Back Up Your Android Device With These Apps
With all of these updates coming up from Google nowadays, ICS 4.0, 4.03, 4.0.4, developers and Android enthusiasts have their work cut out for them. Flashing and re-flashing ROMs and custom ROMs take their toll on your Android smartphone, and that is why you need to keep a backup of your files, apps and settings for later installing them on your phone without the loss of your files.
Top 7 Android Apps to Back-up Your Data
Of course, Android being the best phone platform (in my humble opinion), offers a host of apps and services to backup your personal files. Not all of them are good though, but fear not, if you want to make a backup, there are great options to chose from.
7. ROM Manager
ROM Manager is a well known name for those who use custom Mods and flash lots of ROMs. And they know what this app can do, and the fact that it can make a great backup for your Android device. Apart from the fact that it can search for custom ROMs and many more, the backup process is very good, it makes your backup fairly good and it also restores it quite quick. I do recommend to buy the premium app, it has much more features for developers and those who flash frequently.
6. Antivirus & Security
Ok, maybe the name does not suggest an Android backup app, but think of the advantages: you get a great phone antivirus, app scanner and a backup app that can keep your contacts and other personal information on the apps “TrustedCloud”. I used this app for the past 2 months and I couldn’t be happier with the app. I recommend it anyone who wants a complete security app + a good backup service.
5. Contacts Backup Pro
With this $1 app you can a great deal of work. Copy your contacts to and from your SIM card, backup to csv, export Google and outlook csv style and much more. A complete Android backup solution for your entire list of contacts to keep them safe and use them between phones or restore them after a complete wipe. The app is incredibly simple to use and also fast. It copies your contacts in a matter of seconds.
4. SMS Backup & Restore
Just like App Backup & Restore, this app offers great support if you want to backup your SMS collection for purposes of flashing or factory reset. Also, the app allows you to clear your SMS history after backing up. Its simple interface makes it very easy to use and with only a few touches you are all done. The process of restoring your SMS collection is also just as simple. A very handy tool for any Android ROM enthusiast or developer.
3. App Backup & Restore
Batch backup your Android app collection and store them on your SD card with no hustle and in just a few moments. This simple to use app can help you store your apps on the safety of the SD card and restore them after you flashed a new rom or any other reason. Although App Backup & Restore can only backup apps and not personal information, it still is a great Android backup app worth taking the time to use.
2. MyBackup Pro
One of the best tools for making a complete backup of your Android device. Its main feature is its simple and intuitive user interface. With only a few touches you are done with your backup and can save it on your SD card or online. The app can cover all the information you need to backup, from user data, game data, apps and many more. Anything you need for a fresh Android SDK but with no loss of information. One of my favorite Android Backup apps and it’s well worth the $4 it costs. The peace of mind it gives you is priceless.
1. Titanium Backup
I cannot even begin to describe how awesome this app is! Titanium backup is without a doubt the most powerful tool you can get for backup. Although it requires a rooted Android phone, the features it has are great. To name just a few:
- Dropbox sync (manual or scheduled)
- Dalvik cache cleaner
- Send backup by e-mail
- Protect backup against deletion
And these are just a few. For the PRO version, you can get even more great features. I highly recommend this tool to anyone who wants a good, thorough backup of their data. If there was ever an app on Google Play worth buying, that is Titanium Backup.
After doing these backups, remember to keep the update on your computer when reflashing, because of the different wipes you have to do on your phone (cache, dalvik and data). We’ve also got a cool list for antivirus solutions for your Android device, if that’s what’s you’re looking for. Keep in mind that you must have a rooted Android phone for these apps to work.

How to Dual Boot Windows 8 and OS X Yosemite on Mac

How to Dual Boot Windows 8 and OS X Yosemite on Mac
OOne of the greatest things about owning a Macbook is that you’ll get the best of all worlds. You will not only be able to use the Mac OS X, but also install Windows 8 on another partition. This way, you will be able to switch between operating systems depending on your needs at the moment.
I often find myself in situations where certain apps won’t work on Linux as well as they do on Windows or the other way around. Sometimes they do, but they simply don’t work that well. This is why I decided to install both of them and simply choose which one is best for the tasks I have to do at that given time.
You can do the same with your Mac just by using the instructions below. The central idea in both cases has to do with creating a new partition and installing the other OS on that specific partition. However, the steps you need to follow are a little bit different depending on whether you want to install Windows 8 or OS X Yosemite. For this reason, we’re going to start with the first one, and then move on to the necessary steps for the other.
Dual booting Windows 8 on your Mac
Windows is very easy to run on Mac because it requires one important feature – Bootcamp – and this one is built into the OS X operating system. The first thing to do before you get started is to buy a Windows license, and then follow the steps indicated below.
Step 1: Download the Windows 8 and Save it on a USB Drive
Before you install the necessary program, you will need to have the Windows 8 kit. You can easily download Windows 8 ISO from the internet and make sure that you purchase a license, so you don’t get in trouble later on.
Step 2: Open BootCamp
Another important aspect is BootCamp. You will need to go to the Applications folder on your desktop, and then click on Utilities. Once you’re in there, you should be able to find an icon corresponding to BootCamp – double click on that to launch the assistant.
Step 3: Create a new Partition
The reason why you need to use BootCamp is to create a new partition. The only way for you to boot Windows on this computer is by installing this operating system on the partition that we were talking about. Therefore, you will need to set the size at 16 GB so that you have enough space for the OS and click on the button saying Partition. The Mac will then restart.
Step 4: Install Windows 8
When the computer begins restarting, you have to insert the USB stick or DVD where you downloaded the executable. By running the installation process for Windows 8, you will have the option of choosing which partition you want it to be installed on – choose the BootCamp one.
Step 5: Use the Partition
Once you choose your partition, you will need to click on Drive Options and select Format. This will prompt the installation, and your computer will let you know when it’s done. You will then have to remove the USB drive and start using the partition that has Windows 8 installed on it.
Any time you turn the Mac on from now on, you will have the option of booting into Windows. You simply need to hold down the Option key, and then select your prefer operating system. This is the easiest ways to dual boot Windows on a Macbook, and it can be done in less than an hour.

Global Mobile Internet Usage Overtakes Desktop for the First Time .{Report}
The Internet Report shows how time spent on smartphone for browsing the web has increased over the last 5 years, and in 2015, it has surpassed the time spent on desktop/laptops
Silicon Valley based venture capital firm, KPCB has published an interesting report called “The Internet Report” which depicts the Internet Trends in 2015. The first report was published way back in 1995, a time when the total number of Internet users stood at a meagre 35 million as opposed to 2.8 billion in 2015. “The Internet Report” throws light on some of the interesting aspects of Digital media consumption including the Time Spent per Adult user per day with the digital media.


Silicon Valley based venture capital firm, KPCB has published an interesting report called “The Internet Report” which depicts the Internet Trends in 2015. The first report was published way back in 1995, a time when the total number of Internet users stood at a meagre 35 million as opposed to 2.8 billion in 2015. “The Internet Report” throws light on some of the interesting aspects of Digital media consumption including the Time Spent per Adult user per day with the digital media.
The report has revealed some startling changes including the fact that 51% of the total time spent on the Internet is on mobile devices as opposed to the 42% of time on desktop. This is the first instance wherein the time spent consuming digital content on mobile devices has surpassed the time spent on desktops or laptops. Time spent on mobile Internet usage has grown three folds from less than an hour in 2008 to nearly three hours in 2015.
Smartphone users exhibit a greater degree of engagement as they carry it with them all the time, unlike laptops and desktops. The report also speaks about the untapped potential of the mobile ads considering the steady increase in smartphone penetration.
The 2.8 billion estimated internet users amount to just 39% of the human population, so the potential to grow and expand is huge. 51% of the existing internet population is in Asia with China itself being the 23%. There are over 5.2 billion mobile phone users out of which 60% is still on feature phones.
The top global apps in usage category is topped by Facebook followed by WhatsApp which has 800 Million active users and Messenger with 600 Million active users. Surprisingly Twitter figures out in the last place whereas the popular multiplayer online game Clash of Clans stands at eighth place. When it comes to session wise list of apps the Korean Messaging app Kakao Talk takes the lead and is trailed by WhatsApp and WeChat. Do take a look at our previous years report on how the digital news consumption is changing.

