So how do I secure the smartphone from bad applications? Here are tips about how to protect smartphone of bad apps:

A. Build awareness of the threat. The number of smartphone malware that has been identified tend to be less than the malware on your desktop or laptop. But the threat is really there, and the more dangerous applications continue to emerge. Remain vigilant against such threats could be one way of protecting the smartphone.

B. Ensure the security of the app and the app resources before you install it in your smartphone. Generally people tend to install just the applications that are to be a trend. But it would be better if the smartphone owners do some research prior to the application through the review, friend recommendations, as well as the Google search engine.

C. Looking for an application through a reputable provider. Some mobile platforms allow the installation of any application that can be found via web. Normally it would be better if you select the application through the official websites of the application provider.

D. Identify permit the use of the application. Every time you install new applications, permits the use of this application will always show through a notification. Generally in the use permit will be mentioned which access has the potential hazards. For example, if a gaming application request permission to access your address book, you can immediately block the irrelevant request.

E. Finally, use mobile antivirus. Some antivirus providers have a particular version that is used specifically for smartphones. You can use mobile antivirus application whether paid or free. For those who feel the need to protect his smartphone, you can search for the antivirus applications via the web.

Here's on how to maximize the Battery Life of Samsung Galaxy S3.

These steps will work for any Samsung Galaxy smartphone, including Samsung Galaxy S, S2, Ace, Ace Plus, Y, Y Duos, Pocket, Wonder, and Samsung Galaxy Note.

1. Turn on Power Saving - You can do this simply by swiping down on the notifications tab and clicking on the Power Saving box in the upper right corner. This mode underclocks the CPU to around 800 MHz to 1 GHz resulting in a slight decrease in the phone's overall performance; The most noticeable effect of which is slower screen refresh rate.

Turn off Automatic Brightness and Set Screen Brightness to Zero:
If there's one part of any full touchscreen phone that affects its battery life the most, it would have to be the display. And the brighter it is, the more energy it consumes. So to augment the uptime, I would suggest that you set your S3 screen's brightness to zero by going to Settings, Display, then Brightness. Just untick the Automatic brightness box and slide Brightness down to zero. Anyway, when you're at home or in the office, SuperAMOLED Plus even at zero brightness will still look bright and readable.

Take it a step further: If you want to further dim the screen, you can download Screen Filter app from Google Play. This app applies a shade to the display that acts as a dimmer, helping prolong battery life while making the screen easier on the eyes during night-time viewing.

Disable Interactive Home Screen Widgets:
While some of them actually look cute, these widgets - especially those that refresh and use connectivity regularly - can eat up your battery just like that. To remove interactive widgets from the home screen, just long press on them, then click delete or swipe them up and off the edge of the display.

Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Mobile Data Connection if you don't need them: Just like when conserving water or electricity (i.e. turn off the faucet and unplug appliances if you don't need them), disable your phone's connectivity options if you're not using them. You can easily disable WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS via the notifications tab, while you need to go to Settings to turn off Mobile Data. You can also use Samsung's static Power Saving widget or download one from Google Play to help you manage your connections straight from the home screen.

Turn off Notifications and Close Apps After Using Them:
There are a lot of applications for Android - especially those for social networking - that when launched and left running in the background continue to use connectivity and update even if you're not viewing them. The first thing I would suggest you do is to turn off notifications for every app you download (unless you really need to get notified regularly). You can do this by going to the apps' settings and unticking the notifications box. Second, remember to close apps after you use them. On ICS, this is as simple as long pressing the home button to view thumbnails of all recent apps and swiping those you want to close either to the left or to the right. (For other Galaxy phone users: If you're still on Gingerbread, just click on the Menu button while running the app and click close or exit.)

Disable Vibrate and Haptic Feedback:
Again, this is another 'turned on by default' feature that you might want to disable to save battery. To turn off Vibration, just go to Settings, Sound, and Set Vibration Intensity for Ringtone, Notification, and Vibrate on Screen Tap to zero. This will also disable haptic feedback when using any virtual keyboard -- even third party ones like SwiftKey or Go Keyboard.

