While I was trying to Sync the contacts between my Galaxy S2 Android Phone and outlook using Kies, i noticed that duplicate items have been created both on my phone as well as on the outlook itself. Well Simple solution for that was as following:
1- Download and install the ODIR free software on the following link and follow the installation instructions http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp
2- After successfully installing the software you will end up with a new tab on your outlook that is marked as “ODIR” open it and start searching for duplications in spcefied folder
3- After finishing the search the ODIR will move the duplications to a new folder called ODIR Duplicate Contacts
4- At this point you will have to re-open and connect your phone to the kies again and choose to sync the contacts from the contacts folder excluding off course the “ODIR Duplicate Items” Folder then you will end up have having only one copy of your contacts on your phone.

I have been asked so many times lately if it’s possible to transfer purchased applications from one iPhone to another and if it’s possible how to do it. Well the simple and direct answer is yes and the method is published on the web but to make it available for my visitors I will re-published here as below
Step 1
Download and install the latest version of iTunes (see Resources).
Step 2
Launch iTunes on the computer and click the “Store” menu heading, followed by “Sign In.”
Step 3
Enter the account username and password used by one of the iPhones to log into iTunes. This ensures that both the iPhone and iTunes are linked to the previously purchased content you wish to share.
Step 4
Connect the iPhone to the computer using its USB cable, and click the “Sync” button in iTunes. All the content currently stored on the iPhone is transferred to the iTunes library on the computer.
Step 5
Launch the “Settings” application on the other iPhone and tap the “Store” button. Enter the same username and password used when logging into iTunes.
Step 6
Connect the second iPhone to the computer using the USB cable, and click the “Sync” button in iTunes. The content from the first iPhone is now synchronized with the second iPhone at no extra cost.

iCam Concept: How iPhone 5 Could Kill The Digital Camera For Good!
Posted: 12 Dec 2011 07:24 PM PST
As I’ve mentioned in the past, the iPhone is a decent tool for photographers – dual cameras, amazing picture quality and good video recording capabilities. However, it’s no match for a high-end digital camera in many ways. In the past, we’ve covered several third-party accessories (Go Pano Micro, Lens Filter Kit, Photojojo SLR mount etc.) that can improve the photography experience on your iPhone. However, by my own honest admission, the iCam concept belongs to a different league.
Published by ADR Studio, the iCam concept is rumored to be present in the iPhone 5 (yes, iPhone 5). Simply put, the iCam is case which can snap on to an iPhone 5 to turn it into a high-end DSLR. It includes interchangeable lenses, a huge image sensor, hardware controls, a preset wheel and it would use the iPhone 5 as an image processor.
As evident in the above pics, the iCam case could be snapped to the iPhone device, making it look like a high-end digital camera. In terms of physical appearance, I have to say that the all-aluminum chassis looks gorgeous. The concept proposes that when the iPhone 5 is docked, it will launch an app that controls the iCam, and provides information and touch screen buttons to help control the next exposure. The images you shoot will be stored directly on the iPhone camera roll thereby making it convenient for instantaneous sharing.
Steve Jobs always said he wanted to revolutionize technology and the iCam concept definitely looks to be a step in the right direction. Of course, financial viability of iCam can be a major deterrent as it evolves from a concept to a production ready accessory. None the less, there’s no denial that iCam has the potential to revolutionize the digital camera market. The major limitation – owning an iPhone 5 would be a prerequisite and that’s not an ideal scenario for everybody.
What do you think about iCam? If Apple makes uses this concept in iPhone 5, will you buy it? Please share your opinion by leaving a comment.

3G Mobile Telephony

Have been asked about the 3G “Third generation of mobile telecommunication systems”, when I encounter such interesting
topic that I would like to share with you.
3G refers to the third generation of mobile telephony (that is, cellular) technology. The third generation, as the name suggests, follows two earlier generations.
The first generation (1G) began in the early 80′s with commercial deployment of Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) cellular networks. Early AMPS networks used Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (FDMA) to carry analog voice over channels in the 800 MHzfrequency band.
The second generation (2G) emerged in the 90′s when mobile operators deployed two competing digital voice standards. In North America, some operators adopted IS-95, which used Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to multiplex up to 64 calls per channel in the 800 MHz band. Across the world, many operators adopted the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) standard, which used Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to multiplex up to 8 calls per channel in the 900 and 1800 MHz bands.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) defined the third generation (3G) of mobile telephony standards IMT-2000 to facilitate growth, increase bandwidth, and support more diverse applications. For example, GSM could deliver not only voice, but also circuit-switched data at speeds up to 14.4 Kbps. But to support
mobile multimedia applications, 3G had to deliver packet-switched data with better spectral efficiency, at far greater speeds.
However, to get from 2G to 3G, mobile operators had make “evolutionary” upgrades to existing networks while simultaneously planning their “revolutionary” new mobile broadband networks. This lead to the establishment of two distinct 3G families: 3GPP and 3GPP2.
Spotting the five most common iPhone and Exchange ActiveSync problems
Posted by Elawad

