How long until Android L comes to the OnePlus One?
With the new and exciting announcement forearming us with the features of Android L, it is fair to ask what this means for the OnePlus One owners who will need to rely on CyanogenMod to bring the OnePlus One to the party. So will there be a delay between the release of Android L and the availability of it to OnePlus One users? There will be a short delay, but the developers are used to doing this sort of thing and getting it out there quickly and especially considering they are working with the manufacturers. Of course the actual length of time depends on how much of a departure the Android L is from the current version. It is estimated, based on what little we do know, to take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
It is possible to see some less stable modifications come out early but for a stable and reliable version, it could take a couple of months or even a little longer, so it depends how much of a risk you would like to take when you go for the update. Ultimately only time will tell and at any rate, most people are more concerned about when they will get hold of the handset much more than they are in a hurry to update it.

It is the case that on occasion the phone does not recognise the device it is connected to, even though it will connect to a laptop to charge. This problem is easily corrected however, simply navigate to ‘settings’, then select ‘storage’ and in the upper right corner there should be three dots indicating there’s a setting.

THL 100s wi-fi signal issue explained.
The newly available THL 100s is a pretty impressive octa-core smartphone. There have been complaints about the wi-fi signal dropping even very close to the router. There is a simple fix to this, flip the rear cover around until it connects with the rear of the phone, this will boost your signal back up to normal standards. The reason for this is that inside the rear cover is an antenna which means that the signal is easily lost if the cover is not held against the phone.

Why beg for an invite when OnePlus One is available in Oppomart?
The disappointment associated with the release of the OnePlus One is rising. The invite only buying system has meant a lot of people are just going without while they wait for an invitation to purchase a product that just isn’t anywhere. This would be a tragedy if it were true, but the OnePlus One is for sale, it’s available to everyone at Oppomart. The price is certainly a little higher and some modifications need to be made, but the added value of having the phone immediately and not having to wait until the phone is old before it can be purchased is certainly worth a few more dollars. Increasing numbers of people are getting out of the invitation race and just getting it from a third party, and here’s why.
The warranty issue isn’t a problem, admittedly with some third party dealers it certainly is a problem, but with Oppomart there is a 2 year warranty on all phones, so although you may not have recourse with the manufacturer should there be any problems, you can just deal with Oppomart instead.
The OnePlus One available from Oppomart requires CyanogenMod 11S to be installed. This is quite an off-putting idea to those unfamiliar with the process but the installation is easy and quick and there are reams of webpages to answer any concerns and talk you through the process. There really is excellent free technical support available online, by some very knowledgeable and helpful people.
As regards the bandwidth problem, this applies to all imported smartphones; check the phone is operable in your area first. If it is, there isn’t a problem so you needn’t be put off. All of Europe and Asia and even great swathes of the US have network coverage for the OnePlus One so the vast majority of those considering the phone have nothing to fear here.
Really then, the only thing coming between most people and the truly great smartphone they desire is a little bit more money and effort. Plus they throw in a free cover. Look into it, you could have a OnePlus One tomorrow.

Xiaomi’s ambitions for world top three
Xiaomi has plans to become one of China’s top three e-commerce companies over the next few years, according to founder and President Lin Bin. The plan is going well so far, they have managed to build a solid reputation for excellent design and involving customers in the design process. This reputation has been translated into sales, with Xiaomi’s handset sales doubling over the last three months making them one of China’s top three smartphone companies.
Xiaomi releases one product per year, and limits the time these products are available to purchase online. The releases have become huge events and Xiaomi have had great success in generating buzz about the new products being launched; when the Mi2 smartphone was released, almost 10 million customers were in the queue to buy it. Sales in the past year have grown 180% with revenues exceeding 5 billion USD. Lin Bin has announced however that the company has wider ambitions. “We are not a mobile company, we are an internet company” he announced to delegates at the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai.
The company is already branching out, launching the MiTV later this year, and the strategy it has used to get this far seems to be working. The technique of using word of mouth rather than traditional marketing. Providing excellent quality products that people could get excited about has been essential to their success, Lin states “if your product has a bad reputation, users will blame you. We know that bad news travels much faster than good news”. So far the news is good, and Lin Bin will know this because Xiaomi has collected 150 million web postings from social media sites, the content of which has informed the next design features, making the consumers brand ambassadors, who are invested in the products they buy, driving growth and designing the products of the future.
Xiaomi has been in existence for four years and has become the sixth largest mobile device company, on track to keep climbing the ranks armed with an army of active supporters and a fantastic reputation for quality and value.
Xiaomi to expand into Indian market.
There have been rumours of Xiaomi’s entry to the Indian market going around for months, hinted at mostly by Hugo Barra, ex-Android VP who joined Xiaomi from Google last year. It seems these rumours are about to become reality with a report revealing plans to join up with Flipkart to launch smartphones in India. This is the way Motorola went about things too but things are slightly different here. When Moto and Flipkart teamed up, Flipkart imported the devices on its own, but the Xiaomi report states that Xiaomi will be importing the devices and Flipkart will be retailing them. It seems there are no plans as yet for a Xiaomi retail chain in India.

The Mi3 has two variants, but the one most likely to be available for the Indian market contains a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and 2MP front shooter with a 3050mAh battery.
As for the prices it is reported that the Redmi could be priced at around RS8000 ($133USD) and the Mi3 around RS15000 ($250USD), there are also to be accessories and extras released but there are no solid reports as yet as to what these might be.
Xiaomi Mi Pad to be released 1st July in China.
Xiaomi have once again surprised everybody by announcing their foray into the tablet market with the release of the Mi Pad. An impressive device which seems to be able to compete directly with the iPad, rather than just emulate it. The specs are exciting in themselves, with the inclusion of the NVIDIA Tegra K1 quad-core 2.2GHz processor, a Kepler GPU with 192 CUDA cores, 2GB of RAM and a 7.9 inch 2048 x 1536 resolution display. There are two versions available, one with 16 GB internal memory and one with 32GB, and this space is expandable to up to 128GB with MicroSD card support. The battery is a Li-Po 6700mAh battery with 11 hours of multimedia usage supported. The operating system is the Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. The rear camera is 8MP and the front-facing sensor is 5MP. The tablet itself measures 202 x 135.4 x 8.5mm and weighs 360g. There are numerous colours available; green, blue, pink, yellow, white and grey.

All this is going to happen on July 1st in China, and it remains to be seen whether the Mi Pad is to feature in Xiaomi’s expansion to overseas markets any time soon.
