Android Operating System 2.3 ( Ginger Bread ) , 650 MHz  Processor, It won’t be wrong to say that, Qmobile has taken the lead in the market, where this Android set is compared with HTC Explorer which has similar specification, fit’s somewhere in a slot right next to HTC Wildfire S but since A5 has 3.75 Screen Size, it’s one of the unique android dual sim hand set available in market. I been personally using it since almost 2 weeks, My previous phone experience been Nokia Symbian 5th Generation phones, this time I switched to Android, didn’t took me too long to understand this handset due to Android OS is very friendly, A5 has 5MP camera, with LED Flash, previous A2 had smaller display and 3 MP camera, minor changes made A5 in a low-budget one of the best Android Phone.

I been reading about phone users asking one particular question ” Skype Video Conference ” works on it or not ? well the answer is no, it doesn’t support , all thou it has front VGA camera, Price range is around 11,500 Pakistani Rupees which is around 120 US dollars, not bad at all, specially when it comes to branded company handset, while I was in a market looking for other Android sets unable to decide “one of the fellow said ” A5 is not less than HTC or any other, all those are 7000 to 10,000 thousand expensive than this one, just because they are Branded Company Tagged, thou Phones like Cha Cha / Explorer / Wildfire and Wildfire S comes with no warranty, this one has and just if one doesn’t see the Qmobile tag behind won’t able to notice any difference. I didn’t went for HTC at all and thought about giving a try to Qmobile Noir A5, which really been an amazing experience.

CONS :  Internal Memory Low Issue

It’s the  ( Same like HTC Explorer / Wildfire ) , you can force move apps using SDK manager, same like Explorer and Wildfire users does, without rooting the phone. Apps2SD works fine but some apps are stored in internal phone memory most of them can be forced move by little trick so, don’t get confused at all, when you buy this phone you’ll get 4GB mirsoSD but get 8 or 16GB once you got that, no need to make partitions and technical gambling stuff, simply install Apps2SD from Google Play Store it’s for free and beside it SDK manager install on your PC connect the phone with USB ( Debugging Mode ) some commands and that will resolve 70 percent of your issue.

Battery 

Since the phone is already using dual network, got GPS , WiFi which works perfectly fine, it sucks the battery like any other Android Phone, so when WiFi , Bluetooth , GPS not in use, turn them off, it’s easy just a click away. When using WiFi or Internet Battery lasts 4 to 5 hours max, than you need to recharge it. so, better than the feature off when not in use !  I don’t find this a big issue because use car charger too.

Camera

The Quality of the camera 5MP is good but not the best, I don’t know why most the low-budget android phones don’t have good camera result, but I was reading on the net, Camera features : (Not Available) ! No there are features in Camera all which user needed and also for the video recording which is not bad at all.

apart from these 3 issues , I didn’t find anything wrong with this phone comparing. So far I am using this android phone for internet purpose, GPS and Google Map works fine, there are other  apps and Pakistan Maps available which you can download.

Samsung and HTC has the phones with same specification but the screen size isn’t BIG as this one in this range as well as Very Smart Looks makes it more appealing. Get a good Handfree for Mp3 or if you want to enjoy music, Charger connects with USB cable, you can charge the phone by connect with PC,  rest Android gives you the ultimate experience in this friendly budget range !

You Can use Moborobo Suit download that one, works fine with this, thou it’s for HTC ” I Think ” but has many options and features. Connectivity Android made the most easiest way, switch phone Remote mode

will give you FTP address type in My computer address bar and get connected transfer files ( up or download ) easily. without connecting via USB or Bluetooth.

My Personal suggestion if you are looking for a Good Phone in this Range ( 11,500 ) I would suggest you, buy this one or secondary option is Qmobile A2 3.5 Inches display screen size, 3MP camera rest is all same. wait till the technology gets cheaper and better, hopefully  expected  QMobile A3 will be launched in August 2012, which would be 3.5 inches display , 3MP but will support Skype Video Conference, since I don’t need that feature at this time, I am fine with the one I have.

