Repair corrupt cycorder movie file

January 27th, 2010 Amit No comments

I am big fan of cycorder video recorder. Recorder very well adds the missing feature of recording in iPhone 2G, 3G.
It really sucks at times when one records a video and try to play this and it displays a message that video can’t be played.
As of now there is no solution present as per my knowledge :-( . There is some hope after seeing road map on Saurik’s site. It may take a month or two for the next release. So don’t delete your important videos, which are corrupted. You can be able to play them after a while :-) .

January 14th, 2010 Amit 1 comment

Lots of smart phone have made entry since the launch of iPhone. Almost all the phones have been compared with iPhone every time. iPhone may not be the phone with lots of features that other smart phones offer but there is no doubt about the usability and quality of iPhone. App store puts iPhone first in this list.
With the launch of Nexus-one, iPhone’s short comings have become noticeable now. People have started speculating about next version of iPhone 4G. Here is list of features, people are thinking about iPhone 4G.
1. Dual-core processor
2. 5 Mega Pixel camera
3. Camera on both side for video chat and video recording
4. Better, replaceable battery option
5. More storage capacity
6. Flash support
7. Graphics card for better graphics
8. Higher resolution

With these features, iPhone will be again far away from the race of all the smart phones. We are expecting launch of new iPhone at the end of April’10. Lets see what is apple going to offer us this time. Let us know about your opinion for the same.

Apple’s next generation iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

All the rumours and guesses are over. Apple’s next generation iPhone 3G[S] is announced officially. Apple is not removing their old iPhone 3G at this time. They’ll start selling iPhone 3G for 99$ in US and new iPhone 3G[S] will be sold for 199$ and 299$ for 16 and 32 GB respectively.

iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G[S] both are loaded with iPhone 3.0. So from software point of view both are same. The difference in iPhone 3G[S] is hardware. iPhone 3G[S] has better processor, additional ram, good camera and compass.

Main highlights of iPhone 3G[S]

  1. Better processing power. Almost everything is 2 times faster than iPhone 3G
  2. 3 Mega pixel auto focus camera for great picture quality. By tapping on image you can set your focus point.
  3. It can record 30FPS high quality VGA video in landscape and portrait mode.
  4. Voice controls for calling your contacts or playing your song lists. It allows you to query information regarding a playing song.
  5. Build in digital Compass, which reorients maps in the direction you are facing. Also it is a new technology for developers. I am sure that we’ll see some great application and games by using compass.
  6. Cut, Copy and paste across applications.
  7. Landscape keyboard layout for messaging and emailing.
  8. Send text, pic, video, location or contact to anyone. You can even forward messages to others.
  9. Spotlight search. One search for all your contacts, emails, calendars, notes, songs and videos.
  10. Surf the web from practically anywhere. Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop.
  11. Store voice recording of your notes and meetings.
  12. Nike Application
  13. and many more….

Recording video in iPhone (V 2.0.1)

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

There are few paid video recorder available in iPhone. I tried one of them but was not happy with the quality and it takes too much time in saving video to the disk. Recently I tried cycorder, which is available free of cost. I like this recorder as it doesn’t take time in saving video. Quality of recorded video is awesome. You can’t expect better quality than this in 2 M Pixel camera.
To install cycorder, you must have jailbroken iPhone which is running firmware 2.0 or above. Go to cydia search option and type cycorder. Now install it like you installed other packages using cydia.

Speech recognition for the iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

One of the missing features in iPhone is speech recognition capability. It doesn’t give the flexibility of voice commands e.g. (voice dialing). If you are missing speech commands in iPhone, try using Vocalia.

Vocalia is a powerful speech recognition application. It helps you in finding a contact using voice command. You can call or send email to the selected contact. It is easy to use; it doesn’t require any kind of recording against the contact. It provides phonemic transcriptions for all the contacts (English only).

Vocalia is available in iTunes App Store. It’s not available in Cydia or other jailbroken installer.

Recording video from iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Arvind No comments

Sometime I really feel unhappy about all the iPhone users. Poor guys don’t have a video recorder in iPhone. Being a very revolutionary and advance phone, It doesn’t have a video recorder. We have a second version of iPhone out in the market and still, the very important feature of recording video is missing. Thanks to 3rd party application developers. They have done written a video recorder for you. If you have installed cydia or installer, you can easily search iPhone Video Recorder and you’ll get it. This is not free software. You need to pay for it. If you want to use it for free then there is a crack available for it.
View this video and follow the instructions

Don’t forget to set the permission of newly copied file to 0755. To set permission of file in winSCP, right click on the file you want to update the permission, now click on properties. You’ll see a permission window. Update permission to new permissions. Click on ‘Ok’. Restart iPhone and you are ready with video recorder in iPhone. Enjoy!!!

After buying iPhone 3G, I was disappointed

August 23rd, 2009 iPhoneInterest No comments

Earlier when I was using iPhone 2G, I was quite happy with the results. The touch experience was never so great in phones as it was is in iPhone.

Web Browsing, iPod, and a phone, it is no doubt one of the best phones present in the market. When I shifted to iPhone 3G, I was very excited about it. When you have older version in your hand you start expecting better in newer version.

After buying iPhone 3G, I was disappointed. I found following problems

1. Switching to Edge network while there is strong 3G signal present.

2. Call drop during the conversation.

3. It still has 2 M Pixel camera while there are 4 M Pixel camera mobile phone present in the market.

4. No video recording this time too.

5. No MMS in iPhone 3G.

6. Still there is no way to copy and paste some text so if you want to give some contact information to some colleague, you need to remember the contact information first then type it ?.

7. No second camera for video calls as it makes sense in 3G phones.

After having so much of drawbacks, I still have iPhone 3G and I can’t have another phone as I am used to of some great features it has. Now decision is your whether you want to buy it now or wait for newer version of iPhone.
