Sony Mobile has released a beta of the Android 4.0.3 ROM for certain Xperia handsets. These include the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray. Compared to the alpha ROM released back in December, the beta enables GSM radio and FM radio functionalities, which means you can make and receive calls and browse the web. However, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionalities are still unavailable.
The new beta ROM includes features such as the new lockscreen, which includes the ability to control the music player and launching the camera. Sony will also include the face unlock feature found on the Galaxy Nexus in the final version, but it is currently unavailable. Other new features include the ability to bring up a list of messages that you can send after you decline a call and a new dialler app which features the highly useful quick dial mode.
Apart from this you get the usual Ice Cream Sandwich goodies, such as the new multi-tasking view and notification screen where you can use the swipe gesture to remove items from the screen. The beta ROM does not include the usual Google applications, however, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Android Market, etc. but they will obviously be added in the final version.
The ROM is now available for download on Sony's website but before you go ahead and download it do keep in mind all the limitations of the current ROM mentioned above. There are also some issues, such as having to unlock the bootloader, which means you won't be able to download the final version when it comes out a couple of months later. So make sure you go through all the warnings and instructions in the source link below before you install it on your phone.

Sony releases Android 4.0 Beta ROM for certain Xperia handsets
Acer CouldMobile shown off in a hands-on video
The Acer CloudMobile was recently shown off at an event in Milan, Italy to the press. The folks at Cellular Magazine who attended the event thankfully managed to get a hands-on video of the device in action. Unfortunately, the video is not in English but you can get a decent idea about the phone.
The Acer CloudMobile is easily the most interesting phone to have come out of Acer. In fact, it won an iF design award even before it was officially launched. But it's not just the design that's great about it. The CloudMobile also comes loaded with some pretty great features.
For starters there is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich available out of the box, which instantly earns it major brownie points. Next it has a 4.3-inch, 720p display with on-screen virtual controls, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. The device in the video above also has a separate row of capacitive keys below the display but that can be excused since it is a prototype device. The device shown in the press images does not have these extra keys.
Next there is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor on the inside, 8 megapixel camera, HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity.
The phone is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress next week, which is when we will find out more about it.

LG Optimus 4X HD, 3D Max and Vu get the hands-on treatment
The Italians are on a roll with the hands-on videos. After a hands-on video of the Acer CloudMobile by Cellular Magazine, we now have a trio of hands-on videos of the latest LG smartphones by Telefonino.net.
The first one, which we have embedded below, is of the Optimus 4X HD, which runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and has a 4.7-inch HD display.
As you can see in the video above, LG's UI customizations aren't as extensive as Samsung or HTC's. You can easily tell that the phone is running on ICS, but they have added some touches that would help them differentiate their product without going overboard. The lockscreen, for example, is different, with a new unlock method, large date and time display and the presence four shortcut buttons below. The homescreen has a different dock and different animation for homescreen navigation. LG has also changed the way you add widgets on the homescreen by adding a Honeycomb-like drawer at the bottom.
The application menu is similar to stock ICS but includes another tab for downloaded apps. You can see more customizations in the video, such as the use of different icons and a navigation bar at the bottom of the browser.
You can check out the Gingerbread running Optimus 3D Max and Optimus Vu in the second and third source links below, respectively.

Hizbullah Kecam Pembakaran Alquran oleh NATO
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KABUL--Kelompok perlawanan Libanon, Hizbullah telah mengutuk penodaan Al-Quran oleh pasukan AS di Afghanistan. Mereka menyebutnya kejahatan terbaru dari militer AS.
Hizbullah mengatakan, "Tindakan dari pasukan asing adalah kejahatan baru yang mengungkapkan AS-Zionis terhadap penodaan kesucian Islam dan menertawakan perasaan lebih dari satu miliar umat Islam. Tindakan terang-terangan pasukan pimpinan Amerika yang dilakukan terhadap kitab suci umat Islam, akibat peningkatan penghinaan kesucian Islam. Ini mengungkapkan kampanye sistematis untuk menodai kesucian islam di wilayah kami," katanya, Selasa (21/2), Press tv melaporkan.
"Hizbullah mengutuk tindakan kriminal yang menyinggung semua prinsip, etika, dan agama dan memanggil orang-orang bangsa untuk meningkatkan suara mereka, mengutuk aksi yang provokatif, dan mengecam semua upaya untuk menodai kesucian, apakah Islam atau Kristen," dia menambahkan.
Pada Senin malam, pasukan AS di Lapangan Udara Bagram di luar Kabul membakar Al-Qur'an dan materi keagamaan lainnya seperti sampah, menurut pejabat NATO dan Afghanistan.
Demonstran Afghanistan marah, dan melancarkan demonstrasi anti-AS di Kabul dan beberapa kota lain Afghanistan. Mereka juga menyerukan para penghujat itu diadili di pengadilan hukum.

