It was initially released on July 30, 2015, as the original Ethereum and still maintains the unaltered history of the Ethereum network. </p><p>It is a decentralized open-source, blockchain-based that supports a modified version of Satoshi Nakomoto's (BTC) consensus(PoW- Proof of Work) via transaction-based state transitions executed on a public Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with just one key difference: the ability to be used as a distributed computer to run self-executing smart contracts. </p><div>The ability to run self-executing smart contracts made it distinct and a couple of projects and developers made good use of it, until 2016 when a project called The DAO was hacked.</div><div><br /></div><div>A german startup named Slock.it launched a project on Ethereum Classic (which was Ethereum then) called The DAO on April 30, 2016, and had raised over $150 million from over 11,000 investors within three weeks of the token sale making it one of the largest crowdfunding campaigns in history at the time. However, this feat was quickly shortlived when an attacker discovered there was a bug that made the smart contract vulnerable and began siphoning funds from The DAO stealing over $50 million. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Without further ado, a lot of Ethereum users including the founders supported a soft fork in the blockchain's base protocol or a hard fork. This resulted in the formation of the new Ethereum chain.</div><div><br /></div><div>However a section of the community remained opposed to the fork and chose instead to stand by the principle of "Code is Law", and as such the old chain remained and was renamed Ethereum Classic, while the new one which is an offset of the original chain became the Ethereum (ETH) that now exists.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ever since the split of the chain happened due to the hack, a lot of crypto analysts and researchers have labeled ETC as a "dead project" that will never develop or outgrow Ethereum, however, there has been continuity of updates on the ETC chain over the years, and a couple of projects have found the chain very useful still in building their products. </div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #010304; font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #010304; font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;">Credit source(s):</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #010304; font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blog-eu.bitflyer.com/what-is-ethereum-classic/">What is Ethereum Classic?

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>No bootable image found, notebook will be shut down </b>is commonly caused by irregular entries in the Windows registry or incorrectly configured system settings. Some other reasons include corrupted and damaged system partition or even missing files in the system partition.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Seeing that windows fail to boot can be stressful and provoking especially when you in the middle of something that needs be done urgently, but there are several ways on how boot errors can be fixed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are different types of boot errors asides the above mentioned depending on its cause which are;</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Reboot and select proper boot device</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Missing operating system</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Invalid partition table and even no <b>bootable disk found</b></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Please take note that no bootable image found is not the same as no bootable disk found.</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Depending on the type of error and how severe it is, some version of windows can recover from these problems by automatically running a startup repair. Other ways include the use of physical disc (this happens if some computers do not have a recovery partition).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bootable image not found is not much of a serious problem as I will be showing you how to fix the error and make your computer work properly again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>How to fix no bootable image found, notebook will be shut down</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once you see this on your startup screen, repeatedly press the f10 key (BIOS Setup). This might not work at first as your PC might shut down really fast but don't worry, turn it back on and press the f10 repeatedly until the BIOS setup screen shows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Depending on the PC the BIOS Setup could come up as <b>MAIN, SECURITY, ADVANCED, </b>while in most PC's its always as<b> FILE, SECURITY, SYSTEM CONFIGURATION(mostly for windows 10 users).</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Navigate to System Configuration, untick the <b>Secure Boot, </b>and then select <b>Legacy </b>as boot option.<b> </b>Please do be careful at this point and make sure you select <b>Legacy </b>because failure to select the right option could lead to your PC developing a severe fault or even crashing completely.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then save and exit and that's it, your windows 10 automatically shuts down and is restored and comes back online.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I personally had this challenge on my PC and this was the same method i used to resolve the issue. It wasn't easy as I never had encountered that before. I had difficulty with understanding how to go about due to different solutions published on different sites but fortunately, a friend helped out and such I have decided to share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE: The above solution would work if the reason for the boot error is a minor and not a severe cause.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">When your computer is connected to a VPN, the computer acts as if it's also on the same network as the VPN. All of your online traffic is transferred over a secure connection to the VPN. The computer will then behave as if it's on that network, allowing you to securely gain access to local network resources. Regardless of your location, you'll be given permission to use the internet as if you were present at the VPN's location. This can be extremely beneficial for individuals using public Wi-Fi.</span></span></span></div>

different and your traffic is encrypted in a tunnel doesn't mean you
can't be tracked. There are other ways people can track you. For
example:</span></span> </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Hackers can find who you are by doxing(</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">search for and publish private or identifying

