These things are like tides in the ocean, they come and go. Just like big nations, they rise and fall. No need to become overly 'nationalistic' and nit-pick at the faults of other giants in the same arena... ultimately they will ALL fall and perish, just like the hands holding them. Sad that we build things to outlive us and then build so many of them that they just litter landfills (for the west, they are usually shipped off to some other land - out of sight, out of mind - or, some bohemian types try to 'reuse' them by making jewelry and capitalist types then take it up to make more... only to end up in local landfills... oh the irony).
My 2 dirhams. The carrier pigeon is taking a much needed break.
True, but it's not only one particular brand I'm knocking ;-)
I try to give the pros and cons of what's available now so readers can benefit from a halal site and not go to sites where things aren't exactly decent with haram ads all over the place.
It's also educational for those looking to upgrade.
It's technology such as these that Allah has used to bring us closer to him.

HTC One Top 5 Camera Issues and Easy Solutions to Fix Them All
But I don't seem to have any, promise.
HTC One features an "ultrapixel" rear camera for better image and video capturing. Unfortunately, the camera technology on HTC One is plagued with several issues and few of them are just too severe to endure. Here are the top common problems and quick fixes on HTC One camera.
Blue/Purple/Red Noise
Some users reported that blue, purple or red noise is noticeable on HTC One camera shooting under low-light conditions.
Solutions:
1.����� Lower down the ISO configuration to reduce camera's sensitivity to light and reduces noise or grain.
2.����� If manual settings inside the camera don't help, have it replaced to your retailer. It may have been a hardware issue.
Camera Not Loading
In case the camera app fails to load or crashes, you may simply clear the data or cache of the app from the Settings menu.
Solutions:
1.����� Go to 'Settings > Applications > Camera > Clear Data/Cache.'
2.����� If clearing the cache doesn't fix the problem, force close the camera app then reboot your smartphone.
3.����� If all solutions failed, a software update from HTC may have the bug fix.
No HDR Mode
If you have updated your HTC One which removed the High Dynamic Range or HDR mode, recheck for another software release that brings back HDR mode. Go to "Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check now."
Purple Haze
Purple Haze bug on HTC One is one of the biggest camera problems ever known and only expected to change after Android 4.3 Jelly Bean reached the device. Constantly check for an update on your phone which may contain the solution regarding Purple Haze issue or have the device replaced from a service centre.
Not Enough Memory
Sometimes, the camera app won't load due to memory problems which can be fixed easily.
Solutions:
1.����� Double tap the "home" key then slide tiles off the screen to close apps running on the background.
2.����� Another solution is to reboot the smartphone to free memory on the RAM.
3.����� Use the "back" key when leaving apps instead of the "home" button to prevent running tasks clogging on the RAM.
The advantage is in the swanky slide keyboard. Something sorely missing on all these newer models (i and H alike). See, it all depends on the angle you look at the issue from.
Oops, should've checked before I made the 'smart' comment eh!
All said and done, when I'm ready for a new hand-me-down, I will look for someone looking to sell or give away their used (and by then obsolete) HTC insha'Allah. All this talk has definitely made me curious.
(and not the BBQd one that was tossed out of the huge red bus/rv a couple of times.)
Guys don't get brainwashed into buying a HTC or Android. There's plenty in the market and at reasonable prices. The main thing here is not to get duped into buying an overpriced piece of equipment.
Arabic fonts are available on all the latest Android phones as well as iPhone and Windows phones.
QWERTY-Keyboard Makes a Comeback With LG's Optimus F3Q Headed to T-Mobile
The QWERTY-Keyboard practically gave birth to Android, with the T-Mobile G1 and the Motorola DROID delivering great experiences to casual users as well as those with a penchant for physical keyboards. It's also no secret that Android devices sporting physical keyboards helped ween people off of their BlackBerries. The DROID line now however, is all but dead with the DROID 4 lazing around on Verizon with no successor in sight. It's clear that these devices are a rare breed these days, with super-accurate touch screens and brilliant typing experiences both from Android itself and third-party apps. Those on T-Mobile however, are about to be given one more option.
Thanks to�@evleaks�we know that a new LG device is coming to T-Mobile and as you can plainly see in the above photo, the keyboard is back. There's no word on pricing, specs or when to expect the device but, judging the Optimus F moniker, we shouldn't expect much on the specs front. The Optimus F3 launched on Virgin Mobile earlier this year with a 4-inch IPS Display, a dual-core 1.2 Ghz CPU and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. There's a chance that this is simply the qwerty version of that very device which would make a lot of sense, and QWERTY-keyboard devices haven't really packed the latest and greatest specs since the original Motorola DROID which was quickly overshadowed by the Nexus One.
No matter what though, choice is a nice thing to have and if T-Mobile and LG are ready to give customers the QWERTY choice once more, then good for them. For older users and those that were practically raised on a BlackBerry, this might be a welcome change. It'll all come down to both specs and pricing, hopefully LG have beefed up the specs from the original Optimus F3 and with the Moto G starting at just $179, it had better be affordable.
So they kept sister Acacia in mind when designing this new handset. But it's not an HTC, oh well, never mind.
Windows Phone Could Overtake iOS In Three Years Time According To Forbes
6 December 2013 , By Blake Stimac
Since its debut in late 2010, Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system has failed to make a splash the tech giant might have wanted. Even with the great handsets from Nokia, the OS has yet to make the gains the world has seen from Android and iOS. Well, according to Forbes, Microsoft's mobile OS could overtake Apple's iOS in as little as three years.
It's true that Windows Phone has seen impressive year over year growth, but idea that it will overtake iOS in the coming years is a pill that's a bit hard to swallow. Unsurprisingly, Nokia's Windows Phone handsets have been the most popular models running the operating system, which offer some of the best cameras you can find on a smartphone. Still, it's pretty telling when the best part of a smartphone has nothing to do with the core operating system it runs on.
Windows Phone is currently the fastest growing mobile operating system around, and came in at 3.6% of the market by the 3rd quarter of 2013, where Android and iOS ended the quarter with 81% and 12.9%. Windows Phone has seen the greatest gain in emerging markets, and this is a key to its success.
While Windows Phone could eventually overtake Apple by sheer volume, we have our doubts that it will be in three years. Even if it does overtake Apple's mobile operating system in the next few years, that still doesn't translate to money earned, though that's not the point Forbes is trying to make here. Only time will tell.
If you're an Android or iOS user, what would it take for you to buy a Windows Phone handset as your next smartphone purchase?
Personally, I think Windows have done an awesome thing.
With this setup, a Windows PC user can do "EXACTLY" the same things on their tablet, phablet, or mobile. Isn't that amazing.
No need to go into details, but a small example, you can have all the same apps on all your devices, you can carry on with all your work with all the same great features etc from the PC, laptop, tablet or what ever device you are using. It's basically a whole PC in a phone or tablet. You obviously can't put a CD into a CD Rom driveapart from that, it's all the same!
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
