I dont buy into the iPad as a laptop replacement—not quite. But it is fantastic at tapping into your computers to access video and audio, documents, and even your full desktop, remotely. Heres how.
The iPad is first a foremost a device for consuming media, and where is most of your media if not on your desktop or laptop? All your videos, both self-created and downloaded; your music collection, which is so much larger than your iPads flash storage can dream of accomodating; your store of documents, which contain so much information about you, your work and your interests. On your iPad, this stuff is too often there, not here—but it doesnt have to be.
You can easily access all of these things from your iPad with a set of simple-to-use apps, and where those dont work, you can actually control your computer—mouse and all—from your iPad. Heres what you need:
Audio and Video
Audio and video streaming on the iPad is, for the time being, the domain of two apps: Air Video and StreamToMe. Theyre extremely similar, sharing their $3 price, iPhone compatibility, and an underlying video conversion library, but a few key differences will determine which one you need to download. So!
If you...
• Have a Windows PC • Dont need to stream audio • Tend to store your content in h.264/mp4 files
Go with Air Video. Its a wonderful app, which lets you stream video—even in formats not natively supported by the iPad—both locally and remotely (with simple port forwarding), and which has both Mac and PC server software. Its flexible as well, giving you precise control over streamed video quality, and options for either transcoding video live, or pre-converting it before streaming.
SEXPAND
h.264 playback, even in HD, seemed cleaner and bit smoother than in StreamToMe, so if youve ripped or downloaded most of your content in that format, Air Video is a slightly better choice. It transcodes your downloaded .avi file beautifully, too.
(Note there currently isnt a good DLNA streaming app, though once its bugs are worked out, PlugPlayer shows promise. For the time being, Air Video is the only way to stream and transcode your video library stored on a Windows PC)
If you...
• Have a Mac • Want to stream audio files as well
Then you should download StreamToMe. It too can transcode video in real time, so you dont need to worry about converting your home video files or P2P downloads. Its main advantage over Air Video is that it can stream audio. Itd be nice if the app had an iTunes-style artist view, but if your iTunes music folder is organized by artist name and album title (if you havent told it to do something else, iTunes will have taken care of this for you), navigating through and playing songs is pretty straightforward.
SEXPAND
The setup routines for both apps are nearly identical. Each requires a server app to be run on your computer, which needs to be pointed to your video library, and each will automatically recognize your computer over a local network. For remote streaming, each app provides guidance for which ports to forward on your router. (For instructions for your specific router, check here.) This means you can stream your home video from anywhere—work, a hotel room, whatever—over Wi-Fi.
Documents
Document sharing on the iPad isnt particularly easy, relying on the awkward iTunes file sharing system, which only lets you access documents in the app theyve been flagged for. To browse apps in a more useful way, youll need get an app called GoodReader. Its $1.
SEXPAND
GoodReader is an app that enables you to connect to all kinds of file servers, be they cloud-based (Google Docs, Dropbox, or MobileMe) or local (an FTP or WebDAV server). Once connected, GoodReader lists files that can be read on a given server, which are left up to the iPads inbuilt viewers to display. This means that Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, as well as a range of other text files, images, and even audio files, can be opened in the app.
SEXPAND
One of the most compelling features of GoodReader is that it can turn your iPad into a local file server, which you can mount and connect to from any Mac or PC. This feature lets you drag and drop your documents to the iPad, as if it were a NAS device. (GoodReader also shows up in the iTunes USB file transfer dialog, but Wi-Fi drag-and-drop transfer is much faster and easier, once its set up.) Instructions for server setup are available here.
Additionally, using the apps "Manage Files" pane, you can sort, administer and email your documents as well. Its basically like having a disk for all kinds of media, on your iPad, along with a file browser. Ha!
Controlling Your Desktop
If you want full access to your computer, video, audio and document file servers wont be enough. What about your applications? Your iPad-incompatible files? Your entire desktop? To get that kind of control, you need to use VNC.
From our previous How To guide on the subject:
VNC (virtual network computing) is one of those tricks that never gets old, and having it set up can often save your ass-whether you left some info on your home computer that you need at work, want to check on your massive BitTorrent queue to schedule the evenings entertainments, or help your poor parents use clip art in Microsoft Word, having remote access can be handy dandy.
