How to root Micromax Bolt A47

What is Android Rooting?

Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s sub-system.

Rooting Android is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and setting, run specialized apps that require administer-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device’s operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.

The steps how you can root your device are:- 

•  Download Framaroot
• Install it on your Micromax Bolt A47
• Open App Drawer and then Launch Framaroot
• Touch Boromir or Barahir
• It will say “Success ( … Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device”
• Tap on “OK”
• Reboot your Device.

Voila, Now your Micromax Bolt A47 is rooted

NOTE:-

If you download the APK file from the link I have given you need to have Unknown Sources checked in the Security Tab in the Settings

Rooting will make your warranty void.

If anything goes wrong if steps not followed as mentioned above I am NOT responsible. (Anyways you can contact me for help ;))

How to open PDF files in your Nokia Asha

Portable Document Format, popularly known as PDF documents, is a file format developed by Adobe Systems. It looks like a printed document and can be viewed in Adobe Reader, a free application from Adobe Systems itself. PDF files are especially useful for documents such as magazine articles, product brochures, or flyers in which you want to preserve the original graphic appearance.

Now PDF readers are available for smartphones as well. You can completely view and edit any PDF file if you are on the go. Adobe Reader is also officially available for all major mobile operating systems including Andriod, Windows Phone, iOS, Symbian etc. But if you are using a series 40 based phone(like a Nokia Asha phone), there are no efficient PDF readers available yet. Although there are apps like eZReader, mobilePDF, PDF Viewer, RJ PDF Reader etc available for download, these apps can’t load files greater than 1MB, also they dont even get opened in the new Nokia Asha Platform(they never worked for me). While surfing internet with our mobile, at some point of time, we might have encountered with a PDF file and wondered how to open it. Like the invoice we receive from Flipkart after a purchase or the phone’s user guide or a novel. So here are some tutorials on how to read PDF files in your phone apart from using a mobile PDF reader.

Using an E-Book reader

Albite Reader is actually a mobile Ebook reader for java mobiles developed by Svetlin Ankov, that supports .txt, .epub files. To read PDF files in this Ebook reader, you need to convert it to .epub format. There won’t be any images in the converted file, but this is the best way for reading novels and stories in your mobile. Don’t worry about the conversion part as you don’t need any PC for that, you can convert it online instead. PDFPOCKET is a free online service that helps you convert PDF to EPUB online. After the download, you can open the file in Albite Reader and enjoy.
Try some PDF novels from here, convert it and read in Albite reader[ DOWNLOAD ]

Read PDF files online

InvokeVirtual now allows to read PDF files online in your mobile browser. They also provide other services including removing ads, extract .zip files, .rar files read .doc(x) files etc. You can read your pdf file online with InvokeVirtual. Visit here.

Convert PDF to Images

If you still prefer to read your file without loosing the images, you can download each page as an image so that you can simply open it in your phone’s gallery and zoom in to read. The only drawback is that large pdf files will be hundreds of images to download. Visit here to convert your files.

Open in your Gmail account

Gmail also provides an option to view PDF in your mobile browser. Upload the file to your account or send the PDF file from another account to your account. You can find a ‘View Html’ option at the bottom of the mail, beside the download option. This will do the trick. But as this is a basic html view, there won’t be any images shown.

Do you know/use any method other than these to open PDF files in your mobile? Do let us know. Feel free to drop a messege to our Facebook page.
Sharing is caring ! so share this with your friends.

Blackberry Z3 Launched in India, A comparison with Motorola G

Blackberry has launched its new mid-range smartphone in Indian market, Blackberry Z3, which was formerly launched in Indonesia. Recently Indian smartphone market is offered a choke-full of affordable handsets that packs high-end features from international brands like Motorola, Nokia and now Blackberry. Blackberry has been loosing its customers for some time now especially in the high-end market. After the introduction of Blackberry 10 OS, BB phones now supports Android apps as well but that didn’t help blackberry to come up with other manufacturers in the market. Blackberry had a decent customer base earlier but with the arrival of new Operating Systems like Android, Windows Phone etc Blackberry had become something meant only for business people. They also introduced touch devices to the trending market but followed their signature design like qwerty keypad, wide screen, touchpad etc. But the problem was that a lot of qwerty devices were made available by manufacturers like Nokia and Samsung whose price were far below than Blackberry phones and the world preferred to use full-touch devices instead.

One of the key feature that made Blackberry stand unique from others was its messaging service, Blackberry Messenger. but Blackberry made it available for some Android and iOS devices and soon will be launched for Windows Phone 8.1 devices.Apart from the phones,  BBM is a huge success. 60 percent of service’s active users are using it daily, which is a big deal considering Instagram, which have about 50 percent of their userbase using it everyday.  All these factors made Research in motion(RIM) on the cliff-edge of the smartphone market. Blackberry has also introduced two powerful full touch devices last year, Blackberry Z10 and Blackberry Z30, but couldn’t create any move in the market. lately it was also rumored that RIM is going to shut Blackberry down.

