Factory Reset Your Samsung Galaxy S3

Just like with any other smartphone (or a computer device for that matter), the Galaxy S3 loses its performance over time, for a number of reasons. Unused apps, widgets, junk data (including photos, videos, browser history etc) and different programs clog up your smartphone’s Android OS over time, resulting in reduced performance.

By making sure you have the latest Android OS installed on your smartphone is all it takes usually to ensure a clean and well running system. But sometimes, even upgrading your OS might not solve your problem. In those cases, a factory reset becomes a necessity.

Apple 'white screen of death' fixed

Since Apple released  ios 7, its totally patched up working framework for the iphone, audits have been blended however basically positive. 

Nonetheless, a glitch that has quietly tormented iphone clients — the "white/black screen of death," a bug that suddenly delicate reboots the cell phone — will at last be tended to in a future ios 7 overhaul. 

"We have a fix in an approaching programming overhaul for a bug that can infrequently cause a home screen accident," Apple  spokesperson said. 

A percentage of the first reports of the glitch started to harvest up as unanticipated as September on Apple's talk discussions, and consequently showed up on different social media channels like Twitter. 

In view of different reports, the shade of the boot-up screen hinges on upon the color of your iphone's face. A white iphone face prepares a white boot up screen with a dark Apple logo, while a gadget with a dark face handles a dark screen with a white Apple logo. 

The glitch seems to influence any iphone running ios 7, with a few clients reporting that the sudden stopping happens once the iphone's electric cell dunks down into the 30% level. 

The upgrade is reputed to land nearby ios 7.1, which is at present in its fourth beta with engineers. Notwithstanding altering the "white screen of demise," ios 7.1 is relied upon to carry some minor UI and outline changes. 

What to Do Before Downloading ios 7 

When you download the new programming — which will be pushed to ios clients at some point throughout the day — there are a couple of basic things to do early on the off chance that there are bugs. The exact opposite thing you'd need is to have your portraits, music and different records wiped along the way. 

To download ios 7 effortless, the first stage is to go down your information by means of icloud. Apple actually backs up the most important data (if using iOS 5 or later) automatically, but the feature has to be enabled. To set this up, visit Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage. This will back up your iPhone on a daily basis as long as the device's screen is locked, on a Wi-Fi network and connected to power.

But before you download iOS, we suggest doing a manual back up. To do so, follow the same steps as above (Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage) and then click "Back Up Now."

It will take a bit of time to do a full backup, so just sit tight in the meantime. For those with a ton of data you might not be able to complete the backup — you'll have to either transfer files (photos, etc.) via an Apple connector to a computer, delete a few apps you haven't used in awhile, or make room elsewhere.

You'll probably run into the same issue when trying to update iOS 7 if your device is near storage capacity, so you might want to clean house now.

Another area worth backing up is your iTunes library. Connect your device to a computer to sync with iTunes, but note this might be disabled if you have iCloud backup turned on. RIght-click the device in iTunes under Devices and select Back Up. You can also back it up by clicking the file menu and select Devices > Back Up.

Will you be downloading iOS 7 when it launches or will you be waiting until possible bugs are updated?

Three tips to keep your mobile data safe

For setting harder password, enter any longer passcode every time you want to use your phone. Most of the people use six-character passcode. After crafting your passcode, tap “Turn Passcode On” and enter your password. You need to enter it twice to confirm it. Always consider activating the “Erase Data” setting available at the bottom of the passcode lock settings screen. After enabling it, your device will remove all data after ten failed passcode attempts. 



Well, Android users need to use a slight complex method. All Android devices go through the long disk-encryption process. This encryption can take almost an hour or more. Keep the battery charged. Before doing this, make sure this encryption is irreversible. In Android, you can tap “Encrypt phone” after reading the entire matter related to Android app encryption. If you don’t have any PIN or passcode already then create one first. For this, go to “Settings” > “Security” and tap “Screen lock” at the top of the page. From there, you can choose either a PIN or a password. When you are done with this, go to the encryption page again and tap “Encrypt phone”. Enter your PIN and then it will ask for your confirmation as it is not reversible. If you are ready then click “Encrypt phone” one last time. During the encryption process, your phone will reboot several times. Wait until you see the lock screen return.



Keep malware away



Android users are highly prone to malware and thus security is must. You must take help of various antiviruses like Avast, Kaspersky, and Lookout. They offer variety of security apps for Android so as to keep you safe online.
