Cheapest Android Smartphone That Costs Less Than 10$

It sounds crazy on this but this is true, Android powered smartphone was spotted to be sold just by 9.82$ in  Walmart's website. The phone named  TracFone LG Prepaid Lucky LG16, by LG company seems to be the cheapest smartphone in the world which its price is less than 10$. yeah! Thats real true and the phone is out of stock
Cheapest Android Smartphone That Costs Less Than 10$
Specs-wise, the handset is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU and sports a 3.8-inch display. It comes with 4GB internal memory (that can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card) and a 3MP camera, offers 3G and Bluetooth (v4.0) capabilities, and runs Android 4.4 (KitKat) out-of-the-box.
Those specs might not sound impressive, but considering the price tag attached to them, the smartphone does look like - as the sole reviewer says - "a steal."

all about Standby time [mobile terms]

all about standby time

Standby time is referred as the capacity of phone's battery that can manage to keep the phone in the state of being connected to the GSM() network without being in in use either by receiving or making calls and texts as well. 
This is also determined as the longest time taken by a phone for a full charged battery to get discharged 

Researchers have practically found that The stand-by time is highly dependent on the cellular network environment, such as the distance to the closest GSM cell tower (base station). Moving the phone (as in a vehicle) also negatively affects battery life.

Manufacturers measure talk time in controlled conditions and the quoted numbers are rarely reached in real-life scenarios. These numbers are best used as reference when comparing phones from the same manufacturer because battery life measurement methodology will probably vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Quite often you will find the Stand-by time field in the specification pages of new phones empty as the manufacturers sometimes fail to disclose the info at the official announcement. Later on when the handset hits the market, the figures are usually revealed and accordingly, we take the care to add them to the database.
It is worth to know that, standby time determines battery life of your phone

Google's algorithm; 5 important things to know about Mobilegeddon

Google's search algorithm which was done on 21 april 2015 is the new Google mission which aim to boost websitses performances through Smartpone users. Those websites which are mobile friendly will be favoured and ranked higher than non mobile friendly blogs.This program of Google algorithm,you can call it 'Mobilegeddon' was stated so just after Google reviews showed that, most of internet users about 50% use Smartphones. 

Google's algorithm; 5 important things to know about Mobilegeddon

Its very true that,websites which are not going to be Custom/responsive or mobile friendly are real going to lose their power to google bots which are used in website ranking 

Below are the important things you need to know about Google changes

1 Google's search results will only be impacted to smartphones and not on desktop and tablets 

2. Website operators had two months to prepare. Usually, Google doesn't pre-announce algorithm tweaks. But Mobilegeddon could have such a dramatic impact on mobile search results that Google opted to give businesses time to get ready.

In February, the search company released a "mobile-friendly" test, which allows websites to see whether their sites are ready for the algorithm tweak. Mobile websites with unplayable videos, slow mobile pages and blocked image files will get knocked down a peg.

3. Algorithm changes can be nasty. Many businesses rely heavily on Google to send traffic to their websites. Google controls two-thirds of the U.S. search market, and when Google changes its code, companies have to scramble to relearn how to optimize their sites for Google's search.


The stakes are high. The top spot on a search page typically attracts 20% to 30% of the page's clicks, according to Adam Bunn, SEO director of digital marketing agency Greenlight. After that comes an enormous tail-off: Positions two to three generate 5% to 10% of the clicks, and links below that receive less than 1% of users' attention.

In 2011, a major Google algorithm change designed to promote high-quality content sent some companies into financial ruin. Two weeks after the changes, Mahalo.com laid off 10% of its workforce thanks to what CEO Jason Calacanis called "a significant dip in our traffic and revenue."

4. Websites can adjust on the fly. Unlike previous algorithm tweaks, websites can upgrade their "mobile-friendliness" at any time to appear higher in Google's search results -- it doesn't have to be done on Tuesday.


Google also said that the algorithm tweaks will be rolled out over the course of a few weeks, so the changes might not immediately be noticeable anyway.

