Everything you need to know about LG V30+

The LG V30 is ready for its closeup. Announced at IFA 2017, the V30 looks gorgeous, sloughs away unnecessary features and amps up all its best features. It gets a better screen, wireless charging and advanced video features you don't see on a typical phone, alongside a higher storage variant called the LG V30+. The LG V30 follows the LG G6 is terms of design, and features a larger FullVision QHD+ display, in addition to better audio capabilities from Bang & Olufsen, voice recognition, MIL-STD 810G rating for durability, IP68 dust and water resistance, and a dual rear camera setup with an aperture of f/1.6, a first in the smartphone camera industry. It comes as a direct competition to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and upcoming iPhone 8. The LG V30 will begin shipping starting September 21 in the company's home market South Korea, with an expected global rollout in coming weeks in Aurora Black, Cloud Silver, Moroccan Blue, and Lavender Violet colours. No pricing has been provided yet.

 LG V30 specifications, features

 

The new LG V30 features a dual rear camera setup with one 16-megapixel sensor coupled with an breakthrough aperture of f/1.6, a 71-degree wide-angle lens, and one 13-megapixel sensor with a 120-degree wide-angle lens and an aperture of f/1.9. The 16-megapixel shooter with f/1.6 aperture will let more light to enter the lenses to give sharper and highly focused images. The cameras are also stacked with Crystal Clear Lens to add to the process of correct colour reproduction and clearer photographs. On the front side, the LG V30 sports a 5-megapixel wide-angle (90-degrees) camera with an aperture f/2.2.

 

Coming to rest of the specifications, the LG V30 runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat along with a refreshed and upgraded UI - UX 6.0+ - however, Android Oreo can be expected soon. The smartphone features a 6-inch QHD+ (1440x2880 pixels) OLED FullVision display with a resolution of 538ppi and HDR10 support. The smartphone is also Daydream compatible. There is also a second always-on screen situated right above the main display, reminding us of the one seen on it predecessor LG V20. The LG V30 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC (clock speed and cores unclear as of now) coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM.

The inbuilt storage in the LG V30 is 64GB, while the LG V30+ variant has 128GB - with the option to expand it further via microSD card (up to 2TB). The battery that is packed inside the V30 is rated at 3300mAh, and it features Quick Charge 3.0. The connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth v5.0 with BLE, NFC, and USB Type-C 2.0 support with compatibility for USB Type-C 3.1. It measures 151.7x75.4x7.3mm and weighs 158 grams.

 

As confirmed by LG earlier, the LG V30 incorporates a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC powered by Bang & Olufsen. The smartphone comes with the earphones manufactured by B&O Play with three digital filters to clear out proper sound by changing the decibel values and frequencies. It also comes with support for Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) technology for high-resolution audio streaming. The smartphone is, of course, water-and-dust resistant with IP68 certification, comes with fingerprint scanner at the back, and supports wireless and quick charging. The LG V30 supports facial recognition technology, as the one last seen on Galaxy S8 and Note 8 smartphones, which can unlock the device by just looking at it.

Best time for students to buy oneplus 5! Why???

If you haven’t upgraded your smartphone before making a return to college, OnePlus is now willing to shave 10 percent off the price of its latest flagship, the OnePlus 5. OnePlus says that its products are quite popular among students, and keeping that in mind, the company has launched a new Student Program. As part of this program, the company is offering 10 percent discount on the purchase of the OnePlus 5. But there’s a catch. You’ll have to verify that you’re actually a student to receive the coupon code, but it seems like that’s really all there is to it. Once that step’s done, you can save a bit of money and get yourself a device that very few people on campus will have.

In order to receive the coupon code for the discount, customers have to provide valid proofs to the company. Also, the 10 percent comes off your entire order from the OnePlus web store, so it’s up to you whether to just get a phone by itself or add on some accessories. If you’ve already got a OnePlus handset, I guess you could also use it to save on a spare Dash charger or some cases. It should be kept in mind that this coupon will be valid for only one month after it has been received. However, OnePlus says that students will be able to receive discount codes every following year as well.

To activate this offer users need to follow three simple steps - You will first need to show your student identity by logging into Student Beans to verify your account, and gain access to the Student Program. In case you don’t have an account, visit OnePlus Student Program website, and click on “Login to Student Beans”, click on “REGISTER” icon and enter your details.

