HOW TO ENTER SAFE MODE ON ANDROID DEVICES.

Safe mode is a great tool that allows you to figure out whether or not a third-party app is responsible for the problems you may be experiencing with your smartphone. These include things like overheating, automatically rebooting multiple times a day, crashing, and more.

So, how exactly can safe mode help? Well, when you boot your device into safe mode, all third-party apps are disabled, while those that are pre-installed still work (YouTube, Gmail…). If the issue you’re experiencing goes away while in safe mode, you can be sure that one of the third-party apps is responsible for it.

The only problem is that it might not be obvious which one is the culprit, as you can’t disable just one app. Nevertheless, you can figure out which app was installed right before the issue started and get rid of it from your device, which should solve the problem.

Entering safe mode is an easy task to complete and won’t take more than a minute of your time. Check out the short instructions on how to enter safe mode below.

What you can do when your Debit/ATM card is stolen



A debit card is way beyond just an ordinary card made out of plastic or metal; cards are money. So it’s understandable to when people go into panic mode when their cards go missing or gets stolen. It’s understandable though; since there’s a risk of losing some or all of the money in the account linked to your card, it is paramount to act swiftly. You might have gone through such experience where at the point of payment for some item in a store or online, you find out your the wallet containing your bank cards is missing.

If you haven’t, there’s no need to panic. There are things you can do and measures you should take when your debit or credit card gets stolen. Also, if you aren’t sure whether your card was stolen or it’s just somewhere you can’t remember, the wiser choice is to take action immediately and not to wait and hope your card is found. That waiting period is more than enough time the thieve needs to sweep your card clean of whatever funds you have in it.

1. Check Your Transaction History

When you notice your card is nowhere to be found, the first thing you’d want to do is to check your account transaction history either through your bank’s website, internet banking platform or through your mobile banking app. The essence of checking your account history is to ensure that no fraudulent or unusual transactions have taken place on your account during the period your card went missing.

If there’s any transaction you do not recognize or authorize, note it down on a paper or anywhere. Take note of the amount, transaction details, location, and time. No matter how small the transaction amount is, note it down. This is because thieves and scammers usually perform low amount transactions on stolen cards as a test to test the validity of the card before they proceed to use such cards for bigger purchases.



To prevent your hard earned money from being wiped away from your card by some thieves, proceed to step 2.

2. Contact your Bank

Next step after checking your account history is to contact your bank, card company, or the financial institution that issued you the card. If you noticed any strange transaction during the account check, you should notify the customer care representative of such transaction and order a permanent block on the card.

If, on the other hand, there has been no transaction made to you during the period it got stolen or missing, you can order the bank to impose a temporary block or freeze to your card. When you eventually find your wallet or your card, you can call the bank again to reverse the temporary ban and reactivate your card.

Not all banks offer the “temporary card block” service though. In such cases, you should permanently block the card. The bank will most likely issue you a new card immediately for free or for a small fee.

A consumer’s potential liability due to a lost or stolen ATM card depends primarily on how soon the loss of the card is reported to the bank.

NOTE: When you notice your card has been stolen, do not wait a second longer before contacting your bank. This is because you are responsible for whatever changes made on your account before you report a stolen card. If there are still charges made to your card after reporting it stolen or missing, the bank will be responsible for such charges.

3. Manually Block the card

If efforts to get through to your bank prices futile, you can block the card yourself. Many banks have provisions within their apps that allows users manually block and unblock their debit and credit cards. The feature is usually found in the Card management section of bank apps.



If you have multiple cards connected to your account, select the card you want to block and block it. Should you find your card later, you can follow the same process to unblock it. If after blocking your card via this method and you notice any fraudulent transactions, reach out to your bank.

4. Cancel Automatic/Recurring Payments

Once you contact your bank to block your card or perhaps you have requested for a new card, the next step is to notify companies that automatically charge your stolen card for recurring payments like electricity bill, saving app, TV subscription etc. You should inform such companies of the status of your card as well as provide a new payment method to avoid a halt in services being provided.

