The device which will be for the very first time having the Ice Cream Sandwich is Samsung Nexus smartphone. BY now the Big G has released the open source code of the new flavor of the Android and is available to download now.

The Google promised and finally it has delivered the source code to open source community and what is more interesting is that  the code now available encompasses the complete source code history tree, which includes the never-before-open Android Honeycomb family of releases.

The Ice Cream Sandwich was released to unify the smartphone and tablet platform. Previously GIngerbread was for Smartphones and Honeycomb was dedicated to the tablet computers.

Jean Baptiste, who is software engineer on the Android open source project at Google noted: “This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first Android 4.0 device.

In the source tree, you will find a device build target named “full_maguro” that you can use to build a system image for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come later.”

Jean continued: This release includes the full history of the Android source code tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb releases.

However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven’t created any tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the changes are present in the history.) Google Android 4.0.1, codenamed “Ice Cream Sandwich,” has been released to the open source community.

How to Change Your Computer’s IP Address

Sometimes, while browsing your internet you come across something like “Page Not Found” error. You check your internet connection and all the linking cables but all of them seem to be okay. Then you decide to call the Internet Helpline Service that, for sure, takes much time.

Actually, the problem is with your computer’s Internet protocol address a.k.a IP address. IP address is a way to identify users on internet through their computers. When you face “Page Not Found” error, it means that your computer’s IP address might have been banned. In this case, changing your computer’s IP address may solve the problem. This is very easy and simple, and you can do it using Command prompt. Just follow the steps given below.

For Windows XP users:

1. Got to Start Menu.
2. Click “Run” on menu.
3. Type ‘cmd’ in the box (without quote) and press OK.
4. A Command Prompt Window will pop up, resembling DOS operating system. Type ‘ipconfig’ (without the quotes). This will show your computer’s current IP address.
5. Type ‘ipconfig/release’ and press “Enter”. This will release your computer’s current IP address.
6. Type ‘ipconfig/renew’ and press “Enter”. Now your computer will be assigned a new IP address.
7. Type ‘exit’ and press “Enter”. This will close the window. Now your computer has a new IP address.

For Windows vista or Windows 7 users:

1. Go to “Start”. Type ‘cmd’ in Search bar.
2. Click ‘cmd’. This will open a Command Prompt Window.
3. In this window, type ‘ipconfig/release’ and press “Enter”. At this point, your computer’s IP address must be 0.0.0.0.
4. Type ‘ipconfig/renew’ and press “Enter” again. Your computer will obtain a new set of IP addresses.
5. Close the window by typing ‘exit’ and pressing “Enter”.

Hopefully changing the IP address will solve your problem. However, if you still face the problem, turn off your router. Turn it on after 2-3 minutes and repeat the procedure. If the connectivity problem remains unresolved, call Helpline service.

Changing your IP address is strongly recommended if you have bought a used computer. It will give computer’s connectivity a whole new start. Connectivity problems that a computer might face when it is moved to a different location can also be resolved by this method.
