Wifi Analyzer



Wifi Analyzer turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyzer!! Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.




HTC One X - WIFI antenna loose connection fault.


from the source:
HTC One X (grey HT23) with a loose internal wifi antenna connection. The phone is placed 2 meters (6 feet) from the access point (visible in the background). When I gently squeeze the side back of my phone the signal gets stronger, almost as strong as my comparison, the HTC Desire (seen from 0:18 and forward).

This wifi problem is definitely hardware related and not due to a software bug (as I first though). I have reported the phone DOA (dead on arrival) and I hope HTC will address this issue as soon as possible since it seems to be a common problem. You can read more about this issue here:

New 3D imagery for Google Earth for mobile


Since 2006, we've had textured 3D buildings in Google Earth, and we're excited to announce that we'll begin adding 3D models to entire metropolitan areas to Google Earth on mobile devices in the near future.

Thanks to new imagery rendering techniques and computer vision, we're able to create 3D cityscapes, complete with buildings, terrain and even landscaping, from 45-degree aerial imagery. 

By the end of the year, we aim to have 3D coverage for metropolitan areas with a combined population of 300 million people.
