Review of new malayalam movie Avatharam


Avatharam the new Malayalam movie from People’s hero Dileep has hit all theaters today. It is really an action thriller giving importance to emotional elements. Not only emotional it has given equal importance to romance and comedy. As the flick is from Director Joshiy everybody expects much more. Avatharam has a huge star cast.

Much appreciation should be given to Shammi Thilakan for his excellent dialogue delivery. Up to first the movie move like a comedy entertainer with perfect matching songs by Deepak Dev for emotions. After that the unexpected twists gives a thriller effect. Punching dialogues some times doesn’t get worked correctly.

Charge mobile phone using power of sound


Nokia always gives surprises to users who sticks to them. Now they are getting ready to launch a new surprise regarding charging. Imagine a day in which we can charge our mobile phone using the sound from a football match, traffic, music or own voices. This could be an amazing feature isn’t it? But we have to wait for some more time because Nokia is doing further experiment on this charging project.

Dr Joe Briscoe and Dr Steve Dunn of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is teamed up for this experiment. They have selected nanotechnology which is very smaller than our hair. These materials have a lot of chemical properties. Due to its small size it could easily acquire the energy for movement which results in vibration. For this enough sound source is necessary.

Piezoelectric materials can generate voltage whenever its structure gets squashed or stretched. For this piezoelectric material Zinc Oxide is taken so that it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Zinc Oxide is made into Nano rods or Nano wires so it can be easily placed in any surfaces. This experiment get an output voltage of five volts which is enough to charge a Nokia Lumia 925.

The day in which we could forget about the power socket for charging mobile phone is not far away and think about a mobile phone which will fulfill all your dreams . . . !

Share only if you like it.

Review of Hi! I'm Tony


Hi! I’m Tony is a suspense thriller movie with many twists. The flick gets much interesting in the second half especially the last minutes. Story line will be ended up soon but it doesn’t affect the climax part. Director Lal junior has shown his genuine creativity especially in the climax part. It will surely gives you a mind blowing experience to see the twists. Stunt scenes are also very interesting to watch. Sound effects should give a special appreciation.

It is mainly preferred those who watch suspense with many twists. Story will get started only when Tony (Lal) get enter into the life of Sameer (Asif Ali) and Tina (Mia). Cinematography done by Alby was good enough to watch Hi! I’m Tony like a Hollywood thriller flick. 

In the season of Eid 'Hi I’m Tony' will surely place a tight competition to yesterday released ‘Vikamadithyan’.

It deserves 3/5

I will tell some methods to save our phone’s battery life so that it can be used for longer period than before.

 1. Battery Saver

By using Battery Saver method battery life of your Windows phone will last longer. After using any app in your Windows phone try to close it from the option otherwise, it will get worked in background consuming battery charge. We can close all nonessential features which gets worked in background by using Battery Saver option.

After Battery Saver is turned ON then,
  • All background apps will not get functioned until you open it.
  • Automatic retrieve of emails and calendar get stopped. If you have to update it then do it manually.
  • Live tile which receive push updates will not be updated.

We choose three different options when Battery Saver get activated. The heart icon inside battery level indicator is displayed  when Battery Saver is running. Tap on Advanced option given below Battery Saver. Choose whether Battery Saver is activated when battery is below 20%, only stays active until the phone is next charged, active all the time.

 3. Turn off wireless connections

Turn off wireless connections such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC after using it. We all leave Bluetooth of our device in ON condition after using it. This consume a lot of power so don’t forget to turn it OFF. Use wired headsets other 

than Bluetooth headsets.

 4. Charging method

When charging your new Windows phone for the first time after purchase charge it completely. Sometimes it shows the battery completed message suddenly. Then turn it OFF and once again charge it. Now it indicates the correct battery level so charge up to 100% before using it.

Charge your battery only when it reaches below 10 %. Try to charge it until it shows battery full. Turn OFF charger immediately after charging is completed.

 5. Turn OFF GPS

Turn OFF GPS when it is not get used. Otherwise it will drain your battery in a fast manner. Turn it ON when you are using any location based apps in your Windows phone.

App list -> Settings -> Lock screen then, set the time to at least 30 seconds.

If you have enabled any Email account to get synchronized but you are using it frequently. Then turn Sync time to 30 minutes, 2 hours or set it to manually.
  • App list -> Settings -> Email + Accounts open your account change the option under Download new content.

New Video editor for Windows Phone


For editing the videos taken in your Windows phone, Microsoft has launched a new app called Video Tuner. This free app is for Windows phone 8.1 devices. Video Tuner will be available exclusively only for selected Lumia handsets (Nokia Lumia 630 with 4G sibling, Nokia Lumia 635 and upcoming Nokia Lumia 930).

The app has some more extra features when compared with Microsoft’s Movie Moments app. Because Movie moment app has restricted users to edit videos down to 1 minute or less. While Video tuner has the ability to shorten the length, trim, crop, rotate or flip the captured video clip. It can be also used to apply different filters and various audio tracks (add music). The app has all the basic features including exposure, saturation and contrast fixing. Any way I suggest Video Tuner than Movie Moments app for editing videos in your Windows 8.1 phone.

It allows users to export the edited videos to social networks from inside the app. Videos can be uploaded to One Drive also so that users can now take the advantage of newly updated free 15 GB data storage. Video Tuner can be now downloaded from Windows phone store.
