New How to use your tablet as a computer screen monitor By Patricbensen

If you have a tablet that you no longer use (or in use), before sell or give, try this trick: use it as a monitor for your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer! This tutorial also works for http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphones, but the size of the tablets makes this more practical, you can always try if you own a phablet.

The way we will proceed to pass this tutorial is very simple, you only need to install a software on your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer and an application on your tablet. Each step will be described for you to succeed without worries. The software for your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer is Splashtop Streamer, available for http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/windows" target="_blank">Windows, Mac and Linux and the Extended Splashtop HD application is available for http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/android" target="_blank">Android, http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/iOs" target="_blank">iOS and http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/windows%20phone" target="_blank">Windows Phone.

Prerequisites:
- Having a tablet (or http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphone) http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/android" target="_blank">Android, http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/iOs" target="_blank">iOS or http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/windows%20phone" target="_blank">Windows Phone.
- A http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer running http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/windows" target="_blank">Windows, Mac OS or Linux.
- Having these two devices connected on the same network.

How to use your tablet as a second monitor for your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer:

- Download Splashtop Streamer.
- Install like any software, create a Splashtop account.

How to use your tablet as a computer screen monitor splashtop streamer

- Install Splashtop Extended Display HD application on the http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/android" target="_blank">Android device, if you have an iDevice use this free iOs version.
- To connect the two devices, create an access code, for this, return to the software in the Security tab:

- Return to the application on your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/android" target="_blank">Android or iDevice, enter the code created above.
- The http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer and the tablet are now connected.
- Configure the display, press on your tablet using 3 fingers, the Display Setup window should appear on the http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/computer" target="_blank">computer.
- Moving the second screen to the right or left of the first according to the tablet position.

Once connected, you can use your tablet to just keep an eye on one of your softwares or use the tablet itself to write text for example. The practical side of a tablet as a screen instead of a real monitor is the touch-screen (faster and more convenient).
The disadvantage of this solution is that it's only a trial (5 minutes continous connection), so do not hesitate to buy the full version if you need.

New How to save Smartphone if dropped in water ! By Patricbensen

"PLOUF! "Yes, that sound can trigger an impressive state of panic. A http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphone that falls into the water can turn into a big loss. Do not laugh! It could happen to anyone: a puddle of water that flows in your pocket, pool falls, fast toilet... When our smartphone takes water, at the time, it's always a little hysteria, we try a bit of everything and anything in haste, hoping to save his poor drowned smartphone.

By following these steps, you should be able to save its life. However, the method only works for devices that offer easy access to the battery and circuits, so with a removable back cover!
Here's how:
- Immediately remove the device from the water! Yes it seems logical but some users in panic, tend to do a little anything and do not necessarily have this first instinct.
- Remove the battery as soon as possible to avoid blowing up. Do the same with the SIM card and SD card.
- Mop up with your emergency kit (with towels and cotton swabs for smaller corners).
- Put your http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphone in a food sachet with rice! You can also add sachets of Silica Gel. Remember to expel air from the sachet. Rice and Silica Gel will absorb any moisture.
- Wait 48 to 72 hours before reopening the sachet. The longer you wait the better will be. Open the sachet and check if everything is dry. Restart the http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">phone to check that it works well.

How to save your smart phone if dropped in water

This method has proven successful but does not ensure saving 100% of http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphones. It works for water. Do not try to do the same thing if it fell into milk for example or any alcoholic or soft drink.
Finally be aware that even if the http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphone seems to work well, it will inevitably leave traces of oxidation in the device. Its life will be much shorter than if it were ever happened to it. And above all, be careful not to repeat the accident.

New Uninstall operators and manufacturers applications from an Android device By Patricbensen

The applications are a little bit the base of our http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /search/label/mobile" target="_blank">smartphones; without them they would be useless, but they are not all useful. Everyone has their way of using their smartphone and most annoying is having unnecessary elements that still taking up space. Operators apps are the best example, you want to know how to remove them?

