The Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.4 2 passes KitKat, what … – Test Mobile

It is late Friday afternoon that the South Korean firm Samsung has started the deployment of the update Android 4.4 KitKat for a phone size (literally); Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Test-Mobile now offers a comprehensive review of news.

It all begins Saturday, April 26 at 2:00 am, taken by an intuition and an attack of insomnia, I decide to navigate through the menus on my phone, the search box of automatic updates enabled, slightly stubborn, I disable the option and forces my phone to find an update. Tada! My device offers me an update of 428mo. End of story.

As you guessed, no notification was displayed on my phone, it is for this that I urge you to go digging in the settings of your terminal (if you have not had notification). The update is also available via Samsung Kies , but the latter having planted in the middle of the procedure (even in administrator mode), I leave you the choice to venture to this manipulation.

However, if you do not receive the update, please note that updates usually arrive by serial number . I said that this update is intended as a first step to bare terminals (having been bought off operator pack) .

20140428-094909.jpg

What’s New

Here is a list of new quoted by Samsung and recorded by us:

Updating the OS (KitKat 4.4.2)

 

  • album cover will be displayed on the lock screen when playing music
  •  

  • Presence of a new “launcher” in the settings menu (sets the default launcher, and the SMS application to use)
  •  

  • Presence of a new camera shortcut picture on the lock screen
  •  

  • Improved interface and improved stability
  •  


    Edit Arnaud Montebourg: Note that France is the first country to acquire this update

    In fact

    Nothing transcendent for this update, it is a minor update . It restores a youthful look to the Galaxy Note 2 by adding some interface elements Samsung Galaxy S5 while remaining uncluttered (no abusive integration paint flat design) .

    lock screen

    lock screen itself has not undergone large changes, we can simply note the presence of a quick access to photo device. Options to add other shortcuts with the display of a personal message are still present. The point I grumbles: Adding artwork wallpaper Lock when listening to music. The idea itself is not bad, this is what annoys made extremely pixelated of the image, while the definition of it in my music file measure 1500X1500 pixels (no display problem on computer). Damage to the manufacturer who started with good intentions. Note however the ability to navigate in the song long press on the lock screen (very handy)

    lockscreen-kitkat.png

    drawer notification

    notification drawer has changed little, we can note the presence of new icons for the brightness and GPS, police notification reminds mind flat design found on the Galaxy S5.

    notifications-kitkat.png

    Welcome screen

    No change for it, however, we regret the absence of new widgets. The taskbar has remained in the minds KitKat , always integrating with wallpaper, she switched to white icons.

     homescreen-kitkat.png

    Side multitasking , it is now clearer with a magnified typo and wider spacing between each task , the management is better, we appreciate.

    autonomy

    autonomy has not much moved. To maintain a good life, I suggest you stay with the original charger or recharge your device with a brand charger (Energizer Type) approved by Samsung . Do not forget to perform calibrations battery to be sure that the battery level displayed by your phone is reliable.

    For problems on the level of autonomy loading off unit, seems that the bug has been corrected

    Conclusion

    This update is good overall, only weaknesses which we denote. the ‘pixelated display artwork on the lock screen , non updating widgets (they get older!) and the lack of update for the camera. Note, however monitoring quality Samsung , the apparatus having almost two years , it currently received all the latest versions of Android. We encourage Samsung to continue on this path.

    Positives

    • Follow manufacturer through the update
    •  

    • Latest version of Android (KitKat)
    •  

    • Update friendly interface
    •  

    • music controls on the lock screen
    •  

    Negatives

    Displaying artworks pixelated (on screen lock)

     

  • widgets have not been updated.

    The rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S & P) announced Friday that it confirms the long-term credit rating of France to AA with a negative outlook remains stable.

    S & P points out that the “French government is engaged in reducing the cost of labor and corporate taxation in order to improve the competitiveness of the economy. “

    She believes that government spending cuts will gradually reduce the budget deficit to less 3% of GDP by 2017, adding that the public debt should “remain high relative to GDP and continue to grow until 2017.”

    In a statement, S & P recalls that the “stable” outlook indicates the possibility of an increase or a downgrade in the next two years is less than one in three.

    Last week, Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced that France would achieve 50 billion euros in savings between 2015 and 2017 including temporarily freezing the benefits but without renouncing the recruitment of officials promised François Hollande.

