5 నిమిషాల్లో 5 గంటల బ్యాటరీ పవర్ ఇచ్చే క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0..

5 నిమిషాల్లో 5 గంటల బ్యాటరీ పవర్ ఇచ్చే క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0..


స్మార్ట్‌ఫోన్ ప్రాసెసర్లను తయారు చేసే క్వాల్‌కామ్ సంస్థ కొత్తగా స్నాప్‌డ్రాగన్ 835 ప్రాసెసర్‌ను విడుదల చేస్తున్న సంగతి తెలిసిందే. కాగా ఈ ప్రాసెసర్‌తో వచ్చే ఫోన్లు, టాబ్లెట్లు యూజర్లకు అమితమైన బ్యాటరీ బ్యాకప్‌ను ఇవ్వనున్నాయి. అదీ... కేవలం కొన్ని నిమిషాలు చార్జింగ్ పెడితే చాలు, కొన్ని గంటల బ్యాకప్ వచ్చేలా చేసే క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0 అనే టెక్నాలజీని సదరు ప్రాసెసర్లు అందివ్వనున్నాయి. క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0 ఉన్న డివైస్‌లను కేవలం 5 నిమిషాల పాటు చార్జింగ్ పెడితే చాలు, దాంతో దాదాపుగా 5 గంటల బ్యాకప్ వస్తుంది. మళ్లీ 5 గంటల తరువాతే డివైస్‌ను చార్జింగ్ పెట్టుకోవాల్సి ఉంటుంది. ఇది ప్రయాణాల్లో ఉన్నవారికి ఎంతగానో ఉపకరిస్తుంది.


ఈ క్రమంలో క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0 టెక్నాలజీ ఉన్న డివైస్‌లను కేవలం 30 నిమిషాల పాటు చార్జింగ్ పెడితే చాలు చార్జింగ్ 100 శాతం పూర్తవుతుంది. దీని వల్ల యూజర్లకు డివైస్‌లలో చార్జింగ్ అయిపోతుందన్న బెంగ ఉండదు. అంతేకాదు, క్విక్ చార్జ్ 4.0 ఉంటే డివైస్‌ల బ్యాటరీ బ్యాకప్ కూడా ఎక్కువగానే వస్తుంది. అంటే, ఎన్ని పనులు చేసుకున్నా బ్యాటరీ అంత త్వరగా అయిపోదన్నమాట. 

2017లో స్నాప్‌డ్రాగన్ 835 ప్రాసెసర్లు రానున్న నేపథ్యంలో సదరు ప్రాసెసర్లతోపాటు ఈ క్విక్‌చార్జ్ 4.0 టెక్నాలజీ కూడా కంబైన్డ్‌గా యూజర్లకు అందుబాటులోకి రానుంది. ఇప్పటి వరకు వచ్చిన స్నాప్‌డ్రాగన్ ప్రాసెసర్లు ఉన్న ఫోన్లలో క్విక్ చార్జ్ 2.0, 3.0 టెక్నాలజీలు ఉండగా, త్వరలో రానున్న దీని కొత్త వెర్షన్‌తో యూజర్లకు బ్యాటరీ బ్యాకప్ సమస్య తీరుతుందనే టెక్ నిపుణులు భావిస్తున్నారు.

సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ లోపాలు గుర్తిస్తే రూ.10 లక్షల నజరానా..!



స్మార్ట్‌ఫోన్ ప్రాసెసర్లను తయారు చేసే క్వాల్‌కామ్ కంపెనీ సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ ఇంజినీర్లకు, ఔత్సాహికులకు ఓ బంపర్ ఆఫర్‌ను ప్రకటించింది. తాము తయారు చేస్తున్న ప్రాసెసర్లు, మోడెమ్స్, పలు రకాల హార్డ్‌వేర్ ఉత్పత్తుల్లో సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ లోపాలు, ఎర్రర్స్ (బగ్స్) కనిపెట్టి చెప్పిన వారికి ఆ సంస్థ ఏకంగా రూ.10.22 లక్షలను (దాదాపుగా 15వేల డాలర్లు) ప్రైజ్ మనీ కింద అందజేయనుంది. క్వాల్‌కామ్ కంపెనీ తాజాగా చేసిన ప్రకటనలో దీని గురించిన వివరాలను వెల్లడించింది.

క్వాల్‌కామ్‌కు చెందిన ఉత్పత్తుల్లో లోపాలను గుర్తిస్తే ఆ లోపం ఎటువంటిదో (హార్డ్‌వేర్, సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్, సెక్యూరిటీ) విభాగాల వారీగా సదరు కంపెనీకి లిఖిత పూర్వకంగా తెలియజేయాల్సి ఉంటుంది.
అలా అందరు ఔత్సాహికుల నుంచి వచ్చే లేఖలను పరిశీలించాక, వారిలోంచి విజేతను ఎంపిక చేయనుంది. అనంతరం విజేతలకు పైన చెప్పిన విధంగా 15వేల డాలర్లను అందించనుంది. 

అయితే ఈ కార్యక్రమంలో ద్వితీయ, తృతీయ స్థానాల్లో నిలిచిన వారికి వరుసగా 9వేలు, 8వేలు, 5వేల డాలర్లను విభాగాల వారీగా అందించనుంది. లోపం స్థాయి మరీ తక్కువగా ఉంటే అలాంటి దాన్ని చెప్పిన వారికి కూడా 2వేలు, 1వేయి డాలర్ల చొప్పున నగదును అందించనున్నారు. సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ బగ్ బౌంటీ ప్రోగ్రామ్‌లో భాగంగా తాము ఈ కార్యక్రమం చేపడుతున్నట్టు క్వాల్‌కామ్ ప్రతినిధులు తెలియజేశారు.


Secret Hack Codes for Android Mobile Phones

Secret Hack Codes for Android Mobile Phones

Hello friends! Today I will share several secret hack codes for Android Mobile Phones. TheseAndroid codes will help you hack android mobiles in order to explore your phone’s capabilities.
Secret hack codes are usually hidden from users to prevent misuse and exploit. Android is a very new platform so there aren’t many hack codes for Androids available. Today I will share all of the hack codes of Android cellphones that I know. I have tested these codes on my Samsung Galaxy with the Android OS version 2.2. I am sure these will work on all previous versions.
 Android Secret Hack Codes for Android

Secret Hack Codes for Android Mobile Phones:

1. Complete Information About Your Phone 

 *#*#4636#*#*
 This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows the following 4 menus on the screen:
  • Phone information
  • Battery information (How to maximize or boost battery life in android phones)
  • Battery history
  • Usage statistics

2. Factory data reset

*#*#7780#*#*
This code can be used for a factory data reset. It’ll remove the following things:
  • Google account settings stored in your phone
  • System and application data and settings
  • Downloaded applications
It will NOT remove:
  • Current system software and bundled application
  • SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.
Note: Once you give this code, you will get a prompt screen asking you to click on the “Reset phone” button, giving you the chance to cancel your operation.

3. Format Android Phone

  *2767*3855#
Think before you input this code. This code is used for factory formatting. It will remove all files and settings, including the internal memory storage. It will also reinstall the phone firmware.
Note: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone.

4. Phone Camera Update

This code is used to get information about phone camera. It shows following 4 menus:

WARNING: NEVER use the first option. Your phone camera will stop working and you will need to take your phone to a service center to reinstall camera firmware.

5. End Call/Power

 
*#*#7594#*#*
This one is my favorite. This code can be used to change the action of the “End Call/Power” button. Be default, if you hold the button down for a long time, it shows a screen asking you to select between silent mode, airplane mode, and power off.
Using this code, you can enable this button to power off without having to select an option, saving you some time.

6. File Copy for Creating Backup

How to Make a Free Website

  Plenty of people have their own website. So how can you join in on the fun, and maybe even make some money while doing it? A free website-making service will allow you to create a website quickly and have it live on the web in just a few minutes.





  1.Ask yourself what kind of website you want to have. The needs of your website will dictate what kind of hosting service you should be looking for. If you intend to do business through your website, you’ll need to make sure that the host supports online stores. If you want to create a wiki, there are a variety of free wiki hosts that specialize in creating and maintaining wikis. If you want a blog, blogging sites can get you set up in just a few minutes.



2
Find a free online website-building service. There are a lot of options out there; some great, some poor, some cheap, some expensive; so it's worth spending some time comparing features. Most offer limited services for free sites and typically place advertisements on your site. Your website will most likely also be a subdomain of the host site instead of its own site (e.g. yoursite.host.com instead of yoursite.com). Some of the more popular free hosting sites include:
  • Wordpress; great for blogs, small to medium-sized websites of all kinds
  • Drupal; great for medium to large-sized websites
  • Webs
  • Angelfire
  • Google Sites
  • Webnode
  • Wix
  • Wikia; great for wikis

3
Compare service features. Each host will offer different services at the free level. Most hosts have a limit on how much data you can upload for your webpage, and this is typically very limited. This means that if you intend to have a media-rich site with images and video, you may not be able to effectively use a free site.
  • Different free hosts have different policies regarding creating online stores. If you intend to create an e-commerce website, ensure that the service you pick can adequately support your goals.
  • Most free hosts have low bandwidth limits as well. This means they don’t work very well as file hosts, as downloading files can quickly max your data allowance.
  • Check to see if the host allows you to upload your own websites. Most free services have web page creation tools and don’t allow you to upload your own custom code. This works for most basic needs, but if you want to be able to create your own site, make sure that the host allows it.
4
Choose a theme that suits you or your business. Browse through the available pre-made themes (sometimes called 'templates' or 'styles'); you can use the software's own available themes, as well as browse theme-selling marketplace websites like Theme Forrest.
  • Many hosts have specialized designs for their sites that help maintain a brand identity with that host. Find the design that fits your website’s needs the most.
5
Consider how much it will cost you. Even if the service is for free, the business has to make money to provide it to you; it might use adverts, or it might try to entice you to upgrade to get more features, which might come at a significant monthly cost. Whichever one you choose, make sure you know how much it might cost in the future if you decide to upgrade to get more features.


1
Sign up for an account. All free website hosts will require that you create an account. Depending on the service, you may not need to add any billing information unless you plan on upgrading to a paid account.

2
Choose and purchase a suitable available domain name. Free websites typically allow you to create a subdomain on the host’s domain for free, and offer regular domains for a fee. Some free hosts allow you to connect a domain you already own to their free host.
  • You can buy top-level domain names (www.yoursitename.com) for yearly fees, and the connect that domain name to your free site. Be sure to check that your service allows this. Domain registration companies include GoDaddy, Register.com, Domain.com, Dyn.com, and many more.

3
Design your website. Almost all free website hosts have web site construction programs available through their website. These programs allow you to choose from pre-made themes, and some allow you to customize elements such as CSS.
  • Web page construction programs allow you to add your text and images with minimal fuss and have a functioning website up in a very short amount of time. Many let you simply drag and drop images into the site. Most require little to no coding experience.
  • Most free websites provide the tools to create your website online, without the need to download any editing programs. Since you are creating the site through their service, you won’t need to worry about using FTP programs and cPanel to upload content to your site.
  • Most services offer a variety of tutorials to help get your site up and running as quickly as possible.
  • If your web host allow it, you can upload your own HTML files to truly create your own custom website. To learn more about HTML coding, check out this guide. If you want to upload your own site, you will need to use an FTP program in order to access the server.
4
Add valuable content. You might need to tell your audience what you do or sell, why you do it (the story behind the business), how to contact you, and so on. Also plan ahead for fresh new content you'd like to add in the future.

5
Publish your site. Once you are happy with the layout and content of your site, it’s time to open up for business! If you have a blog or announcement area, it’s a good idea to create a welcome/introduction post, explaining the purpose of the site and introducing yourself. This will help make readers feel more welcome when they visit the site, and give them a quick breakdown of what the site is for.


