Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Could Bring Support for Folders and Smart Cases


It seems Microsoft will soon roll out the first update for Windows Phone 8.1 devices, as the Redmond giant has already shipped it to manufacturers. A report quoting sources has claimed the update will bring support for app folders and smart flip cases, amongst other new features.


According to Nokiapoweruser, the Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 - as the first update to Windows Phone 8.1 is called - is being tested by manufactures, the first 'public' step in the lifecycle of an update. The report claims the update brings Android and iOS-like feature to create folders for simpler management of apps. Users will be able to drag and drop tiles on top of other tiles to create a folder. This is not completely unexpected, since last month the company accidentally made live one of the webpages detailing steps for creating a folder on Windows Phone 8.1.



Another feature in Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1, as per the report, will be support for smart flip cases for devices. Smart cases have become rather popular these days with the likes of HTC dot case, LG Quick-Circle case, Samsung S-view case, and more; and it seems Windows Phone will get support for them.

Additionally, the Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 update change log obtained by the website suggests it will include Voice over LTE (VoLTE) support, dual-SIM support for both GSM and CDMA networks, a medium Live Tile for the Store app, a phonebook entry for virtual assistant Cortana to enable integration with car's navigation system, support for 7-inch devices and WXGA 800x1280 pixels resolution devices.


The next logical question is on the timing on the update, and while the original report is silent on the subject, The Verge says Microsoft plans to release Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 to developers within this week, failing which, it will happen next month (August).

Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