 

Once logged in, you will then be able to claim your coupon of discount worth 10 percent. The last step is to hit the claim button present on the page and your 10 percent student discount is now available for use. However, once you have claimed the coupon it will be valid for only one year at oneplus.net.

The company has set a limit to the number of devices a student can order, so the order may only contain a single OnePlus 5 device. As for the accessories like bags, cases, chargers, and t-shirts, there is no limit to how many of these items one student can place in one order.

The offer is open in the United States, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Croatia, and Hungary. You’ll have a month to use your discount code, but students will be able to redeem the deal once each year while enrolled.

What is ABS & how does it work!!!

Anti-lock Braking system is a closed loop control device that prevents wheel lock-up during braking and as a result vehicle stability and steering is maintained.

The purpose of Anti-lock Braking system (ABS) is to control the rate at which individual wheels accelerate and de-accelerate through the regulation of the line pressure applied to each foundation brake. The control signals, generated by the controller and applied to the brake pressure modulating unit, are derived from the analysis of the outputs taken from wheel speed sensors. Thus, when active, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) makes optimum use of the available friction between the tyres and the road surface are important enough to take a look at how they work and clear up some misinformation about them.

 

As always, what is described here is how most systems work in general. Since different manufacturers have their own versions of ABS their specifications and part names may differ. If you're having a problem with the ABS on your vehicle you should always refer to the specific service and repair manuals for your vehicle.

  The ABS is a four-wheel system that prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. By preventing the wheels from locking, it enables the driver to maintain steering control and to stop in the shortest possible distance under most conditions. During normal braking, the ABS and non-ABS brake pedal feel will be the same. During ABS operation, a pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, accompanied by a fall and then rise in brake pedal height and a clicking sound.

COMPONENTS OF ANTI-LOCK BREAKING SYSTEM(ABS)

There are four main components of the ABS:

•SPEED SENSOR

•VALVES

•PUMP

•CONTROLLER

 

 SPEED SENSOR

The purpose of the speed sensor is to monitor speed of each wheel and then to determine the acceleration and de-acceleration of the wheels. It consist of exciter(a ring with notched teeth)and a wire coil/magnet assembly which generates the pulses of electricity as teeth of exciter pass in front of it.

VALVES

The function of the valves is to regulate the air pressure to brakes during Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) action.They are placed in the brake line of the each brake controlled by the ABS. In most of the cases ,the valve has three positions:

•In position one, the valve is open and the pressure from the master cylinder is passed through the brake.

•In position two, the valve blocks the line resulting in isolating the brake from master cylinder.

•In position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from brakes.

PUMP

The purpose of the pump is to regulate or restore the pressure back to the brakes that has been released by the valves.

CONTROLLER

The controller of the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) consists of Electronic Control Unit(ECU) which processes all the ABS information and signal functions. The ECU gets the information from all the wheels and then control or limit the brake force to the each wheel.

BRAKE TYPES

Anti-lock breaking system or ABS has different types of brakes based on number of channels used.

 

FOUR-CHANNEL

This scheme is employed in most of the modern cars like Ferrari’s California T. In this scheme all the four wheels have there own individual speed sensors and valves. This gives best result as all the four wheels can be controlled individually which ensures the maximum braking force.

THREE CHANNEL

Three channel comes with two combination, one is three channel with four sensors and the other one with three channel and three sensors.

In three channel and four sensor scheme, along with the four sensors on the each wheel there is a separate valve for each of the front wheels and a common valve for the rear wheels.

The three channel and three sensor scheme is mostly employed in pickup trucks. There are individual sensors and valves for both the front wheels with a common valve and sensor for both of the rear wheel.

TWO CHANNEL

This system works with four sensors and two valves. It uses a speed sensors at each wheel, with one control valve for both of the front wheels and the other one for the rear wheels.

ONE CHANNEL

This system is found on pickup trucks which uses rear wheel ABS. It has one valve and one sensor for both of the rear wheels. This system is not very effective because as there is a possibility that one of the rear wheel will lock, reducing the effectiveness of brakes.

 

WORKING OF ABS OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

•When the brakes are applied, fluid is forced from the master cylinder to the HCU inlet ports with the help of open solenoid valves that are contained in the HCU, then through the outlet ports of HCU to the each wheel.