1
Continue to create content. Websites that consistently put out new and useful content will get visited much more often than sites that stagnate. Do your best to produce engaging content that brings the reader back for more. Stick to an update schedule so readers can get used to when new content will be available.
  • The number one way to increase traffic to your site is to consistently create good, engaging, original content. This will drive more viewers your way, and help to retain the viewers you already have.
2
To generate a passive income, place advertising on your site. Check with your host to see if this is allowed, because many free hosts do not support ad revenue going to you when you are using free services. Placing ads on your site can help you monetize it, but may also deter people from reading your content if the ads are too intrusive.

3
Market your site. Once you have a complete website and are adding content on a regular basis, you can start advertising your site. You can pay to have your site advertised on other websites through programs like Google AdSense, or you can promote your site on your own through social media such as Facebook or Twitter.

4
Search engine-optimise (SEO) your website. You can start by submitting your site to search engines. Search engines crawl the web, matching content on websites with users’ searches. To really start attracting large numbers of people to your site, you’ll want to submit it to all the major search engines. The process varies depending on the search engine, but almost all will require you to create a sitemap of your website first.
  • For Google, you can choose to just submit your site’s URL, or you can submit the entire sitemap for more optimized searches.
  • For Yahoo! Bing, you can submit just the URL, or submit your sitemap in a variety of different ways. Sitemaps should be in the XML format.

WhatsApp tips and tricks: master messaging

WhatsApp tips and tricks: master messaging


    WhatsApp needs no introduction. It's the world's most popular instant messaging service, and we love it. As a show of appreciation for WhatsApp, we've decided to chalk up a list of WhatsApp tips and tricks to help AndroidPIT readers get the most out of it.

1. Stop WhatsApp images appearing in your camera roll

If your friends send you loads of stupid pictures on WhatsApp, and you don't want them mixed in with all your amazing photos, it is possible to keep WhatsApp images separate so they don't appear in your camera roll.
  • Download a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer
  • Navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Media
  • Enter the folder you don't want shared (in this case, WhatsApp Images)
  • Tap the plus button at the bottom of the screen
  • Name the new folder .nomedia
That should stop any media in that folder from showing up in your camera roll.

2. Lock WhatsApp

If you're keen to keep your WhatsApp private, you can use any number of security apps to set a passcode for the app. AppLock is a popular choice.

3. Disable media auto-download

If you're running low on mobile data, it might be worth turning of the automatic download of media in WhatsApp, at least until you hit the monthly reset.

To do this, head to Settings > Data usage. In this menu, ensure you untick the boxes in both When using mobile data and When roaming
whatsapp tips and tricks mobile data

4. Switch your WhatsApp chat history between phones

An update that allows Google Drive backups should now have rolled out to all users. This is far and away the easiest method of moving your chat and media history between devices.
However, if for any reason you need to move your WhatsApp history over to a new device without using Google Drive, it's still a pretty painless procedure. All you need is a microSD card and a few minutes to spare.
  • Insert the microSD card into the device that has WhatsApp on it
  • In WhatsApp, go to Settings > Chats > Chat backup
  • Remove the SD card and place it into your other device
  • Install WhatsApp on the other device
  • WhatsApp should detect the backup and prompt you to restore it, which you should do
If you need to move the backup, use a file explorer to find '/sdcard/WhatsApp' and move it to the correct folder.

5. How to get WhatsApp on your tablet

If you're looking to get the WhatsApp experience on a larger screen, you can follow our useful guide on how to get WhatsApp on tablet.

6. How to get WhatsApp on your PC

By far the most convenient way to get WhatsApp access on your PC is to simply use the official web client. Open it up, and then you will be prompted to scan a QR code. To do this, open WhatsApp on your smartphone, hit the trio of dots in the upper-right corner, and select WhatsApp Web.
The WhatsApp web client acts as a mirror of your device, meaning you will only receive messages so long as your smartphone is switched on and connected to the internet.