5. Some mobile-unfriendly sites could still get favorable search placement. Google's algorithm judges sites based on numerous criteria, of which mobile-friendlness is just one. The company's aim is to provide the most relevant results, even if it's to a site that isn't optimized for mobile

Easy way to delete many Apps in Apple iOS 8 by a single click


Here’s how you can delete multiple apps at once on iOS 8 running on your iPhone.
This is the best among those methods of deleting apps only by one click in your iPhone or iPads especially for those which has been upgraded to to iOS 8.
The method we are going to use is so called MultiDelete which you can download it from BigBoss repo in Cydia 

In case you haven’t figured it out yet though, you’ll need to have a jailbroken device forMultiDelete to work, but that’s a small price to pay. In fact, while we are on the subject of price, it’s worth pointing out that MultiDelete is free to download from the Cydia store.

ios multidelete

Once installed, the only configuration that comes with MultiDelete is a switch that enables and disables the tweak completely. That’s not a bad thing though, because the tweak doesn’t need a raft of options in order to be useful. In fact, using it is just a case of tapping and holding an app until they all start wriggling. Now, tapping multiple apps will see a cross appear above them. Tapping the default cross that appears to one corner of the app icons will prompt the user to confirm that they want multiple apps to be deleted and that’s it. Everything that was selected is gone, and with the minimum of fuss.

It really doesn’t get much simpler than that, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Passcode of jailbroken iPhone can be brute-forced byTransLock utility for iOS

Image result for TransLock-2015


IMAGE RESULT FOR TransLock

Well known iOS hacker Majd Alfhaily, with the Twitter name freemanrepo, has created a brute-force utility tool for iOS called TransLock that can brute-force the passcode of a jailbroken iPhone quite fast.

Recently, security firm MDSec managed to obtain information about a device known as IP Box, used in the phone repair markets to brute-force the iOS lock screen. The IP Box works by stimulating the PIN entry over the USB connection and subsequently brute-force every possible PIN combination to unlock the iPhone secured with a passcode.

A noteworthy feature of this is it works even after the "Erase data after 10 attempts" configuration setting is enabled. According to the firm, the IP Box can bypass this restriction by connecting directly to the iPhone's power source and aggressively cutting the power after each failed PIN attempt.

On the negative side, each PIN takes about 40 seconds, which means it would take up to 111 hours to brute-force a 4-digit PIN. The firm is confirmed to have tested this attack on an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.

Meanwhile, Majd Alfhaily managed to replicate the attack, while covering the entire process without using hardware hacks. But all you need is a jailbroken iOS device to gain unsigned code execution privilege.

On the contrary, Majd's TransLock tool would only take 14 hours to try all the possible passcode combinations from 0000 up to 9999. This is possible since he has coded the TransLock tool in such a way that the device does not disable the passcode after 10 failed attempts and he was able to try a PIN every five seconds, as opposed to IP Box, wherein each PIN takes about 40 seconds.

You can find TransLock utility here.

Although the TransLock utility for iOS is quite interesting, that does not mean that the iPhone is vulnerable to hacking. 
Check out the following points.
Non-jailbroken phones are not vulnerable to this hack.
A user needs to have physical access to your device to perform this hack.
Also, a complex passcode would increase the security of your iPhone.

BEST 5 GAMES FOR WINDOWS PHONE 2015 [DOWNLOAD]

These are the best five Games for Windows phone which are mostly downloaded.
The 5 best Windows Phone games right now
1. Plants vs. Zombies

 . Plants vs. Zombies


Traditional tower defense games often star fantasy knights, sci-fi warriors, or military men. How about some cartoon foliage and their undead opponents instead? Plants vs. Zombies is a casual classic and one of the best genre entries around, putting an accessible spin on the action by leaving you in charge of powered-up plants trying to protect a suburban home. It's silly, but serious fun for sure.

Stuff says ✭✭✭✭✭ Price £1.99

Download Plants vs. Zombies here

2. Asphalt 8: Airborne

Asphalt 8: Airborne


For insane speed, impressive graphics, and no entry fee whatsoever, there's no better mobile option than Gameloft's Asphalt 8: Airborne, easily the most accomplished entry in what had previously been a serviceable series. By amping up the action and excitement, not to mention adding a whole lot of graphical polish, Asphalt 8 makes it possible to enjoy arcade-style racing thrills wherever you are.