•The rear part of the master cylinder feeds the front brakes and vice-versa.

•After the fluid in inserted in each wheel, the wheel starts locking-up.

•When the control module senses that wheel is going to lock up, it closes the normally open solenoid valves for that wheel.

•The anti-lock brake control module then looks at anti-lock brake sensor signal from the affected wheel.

•Once the affected wheel comes back up to the speed, then the control module returns the solenoid valve to there normal condition.

Volkswagen to encash on nostalgia by launching its all electric version of "MICROBUS"

 Volkswagen has announced that it will produce an electric version of its Microbus, the iconic, bug-eyed "hippy bus" most often associated with free-wheeling road trips to Woodstock.

 

The new model is a production version of Volkswagen's concept vehicle I.D. Buzz, which was revealed earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. It is expected to be available in 2022 in the U.S., Europe and China, according to a company press release Saturday.

 

VW created quite a buzz in January when it showed off what it called the "I.D. Buzz Concept" at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

 

That vehicle, which was clearly inspired by the classic and fondly remembered VW Microbus, had some features that were just as clearly only for show. (For instance, it had a steering wheel that retracted into the dash when it was in self-driving mode.). Don't be surprised if the I.D. Buzz show car's futuristic dash is replaced by a more familiar VW interior when the production version arrives in 2022. Image source: Volkswagen AG.

Volkswagen's original Type 1 Microbus debuted in 1950 and had just 30 horsepower. VW buzz comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive battery-electric vehicles with 369 horsepower, a 111 kilowatt-hour battery pack, and a predicted range of about 270 miles. It is fast-charge capable, with the ability to use chargers of up to 150 kilowatts using the CCS DC Fast standard. With a 150-kW charger, it can recharge to about 80% of its battery pack's capacity in about 30 minutes, VW said.

“Along with a minibus version, we’ll also be offering an I.D. Buzz Cargo variant for zero-emissions delivery of goods,” said Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles CEO Dr. Eckhard Scholz. “With Level 3 autonomous capability, this is an ideal concept for an electric van, particularly for delivering packages and goods to the inner cities.”

Inner cities means lower-range, which isn’t a bad thing when you don’t have far to go but it does put the kibosh on any fantasies of a cross-country road trip — unless it included frequent stops at EV charging stations. Here’s hoping that VW can maximize the miles per charge and make the final incarnation of its retro-inspired van as practical as possible. Because, when you stop and think about it, that’s what made the old one such a winner. Still, its quirky charm and throwback appeal are mighty. Maybe that factor alone will be sufficient to lure in a swath of eclectic and nostalgic customers from Europe or North America, who are just hungry from something unique.

Voice calling with Google Home launched but is it better than amazon echo???

Google’s smart speaker can now pull double duty as a phone for voice calls. The company just confirmed that it’s rolling out Google Home’s calling feature in the US and Canada beginning today. Users can dial anyone in their contacts and local businesses for free as long as the call recipient is in one of those two countries. At Google IO in May, among several other features, Google announced it would be bringing hands-free calling to its Google Home speaker.

There is no special setup for hands-free calling with Google Home. It simply uses your personal contacts or nearby businesses based on your location to place calls.

 

All you have to do to start a call is say, "OK, Google, call [contact name]." You can also say things like:

•"OK, Google, call the nearest coffee shop."

•"OK, Google, call café coffee day."

•"OK, Google, call the post office."

•"OK, Google, call wife."

•"OK, Google, call Johny."

Google Home will place your call over the Wi-Fi connection. While ringing or in call, the light ring on Google Home will be a spinning pale blue.

 

By default, recipients will not see your phone number. Instead, they will see either Unknown or No Caller ID. Google says that by the end of this year, you will have the option to show your number when you call someone. However, if you have a Google Voice number or use Project Fi, you can connect your phone number by opening the Google Home app, tapping the hamburger button in the top left to expand the menu and going to More settings > Calls and selecting Google Voice, Project Fi or Unlisted.

If you do connect one of these numbers, you will also be able to use Google Home to call premium rate numbers. Otherwise, these calls will not work. Emergency numbers are also not available to call using Google Home.

