Recently the pricing and the launch timeline for the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G was tipped. The specification of the device was also revealed in the past. In a new development, the renders of the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G have also surfaced online ahead of the official announcement. The leaked renders reveal the form factor of the smartphone and it looks similar to that of the original Nord 2.According to a report, the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G leaked renders are shown in grey and olive colours. The device is said to have a hole-punch design AMOLED display. While on the right side of the frame the power button is given and the left side consists of the volume rocker. The bottom part of the handset has a microphone, speaker grille, headphone jack and a USB Type-C port. Also, there will be an in-display fingerprint sensor onboard. In terms of optics, there will be a triple rear camera sensor housed inside a rectangular module similar to what we have seen on the original OnePlus Nord 2.Talking about the specification, OxygenOS 12 will run on top of Android 12 on the OnePlus Nord 2 CE. Furthermore, the handset is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, as well as 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device is expected to have a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The display, as well as the back panel, will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, with a punch hole cut out for the selfie camera. Plastic will be used for the side frames.A triple camera setup with a 64MP primary OmniVision sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens will be found on the back of the OnePlus Nord 2 CE phone. On the front, there’s a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls. It has a battery capacity of 4,500mAh and supports 65W fast charging.A triple card slot for SIM and microSD card is said to be included in the smartphone. The existing OnePlus Nord CE does not have a MicroSD card slot, so the inclusion of the triple card slot is an upgrade over the predecessor. The phone, however, is said to lack the alert slider, which is a bummer.The OnePlus Nord 2 CE was previously tipped to cost around Rs 28,000. According to the report, the smartphone will be released in India in the first quarter of 2022, and it will also be available in Europe.

Spotify has announced the addition of a rating feature for podcasts for which the users will be able to rate podcasts with up to five stars. The new rating system will be added to the company’s existing Podcast Charts recommendation system. With the addition of the new feature, the company will be able to improve podcast discovery on the music streaming platform. While announcing the feature Spotify said, “starting today, we’re beginning to roll out ratings for podcasts: a star rating system that improves podcast discoverability by highlighting shows’ popularity. Podcast ratings give listeners an opportunity to support their favourite podcast shows and enable a two-way feedback loop between creator and listener.”Fans will be able to rate a show on a 1–5 star scale after listening to it. The average rating, along with the total number of ratings received, will be publicly displayed on the podcast’s show page on Spotify.Spotify made it easier for listeners to decide when to try out a new podcast and see if it will become their new favourite by introducing ratings. Podcast ratings have the potential to generate immediate interest because they will be the first chance to attract new listeners. From any show page in the Spotify app (iOS and Android), they can simply tap to rate a show on a scale from one to five stars, as long as they’ve listened to at least 30 seconds of an episode. Listeners will be able to add their rating right from the show page on Spotify—by either tapping on the rating directly or the three-dot menu below the podcast cover art. Creators will be able to check their rating at any time from their Spotify show page, once it’s received 10 ratings.Ratings also provide creators with a big-picture view of how they’re doing, which they can then use to their advantage by soliciting more specific feedback via Spotify Q&As and off-platform social conversations. Creators can also build their ratings by encouraging their fans to rate them on Spotify. Here are just a few ideas that can be tailored to incorporate your show’s voice and tone:
“Thank you so much for listening to [show name]. Make sure to rate us everywhere you listen to podcasts, including Spotify.”
“Thank you for listening to our show. If you like what you’re hearing, make sure to rate our show on Spotify.”
“Do you like this show? Let us know by leaving us a rating on our Spotify show page.”

Safari is a really popular and one of the most used web browsers among Apple users. Safari is not a memory hog like Google Chrome and also provides continuity features for Apple devices. If your Safari browser is unable to open sites and shows a “Can’t Find Server” issue, then there could be many reasons behind it. We will guide you through the 10 best ways to fix the ‘Safari cannot find server’ issue on iPhone, iPad and Mac.Read Also:Samsung rolls out Galaxy AI features on Samsung Galaxy Buds in India
In This Article
Restart iPhone
Most of the issues can be solved by restarting devices. If you have not restarted your iPhone in a while then chances are that your iPhone is not working properly and needs to be restarted. Restarting your phone will clear all your apps from the RAM and will start them afresh. This should solve the problem.
Reload the webpage
Sometimes, the Safari browser may fail to connect to the website server due to a dodgy internet connection. The good thing is, it can establish the connection upon reloading the webpage a couple of times. Simply hit the refresh icon next to the address bar to reload the webpage. On your Mac, pressing Command + R achieves the same result. If this doesn’t work and you keep getting the ‘Safari cannot find server’ error message, move on to the other fixes in this list.

