Which display saves Battery life: AMOLED or LCD?

Often the question of “Which smartphone do you advise me that will saves battery life,” becomes very complicated, because each battery lasts depending on the type of use that we make of it. Anyway one of the most frequently asked questions is "How to saves battery life of our smartphone?" and, as the usual advice can be helpful, now we show you another reason why the life of our battery can be slightly elongated.

The issue is particularly also because the main culprits of poor battery life are the displays of smartphones that, depending on the model, can be LCD or AMOLED (including the main). What are the differences?

AMOLED vs LCD: Who consumes more battery?

Despite the eyes of the inexperienced may seem the almost the same and the same thing, but between AMOLED and LCD there are net differences:

LCD Display: This type of screens mounted on many of the Android devices on the market, when it displays an image, not reflected by its own light but uses that of panels placed under them. Thus, even a black image, with a display LCD, it shows lit and never darkened, because the panel at the bottom there will always return a light pulse.

Display AMOLED: These displays, however, are more intelligent in that they use their power to provide the image on the screen that then we’re going to look at. The question battery, then, seems to be better with these panels, with a black background, use less energy as each individual pixel will be powered separately.

Essentially, therefore, the trick of the black background is functioning only on devices that mount an AMOLED display (i.e the setting of a screen very dark or totally black to exploit the special characteristic of AMOLED panels), since, as we have already said, a background black could make remain deactivated few pixels and, accordingly, could make us saves battery life up to 6% per hour.

In the smartphone with display LCD, this trick does not work because even with a black background, the panels will always continue to light and, consequently, to consume battery.

Therefore, AMOLED display saves battery life of your smartphone.

【GUIDE】 How to Rip a DVD

Say you have a movie on DVD, but you want to watch it on your phone, tablet, somewhere else. You can "rip" that DVD—or turn it into a movie file on your computer—to play it wherever you want. Here's how to do it.

Ripping a movie to your hard drive can seem like a complicated task, but it's actually pretty simple. There are a lot of ways to do it and a lot of different programs out there, but our favorite method uses a program called Handbrake. It's easy to use, it's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it'll convert your file into compatible formats for any device, like an iPad or Android phone. The video above should walk you through the process, but you can follow along with these instructions.

1. Head to Handbrake's homepage and download the program. Install it to your computer as directed.
2. By default, Handbrake can rip unprotected DVDs, but most DVDs you buy from the store have copy protection. To get around this, you'll need to install libdvdcss. On Windows, you can download this file separately (for 32-bit systems and for 64-bit systems), rename it to libdvdcss.dll, and put it in your Handbrake program folder (C:\Program Files\Handbrake). If you're on a Mac, download this file and double-click to install it.
3. Insert the DVD you want to rip, and open Handbrake.
4. Click the Source button in the upper left-hand corner and choose your DVD drive from the list. It will start scanning your DVD, which could take a few minutes.
5. When it's done, head to the "Title" drop-down menu in the upper left hand corner of the window. This is where you'll select which part of the DVD you want to rip. In the case of movies, it's usually the longest title, so just pick that one. If you're ripping episodes of a TV show, it's usually the 22 or 44 minute ones, and you'll have to rip them each separately.
6. Click the Browse button on the right side of the window. Navigate to where you want to save your movie file, and type in a file name in the box. Click OK.\
7. Next, head to the bar on the right labeled "Presets". This is where you'll choose what format the resulting file will be in. If you just want to watch it on your computer, the "Normal" or "High Profile" preset is fine. If you want to watch it on something like your iPod or iPhone, though, pick the correct preset from the list.
8. Hit the Start button at the top of the window. This will take awhile, so you'll probably want to grab a cup of tea.
9. When it's done, you'll get a popup notification. From there, you can double-click on your movie file to watch it, or sync it to your device of choice. Enjoy!

It seems like a lot of steps at first, but it really isn't very difficult—especially after your first time through. Once you've installed the libdvdcss file, for example, you can skip that step in the future.

It's just a matter of picking the right chapter from the DVD and ripping it to the right format. Note that if you're going to be ripping a lot of DVDs, you can head to Tools > Options (or Handbrake > Preferences, if you're on a Mac), and hit "Browse" next to "Default Path" to choose a location for all the other movies you rip in the future. You can also click "Add to Queue" instead of "Start" and rip multiple files at once, which is great for ripping TV shows.

