and more tested. The update process itself with instructions has been posted by <a href="http://www.notioninkfan.com/2011/02/update-your-adam.html">NotionInkFan</a>, <a href="http://notioninkhacks.com/index.php/2011/02/05/get-the-latest-update-for-your-notion-ink-adam/">NotionInkHacks</a>, etc. The fact I am happy about is that NotionInk mailed all adam owners that a new update is available with detailed instructions and a good summary of changes included in the update. This is a major step in the right direction. Of course this might not be new or innovative but it dos show that team NI has put in a real effort to overcome the short comings. Rohan and team should be appreciated for this move.<br /><br />The update itself for fairly simple to install. The manual does provide all the necessary steps.<br /><br />The important part is that after the update adam feels much better. There are not much force close like before. The Eden UI (Panels) seems more responsive and quick. <br /><br />Next obvious step was to look for Root + Market and as always friends at NotionInkHacks had update 1.03 ready. Tried it immediately and the update was quick and simple. (Hardly took couple of minutes)<br /><br />Reboot and there it is android market. Also the google account setup in the market worked with no problems. (In the earlier updates it was difficult to configure and sometimes needed a work around with youtube app)<br /><br />Updates about some apps:<br /><br />1. Tried Tango for video calls - The audio call itself works great. When I switch to video, within couple of seconds the call gets disconnected. Have reported this to support at NI.<br /><br />2. Tried couple of benchmarks like Neocore and Quadrant. <span style="font-weight:bold;">No</span> major improvements/degradations noticed. Didn't expect any improvements in this area.<br /><br />More updates to come tomorrow.tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-64393439641485474632011-01-31T12:26:00.001-08:002011-01-31T12:28:26.582-08:00GPS on Adam with Google mapsToday in the train, I tried working with Google maps GPS enabled.

Even though there is a FC on the Eden UI once in a while, the frequency is much low.<br /><br />I was able to install many apps and test them. Surprisingly, I didn't find Google maps, Facebook app, Twitter app in market. I had to extract apk from my HTC Desire and then run it on Adam. But I must say after that Adam is a great device. <br /><br />I tried couple of VOIP apps as well. <br /><br />1. <a href="http://www.sipdroid.org">SIPDroid </a>- Worked fine with configuration but the call could not be diverted to speaker. It only worked with a headphone. The mic seems to be a good one as I was able to hold it normally and was able to speak.<br /><br />2. <a href="http://www.fring.com/android/">Fring </a>- Worked great with SIP configuration. Call output could be diverted to speaker and call quality was great on wifi and 3g.<br /><br />Few applications extracted from phone only worked in portrait mode (They don't switch to landscape mode). This was mainly seen in config/settings screens in few applications. <br /><br />Having no widgets is a shame in the eden UI. But I guess the idea is to have a Panels instead of Widgets. May be someone can make a Panel app which can work as a place holder for multiple widgets. That would become a must have on adam the moment it's developed.<br /><br />Google goggles seem to close after couple of seconds with no use. Need to find from other adam users, if anyone else experienced the same. (This was also not available on market and had to extract from phone, so it could be a problem with the apk as well)<br /><br />Few other applications that worked fine:<br /><br />1. ES File manager and ES Task manager<br />2. Astro File Manager<br />3. Facebook (Official android app)<br />4. Google Skymap<br />5. Google maps v5+<br />6. Google Earth<br />7. Robo Defense<br />8. Twitter (Official Android app)<br />9. Yotube App<br />10. WhatsApp<br />11. Winamp<br />12. Wordup<br />13. Google Latitude<br />14. GPS Status<br />15. Free Running<br />16. Dolphin Browser<br />17. Benchmark Pi - After Submitting the score was placed 600+ in the rankings. Not a bad score for stock ROM.<br />18. Air Control Lite (Had problems with audio)<br />19. Chrome to phone<br />20. Dolphin Browser<br />21. Adobe Flash 10.1<br />22. Parleys Client<br />23. Wikitude<br /><br />Apps related to Netherlands:<br /><br />1. 9292ov pro (For public transport users)<br />2. Trein Tijden Lite (Much quicker app compared to the official NS app)<br />3. Appie van Albert Heijn<br />4. Saldo app from ABNAMRO<br /><br />If anyone has any app that needs to be tested, you can contact me through comments on this post and I will try to test it on adam.<br /><br />PS: After the update from NotioninkHacks for the market access, I was getting the following error when I tried to setup Google account.<br />"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"<br />If any of you encounter the problem, it could most likely be solved by using the Youtube app to configure google account and then launching market. <br /><br />Refer: <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780545">http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780545</a><br /><br />Big thanks to team Notioninkhacks for all their support in resolving this issue.