Reset Router
Routers can sometimes be the main cause of a problem related to your web surfing. In such cases, you won’t be able to load any website. So, you need to restart your router and after that update it to the latest firmware version (if available). You can also call your internet company which gave you the router for a quick fix.
Change DNS settings
If restarting and updating the router didn’t work then you might need to change the DNS settings. The default DNS settings do not work sometimes. Google’s DNS is very reliable and efficient. That is the reason why most of the users prefer Google DNS.Here is how you change DNS settings on an iPhone:
Go to settings and open WiFi.
Then click the icon next to the name of the WiFi that you are connected with.
Then tap configure DNS and then click Add Server/Manual.
Add Google DNS server by typing 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
If you have received a URL from your friend and it is not opening inside Safari, then you should check the URL once. On iPhones as well as on Macs the top bar is where you can find the URL. Find and remove any typo in the URL, even if only one letter is different than that of the real URL the site won’t open.
Clear Cache and Data of Safari browser
Clearing cache and data on apps does help in most of the situations, clearing data basically clears all the user data on the browser and the app will act as a freshly installed one. To clear the data and cache of Safari on iPhones just follow these steps:
Open Settings, scroll down, and tap on Safari.
You could see an option that says Clear History and Website Data, just tap on that.
All the data of the Safari browser is now cleared and the issue should be resolved.
Turn off or disable Content Blocker/Pop up blocker
Content blocker is Safari’s native ad-blocking tool that does improve the reading experience, but blocking ads does take a hit on the income of the organisation. So, some websites do not allow users to read articles if the content blocker is on.Here is how you can turn off the content blocker on iPhones:
Open settings by tapping the gear icon.
Scroll and find Safari and then open the content blocker/Pop up blocker setting.
Disable content blocker.
If you want to disable this setting on Mac follow these steps:
Just hover the mouse on the search bar at the top of the Safari browser.
From there, uncheck the Enable Content Blocker settings.
Check if the website is down
It is possible that the problem lies with the website’s server rather than the Safari web browser on your iPhone/Mac. To make sure this is the case, go to Downdetector.in and enter the name of the website. If you see a spike in user reports, it means that the website is currently experiencing a server outage. The only thing you can do in this situation is wait for the website servers to be restored to normalcy.
Turn off VPN
If you use a VPN to browse the web, it can cause issues while loading certain apps. This is because certain websites are geo-locked for some countries. Disable the VPN and reload the website to use its services. If you don’t want to compromise your web anonymity by disabling the VPN, you can also connect to a server from a different country to access the web page.
Update your device
Safari browser comes with macOS pre-installed and unlike other apps, which you can update from the store, Safari is updated when you update your Mac.So you might need to update your Mac in order to solve the issue.To update your Mac just go to System Preferences and then Update menuUpdate your Mac to the latest version available and the issue should be resolved.Similarly, check for iOS updates in your iPhone settings and update it to the latest version available.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why am I getting the ‘Safari can’t find server’ error on my iPhone?
This error typically occurs when Safari isn’t able to connect to a website due to corrupt files in its cached memory. Clear the cache and try again. Make sure you have entered the correct URL and reset the DNS settings as well.
How do I check if a website is down?
Downdetector.in is a great place to check whether a website is currently experiencing a server outage. If you notice a spike in user reports, it means that the website is down.
How do I clear Safari’s cache on my iPhone?
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data to delete all the data related to the Safari browser, including its cached memory.

Conclusion
If you follow all these steps the ‘Safari Can’t Find Server Issue’ will be solved. We suggest routinely clearing Safari’s cache and cookies to prevent this issue from occurring in the future. If you know of any other fixes to resolve this problem, let us know in the comments!

