Quick guide-mobile phone safety risks for children and Parents

Quick guide-mobile phone safety risks for children and Parents  

                                                Let me tell you  a joke that a hotel receptionist not responds to a visitor who is before her desk, as she is busy with phone calls, upon seeing that hotel reception number that person calls her and she responds to him and asks him to attend the hotel reception desk for more details, and that man says “all ready I am here”. 

This creative joke tells how communication devices are part of our lives and we all agree that we can’t live without them in our regular life. The technology always provides two options in any areas, one is the uses of it and the second one is how we use it! 

It is common that parents are facing regular demand from children to buy them a latest model. Economics of the parents place an important role in acceptance those demands. 

However there is a role of mobile phones in providing regular communication with our near and dear ones. In previous days we are not able to travel to our dear ones in regular basis. That postal department placed a crucial role in communicate with our dears and relatives. Of course those days are gone and we experienced a lot of connect with postal stamps and covering letters. Coming to now days it is everyone’s life part that having a communicating device is unavoidable. 

As we understand the communication importance, everyone is buying mobile phones according to their NEEDS. It is not wrong to buy a latest technology phone if it really places an important place in our office tasks and meeting. Of course coming out of the shop with latest mobile phone or receiving the delivery of our online order of mobile phone it is quite common that a latest mobile phone is coming into market or the price of the mobile phone you bought is dropped L 

While buying a mobile we have to also check for the antivirus software, and various apps that are useful for our needs (some apps provide the reference to unknown numbers and those apps helps us in knowing that whether that calls is worth to answer) 

Children concerns: children always think big and the discussion regarding buying a new mobile is also BIG! Days are like that can’t blame anyone. 

  Buying a mobile phone to children according to their need, wish is not a big deal if it is affordable. Yet some instructions from parents side to them as a helping aid or pre advice is necessary. Sometimes the communication through mobile phones misleading the situations and they are ended in panic. So. 

1. Advise them to properly charge the mobile device 

2. Don't answer to unknown or suspicious mobile number 

3. If any cyberbullying is going on them advise them to immediately to parents or proper persons near to them. (Most cases the cyberbully is a near known one / known through internet) 

4. It is not wise to give their mobile phone to other people. (We are responsible for the calls or messages going through our mobile phones) 

5. Don't give your mobile phone number or chat ids to unknown or Untrusted people. 

Parents can’t ignore: that mobile phones place an important role in being a socialized days so maybe the children feel they are getting to far from the friends if parent strictly ignore their needs and deeds. 

For parents: while buying a mobile phone for your parents  

1.tell them don’t answer any questions in conversation with calls that introduce themselves as bank or a specified authority and may ask for bank details like credit, debit card or the address where they are living by offering a gift hamper etc., 

Our lives are important gift than any other gift hampers. 

2. charging of a mobile phone is also important to them (in case of emergency we don’t have to the mobile charging low problems) 

So buy a mobile phone that offer a good charging promise. 

3. If latest phone or any understandable technical phone is bought for them they may place difficulty to get used to it. So the technology of the mobile phone needs to meet their needs. 

4. It is advisable that don’t change their mobile phones frequently with your phones. They may face some difficulties in changing models. So place a separate dedicated phone to them  

Let them have a good time with their mobile phone devices  

This concludes with mobile phone safety and risk factors for children and parents 

Hope this useful to you…if found any other things need to be added here don’t hesitate to comment bellow. 

Thanks for coming here and reading my views keep coming …have a nice day and hope some discounts on mobiles available to you while you are buying a mobile phone for your children or parents.  

Keep Smiling..:)

Mobile-mSpot for Android- Free mSpot software downloads for Android.

mSpot is the service that allows users to upload their own melody and then stream it to their computers and mobile phones. mSpot offers a music cloud service that lets you upload up to 2GB of music for free of charge and admittance it from any Wi-Fi-capable PC / mobile phone or Android gadget.

The mSpot app edge is clear-cut, with four tabs facing the apex of the display: one all for playlist, album, artist, and songs. In accumulation to any playlists you have saved on the mSpot Web server, the first tab also includes a Quick List that you can add to on the fly. The other tabs are self-explanatory, but it's worth mentioning that there's a handy "shuffle all" task at the apex of the song catalog.

MSpot's playback display is also pretty typical and clear-cut. Album art sits dead center and can be exaggerated to fill up more than half the display with a single hit. However, this will hide further functionality, such as shuffle and repeat options and the playback timer (a quick tap will shrink the art right back down, though). The currently playing track name is in large font at the top of the display with smaller artist and album info written under it. reins for playing/pausing music and shuttling through tracks line the base of the screen and are very quick to respond on the Android.

The application got few neat updates, including voice-activated playback via song/artist/album search for Android, ability to stream songs without actually storing them locally (for conserving space on SD cards) and support for USB side loading music files directly from your computer to the phone.

The 2GB of storage remains free but there’s also a new plan, offering up to 40GB of storage for $3.99 a month.

As a final point, in accumulation to Android, mSpot facility on various other platforms, iOS-based devices included.

P.S: For use of mSpot first you have to download the Uploader for widows or Mac. Once creating an account and grabbing the mSpot uploader application, you can upload precise music folders commencing the Finder or your complete iTunes library to mSpot’s servers .