To end a call, you can say, "OK, Google, hang up," or tap the top of the Google Home speaker

Though it might seem like Home is basically just acting as a speakerphone, that’s not the case. Calls are made over Wi-Fi, so they don’t use your phone plan’s minutes. In fact, Google Home calling is entirely separate from your smartphone. That’s both good and bad at the moment, which I’ll get into next.

You can tell Google Home to display the phone number you’ve got tied to either Google Voice or Project Fi by going to the Assistant settings in your Google Home smartphone app for Android or iOS. Once that’s done, recipients will see your number show up instead of the terrible “no caller ID” thing.

How to capture scrolling screenshot on any android phone

One of the most useful features of OnePlus 5/Samsung galaxy S8/Samsung galaxy note 5 can be had on any Android phone which is 'Scroll capture', that allows you to take longer, scrolling screenshots of a whole page. There are a ton of apps which let you stitch together screenshots manually to make them into one file, but that's a pain. Here's how to get the scrolling screenshot feature on your Android without the hassle.

Introduced to Samsung users on the Note 5, and majorly improved upon for the Galaxy S7, was a nifty feature called 'Capture more'. This allowed you to take a single long screenshot of a page, from the top and scrolling all the way to bottom, in one file. This feature is back in the spotlight now, thanks to OnePlus 5, under the new moniker 'Scrolling screenshot. With the popularity of the OnePlus 5, and all the hype about its amazing features, more people are wondering how to capture longer screenshots on their Android phones. While it's not a feature available into Android natively, that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Capturing a screenshot on an Android device is pretty simple. Press the unique button combination on your smartphone or tablet and you can capture and share a screenshot in a matter of seconds. A handful of new smartphones feature a scrolling screenshot option which allows you to capture an entire web page, your app drawer or even a long conversation within your favorite messaging app. There are a few Android apps on Google Play which give you the option of manually stitching multiple screenshots into a single image, but we’re going to show you how simple it is to emulate the scrolling screenshot feature using an app called Stitch & Share.

1)    Download and install Stitch & Share from Google Play

2)    Using your device’s unique button combination, capture the first screenshot

3)    Scroll down within the app, keeping a small portion of what was in the first screenshot visible and capture the next screenshot

4)    Repeat the previous step until you have captured everything you want to appear within the screenshot

5)    Swipe down on your notification panel and tap the Stitch & Share notification

6)    Tap the green arrow icon in the bottom right corner to save or share your screenshot

If the generated screenshot doesn’t align properly, Stitch & Share allows you to adjust where the images overlap by tapping the scissors icon. The app also includes editing features which allow you to highlight text or insert a blackout bar (great for hiding someone’s name, email or phone number). The free version only offers one color for highlighting, but you can get rid of the ads, get more highlighter colors and eliminate the Stitch & Share watermark with a $0.99 in-app purchase.

Facebook to launch WATCH as a competitor for youtube, netflix & amazon prime???

Facebook is revamping how its users watch video on Facebook, starting with launching of an all new platform called Watch. This move, which will bring in a lot of original content, is its plan to better compete with video-streaming rivals such as Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube.

The new platform for Facebook’s mobile, desktop, and television apps will start to show up this week for select users in the U.S. before hitting more locations “soon.”

 

Watch promises to be a more structured version of the video tab than what it launched last year, it will offer suggestions for new shows based on what your friends and communities are watching.

Facebook elaborated in a post outlining the new platform: “You’ll find sections like ‘Most Talked About,’ which highlights shows that spark conversation, ‘What’s Making People Laugh,’ which includes shows where many people have used the ‘Haha’ reaction, and ‘What Friends Are Watching,’ which helps you connect with friends about shows they too are following.”

Adding comments to content will be easy, too, with Facebook noting that “comments and reactions to a video are often as much a part of the experience as the video itself.” It means that when you watch a show, you’ll be able to cast your eye over real-time opinions from other viewers and, if you wish, “connect with friends and other viewers while watching, or participate in a dedicated Facebook Group for the show.”

The company said its original programming will include a new safari slot from National Geographic, a comedy cooking show, a Mike Rowe-fronted show where he rewards people who’ve done great things for their community, and broadcasts of women’s national basketball clashes. Its Major League Baseball coverage will continue, Facebook confirmed.

While Facebook is doing deals with mainstream partners, it’s also urging independent creators to get involved, pointing out that Watch offers an opportunity to “find an audience, build a community of passionate fans, and earn money.” For now, publishers have to be invited onto the Watch tab. Over time, though, Facebook expects to let anyone publish to it. Right now there are “dozens” of shows available; by the time Watch is available globally, that number will be in the hundreds, Danker said.