Turn off Account Sync:
Regular account sync for Social Hub, Google, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, and other apps - even when just in the background - uses connectivity and other services. To disable this, just go to Settings, Accounts and Sync and make sure that the tab in the upper right corner is switched off.

Here's the video on how to Screenshot the Google Nexus 7.

There could be a reason why Android devices do not have built-in screenshot features. The most sensible reason is related to security. But if the iPhone and iPad have easy screenshot mechanisms, why can’t the Android have it too? Samsung devices have this built-in screenshot feature but other brands do not have it.

The solution is to download screenshot apps from the Google Play store but this usually requires rooting your device. The other solution is to download desktop apps like the MyPhoneExplorer but that limits taking screenshots on the desktop only. It’s still better if screenshots can be freely taken on the device itself.

To take a screenshot on your new Nexus 7, hold in the volume down and the power buttons at the same time. After a brief pause, you'll hear an audible noise and see an animation.

Watch the video here:




Do this for about a second or two until you see an animation of the screen zooming out. You’ll then see a notification on the notification bar saying that the screenshot has been saved. The screenshot is automatically saved in the Nexus 7’s Gallery folder under a subfolder named Screenshots.

Here's the easiest way to block Adult Websites from Children at Home or maybe in the Office.

Did you knew the first website ever made?

Simply put, it was a website made by the World Wide Web’s creator Tim Berners-Lee photo below, who was working for CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). The first ever website was published on August 6, 1991 and served up a page explaining the World Wide Web project and giving information on how users could setup a web server and how to create their own websites and web pages, as well as how they could search the web for information. The URL for the first ever page put up on the first ever website was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.

You can easily and effectivily block access to a website by adding it to your Windows HOSTS file.(Yes, Hosts is capitalised for some strange reason). Without any software. Doesn't matter what browser that you use.

Step 1: Click the Start button and select Run. Now type the following text in that Run box:

notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Step 2: You will see a new notepad window on your screen containing some cryptic information. Don’t panic. Just goto the last line of the file, hit the enter key and type the following:

127.0.0.1 name of the URL you want to block

For example to block the MySpace.com homepage (highly recommended!), simply type:

127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com

Other parts of MySpace could be blocked in a similar way:

127.0.0.1 search.myspace.com
127.0.0.1 profile.myspace.com
etc etc etc..

You may need to add sites with both with and without the "www.". Test after blocking to make sure you got it right.

You can add as many sites as you wish to block in this fashion. I, myself, have over 12000 undesireable and dangerous sites in my personal HOSTS file!

Step 3: Close Notepad and answer "Yes" when prompted.

Step 4: Reboot your computer and attempt to access your now blocked website. You should see a Cannot find server or DNS Error saying: "The page cannot be displayed"

If you want to remove the ban later, open the same file as mentioned in Step 1 and delete the above lines.

Here's the apps that would help you on how to remove all tweets on twitter at one command.

Try TwitWipe apps. TwitWipe is a tool to wipe or delete all your tweets in one go. You may need to do this to start over, to clean it out before handing the account over to someone else, or maybe you've just realised how shitty your tweets are. And all this is free.

Think more times before you take away of your tweet in your account.

You can't get your tweets back. There's no undo button. I don't want to make TwitWipe back up tweets, because that sounds lame.

How To Use (TwitWipe) Application?

1. Visit TwitWipe Login page.

2. In the right there is an option to grant access to TwitWipe application. You need to grant TwitWipe access to your Twitter account.
3. After the second step, at the same place where the grant access to TwitWipe application link appeared, there will now be a link named “Start Wiping”. Click on Start Wiping.

4. It will now ask you to confirm your decision.There are two options “Yeah!” or “No!!” If you have decided to delete all tweets click on Yeah or if you don’t want to delete your tweets, you can click on No and go back always!

