12 Things and New Settings You Must Know About iOS 7 ~ TechSoulz

Dynamic Type

One new feature of iOS 7 which I immediately wanted to test was 'Dynamic Type'. Available from iOS 7's Settings App > General > Text Size, this one allows you to control the relative text size across any apps that support it. What Dynamic Text means is that if you prefer text bigger or smaller in general, you need only set it once and your apps will instantly adopt your settings, system-wide.

2. Frequent Locations

Buried inside Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services is a new option labeled 'Frequent Locations', a feature that allows your iPhone/iPod to remember where you have been. Go here and you will see something that might make you shiver with Big Brother-y chills, or it might make you think, "hey, that's cool. I wonder what benefit that will provide me down the road?"
Either way, it is good to know, so we tell you. There are settings to fit both classes of mentioned users.

3. Dynamic Wallpaper

Apple likes to bake in subtle changes with the potential for them to grow into larger features, and I believe they have done so with what they are calling 'Dynamic Wallpaper'. iOS 7 features seven different-colored themes on a background of floating bubbles. The colors, not surprisingly, match the green, yellow, blue and red of the iPhone 5c, plus some grey shades and one purple/blue color mashup. I am not convinced these set of wallpapers look all that great, but the concept is intriguing. Will developers be able to design their own animated wallpaper down the road? This will be one to watch.

4. Better Do Not Disturb Settings

If you have ever had iOS's Do Not Disturb set only to have an iMessage chime just because your phone was awake while you checked email, fret no more. You can now configure whether DnD works only when the device is locked or all the time. Yet another example of a minor, incremental change that will make a huge difference for some of us.

5. Blocked Callers

Answering calls from users to block calls and texts from spammers, Apple has finally added a global blocklist into iOS. Accessible in the Phone, Messages, and Facetime sections of the Settings app, iOS 7's new 'Blocked' list does just what it says ensures that you won't be notified of any calls or texts from anyone listed here.
The rub is that if you want to block a number (or email address, for Facetime calls) that hasn't called you yet, you must first associate it with a contact. That is easy if it's an ex-liontamer that you no longer wish to work with but previously had in your Contacts, but gets a little trickier if it is some random spammer.

Numbers that have called you, though, can be blocked directly from the 'Recents' list in the Phone app. Just click the circled 'I', scroll down, and select 'Block this Caller'.

6. Multiple 'From' Address Management

Like you can on the Mac, iOS has long allowed you to set multiple 'From' addresses for IMAP and POP accounts in Mail. But it is never worked well, and never really felt officially supported. It required a comma to make it work and when typing in the appropriate field, the keyboard would have no comma available! Still, it's always worked, and a lot of us rely on it. Good news for all of us is that in iOS 7 this feature is made official and gets first-class-citizen treatment in the UI. 

Simply visit Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (your iCloud, POP or IMAP account) and navigate to the screen with the 'Email' field on it by tapping again into your account. When you tap on the 'Email' field, you are now shown a list that allows you to edit, re-arrange, and even highlight a single address to be used by default.

7. Explicit Computer Trust

This is not a setting you will need to find, It will find you. The first time you connect your iOS 7 device to a computer the device itself will confirm that you wish to share your settings and data with the new computer. This trust was implicit in the past, but these days Apple seems to agree that we shall never presume a trust relationship. That is a good thing.

8. Background App Refresh

One of the newly-touted features of iOS 7 is the ability for apps to work together with the OS on coalescing their updates. This is a great thing and should vastly improve network efficiency as well as battery life. Still, there may be some apps which request to have a 'Network pit stop' a little too often, and Apple gives you, the user, the ability to disable them on an app-by-app basis. Navigate to Settings > General > Background App Refresh to manage at will.

9. Burst Mode for Photos

iOS 7's camera includes a new 'Burst Mode' wherein you simply hold down the shutter button and your iPhone will take multiple pictures in rapid succession until you let off the shutter. This can be quite handy for catching just the right shot. However, for those of you that had learned to stabilize your camera by holding down the shutter button instead of tapping it, this can result in a lot of unexpected pictures. This feature appears to be enabled full-time whether you want it or not, so we will all need to simply learn to adapt.