The social networking giant has been steadily preparing its push into original programming, last year hiring CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen to help organize its efforts.

Video is where it’s at for Facebook, and bundling ads with shows should help to boost revenue for the company — so long as the content is strong enough to hook those who use its service.

Will it succeed? Facebook has plenty of advantages at launch. It has 2 billion people with their eyes glued to its app, and lately those people have demonstrated a healthy appetite for consuming video. It has commitments from big publishers and entertainment companies, who are desperate to find large new audiences and sustainable new sources of revenue. It has a product team that excels at copying the best bits of other services and integrating them into its own apps, iterating on them over time to maximize their addictiveness.

But it has disadvantages, too. For starters, the marketplace for online video is insanely crowded. At the high end, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and Amazon dominate. In the realm of user-generated content, YouTube has a 12-year head start in attracting creators and viewers, who are watching an hour of video a day there. And Facebook’s first big push into video, which centered on live broadcasts, largely sputtered.

For now, though, it would seem unwise to underestimate Facebook. The company is rich, and can afford to be patient. It may not deliver a brilliant video tab in the short term. But given the billions of dollars at stake, I expect the company to keep trying until it does

Ever wondered what will happen when you hit start/stop button while cruising!

In today’s modern car we all look to buy the latest and greatest technology available to us at our disposal. Keyless entry in cars have been around for a while. Most of us owning a car with keyless entry would have had a thought about what will happen to the car when the start/stop button is pressed accidentally while driving. Lets find it out.

What is keyless entry in cars?

The fob that you carry on your keychain is actually a small radio transmitter. When you push a button on the fob, you turn on the transmitter and it sends a code to the receiver. Inside the car is a radio receiver tuned to the frequency that the transmitter is using (300 or 400 MHz is typical for modern systems).

With the remote keyless-entry systems that you find on cars today, security is a big issue. If people could easily open other people's cars in a crowded parking lot at the mall, it would be a real problem. And with the proliferation of radio scanners, you also need to prevent people from "capturing" the code that your transmitter sends. Once they have your code, they can simply re-transmit it to open your car.

Below photo below shows you the guts of a typical key-ring controller for a modern car

You can see that everything has been miniaturized. There is a small chip that creates the code that gets transmitted, and the small silver can (about the size of a split pea) is the transmitter.

The controller chip in any modern controller uses something called a hopping code or a rolling code to provide security. It is a system that uses a 40-bit rolling code. Forty bits provide 240 (about 1 trillion) possible codes. Given a 40-bit code, four transmitters and up to 256 levels of look-ahead in the pseudo-random number generator to avoid De-synchronization, there is a one-in-a-billion chance of your transmitter opening another car's doors. When you take into account the fact that all car manufacturers use different systems and that the newest systems use many more bits, you can see that it is nearly impossible for any given key fob to open any other car door. You can also see that code capturing will not work with a rolling code transmitter like this.

 What happens when you hit the start/stop button while cruising?

My answer applies to much of the latest cars where everything is computerized and integrated to infotainment system as well.

A push Start/Stop button is similar to the power button on your cell phone. Your cell phones shuts off or reboots only when you long press it. Else, it doesn't do anything for short press when the phone is off and it toggles screen on and off when the phone is on. Because, the Cell Phone microprocessor chip is programmed that way. Similarly, modern cars also have a micro processor which is programmed to respond to all the buttons in your car. There could be many such processors - one for ingnition, one for engine, one entertainment system and so on.

So, a car's ignition to be turned ON or OFF is programmed only when it is in

1. Park gear (button 1)

2. Break pedal is pressed (button 2)

3. Push Start is pressed (button 3)

4. Check 0 speed (may be)

So, the processor could be programmed to start the car like,

If the car speed is zero and if button 1 and 2 and 3 are pressed, only then send signal (spark) to the ignition to turn it on. If you accidentally press the start/stop button, your engine won’t stop at least in the latest cars. However you can stop your car even when it is cruising by holding the start/stop button for 3 seconds. You can watch the video on the same with link below.

