How to make your smartphone faster

                 How to make your smartphone faster

Here are the top 5 tips to make your phone run faster:

1) Use only essential widgets on your homescreen – each widget consumes memory and processing power which can slow your down your phone.

2) Uninstall apps that you don’t use – after awhile your phone can get cluttered as some Apps are designed to always run in the background. If you rarely use an App, then uninstall it to free up memory and CPU resource.

3) Install Apps to your phone memory – if you have an SDCard, always install Apps to the phone memory, which can be accessed faster. If you have Apps on the SDCard, then move them back to the phone memory with an App called Move2SD available from the Play Market.

4) Use Static rather than Live wallpapers – Live wallpapers consume processing power and memory. Unless you really must have them, uninstall them.

5) Kill tasks occasionally – Some Apps will run in the background indefinitely unless you kill them. Most of them won’t cause a problem, but it pays to check your running tasks from time to time. Hold down your Home key and check the Task Manager.

6) Don’t use Task Killers. Android manages tasks very well and Task Killers just make your phone unstable and can slow it down further.

Digital India Week - DoT announces solar powered WiFi

Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT), the premier research and development wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has announced initiatives to set up solar-powered WiFi stations in India.

Launched at the Digital India Week, the C-DoT will use existing National Optical Fiber Network along with its own technology to provide internet via wifi to remote sections of the nation. Solar-powered wifi can be used to set up cellular base stations, station controllers, servers and ATM stations via hotspots. It will operate via 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands. Owing to its independency from mechanical power supply, it will be able to provide more consistent and wider internet connectivity across remote areas.

The Indian Government has pledged to increase solar power generation up to 20,000 MW by 2022. Companies like Softbank, Bharti and Foxconn have stated $20bn of investment behind solar power ventures in India. With solar power generation on the rise, this project by C-DoT will enhance internet connectivity reaches even the remotest sections of India.