Although the iPhone is designed to connect to Exchange Server with ActiveSync, administrators and users have reported a number of issues. Before you allow your users to connect their iPhones to Exchange, take a look at the five most pervasive iPhone and Exchange 2010 connectivity problems and their solutions.
1. Coexistence challenges
The most widely reported issue is an Autodiscover compatibility problem that prevents an iPhone from connecting to Exchange. It occurs if the iPhone user’s mailbox resides on Exchange Server 2007 in a mixed Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 environment.
In this setup, mobile devices that run ActiveSync version 12.0 or lower connect to the Exchange 2010 client access server (CAS) and are then proxied to the Exchange 2007 CAS. Newer versions of ActiveSync use the Autodiscover service to determine which CAS that devices connect to.
The iPhone 4 uses a version of ActiveSync that should be able to use the Autodiscover service. Unfortunately, it does not work correctly. Users that have difficulty connecting an iPhone to an Exchange 2007 mailbox server in a mixed environment have three options:
- Wait for Apple to fix the problem.
- Move the mailbox to an Exchange 2010 mailbox server.
- Force the CAS to proxy the connection. This is done with the following Exchange Management Shell (EMS) command:
Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory –Server <Exchange 2007 CAS server name> | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory –ExternalURL:$Null
You can read more about coexistence at Microsoft’s TechNet site.
The Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy contains a setting called Allow Non Provisionable Devices. This setting — which is disabled by default — controls which mobile devices are allowed to establish ActiveSync connections with Exchange. If the setting is enabled, any ActiveSync-enabled device can connect to Exchange. If the setting is disabled, devices will only connect if they can be automatically provisioned with all of your ActiveSync policy settings.
The iPhone technically qualifies as a non-provisionable device because a number of ActiveSync policy settings cannot be applied to it. If you’re having difficulty connecting an iPhone to Exchange, or if you find that some ActiveSync policy settings are being ignored, compare your company’s ActiveSync policy settings with the ActiveSync settings the iPhone supports.
3. Heartbeat intervals
ActiveSync is based on Direct Push technology. Direct Push uses heartbeats to keep an HTTPS session open even when data is not actively sent or received.
Mobile devices send requests to the CAS, asking to be notified when new items arrive. Requests are valid for a set length of time. The request validity period is also known as the heartbeat. If data is not received from the server within the request period, the device issues another request and another heartbeat occurs, keeping the session alive.
Exchange Server 2010 uses dynamic heartbeats. Exchange 2010 also defines both minimum and maximum heartbeat intervals. The mobile device usually starts with a short heartbeat interval and gradually works up to a longer interval once the session proves stable.
Normally, there’s no reason to change the minimum and maximum heartbeat interval values; Microsoft actually discourages altering the default values. According to Apple however, if an iPhone has difficulty with the existing heartbeat settings, you should set the maximum heartbeat to 59 minutes.
You can find more information on how heartbeats work at TechNet. Additionally, TechNet has instructions on adjusting heartbeat values if you need to do so.
4. Firewall timeouts
An iPhone may experience ActiveSync timeout issues unless all of the firewalls between the iPhone and the CAS are configured with a timeout period of 30 minutes or longer. The method to adjust the timeout depends on your firewall.
5. IP address settings
Some iPhone users find that their devices works well when connected to ActiveSync over the Internet, but that mail flow stops when connecting over corporate networks. This problem is usually traced to a domain name system (DNS) setting.
Your CAS must use a consistent IP address and a fully qualified domain name regardless of how the iPhone connects. If your internal DNS server provides a different IP address for the CAS than the one listed by external DNS servers, mail flow may cease until the device is no longer connected to the corporate network.
The iPhone is generally a solid ActiveSync client. However, every network is different and it’s possible that settings unique to your network may cause problems for iPhone users. If this happens, you can probably trace the problem to one of the causes described here.