Uninstall Manufacturer System Application

I will offer two radically different solutions below. The "soft" solution that is quick and easy to achieve, but that is not optimal. A "hard" solution is more complicated, but very effective. It will be up to you to choose the one you want to follow, the second allowing you to really remove your unwanted Android applications.

How to uninstall operators and manufacturers applications?

We'll start with the easiest solution to finish with the most complex, each step is explained and accompanied by image so that each of you can achieve easily. According to your phone, your experience may differ a little.

Disable your applications:

This solution will not allow you to uninstall applications called "systems" as those of your operator, but will make them invisible, non-functional. By disabling an application, you will not see its notifications and the icon will no longer appear in your applications list. You can disable and re-enable your applications at any time.
- Go to Settings on your Device
- Then, in the Applications section (Application Manager)
- Select the application you want to disable (or uninstall)
- Press Disable
- A warning message appears, click OK

Root your Android device:

Rooting your device seems complicated and dangerous, but it's not quite that. First, the root allows you to have all of the administrators rights on your phone, this allows you to full control and even have more features. Moreover, rooting phone does not remove the warranty of your smartphone.

http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /2015/03/root-any-android-device-manually-like.html" target="_blank">Root any Android device manually like a Pro!

How to uninstall applications on a Rooted Phone:

Once you http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /2015/03/root-your-android-phone-easily.html" target="_blank">root your phone, you can uninstall any application, be it that you downloaded, those of your operator and even of your Android system that you do not need. You will be free to do what you like on your phone. I'll show you a sample application that allows you to do this.

- Install System App Remover application (ROOT)
- Launch it
- Select the application (s) to uninstall
- Press Uninstall
- Validate the procedure by pressing YES

The application offers you two parts, User Applications and System Applications. The first part functions as the integrated application manager for Android and allows you to uninstall several more applications at once. The second part allows to get rid of your operator applications, your manufacturer and those integrated with Android.

Be careful not to uninstall anything, some system applications should especially not be uninstalled.
Luckily, System App Remover indicates each application's level of importance by messages like ''Should Keep'', orange for those you can uninstall and red for those that do not really need uninstall.

How to restore my deleted applications when needed

If necessary, uninstalled apps with this application (at least the system applications) are placed in a ''Recycle Bin''. If you have uninstalled an important application by mistake or you want to finally resume the application, you simply go to Recycle Bin and restore it. Here's how:
- Press the up trash icon
- Select the application (s) to be restored
- Press Restore
- Validate the procedure

restore deleted android system application

Of course, many other applications on the Play Store are used to do the same things, I chose this application because i find it very powerful and practical, moreover, it is very light and free. If you prefer to choose another application, do not forget to check if it allows you to exploit the root of your phone. This is usually written (ROOT) in the application name or in the description.

New Motorola Moto G 2015 : Another Budget Android Phone From Motorola, Specs, Price, Review And Buying Tips By Patricbensen

28th July 2015 Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation went on sale in 60 countries including US, UK and India. Whether you call it Moto G 2015, Moto G 3rd Generation or Moto G3, there shouldn’t be any confusion because all these three terms points to the newly launched upgraded version of Motorola Moto G that is dominating the budget android smartphone market with pure android experience since 2012. New Moto G is the only android smartphone after Nexus that gets at least one stock major pure android OS upgrade.

We have seen that how Moto G and Moto G 2014 performed well by selling quickly on major ecommerce sites and within few minutes went out of stock. Similar popularity, craze and performance is expected from Moto G3 also. If you own any of the Moto G or Moto G2 then you may want to upgrade to Moto G3, but we are going to tell you that doing so may not be much ‘satisfaction yeilding’ as far as you are aware of the Moto G3 specs. Check http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /2015/12/motorola-moto-g3rd-gen-2015-xt1550-review-hands-on.html">Moto G 3rd Generation Unboxing and Hands On

Moto G Different Models

XT1540 (Unlocked US Version GSM Variant).
XT1548 (Sprint Prepaid, US Cellular, Virgin Mobile).
XT1550 ( Indian Moto G 2015 Model).
XT1541 (Possibly AT&T and Verizon).

