Picture says a thousand words…isn’t it.

Today when I was wandering on the net, my gtalk buzzed. What skill would I learn in 2012. Here goes.
- learn one new language. Arabic or French. One being language of Quran, other bieng of love.
- learn new programming language
- learn to be more humble human. More controlled temperament, emotions.
- praise someone genuinely and let them really give the idea of real appreciation. These days many take actual praise as false, and then one has to tell them, that is it for real.
- be more in tune with my spiritual side.

This is one the debates which is very similar to which car is best. Should I buy this car or that car? or in other words, which type of girl should I marry. Should I be marrying a working women, or the one sitting at home? (I wish answering this question was as easy as buying phone).
Anyway, back to buying phone. Since the time, I bought an HTC Desire, many people were asking me as to which phone should they be buying. So I decided to write a blog post about what are the crucial factors one should consider on buying which phone.
Do apply the same technique on buying things which have multitude of brands / products, but not when marrying people, that is completely different arena we are talking about.
First off,
DECIDE ON YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Yes, you need to be absolutely clear about the requirements. What you need to do. Examples.

As of time of this blog post being written, there are different platforms which you should consider when buying phone. Each platform has it’s own pros and cons. Here is the quick run down

Black Berries
Black berry are most popular for their push Emails and Instant Messaging. Their one of the best selling points is their corporate usage. So if you are user whose primary functions is to use phone for the basic purpose (other than Calling / SMS / Alarms) is to have constant touch on your Emails and you need to respond to your mails ASAP, you will be better off with a Black Berry. Black berries do offer what other mobile phones offer but their starling differences are in corporate Emails / Instant messages.
CONCLUSION
Whether you have decided to buy an Iphone or Nokia or an Android Phone, you need to keep the following things in mind
Nearly all Websites these days provide the functionality to Compare and Contrast the (Two / three) phones of your choice in terms of Camera Mega pixels, Operating Systems, available Features, Pricing. Some of those sources are listed below. Alternatively you can check the some vendors websites too.

You may need to calibrate your battery if you have any of the following symptoms:
Contrary to popular belief, particularly on that ‘other’ site, wiping battery stats does not calibrate a battery. The proper calibration process, detailed below, forces the battery to re-learn it’s true capacity, as the capacity of a battery diminishes with age and usage. To calibrate, follow these steps carefully and in the order given:
Your battery should now be correctly calibrated.

When you search for Android tips and tricks, you get many links stating tips and tricks to perform in your andriod phone. One trick I learned this week end, was never mentioned anywhere. At least I could not read it out on the web, so I decided to share it. Here it goes.
There is an App named DESK CLOCK in HTC and ClOCK in Andriod 2,3 (Ginger bread). That app can be used to act your mobile as a Bed time clock.
I am the user, who keeps the cell phone by keeping a pattern. Whenever I switch on the phone, whenever a message arrives, an email arrives, I need to unlock the phone by the drawing the pattern and then the phone will be unlocked. So at times, when I am sleeping, when I need to see time, I really need to concentrate and draw the pattern to see the time. Although at the time, of pattern entering the phone does display the time, but that time is stuck in a small corner.
Enter DESK CLOCK. Once you switch on this app, the first thing, you see is current date, along with DAY name, and time fully emersed in your screen and in big fonts.
So to use your desk clock, do the following

This post is specifically more targeted to users who are planning to switch from Nokia mobile phones to Android Phones.
First and foremost, a bit of information. All the contacts in your (to be andriod phone) should be and would be synced to your Google account. Yes, all the contact along with Phone numbers, mobile numbers, their personal / official email addresses will be in GMAIL address book / Contacts.
The process would be to EXPORT all the contacts in your Nokia cell phone to your SD Card.

Basic software which are installed on my phone are
- App Saver
This one basically saves the APK for the installed file, so that in case you apply the new rom, all you need to do it to run those APKs on your SD card. No need to re-download the apps from Market.
- Catch
This is the note taking software for the mobiles which are on lower hardware end. For higher end Smart phones, use Ever Note. BTW, catch is directly integrated with COMPASS and Google maps, so you can save the Latitude / Longitude links of any location in your Google Maps.
- Dolphin Browser
If there is one browser worth checking out on Android, it’s Dolphin
- Compass / Qibla / Adhan Timings
All in one app which provides the direction of Qaba, notificatioins when its time for namaz and Compass, which provides the direction of Kaaba / Qibla.
- Gmail / K9 Email
Off course, for checking Emails belonging in Gmail. For emails over non Gmail accounts, I personally use K9 Email, probably because of its customization and being snappier on my cell phone.
GAMES
There is no better thing such as games to waste valuable time on your mobile phone isn’t it. So far I have tried following games
- Reckless Racing
- Angry Birds
- Angry Birds Rio
- Dismount
- Slice it
- Traffic Jam
Let me know which software you can’t live without on your android.

bing, Clusty, facebook, google, Homeschooling, Power Seek, search, Tool Developed by me, Web search engine, Yahoo
Yesterday, I was searching for some stuff on my research on Home Schooling, and then I was doing the same thing. Opening new tabs, one for Google, one for Bing, one for Yahoo and one for Clusty. Did my searching from all those four tabs, I was in turn opening more tabs. So actually just to perform a quick search, I opening 4 x 2 = 8 tabs. Although with more computing power, it is nothing, but I realized that I was not searching in an effective manner.
It was then, that I suddenly realized that I had an amazing tool at my arsenal, which is Power Seek. A search tool I developed to make my research more easier. It allows me to open up the search results in one window, and perform my search, all while the Search is being displayed right in front of me, and I just switch the Search engine with a click of Combo box / Drop list. Once I change my search engine, the new Search results are displayed in the same smaller window.
Any time, I want the results to be bookmarked, I can just open the Search in new tab, by marking a check on the check box say, OPEN IN NEW TAB. Easy as pie, isn’t it? Oh by the way, for my small number of readers, the Search engine resides at
and its user manual is residing at

So my few readers,
which search engine do you use and why?