What To Do For Battery Boost on Laptop and Maximize Backup Time Without Charging
Battery backup is more of a concern in mobile devices and even Laptops too. This become more critical when you carry it out at schools or work most of the time. And question arises how can you maximize battery backup and last as long as it used to when it was new.
Here are some tips to boost battery of laptop and increase backup time and last longer without AC charging more often.
1. Setting Screen Brightness
Display takes up most of the battery power so, unless working outside in sunlight, brightness should be extreme low (0%). This can be lowered from Power options in Control Panel or laptops come with function key to do that.
Try to Turn of Laptop LCD Screen while listening songs or when away from Notebook.
2. Kill Useless Windows Processes
Not exactly useless but some programs start with windows and use Computer Processor. These are often used and not always. For example: On my Laptop, I noticed programs like Skype, Dropbox and Google Drive starting up without need. They keep using Processing power and hence battery juice.
3. Disable Wireless Network Connection
While testing some software tools to optimize laptop battery, I noticed that they stress on Wi-Fi connection. So, it is recommended to turn off Wi-Fi when you are not in network; this will save useless efforts by laptop to search for network. Also, it can be disabled even while in network for example watching movie or working on documents offline.
4. Disable CD/DVD Drives and USB Ports
If you are comfortable with touch-pad and do not use external USB mouse with laptop then disable USB ports. I bet you do not use optical CD/DVD Drives more often and for some, it might be never so, why keep it enabled uselessly?
To do that, type “device manager” in start menu and press Enter. In Device Manager, find the optical drive and right click on it to disable. Same is applicable for any other peripheral device attached to your laptop.
5. Setup Power Plans
Use Power Saving Plans in Power options available under Windows Control Panel.
From Advance Power Settings, you can customize the time as per required for various devices and processes. Try to keep it minimum.
6. Battery Calibration
If battery backup has reduced significantly, you should recalibrate laptop battery. As suggested by LifeHacker,
The calibration process basically involves first turning off your screensaver and other power management settings that put the computer to sleep. Then fully charge the laptop before letting it run all the way down until the computer shuts off automatically.Once the battery has fully drained, you can charge it back up again and restore your screensaver and power management settings.
7. Use Battery Optimizer Windows Software
Battery Optimizer is a diagnostic and optimization tool for laptop’s battery which will analyze the capabilities and optimization options. It takes some time to analyze (say 10 minutes).
A chart is displayed after the diagnostic run which highlights how much battery life you will gain when you run the program’s optimizations. If you have optimized your laptop already for mobile use, you may not gain as much as when you are running the program on a factory default laptop. The more unnecessary features are enabled, the more you will gain from the optimizations.
If battery heath is shown between 50-80% (Good) then you can recalibrate it and if it is below 25%, then its time to buy new battery.
There are some useful software like Battery Care which can suggest when to calibrate laptop battery, BatteryInfoView which gives all detailed information related to Battery right from Manufacturer name to charging cycles and time duration.
Should Laptop Be Always Plugged in AC Charging?
Laptop batteries may last a little longer if you let them fully discharge occasionally as suggested on Telegraph.
There’s no point in leaving the charger plugged in when you are not using the computer as even in this state it will be consuming a small amount of power. Lithium Ion laptop batteries typically last 3 or 4 years, whether you use them or not, maybe a little longer if you allow them to fully discharge once or twice a month.
Laptop Battery Backup Improvement Tips
- Hard Drive- More your laptop’s hard disk has to work, the more power it will have to use. Defragging the hard disk will reduce the time it takes to find files. Learn more Hard Disk Maintenance Tips to improve performance. If possible upgrade to SSD, here’s how you can upgrade Laptop HDD to SSD.
- Operating System- Experience says that Windows 7 is till now offers maximum battery backup. On Ubuntu and other Linux Distros, backup time reduces to half.
- Cleaning- Try to clean the metal contacts on the battery and your laptop with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
That’s all. Keep these in mind whenever you don’t have AC charging option available readily and want to work outside, while traveling or at school.