5. Implement New Safety Measures

To prevent your card from being stolen again when you get a new one, there are some safety measures you would want to implement. First, you should be more careful with your wallet and generally maintain a closer watch on your physical card. Also, you should use electronic wallets in lieu of carrying your cards everywhere you go as it decreases chances of losing your cards to thieves.

Electronic wallets (eWallets) such as Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay are digital payment platforms that lets you store your card details in the cloud and complete purchases through an app. There are merchants that accepts payment via this eWallet platforms. So in place of swiping your cards at the store, you can simply pay for good by scanning a barcode. Using mobile money or paying for services by transferring funds to the merchant’s account directly from your bank app is also a safer option.

The point is to carry your card only when necessary. Say you want to withdraw cash at an ATM stand. Interestingly, many banks now offer careless withdrawal at their ATMs. So you really do not need to have your card on you at all time. Additionally, do not write your card PIN on the back of your card. Likewise, do not store it in your online wallet or anywhere at all. You PIN should be in your head; a combination of numbers you can remember by heart. Keep your PIN private.

Conclusively, if there were any fraudulent charges on your card during the period it got stolen, ensure you follow-up with your bank (via phone call or email) on how and when the charges will be reimbursed to your account.

7 Awesome Projects that Allow You to Run Android on PC

There are many reasons why you might want to run Android on your PC. You could be a mobile developer who is looking to test your apps before making them live, or you may just prefer to play mobile games on a bigger screen. Whatever the reasons, there are tons of ways you can run Android on PC, from using a virtual machine or an emulator to running an Android-based desktop application.

Here are six projects that bring Android to your desktop.

1. MEmu

MEmu is one of the best-functioning and best-adapted apps that lets you run Android on Windows 10. Designed with gaming in mind, MEmu does a great job of integrating PC keyboard-and-mouse controls and gamepads into its build of Android, and response times are equally impressive.

It has a ton of functionality, making it easy to sideload apps and games, and a forced minimum window size ensures that the window never becomes so small as to be unusable. The latest version of MEmu lets you run multiple instances of Android simultaneously, so you can play different games on the same account or instances of the same game through different accounts.

Some people may be put off by the advertising, but it’s a small price to pay for one of the smoothest Android emulators out there.

2. GenyMotion

GenyMotion is an Android Virtual Device that runs on Oracle’s VirtualBox software. If what you want is an adoption of the Android OS in its original form, then this is the solution for you.

The features of GenyMotion remain its best perks. It comes packed with over 3,000 different configurations for Android. Also, if you prefer to switch between different screen sizes and resolutions, then you are in for a treat.

Other mobile features such as Wi-Fi, GPS and multi-touch are fully supported.

GenyMotion supports full Android on PC application testing and development. It’s also optimized for speed.

GenyMotion is free for personal use but comes with a paid plan for commercial use.

3. Android Studio’s Android Emulator

This one from Google is another powerful Android-to-PC solution. Like GenyMotion, the Android Emulator operates on a layer inside your PC. It is the native solution from Google for running Android devices on PC, and it does it pretty well.

To get the Android Virtual Device, you’ll need to install Android Studio first and then run the Virtual Device from the app.

One advantage of this solution is that it supports links to Google’s Android development, so you can be pretty sure it’s not going anywhere soon. Another big win is that it supports Intel Hardware Acceleration technology (HAXM). This improves the speed of the OS to an almost native feel.

Internet, Wi-Fi, multi-touch, an accelerometer, and many more features come packed in this OS, so you can be sure that you won’t run out of options while using it. Android Emulator is free to use.

4. BlueStacks

BlueStacks is one of the old-time favorites for running Android OS on PC. It is built on native Android, so it is capable of supporting the millions of apps on Google Play. And you can access Play from inside the app.

Unlike GenyMotion and Android Virtual Device, BlueStacks is an application. However, it’s still a virtual machine at its core, so you don’t need to install any other helper application. Just download and run the app. The good thing about BlueStacks is that it is optimized for gaming on your desktop. This means you can play popular games like Final Fantasy X, Clash of Clans, FIFA soccer and PUBG mobile.