About signing in: TwitWipe uses oAuth, so you don’t need to give out your password for this to happen. Although it’s very unlikely that you’d have to worry about even if it did ask you for the password, because it is, you know, deleting all your tweets! What’s the worst that could happen?

When you switch on or reset you PC it performs a diagnostic test called a Power-On Self Test (POST) to check that all the components are present and working correctly.

First, it checks core components such as the system clock, processor, RAM, keyboard controller and graphics card. If any device fails this part of the POST, you'll hear series of beeps sound from from the desktop computers.

After the graphics card has passed its test, the BIOS can then indicate any errors onscreen, such as the classic "Keyboard error or no Keyboard present. Press F1 to continue" message.
When the POST has completed successfully, most Personal Computer/Laptop emit a short beep to let you know the hardware is working correctly. That's why beep codes differ depending on the bios manufacturer computer, so refer to your bios mainboard manual if you have it.

Below are the list of common beep codes for popular BIOSes. Check out!

AWARD BIOS
→ ONE LONG, TWO SHORT BEEPS Graphics card error (reseat or replace graphics card)
→ ONE LONG, THREE SHORT BEEPS No graphics card, or graphics memory error (install or replace graphics card)
→ TWO SHORT BEEPS Memory error (reseat or replace memory)
→ ONE HIGH-PITCHED BEEP Processor overheating symptoms
→ ONE HIGH-PITCHED BEEP, ONE LOW PITCH BEEP Processor error music

AMI BIOS

→ TWO BEEPS Memory parity error (reseat or replace memory)
→ THREE BEEPS Memory read or write error (reseat or replace memory)
→ FOUR BEEPS motherboard timer is not working properly
→ FIVE BEEPS Processor or memory error (reseat or replace processor and memory)
→ SIX BEEPS Keyboard controller failure (replace motherboard)
→ SEVEN BEEPS Processor exception interrupt error (reseat or replace processor)
→ EIGHT BEEPS Display memory read or write failure (reseat or replace graphic card)
→ NINE BEEPS BIOS ROM Checksum errors (replace BIOS chip motherboard)
→ TEN BEEPS Bad cache memory (replace cache memory if possible)
→ ONE LONG, THREE SHORT BEEPS Memory error (reseat or remove any memory recently added and reseat all other memory)
→ ONE LONG, EIGHT SHORT BEEPS Graphic card error (reseat ghraphics card)

PHOENIX BIOS
Phoenix BIOSes produce a series of beeps separated by a pause. For example: beep... beep beep beep...beep... beep would be 1-3-1-1
→ 1-1-4-1 Level 2 cache error (reseat or replace the processor)
→ 1-2-2-3 BIOS ROM checksum (replace BIOS chip or motherboard)
→ 1-3-1-1 Memory refresh test failure (reseat or replace memory)
→ 1-3-1-3 Keyboard controller failure (replace the motherboard)

How to fix or dry iPhone in a water damage? What should you do if you accidentally drop your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S and iPhone 5?

Well the first thing is don't take it back to an Apple Store or Carphone Warehouse and pretend it's nothing to do with water. The iPhone has four 'Liquid Submersion indicators' inside it that turn pink on contact with water - so they will know if you're telling porkies.

If you accidentally drop your iPhone in liquid, you may either use rice as shown in the video to revive that wet iPhone.

The warranty of electronic gadgets may not cover damage due to water.

Here the procedure for drying an iPhone 4 damaged by water is as follows:

It is important to get the iPhone 4 out of the water as soon as possible. Once the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S out of the water, you turn it off immediately. If you see a white windmill on the screen and turns off the device, hold the power button and home button until it turns off. Then remove the card SIM.