If you have any questions regarding QMobile Noir A5 you can leave a comment here, email me at farhan.imaan@gmail.com or tweet me @farhan_imaan , I’ll help you out as much as possible rest, Internet and Android users are way smarter me !

Keep Smiling and Enjoy life

Karachi Violence

Daily figures fluctuates like it’s some connection with Stock Market and the Ordinary citizens are like share volumes, yesterday Additional IG Sindh, given the orders to shoot at sight, but today’s (18th june 2012) official figure was 15. The majority of the people who don’t live in Karachi, thinks that entire city is under siege but the truth is there are particular areas, where most of the killing happens daily, The least Targeted killing ratio is in the south region where as the most highest ratio is in the north.  nearly around 20 million living on a prayer from which those who are able to afford private security service prefer to have guards along, after which nearly 20 percent of business class carry licensed weapon for their safety and majority step out of the house praying they return home safe, but then again Killing continues at times city is represent some sort a grave yard, dense populated areas where’s difficult to find a car parking turns into complete deserted streets. If riots breaks up something happens in the city, everyone turn their television to know the Breaking News. I personally say ” Karachi is photocopy of the hell, No one can predict next hour here how is it going to be”. Police and Rangers has failed constantly kept doing operations, Raids etc… but the problem is massive and huge big that situation of law and order doesn’t seem to be in control at all. As i mentioned ” Shoot On Sight ” Orders well frankly speaking, Additional I G would’ve said that If he fails to deliver peace after this he will quietly resign in case of failure but one shouldn’t forget Sindh Police follows the chemistry of Politics which makes it useless instead of being useful.

People complaint for law and order situation, while police complaints about not having hi tech weapons and state of the art technology, If you are entering in the city from Super Highway no matter you have CNG Cylinder or Nuclear in your trunk doesn’t matter no body will bother to check you, make yourself comfortable follow the rule ” Live & Let Die ” disturbance would only affect Bikers, instead of just checking them and letting them go, Police constable will ask for the Documents, CNIC, where you were coming from, where are you going, in case if you told them the truth that your ordinary citizen means Boy ! you’re in trouble, because next thing police fellow gonna say ” Chai panni tu karado ” Consider yourself hopeless disable uncivilized, no ethic, forget religion, what Allah says, either give me some bribe or else get prepared since they have shot at sight orders, bribery plays the leading role. Blame game continues on while no one claims who’s behind this target killing,  3 Major political parties are the stake holder of Karachi in which MQM comes first, than PPP and Since last 8 years or so ANP.

Karachi once burnt, twice raped, this city has weird stories which no one wants to hear. victimized by mafias and external elements, innocent lives lost if just got reported that would be a big deal. To me at times it looks like Black Warrants are issued against many that’s why Rangers & Police always say unknown gunmen? Land mafia / Land Grabbing been a key issue since the radius of the city which in undeveloped and under development has handsome value, it’s hard to find a place for even a grave here inside the city hope you understand what makes the surrounding of the city so precious than, hide & seek between Killers & Police  insurgency carries on.The only solution which I am in favor, either Karachi be handed over to Army (Run the Anti-Virus)  only in safe mode ( Curfew ) it is possible to clean up Root Directory else, in normal mode ( Anti-Virus ) won’t be able to clean ( Trojan ) Virus. Invisible hands are controlling the city, hardly it gets normal for a week while target killing continues on ” Show must go on” something or other happens which mess up entire city which affect everyone . About target killing what it seems to me, Intelligence agencies have failed, Karachi Badly needs Air Surveillance, which includes Petrology and Ambulance service, Police and the local area residence co-ordinate and plan out the solution in which Rangers & Police must help Citizens instead of what they are unto, I don’t understand where CM Sindh and Governor Sindh are? Wonder what’s the purpose of political party allies ( MQM , PPP & ANP ) if being together they fail to even point out who’s behind killing, The Final Resort is Army Operation else I see the darkest future of the city which once known as The City of Light.