The latest version, BlueStacks 3, comes preloaded with optimizations for gaming experiences. Users who love running Android games on their PC are in for a smooth experience. The good news is that it runs on Android Nougat, too.

5. Android X86.org Android on PC

This Android-x86 OS leverages the power of the open source community to deliver on its promise. It is a full-featured Android on PC, designed to run independently on PC. It requires VirtualBox to be installed and running on your PC, though.

The OS is on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), which is quite behind. However, it is one of the most stable OS available to run Android apps on PC. The open source community touts it as the most stable solution available.

The designers of this app chose to use a wide-screen user interface on this OS, so it feels like using an Android tablet with a keyboard. Another advantage is that it comes installed with Google Play and with clean Android UI. There is no bloatware to clog up space.

If what you seek is a reliable Android-on-PC solution that doesn’t crash often, then this is for you.

6. Anbox

Anbox, or Android in a Box, is an open-source Android-to-PC project. The Apache and GPLv3 license covers this project.

Anbox runs its Android kernel in a Linux subsystem sandbox. This project doesn’t have emulation layers, so it does not virtualize your hardware. This feature makes it run fast.

The project integrates with the host OS to give users a feature-rich experience. And it works on both mobile devices and laptops.

The downside of the Anbox project is that it doesn’t run on Fedora/CentOs Linux distribution. It works only on Ubuntu and Debian.

You can install third-party apps using an Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Anbox doesn’t support Google Play and has no built-in app store.

7. Bliss OS

Another contender for the top spot is Bliss OS. Started as an open source project, this OS has morphed to become one of the best Android OS available. It is also a true multitasking workhorse.

Bliss OS seeks to be a full-featured Android-on-PC OS and comes with an installer package for dual-booting. This means you should expect to run Bliss as a standalone OS for Android.

It also comes pre-installed with Google Play, so you can access all apps on your PC at will. Unlike some other projects, it is a lot more stable. There are a few crashes but nothing that affects your use.

To Wrap It Up

Running Android on PC is no longer a pipe dream. The seven solutions above are capable of turning your Android OS into a full-featured PC OS. Each solution is suited for different uses. No matter what your particular needs are, there’s something for everyone

What Are Hardware Drivers, and Why Do They Cause So Many Problems.

What Are Hardware Drivers, and Why Do They Cause So Many Problems.

If you’ve experienced a computer crash, a hardware driver may have been the cause. These are pieces of software that your computer’s operating system uses to talk to its hardware. Every operating system—from Windows to Android—uses hardware drivers

Drivers Are Like Translators For Your Computer

At a fundamental level, two main components comprise a computer—software and hardware. The software is your operating system (OS) and any programs and apps you have installed on it. Your motherboard, RAM, mouse, keyboard, printer, and anything else physical connected to your computer make up the hardware.

Without any help, the software doesn’t know how to talk to your hardware and vice versa. Hardware drivers are bits of software that teach your OS, programs, and apps how to work with your devices. Imagine your OS speaks English, and your hardware speaks German. Hardware drivers, then, are the language interpreter converting English to German and back again.

Manufacturers Make Drivers; Software Developers Use Them

Since drivers handle hardware translation, you might think that means the manufacturers that make hardware make the drivers. That’s true some of the time; chances are the manufacturer made your graphics driver, for instance. But that isn’t always true.

Microsoft (and some manufacturers) provides universal drivers that anyone can use. These drivers offer cost savings and consistency in performance across devices. Skipping the driver creation process empowers the manufacturer to tune its hardware to a well known thoroughly tested driver with specifications that fit the company’s needs. Your mouse, keyboard, and USB drives are likely using generic Microsoft-made drivers, for instance.

Some devices can use generic drivers but may perform better with device-specific drivers. For example, your computers graphic card can output your desktop to a display with generic drivers, but it needs drivers from its manufacturer—NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel—for optimal 3D gaming performance.

Regardless of who makes the driver, software developers take advantage of and use them. Your text editor or word processor calls the print driver to work with the printer and the graphics driver to display text. Without those drivers, your program doesn’t know how to talk to the printer or monitor to accomplish essential functions like printing and changing the font size. Hardware drivers give software developers a leg up though; they don’t have to learn the ins and outs of hardware language to use the hardware.

