| Burnt Samsung Galaxy S III was in Fact Microwaved Posted: 08 Jul 2012 03:19 AM PDT
Remember the Samsung Galaxy S III burnt unit that was pictured on the web recently? Well, turns out hat it wasn’t the handset’s fault, but rather the one of an external heat source, most likely a microwave. Samsung cited a report by fire investigators saying that an external energy source caused the fire. The incident happened in Ireland and set the Internet on flames, everyone criticizing the overheating of the handset, that’s actually not a real problem in every day use. The latest Galaxy S model was launched in Europe in late May and in USA last month. It all started when a Dublin consumer posted photos and comments on a website last month, saying his Galaxy S III had exploded while mounted on the car dashboard. He said that while driving he was stunned by a white flame, sparks and a bang out of the phone. Samsung got in touch with FI-UK, British provider of consultancy services for fires and explosions and tried to determine the cause of the fire. Samsung said that the authority got several Galaxy S III models from them, for testing, including the burnt unit. It was impossible to reproduce the exact damage with the phone by itself, but it could only be done by placing the devices of components parts in a domestic microwave. What people forgot to read when attacking Samsung was that the handset was actually dropped into water and then dried… possibly using a microwave. How crazy is that? Related posts:

| MeeGo is Not Dead, Jolla Takes Over! Posted: 08 Jul 2012 02:27 AM PDT
Nokia N9 was a pretty loved smartphone, even though many people complained about the fact that MeeGo OS was seen as a “dying” platform. Now it appears that it will actually transform into something new and most importantly alive. There’s a Project Jolla going out of Nokia, aimed at creating a new OS based on MeeGo. Jolla is a Finnish startup actually that includes major members of the Nokia N9 project and some people from the unofficial MeeGo community. It intends to start from Meego and build its very own smartphone using the N9 experience as foundation. Jolla is based on the Mer Project, driven by HTML5 and there will be a brand new UI in the midst, to fit the new hardware. Of course, you shouldn’t expect a Nokia N10, but rather an entirely different effort. Jolla Ltd. is described as an “independent Finland based smartphone product company”, by the official press release. The team behind it includes directors and core professionals straight form Nokia’s MeeGo organization and what I’m really curious is if this project is backed by Nokia or not. What do you think?

If you want to root your Samsung Galaxy S III handset I have to say right from the start that you’re doing it on your own risk. We only provide here the method we’ve found on the interwebs. This method involves desktop program Odin, that can be downloaded here and it’s used to transfer the necessary files for root to your phone. Then you download the root package from here and do the following things:
Now the smartphone will boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery and then it will reboot again. After that you’ll have to identify the SU app in the appdrawer, which means you have successful root access. Step by step instructions are also available in the video below. Related posts:
