PASSWORD PROTECT WHATSAPP MESSENGER(IOS,ANDROID, SYMBIAN & BLACKBERRY)

Whatsapp messenger is a mobile application that is compatible with the ios, androids, symbian, blackbery and java phones that is used to share messages, photos & voice messages within friends and family. Many a times we love and want our privacy to be respected and our mobile gadgets are not excluded neither our whatsapp messages.
Having a fancy gadget calls for admiration. Friends would want to have a feel of your phone and when they having a look, your whatsapp  messages could be open and viewed but when it is passworded, they are restricted.  Securing your whatsapp messenger is one of the challenges faced in the usage of the app but I want to share today the the process by which your whatsapp sms are kept secured on your mobile devices.

HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT WHATSAPP MESENGER ON AN ANDROID DEVICE
androidHaving an android device is fast becoming everyone’s dream. Many of the devices designed recently are powered by the android OS and this is giving rise to the design of android apps as different developers are recording their name on the Google play market. 

The use of whatsapp messenger on an android device could be secured and password protected with the use of several apps such as lock for whatsapp, messenger app lock, whatsapp lock. I recommend whatsapp lock- It is a light-weight app with an easy to use interface. it allows you to secure your messages with the use of a 4 digit pin which is set immediately after installation. The app automatically locks up your whatsapp messenger after a set time. The auto-lock time could be set to either immediately, 1 min, 2min, 3min, depending on the locktime you want it to be.
HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT WHATSAPP MESSENGER ON AN IOSDEVICE
iphoneWith the strict requirements in getting your app published in the itunes store there is yet to be special apps that can guarantee you a private whatsapp sms chat. Nevertheless, you can still have a safe and private sms chat  with the use of  IPROTECT.

Iprotect is an app that aids in securing both your contacts, photos, files and apps with a passcode. It also posses an anti-theft system that helps lock your device and relays information about locating the phone through  sms to a pre-inputed number whenever there’s a sim card change.
NB- To enjoy iprotect your device needs to jail broken.
HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT WHATSPP MESSENGER ON BLACKBERRY

bbLock whatsapp-  A blackberry app that can be downloaded from the blackberry appworld at a #0.00 cost price. There are so many lock apps for whatsapp but I’ll recommend lock whatsapp because of it’s better security compared to others. It allows you to either lock your messenger application  with the password mode or the pattern lock mode. It creates room for resetting your password when you forget. with lock whatsapp  your whatsapp messages are un-accessible from your message inbox, securing your data.
HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT WHATSAPP MESSENGER ON A SYMBIAN DEVICE
The symbian OS which is been gently phased out by Google’s own android operating system and apple’s ios is still one of the pioneering platform for whatsapp and with the use of whatsapp on the symbian device you can still be rest assured of security. This is possible with the installation of the advanced device lock- an application that allows you to set a password to your phone applications and then restricts unwanted access to your data.

What to expect from the next stage in Smartphone technology

del.icio.us Tags: ,,,

Now that the Smartphone manufacturers have caught up with the iPhone, they are now able to compete on a more level playing ground. The competition has never been so fierce, which is why so many improvements and advancements are coming onto the market with such frequency. There is a lot of money to be made with Smartphones because they are relatively cheap to make compared to desktop computers and yet are charged at the same price. Here are a few things you should look out for in the future.
credit- rediffsmartphones

Transparency:
This has been a long time coming and you can look online right now and see a few transparent gadgets. But, they have not really hit the open market with any force yet. Transparent TVs are not selling as thick and fast as 3D TVs, and transparent Smartphones are not as popular as manufacturers hoped. But, each year we see a slightly different transparent phone enter the arena at trade shows and conventions, indicating that they are probably going to feature heavily in the future.

True 4G Internet:
Communications experts out there will tell you that real 4G Internet is not yet available in the US. Even phones that are set up to receive 4G are still using 3G Internet. Broadband Internet is not yet available, and 4G is actually using a 3G standard at the moment. So, 4G is basically whatever marketing companies say it is until true mobile broadband becomes widely available.

Better cameras:
In the race to usurp the competition, people are putting more and more advanced cameras into Smartphones. The most obvious example comes from Samsung who have put a 13MP camera in their new Smartphone. More MP on a Smartphone does mean it is possible to take better photos than if you use a lesser MP camera on a Smartphone, but photography is not just about MP. Handheld cameras are still beating Smartphone cameras in most cases. Still, Smartphone manufacturers are going to keep improving Smartphone cameras into the near future.

Faster processing:
This is another thing that Smartphone manufacturers are doing in order to beat the competition. It is now more of a race to see who can provide the most processing power and install more CPUs into devices. The current best is an eight-core processor, but this will undoubtedly be beaten in the near future as manufacturers push the envelope more and more.