The software developer doesn’t have to spend a ton of time reinventing the wheel. If an app needs to print, its developer can implement a basic print function and trust the system’s printer drivers to handle the details. Otherwise, the software developer might need to design a print operation for HP printers, then Brother Printers, and so on.

Software sometimes uses multiple drivers to work with a device, passing the data through each. To return to our language barrier example, imagine your Software speaks English, and your Hardware speaks German. Unfortunately, the first device interpreter on hand only speaks English and Italian. That’s enough to facilitate communication. Now, imagine a second interpreter arrived who spoke Italian and German. By sending down the line through the two interpreters, eventually, communication would work. The same basic concept occurs when multiple drivers are in use between software and hardware.

Why Hardware Drivers Can Cause System Crashes

The close interaction between software, driver, and hardware is what makes everything work on your computer. It’s also what breaks things. Let’s go back to our language interpretation analogy. Language translation is only as good as the worst speaker of a language in the chain. If your interpreter speaks very good English but only passable German, then it’s possible they’ll misspeak, and the German speaker won’t truly understand what’s being said.

The same occurs with device drivers, but the problem is compounded. It isn’t just that the device driver itself may not be perfect, but the software and the hardware involved may also have problems. And those problems can be magnified as they head down the chain, much like a game of telephone. So if you tell the software you want to print, and it sends the direction to the driver incorrectly, the driver will, in turn, interpret as best as it can and send those directions to the hardware. If all goes well, you’ll be none the wiser.

But software, drivers, and your hardware aren’t always smart enough to recover from bad data. If your interpreter seems befuddled because they don’t know why the German speaker wants “hand shoes” (handschue in German) you can work together to determine they mean gloves. But if your OS tells your graphics driver to turn the graphics card’s fan off when it meant on, your graphics card will do as told, leading to a potential system overheat and shutdown.

The problem gets more complicated than that, but at their basic levels, they can be boiled down to the fact that bad data made an impossible request and the system couldn’t recover. Your operating system may freeze or crash. Drivers themselves may contain bugs or incompatibilities, but a driver may also appear to be at fault when the underlying hardware device is failing or has another physical problem.

What to Do If You Suspect Bad Hardware Drivers

This is the first place to go for updated hardware drivers.
If you think you have a hardware driver issue, the first thing you should do is take a step back and examine why you’ve come to that conclusion. If a piece of software recommends you update ‘out of date’ software and promises to help you update, you should stop. We don’t recommend driver update utilities; they can cause more harm than good; in fact, it’s debatable if they cause any good at all. The best thing you can do for your machine is uninstalling the driver updater.

The truth is, you generally don’t need to update hardware drivers. If you do not see an issue with your hardware, and it seems to be working fine, then it’s better to leave things as they are than risk introducing an issue. One exception is graphics drivers associated with graphics cards; these are regularly updated to solve problems, add new features, and improve performance for new PC games. But most of your hardware drivers likely don’t need updating.

However, if you’ve seen a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) that lists an error message about a hardware driver, you’re probably on the right track. If a hardware driver is causing crashes, then your next step should be to check for new drivers.

But even in that case, don’t use the driver update utility. The best way to update your driver is through Windows Update or the manufacturer’s website. Start by checking for any Windows updates, Microsoft does a decent job of taking care of hardware updates for you at this point, and that may save a lot of effort.

If you don’t see anything in Windows update, then head to the manufacturer’s website and check its support area for driver downloads. Compare the latest version the manufacturer offers to the version shown in Device Manager.

For the most part, hardware drivers should work in the background, and you shouldn’t notice their presence. Unfortunately, everything that makes hardware drivers work well also makes them a potential source of problems. But usually, you don’t need to worry about them at all. They either don’t need updating, or Windows will take care of it for you. Understanding those key facts will help you solve a problem if you have it—and avoid causing a problem where none existed in the first place.

Thank you.

How you can prevent your device from logging and storing data where other people can easily stumble across it.