Good luck and enjoy your newly ripped DVD!

The Building That Looks Down on Airplanes

Sunshine City is a commercial complex that features a variety of facilities including an office building, aquarium, observatory, and shopping center. The Sunshine Building was built on the site where Suginamo Prison — where Mr. Makiguichi and Mr. Toda were imprisoned — once was.

When you don't feel like doing gongyo or daimoku, get on the green train in Tokyo that circles downtown I. and look out for the "Sunshine Building" near K--- station. This was built by someone who did not skip gongyo and daimoku for 30 years.

Once there was man who was so completely down and out that he had made up his mind to commit suicide. He was in debt to his ears, his wife was blind, and his child had problems. But before he died, he wanted to have one last meal of his favorite dish — a vegetable stew called "oden."

As he was walking around town in the evening shadows looking for a stew shop, he noticed a warm, gentle glow of lanterns coming from a place tucked in a corner. There were a number of people milling about. "Ah, a stew shop!" he delightedly mused. He walked briskly toward the light.

As he entered and made his way through the small crowd, he realized he had made a mistake. It was a lecture. When he asked a person nearby, he was told that the speaker was a Mr. Toda.

After listening, the man demanded of Mr. Toda, "If this Nam Myoho-renge-kyo is so powerful, will my financial problems be resolved?! Will my wife see?! Will my child's problems be resolved?!"

To this, Mr. Toda replied: "Don't be ridiculous! If all it did were petty things like that, I wouldn't be doing this! Your financial problems will be resolved! Your wife will be able to see! And your child's problems will be resolved! Not only that, you will become a wealthy man! You will build a building that even looks down on airplanes! Do morning and evening gongyo and chant daimoku every day."

Not because the man believed any of it, but because he was moved by the powerful conviction Mr. Toda had, he began to practice. Although it was difficult at first, he faithfully followed President Toda's instructions. He did not skip gongyo. He did morning and evening gongyo and chanted one and a half hour of daimoku every day.

Sure enough, results began to happen. His financial problems were solved. His wife was no longer blind. His child no longer had such problems. The man even became vice president of a board in his company even though he was not well-educated like most of his peers. He became wealthy. His child became active in the youth division. Things exceeded his expectations.

At the mark of practicing 30 years, he was seen standing on the top of a building, mumbling through tears. The man was standing on the top of a skyscraper that he had built. "It all became true! This building even looks down on airplanes! After 30 years ... Thank you Sensei, thank you Soka Gakkai!"

It wasn't many years later that the man passed away in his 80's, leaving a legacy of consistent practice. But before he did, he often pointed to the skyscraper and said, "This shows the power of daimoku! I am here to say it. So please, do morning and evening gongyo and chant daimoku."

So when you don't feel like doing gongyo or chanting daimoku, take a look at the "Sunshine Building." It's still there.

當工作出現這5個警訊，你應該考慮提出辭呈吧！

本文作者 Elizabeth Mclaughlin 為華爾街前知名律師，隨後轉職位一名經理人教練，她幫助許多專業的經理人在各自的領域提高另一階層的成功。

身為一名幫助其他人進行轉換工作的經理人教練，我常常遇到的第一個問題就是：怎樣知道自己是時候該離開一份正在做的工作？ 這是一個需要很仔細並嚴謹考量的決策。在某些特定的情況下，去尋找新工作，會對於你職業生涯或是你的身心靈健康產生一定程度的損害風險。

當有這 5 個信號發生時，我會建議你馬上開始思考採取轉換職場跑道的行動。

• 你的工作沒有發展空間的可能性

你是否被困在一個你被告知沒有機會升職的工作？對於你的工作，你是不是有一些很負面的想法？

身處於一個你沒有機會獲得獎勵還有晉升的工作，儘管你很盡責或是得到了很高的薪水，你只會覺得很沉悶，最糟的情況下還會被炒魷魚或停職。所以，在你還沒有開始面對更多的負面情況時，開始去尋找你新的工作吧！