    La France, who won last year two more years to bring its public deficit limit of 3% of GDP, must convince the European Commission that it arrives in late 2015 to avoid financial penalties and public embarrassment.

    The French government expects an acceleration of growth to 1.0% this year and 1.7% next year, to bring the public deficit of 4 3% of GDP at end-2013 to 3.8% in 2014 and 3.0% in 2015.

    S & P says France to anticipate a “real GDP growth 1.3% on average for the period 2014-2014, against an average of 1% for 2010-2013. “

    to justify raising its rating, the S & P also argues that the gross domestic product (GDP) Cyprus contracted less than expected last year (about 5.4% in 2013) and considers the country will be able to repeat this in 2014 “outperform.”

    He noted that these increases vote for one, and perspective to the other is not meant to mean the end of the recession.

    “We are not able at this time to say whether we have overcome our problems, but these increases confirm that we are moving in the right direction, “he judged.

    satisfecit Combined with the Trio donor, after three reviews of the developments on the island,” we can say that they provide a solid base (…) for a return to economic growth as quickly as possible, “said the president.

    M. Anastasiades stated in particular that the best ratings help Cyprus to attract foreign investors.

    Cypriot President also reiterated the government’s commitment to respect the austerity program, while commending the population ” his patience and maturity “to face difficulties.

    After Moody’s in February, the rating agency Fitch raised Friday note attached to the debt of Spain by one notch stressing that country risks “dropped” a new delighted that despite Madrid persistent concern about unemployment.

    The new rating assigned by Fitch to Spain’s fourth largest economy in the euro zone remains in the category of issuers average, able to cope with their obligations.

    The agency accompanying this note a “stable” outlook, meaning that it does not intend to change in the coming months.

    “The risks associated with the creditworthiness of Spain declined since its credit rating was lowered to ‘BBB’ in June 2012, “Fitch wrote in a statement a few days before the grant of a European aid for its banks, whose profound difficulties had shaken the country and provoked strong distrust of markets.

    “Financing conditions have improved, the economic outlook is safer and the risk that Spanish banks represent an additional burden sovereign debt fell, “wrote the agency.

    Fitch also highlights the “solid” effort by Spain to reduce its public deficit, which had exploded to 11% of GDP in 2009 and was brought back, besides helping banks to 6.6% of GDP at end 2013, in line with the target set with Brussels (6.5%).

    Scope for more than a decade by the sectors of construction and real estate, the economy was hit twice, in 2008, by the bursting of the housing bubble and the global financial crisis.

    After six years marked by two recessions, Spain timidly returned in 2013 with growth, which has accelerated since January, according to estimates from the Bank of Spain.

    “Spain will grow in 2014 by more than 1% in 2015 and our growth is well above 1.5%,” said Thursday the head of the Conservative government, Mariano Rajoy.

    Fitch welcomed Friday the progressive improvement: “The rating reflects the diversified economy and high-value added of Spain, which is still recovering slowly after level credit bubble.”

    Among the attractions of Spain to confirm his recovery, yet shy, Fitch points to its current account balance, which recorded in 2013 are first surplus since 1986. “This improvement will contribute to help reduce the heavy net external debt of Spain in the medium term “, analyzes the agency.

    The Spanish Ministry of Economy expressed his satisfaction in a statement: “The Fitch is the second among the largest, after Moody’s in February, to improve the rating of Spanish debt.”

    “We believe that these developments are very positive, especially the recognition of the government’s commitment to reform,” he wrote.

    “The pursuit of these reforms will consolidate the economic recovery, which will help to contain the deficit and allow for net job creation this year, “he continued.

    Unemployment, near its record high at 25.73% (Thursday revised figure), however, continues to weigh heavily on the economy. The Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has acknowledged this week that “a country with 26% unemployment from a level that is terrifying.”

    So, Fitch nuançait Friday his enthusiasm about Spain, noting that his bill “remains lower than other major economies”: “Its growth prospects in the medium term are low, all sectors of the economy is still heavily indebted and unemployment remaining exceptionally high . “

Recently, the vice-president of the South Korean firm has even dropped a huge bombshell by saying that the next version of the phablette benefit of a unique design.

And just imagine that some specialty sites even think that Note 4 could approach, or at least look like a concept exploiting YOUM technology , a concept that was introduced at CES 2013. Quite a program, in fact.

