Android Security Apps

Apps . Thanks to the fact that the Android operating system allows for broader multitasking than that other popular smartphone OS , Android devices are able to support a wide range of mobile security functionality that runs in the background on an ongoing basis, such as automated backups and virus scanning. Still, it’s worth keeping in mind that the most essential security precautions for your Android device, like password-protecting the device itself and setting it to auto-lock after a specified period of time, don’t require an app – both of those features can be accessed within Settings -> Location & Security. And with the arrival of Android 2.2 , Android devices now offer several unlock options, including a numeric PIN, a password or a graphical pattern (the last of which was recently found to be easily compromised, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania). If you want to take your device’s password protection one step further, apps like App P

HOW TO DETECT A BUG ON CELL PHONE

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you, right? In a society that has shown an increasing disdain for privacy, the threat of electronic surveillance is a rare, but very real, possibility. Unfortunately, the spy game is one into which powerful parties have put decades of research and millions of dollars. This means that there is no cure-all. There are countermeasures and countermeasures to the countermeasure. Layer upon layer of deceit and technology stand between the party conducting surveillance and the party being surveilled. Therefore any steps toward uncovering a listening device can only begin with a caveat: If they are truly determined to hear you, you will probably never know. However, that shouldn't stop anyone from trying. A few steps can help you determine whether or not your home is under surveillance. Instructions 1. Using headphones, go slowly through your radio dial and listen for uniform distortion. Bleeps or recurring

windows 7 system restore

Why Use System Restore? After you install software it makes changes to the registry or delete files, and sometimes you may even modify some settings knowingly or unknowingly. It is possible that the system may start crashing or become unstable. If that happens you can undo all this changes and restore the system to earlier time by using System Restore Utility. What does System restore do? It is like undo.It puts your computer back to a previous state of use that was available before you had problems. It does this by periodically taking a snapshot of your system. These snapshots are called restore points. Restores points are created when you make any significant changes, like adding new applications or installing a driver. But you can also manually create restore points. The upshot is that these Restore points can help you restore the whole system back to a previous post. Problems with System Restore in Previous Versions of Windows Both XP and Vista had similar issues with

How to control the page numbering in a Word document

Word's page numbering scheme isn't directly obvious but it isn't needlessly complex, either. Indirect might be a good term for it. Once you understand how it works, all sorts of possibilities open up. Unfortunately, the built-in tools that simplify the insertion of page numbers also happen to make it more difficult to tell what's really going on. So, for the moment, forget everything you've learned or think you know about page numbers. Let's start at the beginning, since it won't take too long . . . First some background, consisting of four big ideas: Big Idea #1 A new blank document consists of a single section. Each time you insert a Section Break into the document, the document gains a section. In other words, if you create a new blank document, then choose Break on the Insert menu and select a Next Page Section Break, the document will thereafter consist of two sections: Material from the start of the document up through and including the b

Getting Your Laptop Card Reader to Read 4GB SD Cards

It's interesting to notice that although this little trick was initially designed to get a HP notebook to read the card, it works perfectly well with other brands as well and the proof is that I've used it ona Vaio. This is because there are many units out there incorporating a Texas Instruments card reader. The first step of this operation is to download the driver. Here's the link to Softpedia's drivers database or you can go directly to HP . The second thing you need to do is to remove the existing Texas Instrument driver using Windows add/remove. The OS might want you to reboot, but don't click yes. Now it's time to run the installer previously downloaded. You now have to go to the location (C:SWSetupSP33416BaseprogramfilesTexas Instruments IncTIPCI) with all the extracted files and to right click on the file tifm21.inf; choose install. Before going any further, you might want to try and insert the 4GB card into the reader; sometimes it works jus

Upload Your DSi Photos Directly to Facebook

if you've got a European, Australian or Japanese DSi, you can now go to the settings menu or the DSi Shop to be presented with a system update - Once you've done this, the photo album will get a new feature. After taking a picture, there will be a new button when looking at it in your photo album. Marked with a white f in a blue square, it's quite obvious what this does - It lets you send your picture directly to Facebook, that is, if you've got a Facebook account! The first time you try this feature you'll be asked to enter your Facebook login e-mail and password, but after that you're free to upload as many pictures as you want. Once you've uploaded a picture, a new photo album will be created on your Facebook account, titled "Photos from Nintendo DSi," which will have every picture you upload in the future. Simple and quick to use! Earn money by inviting-1$ per referral link visit.

NTFS mount denied in ubuntu

Install the package 'ntfsprogs' - it's in the Ubuntu repositories. That will install a number of ntfs command line utilities. One of them is ntfsfix. If you run this it might fix the filesystem, but you may also need to run chkdsk from Windows. See 'man ntfsfix': ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.

very Fast Hard Drive Performance

In this article, I review various hard drives (HDDs) and various hard drive configurations, particularly RAID 0 configurations for attaining top performance and data transfer speeds with inexpensive hardware. Furthermore, some drive controllers will be reviewed and compared. You may be thinking how you can improve the performance of your own desktop, workstation, or small business server? Or, you may be considering how you can improve the performance of your current hard drives. You may be surprised that you can improve performance without spending a fortune. First, you may like to review what hard drives and drive controllers you currently have. List the drives, make, model number, and the same for the drive controller. Next, you can search via Google or others search sites and find the specification details of those particular drives, such as some of the more important being interface type (IDE, SATA), rotatio

Difference between .LOG file and .TXT file

Files with ".log" and ".txt" extensions are both plain text files. This means they can both be viewed with a standard text editor like Notepad for Windows or TextEdit for Mac OS X. The difference between the two file types is that .LOG files are typically generated automatically, while .TXT files are created by the user. For example, when a software installer is run, it may create a log file that contains a log of files that were installed. Log files typically have one entry per line, which includes information such as the filename , the action (created, moved, deleted, etc.), and the location of the file. Standard text files, on the other hand, are typically created in a word processor by a user. For example, if you create a new file with Notepad, it saves the file with a ".txt" extension. Similarly if a Mac user creates a plain text file with TextEdit, the file is saved with a ".txt" extension. Since log files are a type of tex

Run android apps on windows

There’s nothing new about virtualization software, per se, but BlueStacks might be worth checking out. It brings the Android operating system to Windows-based computers via a virtualization layer, much like how you can run Windows “inside” your Mac using Parallels. Why, exactly, you’d want to run Android “inside” your Windows PC, I’m not exactly sure, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with giving it a go . Like I said, it’s not too hard to understand what’s going on here. BlueStacks gives you the ability to launch Android like you’d launch any other Windows application; it’s not a dual-boot solution. Once it’s up and running, your BlueStack’d Android behaves just another other Android experience. The idea, I suppose, is to give you the ability to run Android apps on your Windows PC without having to have an Android mobile device (or tablet). Exactly what those apps would be is my question: what’s available on Android that you can’t a Windows equivalent? I’m all ears

How do I get a English audio to put into a Japanese MKV file

Open the file in virtualdubmod . Go to the stream section and disable both audio streams. (by the way what format are they ?)