Motorola Moto G 2015 : Specs, Price And Tips To Upgrade

1. Processor : Moto G3 features a qualcomm snapdragon 410 chipset with a Quad-Core 1.4 GHz cortex A-53 64 bit CPU. While the Moto G2 has qualcomm snapdragon 400 chipset with a Quad-Core 1.2 GHz cortex A-7 32 bit CPU. So the upgraded version of Motorola Moto G in 2015 can process data at double speed than its previous generation. So, processing speed is remarkable and has got a serious upgrade than the previous versions. The processing speed can be seen while browsing, gaming or exploring the phone. The Moto G 2015 incorporates Snapdragon MSM8916 410 chipset which is just the next step ahead of Snapdragon 400, only giving support to 64-bit cpu, rest the specs of both these chipsets are nearly same.

Upgrade Tip : I admit that Moto G3 comes with a powerful 64 bit processor which is a common thing today in android smartphones. It is the currently best budget 64-bit android phone beating its previous generations in processing speed. It is cheaper than ASUS Zenfone 2 with a 64-bit Intel Atom processor. If you are looking for a budget 64-bit android phone then I would definitely recommend it to you.

2. GPU : Moto G 2015 has Adreno 306 400 MHz GPU. The GPU is the upgraded version of Adreno 305. So, gaming on Moto G will be smooth and you can play most heavy graphics hungary android games without lags.

3. RAM & Storage : Moto G3 comes in two variants. One is 1 GB RAM model and other one is 2 GB RAM model. The one with 1 GB RAM comes with 8 GB internal storage out of which around 3.1 GB would be available to user to install apps and mass storage. While the 2 GB RAM model comes with 16 GB internal storage, out of which 9.1 GB is available to user for installing apps. The storage can be further upgraded to 32 GB via a micro SD card. If Moto G 2015 somehow gets an android M upgrade then the low storage issues will be gone forever, because android M has a special feature in which it can use the Sdcard as internal storage. Suppose if your are using a 16 GB model and 32 GB sdcard then total internal storage space would be 48 GB.

Upgrade Tip : If you are upgrading from Moto G2 then go for the 2GB/16GB model as you won’t run of space and RAM easily. Likewise a 64-bit android CPU, 2GB RAM has become generic today. So, opting for a phone having 2GB RAM makes it future proof to deliver faster performance.

4. Camera : Moto G 3rd Generation features a 13 MP rear camera with a dual tone color balancing LED flash. The camera resolution is 4128x3096 pixels. It can record Full HD (1920x1080) videos at 30 fps. The selfie-shooter is a 5 MP auto HDR champion which won’t let you down. At this price don’t expect front LED flash. You can also record HD videos from selfie-shooter camera. Some other camera features include slow motion video, Active viewfinder (recognizes QR codes and barcodes), Quick Capture (twist wrist to launch camera), Tap anywhere to capture.

Front facing camera’s features include Display Flash (Use screen as LED Flash for selfies), burst mode, slow motion video, 4x digital zoom, quick capture etc.

Upgrade Tip : Both the previous versions are missing a much appealing camera found in Moto G3, a stunning 13 MP camera with a color balancing dual tone LED flash. 5 MP auto HDR selfie camera is also an advantage over the previous versions. If you are not satisfied with previous generation cameras of Moto G then Moto G3 should be your affordable choice.

5. Display : If we compare the display of Moto G2 and Moto G3 then we won’t find any remarkable changes. As the second and third generations both have a IPS display with a HD resolution 1280x720 pixels with 294 ppi pixel density. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which provides scratch resistant protection. Yes we were expecting a full HD resolution in Moto G3 but unfortunately what we expect doesn’t always happen. But don’t worry there are still other new features that compensate this similar feature.

Upgrade Tip : The first generation Moto G had 326 ppi on a 4.7 inch IPS display with HD resolution. Both the second generation and 3rd gen has same display with 294 ppi. But also don’t forget that Moto G1 has 4.7 inch screen while the next two variants have 5 inch screen, so the display specs are balanced in all the three versions. Another reason for upgrading is a 5 inch IPS touchscreen that every body wants today in any android phone. You can play Full HD 1080p videos in Moto G 2015.