    The YOUM is not a range, it is not a terminal and is actually a flexible screen technology. Every year at CES, Samsung introduced its advanced and sometimes even a prototype. He had done during the 2013 edition of the show and some of you may remember this funny smartphone with a current up to its borders screen. If this is not the case, then you can refer to this article.

    Samsung might be tempted to use this technology in the design of the Galaxy Note 4 and a lot of people think so that it could incorporate screen consists of three separate sections , a screen extending to edges of the device. All with a few optimizations software order history to fully exploit this configuration. The firm would even remove physical buttons in these areas for the benefit of tactile controls providing more interactions.

    Surprising? Not so much as a rumor actually since the beginning of the year, and more specifically since January. That said, it seems to do it more and more followers over time. And while we’re at, know that it is also the question Note 4 carries smarter stylus , a stylus that would even be able to act as a handsfree kit.

    Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille … left footing the bill in … – The Point

    logical consequence of the defeat of the Left in the municipal elections, Most urban communities are now under the control of the right, however, the Socialists reaching limit the damage here and there.

    The right, including the UMP, is thus assured a new lever power, valuable for national ambition and conquest that will allow him to prove himself at the local level.

    metropolises, urban communities, and to a lesser extent, urban communities around medium-sized cities brew indeed considerable sums of money: Greater Lyon (1.35 million) manages a budget close to € 2 billion, Lille (1.1 million inhabitants) of an envelope . 1.7 md

    Urban communities (13 out of 15 will become cities in January 2016 with more powers) do indeed have skills far beyond those of the cities that are: development economic, spatial planning, waste management, habitat and housing, roads and sanitation and (but not always) transport.

    All new EU executive (President and Vice-Presidents) will be in place on May 3 at the latest.

    Last ballot date Lille Métropole is no longer in the hands of the socialists who “reigned” for half a century and are a minority, after the loss of Roubaix and Tourcoing, among others. It is however with the support of Martine Aubry that was elected mayor without a label of a rural municipality near Damien Castelain. The voting portends a consensual management, PS and UMP do not consider themselves in opposition

    -. A Lyon, Collomb resistant –

    At the same time, Alain Juppé, Mayor re-elected Bordeaux from the first round with 61% of the vote, took over the presidency of the Urban Community of Bordeaux (CUB), which switched right after the loss of six mayors from the left. But a “cooperation agreement” was reached between right, PS, PCF and EELV to manage all the urban community, as was already the case under the outgoing chair of Vincent Feltesse (PS).

    Although in the minority voice, Gérard Collomb (PS) has managed to retain the direction of Grand Lyon with the assistance of various elected right. January 1, 2015, recovering the powers of the General Council, he will manage a budget of € 3.5 billion.

    In Marseille, after the re-election of Jean-Claude Gaudin, this is one of its UMP friends, Guy Teissier, who has the daunting task of bringing the font early 2016 the city, dedicated to public obloquy elected by common devices.

    Among the other major cities, Toulouse should also fall into the lap of the right on April 24, as Caen 25. avenge Should stay in left Montpellier and Grenoble.

    If Avignon is the only major city in France won by the left on March 30, the urban community has escaped him, the 11 elected National Front candidate who voted for the UMP. But both sides have denied any agreement.

    On the contrary, despite the loss of Limoges, PS retains control of the metropolitan area (220,000 inhabitants). Not surprisingly, it also retained Dijon.

    But after taking the central cities, the right has become the head of intercommunal Amiens, Reims, Charleville-Mézières, Tours, Roanne and Pau where François Bayrou now stack the mayor and president of the intermunicipal. Intermunicipal de Saint-Etienne and Chambery should also move to the right.

    S & P lowers rating of Nexans – Le Figaro

    The rating agency Standard & Poor’s today lowered a notch note of French manufacturer Nexans cables from BB to BB-, with a stable outlook.

    S & P believes that the income Nexans will remain “subject” in comparison to those of its U.S. and European competitors, in a statement.

    “We believe that the group will overtake its competitors from 2016, when the full effects of its restructuring plan will be felt, “the agency said.

    “Our deterioration also reflects the fact that we expect that Nexans produces a negative free cash flow in 2014-2015,” says S & P. ??

