Enable VoLTE 


volte iphone 5 plus
Newly launched iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus support Voice over LTE (VoLTE) allowing users to make voice calls and use LTE data simultaneously. It means that with VoLTE enabled on iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6, you can make voice calls while browsing the web over 4G LTE connection.


VoLTE allows you to make wideband high quality more “naturally sounding” calls. Here’s what Apple has to say about the VoLTE feature in iPhone 6 and the Plus:
The VoLTE feature in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is not enabled by default and your carrier must also support VoLTE. If you’re luck to be a subscriber of a carrier offering VoLTE and have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, here’s how to enable VoLTE on iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6…
Enable VoLTE on iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6
Go to Settings app.
Then tap on Cellular.
tap on Enable 4G or LTE.
and then tap on Voice & Data to select it.

That’s it. You have successfully enabled VoLTE on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Now if your carrier supports VoLTE, you must be able to browse the web and make HD voice calls simultaneously.
Now to test if you’re getting 4G LTE, download and install Speedtest.net application from the app store [iTunes link], make a call from your iPhone 6/plus, and test the data speed using speedtest.net app. Do it before and after enabling the VoLTE feature.
Let us know if VoLTE is working for you and how much fast is your connection during a voice call.

Finally the long awaited jailbreak for iOS 7.1 – 7.1.1 has arrived. This time a new jailbreak tool Pangu has been released, which jailbreak all the iOS devices running iOS 7.1 to 7.1.2. Team of Chinese hackers has released a tool to jailbreak iOS devices called ‘Pangu’. 

At first people thought Pangu to be a fake tool, as there was no proof, but as already many people have tried it and it actually works, Cydia seem to be installed perfectly by this jailbreaking tool.
It looks like that the team behind this, a group of Chinese hackers, have used the vulnerabilities originally discovered and disclosed by i01nc: a well known iOS hacker, who has released jailbreaking tools in the past.
While Pangu seems to be a legit jailbreak tool, we strongly advise you to proceed with caution when choosing a jailbreak tool. You might face Cydia compatibility issues, need not to mention the packages available in the Cydia i.e. jailbreak apps and tweaks.

Pangu compatible Devices

What is NFC?

What is NFC?


Payment with NFC Google Wallet

Just Tap & GO NFC Pay Fare for Transport


NFC

Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.

Present and anticipated applications include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi. Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip, called a "tag".

NFC standards cover communications protocols and data exchange formats, and are based on existing radio-frequency identification (RFID) standards including ISO/IEC 14443 and FeliCa. The standards include ISO/IEC 18092 and those defined by the NFC Forum, which was founded in 2004 by Nokia, Philips Semiconductors (became NXP Semiconductors since 2006) and Sony, and now has more than 160 members.


NFC devices can be used in contactless payment systems, similar to those currently used in credit cards and electronic ticket smartcards, and allow mobile payment to replace or supplement these systems.

For example, Google Wallet allows consumers to store credit card and store loyalty card information in a virtual wallet and then use an NFC-enabled device at terminals that also accept MasterCard PayPass transactions, Germany, Austria, Finland, New Zealand, Italy, Iran and Turkey, have trialed NFC ticketing systems for public transport.



Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections

NFC offers a low-speed connection with extremely simple setup, and can be used to bootstrap more capable wireless connections.

For example, the Android Beam software uses NFC to complete the steps of enabling, pairing and establishing a Bluetooth connection when doing a file transfer. Nokia, Samsung, BlackBerry and Sony have used NFC technology to pair Bluetooth headsets, media players, and speakers with one tap in its NFC-enabled devices. The same principle can be applied to the configuration of Wi-Fi networks.

Social networking

NFC can be used in social networking situations, such as sharing contacts, photos, videos or files, and entering multiplayer mobile games. In the field of social networking NFC is very useful to exchange contacts and other files.

Identity and access tokens

The NFC Forum promotes the potential for NFC-enabled devices to act as electronic identity documents and keycards. As NFC has a short range and supports encryption, it may be more suitable than earlier, less private RFID systems.

Smartphone automation and NFC tags

Smartphones equipped with NFC can be paired with NFC Tags or stickers which can be programmed by NFC apps to automate tasks. These programs can allow for a change of phone settings, a text to be created and sent, an app to be launched, or any number of commands to be executed, limited only by the NFC app and other apps on the smartphone.

These applications are perhaps the most practical current uses for NFC since it does not rely on a company or manufacturer but can be utilized immediately by anyone anywhere with an NFC-equipped smartphone and an NFC tag.