More hard drive memory:
The hard drive memory capacity of Smartphones is going up every year. Smartphones with the memory capacity of tablet devices are already on the market. There is also a strong feeling that one of the manufactures is going to release a Smartphone with a hard drive containing over 100GB of space in the near future.

More sensitive touch screen interfaces:
Touch screen technology seems to improve every year. Being able to touch the screen in more than one place is becoming a common Smartphone standard. There are now touch screens that are so sensitive that they can even be used if you are wearing thin cotton gloves. Logic dictates that touch screen technology is going to continue to advance at the same pace it has done over the last few years.

Longer lasting batteries
Batteries are what make up most of the weight on many Smartphones, which is why some manufacturers have created more efficient machines and batteries so that they can shrink them down and make thinner devices. The race for the thinnest device seems to have slowed down now, as getting any thinner is going to become impracticable. But, the race for better batteries and more energy efficient machines is still raging as manufacturers try to extend the usable power time of Smartphones.

More geo located information for users:
This is a combination of more information being entered into online software, and a combination of geo-location technology being more present and accurate within Smartphone devices. It is now common for people to use their Smartphones to navigate and find businesses, etc, so it seems only logical that technology will keep pushing forwards to make this easier and more convenient.

Text-to-voice and Voice-to-text:
This technology already exists but is not perfect and can become annoying. Google have made great steps in improving this technology for use in their Google Glasses. These are a pair of glasses that you wear that are crammed with technology that allows you to navigate and take images and videos. It is essentially a small Smartphone that is built into a pair of glasses. The technology relies heavily on voice commands, so no doubt voice command technology is going to improve in all mobile devices.

Better typing functions:
This is an area that simply has to improve because typing into mobile devices is still the pet peeve of many mobile device users. Tablets that turn into mini laptops have been created for tablets, but there is still a way to go for Smartphone technology.

Samsung liase with Jay-Z to boost mobile sales in U.S.A

The war between Apple Incorporated and Samsung Mobile is Strongly vexed at every seconds that count. With the release of it's S series, Samsung has gained top form in the mobile market, overthrowing Apple across the globe with an exception of the united states. According to comscore.com, apple stays dominant over it's rival Samsung in the US market with a market share of 39.2% to 22%. A gap of 17.2%, which is said to be one of a huge gap ever recorded between the two parties. What is responsible for apple's dominance in the U.S.A? Samsung mobile seems to disagree with the rumored fact that apple devices possess a much enticing packaging in terms of technology than theirs and has set on plans to fully top the world mobile market by embarking on a strong marketing strategy which entails a partnership deal with a reputable and high profiled musician- Jay-Z. Samsung would be giving out a copy of Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, (his latest un-released album) 3 days before it's launch to possessors of her Galaxy SIII, Galaxy SIV and Galaxy Note II for free. Certainly one of a kind strategy that is expected to close the 17.2% gap between Samsung and it's rival as they would be landing the musical tracks of a high profiled artist right before it gets to Apple's itune. Can Jay-Z propel a better sale for Samsung? Just can't wait to see how this Strategised partnership culminates success for Samsung.

THINGS YOUR MOBILE PHONE CAN DO FOR YOU DURING EMERGENCY PERIODS


EMERGENCY NUMBER-   112 is  the world’s emergency number for mobile phones. Are you faced with an emergency and there’s no network coverage? Then dial 112 on your mobile phone and despite the registered network is not available, the mobile phone would search for an available network and establish a call to this emergency number so as to bring you help. Interestingly, the emergency number "112" can be dialed even when the keypad is locked. You doubt it? Then, give it a try.


GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR LOCKED CAR -  Are you trapped out or you can not have access to your car just because you locked the keys to your car inside the car. Does your car have a remote keyless entry? Do you have the spare car remote at home? Panic no more because you are few dials away from your car been unlocked.
Pick up your phone and dial the number of someone at home who could reach the remote. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and let the person at home press the unlock button on the keyless remote, holding it near the mobile phone and watch your car get unlocked.
Are you astonished? Just a try would convince you.


HOW TO DESTROY A STOLEN PHONE      Are you anguished over your missing/stolen phone? Destroy the phone and render it useless to the thief by following these steps.
Firstly, you should have your phone’s imei unique code written down  ( Dial *#06# on your mobile phone)

Pull a call across to your service provider and disclose details about your missing mobile phone and the unique code to them and the phone would be blocked. Irrespective of the sim card been changed the phone becomes dead and useless to the user.


HOW TO AVERT ATM THEFT     Sometimes, when attacked by robbers/bandits and no valuables are found on you, they force you to lease off your ATM card and pin so as to gain access to your bank savings.
When disclosing or entering your pin under the gun influence, disclose it in the reversal form. i.e  if your pin is 1234, the reversal form would be 4321.
The ATM system has been configured to recognize that your pin number has been entered backwards on the slotted ATM card. It will debit your account and release the cash as requested but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately notified and dispatched to the location.