Sit in a room with good isolation:
Sitting in a room well isolated can reduce the amount of background noise of a dog barking nearby or the noise that is produced by construction work. Also, try to attend meetings in that room of your house which is filled with sound-absorbing materials such as rugs, mats, carpets, and heavy curtains. Soft materials like blankets and rugs have the ability to absorb sound up to some extent. Also, you have to make sure that while attending the meeting you are not directly facing a wall, as it will reflect back your voice and can produce noise.Read also: Microsoft now introduces new custom background effects in

It is understandable that not everyone has a separate room at their home, but it is better to stay away and create boundaries from the source noise.
Remove noise inside Google Meet:
Using Google’s noise cancellation feature can also help you to reduce noise up to an extent. However, most of the noise-removing tools make your voice a bit robotic, but anyway it would be far better than that of a dog barking nearby.If you have tried the previous options and the noise is still there. It is the right time to enable Google’s noise cancellation feature.To enable noise cancellation feature in your Google Meet just follow the given steps:
Open google meet to join the meeting.
Before tapping on ask to join click the 3 dot menu.

Attending meetings or classes on your phone or laptop is very normal in today’s era. Online meetings have opened the door to get involved in any meeting on the go, but attending the meetings online does come with the cost of background noise.

Use rooms with furniture carpets and other sound-absorbing materials:
Have you ever noticed that in an empty room how your sound echoes? Yes, each and every room produces some amount of echo, we might not be able to hear it, but there is some amount of echo in any room. The echo can be reduced if you have a heavy curtain or furniture inside it.So, you should always try to do meetings in that room of your house which has most of the furniture, carpets and other sound damping materials. The microphones on devices are sensitive and can pick up even the slightest of sound. So, next time whenever you sit for an online meeting, make sure you try this method and see the results.Read also: Best ways to fix audio issues in Zoom meetings
Use the Microphone correctly:
Most of the people don’t know where the microphone of their device is placed, so either they end up blocking the mic on their phone or they stay too far from the mic of their laptop. Blocking the mic makes your sound muffle and noisy. The mics on the phones are generally placed at the bottom of the phone and on the top bezel in the case of laptops. So make sure that they are neither blocked nor you are too far from them.Additionally, you can also use an external mic if it is available with you, or you can just use any normal pair of earphones. External mic/earphones generally are better than onboard mics on most of the laptops.
Use inbuilt noise reduction tools:
Zoom is a really popular web conferencing tool that is used across the globe. It has many features and one of them is its built-in noise suppression tool.It reduces the amount of background noise from your end and offers clean and crisp audio.The only requirement in this is that you should have the latest version of the Zoom desktop app (5.2.0 or newer). If you have the latest version then follow these steps:
Click on the Settings icon on the top right corner.
Then, select the audio option.
Under the suppress background noise menu, you will find 3 stages of audio separation select any one according to your surroundings.
Another way to reduce background noise in Zoom Video calls is this one. Windows also has its own in-built noise suppression tools if you are on Windows 7 or later, then you can also find it in your system. Just follow the steps below to enable noise reduction:
Open hardware and sound option in the control panel.
Under the sound option, click the manage audio devices.
Switch to the recording tab.
Select the microphone being used and click on properties.
You will find a slider that controls the microphone’s sensitivity, reduce it and see if it reduces the noise.