6. Water Resistance : The latest Motorola Moto G 2015 is IPX7 certified, which means it is water resistant upto 1 meter deep under water for 30 minutes if the back cover is properly installed. For me this feature is not much useful. Think yourself why would you need to put your phone 1 meter deep under water for 30 minutes, but don't worry the feature is for preventing damages caused to accidental drops in water. I have owned over half a dozen of android phones in the past and have driven in heavy rainfalls but never felt that my phone should be waterproof because I always carried a water-tight plastic bag to save the phone.

The feature is useless unless you go in rain or drop the phone in water accidently or intentionally. There won't be rain everyday and you will not drop your phone in water everyday, but dust is something that will accumulate over the phone 365 days a year. Instead of IPX7 Motorola should have given IPX58 rating to this Moto G3 which makes the phone dust-proof. Because it is not water which is the ultimate foe of android smartphone, it is the dust. A dust-proof phone looks more cleaner and is free from dust originated malfunctions, also dust particles reduces the call quality of phone. Also in place of IPX7 we could have gotten a Full HD screen.

Upgrade Tip : The IPX7 certified Moto G3 is water resistance, so it may look useful to some and useless to some others. Because this is the newesr feature that is only available in Moto G 2015. Users never expected Moto G to be water resistant over a Full HD resolution. In this case we can’t suggest you to upgrade, because you have to decide yourself whether IPX7 water resistance is useful to you or not. But it is still a good feature to phone owners who have a habit of dropping their phones in water. The feature is still useless to owners who handle their phones with extreme care.

7. Pure Android OS : This is something that you can’t neglect and this is what that every phone owner wants in his/her phone. It is the latest android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS. The Moto G3 is launched with latest android 5.1.1 Lollipop and is guaranteed to get the next major android OS upgrade. I am not sure whether it will get http://patricbensen.blogspot.com /2015/05/android-m-preview-release-date-and-new-features.html" target="_blank">android M upgrade or not but it will still get the next major android OS upgrade via OTA, but who knows if it comes out to be android M or something else.

Upgrade Tip : I would definitely recommend Moto G3 for the sake of pure android 5.1.1 Lollipop as it is always free from useless bloatware apps that can’t be removed and even slow down the phone. Moto G is the only budget phone that runs the pure android OS and is guaranteed to get major updates just like Google Nexus devices. None of the previous generation Moto G phones is upgradable to android 5.1.1 and neither getting the next major android OS upgrade.

8. 4G LTE Network : You can enjoy 150 Mbps high speed data network with Moto G3’s 4G LTE network. There were times when 3G was considered to be a new generation of network for android phones, now it is getting slower day by day and 4G is gaining success in smartphones.

9. Dual SIM : Moto G3 features Dual SIM. Only one SIM supports 4G LTE, the other being a GSM SIM. The new Moto G (3rd Gen) learns your calling patterns to determine the best SIM to use for an outgoing call.

10. Battery : The battery is non-removable 2470 mAh that can easily go for a whole day (24 hrs) without re-charging. The battery is promising because the phone doesn’t contain much bloatware. Also the battery saver feature will help you take out more battery backup from your Moto G3. It also supports turbo fast charging.

11. Connectivity : Moto G3 has all the basic connectivity features like Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 (b/g/n), GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, Beidou). It doesn’t have NFC for screen mirroring. It has micro USB support and OTG function.

12. Sensors : Moto G3 has Accelerometer, Proximity, Ambient light sensor and Sensor Hub. A sensor hub is a microcontroller unit/coprocessor/DSP that helps to integrate data from different sensors and process them. This technology can help off-load these jobs from a product's main central processing unit, thus saving battery consumption and providing a performance improvement. It is missing digital compass and gyro sensor.

Notifications at a glance : Moto Display lets you preview notifications and updates. Decide which ones you want to see. Play and pause music without unlocking your phone.
Customisation : The Moto G3 is fully customisable with Motorola shells. You can also separately buy a Motorola flip shell that will protect front and the back of the phone.
Double Karate Chop For Torch : Make a double karate chop motion to turn the torch ON/OFF.
Twist For Quick Capture : Hold the phone and twist your wrist twice to open the camera at any time.

