How to increase your mobile phone battery life?

How many times this happens to you when you need to make or receive some important call your mobile phone battery gets down. This often happens with me and eventually I counter this problem with three dimensional strategy which is reduce wastage, keep an eye and backup.

I will discuss all three in details:

First, How to reduce wastage?

Screen Brightness: You should set your smartphone brightness yourself because automatic setting keeps on changing brightness and needs more energy.Furthermore, set small timeout to save some battery juice.

Wireless Connectivity:
Even though some functions such as EDGE,3G, Wifi,Bluetooth and GPS are very useful,but these functions consumes most of the amount of battery.When these functions are not in use,you should switch off them.

Push Notification:
If push notification of your phone is on then it keeps on checking for updates. It makes use of data connectivity or Wifi regularly. Some devices has ability to display these notification with voice. These notifications significantly affect the battery.

Background Tasks:
By default ,application keeps on running when you press home button, moreover, this way smartphone functions multitasking but on the other side consumes hardware resources and battery. To get out of app completely, use task manager and close applications manually.

Tips for Iphone

Location Service :
To provide content and service some apps use Location Service. These apps do this task using wifi and GPS. It effects battery life badly. Go in settings and disable location service for application where it doesn't require.

System Service:
Go into settings->Location Service->System Services and switch off location based Iads, Diagnostics,Usage,Traffic and Automatic time zone updates.

Tips for Android

Check Battery Uses: Go into Settings -->Application and check battery use. Disable or uninstall apps whom you are not using since long time, it will greatly improve battery life.

GPS Location: Android location settings use wireless network or GPS Satellites to find your location.If you want to close them, go into Settings-->Locations and Securities and switch off 'Use GPS Satellite" and 'Assisted GPS'.

Second,Applications which helps you in keeping eye:

Battery Saver Pro:
You can use this application with Blackberry Phone.It provides you clear GUI to monitor process.Using it you can optimize display and wireless connections.Furthermore, you can set low battery alert and can see battery usage graph.

Battery Life Pro:
You can use this application with iPhone. Its interface is very beautiful. It shows you graphs and system info for battery usage.It provides you one touch facility of switch on or off services like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and Push Notification.

Battery Saver:
Similar to above app but its for Windows Phone. You can add tile of this app on home screen where you can keep eye on wireless internet, 3g or data services and even on and off them from home screen itself.

Juice Defender:
This application is useful for Android Phones.You can customize your own preset from different options.

Third,Back up in the form of Accessories:

Battery Cases: It has one build in battery. It gets connected with phone charging port and keeps on charging internal battery.

Portable Charger: You can carry this charger anywhere and it helps you to charge your phone twice without any external electricity source.

Additional Battery:You can buy additional battery for your handset and keep it ready and charged for quick replacement.

How to build your own app for free?

Although there are millions of app available in app store, still sometime we don’t find app we are looking for. Moreover, there are thousands like us who might search for similar app but not find it. So, why don’t we build our own app?
Many of us think that building app is complex task and required lot of programming skill. I am writing this post to break that myth. Today, there are many free websites are available which can help us to build our app and that is too for free. I will discuss some of them here:
1. Appsbar

It is one of the best places to develop apps. It helps you to understand apps from its very first step. Moreover, here you can program apps for any android device. This website contains Appsbar digi, which guide you in every step of app development. After deciding purpose of your app, its background and succession, you submit it to appsbar team, which later test app with quality standard of google and also suggest you if any improvement required. Our apps get live within 15 days of our submission.

2. ibuildapp

With the help of ibuildapp, you can build apps for both Apple and Android devices. It provides you complete content management system. Using it you can update your app even after making it lives on market. Its creation process is similar to other app development tools. You need to select one template, its design and look, after that you need to attach content and data. After completion, you can submit this app.

3. Andromo

As its name suggest, this platform is for Android devices. Using this app builder you can build app having features such as Video, Interactive Maps, Flickr Gallery, Music Player and RSS News feed. Free app would contain ads and andromo will take half of your ads income as its service charge. If you want your app to be add free than you need to pay one time fees of 99 dollars to andromo. After that you can sell your app on android market.

4. buzztouch

It helps you to understand App Creation, Its process and difficult terms and condition involved with it. Using it you can develop apps for both iOS and Android. Although you can use Online Control Panel to start your app development, but you need to download source code of this app on your PC which needs Xcode(Apple) and Eclipse(Android) to run it on your computer. If you do not have any programming knowledge, don’t worry buzz touch will provide you all the information needed and useful links.

5. Appmakr.com

It provides tools to develop apps three most popular platforms such as Windows, Android and iOS. Its user interface is extremely easy to use. In a step by step process, first you need to select platform, then url and rss feeds, after that you can use images and at the end you adds background and related information in the app. If you want to fix the price of your app, you can decide price of your app. Not only that, but you can even select whether you want to make your app ad free or not. Moreover, Appmakr provides you quality index which tells you about chances of your app approval.

6. Appinvertor

Its an initiative taken by MIT. Unlike its competitors it is an open source tool and needs Google Account to start with. It works on Android Platform. With little practice you can master the science of app development with this tool. Yes, you can develop app using graphic interface in other app developer but app inventor specialty is, here you can join screens and set your animation. In this tool you can use features of social networking connectivity. It provides you both location and orientation sensor functions. If you want integrated advance features, then you can use bar code scanner, text to speech and speech recognition system. The only disadvantage with this tool is that it does not provide help in getting your application approved at google store. Once you build your app, you can download it as APK file and can send to it to your friends. You can install it in your phone too.

How to precompile assets in production server of rails?

If you are hosting your sites with apache and passenger on ubuntu and things are not working as expected in production environment then you should try these three steps, which often works for me :

1. Precompile your assets : It would take time so be patient and let rails do it works.

cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile

2. Run Migration on production Server : Sometime we forget to migrate our data in production server. We know that rails have three different databases for development, production and testing, therefore running migration on production server is important.

cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"

3.Restart Apache : With passenger and apache, if you do slightest of change you need to restart apache again. There are other solutions to automate this but for now just do it.

cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$sudo service apache2 reload

Heroku Users:

Asset Pre compilation in heroku is somewhat different than local computer because we need to do it in production environment.

cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

After running above command use git and the upload that git to heroku.

cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$git add .
cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$git commit -m "assets precompile on heroku"
cg@ubuntu:~/your_app$git push heroku master

I hope that helped!
