| Video: Nokia N9 Screen Repair – Replace Display LCD (AMOLED) + Touch Posted: 22 May 2012 04:00 PM PDT Another video for you N9 owners looking to do some DIY fixing for your Nokia N9. This time, it’s about changing the screen. This would void your warranty and you may break your device so attempt at your own risk. This is not advised, but if ever you would need some help on how to do so, this is a very useful video.

| Lumiappaday #189: Running Dude demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 Posted: 22 May 2012 03:42 PM PDT Let me start by saying this is a great game that you’re going to need to try out! If you liked Dalton that we demoed on the N9, this is like that.
This is quite simply, a running game called Running Dude. The principle is simple – just run and jump. But it’s really addictive. It has it’s own sense of quirky style with some interesting power ups in the game, such as robots to jump into, rocket packs, ones that shake your environment or flip it 180 and superman. That’s just what I came across whilst demoing it. It’s a must have at just £0.79 and there’s a free version.

| Posted: 22 May 2012 08:31 AM PDT  Here’s a nice long Render of either a fan-made concept of what WindowsPhone 8 will include or hopefully this is a Leaked UI guideline interface, there are some really interesting changes that are hopefully coming, most improtantly to me is the inclusion of the notification bar alongisde the media/volume popup bringing multiple toggles (Battery, Wifi, 3G, Lock screen/Phone, Screen orientation?). What do you guys think is this the real deal or just a wishlist? Follow on below and check out the source link for detailed explanations of each screen.

| Camera Test: Asha 302 (Surprisingly Good) #SmartPhoneLiteWeek Posted: 22 May 2012 07:20 AM PDT To be honest I wasn’t expecting much at all from this little feature phone, I was completely dismissive of it’s camera and even cheated on my No Lumia week by taking a couple pictures of a document with the 800 to avoid having to use the Ashas camera. So you can imagine that I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the output quality of it’s 3.2 MP sensor. The Video quality is quite decent FOR A FEATURE-PHONE- (keep in mind that people who purchase these phones aren’t really looking for an alternative to the Pureview, they just want something that works). The Asha 302 can pump out a maximum of 480p resolution which isn’t too shabby (I was honestly expecting the maximum to be 360p); the color reproduction while filming was spot on, no over saturation or under saturation; the green of the trees and the ugly mud brown of the dirt is exactly what it should look like. I was also impressed by the zoom in it’s video (and camera)- I’m not sure what the max zoom is (I think around X4??) but first of all it can zoom in while filming which is something neither my Lumia 800 nor the N9 can do, also the fact that it could film something that’s almost 800 meters away is a whole different story. Here’s the video (seriously check it out!): As for the camera it’s honestly the most you can ask for from a feature phone; the phone lacks a flash of any kind meaning you should probably stay away from dark places, but all in all the camera quality was quite decent in proper sunlight- some random samples below (keep in mind I suck at photography). *As always to view a picture in full resolution just click on it then click again!
 A second Horizon view- Quite decent results in proper sunlight.
 Image at full zoom- obviously bad; but I was impressed by how far a simple phone like this could zoom in.  Random close-up; the Phone obviously doesn't have any Macro mode but once again quite decent for a 3.2 MP sensor- you can even make out the letters on the Bolts/Nuts  Colorful!  Pretty?  Extremely low-light image- nothing special.  Semi-low light image and a reminder of #SmartPhoneLiteWeek (everybodies asleep) Side Note- today is the last day of my #SmartPhoneLiteChallenge and all I can say is that it wasn’t too bad at all; over the past week I used less than 20 Cents worth of data thanks to the super data compression on the Asha (mostly only used Whatsapp push email and opened MNB twice- but that’s still quite impressive). If I was the type to carry two phones/Two sims the Asha 302 would be a main contender for slot #2.

| Video: 22 minute Nokia N9 Disassembly & Assembly – Case Replacement! Posted: 22 May 2012 05:52 AM PDT Wahey! Got a short break after today’s exam and my next appointment and noticed something you guys will enjoy. Some of our readers have been requesting a detailed disassembly of the Nokia N9. Many were hoping it would be conducted by by LE55ONS as we’ve seen plenty of his very helpful tear downs and rebuilds. Check it out – 22 minute disassembly, every part carefully explained. This is for a case replacement. by LE55ONS

| Nokia 808 PureView, creative long exposure ND filter photos. Posted: 22 May 2012 01:30 AM PDT
Neutral Density filters are sometimes used sometimes used to prevent over exposure by reducing the amount of light that enters the lens. Useful outdoors in bright sunlight. Often, it would be seen on big DSLRs to achieve motion blur on slow shutter speeds/longer exposure times. I believe the key Nokia phones have had ND filters since the N73? You’d have to keep the camera still of course. This way, all the static parts of the scene stay still but all the moving parts (usually water) can produce an creative dreamy like effect. In some of the new pictures from the Nokia 808 gallery, posted as part of the 808 post yesterday, you might have seen several examples where Nokia manually forced the ND filter on to use the long exposure time to blur the water. Not sure how much control they had over exposure times. Check the samples out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nokiaofficial I’ve scheduled this post to appear right about now. I’m actually in the middle of an exam but I won’t be here for most of the day possibly.
