Hey guys Whats up? It's Santhosh kumar again. Good to see you guys supporting my blog. Since a full time blogger I had to design some themes for the blog...

Hi guys this is my third article on a single day feeling happy to do so since I turned a full time blogger.

You might end up here with this article only if you know about OnePlus One I think. We all know how great was and is the Chinese manufacturer's OnePlus One, still being a year old. That was why the phone got the popularity, providing the best price to performance ratio. I don't know about the mentality of the people in other countries, but in India, price is a very sensitive matter. Putting into simple words, India is the most highly price sensitive market. And at the same time there are a lot of people who are brand loyal and only go for highly famous and branded phones. Still OnePlus managed to surprise the consumers in India with a considerable price for a single SIM device and steal the hearts of the brand loyals. While I was worrying about the invite system that OenPlus used to sell their product, they surprisingly removed the invite system for the OnePlus One.

The specs:

The specs of the OnePlus device was leaked the last Thursday which were beastly. The model number of the phone was found to be "A2003". The name of the devicce has not been confirmed that it's a OnePlus Device. But relating the specs to what CEO of OnePlus said in an interview, they come close. 

The phone has 3GB of RAM with a 64Bit Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 GPU. The scree size and the resolution remaining the same the internals are getting stronger. The camera is expected to be Sony's 20MP sensor with OIS.

The price of this phone will be around $400.

Will I go for this?

Sure i would love to give phone a try. But this could never be my daily driver unless it has a dual sim setup and expansion memory. Life for me without two sim cards is almost impossible. And therefore I will be using the Zenfone 2 offering from Asus. The only reason I don't use OnePlus One is the lack of dual sim and memory expansion. Also in terms of performance the zenfone 2 is + or - 0.5 than the OnePlus One. So the choice of selecting is totally dependent on your life style. Let's wait for the confirmed specs.

Hi guys wazup. This is Santhosh kumar back again with an android article. In the previous article I wrote about fixing the grey wifi bars in android. Fixing that requires...

Hi people happy to announce that I'm from today (23/04/2015) on, a full time blogger and I also have some plans to make video solutions and link them to the text in the posts i make. and video for this post will also be added soon. I'm waiting for my camera to be delivered. Alright now let's get to the point.

I have an android device for my personal use, my dad has a tablet and a phone and my mom has a tablet for their uses. We all experienced a similar problem with the wifi signal bars turning out grey and won't turn back blue. I initially had no idea of why that happens and read in some website that it has something to be tweaked in the part of tcp port numbers dealing in the wifi router and much more with almost one solution extending more than 5 pages involving codes to put in the command window. But don't scare I finally found a simple solution for the root users. Sadly this article is not for unroot users.

For android newbies who don't know what rooting is, read this article.

Why worry about grey bars:

The grey signal bars in android is an indication that google apps won't open in you device. Not literally. The app might open and keep loading for ever. For example you can't sign into google, you can't use gmail app, you can't use the calendar, and so and so. And my nightmare being the youtube app which won't load. Some might find alternative apps for the above said apps like I did when I din't know the solution. The most important thing is that Google Play Store will not load at all. You will get server timed out error. So here's the fix.

Fix:

All you need to do is to add a character in the second line of the hist file which exists in the system\etc in the root directory. I'll put on a step by step procedure on how to do so.

STEP 1:

Get any root file explorer for you device from playstore. If the playstore doesn't work find the apk online and install it.

I personally use MiXplorer which I got from XDA forums. Most of you might use the Root explorer app. Both will work fine.

Just in case you don't know about MiXplorer click here to learn more about the features and why I use it.

STEP 2:

If you are using MiXplorer, swipe from the left to right of the screen and find the label ROOT in the list. When you touch it you will be prompted for the root access. Just provide like you do for other apps. How you navigate to the root folder depends on the file explore you are using. In Root explorer this could be a bit cumbersome for the new users.

STEP 3:

Navigate to " system->etc " and find the file named hosts and open it as a text file.

STEP 4:

You will find some lines of ip address in them.

On the second line, add "#" without quotes.

before edit:

127.0.0.1      localhost

127.81.104.152 android.clients.google.com

after edit:

127.0.0.1      localhost

#127.81.104.152 android.clients.google.com.

Save it and reboot the phone. Now you will have every google apps working and you need not find any alternative apps for the ones offered by google.