7. Download and install the latest WhatsApp APK

First, head to Settings > Security > Unknown sources and ensure the box is checked.
The, on your smartphone browser either head to the WhatsApp website or APK Mirror and download the latest APK (APK Mirror is usually ahead of the WhatsApp website). Once the file's downloaded, open it to install the latest WhatsApp APK.

8. How to make WhatsApp video calls

The addition of voice calls to WhatsApp is highly anticipated and looks likely to arrive very, very soon. You can follow our updates on this and alternative solutions you can try in the meantime here:

9. Use WhatsApp on two devices at once

You can easily use WhatsApp without a SIM card or on two devices at the same time simply by using the web client. But this means you have to remain connected to the internet on your primary device, and connection issues are not uncommon.
The second method is more laborious but also better in the long run.
To do this, both the devices you want to use will need to be rooted. Download and install Titanium Backup root and use it to perform a full backup of WhatsApp, including root permissions. Once this is done, use a file manager to navigate to the folder that Titanium Backup created containing the three files starting with com.whatsapp. Copy this folder onto the internal memory of your second device.

Now, on the second device, where you just copied the files to, download and install WhatsApp. Do not open WhatsApp yet. First, download and install Titanium Backup root again. Open Titanium Backup and grant it root permission. Close the warning and select Backup / restore. Restore using the WhatsApp folder that you copied to the device earlier.
Your second device is now set up with a clone of the original app, so it is already verified. The only downside is that only one of the devices will receive notifications, the one from which you sent the last message.

10. Get desktop notifications for WhatsApp chats

You'll need the WhatsApp Web Chrome extension to get WhatsApp desktop notifications. Then, all you need to do is install a simple add-on called WAToolkit.
After installing it, you will see a new icon in your browser toolbar. Hover your cursor over it to see the most recently received message, or right click for more options. You'll also notice the WAToolkit options button in your WhatsApp Web tab. The best part? WAToolkit will notify you of messages on your desktop even when Chrome itself isn’t running.
  • Install WhatsApp Web on PC
  • In the WhatsApp Web browser window, go to Options > Notifications and ensure that Desktop Alerts is ticked
  • Install the Chrome browser extension WAToolkit
  • Make sure the background notifications box is ticked, like in the image below
whatsapp web tips 3

11. Recover deleted WhatsApp messages

By default, WhatsApp backs up your messages every day at 4am. This means that if you've deleted any messages since then, but before the next auto-backup, you can recover them. To do this:
  • Uninstall WhatsApp from your device (Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Uninstall)
  • Reinstall WhatsApp.
  • Type your phone number into WhatsApp, then it should notify you that it's found a backup of your chats
  • Tap Restore to get your deleted messages back
If you want to know how to recover other deleted messages on your phone, hit the link.

12. Hide 'Last seen', profile photo and status

Getting thrown into a big group chat filled with party guests and people you don't know can be bewildering. Suddenly, your profile picture is staring back at a chatroom full of strangers, who can also see your status and when you're reading messages. If I wanted a whole flock of strangers ogling and judging a photo of me, I'd have gone on Tinder.
Here's how to have better control over who sees this information on WhatsApp:
  • Tap the Options icon at the top right of WhatsApp
  • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy
  • Go through the Last seen, Profile photo, and Status options, then set their visibility to 'Everyone', 'My contacts' or 'Nobody', depending on how much privacy you want

13. Know when you've been blocked

There are four ways to suss out whether someone has blocked you on WhatsApp. Each sign is largely meaningless by itself, but together they form a solid reason to believe that your friend doesn't want to be your friend.
Take note that WhatsApp has deliberately made it difficult to tell whether someone has blocked you or not, in order to maintain users' privacy. There's always an outlying chance that you're just being paranoid, even when all four of the below points apply.