Every time you grab your phone to participate in a group chat, watch a YouTube video, or search the internet, you leave a digital trail of activity. This footprint can compromise your privacy the next time a friend borrows your device. It also puts your personal information at risk should your phone fall into really unscrupulous hands.
In this guide, we'll explain how you can prevent your device from logging and storing data where other people can easily stumble across it. We will focus on cleaning up your phone's local storage, as opposed to limiting the information that apps send to the cloud.
Go incognito
The web browser on your phone, like the one on your computer, offers a data-limiting incognito or private mode. When you open a session in this mode, the app will forget the pages you visit and the keywords you search as soon as you close the window.
However, private browsing doesn't make you invisible. For instance, if you log into Facebook's web portal in incognito mode, the social network will record your activity. Your internet service provider (ISP), will also see your browsing, and it may log your online behavior as well. To hide your browsing from your ISP, you'll need to rely on a Virtual Private Network (VPN) (more on that in this roundup of security gadgets and apps). But if you simply aim to clean up the record left on your phone's local storage, then this mode tidies up after itself very effectively.
The process for using this mode will depend on the browser app you prefer. For example, to launch incognito mode with Chrome, tap the
Menu button (three dots) on the top right of the page and choose New incognito tab . If you forget to browse incognito, you can still clear your saved data. Just hit Menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data .
For iPhone users who rely on Safari, tap the
Show pages icon (two squares) on the bottom right of the screen and choose Private . Now, when you tap the Plus button to open a new window, it will be an incognito one. To erase data collected outside of private mode, open the Settings app and select Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
Erase messages
Unless you use a chat app with self-destructing messages, it will keep records of your conversations. Of course, most people like to
check back on their old communications, but you don't need to preserve every moment of a years-long thread. You can delete these old conversations manually, or try a less time-consuming option: Automatically erase chat history after a set period of time has elapsed.
On iOS, open the Settings app, go to Messages > Keep Messages , and set messages to automatically disappear after 30 days. Within the app itself, you can manually erase conversations from the front screen: Swipe left on the thread and then tap the Delete button.
Unfortunately, not all chat apps offer this auto-expunge function. To leave no trace of conversations on your phone, you may have to turn to manual deletion. This may be time-consuming, but it isn't difficult. For example, in Android's default SMS app, Messages, you delete a conversation by long-pressing on it and then tapping the Trash icon on the top right of the screen.
Some apps make it easier to purge your entire history all at once. In the case of WhatsApp, open the app and head to Settings > Chats > Chat history > Delete all chats . Then make a note to regularly check back and re-erase your latest messages.
Another solution is to only send the aforementioned self-destructing messages. Apps with this option include Telegram Messenger, Facebook Messenger, and
Snapchat. For more information, check out our
guide to self-destructing message apps.
Limit app logging
Each of the apps on your phone will take a slightly different approach to logging your activities. Some of them let you avoid their gaze by using incognito mode, while others will stop tracking you if you ask.
For example, the Android version of YouTube (this is not yet available in the iOS version) just added an incognito mode, which doesn't track the videos you watch. To activate this mode, open the app, tap your avatar on the top right of the screen, and pick Turn on Incognito.
On the other hand, Google Maps will track your location by default, which lets it accumulate a lot of data about your real-world movements. To stop it, head to the settings: Launch the app, tap the Menu button (three lines) on the top left of the screen, and hit Settings (on Android) or the cog icon (on iOS). Within the settings, select
Personal content and turn off the location history feature.
There are millions of apps on the market, with no hard and fast rules about how to keep them from recording your behavior. But in general, a good first step is to check for the aforementioned settings—incognito mode and stopping tracking.
If you don't find these options, you'll have to clear your activity manually. This process will vary depending on your operating system.
In Android, open Settings > Apps & notifications , pick an app from the list, and hit Storage > Clear storage . This wipes all the data that the app has stored locally. Afterward, the app will behave as if you've installed it from scratch, so you'll need to log in again, set up your preferences, and so on.
On iOS, you won't find an identical option, but you can achieve the same effect by uninstalling and reinstalling an app. Open the Settings app, tap General > iPhone Storage , and select one of your apps. Then choose Delete App to wipe all of its data. Finally, re-install the program from the App Store.
It's not very practical to do this for all of your apps every day. But you might choose to run a manual clean-up at set intervals (say once a month), before you go traveling, or whenever you want to make a fresh start.
Delete search history
Many mobile apps store data locally and in the cloud, so they can sync your information to other devices. That means, to clear search logs from your phone, you'll have to wipe the records across multiple platforms.
For example, your Google account will store the history of searches you've run from your Android phone. To wipe these records, you actually have to access them from the web. Open your browser and head to your Google activity history page. Click the Menu button (three lines) on the top left, then Delete activity by. Set the time span and content type—to erase everything, those should be All time and Search, respectively—and click Delete . This will wipe your search history across all the Google-linked products you use, including Android and the Google search engine.
On iOS, you won't find a comparable activity cleaner. However, you can prevent Spotlight from betraying your past searches by displaying them as suggestions. To turn off this feature, head to the Settings app, tap Siri & Search , and toggle off the Suggestions in Search switch. Now, when you lend your phone to your mother to look something up, she won't see all your past search terms.