• 你的工作已經變成是一種慣例

你是不是每一天都參與那些你認為連你在睡覺時都可以做的工作？你是否已經在一個同樣的工作崗位上 3 年至 5 年了，而且沒有新的機會或者是職責去發展？

特別是在現今的經濟，當很多的企業已經開始瘋狂的創新時，保持自己的最佳狀態以及保有你工作上的本領是很重要的。

一份可以激發你的工作，肯定會讓你的工作變得更加好玩，而不是讓沉悶佔上風。

• 你的工作環境被不好的界限圍繞

什麼是不好的界限？

以下有幾個例子：因為被其他人打擾你的辦公桌，而沒有辦法在無打擾的狀態下去完成你的案子；你工作的環境裏總是圍充斥著許多八卦是非、明爭暗鬥以及辦公室政治；你的同事經常下班後喝醉酒，並且強迫你一起喝；或是你的老闆在辦公室裡有婚外情，甚至影響到其他人。

我經常被問到：是否有可能在存在這些問題的情形下「更換」老闆或是環境？

答案是：很難。

通常，當界限被他人觸犯的工作環境都是被有問題的人領導著，而這些行為是從上層傳遞而來。如果你的工作環境是這樣的話，不要嘗試去修正它，而是馬上去尋找新的工作。

• 你在生理上、情緒上有很大的壓力

這幾年，我看見因為一直忍耐在高度壓力的環境下工作，直到生病的顧客，有正在增加的趨勢。受到如盲腸以及脫髮等生理上的困擾，或是情緒上如嚴重的沮喪還有焦慮；我也見過依賴酒精或藥物來維持工作的顧客，最後在我這裡接受治療。

如果你看見自己正在這條路上，一定要馬上離開。沒有一份工作值得你用你的健康來換－－不管收入有多高，不管有多厲害，不管你一開始有多想要那份工作。待在這樣的環境下，你所經歷的一切只會更加的糟糕。你必須知道你值得更均衡和諧的人生，並且要想盡辦法去達成它。

• 你的上司有虐待傾向

想都不用想，當你知道每一天有多少位跟我合作的經理人都在忍受上司的虐待行為時，你一定會感到驚訝。

然而，是什麼造成這樣的虐待性行為？

如果你的上司對你咆哮，丟東西，看扁你甚至在別人面前侮辱你；或者是每一天都在威脅你的飯碗時；還有當你受到以各種形式的騷擾時，你的上司就是一個有施虐傾向的人，而你就是正在跟一名有虐待行為的上司工作了。

沒有人應該被這樣對待。很遺憾的，很多的公司都為了利益，又或者是不敢得罪另外一方而忍受著這些行為。

你不必忍受這樣的行為，無論你現在有多大的無力感也好，你是有選擇的。

首先就是要修復好你的自尊心。當你被虐待而灌輸了不好的價值觀時，你必須要採取準備離開的行動。重新審視你的履歷表、整理你的面試服裝並且開始寄出申請表格，馬上做。

當你下定決心，離開對你沒有意義的工作時，你已經邁向一個更加平衡、成功還有快樂的人生。今天就整頓好自己，告訴這個世界你是個有價值的人，而且你值得更好的未來。

• 採取行動，你將擁抱更棒的人生

對新的機遇保持敞開心胸的態度，還有最重要的是，採取行動。

總而言之，有良好的能力、願意付出以及堅定的毅力，你喜愛的工作就會是你的，所以，馬上去爭取吧！

【Android】How to Enable/Add international languages into settings on Samsung Galaxy S4

Background: Samsung/T-Mobile/AT&T, Android version 4.2.2, had not includes the Chinese language and many others. The only languages available was: Deutsch, English, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, and 한국의.

Causes: Android is the most popular platform for mobile devices like phones and tablets across the world with billions of user base and millions of new activation per day. There are more than 200 countries (dependent and independent) with people speaking various languages. All of us like to have the user interface and input language of our device to be in our native tongue to which we are so innately connected.

Since it is not possible for any OEM to put all languages in every device universally, they generally divide the world into regions and countries and offer languages and connectivity options depending on that specific region. With the growth in technological advancements, the vast world has also grown into a smaller place with people of one country live in other countries. To address this issue, most OEMs ship their devices with some most spoken languages pre-loaded. However, under your Android device language settings you might not be able to see them all because they are hidden by default.

English, being an international language, can be found in all devices but the case might be different with other languages like Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Thai, Russian, Portuguese, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Greek, Indonesian, Polish, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and so on. If you have installed a firmware meant for some other country/region on your Android device, you may or not find your language in it. There are no separate language packs available for users that can be downloaded and installed.