10. Take Square Pictures

iOS 7's camera has a whole new interface that will become immediately apparent the first time you launch the camera. One of the new picture modes is the ability to take square pictures regardless of whether you're holding your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientations. This can be handy for several purposes, including future Instagram sharing. To enable this, simply slide the selector available beneath the viewer window.

11. Photo Filters add Mojo

Apple has taken inspiration from many popular photo apps by incorporating live filters right into the camera. As you can see for yourself, Apple's built-in filters provide some subtle effects which you can preview in real-time before you snap your shot.

12. AirDrop

This one's not entirely hidden, but we wanted to share it nonetheless. AirDrop allows you to share data wirelessly with other nearby iPhone users. You enable it by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to activate the Control Center. Once it is on, then you will show up as a destination for other local iPhones and iPads. This does not require you both to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, but doesn't yet have interoperability with Macs, only other iOS users.

What's in IOs 7 ???

A recent tweet had me in hysterics:

“Daddy, why has your phone gone all funny?” – A 6 year old’s reaction to the iOS7. 

And that’s the new hype on online sites these days – The new Apple iPhone and iPad software upgrade – the iOS7. There were so many posts and tweets that I actually got confused because I thought Apple had launched the iPhone 6 so soon after the launch of iPhone 5c and 5s!

However, after installing the new software and talking to people who have installed it, I realised that it is a major overhaul by Johnny Ives, the Senior VP of Design at Apple. And you know what they say about major changes, don’t you? The response is usually varied, dramatic and extreme. So is the case with the iOS7.

The positives:

Although functionality has also seen some changes, what has impressed or angered users the most is the first interaction with the aesthetics of the new software. Laying my iPhone (before installing the software) side-by-side with the my husband’s (after installing the software), was like looking at two different types of phones.

The first thing that jumps out at you is the minimalism incorporated in the design – the fonts are flatter, the layout is cleaner, the signal bars have made way for a series of dots and the new palette of colors just freshenes up the look.

Now, once you’ve gotten over the intial shock of the bare and modern aesthetics, you will most likely proceed to unlock your phone, looking for the ‘slide to unlock’ bar on your screen. Not finding it on the screen may leave you terribly confused. But fear not, in addition to the aesthetics, Apple has simplified this first function of the iPhone as well. Now you can swipe anywhere on the screen to unlock the phone. Awesome isn’t it, especially while driving which is where I would struggle with the touchscreen the most (although please avoid calls while driving at all costs).

Them we come to multi-tasking and intelligent scheduling: the key feature of smart phones.

iPhones  were already smart allowing you to fade music out, attend a call, check a picture and send it, return to the call and then go back to the tune you  were enjoying. But with the iOS7 you can now access the bluetooth and Wifi toggles without having to trawl through settings. Even better, iOS7 learns when you like to use your apps and can update your content before you launch them. So, if you generally check a social networking website every morning at 10:00 am. iOS7 will have it ready and waiting for you!

That, if you ask me, is smart.

Then, of course are the little cherries on the cake –new wallpapers (including dynamic ones),  swiping up to turn the torch and calculator, message timestaps (pulling your text messages to the left to show the time you sent/received them) and the jazzy camera options. You can swipe between shot types, add quick effects and take burst shots, reducing the time to get ‘that perfect shot’.  And I am sure the audio only feature on facetime will be a welcome option for all those who want to talk but not be seen!

That said, with a major overhaul there have got to be negatives, and the iOS 7 has them too.

The negatives:

The iCloud, for one, is still a disappointment to many. Although it offers free backup, users keep running out of space with more and more apps and photos and the iCloud offers no good or easily available solution to fix this. And the camera burst feature further clogs up the cloud since it allows many shots to be taken in a burst, but the focus speed isn’t quick enough – ending up with the user storing blurry pictures on the iCloud and taking up unnecessary space.

Additionally, the software is a major drain on the battery life, which could be problematic if you tend to use your phone a lot.

All in all, It is different and it will definitely take time to warm up to, especially because the older  version lasted so long. Still, it’s definitely slicker in usability and faster when switching between apps and windows.

Like a friend said,

“One thing that amazes me about Apple always is the user-friendliness and adaptability – I couldn’t get the hang of multi-tasking and I gave the iPad to my 18 month old daughter and she could almost get them to work each time! I had to observe her hand movement to figure out what to do!”