Switched from Iphone to android, here's how you can transfer your data

Switched from iPhone to Android? Want to know how to move your stuff from iPhone to Android

How to transfer from iPhone to Android: Move your contacts from iPhone to Android

Probably the first thing you'll want to move from your iPhone to an Android phone is your contacts.

Your contacts are linked to your email account. So you may have them stored in iCloud, or in your Gmail account (if you're using Gmail). Here's how to find out:

1.Tap Settings.

2.Tap Calendar.

3.Tap Default Account.

If your default account is under Gmail then all you need to do is sign into your Android device using your Google account.

 If you're using iCloud for your contacts, then it's best to transfer your files as vCards (these are contact cards that can be shared). You can share each contact card you want individually. Go to each contact and choose Share Contact. You can email the vCard to your Gmail account and then open it when you set up your Android phone.

 If you have a lot of contacts it's easier to jump on to Apple's icloud.com website on a Mac and download your contacts.

1.Open iCloud.com in Safari.

2.Open Address Book.

3.Click the Gear icon and choose Select All.

4.Click the Gear icon and choose Export vCard.

The VCF file will be download to your Mac. Now open Gmail, select Contacts > More > Import and select the file you downloaded.

How to transfer from iPhone to Android: Moving Mail and Messages from iPhone to Android

Moving Mail is easy. You sign in with your Google ID to get any emails in Gmail. Or you sign in with your iCloud account details, or your other email address, and you can read your mail messages.

How to transfer from iPhone to Android: Move Photos, Music and media from iPhone to Android        

                                                                                                       

It's pretty easy to move your snaps from iPhoto to Google Photos, using the Google Photos iOS app.

1.Download Google Photos from the App Store on your iPhone.

2.Open Google Photos.

3.Sign in with your Google Account.

4.Choose Backup & Sync. (It's best to leave 'Use mobile data to back up' set as Off unless you have unlimited data.)

5.Tap Continue.

Transfer your music using the Google Music app and by installing Music Manager for Mac. This app (installed in macOS) transfers all your music in iTunes to Google's cloud.

Then you can stream all of your music from Google Play Music on your Android phone.

 How to Transfer iPhone Text Messages to Android,

You can download AnyTrans if you want to preserve any old messages but you will have to pay for it. It will also take care of all your other media. Moving Messages is difficult but you can do so by following the below steps.

1. Plug your iPhone into your computer. Once you’ve plugged your iPhone in, your computer should launch into the iTunes application.

 2. Click on your iPhone in the top-right corner of iTunes.

3. Click the "This Computer" checkbox under the “Backup Location” settings.

4. Click Backup to backup your device to your computer.

 5. Locate the backup file on your computer.

 For Windows machines, the file will be stored at /Users/(Username)/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/Backup.

 If you’re running a Mac, the file will be under /(user)/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup. You may have to Option-click on the Go menu if you don’t see your Library folder in your user folder.

 6. Open the folder with the most recent timestamp.

7. Find the text messaging file. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t make this entirely easy for you. You’re looking for the following file: 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28. Search for this file in the folder (copy and paste helps).

8. Copy the file to your computer’s desktop. You’ll need to move this file to either your Android phone’s internal memory or the SD card, if your device has an SD slot. Having the file on the desktop will save time when you try to find it later.

            
9. Plug your Android device into your computer, and open it with either Finder (OSX) or Windows Explorer.

10. Place the text messaging file on your Android phone. Move the file, which you placed on your desktop in a previous step, to either the main folder on your device’s internal memory or on the main folder on your SD card if your phone has one.

11. Unplug your Android phone from your computer.

12. Download iSMS2droid from Google Play. Android can’t natively read the file generated by your iPhone, so you’ll need a Google Play app to convert the file to an Android friendly format. From the Play Store on your Android phone, download and install the iSMS2droid app.

13. Launch iSMS2droid and click "Select iPhone SMS database."

14. Locate the text messaging file on your device, and click on it.

 15. Click "All Text Messages" in the following pop-up window. This will convert all of your texts into an Android-friendly format. Alternatively, you can select only those texts you’d like to bring over to your phone, but it’s a painfully long process.

16. Tap "start SMS Backup & Restore" which will take you to the Google Play listing for the SMS Backup and Restore app.

 17. Install and Launch the SMS Backup & Restore App.

18. Tap Restore.

19. Locate your iSMS2droid file, then tap OK.
