{Disarmed} Corona warning app 2.11 available now

Image
The new version of the Corona warning app is now available. Version 2.11 was announced a few days ago and is now available for download and installation. In version 2.11 the QR code scanner of the app was revised a little and can now scan and process all supported documents (test, vaccination and recovery certificates, PCR tests, quick tests and check-ins at events). So far, users could only use the respective QR code scanner for their specific purpose, for example under "Check-in" to scan a QR code for an event or under "Certificates" to add vaccination, recovery or test certificates. The universal QR code scanner now enables users to use a QR code scanner to scan all QR codes supported by the Corona Warning app at any point within the app. From version 2.11 you can import QR codes from images or PDF documents and no longer necessarily have to scan them with the camera.

Vodafone boss: Really more dead spots due to the start of 1 & 1?

Image
Competition invigorates business is an economic truism that the head of Vodafone does not want to accept. Hannes Ametsreiter sees United Internet / 1 & 1's entry as a network operator as a danger for consumers. The warning is not altruistic, however. When the Vodafone boss comments on the status of the mobile network in Germany, that matters. The Düsseldorf group is after all one of only three network operators for mobile communications in Germany. So far, at least, because with United Internet, the company behind 1 & 1, a new competitor is in the starting blocks. Which doesn't go down well with Vodafone. Vodafone boss: Cell phone customers are better off without 1 & 1 Hannes Ametsreiter, CEO of Vodafone, explains why he considers United Internet's entry into the hitherto rather exclusive line-up of network operators to be risky, especially with regard to the upcoming frequency auctions in 2023: "If you now distribute the same spectrum to four operators,...

“Young people” tariffs at Telekom, Vodafone & o2 in comparison: You have these advantages

Image
"Young people", schoolchildren and students have various advantages with Telekom, Vodafone and o2. We have summarized how you can benefit from cheaper tariffs or more data volume.

Repairing smartphones: A number shows how great the need really is

Image
The EU has many plans to promote the repairability of mobile devices such as smartphones. That should be in the interests of the consumer. A survey by the digital association Bitkom has now determined how great the interest really is. Only 37 percent have broken smartphones repaired - according to the Bitkom study Who does not remember: a few years ago the outcry was great and numerous when smartphone manufacturers began to switch to permanently installed, glued batteries. Since then, as a layperson, you have practically no chance of replacing individual parts - be it battery, display or other hardware components - if you give up the ghost. And since then? We got used to it a long time ago. There are some laudable exceptions (again) such as the Fairphone 4, but the majority of consumers are no longer familiar with smartphones from the inside. This is also shown by a current survey by the Bitkom digital association, according to which 37 percent of the smartphone owners surveyed hav...

More endurance for the smartphone: study reveals practical battery trick

Image
For many smartphone users, battery life is a decisive factor when buying a new model. A large battery, like the one most expensive cell phones have, is needed. A practical tip will help you to get more stamina out of cheaper equipment. This trick gets more out of your smartphone The battery trick, which American researchers have now proven in a study, is very simple - at least once you have figured it out: With some smartphones, you can save quite a bit of energy by using the dark mode. But the trick doesn't work with all cell phones. According to the researchers, you have a good chance of being able to use the trick if your smartphone is no older than it was in 2017 (source: ACM Digital Library via Purdue University). Because newer cell phones rely more on OLED displays and only with these the experts at Purdue University could prove that the "dark mode" saves the battery under certain circumstances. Because the light intensity of the individual light points can be ...

From October 5, 2021 , Deutsche Telekom will be adding the new tariffs, called "MagentaMobil Flex", to its range. The addition "Flex" is supposed to stand for more f...

Repairability Index for Smartphones: Will Cell Phone Prices Rise When It Comes?

Image
With the introduction of a reparability index for smartphones, the EU wants to do something for consumers again. Replacing individual parts and simply putting the cell phone back together in the event of damage should be possible even for laypeople. However, this can have a negative effect on prices. Easier repair of smartphones and tablets: EU wants to introduce assessment Nothing has been decided yet, but the EU Commission is currently talking about a "reparability index" for smartphones and tablets. Such a value should indicate how well or badly current devices can be repaired if something seriously breaks - and is not already covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Many details are still pending, but a possible start is planned for 2023 (source: heise). Based on the revised energy label, there should be a scale from A to G that offers manufacturers an incentive to design their mobile devices to be more repair-friendly and customer-friendly.