The Oppo Find N uses a landscape ratio for the inner display that seamlessly switches between an immersive 7.1-inch inner display and a 5.49-inch outer display. The inner display, which has an 8.4:9 aspect ratio, unfolds directly into landscape mode, allowing users to watch videos, play games, or read books without having to rotate the device. The 18:9 aspect ratio, when folded for single-handed use.The 12-layer Serene Display from OPPO provides excellent protection and durability, and it works in tandem with the Flexion Hinge to provide a smooth foldable experience. In addition to this, the screen has a Flexion UTG (ultra-thin glass) layer of 0.03 mm, compared to 0.6 mm for regular smartphone glass, allowing it to bend easily while maintaining strong durability. It is claimed to be folded over 200,000 times. While the inner screen is an LTPO display that adjusts the refresh rate from 1-120 Hz depending on what you’re watching. A touch sampling rate of up to 1,000 Hz is also supported on the inner display. With a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits, both screens provide 10,240 automatic brightness levels.According to the company, the Oppo foldable phone uses a unique water-drop hinge design solves some of the most common problems with foldable devices by widening the angle of the display fold and providing a buffer when the display folds, resulting in a minimal crease that is up to 80% less noticeable than other devices. When folded the design is said to virtually eliminate the gap between displays, giving it a more integrated appearance and better protecting the inner display from scratches.The advanced Flexion Hinge’s cam and spring structure allow it to stand freely at any angle between 50 and 120 degrees when unfolded. The OPPO Find N can be turned into a mini laptop using the Notes app, allowing you to take notes without having to hold the device.Because the foldable phone can stand at various angles, it also acts as a tripod, making 4K HD time-lapse photography, video calls, and online meetings simple and hands-free.The content is seamlessly relayed from the outer screen to the main inner display when the phone is unfolded. When the device is folded, the user can swipe up on the cover screen to use the same feature on the outer screen. Furthermore, a variety of keyboard customizations for the large inner display, including a split keyboard that makes it easier to type with two thumbs, aid productivity.The OPPO Find N is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.In terms of optics, Oppo Find N features a triple-camera setup that includes 50 MP Sony IMX 766 main sensor, a 16 MP ultra-wide lens and a 13 MP telephoto lens, as well as selfie cameras on both the inner and outer displays. FlexForm Mode allows for hands-free 4K HD time-lapse imaging at any angle between 50 and 120 degrees, and three time-lapse templates – light trails, night sky, and sun and clouds – optimise photo and video settings in one click for more exciting and creative astrophotography. When the device is bent at less than 60 degrees, the image preview is automatically moved to the bottom display, making it easier to set up your shot. Selfies can also be taken using hand gestures, so you can easily stay in the frame without having to press the shutter button.Lastly, the Oppo Foldable phone is fuelled by a 4,500mAh battery which supports 33W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge. This is claimed to charge the device to 55% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 70 minutes. It also comes with 15W AIRVOOC wireless charging (compatible with standard Qi) and 10W reverse wireless charging.

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update in which users can listen to a preview of their voice messages before sending them if you prefer sending voice messages over text messages on WhatsApp. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform took to its social media platform to announce the arrival of the new feature. This functionality was under testing for quite a long time as earlier the users were unable to get a preview of their Voice message before they hit send. But this is possible as the preview voice message will work both on individual chats as well as in group chats. The WhatsApp preview voice message feature has been enabled for Android, iOS as well as Web/desktop platforms. One can now easily check if the audio quality is fine or not before they send it to an individual chat or in group chats. After tapping the Review button, you can listen to the voice message you were previously recording and you will be able to decide if you want to discard or send it.
They’re not mistakes, they’re rehearsals. Now you can preview your voice messages before you hit send. pic.twitter.com/ohnEVrGTvD
How to preview WhatsApp voice message before sending
First things first, launch WhatsApp and go to individual chat or group chat.
Slide up to lock hands-free recording after tapping and holding the microphone.
Begin to speak.
Stop tapping when you’re done.
To listen to your recording, press the play button. You can also tap any part of the recording to start playing it at that point in time.
To delete the voice message, tap the trash can, or tap send to send it.
Note that If you just touch the microphone button on the app instead of sliding it up to lock the recording function, you can still accidentally send irregular voice messages.In May this year, WhatsApp added a new feature allowing large media previews in chats for a better user experience. This feature shows larger media previews in chats so that you can see the large images and video previews on the display of sent media.

According to a report, the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G leaked renders are shown in grey and olive colours. The device is said to have a hole-punch design AMOLED display. While on the right side of the frame the power button is given and the left side consists of the volume rocker. The bottom part of the handset has a microphone, speaker grille, headphone jack and a USB Type-C port. Also, there will be an in-display fingerprint sensor onboard. In terms of optics, there will be a triple rear camera sensor housed inside a rectangular module similar to what we have seen on the original OnePlus Nord 2.
Talking about the specification, OxygenOS 12 will run on top of Android 12 on the OnePlus Nord 2 CE. Furthermore, the handset is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, as well as 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device is expected to have a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The display, as well as the back panel, will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, with a punch hole cut out for the selfie camera. Plastic will be used for the side frames.
A triple camera setup with a 64MP primary OmniVision sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens will be found on the back of the OnePlus Nord 2 CE phone. On the front, there’s a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls. It has a battery capacity of 4,500mAh and supports 65W fast charging.
A triple card slot for SIM and microSD card is said to be included in the smartphone. The existing OnePlus Nord CE does not have a MicroSD card slot, so the inclusion of the triple card slot is an upgrade over the predecessor. The phone, however, is said to lack the alert slider, which is a bummer.
The OnePlus Nord 2 CE was previously tipped to cost around Rs 28,000. According to the report, the smartphone will be released in India in the first quarter of 2022, and it will also be available in Europe.