Why To Buy

If you never owned any of the Moto G and want an affordable android phone with pure android experience with such a good quality hardware, larger screen, better cameras and finally 2GB RAM and a 64-bit CPU. This phone can prove itself as a budget android gaming powerhouse. So it is highly recommended for first time owners of Moto G. But only buy the 2GB RAM/16 GB model if you want to run heavy games and lots of apps, otherwise the 1 GB RAM/8 GB model is enough.

Should You Upgrade From Moto G First Generation

Yes definitely if Moto G 1st Gen is still your current phone and you want to upgrade with another budget android phone that is giving awesome piece of hardware and software specifications. Choose your model wisely as there is not much money difference between the 8 GB and 16 GB model. I would suggest you th 16 GB model with 2 GB RAM.

Should You Upgrade From Moto G Second Generation

It completely depends on the user. If you want to try out something new with a new android phone then you should buy it. If you want better cameras, latest android OS, a 5 MP selfie camera, a budget water resistant phone, 2 GB RAM, 64-bit android CPU, a better GPU to run games, 4G LTE, larger battery backup.

Suppose if I owned a Moto G2 then I would be upgrading to Moto G3 for 2 GB RAM, 13 MP and 5 MP cameras, stock bloatware free android 5.1.1 Lollipop with a guaranteed major upgrade, 64-bit CPU, larger battery backup (24 hours), double the internal storage. I don’t find usefulness of water resistance.

Double the amount of RAM, double the amount of internal storage, a 64-bit qualcomm snapdragon CPU with Adreno 306 GPU, Full HD cameras and most of all bloatware free stock android 5.1.1 Lollipop are the reason for which I will definitely upgrade to Moto G 2015. Now its your duty to find your reasons for upgrade and don’t upgrade only for its IPX7 water resistance feature, as this feature is useless for people who handle their phones with extreme care.

What’s Really Is Missing

A Full HD screen.
IP58 could have been better in place of IPX7. IP58 is dust proof.

Reasons To Buy Moto G 3rd Gen

If you want a budget android phone with decent hardware specifications like 64-bit cpu, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage, 13 MP and 5 MP cameras, 5 inch large screen with Gorilla glass 3 protection.
If you want to experience pure android OS without bloatware apps. And also want to put your hands on the next major android update.
If you can’t afford Google Nexus and want a similar budget phone.
A water-proof android phone.
Want some unique software features that most android smartphones fail to provide.
A budget android smartphone that can play heavy android games.
A phone with a good battery backup and turbo fast charging enabled.

Verdict

Motorola Moto G 2015 is a budget android phone with pure and latest android 5.1.1 Lollipop with a decent set of hardware. A better battery that can stay alive for around 24 hours during mixed usage. A guaranteed upgrade to upcoming major android update. 13 MP rear camera has the ability to take sharp and detailed images with darker blacks and brighter whites, even low light photography will yield good photos. It is water resistant, has double the amount of RAM and storage from its previous generations. Don’t forget the power of 4G that can reach speeds upto 150 Mbps. Moto G3 can be yours $187 dollars for the 8 GB model and $203 dollars for the 16 GB model. Choose your model wisely.

Rivals

Lenovo K3 Note is the only rival that can be bought for $156 dollars. It sports an Octa-core MediaTek CPU. The only drawback is that Lenovo phones hardly get any software upgrades and secondly the phone is full of useless bloatware apps that can't be removed. It doesn't run pure android OS, but has a full HD 5.5 inch screen. It also has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. If you can handle some bloatware apps then Lenovo K3 Note is the best option over Moto G 3rd Gen.

Motorola Moto G 2015 Price

The price of Moto G 2015 in US will be $179 dollars. The latest Moto G has a UK RRP of £159 from retailers such as Amazon, but prices start at £179 for 8GB and £209 for 16GB on Moto Maker. MobileFun is taking pre-orders on the new Moto G (8GB, black) today at £159.99. In India it is available on Flipkart.