The verdict:

So all in all, upgrading to the iOS7 is probably a good idea since you’ll be re-acclimitising yourself to some features and it will be a transition for the next software upgrade. Otherwise, you might be at a loss when the next software hits the market. Having said as much, the upgrade is recommended more for the iPhone 4S and the 5 and not so much for the iPhone 4.

A small piece, though, of advice – keep your expectations to the ground and you’ll be a satisfied iPhone user.

Small Solution or Small part of Splitting Array! C Sharp

So this is Something Related to the Post "Array Splitter" It is not yet completed but i just figure out few things like this one! A small portion of this problem has been done so far using C SHARP Can you guys suggest me something better or something good for the this Problem?  WE are getting inputs from user and the size of array as well from User. Hope you like it! WE have to Finally do this thing at the end!

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Testarray

            Console.WriteLine("Please enter the size of array ");
            size=int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            int size1 = size;
            Console.WriteLine("Size= " +size);
            int []arr= new int[size];
            int mid = (size / 2);
         
            int mid2 = (size / 2);
            Console.WriteLine("Now Please enter elements");
            for (int i = 0; i < size;i++ )
            {
                arr[i]=int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            }
            for (int j = 0; j < size +4;j++ )
            {

                int[] subarr1 = new int[size / 2];
                int[] subarr2 = new int[size / 2];

                Array.Copy(arr, 0, subarr1, 0, mid);

Some Concepts regarding Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

What actually is Search Engine optimization as from my perspective is, it is basically the way, the art, the procedure and topology followed to dodge the strong algorithm and crawlers of Google such as Penguin and panda updates! The Things which are the keys for SEO are

And what is our way to get the things right!! These are the Very common aspects which every beginner SEo should kept it into his mind!  

Further More My OPINION   about SEO and to rank the website right on first page is to do as much good Blog Posts as you can without spamming or getting under crawlers Eyes. Also Social Book Marking Could be a Best Way! 

Something interesting to share!!!

Beginners Programming Concepts and Analysis Using Csharp (C#)

I am going to explain a small piece of Problem regarding any Programming language, from me i am using C sharp commonly known As C# and using a console based output! C sharp is pretty interesting and easy to use! Code will be provided soon! If any suggestions and comment you can please tell me i much appreciate it!
Note: This is the problem for beginners we will use iterative method not Recursive! and will find out the complexity! 

The Problem: In merge sort we need to divide the input integer array into equal parts recursively till we
reach to the base case (only one item left in splitted arrays). You need to implement the same behavior
but without recursive calls. Your program should get size of array as an input from the user (assume
the array size will always be power of 2). Then the program should ll the array with random values and
split the array till you reach the base case. There is no language and data type restrictions. Your program
should print an output as follows:
Array: 2,3,4,5,6,0,3,1
Left: 2,3,4,5
Right: 6,0,3,1
------------------
Array: 2,3,4,5
Left: 2,3
Right: 4,5
------------------
Array: 6,0,3,1
Left: 6,0
Right: 3,1
------------------
Array: 2, 3
Left: 2
Right: 4
------------------
Array: 4,5
Left: 4
Right: 5
------------------
Array: 6,0
Left: 6
Right: 0
------------------
Array: 3,1
Left: 3
Right: 1

Static/Dynamic Charges on Computer Hardware could reduce the Life time.

It is observed by some hardware specialists that there is strong effect of charges on the hardware! AS in the experiment it is observed that human body carry charge. While the body is at rest there are less amount of charges in it, but when the body is in movement or in motion there are a good amount of charges that is under consideration these charges can effect the life of hardware.

Taking example of a Ram in the machine while RAM is the Random Access Memory used to propagate data from CPU/ hard disk.

The human body carry charges therefore when a Ram is picked up by humans it is a proper way which should be followed to pick Ram. Mostly hardware oriented people don't just consider this thing but there is a strong impact on that thing! The body carry charge and Ram has the capability to take charges directly from users. When we pick ram from the front and back of it the static charges are being transfer-ed this is why the life time of ram is reduced somehow. Therefore there is a proper way to pick that thing that it from the edges the strong edges where you could not

touch the chips involved. This is all about the charges. In my point of view this is the right way to pick ram to avoid degradation in performance and in its life time. Also we can use the gloves in this regard.
