Nokia Beamer on Windows Phone 8

Nokia Beamer is an amazing application which makes a phone with Windows Phone 8 worth all the money. It is one of the simplest ways of sharing your phone's screen anywhere in the world. The application allows you to share your phone's screen in real-time with any internet enabled device whether it is a TV, Laptop, Tablet, Desktop PC or another smartphone.

The application works in two modes. The first mode allows you to share a particular link generated from the application with any other user wherein the user can use the link on an internet browser to see your phone's screen in real-time. The second mode is meant for instant sharing with a nearby device for instance your internet TV. All you need to do is visit 'beam.nokia.com' on the internet browser in your TV and you will see a QR Code generated on the website. Simply scan the code with the application and the devices get connected.

A Working Free FTP Client for Windows Phone 8

I own a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and use it to store all of my multimedia content. The NAS does not allow access over HTTP as such I cannot use the phone browser to access or download the multimedia files. I needed a WebDav client or an FTP client to access the files. I tried a number of FTP clients for Windows Phone 8 which get listed from the store if you search for FTP but none of them work or they are not free. 

Here is a working FTP client that you can use. The name of the application is File Manager which allows a host of cloud services as well that you can access. This is a paid application but you can install a trial version. The only difference is that you can use only one type of connection at a time. 

So if you have setup a FTP connection, you cannot setup another connection. However, there is no other limitation in terms any file download or access limit. I have successfully watched an entire movie using this client by accessing it directly without save. I have also synced a folder to my phone and was able to access the files flawlessly. So here is the download link for the FTP Client - File Manager For WP8 or Direct Link

Latest Nokia Lumia Black Update Fails with Error 80188309

The latest Nokia Lumia Black update rolling out in India has faced issues during install on the device. The update downloads on the device without errors, however, during the install, the update stops with the following error - "The update was downloaded, but couldn't be opened. (80188309)" . Apparently, this issue has appeared across the globe that includes Germany, Sweden, Italy, Nigeria, etc across Lumia devices 820, 920, etc.

One of the speculations going on is that the issue is caused on devices that do not have the Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update which in fact most device do not have. Those devices which have the developer preview installed did not face issues with this update. It appears that Nokia goofed up with the update on a very large scale and the effect is globally spread. Some websites are suggesting you to install the developer preview with specific steps, however, that may void your warranty, hence, it is best to wait for the resolution directly from Nokia.