Malik Riaz Hussain Profile

Malik Riaz is a name who has come up really able-bodied. Private enterprise has itself set up new meaning in the individuality of Malik Riaz Hussain. Even though born into a well-heeled family, his father’s contracting business collapsed, and he was forced at the age of 19 to start his career as a lowly clerk in Islamabad. He claim that Pakistan’s unsteadiness has not exaggerated sales at Bahria township. Malik Riaz say that he pursues the ‘Sultana Daaku’ approach. He earn from the moneyed and help the hub earnings group.

Some Facts About Malik Riaz and His Scheme Bahria Town

• Pakistan’s biggest clandestine division flotilla of heavy soil moving tackle and the repair workshops.
• If someone lines up the bricks that Bahria Town consume in a year they will go in the region of the globe 5.5 times.
• The initial ever accommodation scheme in Pakistan with subversive stipulation of utilities and materials.
• He is the 9th richest gentleman of Pakistan.
• His possessions value $ 800 million.

Controversies

1. Critics speak Riaz’s Bahria municipality territory has been fueled by close up tie to the services. Those links have allowed him to acquire land, in some cases returning a percentage to senior officers as developed plots.
2. Chief Executive of Bahria Town, Ali Riaz Malik submit his declaration regarding the Arsalan Iftikhar (CJ son) suo motto case in the Supreme Court of Pakistan that Bahria township was not at the back of any allegation not in favor of Arsalan and that the court’s measures were not intended at investigate the relationships of Bahria Town.

President of Iran

The Fox News TV (US) asked Iranian President Ahmedi Najad; When you look into the mirror in the morning what do you say to yourself”? He answered: I see the person in the mirror and tell him “Remember, you are a servant; no more than a small servant, ahead of you today is the heavy responsibility, and that is to serve the Iranian nation”.

Drawing room at his home.

Ahmedi Nijad, the Iranian President who astonished many when he first reached to the office of the Presidency by donating all the high valued Iranian carpets to one of the mosques in Tehran by replacing them with the low cost ordinary carpets He observed that there was a huge extravagant langue for receiving and welcoming the VIPs, he ordered it to be closed and asked the protocol office to arrange for an ordinary room instead with the wooden chairs.

 

 

 
On many instances he joins the cleaning staff of the municipality for cleaning the streets in the area where his home and the Presidency are located. Under his authority whenever he appoints any minister to his post he gets a signed document from him with many points, particularly highlighting that he shall remain poor and that his personal and his relatives accounts will be watched and the day he leaves the ministry shall be with dignity, and therefore it is not lawful for him or his relatives to take any advantage of his office.

First of all he declared himself all the “Big” wealth and property he owned was a Peugeot 504 car, model 1977, an old small house inherited from his father forty years ago in one of the poorest zones in Tehran. His accounts with a zero balance and the only money comes in to his a/c was from his salary from the university as a lecturer with an amount of US$ 250 only.

For your information the President still lives in that same house. This is all what he owns; the president of one of the world’s important countries; strategically, economically, politically and with regard to its oil and defense He even doesn’t take his personal salary with the argument that all the wealth belongs to the nation and he is the safeguard over it.

One of the things that impressed the staff at the presidency is the bag the President brings with him every day, which contains his breakfast; some sandwiches or bread with olive oil and cheese prepared by his wife and eats and enjoys it with all happiness.

One of the other things he changed was his personal carrier “the President’s Aircraft” to a cargo aircraft in order to save the spending from the public treasury and he ordered that he will be flying with the ordinary airline in the economy class.

He organizes meetings every now and then with all the ministers to know their activities and efficiency and he closed down the office of the manager of the president and any minister can enter to his office without any permission. He also stopped the welcome ceremonies like the red carpet, the photo session or any personal advertisement or respect of any kind while visiting any place in the country.

