CORBY2 - Virtual Keypad

When you are not comfortable in playing Full-touch Java Games or Apps, Virtual keypad is your rescuer. As you can see in the image, It is composed of eight ( 8 ) boxes with a specific function. The four arrows signals its direction. The two opposite dots function will depend on the game/app. On that image, the left one functions as "Item" and the other one as "Pause". The other buttons function will
also depend on the game/app you are playing.

Advantage of using Virtual Keypad

    Virtual keypad is very helpful especially if a java game has a limited buttons space and when you tried to touch a specific button, the other one will also be touched which can be annoying sometimes. If you are playing an RPG Game, I think the absence of virtual keypads can make the game harder. Virtual keypads can help you move your character properly as well as other game functions. 

Disadvantage of using Virtual Keypad

    When you are using Virtual keypad, the game screen will reduce as virtual keypad will also take a little space. 

How to enable Virtual Keypad in Corby 2

    To enable virtual keypad on a specific game/app, simply go to "Games" and click "Settings". Now click "Use Virtual Keypad" and check the game/app in which you want to use it.

How to Save Power in Any Mobile Phone

We all know that mobile phone is very important to all of us. It is the alternative way in communicating our love ones especially if they are far away. Mobile Phones are in everywhere as mobile companies continue to produce and improve mobile features to satisfy our needs. As many features are added, battery consumption becomes too fast. You might fully recharged your device in couple of hours, but your battery became empty in just a couple of minutes. It is very
frustrating when you run out of power especially when you are dealing with a very important or serious matter. Ever wondered why is that so? Try to follow these easy steps, it might help you extend your battery life in any mobile phones and devices.

1. Keep your Screen Brightness as low as possible. 

   Keeping your screen brightness in low can help you save power. When you are using your devices at night, it is more appropriate to reduce your screen brightness. This can also help in protecting your eyes since too much brightness in the dark can is not appropriate.

2. Keep backlight time at a minimum level.

   Keeping your your device backlight time at a minimum level can help save power. This will let your device doesn't stay active for long when not in use. 

3. Avoid in using Widgets which needs Internet Connection.

   Widgets like weather, news feeds, and social networking updates consume more power as they use your phone's data connection and auto sync capabilities.

4. Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use.

   Turning off your bluetooth and Wi-Fi can help you save power. They may just be like that but they consume more battery power.

5. Close running unused applications.

   When you are using your device, for example a tablet, there are times that you do really open lots of applications ( Games, Browsers or etc ). And so inorder to have easier access with them, you just minimize it on the dock. To save power, close unused applications. They are just minimized and still continue to function, thus consuming more battery.

6. Download a Battery Saver App.

   It is much better to download a battery saver application in play store ( If your device is Android ). This app will provide you a lists of running applications which consumes more power.

Firmware Risk - Dead Corby Prevention

Installing firmwares is fun and exciting. I know we really want to have a nicer and cooler corby 2 appearance, interface and features. But don't you know that when you install firmware, you are also putting your phone on risk? I am not saying nor encouraging you that you should not install or update firmwares anymore. I am saying that you should do it properly, to prevent possible phone damage which can kill your phone ( corby 2 ). 


These steps might be helpful for you, before you install firmwares please take time to read this.

1. Gather all required things. 

    Before installing, it is much better that you should gather and prepare the required things first ( Software ) before making any steps. Let us not close the tendency that if ever you'll forget a part or let us just say a piece of firmware ( like .csc ), it could possibly mess up your phone which could result in damage.

    It is much better to make a new folder, label it properly so that you can locate the firmware files easily. The more organize folder for each file, the better.

    You should also check if the firmware you are going to install is compatible with corby 2. You should also ask the authorized person if it still works, if there's an update or what should you do to install it properly.

2. Configure your Computer.

    Your computer is also part in installing. If your computer freezes while installing firmware, that's a big problem. It will mess your phone and could possible kill your corby 2 because of incomplete installation, so it is always advisable to check and configure your computer first.

    Try to install firmwares on computer which runs smoothly, no problems at all and has a good specifications to prevent hardware failure upon installing. Try to check your computer specs by pressing Windows-logo + R and type "dxdiag". 

    Now check your USB ports, if it is running well. Your ports must not be damaged because it can cause incomplete installation. If possible, do not use an external usb port when installing.

3. Stable Internet Connection.

    If you are going to download firmwares on external links, I suggest you should download it when you have a stable internet connection. I really blamed our internet connection provider when I found out that incomplete download of firmware killed my corby 2. I installed it on my phone having an incomplete file. Now I need to bring my phone to shops to have it for repair.