    However, the agency notes that it expects a return to “2% or 3% growth in turnover in 2014″ for Nexans.

    PACKAGING

    The packaging is not exactly the same as the Huawei Ascend P6, but it remains that it is extremely qualitative and provides a premium appearance since its opening.

    Set sublime in a small red bag, Noreve put dishes in large and brings a lot of care to the image returns the packaging of its product. You will immediately won, even before he discovered your cover.



    DESIGN / FINISH

    In our previous test, we presented a product of Perpetual range. This is more or less the classic range of the manufacturer, smooth leather. Today we test a product of a higher range, since this is the case Exception Sandy Vintage colored that we will discover.

    This time, not smooth leather, but leather back of exceptional quality. The finishes are exemplary, seams and perfect cuts and excellent quality leather. On the inner lining, it is the same color as the exterior, but with a smooth leather engraved Norêve the most beautiful effect.

    The only downside about this Exception finish, although it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and one of the most qualitative of Noreve, it is very fragile. Indeed, you will maintain your leather regularly to enable it to maintain the closest new. Surprising, however, we are faced with a real leather cover and leather is a living material, it must maintain.

    Noreve gives you very good advice for the maintenance of your products this page.

    Finally, to conclude on the design, the cover grows naturally smartphone is the lot of all the covers, but it remains that it is acceptable in terms of size and the color Sand Vintage and this quality leather will dress your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 a cover worthy of his rank.

    USE

    the use, this case is rather nice. It is well in hand and fully protects the smartphone in case of fall.

    In addition, the cuts are very well thought out and allow easy access to the USB port, power button and volume, but also stylus, which is essential with this Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

    For more picky, note first that the notification LED will not be hidden and you will still have access with a flick of eye, but you can call with the case closed without being annoying either for you or for the user. A nice improvement over the model that we tested for Huawei Ascend P6, for which the notification LED was hidden.

    However, if the cover is huge once opened, it will not prevent you use. This model is intended to be used with both hands, your habits will not change.

    On the opening and closing of the cover, they are very easy way, being on the cutting measure.

    CONCLUSION

    In our first test, we were amazed by the quality of finish of the cover for Huawei Ascend Noreve Perpetual P6, but we kept a taste of incomplete, largely because of the LED notification inaccessible.

    On this Exception model for Samsung Galaxy Note 3, we were very pleasantly surprised by the presence of a hole for the LED notification but also by the quality of suede leather. It is very pleasant to the touch and visually, it’s a marvel.

    Here we find the quality of a high end cover and high fashion brand for mobile Noreve managed to bluff us a cover of an impeccable quality of workmanship.

    However, the case grows still more the smartphone flip-cover that replace the back cover. We would have appreciated that Noreve case uses the same process, but this does not detract from the qualities of this product! You will find this product on Norêve site, with a production made the request for a price of € 59.90 on this page, which seems to be the logical price for a product of this quality.

    Damage to the firm Jsen Hsun Huang has yet quickly realized that mobility was a contract of utmost importance. But Nvidia has not said its last word and push the adoption of its processors, she decided to take matters into his own hand leaving tablet: Tegra Note. Well, not exactly.

    its slates, Nvidia will provide its partners with everything needed for they have just assemble and put their logo on it. In reality, we do not therefore have a Nvidia Tegra Note, but Gigabyte Tegra Note in our case, headed by Nvidia

    This setting will allow the hardware hand to particularly aggressive pricing.: 199 euros. For that sweet price, you’ll get a fairly robust configuration, starting with a Tegra 4 1.8 GHz with four ARM Cortex A15 and 72 hearts graphics and 1GB of RAM, a 7-inch display of 1280 x 800 and 16 GB of storage expandable up to 32GB This little world is accompanied by a stylus, hence the rating, not Tab, as we imagined at the time when the tablet n ‘was still a rumor.

    Slate is therefore not in excess, we must manage to keep prices low. It was understood, like the Nexus 7, Nvidia wants to offer the best possible value for money. Successful? Response in this test.



    Design and finishing

    As always when we want to offer aggressive pricing, the first reducing stations are obviously searching the design and materials. Unsurprisingly the Tegra Note adopts plastic to all floors. It will be all black. Note however the soft touch carved on the sides and in the center for better grip.

