iPhone SE is back! What can Apple expect from the Indian market after pricing it for Rs. 42500

As we all know, Apple released the iPhone SE (2nd generation or 2020 as people are calling it lately) for Rs. 42,500 by the means of a Press Release keeping in mind the prevailing situation throughout the world due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a well thought decision of not holding a event during this time.

Now coming to the point where I want to talk about the Indian markets in particular.

We have seen that the budget iPhone as we used to call it back then, the iPhone XR which launched in October, 2016

Let us evaluate the gains and losses of buying the SE over XR

Gains :-

• Comes cheaper
• Compact form factor suitable from small hands
• Touch ID 
• A13 Bionic Chip
• WiFi 6 and advance 
• Sapphire Crystal Lens cover for added protection against scratch
• Portrait lighting with background effects for the camera

 Losses :-

• Smaller Screen 
• Less battery life as claimed
• No Face ID

To sum this all up one can safely go for the SE even in 2020 as it is based on a design from apple that it continued from iPhone 6 on wards, with just minor changes here and there but running the latest iOS and would be supporting the future updates to the iOS as well. If you are into gaming and similar stuff like that which require a slightly bigger display, then considering the XR which would cost a couple of thousand bucks more than SE is not a bad option.

But the main point, that is, the difference in the pricing in USA ($399) which translates to Rs. 30631 and the launch price of India is more than Rs. 10,000 which I think is a way too much to ask for.

A humble pricing of Rs. 35,000 could have attracted even more audience towards Apple with this launch. But there could still be a cashback offer with specific brands like we saw with the iPhone 11 series which offered straight up discount of 7000 on the iPhone 11 if payment was made using HDFC Bank Card.

I will update this post as there is announcement of any Bank offers or best buy links as it will come to my knowledge, for anything else, comment down below.

PS: Trying to revive this blog once again. Please give me your support.

How to enable .NET Framework in Windows 8 or 8.1 with or without internet access.

 Before moving forward to the steps of how to enable .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 with or without using Internet let us know what is .NET Framework.

.NET Framework (pronounced dot net) is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It includes a large library and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across several programming languages. Programs written for .NET Framework execute in a software environment (as contrasted to hardware environment), known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR), an application virtual machine that provides services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute .NET Framework.

.NET Framework's Framework Class Library provides user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. Programmers produce software by combining their own source code with .NET Framework and other libraries. .NET Framework is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform. Microsoft also produces an integrated development environment largely for .NET software called Visual Studio.

Now here are the Prerequisites and step-by-step tutorial for enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 with or without using Internet

Enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 by using Internet

Prerequisites for enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 by using Internet are:-

1.       Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 PC

2.       Internet Access

Note: The .NET Framework 3.5 file is of approximately 231 MB, so make sure to use Wi-Fi or Unlimited Internet Connection or a Dial-Up Connection with at least 300 MB (I have mentioned 300 MB here for safety purpose).

The steps to enable .Net Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 by using Internet are:-

1.       Go to Control Panel

2.       Click on Programs

3.       Click on Programs and Features

4.       Click on Turn Windows features on or off

5.       Check the box where it is written .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
 

Note: The box should be filled instead of a tick mark

6.       Click on Ok

7.       Now let Windows download and enable the required files (It is preferred to keep the PC idle till the download and installation is complete)

8.       Once it is enabled, click on Close.

Enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 without using Internet

Prerequisites for enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 without using Internet are:-

1.       Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 PC

2.       Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 DVD or ISO

Note: The DVD or ISO used must be Original or if the ISO is downloaded from a 3^rd Party site, then make sure that the ISO is Untouched (which means it should not be an All-In-One ISO or a Two-In-One ISO). Even the Architecture of the DVD or ISO should be same as that of the Windows installed on the PC (which means that if the Windows installed is of 32bits (x86) then the DVD or ISO must also be of 32bits (x86) and this is the same for 64bits (x64) Windows).

The steps to enable .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 without using Internet are:-

1.       Go to Computer or This PC

2.       Check the Drive Letter of the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 DVD or where the ISO is mounted.

3.       Now run Command Prompt as Administrator (Press Windows Button + X and then Select Command Prompt(Admin))

4.       Type: "Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename: NetFX3 /all /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess" without "".

Note: There should be spaces as given above. If spaces are missing, Command Prompt will show an error. Above ‘X’ is the Drive letter of the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 DVD or where the ISO is mounted. 