<br /><br />UPDATE:<br /><br />Couple of benchmark results:<br /><br />1. Neocore - 48.5 fps<br /><br />2. Quadrant score - 2175tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-84960320393262698322011-01-24T12:19:00.000-08:002011-01-25T09:08:31.243-08:00Notion Ink Adam UpdatesFirst impressions:<br /><br />1. The build looks sturdy and strong. No glare (PQ Display)<br />2. The default memory available is 5.54 GB. (After the first boot)<br />3. Yet to try any accessories.<br />4. The power adapter has US style pins. This is a shame for people in EU as here its mostly different. Since the adapter can work 100-240V, I guess we could use a pin converter.<br />5. Facebook app does not seem to connect. Have to investigate more. (Not updated adam software yet. Just out of the box)<br /><br />6. I had a pin converter already and it worked great. Now adam is charging.<br />7. Saw the Force close window few times in different apps.<br />8. No market or Genesis yet. (I have just started Adam update. It’s ~82mb file. Download in progress)<br />9. I tried my phone SIM card. 3G worked fine. SMS also works. No phone calls.<br />10. It comes installed with Nimbuzz.<br />11. Side loading of the apps possible. I will post more later about it. Still experimenting.<br /><br />If you have used an android phone before, the settings are no different so getting used to is a smooth walk.<br /><br />All in all good experience so far. But there is a lag once in a while. I hope the software update will fix that.<br /><br />Haven’t had sun light after I received it (I am in Netherlands where sun light seems to be a rarity in this time of the year), so can’t test the potential of the PQ screen yet. <br /><br /><br />12. I uploaded a video of side loaded Angry Birds game play <br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpeZc5rbVXs">Angry Birds on Notion Ink Adam</a><br />13. Initially there was no sound in Angry Birds but a reboot helped to get sound as well.<br />14. Video playback with a mp4 worked fine.<br />15. USB drive with 640GB was not recognized. Need to see the file format of the drive. Could have been NTFS so that might explain.<br />16. If anyone has the latest appbrain apk, can you please pass on? I cna try appbrain as well then.<br />17. Till now major bugs/force closes I have seen are with:<br />a. Panel interface (Home screen package)<br />b. Browser<br />Both seem to be NI developed. All android core components seem to be working fine.<br /><br />Will try Dolphin and Opera on it and post back results.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">UPDATE:</span><br />1. Tried Dolphin browser - Except the installer screen rest of them worked fine. Installer screen was for some reason did not work in landscape mode.<br />2. Opera 10 - Works ok. But web pages seem like blown-up pages from mobile. Dolphin and the default are better in this area.<br />3. External SDHC with a USB card reader (8GB) worked great. Was able to play movies as well from this storage with no lag.<br />4. Tried NFS but didn't seem to render all the graphics so the game was not playable.<br />5. AppBrain apk I got was redirecting all install actions to market for some reason hence did not work fine.<br />6. After a few reboots, the force close windows seem to be lesser in frequency. Very rarely I saw a force close in the past few hours.<br /><br />Mail from NI about the update:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Greetings form the Notion Ink Support Team !!<br /><br /><br />The Update has been removed from our systems for now we would be informing you once the new update is out.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for your continued support to Notion Ink!<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">UPDATE2:</span><br />1. Exchange sync worked with no problems (I had to use manual setup)<br />2. html5test reuslts:<br /><br /> a. Default browser - 176 points and no bonus points.<br /> b. Dolphin browser HD (v 4.2) - 176 points and no bonus points.<br /> c. Opera Mobile 10.1 - 72 points and no bonus points.<br /><br /> I tried the same on the browser on my HTC Desire and the result was same.tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-47983713234948153532009-06-21T16:37:00.000-07:002009-06-22T02:42:50.882-07:00Finally dug out Digsby<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZE28yj9dlgw/Sj7Gnr9jwLI/AAAAAAAAVHw/uw48OmReQeA/s1600-h/SystemTray.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 25px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZE28yj9dlgw/Sj7Gnr9jwLI/AAAAAAAAVHw/uw48OmReQeA/s320/SystemTray.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349931792480846002" /></a><br />Usually, in my Google chrome, I always have at least 5-6 tabs open to check my mails, social networking updates. Earlier I used to have more to follow regular News and updates. Now I have configured the breaking news as Twitter updates, and hence I rely on the Twits.<br /><br />Even then, having so many tabs open and regularly checking them is still a lot of work. So I started off with a quest to find a smart utility which would allow me to combine all. Found this in the first page of <a href="http://www,google.com">Google</a> and <a href="http://www.bing.com">Bing</a> search results:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.digsby.com">Digsby</a> is a IM/Email/Social Networking client which supports:<br /><br /> Email: Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, POP and IMAP<br /> IM: GTalk, Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Jabber, Facebook chat<br /> Social Networking: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn<br /><br />You can set-up all your accounts in one client, and Digsby will provide alerts on your desktop.