For full setup instructions for Windows and OS X, follow our guide here.
Once youve done that, youll need an iPad VNC client. The iPad App Store already has a handful of VNC apps available for download. The ones Id go with are Mocha VNC Lite (a free, limited-capability app), and if you find you like the VNC concept, the $12 Desktop Connect.
SEXPAND
Its strange, controlling a mouse-based computer from a touchscreen device, but theres one option Ive found makes life a lot easier: In Desktop Connect, turn Touchscreen Mode off. This options has you control the mouse as if the whole touchscreen is a trackpad, rather than having to guide the mouse directly with your finger. After a few minutes, youll be clicking around Windows or OS X without thinking about it.
Most smart phone and smart android phones already have this feature built in to the phone. wi-Fi hotspot simple meaning wireless access point, Wi-Fi hotspot is sharing internet between wi-fi devices.
You have wi-fi hotspot device you can share internet connection to your friends smart phones, and other wi-fi enabled devices. Ex.smart phones, laptop, etc..,.
I am going to explain how to Active Wi-fi hotspot and how to share internet connection on your samsung galaxy y android phones.
You can follow these simple steps
Go to menu > settings > Wireless and networks.
Select Tethering and portable hotspot.
Select portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings.
Select Configure portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings.
Type Your Hotspot Network SSID Name.
Select Security type open > save
Select (Tic) portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Now you can share internet other WI-Fi enable devices. Enjoy.

Once in a while, a software bug in the kernel will cause a random reboot, so in order to help kernel developers to fix and troubleshoot the reboots, a kernel log need to be submitted to the developer for further analysis and hopefully lead to a bug fix.
Most Android kernels have "RAM Consoles" to save the necessary kernel logs immediately after reboot in the RAM. The users can then retrieve this RAM log on a subsequent reboot to submit to kernel developers. Here is a quick tour on how to do that.
[ Using ADB ]
adb shell
su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
File last_kmsg.txt will be located in the same location as adb.exe executable.
[ Using android terminal app ]
su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
File last_kmsg.txt will be located on your SD-card.
[ Using Root Explorer / ES Explorer with Root ]
go to /proc folder
copy last_kmsg to /sdcard/
rename last_kmsg to last_kmsg.txt
File last_kmsg.txt will be located on your SD-card.
The best method to share the last_kmsg.txt content is to upload it to pastebin.com and send a link to the developer.

One of the great benefits of using an open operating system like Android is the ability to customize it the way you want. You can change the default font to your favorite one, use a third party launcher and even install a new skin on your device without much trouble. Android also allows you to select the application that should complete an action for you. Indeed, if there are several applications that can, let’s say, play music files, Android will ask you which one you would rather use, be it for this time or all future files. In this post, we will show you how to select these applications and how to undo this selection to reset your default apps.
Like Us On Facebook Picking Your Default Apps If you have more than just one application on your device that supports a specific file type, you will be prompted to select which one you would like to use to open your file. This choice can be set to be permanent, in which case your device won’t ask you about it anymore, or a one-time selection. The latter simply means you’ll be asked the same question next time you open the same file type.
When several apps can open a file, Android will ask you which one you’d like to use
Let’s take a concrete example: On my Galaxy Note II, Google’s Play Music, Samsung’s Touchwiz Music and ES Music Player can play music files. When I open an audio file, my phone lets me select which application I would rather use to play the file. I have personally chosen not to set a default application, because I manually open the music player when I want to listen to my music, and not the file directly. Nevertheless, I particularly dislike Samsung’s default Gallery application, which I have replaced with QuickPic. In order to do so, I had to set QuickPic as my default application for photos. Thankfully, the process is particularly easy, as you simply have to select Always after you select the app to open your file, and your device will remember your choice and won’t ask you again. Similarly, I’ve selected Google Chrome to be my default browser instead of Samsung’s and I also had to tell Android to open all web pages with Chrome. For browsers, you may be prompted several times, as Android will recognize protocols — https:// etc — in addition to file types, which is why you may have to confirm your selection more than just once.