5.       After typing hit the Enter button.

6.       After completion, you will see a Windows telling that .NET Framework 3.5 is installed.

7.       Click on OK

8.       Now Go to Control Panel

9.       Click on Programs

10.   Click on Programs and Features

11.   Click on Turn Windows features on or off

12.   You will see that the Check box where it is written .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) is filled. This means that .NET Framework 3.5 is successfully enabled in your PC.

If you want to enable all the features of .NET Framework 3.5 which are Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation and Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation then click on the check box, the tick mark will appear in both the check boxes as well as in the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) Box.

As .NET Framework 3.5 is already installed, Windows won’t connect to internet to enable those features and the features will be turned on.

How to delete pre-installed apps from Nokia Asha phones(501, 500, 502, 503, 230)

Its a good news for Asha Platform 1.0 users. After a long wait, A website Nokia Experts have came up with a trick to remove Pre-installed apps from Asha 5XX phones( 501, 500, 502, 503, 230). These phones have a major issue of low phone memory and this memory keeps on decreasing time to time. The users are forced to reset the phone after the memory reaches the limit. So the users must reset the phone once in every 2-3 months, for its smooth working.
Now with this new trick, you can uninstall/remove all those apps that came with the software update. These include Nimbuz, LinkedIn, Line, Wechat, Nokia Chat, Pocket apps etc. By removing, you can save upto 15-20MB of internal storage in your device. It will be a good idea to remove all apps  as you can install a ‘removable’ version later from Store. In this trick, a webpage bookmark is edited in which the path is changed, and the path leads to a hidden folder in the phone memory where you can see all files to be deleted.So before going onto the steps, I highly recommend you to take a backup of your settings as you will need to reset the phone in the last step.
The method below is tested in Asha 501 and is found 100 percent working. So even if you failed in the first try, don’t worry. I only did it in my second try. In any case, I won’t be responsible if any damage happen to your phone(trust me, nothing’s gonna happen).

STEPS 

First and foremost, you should have a text file in your memory card. You can transfer a text file from your PC or create with some apps. You can also create a text file online. To do this, open UC Browser and open this link(http://editpad.org) and download it to memory card.
* Rename the file to test.html using UC Browser’s file manager(menu>downloads>option>file manager).
* Close UC Browser and open In-built file manager.
* Open test.html and Xpress browser opens with a blank page.
* Swipe options and add to favourites.
* Now open favourites. Long press on the recently saved favourite and Edit Favourite.
* In the Address field, replace the text with “ file:///system_files/_system_applications/ “ .Now Save and close the browser.

* Again, open test.html with the In-built file manager.
* Now in Xpress browser, open the previous favourite. It will pop up an error (Not Enough Memory).
* Now swipe up the options menu and select Add to home.
Thats it, if you have done it right, there will be a new icon at the bottom of your home screen. Opening it will lead you to a hidden storage in the phone where all the pre-installed applications are saved. You can now delete the .JAR and .JAD files of apps that you wish to remove.
 
NOTE: If you deleted the files of Xpress browser, don’t worry. You can easily download it from download.browser.ovi.com
If you failed to do it in the first try you can also refer this page for a better understanding or just inform us in the comment section below or just connect with us on Facebook.

How to make an Android app easily for your website/blog and share it in an Application store

 

If you own a website, whether a business site, blog or any other type, at some point of time you might have searched in Google on How to increase your site's traffic. That is because traffic plays an important role in the sustainment of a website. You might be a person who have struggled a lot to get some traffic or someone who realized its importance just after reading this. Whoever you are keep in mind that you should always research on utilising available resources to gain traffic to your website. For your knowledge website traffic is mainly classified into three.

Types of website traffic

Direct Traffic

Direct traffic is that traffic you usually get from your regular readers.In other words,  if a person types your website URL directly in the browser to visit your website or use a bookmark, it is called direct traffic. In order to get such type of traffic you should keep in mind certain factors.

• Your domain should be something striking and easy to remember.
• Domain name should be related to your niche.
• Try to avoid using sub-domains.
• Avoid using long and confusing names

Sharing quality and useful posts regularly will eventually gain you some readers who contribute more to direct traffic.

Search Traffic

The traffic that you attain from different search engines are called Search Traffic. It is the most important source of traffic for your website. You will have to gain some knowledge in Search Engine Optimisation(SEO) in order to get properly benefitted from search engines like Google, Bing etc.