Sony Xperia U live photos leak again, still hot looking
We are really starting to worry that at the rate these leaks are going, Sony won't have much news for us at its MWC press conference on Sunday. The Sony Xperia U, which is one of the smartphones to go official there, leaked once again - this time in an extensive live photo session.
The Sony Xperia U was previously known by its codename Kumquat and by its product code - ST25i. It has much of the styling of the high-flying Sony Xperia S, but has a slightly tuned down specs sheet and should come with a lower asking price.
Sony Xperia U live photosThe Xperia U is said to be built around a 3.5" qHD LCD and feature a 1GHz dual-core CPU and 512 MB of RAM. A 5 megapixel camera replaces the 12 megapixel monster we saw on the Xperia S, but the OS at launch should still be Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich should be pushed as an update shortly after, though.
Sony Xperia U live photosAnd with the Sony Xperia U mystery all but gone, we start wondering what other cool devices we will see in Barcelona come this Sunday. Just make sure you stick around so you don't miss anything.

Quad-core Huawei Ascend D1 Q press shots surface
It's no secret Huawei has big plans for its Sunday press conference. The event, which should kickstart the MWC will feature at least one quad-core smartphone device and we get to see its press shots in advance.
The Huawei Ascend D1 Q will obviously have a pretty face to go along with all the muscle under the hood. Judging by those press shots, the Tegra 3-packing Ascend D1 Q won't have the impressively slim waistline of the Ascend P1 S, but it will still be one sleek smartphone.
Huawei Ascend D1 Q press shotsUsability and attention to detail are also advertised as the Huawei Ascend D1 Q strengths, though the wording of the Huawei PR team is rather strange. At any rate, the D1 Q has every chance of becoming the first quad-core global smartphone to be announced as the Huawei press conference is a few hours before the HTC one this Sunday.
Now enjoy those smooth lines for a while more and don't forget to watch this spot on Sunday for the updates from the press event.
ZTE announces new Tegra 2 based Mimosa X smartphone
Along with the two new ICS handsets announced yesterday, ZTE had another ICS-based smartphone to announce before MWC. This one is called the Mimosa X and will be running on the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. While that itself is nothing special, it will also be the first device to have the Nvidia Icera 450 HSPA+ modem.
If you're wondering what so special about that, so far the phones made with the Tegra 2 processor had to rely on modems from other companies, such as Qualcomm. Last year, Nvidia acquired Icera who also make modems for smartphones. This allows them to use their own modems in phones powered by their processors and the ZTE Mimosa X is the first phone to do so.
Other than that the Mimosa X is a typical upper mid-range smartphone, with a qHD display, 5 megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 4GB memory, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For any further information, we will have to wait for MWC next week. The phone will be launched in Q2, 2012.

Iran melancarkan pelatihan
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MOSKOW-- - Iran melancarkan pelatihan pertahanan udara selama empat hari untuk melatih perlindungan bagi instalasi negara yang penting --khususnya instalasi nuklir, demikian lapor Kantor Berita Fars di Iran Senin (20/2). Pelatihan yang dilakukan di Iran selatan mengikutsertakan beragam sistem rudal, radar serta sejumlah pesawat.Angkatan Darat dari Pasukan Pengawal Revolusi Islam (IRGC) juga melancarkan pelatihan militer yang bernama Valfajr pada Ahad di kawasan gurun di Iran tengah dan di provinsi tengah Yazd.
Fars, yang mengutip Panglima Pengawal Revolusi Mayor Jenderal Mohammad Ali Jaffari mengatakan "Pelatihan perang dilancarkan setelah adanya ancaman dan agresi dari Amerika Serikat, terutama invasinya terhadap negara tetangga dan kawasan regional".
Sementara itu spekulasi Israel diduga mempersiapkan penyerangan terhadap ekporter minyak nomor dua di Organisasi Negara Pengekspor Minyak (OPEC) tersebut juga berkembang pada beberapa pekan terakhir.
Hal itu dilakukan Israel untuk mencegah apa yang dipandangnya sebagai 'ancaman serius' bagi keamanan negaranya sementara AS menyangkal untuk melakukan penyerangan.

Awas! Pindah ke Komisi Hukum Angie Intervensi KPK
Jakarta - Kepindahan Angelina Sondakh yang berstatus tersangka dalam kasus suap Wisma Atlet ke Komisi Hukum DPR dinilai tidak fair. Muncul kekhawatiran Angie akan mengintervensi KPK yang menangani kasusnya."Angie bisa mengintervensi kasus hukum yang menjeratnya, ini harus dicegah dari awal" ujar Direktur Lingkar Madani untuk Indonesia (LIMA) Ray Rangkuti saat dihubungi detikcom, Rabu (15/2/2012).
Menurut Ray, terbuka kesempatan bagi janda Adji Massaid itu untuk mengawasi kinerja KPK secara politik. Sebagai mitra kerja tentu KPK akan melaporkan hasil kerjanya ke Komisi Hukum DPR.
"Logikanya, sama saja KPK memberi laporan hasil kerjanya kepada Angie, karena Angie ada di Komisi III," kata Ray.
Untuk menghindari adanya konflik kepentingan menurut Ray, Partai Demokrat harus segera menarik Angie dari Komisi Hukum. Jika tetap bertahan harus diberlakukan kode etik yang melarang Angie mengikuti rapat koordinasi dengan KPK. Terakhir KPK harus segera menahan Angie.
"Paling kompromistis Angie tidak ikut rapat dengan KPK, wilayahnya hanya kepolisian dan kejaksaan," tandasnya.
Sebelumnya diberitakan FPD menggeser Nasir dari Komisi III ke Komisi XI DPR. Angelina Sondakh dipindah menggantikan Nasir ke Komisi III DPR. Namun keduanya tak lagi menjadi anggota Banggar DPR.
Ketua FPD DPR, M Jafar Hafsah mengatakan pergeseran hanya rotasi biasa saja. Jafar membantah rotasi menyangkut kasusnya agar Angie lebih dekat dengan KPK.