Pack the iPhone in a sealed plastic bag of uncooked rice or Silica gel and store it in a dry place for at least three days. That should ensure all the moisture is drawn out from the electronic innards of your iPhone.
Squeeze the plastic bag for all the extra air out and seal.
If you can't get hold of the Silica gel quickly place your iPhone in a bag, container or box of uncooked rice and reseal it. This will keep it as dry as possible in the meantime. Transfer the iPhone to the Silica gel bags when you get them. As you know, they’re designed to absorb moisture, which means they offer a great method for sucking the water out of your wet device. Be patience at this time.

Finally connect up your iPhone to your PC, load up iTunes and try to do a complete Restore. This will provide you with the best chance of getting the iPhone to its pre-drenched working state.

Let the iPhone 4 in the plastic bag 48 to 76 hours and then turn it on. If still not working properly as a result of water damage, put the iPhone back on rice for about 12 hours more.

Follow the 4 Set Up ways on Samsung Nexus S.

1. Download the custom ROM
XDA-Developers and download the Nexus S custom ROM (v2, “no need for wifi patch”).

Hit up XDA-Developers and download the Nexus S custom ROM (v2, “no need for wifi patch”). If you have a 4G Nexus S, you can download the appropriate custom ROM.

2. Root your phone and install ROM Manager
If you’re already using CyanogenMod (which hopefully you are), your phone will already be rooted and have ROM Manager installed.
The best way to do this is to follow a video guide, but googling for “how to root nexus s” works as well.

3. Make a backup!

Scroll down in ROM Manager and select “Backup Current ROM.” This will back up all of the system and app data on your phone — but not any data on your SD card, such as photos or music. This backup is saved on your phone’s SD card, in the “clockworkmod” directory — and once it’s done, you should copy this to your computer via USB. You will need this backup if you want to restore your phone to its pre-ICS state.

Installing ICS on your Nexus S should not affect the contents of your SD card.
Please bear in mind that installing this build of ICS will completely wipe out your installed apps.


4. Install Android 4 on your Nexus S

Now, from ROM Manager, hit “Install ROM from SD Card,” and surf to the zip file on your SD card (“ics-crespo-aosp-4.0.1-v2-unsigned.zip” or similar). Select “Wipe Data and Cache” and “Wipe Dalvik Cache” from the menu and press OK (see right).

ICS will now install. Your phone will reboot, and in about 60 seconds you’ll be greeted by Ice Cream Sandwich’s phone setup screens, and then some basic tutorials.

Welcome to Ice Cream Sandwich! This build is pre-rooted, so to revert to Gingerbread you will simply have to re-install ROM Manager and restore your backup.

Google+ page for your company, product or blog, how do you get people to follow the page? The answer is the Google+ badge, a customizable widget that helps you connect your site to a Google+ page. "The Google+ badge helps you grow your audience on Google+ and show more recommendations in Google search by letting people add you to their circles and +1 your page, all without leaving your site," explains Google.

Tips using Google+ Badge Button Codes:

1. Connect your website to your Google+ Page

<link href="https://plus.google.com/PAGE_ID/" rel="publisher" />

The PAGE_ID is the long number from the URL of your Google+ page.

This has the added benefit that the page may qualify for Direct Connect and people can visit the page by typing +PAGE_NAME in Google's search box. "In addition to helping us better index your Google+ page, this snippet will help you show more personal recommendations around the web by linking your +1's on sites, your Google+ page, search and display ads," mentions Google.

2. Place this tag where you want the badge to render:

Linux is one of the most secure and stable operating systems around, and yet, its user base hasn’t really grown as everyone expected it to.

How to setup Ubuntu 11.10 in Windows7 using VirtualBox: Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows7 as dual boot is a bit tedious for beginners. So here is a cool tip to virtually install Ubuntu 11.10 in Windows7 and experience every aspect of this new release with out actually creating a separate partition for Ubuntu installation.