Blackberry has recently partnered with Foxconn, an electronic company that contracts gadget manufacturing. Some notable products they make include iPad, iPhone, XBox One etc. Blackberry will continue to design the software, Blackberry 10 OS, while Foxconn will design the hardware. In the case of Z3, at such a price tag from Blackberry, the phone is meant for developing countries. Blackberry is trying their chance with mid-range phones, like what Motorola  did recently with the launch of Moto G. Z3 runs on BB10 OS which offers a true touch-screen experience, as the OS is based completely on touch interface. Thus providing a seamless touch experience. Comparing Z3 with Moto G, you may feel Z3 a bit overpriced, but it is a worthy buy.

COMPARISON

	Blackberry Z3	Motorola G
Display	5”  220ppi 540 x 960 pixel	4.5” 329ppi 720 x 1280 pixel
Processor	1.2 Ghz dual core krait mm MSM 8230 Adreno 305	1.2 Ghz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Adreno 305

Battery	2500mAh	2070mAh
Price	15990	12499
Other Features	Wireless Fidelity Bluetooth 4.0 NFC HDMI support	Wireless Fidelity GPS Bluetooth 4.0 Dual Sim

The Blackberry will appeal mainly to Blackberry fans who value the Blackberry 10 OS’s advanced security features. Other consumers might prefer the Moto G over it as it has a better display and superior performance.  Blackberry CEO John Chen said, “We’re no longer worrying whether we will be around. Now, we’re ready to fight back.”

Micromax to launch Windows Phones with 1GB RAM at a price less than that of Lumia 520

At the last BUILD conference held at San Francisco, Microsoft has announced its partnership with 11 new companies from different countries including India's own Micromax. Microsoft has also made Windows Phone OS free for devices under 9” inch which helps manufacturers reduce the cost of their phones.
[READ MORE : Micromax partnered with Microsoft ]
Being the 10th largest cell phone manufacturing company in the world, Second largest in India and one among the Microsoft OEM partner, Micromax, as expected, has come up with two new entry level phones running on Windows Phone 8.1.  Micromax is very popular with its wide range of affordable Android phones (Bolt, Canvas etc) not only in India, but also in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and soon in Russia. Now its reaching out for Windows phone fans as well. With the launch, they have become the first Indian smartphone player to launch a Windows Phone in the market.

Micromax has added two new warriors to its popular Canvas range which will be the cheapest phones having Windows Phone 8.1. The Canvas Win W092 and Canvas Win W121 will be launched in early July this year and will be priced 6500(€80) and 9500(€115) respectively. About the launch, Sanjay Kapoor, Chairman, Micromax said, “ With our vision to democratize technology and belief in providing consumers with choice of platforms, we are pleased to introduce a new range of Windows-based phones. I am pleased that Micromax is the only Indian mobile phone brand to be present across the two most popular operating platforms in the world.”

With no doubt, both the phones will be competing tightly with Nokia’s Lumia 520 and Lumia 630 and obviously, Micromax scores more. Both the phones have 1GB of ram and 8GB of internal memory whereas both lumias have just 512 MB. They also lack a front cam and LED flash but Micromax has managed to equip their phones with all these features at a price even lower than the Lumia 520. The W121 has got a removable leather finish back panel just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Micromax have managed to come up with the build quality on Nokia Lumia in the W121with the same material used in all Lumias as Nokia uses polycarbonate(free of PVC) instead of plastic. Lumia 525 is a good option if you prefer 1 GB of RAM and personally i feel  Lumia 630 is a bit overpriced. So, let’s go for a little comparison between these phones.

Talking about the Canvas Win W121, the phone’s design is inspired from other canvas phones and the phone do looks nice. You can take off the battery whenever needed and the leather case is interchangeable. The quality of viewing is not impressive as its look but the screen graphics are smoother than other Canvases running on Android OS. MS Office comes pre-loaded with the device and it is powered with Windows phone 8.1 out of the box. Apps can be downloaded from the official windows phone store but the Nokia Here Maps, Nokia mix radio are not available. Microsoft’s Siri-rival Cortana can also be made available by changing your region to United States.

How to Remove Advertisements from Apps/Games in Asha 5XX phones

Nokia Asha OS is a much advanced version of Nokia’s Series 40 OS for feature phones. These phones are equipped with the features of smartphones at the price that fits everybody’s budget. This revolutionary move by Nokia started with the launch of Asha 501 and now has 5 variants in this row. Tons of apps are available for this platform in Nokia Store. Nokia is providing a huge opportunity for developers to reach the world. Store has a wide reach all over the world and helps developers to attain downloads for their products. There are mainly three methods for developers to earn,

1. 1. A paid app
2. 2. A free app with in-app payment
3. 3. A free app

Apart from these, a developer can include Ads in his app. This is also a major source of income for the developer. With this feature , the app/game will display an advertisement when the user opens the app. But to run the app, it requires a working internet connection. In case of games, The game can’t be played if there is no data pack active. And for a user of a budget phone like Asha, will find it hard to use data packs as the network providers are making it costlier day by day. And these useless advertisements irritates me a lot too.

So this is a tutorial to remove the Advertisements and skip to the game directly. This can be done in three easy steps, completely in the mobile itself. I strongly recommend you to use use UC Browser (Download) for this.