J2ME - Menyimpan Data, Record Management System (RMS)
Contoh penggunaan RMS. Berikut ini saya akan memberikan contoh cara penggunaan RMS di J2Me. Buatlah sebuah project baru dengan nama "simpan" dan buat sebuah file MIDlet dengan nama "simpan", ketikkan kode dibawah ini.
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.rms.*;
import java.io.*;
/**
* @author idisuwardi.blogspot.com
*/
public class simpan extends MIDlet implements CommandListener{
Display layar;
Form fm;
TextField tnama, ttelp;
Command proses;
RecordStore rs;
public void startApp() {
layar=Display.getDisplay(this);
fm=new Form("Simpan Data");
tnama=new TextField("Nama:","",50,TextField.ANY);
ttelp=new TextField("Telp:","",50,TextField.NUMERIC);
proses=new Command("Simpan",Command.OK,0);
fm.append(tnama);
fm.append(ttelp);
fm.addCommand(proses);
fm.setCommandListener(this);
layar.setCurrent(fm);
try {
rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("mahasiswa", true);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
}
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
if(c==proses){
tambahdata(tnama.getString(),ttelp.getString());
}
}
public void tambahdata(String nama, String telp){
//membuat array byte
//temp adalah penampung data array byte
byte[]temp=null;
//mengubah data menjadi array dari byte
ByteArrayOutputStream baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//menulis data dalam record store, yang kemudian akan diubah oleh baos
DataOutputStream dos=new DataOutputStream(baos);
try {
dos.writeUTF(nama);
dos.writeUTF(telp);
temp=baos.toByteArray();
rs.addRecord(temp, 0, temp.length);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Pada program diatas akan menghasilkan output 2 buah textfield. TextField 1 adalah Nama dan TextField 2 adalah No Telp. User diminta untuk menginputkan nilai kedalam kedua TextField tesebut dan program akan menyimpan hasil inputan kedalam memori. Untuk melihat hasil (database) yang telah kita simpan maka harus membuat/menambah sedikit kode lagi. Tunggu pertemuan berikutnya.
J2ME - Alert (Bunyi, Suara)
Buatlah sebuah project dengan nama "alert" dan tambahkan file Midlet dengan nama "alert", copas kode dibawah ini kedalam file Midletnya.
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
/**
* @author idisuwardi.blogspot.com
*/
public class alert extends MIDlet implements CommandListener{
Display layar;
Form fm;
Alert al;
Command proses;
public void startApp() {
layar=Display.getDisplay(this);
fm=new Form("Bunyi");
proses=new Command("proses",Command.OK,0);
fm.addCommand(proses);
fm.setCommandListener(this);
layar.setCurrent(fm);
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
}
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
if(c==proses){
al=new Alert("Alert","",null,AlertType.ALARM);
al.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
layar.setCurrent(al);
}
}
}
Ketika menu proses jilankan maka program akan dieksekusi dan suara bib akan berbunyi.
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
if(c==proses){
al=new Alert("Alert","",null,AlertType.ALARM);
al.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
layar.setCurrent(al);
}
}
Coba buat sebuah program dengan 3 menu yang berbeda dan menghasilkan suara yang berbeda. Selamat mencoba.
J2ME - Gambar di Java
Buatlah project baru dengan nama "gambar", dan buatlah file baru dengan nama "gambar", kemuadian copas kode dibawahi ini di file gambar tsb.
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
/**
* @author idisuwardi.blogspot.com
*/
public class gambar extends MIDlet {
Display layar;
Form fm;
Image im;
ImageItem img1;
public void startApp() {
layar=Display.getDisplay(this);
fm=new Form("Gambar");
try {
im = Image.createImage("/Blue 2hills.jpg");
img1=new ImageItem("Gambar saya",im,ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER,"Gambar saya");
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
fm.append(img1);
layar.setCurrent(fm);
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
}
}
Kode dibawah ini menjelaskan mengenai pengambilan gambar didalam folder picture yang ada di mydokument. Gambar tersebut akan diberinama "Gambar saya" dengan deskripsi "Gambar saya".
Fungsi "try" disini untuk mengatasi error bila image tidak ditemukan.
try {
im = Image.createImage("/Blue 2hills.jpg");
img1=new ImageItem("Gambar saya",im,ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER,"Gambar saya");
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER adalah untuk perataan gambar yang akan dimasukkan kedalam form. Coba kembangkan kode diatas misalnya menambahkan lebih dari 1 gambar di dalam form. Selamat mencoba.