The answer is right there. How Stuff Works has a good and detailed write-up on <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/gps.htm">how GPS works</a>.<br /><br />The advent of Internet has given us so much stuff right inside your home. Imagine, the TV ad which used to show, all animals from the Zoo sitting next to you. Internet has also done the same, but not only animals but lot of unwanted stuff too!!!<br /><br />Way back in the 90's, Napster brought a popular concept called Peer-to-Peer network to our homes. Being the 1st generation of its kind, Napster relied on a Central server technology. This made it easier for the goons to turn it off.<br />2nd generation of P2P was started by Gnutella community, which was more of a word-of-mouth or a telephone like concept, where in user groups talked to each other with common links and tried to find information. Even though this was hard to be brought down, it was characterized by slow search results and also isolated user groups that could never connect to the rest of the world.<br />3rd Generation of this network known as "Fasttrack" (I am sure you would not have heard this name) is more popularly known by the clients that connect to this network. viz., Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster and so on. Fasttrack has quite big number of enhancements and has introduced the concept of Super nodes, spawning and has tried to converge different ways of communication to this network.<br />All these generations, had go through a Legal war. As these networks were a big threat for the music industry in particular and copy righted material at large.<br /><br />Of course, the legal battle has started for copy righted material. But who can stop users from using this to share information. (Not copy righted, duh!!!)<br /><br />Navizon, a product of Mexens Technology is a Peer-to-Peer wireless positioning software.<br />As with every GPS software, Navizon also works with GPS receivers. Navizon tries to apply the concept of P2P in using GPS as well. Like how in any P2P media sharing tools mentioned above, at least one user has to introduce the song that you are looking for into the network, let's say by ripping it from CD or borrowing it from a friend, Navizon also expects user with GPS receivers to share information. Then the information obtained about various Wireless access points, Cellular towers through these GPS devices, Navizon hosts a virtual GPS system for people with out GPS receivers.<br /><br />The company also claims that, the users who share will get rewarded as every user of the virtual GPS has to pay a nominal fee of USD 24.99.<br /><br />More information about Navizon and how it works can be found at :<br /><br /><a href="http://www.navizon.com/index.asp">http://www.navizon.com/index.asp</a><br /><br />Let's say this is the first generation of a real virtual GPS system, so Navizon also follows the tradition and tries to work on a Central server system. But I am sure the goons, may not have any issue or legal war with respect to this, because the day your GPS coordinates become copyrighted, you will not be yourself anymore!!!<br /><br />© Not reserved.tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-90158034576230713212008-01-19T18:53:00.000-08:002008-11-12T19:27:29.266-08:00LEMONADE - The other meaning!!!Lemonade - As we all know is a refreshing, cool drink.

I bought this new gadget on my way to Amsterdam in the Lufthansa inflight sale.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZE28yj9dlgw/R5KpqmYln1I/AAAAAAAAEps/d58H02LWbrk/s1600-h/IMAGE_078.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157371072615915346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZE28yj9dlgw/R5KpqmYln1I/AAAAAAAAEps/d58H02LWbrk/s320/IMAGE_078.jpg" border="0" /></a> AKITA Solar Charge. As all new products, it is also "Made in CHINA".<br /><br />The device is quite handy, and gave me some surprises after I started reading the manual.<br />I have not been able to use it still, thanks to the most <em>unpredictable dutch weather</em>. But I plan to test this as soon as I reach some country where weather prediction is really accurate. (I think, I have to go to some make-believe place)<br /><br />Advantage of this device is that, it can store the charge for upto 5 weeks and this might come in handy when you are going to places where you don't expect electricity. Although such places are less in the inhabited places of the world, this might come in handy in one of those camping or "jungle" trips which you might want to take.<br /><br />It even has variety of connectors for different mobile models.<br /><br />I believe it still has some value for money and will let you know, when I really use it.tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864126964148452720.post-48807045314735664252007-12-27T01:49:00.000-08:002007-12-27T02:10:31.666-08:00My First Blog!!!Finally, I decided that I try out blogs too...<br /><br />Being a big fan of <a href="http://www.zdnet.com">ZDNET</a> blogs, I thought, it's time I start something on my own. The name "tech-lemonade" combines two things that I like the most. I don't think I need to explain the two things...<br /><br />Lemonade, in its uncarbonated form, is among the oldest of commercial soft drinks, dating at least back to the 17th century.<br />A popular quote by <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/d/dale_carnegie.html">Dale Carnegie </a>is,<br /><em>"When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade"</em>.<br /><br />The way lemondae gives you a refreshingly cool experience, let's try to make the same with refreshingly cool tech stuff...<br /><br />Check back soon for cool stuff...tech-lemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985333419538016noreply@blogger.com3
