How to Save Power in Any Mobile Phone
How to Save Power in Any Mobile Phone
frustrating when you run out of power especially when you are dealing with a very important or serious matter. Ever wondered why is that so? Try to follow these easy steps, it might help you extend your battery life in any mobile phones and devices.
1. Keep your Screen Brightness as low as possible.
Keeping your screen brightness in low can help you save power. When you are using your devices at night, it is more appropriate to reduce your screen brightness. This can also help in protecting your eyes since too much brightness in the dark can is not appropriate.
Keeping your your device backlight time at a minimum level can help save power. This will let your device doesnt stay active for long when not in use.
Widgets like weather, news feeds, and social networking updates consume more power as they use your phones data connection and auto sync capabilities.
5. Close running unused applications.
When you are using your device, for example a tablet, there are times that you do really open lots of applications ( Games, Browsers or etc ). And so inorder to have easier access with them, you just minimize it on the dock. To save power, close unused applications. They are just minimized and still continue to function, thus consuming more battery.
It is much better to download a battery saver application in play store ( If your device is Android ). This app will provide you a lists of running applications which consumes more power.
If you have questions/clarifications or additional tips, please leave a comment.

How To Save High Quality Image From Google Play As PNG Prevent WEBP Format
How To Save High Quality Image From Google Play As PNG Prevent WEBP Format
Designers, especially Android icon pack designers need the original app icon to maintain the default structure of the app logo while designing an icon for launcher icon packs. As Google Play is the largest and official Android application store, everyone searches Google Play for the app icons. But, you may notice that when we try to save an image from Google Play it saves as WEBP format. Taking the screen shot of the image is the quick fix for it, but, I have another simple solution which is as simple as taking a screenshot.RESIZE THE APP ICON IMAGE IN GOOGLE PLAY
Google generates the thumbnails dynamically at runtime that means you can pass the width via the image URL to resize the image to a higher resolution. In the image URL you can see the default width specified by them eg. =w300 changing the 300 to a higher value will increase the image width to the specified one. You can also set a lower value to reduce the image size.SAVE APP ICON IMAGE IN GOOGLE PLAY AS PNG
As the width passed through the URL Google also uses another parameter named -rw after the width to return the image as WEBP. So reloading the image URL without -rw will allow you to save the image as PNG.If its still not clear here is an example. In the example I am using Android Chrome Browser icon image from Google Play.
1. Open the below URL and remove the red highlighted part (-rw) from it, then reload the URL again to enable save as PNG.

2. Change the blue highligted part of the URL (300) to a different number to resize the image.
Thats it ...

How to save power on your Corby
How to save power on your Corby
1. Keep your screen brightness as low as possible. You can greatly save more battery from doing so.
2. Keep backlight time at a minimum level so your phone doesnt stay active for long when not in use.
3. Do not use widgets like weather, news feeds, and social networking updates as they use your phones data connection and auto sync capabilities, thus consuming more battery.
4. Turn off Bluetooth and Wifi when not in use.
5. Close running unused applications. You may not know it, but you could probably have a few minimized apps running. To close these apps, run task manager. Hold the menu key and you will see the list of the minimized apps. Tap on the stop-like sign to close a certain app or tap on End all applications to close them all at once.

How To Save And Restore The Unity Session In Ubuntu Using A Script
How To Save And Restore The Unity Session In Ubuntu Using A Script
Unity doesnt support saving the current session and restoring it upon login for quite some time however, you can do this with the help of a script.
Arnon Weinberg created a script that allows saving and restoring a desktop session. The script doesnt work exactly like the GNOME session save and restore feature, but it does the job and gives some control over what you want to restore and when.
Heres how the script works: you must manually save a session using a simple command, and then choose when to restore it, with three different options:
- restore geometries of existing windows - restores the window geometry and position (including workspace) for all running windows;
- restore matching windows - restores the window geometry and position (including workspace) for both apps that are still running as well as those that were restarted;
- restore running applications: restores all application windows that were running (even if they are now closed) when the session was saved, along with their position (including workspace) and window geometry;
Obviously, if you dont want to restore the session manually, you can add the script to startup so it restores your last saved session at login, but youll still have to save the session manually.
Arnons original session save and restore script doesnt work properly in Unity, but I was able to get it to work with some very simple fixes.
Arnons original session save and restore script doesnt work properly in Unity, but I was able to get it to work with some very simple fixes.
The script is not perfect and there are a few things you should know before using it:
- it doesnt work for every single application. For instance, it cant restore an open Nemo window because Nemo lacks the "--new-window" command line option (which does exist in Nautilus);
- when using "restore 2" (so the apps that arent running are restored along with their window position and size): theres a delay between launching the app and resizing / positioning its window - thats because the script waits a few seconds to make sure the app actually starts before trying to manipulate its window.
Despite this, the script does the job pretty well and its probably the best solution for saving and restoring the Unity session.
Its important to mention that the script is not Unity or even Ubuntu specific! In fact, Arnon created it for Fedora and GNOME Shell however, Ive only tested it in Ubuntu with Unity (and thus, Ive only included modifications for it).
Unity session save and restore script installation and usage
1. The script requires perl, xprop (available in the x11-utils package), wmctrl and xdotool. To install these in Ubuntu, use the command below:
sudo apt-get install perl x11-utils wmctrl xdotoolwget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/hotice/webupd8/master/session -O /tmp/session
sudo install /tmp/session /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sessionThats it!
To save the current session, simply use the following command:
session savesession restore X- 2 - Restore geometries of missing windows (opens any previously running app windows and restores both windows positions and geometries);
- 1 - Restore geometries of matching windows (restores window geometry and position for all running apps, even if they were restarted since the session was saved);
- 0 - Restore geometries of existing windows (restores window geometry and position for apps that werent closed since the session was saved).
For instance "session restore 2" to restore geometries of missing windows, etc.
Below you can see a quick demo video, which shows using the script to save the session and restore window geometries of missing windows (opens any previously running app windows and restores both windows positions and geometries), equivalent to the command "session restore 2":
