8 things you lose if you go from Android to Windows Phone – MovilZona.es

There is no more critical time in the life of a Geek when on the horizon a change of platform and operating system on your smartphone, which means that, yes or yes, begin to fear that many of the tasks that performs nearly unperturbed affected. Imagine for a moment that you pass Windows Phone to Android.

Although many people are everyday You use Windows Phone and its evolution in the recent years has been really spectacular, not to deny that still walk away than is possible with an Android device. Especially when peeked his head to the Google Play Store and see the enormity of options we have in our hand to perform the task, via application we want.

That’s why it never hurts do a ‘reverse list’. That is, instead of listing the obvious advantages to upgrade to such a popular mobile operating system like Google, why not reflect those things that get lost in transit from one to another and also have value? So sure you check out if you have Windows Phone on your phone and you want to go to Android, these are the things you miss.

Applications ‘officially unofficial’

installed 3rd-party-640x424-1

shortages applications is a direct result of the lower popularity of Windows Phone with respect to Android, but no you will live without doing many of the most popular tasks that have to do (almost always) with social networks and the like. For example, SnapChat has no official application but there are developed by the community, is infinitely better. Same goes with Instagram.

Tuning

 cortana-colors-640x382

id=”result_box” class=”hps”> Windows Phone allows you to change few things but which affect how the operating system is that you end up missing it when you land on Android. With just replace two or three colors, the look of the mobile is completely transformed and it seems to have in hand a different device. This, in Google OS is possible, but at the cost of making root, install specific ROMs, etc..

modes ahorrro battery

battery-saver

id=”result_box” The Battery Saver” too lose on your way to Android and is very useful when you can not connect it to a charger. With it, Windows Phone off some services and, especially, dramatically reduces background tasks, leaving SMS alert applications or phone calls. Furthermore, since the arrival of Windows Phone 8.1 this option has further improved , coming to let us choose which services or applications ‘silenced’ when we want to extend the range of our terminal.

This, as you know, Android is very complicated and although there are applications that do similar things, actually quite often more traumatic and radicals. Hopefully Android L change things completely in this regard.

Volume Controls

 volume-control-640x217

Android, on mobile and with AOSP installation, let alone raise or lower the volume of applications we have right now in operation in the foreground. But in Windows Phone that is not so and is much simpler because it leaves us to calibrate the different ‘layers’ of audio it up. Systems, music, application, etc.

Softness in its menus

It is clear that in this section relies heavily on smartphone Android but it is not exactly an example of fluidity in their menus , especially when we pick on models that are very powerful and have huge layers of ‘personalization’ (the manufacturer) to endure.

This does not happen in Windows Phone and will be one of the elements that you will notice just landed in the system Operating from Google. Of course, if you have ‘homesickness’ that quickly, do not despair, you can always go to a mobile store and ask a Nokia Lumia teach you to feel again that quickly.



physical buttons to access Camera

 camera-button-640x400

Android tends to have a shortcut on the lock screen even though we save something time, no comparison with the physical button that usually carry Windows Phone and allowing them, even when locked, enter the camera almost instantly. This allows us to take the time just to grasp and that deserves a passing Number Instant posterity.

That button ‘hardware’ is one of those things that nobody understands why not extend why not become part of the essential elements that should adorn a smartphone. Especially the top end you have the best cameras on the market in quality and MP.



Multitasking

multitasking-640x417

are surely to a matter of taste, but is much more illustrative and useful view full screen (thumbnail) leave open how this or that app , a simple cutout square where only see what we were doing.

In addition, this Android ‘multitasking’ is sometimes confusing because we do not know if it is a list of recently opened applications or really see a way to resume a process that had left half. In Windows Phone, definitely, everything is much clearer.



consistent application List

 list-drawer-640x466

There is nothing insane in the Android application drawer crowd where all we have installed on the smartphone. Often has no criteria beyond the organizational order of arrival to our device , so you look for is almost mission impossible. Some models let us reorganize but most do not.

Windows Phone In that menu is clear, simple and has the logic of having the applications in alphabetical order. From A to Z. In this way everything is at hand in Android.

The cuts represent about 14% of Microsoft’s total workforce of about 127,000 employees.
Nadella said in an email to employees that “difficult but necessary” layoffs are part of a plan to provide a new strategic direction to the U.S. technology giant.
“The first step to build the appropriate organization to our ambitions is to realign our workforce. Importantly, although we are eliminating positions in some areas, are adding jobs in other strategic areas, “he adds.
Microsoft completed the acquisition of Nokia’s phone unit in April, in a move that strengthened its position in mobile phones, at a cost of 7,500 million.
So far, the biggest job cuts made by the computer giant had occurred in 2009 when 5,800 people were laid off.

“Ballmer was very interested in appliances, wanted to be the next Apple,” while his successor seeks rather “focus on products and services and not compete with manufacturers” of PCs using Microsoft programs.
The exact distribution of the cuts was not detailed. But the production of phones will be reorganized and concentrated essentially in Hanoi, Vietnam, with a small part in Beijing and Dongguan in China. The plant Komaron, Hungary, will be closed, said Elop.
design teams will be held in Salo and Tampere in Finland, with reductions in other plant in that country as well as in Beijing and San Diego in the U.S..
Microsoft close its studies to create original television to Xbox consoles as part of a restructuring of labor forces.
The company clarified that projects initiated by Xbox Entertainment culminate studies, but the unit created to carry the console utility beyond the gaming world will end in the coming months.
According parts of this information leaked on the internet, the president of Xbox Phil Spencer told his team: “We will continue expanding our offering in the console innovating the television experience through monthly updates” on Xbox One
Ongoing programs include, among others, a documentary about the birth and demise of video game pioneer Atari.
news that Xbox studies emerged Entertainment will close shortly after Microsoft announced in June that sales of its Xbox console One doubled.
This increase is attributed to a selling price of $ 100 less than the original, because the console also sold without the Kinect motion sensor.

The Android SDK Auto install an application that allows you … – The Free Android

Android Car

The conference Google numerous innovations, some more appealing as Android and L were others that also deserve mention them, as Android Auto. This new Android operating system designed primarily for cars is the way Google has decided to enter this sector. Apple already did CarPlay , not going to be less of Mountain View.

Google has not wanted to wait for the developers and has released a SDK ( software development kit) Android Auto . With it, developers will be creating applications that can be installed in our car to increase the functionality of this.

But there is a little surprise, inside the “ Testing ” section Page Auto Android SDK we can see as provide an application that simulates Android Auto and can be installed on any Android device . Will have to see at what level of support will, I can not imagine a mobile three years ago running it.

O well, it can also serve for those who can not afford a car with Android Auto, can use your mobile or tablet as onboard computer . It would be a great move by Google if I could have my Android Mobile Auto and not have to look with envy at those who have.

You have to see the limits will also. For example, in a car Android Auto we can use the car speakers , music volume control from the steering wheel and others. That in the case of our Android device as if the onboard computer, we have to forget about it. Still, we could enjoy many things in Android Auto.

And you, do you think this is a smart way to bring more operating system users