Stuff says ✭✭✭✭✭ Price: £free

Download Asphalt 8: Airborne here

-Asphalt 8: Airborne


The recent Rayman console side-scrollers are superb, but they wouldn't be a good fit for mobile. So rather than tarnish a great thing, Ubisoft built a touch-centric affair using the same stunning graphics but with influence from the auto-runner genre. Rayman Jungle Run was a good start, but follow-up Fiesta Run is truly excellent, delivering tense action, real challenge, and an extensive array of stages to clear.

Stuff says ✭✭✭✭✭ Price £1.69

4. Halo Spartan Assault

Halo Spartan Assault


No, this isn't the same first-person experience that's been selling Xbox consoles for more than a decade, but the series' trademark aesthetic transfers surprisingly well to this top-down shooter. Across a couple of dozen bite-sized stages, you'll blast familiar Covenant creatures, command an array of vehicles, and soak in the great sci-fi universe, albeit in a different kind of format. It's surprisingly strong.

Stuff says ✭✭✭✭✩ Price £3.49

Download Halo Spartan Assault here
5 GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS

Halo Spartan Assault


One of the greatest and most expansive open-world action games of all time is available on Windows Phone, and even a decade later, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is still a blast. Set in the early '90s in Los Angeles, San Andreas finds you navigating a world of gang wars and strife as you cruise the city, explore CJ's story, and cause mayhem. It's not perfect with touch controls, but still plenty fun.

How to use WhatsApp with no phone number

Image result for whatsapp without PHONE number

Use WhatsApp Without Your Mobile Number

this method is to help you to use whatsapp without your mobile number for number of reasons like not being in need of making your number to be revealed to unknown people or for whatever the reason....

HERE IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

1 If you are already using WhatsApp, uninstall it from your device completely. You can keep the SD card files i.e. the images if you want. Download and install it again.

2 Now when you open WhatsApp it’ll ask you to verify your phone number. It automatically sends a verification message to its server. But if this happens your number gets registered with them. So block your message service. You can simply put your phone on flight mode so that all network connections are disabled. You can alternatively change the message center number. Remember the old one of course.

3 It’ll ask you to choose an alternate method to verify. Choose ‘Verify through SMS’ and give your email address. Click on ‘Send’ and without waiting even for a second click on ‘Cancel’. This terminates the authorization process.

4 Now you have to spoof that message. You can try this for Android and Fake-a-Message for iOS.

5 Go to your Outbox -> Copy the message details to spoofer app -> Send it to spoofed verification.

6 Use the following details.
To: +447900347295
From: +(Country code)(mobile number)
Message: Your email address

7 A message will be sent through that spoofed number. You can use this number to connect with your friends.

I don’t know if you should be trying this or not. I don’t find it useful anyway. It’s always a good idea to use your real phone number

This is how yoy can set Priority mode on your Android Lollipop


Priority mode

This is essentially Google's Do Not Disturb mode and is accessed by clicking your volume up or down button. Under the slider you have three options to choose from: None, Priority and All. Two of them are self-explanatory while the middle one allows you to customise which notifications are allowed. For example you can allow only texts and calls (even starred contacts only). You can also select automatic 'down time' such as when you're in bed.

How to Pin something to your Android 5.0 Lollipop device's screen.


Pin something to your device's screen.

Android 5,0 Pinning Lollipop
We've all been there: Someone you know needs to borrow your phone "for a quick sec" to make a call or look something up online. Or maybe you want to hand your device over to the little one so she can play a game while the grown-ups talk. A new Lollipop feature called Screen Pinning is designed to let you do those types of things without any hassle -- and without having to worry about the person getting into something they shouldn't.

Take a moment now to enable it: Go into the main system settings, select "Security," scroll down to "Screen Pinning," and set it to "On."

Then take it for a test run: Tap the Recent Apps key (the square to the right of the Home key) and scroll upward. You'll see a pushpin icon on the most recent app or process you've had open. Tap it and then confirm that you want to pin that process.


Your device is now locked to that one process -- so if you hand it off to anyone, it's the only thing they'll be able to use. No returning to the home screen, no seeing notifications, no opening up anything else on the device.

To exit the pinned mode, press the Back and Recent Apps (apparently also now known as "Overview") buttons at the same time. If you have a PIN, pattern, or password set -- which you should if you want this feature to have much meaning -- you'll need to enter it in order to return the device to its normal state.