Clean the leg of the connector together with the circuit board. Check if any of the components on board are intact if this efforts are made and no solution, change the board. Note: some board of the same manufacturer works together with each others. For instance NOKIA 3310 board can be used to replace NOKIA 3330 ETC. what you have consider first is the size of the cell phone board and the manufacturer.
2.  Partial    contact	The phone is not ON when receiving call.	At times, the problem lies on the bus line. Heat or dust might have blocked the bus line. The only solution to this is to remove the board, clean the bus line with fluid while cleaning make sure you don’t allow the fluid to touch the components of the board...
3.  Blunt screen	The screen is black ore broken	This problem arised when the cell phone is placed on where heat contact with the phone. After some minutes the optical with fibers will produce cladding liquid that will blunt the screen. The solution to this problem is to replace the screen with its own type. If the screen is with the board, that means the whole board must be replaced.
4.  No Message Display	If the phone is working but does not display any message	Remove the casing unscrew the phone cell and clean the display screen interface on the circuit board.
5.  No contact from the keypad	All the key pads cannot contact with the board.	If you press the key and they are not giving any response or display, anything while the phone is still working, check the tightness of the cell phone. If it is not tightened well, the keypad will not make any contact. If tightened and yet there is no solution, check the keys contact lines on the connectors on the board and clean them.

7.  Battery brains not normal	This is a situation whereby the cell battery goes down faster than normal	If the battery is a new battery, change it and recharge for two or three times to obtain normal performance. If it is a new battery read from the voltage of the battery to see the voltage capacity. If the area is a variable coverage. This quickly drain the battery, unless user saves the area, the batter always drain fater.
8.  The battery is not charging	If there is current to charge the battery and the battery is not charging.	Check the alighnment of the battery to ensure that they are installed properly. Make sure the polarities are well collated and see contact, clean and dry. If there is no response, use another charger to discover where the fault lies. At times the charger may be bad. Finally check the charger control IC.
9.  blinking of Network Signals	This is when the signal symbol showing the Network signal is blinking or On / Off on the phone screen.	Check if the environment where user does not have enough coverage capacity to receive signal. Check if the signal receiver s receiving. Consider the configuration of the aility of the cell phone, adjust the antenna, clean the line bus with fluid.
10.   Contact with phone manufacturers	Some cell phones gives this information when services are required	With air and set them back. Charge and discharge the batter
11.   Loss memory	If the information stored in the memory is missing, phone cell cannot retain information to retain memory ….	There is a cell battery of the board that makes the cell phone after some hours of the information for 24 hours. When the battery is weak or bad the cell phone can no longer store or retain any information. Change the battery with its own Original type the battery is Ok after reading it with meter, recharge the normal battery of the cell because low current during charging affect through cell phone memory. The RAM may be bad.
12.  Not Network	The cell phone recognize the SIM card but cannot link to the base station	Check if the cell phone is not customized to one particular network. Check RF amplifier, RX filter TX mutual Coupler, Audio e.t.c.