Very few individuals are aware of this innovation. Please help share this across the globe through Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and pass it along to everyone

FACEBOOK INTRODUCE VERIFIED PROFILE AND PAGES

                   
 Facebook, been one of the most populated social site has introduced a security system of verifying the profile and pages of top celebrities, business and the high-profiled individuals on its social network.

The system of cloning the profile/pages of the high-profiled by illegal facebook users for personal gains has been rampant and this has hampered the facebook security and also the identity of the individuals that fall victims.
With the introduction of a custom verification badge similar to that used on twitter pages will be used to clarify the authenticity of a page of a specific business or celebrity. The custom verification badge entails a small, blue check marks which features beside the page name and will also pop up when the mouse hovers around it, in searches, stories about users liking a page in pages you may like suggestions and in news feed ads.

These verification process is to boost consumers confidence on the brands, business and individuals they deal with and it is been carried out internally by the facebook team without the consent of either the business page admin or individual.

Do you think this process would successfully curb cloning/duplication of high-profiled profiles/pages?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

6 WAYS TO SEND SECRET MAILS AND SMS ONLINE




Back in the days of our fathers, when technology was still in a very young age; when they had to send messages through the post office.  Then there was a few situations of messages been leaked. They all had secrets between partners and their secrets were kept by partners without it been leaked to intruders in the process of letters/post-mails been transferred/conveyed to its respective partners.
                The jet-age where almost everything our fathers do is computerized and we now rely mostly on digital mails; messages are passed across to loved ones through electronic mails, sms, social sites, etc.
For years back the world has come to a full understanding of the fact that every message passed across to a certain recipient can be read by a third party sometimes before it gets to the deserved receiver. Hmm! I guess you understand what that means- your secrets could be on the national papers.
                Are you involved in private affairs and deals or you wish to share a secret with a loved one? Then you must be thinking deep on the necessary methods to remain private as you share that secret information.
 There are certain methods through which you can send that secret mail and sms to your private mate and I want to share 6 of them:-

1.     DRAFT MAILS- This is a process whereby two involved parties have security access to a certain e-mail account. A Message is written and save to drafts by an individual and the recipient would also access same account, view the message and also reply the message by same draft process without sending it across the server. This process was used by David Petraeus.

2.      CODE MAILS- Code mails involves the use of secret key word known to two or more private individuals to exchange encrypted mails to each other. The sent messages cannot be read without the key, the sender encodes a particular message with a key and the recipient would also need to make use of the key before he/she can decode the message.

3.       SILENT SENDER- Send mails to a confidante from your personal computer or mobile gadgets to a secret partner anonymously. Your messages can only be read by your intended recipient with the use of silentsender

4.       BLACK SMS
Black sms is a paid IOS application that enables individuals to send and receive messages in an encrypted mode. The iphone app converts messages into vague pictures that can be sent via text messages to the recipient and to view the coded message behind the image, the image would need to be uploaded back into the app for it to be converted back to messages. This method is carried out by only iphone users.
    
  5.  WICKR
It is a free application unlike black sms that is responsible for sending encrypted messages in form of texts, audios, pictures and videos. With wickr you can send private messages to friends and loved ones or that lady you checking on. *Winks* It is available for iphones presently and sooner or later the android version would be available.

6.       OFF –WEB
This method still remains the best way to protect that secret of yours from been leaked out to intruders. Almost everything that has to do with the web can be cracked or hacked. Why not put your pen to paper and pass  that secret message to your confidante

Samsung to unveil a smart watch in order to compete with Apple





Hmmm! Are you pondering what am pondering?  I guess this can be best referred to as “Technology War”. It’s a race between two Technology Companies- Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics in bombarding the Globe with smart phones.
It was leaked that Apple Inc. has been working on a smart-watch that could posses certain features such as making calls and ability to view the caller’s identity, view map co-ordinates and also monitor health related data’s and are making efforts to storm the market with her device before the end of 2013.
Competition now coming in from Samsung Electronics as it was disclosed by the executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile in an interview held at Seoul “that preparations are been made by the company and they are working so hard in getting their long worked on smart watch.


The South Korean based Company who unleashed their latest smart phone- Galaxy S4 last week might add the smart-watch to their set plans for the year 2013 so as to crash Apple’s sales after overtaking them to lead the smart-phone market and thereby becoming the world’s largest smart-phone manufacturer.
 Samsung Electronics who is known for manufacturing her own displays and chips could surely hit the mobile market before the US-based company (Apple Inc). Though the price is yet unknown but I assure you the first to hit the market with the smart watch would surely set up a standard for the other.                 
  Guess what? I just can’t wait to grab the smart-watch as my next smart device.