    With its 199 x 119 x 9.6 mm for 320 grams, the tablet could be a bit lighter, but it is pretty well designed. An even more unfortunate that the plastic is not as heavy as aluminum weight. Despite the plastic could be more noble, the tablet is also well finished. Nothing protrudes. However, it criticized a handy Micro-USB (Host) not, it will take the hand to insert the cable.

    We also found on the edge location for the stylus. The USB socket is struggling to return the pen has about it a little hard to get out, despite some small ribs for better grip finger, nail remains effective. Notice to onychophages. Ultimately, the design is not the strong point of the Tegra rating, but it is after all very logical.



    Display and User Interface

    The second concession is made by Nvidia looking at the screen. It measures 7 inches diagonally for a definition of 1280 x 800, which gives a resolution of around 215 ppi. The side of a Nexus 7 Full HD it may seem little, and it is. But the fact is that it is pretty good quality for two reasons: first, the panel uses IPS technology, and we have good viewing angles, the second is successful with well transcribed color calibration <. / p> DSC04228

    In terms of interface, Nvidia favorite Android or almost pure juice. We do not blame them that. This simplicity has another advantage: it allows Nvidia to quickly push new updates to its Tegra Note. It does not have to wait long weeks to qualify for the last upd Google. This is especially true since they are directly overseen by Nvidia and not his partner. This choice is probably one of the highlights of the Tegra Note.



    Use and Pen

    To distinguish themselves from the competition, NVIDIA opted for a home run by a technology called stylus Direct Stylus. Management it is directly integrated with the Tegra 4, and not by a third party technology as can be Wacom example. In the key, more precision, more responsiveness. This is certainly what the brand promises chameleon.

    In practice, it is difficult to really comment on the accuracy and responsiveness without measurement tools specifically designed for this purpose, note that the stylus behaves admirably. It is thus surprising to see effectively manage pressure for traits more or less imbedded in the drawing application provided on the tablet.

    In addition to this fun and frankly anecdotal when you are not designer aspect, the stylus will also allow to take notes, screenshots demarcated areas or highlight certain things of interest displayed on the screen. Nvidia has pretty much thought the stylus, the ability to ignore the inputs made to fingers proof.

    Second sympathetic addition, a Micro HDMI will obviously allow you to copy the screen of your tablet on your TV or any other device with an HDMI input. The cable is not supplied in the box.



    Performance and autonomy

    If it was a point that Nvidia was expected to turn, it was obviously on performance, after all the Tegra 4 is the heart of this tablet. Unsurprisingly SoC quad core ARM Cortex-A15 1.8GHz behaves admirably despite one GB of RAM. No latency to predict.

    This is just as well play again Nvidia proves its expertise in this area, 72 graphic cores hold the shock in all games tested. It’s even better with games optimized Tegra Zone that allow easy recognition.

    But be careful not to take it easy too with the storage space is limited. Only 16 GB is provided and the extension will be limited to 32 GB, 48 GB which gives us the best. At a time when mobile games are becoming heavier and where movies are in high definition, it will fill up quickly.

    Finally, there is autonomy, with its battery of 4100 mAh, Note the Tegra will do little more than 8 hours in the prevailing conditions. Damage.



    Photo and

    We saw 5 mpx sensors worse than the Tegra Note. The image is sometimes a bit faded, but nothing too much to meet outside. Indoors, the grain will also occur. Passing grade for the rear sensor. The minimum labor front will be enough for video, nothing more.

    Nvidia has also taken care of the photo application. It is quite well put together and offers a lot of options for fun. Obviously it is not as complete as that of HTC M8 or a Nokia 1020, but still more than enough for the common man.

    The audio output is provided by a trio of speakers, two front and one of them is special dedicated low. Nothing special to note, however. The tablet is certainly better than many competitors, but it will be sufficient to really listen to music.



    Verdict


    The value is the first argument of this Note Tegra. It is frankly difficult (impossible?) To find better at this price on the market. The stylus, whose interest could certainly be debated, is a distinctive feature that the brand has thought through and it is to his credit.

    On the other hand blame autonomy slightly behind the lack of 3G connectivity could also put off some (a 4G model will be available later but not at the same price). This is even more true that small size is more mobile than definition 10-inch tablet for example. Note the Tegra does nevertheless a good deal for anyone looking for a cheap tablet, yet smaller than Nexus
