Do You Smartphones Really Charge Faster in Airplane Mode?

If you're a heavy-duty smartphone user — which includes just about everybody these days, since the average American spends 4.7 hours a day gazing at and tapping that little screen — you know how agonizing it is to have to stop looking at cat videos for a while and plug your phone into a charger to replenish the battery. And some phones can take hours to charge.

But you can reduce your separation anxiety a bit by following this tip: While charging, switch your phone to airplane mode, so that the phone won't slow down the process by continually burning energy trying to connect with cell phone towers and plot your location with its GPS function.

This trick actually works, and so dependable that mobile provider Verizon recommends it.  The reason why is that while your phone is in its regular mode, it's continually trying to signal cell towers and pinpoint your location. And even though your phone most likely has assisted GPS, which calculates your location coordinates using the cell phone network rather than satellites, the function still burns up a lot of juice. That's because the location-finding stops your phone from going into full-on, energy-saving sleep mode.

When you switch to airplane mode, you turn off reception of those radio transmissions, and as a result, your phone charges more quickly. But don't get too hyped, because it won't save you that much time. When CNET tested the proposition a few years ago, airplane mode only shaved four minutes off a phone's charging time in one trial, and 11 minutes in another. Do Smartphones Really Charge Faster in Airplane Mode?

Research In Motion Ltd (RIM.TO)(RIMM.O)

(Reuters) - Research In Motion Ltd (RIM.TO)(RIMM.O) said on Thursday it has won much-coveted U.S. government security clearance for its BlackBerry 10 devices which are due to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2013.

The company said the new enterprise management platform has received certification that would allow government agencies to deploy the new smartphones as soon as they are launched.

But RIM must still convince the agencies to stick with its security-focused smartphones and deploy the new BB10 devices, which will come in keyboard and touchscreen models. Some agencies are already looking at alternative providers, eroding a market that RIM has dominated for years.

RIM pioneered mobile devices for email, but its fortunes faded as rivals like Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Samsung Electronics Co (005930.KS) came up with faster, snazzier devices.

RIM's stock and market share have slumped, and its fate is tied to the success of the new BB10 (BlackBerry 10) devices.

RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, said it was the first time a BlackBerry product had won Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certification ahead of launch.

Last month, RIM said it had begun carrier tests on the BB10 devices, which the company hopes will help it regain some of the market share it has lost to Apple's iPhone and devices that run on Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Android operating system.

FIPS certification, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is one of the minimum criteria for products used by U.S. government agencies and regulated industries that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive information.

The stamp of approval gives confidence that data on smartphones running BB10 can be properly secured and encrypted.

"I think this was a prerequisite for the new platform," said Atlantic Equities analyst James Cordwell. "Although government agencies are exploring other options, there's still a significant installed base of enterprises that use BlackBerry."

The certification provides a bit of a boost to RIM after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said last month it would end its contract with the BlackBerry maker and instead buy iPhones for more than 17,000 employees.

The Pentagon recently said it will continue to support "large numbers" of BlackBerry phones, even as it moves forward with plans to allow the U.S. military to use iPhones and other devices.

MIXED RECEPTION

RIM says BB10 will be much smoother and faster than its existing devices and can manage corporate and personal data separately.

The company has been showcasing the new phones to developers at BlackBerry Jam sessions around the globe, seeking a critical mass of apps for its new devices to succeed.

The devices have been well received by the developer community, but financial analysts have mixed views on their likely reception in an ultra-competitive market.

Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette warned earlier this week that BlackBerry 10 is likely to be DOA - dead on arrival, with an operating system that gets "a lukewarm response at best," due to the unfamiliar user interface and a shortage of apps.

But Paradigm Capital analyst Gabriel Leung said the devices could help push back RIM's market share losses in such crucial markets as North America.

"We believe the company has significantly improved its ability to attract developers to build apps for the BB10 ecosystem," Leung said. He has a $14 price target on the stock and recommends buying it.

Shares in RIM were unchanged at $8.24 shortly after midday on Nasdaq, while its Canadian-listed shares rose less than 1 percent at C$8.30.

The stock has fallen more than 90 percent from a peak of over $148 in 2008, but it has risen about 20 percent over the last two months as the launch of the BB10 devices drew closer. (Reporting by Euan Rocha; Editing by Chris Gallagher, Jeffrey Benkoe, Janet Guttsman and Richard Chang)

5G 

5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) is a technology used in research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunication standards beyond the 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G is not officially used for any specification or official document yet made public by telecommunication companies or standardisation bodies such as 3GPP, WiMAX Forum, or ITU-R. New standard releases beyond 4G are in progress by standardisation bodies, but are at this time not considered as new mobile generations but under the 4G umbrella.

Prognosis

The 5G family of ITU standards could be implemented around the year 2020.^[1] A new mobile generation has appeared every 10th year since the first 1G system (NMT) was introduced in 1981, including the 2G (GSM) system that started to roll out in 1992, 3G (W-CDMA/FOMA), which appeared in 2001, and "Real 4G" standards which is set at 1000mbps speeds might be deployed as early as 2013^[2]. Predecessor technologies have appeared on the market a few years before the new mobile generation, for example the pre-3G system CdmaOne/IS95 in 1995, and the pre-4G systems Mobile WiMAX and first release-LTE in 2005 and 2009 respectively.

The development of the 2G (GSM) and 3G (IMT-2000 and UMTS) standards took about 10 years from the official start of the R&D projects, and development of 4G systems started in 2001 or 2002.^[3][4] However, still no transnational 5G development projects have officially been launched, and industry representatives have expressed scepticism towards 5G.^[5]

New mobile technologies are generally assigned new frequency bands and wider spectral bandwidth per frequency channel (1G up to 30 kHz, 2G up to 200 kHz, 3G up to 5 MHz, and 4G up to 40 MHz), but skeptics argue that there is little room for new frequency bands or larger channel bandwidths.^[5] From users point of view, previous mobile generations have implied substantial increase in peak bitrate (i.e. physical layer net bitrates for short-distance communication). However, no source suggests 5G peak download and upload rates of more than the 1 Gbps to be offered by ITU-R's definition of 4G systems.^[3] If 5G appears, and reflects these prognosis, the major difference from a user point of view between 4G and 5G techniques must be something else than increased maximum throughput; for example lower battery consumption, lower outage probability (better coverage), high bit rates in larger portions of the coverage area, cheaper or no traffic fees due to low infrastructure deployment costs, or higher aggregate capacity for many simultaneous users (i.e. higher system level spectral efficiency). Those are the objectives in several of the research papers below.