Check the 'last seen' time

A contact's 'last seen' time appears in the top bar right under their name. If there's no information about when they were last online, this could be a bad sign. It doesn't necessarily mean that they've blocked you – it is possible to stop this information appearing without blocking someone. Your friend might just value their privacy, so don't go burning bridges just yet. Read on.

Check the double check

Check marks are WhatsApp's way of compounding your obsessive streak by ensuring that you know what's going on on the other end of the line.
The first check mark means that your message has been sent. When the second one appears, your message has been received by the recipient's phone. This doesn’t mean that the person has read your message, just that it is on their phone; when those check marks turn blue, that's when they have seen the message. If you see the check marks turn blue, they haven't blocked you, and everything is fine. Take a deep breath.
If your messages never get beyond that single, sad gray tick, you might have been blocked.
There's a vague chance they still love you, though, surely? Time to keep digging.

Do your calls go through?

Another indicator that your friend hates you is that all those desperate WhatsApp calls you make never go through.
Again, maybe their phone is broken, maybe they've changed their number, etc, etc, but if this one is true and the two signs above it are, too – well, thing's aren't looking good, are they?

Has their picture or profile changed?

If you notice that a contact hasn’t updated or changed their profile in a while, or they've had the same picture for months, this could mean that they’ve blocked you. Or that they just never update their profile. Maybe everything is fine.
Let's go a step further and check from a different account, meaning from a mutual friend’s smartphone. If you see here that your estranged friend's profile information and picture have changed, then we're sorry to break it you, but your friend has blocked you and, given how strangely you've been acting, with good reason.

Bonus method: Ask them

The final, and ultimate, way of knowing is to ask them. If they say yes, then they have blocked you. If they make up a terrible excuse, they have blocked you. But if the reason why they never respond to you seems plausible and they invite you to hang out, everything is OK. For now.

14. Mute annoying WhatsApp group chats

We've all been in that position where we've somehow been dragged into a group chat that we either didn't really want to be in in the first place or just don't want to receive notifications from every couple of minutes.
Rather than just leave the chat, which may offend some people, you can simply mute the chat so you stop receiving notifications from it.
  • In WhatsApp, tap the Chats tab
  • Tap the group you want to mute
  • With the group open, tap the Options icon at the top right
  • Tap Mute, then select the amount of time you want to mute the group for. You can also untick the Show notifications box so that you never hear from the group again until you decide otherwise

15. Create a home screen shortcut for your favorite chats

Do you have certain friends with whom you have constant stream-of-consciousness conversations, where you're non-stop WhatsApp'ing all day, every day?
If so, then you can create a shortcut icon to those conversations, which will appear on your Android home screen. This means you can jump straight into chats with your BFFs and important groups.
  • In WhatsApp, tap the Chats tab.
  • Tap and hold the conversation you want to create a shortcut for.
  • When the list of options appears, tap Add conversation shortcut
  • A shortcut displaying your contact's profile picture will now appear on your home screen. Tap it to jump straight in and start chatting to them.

16. Add a widget to your lock screen

WhatsApp widget on stock Android

If your device is running Android 4.2-4.4 KitKat or a custom ROM that supports lock screen widgets, you can quickly and easily add a custom WhatsApp widget to your lock screen.
Unfortunately, Android 5.0 Lollipop killed lock screen widgets and replaced them with heads up notifications that also work on the lock screen.

Best apps for making money on Android

When you look at your phone, you probably think about spending money rather than making it. Your handset almost certainly cost you a pretty penny, whether in up-front cost or on-going monthly payments. Thankfully there are plenty of apps to be found in the Google Play store which can help you recoup some of the costs. This is how to make money with Android apps.

Google Opinion Rewards

It may come as little surprise to learn that Google has an app of its own that you can use to make money. With Google Opinion Rewards you earn Google Play credit by completing surveys. You'll receive a notification whenever a new survey is available, and you just need to spend a few moments answering a series of questions – nothing too taxing.
Once you've completed a survey, you earn Google Play Store credit that you can use to buy apps, music and other things. Many of the surveys have a deadline for completion, so make sure you don’t wait too long to complete them.
