A few months ago, my colleague Ketal Gandhi posted about the work our new licensee, eInfochips, had done in porting a video conferencing app to Linaro Linux. Using the Inforce IFC6410 Single Board Computer with the Qualcomm™ Snapdragon® 600 processor, they delivered an app with Qt5, Sofia SIP and Gstreamer (with only H.263 and Speex software codecs) that cut latency by 500 percent. And they did it in just a couple of months.
We’ve selected VTX as our Developer of the Month for December. VTX has offices in Brazil and the United States and develops software for Android, iOS and Windows Phone, to help consumers easily purchase shoes, electronics, books and other goods.

Turn off chatty apps.
Seems simple, right? You’re constantly recharging your phone because you’re running apps that keep sending and receiving data, which consumes power. So turn off some of those apps.
But first you have to find them. Then you have to catch them red-handed. Those are the hard parts.
