Quick Charge 4.0 Technology, When Will it Come to Smartphones?

Quick Charge 4.0 Technology, When Will it Come to Smartphones?

Qualcomm has unveiled its upcoming new high-end system-on-a-chip Snapdragon 835 mobile processor, with Samsung’s 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology. Not just that but Quick Charge 4.0 has equally been announced.

The new Quick Charge 4.0 (QC4) technology allows for up to 20% faster charging speed and 30% higher efficiency, and - best of all - it is now compatible with the soon-to-be-ubiquitous USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) specifications.

Comparing the original Quick Charge technology with the latest, the latest QC4brings a 2.5 times improvement, while also adding important safeguards to protect battery health: on board are over-voltage, over-current, and four levels of over-temperature protection that include the chassis itself, the battery and control of the temperature of the circuitry.

Another thing that is embedded in Quick Charge 4.0 is smart detection of the type and quality of the charging cable, a key step to providing adequate power to the battery and not overloading the circuits.

Qualcomm has updated its Battery Saver Technologies as well, using stepwise charging to ensure a phone's battery retains at least 80% of its original charge capacity after 500 charge cycles.

The power management integrated circuits supporting the new standard will be available to manufacturers by the end of 2016, while actual smartphones with the new tech are expected to ship in the first half of 2017.

…and this is Qualcomm slogan for the latest quick charge 4 technology; 5 minutes of charging give you 5 hours of additional time to use your phone.

Atleast, after all those exploding Galaxy Note 7 devices, we are happy to see proper measures against future battery issues.

Get More from Windows 7 ALT+TAB App Switching: Tricks You Didn’t Know About

Get More from Windows 7 ALT+TAB App Switching: Tricks You Didn’t Know About
 There’s more to Alt+Tab than just pressing Alt+Tab to switch between windows. There are a variety of hidden keyboard shortcuts that make the Alt+Tab switcher quicker and easier to use. There are also ways to customize the Alt+Tab switcher, reverting to the old-style, classic Alt+Tab switcher or disabling the window previews that appear while Alt+Tabbing.

You can even go beyond the Alt+Tab switcher that comes with Windows and install a third-party Alt+Tab switcher with a different design, more configurability, and additional features.

Keyboard Shortcuts

If you’re like most people, you probably just press Alt+Tab and continue pressing the Tab key until you reach the window you want. If you’re using Alt+Tab in this way, you’re missing out on a lot of useful keyboard shortcuts and other tricks that can save you time.

• Use The Arrow Keys: Press the arrow keys while the Alt+Tab switcher is available to easily select the window you want. Selecting a window will make it visible, so you can easily find the window you want. Release the Alt key or press Enter to switch to the selected window.
• Alt+Tab in Reverse: If you’re pressing Alt+Tab and accidentally go past the window you want to select, you don’t have to press the Tab key repeatedly to cycle through all open windows. Use the Alt+Shift+Tab keyboard shortcut to select windows in reverse order.
• Use The Mouse: The Alt+Tab switcher can also be used with a mouse. Just click one of the thumbnails with your mouse to activate the window. Hovering over a thumbnail will make the window visible.
• Use Alt+Tab Without Holding The Alt Key Down: To use Alt+Tab without holding the Alt key down the entire time, press the Alt+Ctrl+Tab keys at the same time. You can then release all the keys and the Alt+Tab switcher will remain visible. Use the arrow keys and Enter key or the mouse to select your desired window.
• Close the Alt+Tab Switcher: You can press the Escape key to close the Alt+Tab switcher without switching to another window. This can be more convenient than hunting down the window you started with if you decide you don’t want to switch windows.

Disable Window Previews

If you don’t like how Alt+Tabbing through windows constantly switches focus between windows in the background, highlighting the selected application window and hiding all other windows, you can disable “Aero Peek.”

To do so, click the Start button, right-click Computer at the right side of the Start menu and select Properties. Click the Advanced system settings link at the left side of the window.

Click the Settings button under performance and uncheck the Enable Aero Peek checkbox. Click OK and you can Alt+Tab through your open windows without Windows switching focus in the background.

Classic Alt+Tab Switcher

If you don’t like Windows 7’s new Alt+Tab switcher and prefer the classic-style Alt+Tab switcher without any transparency or thumbnails, you can still use it on Windows 7.

To activate the old-style Alt+Tab switcher, hold down the left Alt key, press and release the right Alt key while holding the left Alt key down, and then press Tab. The classic Alt+Tab switcher will appear; you can now Alt+Tab like you would on older versions of Windows.

If you prefer this Alt+Tab switcher to the newer one, you can disable the new Windows 7 task switcher and use the classic one instead. To do so, open the registry editor – click Start, type regedit, and press Enter to open it.

Navigate to the following registry key in the registry editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

Right-click in the right pane, point to New, and select DWORD Value.

Name the value AltTabSettings  then double-click it and enter a value of 1.

You’ll now see the classic Alt+Tab switcher whenever you Alt+Tab. To use the new Alt+Tab switcher again, right-click the AltTabSettings value in your registry and delete it.

Use a Third-Party Alt+Tab Switcher

You don’t have to use the Alt+Tab switcher Microsoft includes with Windows. You can use a third-party replacement like VistaSwitcher, which we’ve covered in the past. Don’t let the name fool you – while VistaSwitcher was originally designed for Windows Vista, it also works on Windows 7 and offers a different interface with more configurability than the default Alt+Tab switcher.

You can also use Windows Key+Tab shortcut to activate “Flip 3D”, a 3D window switcher, but Flip3D is more of a shiny tech demo than a useful feature. In fact, it’s used by so few users that Microsoft is removing it in Windows 8.

Run Android 6.0 Marshmallow on PC with no emulator

Run Android 6.0(marshmallow) on PC without emulator

Running android OS on our PCs is cool but we mostly use emulators which slows down the performance of this OS even when our PCs are fast enough to run it without any problem. I will be showing you another method to run android OS on your PC smoothly without any emulator.

On this tutorial I will use the latest android operating system on ground now which is android 6.0 Marshmallow. After installation, you can install android apps, wifi and bluetooth works perfectly and Google Playstore app is inside this ISO too. Its smooth, silk and fast. I'm really loving this Marshmallow just waiting for it to drop on my device.....
Enough talk lets get down to the installation process

Note
This process does not remove or uninstall anything on your pc

Download  unetbootin from here
Download Android 6.0 Marshmallow ISO file from here (You can get other android ISO files from here)

Connect a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB to PC (SDcard in USB card readers can also be used)
Launch  unetbootin
Tick Diskimage, Click the button with ... then navigate and select the Android 6.0 Marshmallow ISO you downloaded.
Select the drive letter of your USB drive from the drop down menu.
Click OK and wait for unetbootin to burn ISO file to drive.
When process is complete, Reboot PC.

Set your PC to boot from USB Mass Storage (Enter Boot option)
Boot your PC from the USB Mass Device you created

Select Run Android x86 without installing.

Wait for the OS to boot.
The booting process (Android Logo) can take a while be patient.

Actually I tried lots of things with this new OS. I noticed that you cannot use the default file manager to access an external USB (If you access USB from the swipe down menu, you will not be able to install apk files). So you must log on to playstore and download a file manager app like ES File Explorer to access other removable devices and install apk files.
You can still use the terminal emulator to install apps thats if you don't want to use a file explorer.
