Tips to Use Eye-Fi ‘Direct Mode’ With Your iPad

Sometime in the middle of the night, Eye-Fi released both the “Direct Mode” software update for its Wi-Fi enabled SD cards, and a new iOS app that works with” this mode. An Android app is also available.
Together, these pieces of software lets you snap photos on any camera and have them show up on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, beamed through the air over Wi-Fi. The Direct Mode actually turns your SD card into a tiny Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing devices to connect. Once you get it working, it works great. But it is a little tricky to set up. Here’s how.
First, slot your Eye-Fi card into your computer or card reader and run the Eye-Fi Center software to update Apple a1175 Battery,Dell inspiron 1520 Battery the card’s firmware. Then go grab the new universal iOS app from the App Store.
Done? Good. Now, follow Eye-Fi’s own instructions to set up the Direct Mode. This involves checking a box and hitting save.
Then you need to connect your iPad or iPhone to the wireless network that the card has created. This is where things can get a little sticky.
The card will only fire up its own Wi-Fi network if it doesn’t recognize any other networks in the area. The idea is that you would use your existing network to transfer photos if you are at home or at work, and the Direct Mode would only kick in when you’re out and about. So, in order to use the Direct Mode at home, you’ll need to remove your local network from the card. This is easy to do in the settings. Then hit the “Start Direct Mode Network” button to force it to start up.
Once that’s done, fire up the Eye-Fi app on your iOS device and sign in to your account. Choose Settings>Eye-Fi Card Settings and tap on the name of your card on screen. Press the “Copy” link to copy the password to the clipboard, then go to the Settings app and connect to the Eye-Fi card’s network just like you would any other. I couldn’t get my iPad to see this network until I stopped the card from looking for my home network, as detailed above.
If this works, remove the card from your computer and put Acer as07b72 Battery,Acer aspire 5920 Battery  it in the camera. Switch on and test. You may have to force a reconnect since your iDevice will probably have re-joined your home network in the meantime.
Once you’re up and running, the transfers work great. I have mine set to receive only JPEGs (in the setting on the iOS app) to keep things fast. The camera is set to shoot RAW + JPEG, which lets me upload the RAWs into Lightroom later. I haven’t yet tried the combo out and about, but in limited testing it works great, with transfers coming across in seconds and getting saved in the camera roll, ready to be Instagrammed.
The only real problem is using the setup in the range of a known Wi-Fi network. Even if you have disabled the network on the card itself, your iOS device won’t connect to the Eye-Fi hotspot automatically if it sees another network it recognizes. And there appears to be no way to force the card to transfer to your iOS device Acer as07b41 Battery,Acer as07b51 Battery via the home network. This shouldn’t be a problem out in the street, though.
Finally, there is one other oddity. The geotagging function on the card seems to think that I’m in somewhere called Nan Nan in Thailand. This is really rather strange.

Follow these steps to stretch the battery life of your myTouch 3G.
You’re no doubt reading this article because you’ve got a shiny new Android phone, but there’s just one problem: you’re so addicted that the battery runs out on a daily basis. Instead of putting the phone down, let’s maximize the Dell gw240 Battery,Dell inspiron 1300 battery life.
Saving your battery life isn’t rocket science—the general principle is to get rid of the things that are draining the battery the most, and trim down other things that you need to use, but maybe can tweak a little. Keep reading for the full explanation.
First, to maximize the battery life of a myTouch 3G phone, press the "Menu" key on the Home screen. From, select "Settings" to enter the phone's settings screen.
Next, go into "Data Synchronization" under "Settings" and disable automatic sync. This will prevent the myTouch 3G from frequently updating mail and calendar, thus using power. Instead, email and calendars will be updated manually every time you open then.

If you do not use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth often, turn these connectivity features off to conserve power. They can always be activated when necessary.
Additionally, GPS can be deactivated if you do not have a need to use this.
There’s a number of other things you can do to extend your battery life a bit—one of which is to use a rooted phone and install the Autostarts utility, which you can use to keep applications from launching themselves automatically. Since this isn’t something you can do on a stock phone, we’re not covering how to do it here.
You can also use an application called Tasker to automate certain actions, like turning on or off the GPS or Wi-Fi when you launch a particular application, or scheduling a time of day to make sure that Wi-Fi is disabled. Lifehacker has a great guide to using Tasker to automate your phone, and they also explain how to use a  configuration to scale back data usage at night.