Google New Tablet For The Fight against Ebola

google tablet for fight against ebola



JAY ACHAR WAS treating Ebola patients at a makeshift hospital in Sierra Leone, and he needed more time.

With temperatures rising to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, Achar could stay inside for only about an hour at a time. “The suit doesn’t let your skin breathe. It can’t,” he says. “You get very, very hot.” And even while inside, so much of his time was spent not treating the patients, but merely recording their medical information—a tedious but necessary part of containing an epidemic that has now claimed an estimated 10,000 lives. Due to the risk of contamination, he would take notes on paper, walk the paper to the edge of the enclosure, shout the information to someone on the other side of a fence, and later destroy the paper. “The paper can’t come out of the high-risk zone,” he says.

Looking for a better way, he phoned Ivan Gayton, a colleague at the MSF home office in London. Gayton calls himself a logistician. He helps the organization get stuff done. In 2010, he tracked down someone at Google who could help him use its Google Earth service to map the locations of patients during a cholera epidemic in Haiti. As part of its charitable arm,Google.org, the tech giant runs a “crisis response team” that does stuff like this. So, after talking to Achar, Gayton phoned Google again, and the company responded with a new piece of tech: a computer tablet that could replace those paper notes and all that shouting over the fence.
The Tablet You Dunk in Chlorine

Over the next few months, drawing on employees from across the company, Google helped build a specialized Android tablet where Achar and other doctors could record medical info from inside the high-risk zone and then send it wirelessly to servers on the outside. Here in everyday America, a wireless tablet may seem like basic technology. But in the middle of an Ebola epidemic in West Africa, which offers limited internet and other tech infrastructure, it’s not.

The tablet is encased in polycarbonate, so that it can be dipped in chlorine and removed from the facility, and the server runs on battery power. “There was a real need for this,” says Dr. Eric D. Perakslis, part of the department of biomedical informatics at the Harvard Medical School, who has closely followed the project. “It’s very impressive, and it’s unique.”

The system is now used by Achar and other doctors in West Africa, where patients are still being treated. During the testing phase, the server ran off a motorcycle battery, but now it includes its own lithium ion batteries, much like those in your cell phone, which can charge via a portable generator. Then, inside the high-risk zone, Archar can not only wirelessly send data over the fence, but also readily access information he didn’t have before, including a patient’s latest blood test results. Plus, after dipping the thing in chlorine for ten minutes, he can take it outside the zone and continue working with it after removing his moon suit.

Yes, the Ebola epidemic appears to be wane. But the system provides a blueprint for future. After catching wind of the project, Perakslis says, he’s working to help MSF “open source” the technology, freely sharing the software code and hardware designs with the world at large. The hope is that system could also be used to battle others epidemics, including cholera outbreaks, and perhaps help with medical research, including clinical trials for drug-resistant tuberculosis. “You can think of other highly toxic environments, even laboratory environments, where this could really be helpful,” Perakslis says.
Fighting Disease Like a Tech Company

But it could also provide a path to all sorts of other new technologies for fighting disease and illness in developing countries. If tech is open source, you see, you can not only use it for free, but modify it. This is actually what MSF and Google themselves did in creating their system for the Ebola wards. In fashioning the software that runs on the tablet and server, they built atop an existing open source medical records tool called OpenMRS. One technology is just a starting point for another.

What’s more, says Ivan Gayton, the project offers a lesson in how organizations like MSF should operate. In the past, they operated according to carefully organized hierarchies of employees. And they were forced to use what came down from the big software and hardware sellers. But the tablet project was an almost ad-hoc collaboration. Achar phoned Gayton. Gayton phoned Google. Soon, Google sent about a dozen employees to London, including Google Drive project manager Ganesh Shakar, who was living in Australia. Later, Gayton says, MSF roped in several other volunteer techies from outside the organization, including a 19-year-old gaming entrepreneur.

Finally, various parts of the team, spanning multiple organizations, flew down to Sierra Leone to test and deploy the system in the real world. Organizations like MSF don’t typically work in this way, Gayton explains. And they should.

“We’ve learned new ways of doing things,” he says. “In the past, we used the Roman-legion, hierarchical, triangle structure. But Google and the tech volunteers we work with organize in different ways—ways more like what you see with open source projects like Linux, with more or less one manager and then a bunch of equal peers. That can have profound implications for the humanitarian field.”
