Fix Windows 8 random freezing due to hard drive issue

2013-05-21T09:46:00.000+05:00

When we upgrade from older version of Windows to new Windows 8, many, including myself, have face the problem of freezing the PC randomly. This issue is normally caused due to bad file system in your hard drive, normally with system drive. If you already having the problem, and looking for some help, you might get many suggestions via google search as i did. However, i could not find better solution than this, which has totally fixed my problem.

Defraggler is a free powerful defragment tool that really does very in-depth defragmentation of hard drive and indivdual drives in your pc. While, Windows built-in defragment tool is still there, it did not fix freezing issue for me. As if you are looking for some fix, try Defraggler, as it worked so well for me. Once, downloaded, defragment all your hard drives. It might take longer time. Remember do a full defrag instead of quick defrag.

5 Minutes DIY test on Samsung Galaxy S4

2013-05-15T04:15:00.000+05:00

Samsung Galaxy S4, one of the latest smartphone on the row, is on many smartphone users focus. I like to share my 5 minute on-hand experience of Galaxy S4. I do not want to compare my test with any other smartphone, though, you might feel so during this article. Also please note that, this is not technical test but more like general user experience. FYI, i am an iPhone user!

1- Display

Galaxy S4 has a very fine display and high pixel density which brings up smooth and fine display. Colors are nice and natural. I would say, one of the finest display i have ever seen on a smartphone.

2- Scrolling

When it comes to all kinds of scrolling, swapping Apps screens, scrolling through contacts, it is more smoother than old Galaxy models, of course, but there comes minor hangs sometime. Like when i scroll through phone book it sometimes get short stuck but they are not remarkable. Overall, scrolling is not as smooth as i expected!

3- Camera

Photos from 13 megapixel camera on S4, looks very clear, fine, smooth and detailed. Camera zoom enables you to zoom the image into its every detail. With build in filters and modes, you can have many different types of images. One cool feature i noticed is that, you can attach the audio of surrounding of your environment where you take your snapshot. And of course there are more features as you know. But there is one thing i noticed as unsatisfied, which is, camera colors are not as bright as Note 2 or iPhone 5 when you shoot with camera. Though, as i said, picture quality is far more better than these two devices as it should be.

4- Eye motion detect.

As you have seen on Samsung Ads, and all over the internet, S4 got a so called smart features, which is detecting your eye motion and control video playback. This feature is really no use and it does not work so well for me. I would say it as a gimmick more than a smart feature. Though, i am sure Samsung will improve it in future.

5- Smart scrolling

Smart scrolling feature, where you can scroll a web page with the actions of your fingers over screen, without touching screen, seems to be annoying. The response is slow and it feels me like, i am crazy, moving my hand over phone, am i doing a magic!!

Conclusion

Overall, i would say Samsung Galaxy S4 is great phone, with faster response and bright display. It operates more smoother when compared to other Samsung Galaxy family members as it should be. This phone is great if you love Samsung and Android, and looking for faster and ideal sized phone. It is thin and lightweight and great on hand. If you only want buy it for its "so called" smart functions, i would recommend you to not to buy it.

Setup TPLINK Wireless Router on Dhiraagu ADSL connection!

2013-05-07T01:11:00.000+05:00

Trying to set up your new TP-LINK modem for Dhiraagu ADSL? It takes really simple 7 steps and about 10 mins for this.

Here, it is used TP-LINK Wireless and USB ADSL2+Modem Router. Model : TD-W8968. Though, i think all TP-LINK modems will work on these settings for Dhiraagu ADSL.

1- Once, your modem is connected to your ADSL line and PC, open your internet browser and go to modem setting using the address, normally it will be like http://192.168.1.1. Typing this address on your internet browser will bring up your modem's setting. You may need to log-in to go this setting. The default log-in for the setting on almost all the modems will be:

User name: Admin
Password: admin

2- Once you can get to the setting, go to "Quick setup". and choose "ADSL Modem Router Mode" as on below image:

3- Then go to "Next". and then enter VPI/VCI as for VPI 8 and VCI 35 as on below image:

4- Now set ADSL connection type as PPPoE. See image below.

5- Now set your ADSL user name and password on next page as image below:

6- Now setup your wireless setting. Set your desired name as wireless name and password. As shown in below image: When setting up wireless, make sure you setup country as +5GMT region, i.e: India, will be fine. ( Note: you cannot find Maldives in country list )

7- Now check if you have setup as below image:

If everything is ok, just "save" your setting and modem will reboot. After reboot, you should be perfectly connected to Dhiraagu ADSL connect with wifi.

If you still have questions, please leave a comment below.

Watch The Island President Online!

2012-07-01T11:23:00.001+05:00

Plot summary

THE ISLAND PRESIDENT tells the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced - the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. Nasheed brought democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule but he is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives and make them uninhabitable. A classic David and Goliath tale, THE ISLAND PRESIDENT captures Nasheed's battle to stop and reverse global warming, culminating in his trip to the Copenhagen Climate Sumitt in 2009 where the film provides a rare and unprecedented glimpse at Nasheed's electrifying and passionate behind the scenes exchanges with the heads of state attending this top-level global assembly. A film about one man's mission to save his nation and perhaps the planet, THE ISLAND PRESIDENT is a riveting, uplifting story that is impossible to take your eye off of.

Why cant i receive money with Paypal?

2011-12-21T07:25:00.002+05:00

Paypal is one of the world's most widely used, Online money payment service. We all appreciate their free service for a normal user like me. However, Paypal hes limited their services based on the country you are resided. Because of this policy, some users, like me, are unable to make full use of Paypal. The users from those countries are not eligible to Receive payments from other Paypal users. I did not know that i cannot Receive payments at the time of my registration to Paypal. There was neither an advice nor notification saying that i cannot recive payments. However they do have list of countries. It maybe my fault that i did not check the list. It was about 4 years back. At that time i was i need of selling some items on eBay, and i registered eBay seller account and i wasted some bucks on this as later i found that i cannot Receive Payments. So i thought that i would share this with you and this might be helpful to you. You can check what services you get from Paypal. Refer following links to learn about these information.