To virtually install Ubuntu 11.10 in Windows7, we need Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. You can download it from here. Also we need an ISO of the latest Ubuntu distribution. After installing, launch the VM VirtualBox Manager and create a new virtual machine by clicking the ‘New’ button on the top left menu.


In the VM name OS type box, type Ubuntu and click next. Accept all onscreen alerts without changing any settings and proceed to the last stage in virtual machine creation. Once done, you get the following screen:


Go to Settings Storage and add CD/DVD device as shown below to mount the ISO of Ubuntu 11.10 from your hard disk.


Click the ‘Start’ button to the right of ‘Settings’ button. Ubuntu 11.10 will now be virtually mounted on the screen and and will prompt you to either try or install.


If you click ‘Try’, it will be similar to running on a live CD. If you choose to install, the procedures are similar to what you generally do while installing Ubuntu in a new partition. Just follow the onscreen instructions without changing any settings and Ubuntu 11.10 will be installed on your Windows7 based PC.

Restart the Virtual machine and now enjoy Ubuntu 11.10 with full visual effects and its revamped Unity look.

How to Make A Google+ Page! Google opened its social network Google+ to businesses and brands on Monday as it seeks to expand the audience for its rival to Facebook. Follow us on Google plus page

Google+, which has attracted more than 40 million users since it was launched in June, was previously only open to individuals.

Creating a page brings you closer to your customers, fans, and followers on Google+.

Here’s how you can create a Google+ page for your Companies.


Step A: Google+ Create Page can found on the right side of Google+ Homepage or true this site link https://plus.google.com/u/0/pages/create

Step B: Select a category. You can choose from:

Google Plus Page category:

Local Business or Place - Hotels, restaurants, places, stores, services...
Product or Brand - Apparel, cars, electronics, financial services...
Company, Institution or Organization - Companies, organizations, institutions, non-profits...
Arts, Entertainment or Sports - Movies, TV, music, books, sports, shows...
Other - Use if your page doesn't fit in another category...

Step C: Fill in the info it asks for. This will differ depending on which category you select, but is basically just basic info. It’s probably a good idea to fill out as many of the fields as possible, because the more info you give, the more Google has to work with when it comes to associating your brand with different things. This can’t hurt when it comes to search rankings.

Step D: Customize. Add your tagline, profile photo, etc. You can add numerous photos. It shows six at the top of the profile page, so it’s probably a good idea to fill in those at the very least.

Step E: Add content. For one, you don’t want just an empty profile. Start sharing. It’s probably a good idea to share some content even before your page has any followers. This will (hopefully) make people want to follow the profile once they do come across the page. Show people that you have interesting content worth sharing. If you’re not creating the content, this is still a good place to curate relevant content as it relates to your audience or industry.

Step F: Add photos and videos. Go beyond just filling in the six photos at the top. The more you add, the more engagement there is to be had. If people can look through your photos or watch your videos, that’s more time that they’re spending with your brand – especially if these photos/videos are your own content.

Step G: Add some Circles and Follow others.

Google+ Vanity URL

Google has not introduced a vanity url yet, so your Google+ page URL will be of the form https://plus.google.com/105610494253694277320, which is kind of ugly and hard to remember. One alternative is to use a URL shortener (such as bit.ly) to create a personalised short URL for your Gplus page. For example, the URL shortener http://mte.gs/mte-gplus will lead to Make Tech Easier Google+ page. This is of course a temporary solution till Google introduces the vanity URL.

Promoting your Google+ Page

How to create Google+ badge:

1. go to https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/config.
2. Enter your Google+ page ID (the string of numbers behind the “https://plus.google.com“). Choose the size of the icon that you want to appear on your site. Lastly, enter your badge name.

Linking your website to your Google+ Page

If you have followed the instructions above to add the badge to your site, your site is already linked to your Google+ page.

If not, just paste the following code to your site, between the <head></head> tag

<link href="https://your-gplus-page-url" rel="publisher" />

Replace the “https://your-gplus-page-url” with your Google+ page URL.