Other Traffic

All blog visits apart from Search and Direct sources will come under this classification. It can be from other blogs, forums, social networks or any other sources. YouTube can also plays a major role in building traffic as it is the most used search engine after Google. You will need to learn to use these services in an efficient way to make them generate traffic for you. Traffic from Android app also comes under this category. But developing an Android app is not at all easy as it sounds. You should have some programming skills in Java and certain other fields as well.And that is not everyone’s cup of tea. The next option available is to shed some money by hiring a developer to create an app for your site. That is the best option if you have enough fund. But what if you are on a tight budget or have no plan to hire a developer?  Then you are in the right place. Below you will learn to create a simple Android app to open your website link directly in a phone's browser. I bet this is the easiest method as it is done completely online and you won't need any coding or such stuffs.

Creating  an App

The app created will be more like a bookmark rather than a normal Android app. The end result will be an apk file that can be installed on any Android device. I have found half a dozen of websites for creating android apps online but i recommend the best one i’ve found. I prefer this because there won't be any Ads of the website in the app generated. Not just that, the app will be less that 100kb in size!

STEPS:

Open Makeapk.com in your browser. In the first pace you will notice that the site is not complicated at all. You can complete the whole process in the first page itself.

• Enter your website URL
• Enter title (this will be the name of the app)
• Give email ID
• Select a default icon or provide an icon of your choice.(if you don’t have an icon now just use any of the icons listed. I will explain an easy way to change the icon without corrupting the file).
• Press Submit and you are good to go. Simply download your official Android App.

Upload your App to an App store

That's it, you have just successfully created your Android app. You can now share your app with your friends or your regular readers. But its more important to share it in a reputed application store so that your app will be available to a whole lot of users worldwide. You can select any third party stores of your choice.

In case of Opera Mobile Store, you will need to create a developer account first. PRESS HERE to sign up for a free publisher account with Opera Store. Read the simple instructions to upload your apk file. Your app will be available for download after it is verified which usually takes 12 hours. You will be notified via email.



If you have created your First Android app for your app, you can share its link in the comment section below. Sharing is caring, so do share this with others.

Beware, Android malware NotCompaitable is back in action

Recently, Android smartphones worldwide are said to be affected new virus, NotCompaitable. As many of you may have heard of this malware before and this is not a new virus. This is an improved and dangerous version of NotCompaitable which first appeared in 2012. In this third version, the creators behind the bug have rewritten the code and that makes it harder to defeat. In this modern world, people spend more of their time with smartphones and tablets rather than using desktops. Activations of new Android devices per day are increasing at a huge rate which the hackers are well aware of. So this makes them aim to Android as well as iOS platforms.

The newer version of NotCompaitable found is as complex as malwares found in computers. The virus is being spread by spam and through various download sites that are hijacked. Mobile security firm Lookout reported that the new version is much more stable and uses end-to-end encryption, peer-to-peer networking and stealthy operating procedures which makes it hard to detect. The phones that enabled to install apps from unknown sources are more exposed to this threat. If you happen to land on an infected website while browsing with your phone browser, a file 'update.apk' will be downloaded and installed automatically. The phone may pops a notification for a security update. If the user grants permission, thinking that its just a normal security update, the virus will gain full control over your device. The phones affected are found to be sending spam emails, buying tickets on bulk, attacking blogs etc

. 

The rate of mobile malwares are rising as more time being spent on hand-held devices. They are normally spread through apps and games whose apk files are repacked with files that harm the device. Wirelurker, Masque, Dendroid etc are just three of a variety of malwares released worldwide. Android being an open source project, makes it less secure, especially the devices that have root access. In one way or the other, this just motivates the cyber criminals. They are keen to get access to other devices so that the user's data can be acquired without his consent or knowledge. This sensitive data can be used for various uses. Hackers can sell the data, use it for sending phishing emails or even get access to victim's bank account. It has been found that 70 percent of people reuses the password across different sites so it also helps hackers to access victim's social accounts.

How not to get affected ?

Always try to follow these simple steps while using your phone. Following these strictly will be an annoyance but what if you get a phone bill of $500 for bad SMS calls or lost $2000 from your bank account because your credit card details got stolen from your phone? I’d prefer getting annoyed with following some of these rules.

• Never Root/Jailbreak your smartphone if you are not much aware of it. Rooting may allow you to Superuser access but also strips away some essential security features.
• Only download apps from trusted app stores like Google Play, Amazon or 1Mobile but try to stick with Google Play.
• Be cautious when allowing permissions to the installed app.
• Try not to install cracked apps and games. These files may be repacked with harmful contents.
• Use an antivirus program in your phone. TrusttGo, LookOut, Norton are recommended.
• Try to update your phone software to latest version.
• Don’t use Banking and other private apps on public WiFi.