Whenever he has to stay in any of the hotels he asks them to make sure not to give him a room with any big bed because he doesn’t like to sleep on beds but rather likes to sleep on the floor on a simple mattress with a blanket.

Refer to some of the photographs which also confirm the above. Iranian president is sleeping in the guest room of his house after getting away from his special guards who follow him wherever he goes and photo is taken by his sm

all brother according to the Wifaq Newspaper which published this photo and the next day the photo was published in most of the world’s newspapers and magazines and particularly the Americans. During the prayer you can see that he is not sitting in the first row. And the final photo is of his dining room where the president is busy eating his meal
.

NO TO SUPPLIES

Since November after attack of Salala army check post on the border by Nato forces, Pakistan has stopped NATO supplies from its ground routes, If Chicago summit Obama administration expecting from President Asif Ali Zardari will negotiate and resume the supplies from Pakistan to Afghanistan but, President Zardari stood on his point that United States should apologize for Salala air strike which killed Pakistani troops. United States’s delegation came to Pakistan to sort out Nato supplies issue yesterday Pentagon called the delegation back from Pakistan, in fact what’s strange is Chief Of Army Staff Gen.Kayani refused to meet.

NATO

NATO Supplies are resumed from upper countries like Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. United States and Pakistan’s relations has reached on a point of no return, as Chief of Army Staff Pakistan Gen.Kiyani refuse to meet delegation and pentagon called them back, Still the easiest route for the supplies is Pakistan for keeping War on Terror, yet United States is seeking to unseal the borders of Pakistan for the supplies. As a citizen of Pakistan it is my right to ask what’s foriegn policy and strategy on NATO supplies, since now people are well aware of what’s happening and discussing each matter on media channels as well as Facebook / Twitter social sites. I asked Foreign Minister of Pakistan  Hina Rubanni khar since she was on twitter, I asked her ” Why Gen.Kiyani didn’t meet US delegation, why suicide bombing in Near by Cities of Pakistan which are closer to Afghanistan,  suicide bombing has again started, when you know it’s not only Tehreeh-e-Taliban Pakistan but other countries are involved? first she didn’t replied me, later when she did her answer was ” Don’t try to trapgate me, Mister “. I wasn’t trying to trapgate her at all, in fact I was trying to know as a citizen it is my right to ask, what’s the relation in suicide bombing and NATO Supplies, on while Gen.Kiyani didn’t meet US delegation, pentagon called them back.

My point is based on my perception that TTP is not the only one involved in suicide bombing in Pakistan, Border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is largely open for anyone to cross due to it’s difficult geographic location terrain, the involvement of Indian and Israeli agencies send their trainers to train people, if you are wondering how? than it’s very easy, Fly from Delhi to Kabul rest by road till border and cross the border enter inside Pakistan stay as long as you want in Tribal area or Baluchistan at some extend Baluchistan is already victim of Pakistan Army and Inter service Intelligence ISI Pakistani intelligence been very brutal with Nationalists by kidnapping and torture killing them for no fair reason, since the situation is like this than the border with Baluchistan is way too long with Afghanistan from where intervention  is very easy, this insurgency, bombing, terror, violence in Pakistan. Government Officials are  answerable for these questions, to the people of Pakistan. while FM felt I am trying to TRAPGATE HER? let’s say even the way i think it is not like this than why suicide attacks always start when supplies gets resumed now daily there is a suicide or timer bomb blast which shows openly that there is a lack of security and foreign policy is not being follow.  As a country Pakistan has a right to agree and resume or step out of this unstoppable war. People of Pakistan are being victim by saying NO TO SUPPLIES !

Entering inside Pakistan is easy, when trainers are backed by United States and NATO, Think again, why would insurgency terrorism in Pakistan has disturbed normal life.