Resetting Your Selection
What happens if you try a new app and end up liking it more than your current browser? You would need to reset the default application before setting the new one as your default browser. The process is fairly simple, but somehow different from the approach you may be used to on your computer. Indeed, while most people are used to having a specific file type being associated to an application, Android associates an application with a file type. In simpler terms, this means that if you want to reset your default browser, you would need to reset the application settings for your current browser. Here’s how to do it:
Go to your Android Settings
Select Applications
Select the application that is currently set to open a file type — for example, Google Chrome
Scroll down to Launch by default and tap Clear defaults
You’re all set. Next time you open a web page or an HTML file, you’ll be asked to select your preferred browser.
Be careful, if your app is associated with several file types, they will all be reset. This holds particularly true for media players, as they can play audio and video files.
You can reset the Launch by default settings in the Application Manager
Wrapping Up
Thanks to Android, it’s easy to use several apps and select which one to use when opening a file. This allows for more flexibility, as some applications are more complete but take longer to load. Of course, if you’d like to stick to a single application, you can easily set your device to open a specific file type using that app. In both cases, you can truly customize your system and environment according to your preference and needs.
If you are a new user of Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and you wanted to upgrade your phones firmware to any latest updates, all you need is a personal computer or laptop and install a software program called KIES, you can download it via Samsung official support. You cant do it over the air or OTA like any other android smartphones by using software update option, Yes you can see a software update option in phone under settings and you need to specify your samsung account details as well.. but as of now its doesnt work on Samsung Galaxy S II I9100.
Aside from Kies update you can also manually upgrade the device by a way of using ODIN downloader tool and an original firmware.
This method is not recommended for beginners since it will cause some problems and sometimes mess up the phone, called bricking.
If you want to learn by this method you may visit XDA-developer, many advance users in there shares a useful tweaks and tips about Samsung Galaxy S II I900 firmware.
"Hi Friends, Please advise me How to connect my galaxy y phone internet to my PC using the Data cable."
This is my Friends E-mail. Most my friends ask me how to connect internet From android phone to PC or laptop. It is simple, You can follow below simple steps.
: Install SAMSUNG Kies Software Your PC or Laptop.
: Connect your android phone to PC or Laptop using Data cable.
: Go to your Android phone Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks
: Select Mobile Networks > Tic Use packet data
: Select Tethering and portable hotspot > Tic USB tethering
Now you can see your status bar blue icon and HSDPA icon. Now your android phone connected to internet. You can internet your PC or Laptop. Browsing and enjoy.
Probably every Android power-user at least once in his life used ADB - Android Debug Bridge. It is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device. Using ADB shell commands gives you additional control over your device and sometimes it can save your device from being bricked (example: How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device). You can find some more basic information about ADB here.
Since Android Jelly Bean there has been a new ADB mode available in the AOSP recovery, incorporated by the Android developer community into custom recoveries too. It is called "ADB sideload" and most of you probably have heard about it already. This is an alternate method to the one I wrote about here - How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device. The main difference is that ADB sideload works only with recoveries based on Jelly Bean source or newer. I believe that ADB sideload was created to simplify the process of flashing/restoring Android update.zip packages.
Keep in mind that while using ADB sideload, the regular ADB shell wont work. To be able to use SIDELOAD mode make sure youre running latest ADB drivers from the Android SDK (Platform-tools). Here are the simple steps you need to follow to flash update.zip package using adb sideload mode (based on stock Android recovery):
Place the ZIP package you want to install in the same location where you keep ADB drivers - adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (usually its SDKplatform-tools)
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Settings > Development on your device
Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the PC youre going to use
Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
Use the volume up/down keys to select "apply update from ADB," then press power to select it
Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm with ENTER:
cd /d <adb.exe location> (for example: cd /d c:SDKplatform-tools) or you can open your SDK/platform-tools folder, then press SHIFT button and the right-click mouse button and choose “Open command prompt here”
The zip package will begin installing. When its done, select "reboot system now."
How is that different from the alternative method? You dont have to manually create the proper folders structure, push the file and later install if from inside the recovery menu. The result is basically the same, because ADB sideload is also transferring the zip file into the device internal memory and later it automatically begins the installation procedure. However, it works only with recoveries based on Android Jelly Bean source.