Key in Proxy settings for access point in NOKIA S40 v2 v3

Key in Proxy settings for access point in NOKIA S40 v2 v3

As we all know, Nokia doesn't allow one to specify a proxy for an Access Point in Series 40 v2 and v3 phones (6131, 6133, 3110c , ) etc.

In its recent versions of the Series40 OS (v2 & v3), Nokia has removed the ability to specify a proxy server associated with an access point. Therefore, those with WAP network plans (such as TMobileWeb users, Airtel NOP users) are unable to use JAVA programs that require internet access (such as Opera Mini, Google Maps, , ).

However, Nokia does allow users to create a provisioning document on their computer. This document, created in wbxml, specifies an access point along with a proxy. The S40 phone recognizes the configuration settings in the document and allows the JAVA midlet to use those instead, thereby allowing the midlet to access the proxy. Its very simple to implement.

The files included in the zip provide some sample xml documents, and the associated provisioning (.prov) files.
Click here to download Nokia S40 proxy settings for JAVA applications ZIP file

figure it out yourself, genius.
NokiaJAVAProxy.wml: The wml file that you can edit if you need/want different proxy settings.
NokiaJAVAProxy.prov: The actual binary wbxml provisioning file that should be sent to your phone (via bluetooth or usb). This can NOT be manually edited.

---------------------------------
QUICK START:
1: Push the "NokiaJAVAProxy.prov" file to your phone using Bluetooth. send the file via "Send File, " option only do not copy paste to your phone ("object push", not file transfer). If your are unable to do it, just transfer it to any bluetooth supported phone and send that file via bluetooth to your phone.

2: The phone will recognize the configuration settings, and will prompt you to save them. Don't worry if it says "no supported applications".

3: Go to Settings->Configuration->Default Config. Settings, and change the default config to [the name of the configuration we just loaded].

That's it! JAVA midlets like Opera Mini, Google Maps, MGMaps, etc, should work now.

iSTETHOSCOPE

iStethoscope turns your iPhone into a stethoscope, allowing you to listen to your heatbeat and see your heart waveform, or listen to other quiet sounds around you. If you prefer to have no adverts and want the spectrogram option, try the professional version of the app: iStethoscope Pro.

Developed in collaboration with cardiologist researchers. For best results:

- Use good quality headphones (heart sounds are often too deep to hear using the white earphones).

- Press the microphone in the bottom of an iphone 3G, iphone 3G(S) or iphone 4 to your chest. A good place is the apex of your heart (below your left nipple).

- Place the microphone directly against the skin, not through a shirt.

- Take the iphone out of its protective case if you use one.

With practise you should be able to find a wonderful clear sound. Shake the iphone to hear the last 8 seconds and see a phonocardiograph display and a spectrogram. Press the little envelope and you can email the audio and the spectrogram image to anyone you like! Go to Settings and modify every major setting, including sample rate, audio delay, audio filters and accelerometer update frequency.

WARNING! It takes physicians years to learn how to use stethoscopes correctly and the iphone microphone is smaller than a conventional stethoscope diaphragm. You cannot place the microphone randomly and expect to hear your heart - you must place it very accurately. To hear your heart you must learn where to listen!



Six modes of operation:

• Mute

• Heartbeat pure (uses a clean low-pass filter to help 3G iphones work better, and to provide better clarity of sound).

• Heartbeat filtered (uses filters to enable you to hear your heartbeat clearly)

• Conversation (uses filters to make voices clearer and other sounds quieter)

• Clear Sound (minimal filtering to allow you to hear all quiet sounds)

• Accelerometer (maps G forces to audio to allow you to hear subsonic vibration.)

Plus:

• Shake-activated phonocardiograph! (Give the iphone a shake and listen to the last 8 seconds while watching the phonocardiograph display.)

• Email the audio. (On the phonocardiograph display screen, press the envelope in the corner and email your data. It's also a handy way to store your data locally in a folder of the Mail App.)

No one might imagine that mobiles will change the communication among people in various countries when they started their journey.

You can bank ,chat with your friend from video calling services(3G),play the latest games from the internet instead of those preinstalled in your mobile when you buy, or you can listen to your favorite music just by downloading from Apple iphone store or Nokia music store from their website.

We all should agree that a better browser is always good than a previous versioned browser to use the internet properly. Browsers Play an important role in downloading, browsing or any things you do on the internet with your smartphone.Browser to mobiles is just like a fresh breath to humans because with out internet we can’t breath a single day in our life (Which every one agrees as it is a must need today’s fast life) .

OperaMini is one among those browsers. Mobile Web Report released by Opera recently gives it a boost to itself as it is used by most of the users from Top 20 countries. Opera Mini was used by 66.5 million users, in August 2010 an increase of 6.8 % and 108 % unique users, when compared with the month of July.

1. Find a Page is outstanding when compare to Bolt 2 and UCBrowser 7 .

2.Inline and fullscreen editing a new 'long press' feature will be useful once you find familiar using it .

3. Downloading and uploading files on Opera Mini works as well. Currently there is some server issues because uploading fails sometimes.

Phone number and email address recognition, Possibility to add custom searches are also notable gains when using OperaMini.