Get Your Native Language without Root
If you do not have root access on your Android device, you can still get your local language on it. Google Play Store has a very nice app for this. It is called MoreLocale 2 and is available for free.

MoreLocale 2 Download @ Google Play

If MoreLocale 2 does not work for you try the following method that requires root access.


Enabling international Languages within Settings for Android Samsung Galaxy S4 with ROOT needed

Quick Instructions:

1. You will need to root your phone.
2. Download and install “Root Browser” from the Play Store.
3. Open the app and navigate to “/system/csc”
4. Delete or rename “language.xml”

Picture Instructions:

1. Make sure you have custom ROM that are based on the official Samsung ROM.
   The ROM in the screenshot that is using the Wicked ROM Version 9.1
   
   


2. You have to install “Root Browser” from the Play Store App.
   
   


3. Open up “Root Browser” and make sure you download/install all the prerequisites when you first open the app.
   
   


4. Within the “Root Browser,” navigate to the folder:  /system/csc
   
   


5. Rename or delete language.xml
6. Restart your cell phone if needed. Now, you can see all the available languages within the Android system.
   
   

That’s all, now you should be able to see all the international Languages of your choice.

【Android】Root Samsung Galaxy S4 (or Almost Any Other Android Phones) in One Easy Click with 【Kingo Android ROOT】

For new Android users, rooting an Android phone can often be an intimidating process, especially since there are so many different ways to gain root access, depending on your model and firmware version.

I've previously covered a way of doing it for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that has the MF3 firmware on it, but you needed an SD card reader, unzipping software, a terminal emulator, and more. Definitely not an easy task for a first-time rooter.

However, thanks to the crafty developers at Kingo App, root can be attained with just one click now, and not just for the GS4, but for almost any Android phone on the market.

Read & Heed, Before You Proceed
You'll need to have the following components ready:

• Your Samsung Galaxy S4
• Micro USB cable
• A Windows PC

Also be aware this rooting method does not install a custom recovery. A recovery is a software that lets you flash custom ROMs like CyanogenMod onto your phone, as well as perform system level maintenance, like backing up and restoring nandroid files. You'll have to manually install a recovery yourself if you'd like to do that.

If you have the Verizon Galaxy S4 with ME7 firmware, or AT&T Galaxy S4 with MF3 firmware, unfortunately your bootloader is locked, so you won't be able to install a custom recovery at all. Attempting to install a recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP will likely turn those SGS4 variants into nothing more than shiny, expensive paperweights.

Even if your Galaxy S4's bootloader is locked, you can still attain root with this method.

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging
You'll need to have Developer options enabled, which you can easily do by following Faisal's softModder guide. You can then access Developer options by going to your SGS4's Settings -> More, and it'll be the second from the bottom. Tap on it, then make sure USB debugging is checked.

Step 2: Download & Install Kingo Root on Your PC
This one-click rooting method is provided by Kingo. You can grab the PC software from their download page. The download should start within a few seconds of opening the page on your computer. If you have another device to root, Kingo probably supports it too (just make sure to check out their list of compatible devices for reference).

Once you've downloaded the file, open it up and run the installer, then open up the program.

Step 3: Connect Your SGS4 to the PC
Connect your Galaxy S4 to your computer with the micro-USB cable. Kingo Root will detect it and start installing the device's drivers (if necessary).

You may be prompted to disconnect the phone for the drivers to finish installing. Go ahead and disconnect the cable, and Kingo will let you know when to reconnect it.

Keep an eye on your phone for an "Allow USB debugging?" alert. Make sure to choose OK.

Step 4: Get Ready to Root!
You should now be at this screen in Kingo:

Read through King's Root Notifications, then click the orange ROOT button when you're ready. This step may take a few minutes, and once it's successful, you should see this screen:

Click the Finish button and reboot your SGS4.

Step 5: Verify Root with Root Checker
Download joeykrim's very popular Root Checker app from Google Play, which verifies whether your device has root or not.

Open up the app then tap on the Verify Root Access button. A Superuser request should pop up, so select Grant.

You'll now see the words that every softModder wants to see on their Android phone: "Congratulations! This device has root access!"

You're Rooted! Now What?
With root privileges on your device, you can now install apps and mods that require root access. One of the most popular modifications to install is the Xposed framework. It's quite simple to install, and once it's on your phone, you can add all sorts of mods and customizations.