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">your IP isn't the only thing that identifies you on the internet</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">your VPN service can see your IP and what you are doing and if hacked or owned by someone who wants to find you they can</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">they can install malware that is hard to detect and can be installed
without you knowing, which means your info will be leaked from the
malware</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">your VPN can leak your real IP at times. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">You can also be located by allowing visited websites, third-party apps to access your location. For example, if you are currently making use of a VPN app and you visit a site like <a href="https://www.where-am-i.net/">https://www.where-am-i.net</a>. , a notification pops up requesting you to allow location access, once you do your location becomes visible. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I
recommend you still use a VPN because it is another layer of security,

Multi-Window Support</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Android N adds support for multi-window which allow users to open two
apps on the screen at once and run them side-by-side or
one-above-the-other in split screen mode. The company has also added
resize option for apps which can be done by dragging the divider between
them. Apart from the multi-window support, Google says that users on
Android TV devices will be able to put apps in picture-in-picture mode,
which will allow them to continue showing content while the user browses
or interacts with other apps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Project Svelte Background Optimizations</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With Android N, Google introduced a project called ‘Project Svelte’
which is an effort to optimize the way apps run in the background. The
new project is focused on optimizing the RAM usage by the apps and the
system. The company is doing this by removing three intent broadcasts,
which could wake up multiple apps at once thereby conserving battery
life and increasing memory usage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Number Blocking</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Android N is coming up with native number blocking feature which
allow users to block the number at the system level. It provides a
framework API to let service providers maintain a blocked-number list.
The default SMS app, the default phone app, and provider apps can read
from and write to the blocked-number list.</span><br />

Call Screening</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The dialer app on Android N also supports call screening, which not
only lets you reject calls from telemarketers & spammers but also
make sure that those calls don’t reach your call log or your
notifications.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like previous versions of Android, the final consumer version of Android
N won’t land until later in the year, usually around October, but you
can <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">download</span> the developer preview now if you have a Nexus Phone like Nexus 5x, 6, 6P, 9, Nexus Player, or Pixel C tablet.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Data Saver</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Data Saver is a new feature that helps reduce cellular data use by
apps. When enabled, the system will block background data and will also
signal apps to use less data in the foreground wherever possible. Users
will also get an option to select specific apps to run in the background
and use data even when Data Saver mode is enabled. So if you don’t have
access to a Wi-Fi connection all day and don’t want your device using a
bunch of data while you’re not using your phone, this new feature is
for you.</span><br />

Enhanced Doze Mode</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Google introduced Doze, a feature mode that saved battery when the
device is idle, in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Previously, the feature had
only worked when the phone had remained completely undisturbed for a
long time, for instance, when you’re sleeping, but now Google says Doze
will also save battery any time the screen is turned off. It points out
that on turning the screen on or plugging in the device will bring the
device out of Doze automatically. This will help the device to improve
the battery life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just like Apple’s recently released ‘Night Shift’ mode in iOS 9.3,
the Night Mode in Android N allows users to adjust the screen
temperature for ease of use at night. The night mode in Android N
enables user dark theme across the device during night. It also applies a
yellowish tint in order to suppress the blue light coming from the
display. The feature also lowers brightness automatically depending on
the time of the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can set your phone to switch on night mode automatically, and you
can even choose to use a dark theme instead of Android N’s standard
black-text-on-white look. To enable it, go to <strong>Settings</strong> -> <strong>System UI Tuner</strong> -> <strong>Color and appearance</strong> -> <strong>Night mode</strong>.</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
We all experience different Google Play Store problem at some point or the other. The problem could occur as a result of an error message when downloading apps, or Play Store not opening at all, and sometimes it's always frustrating getting all sorts of error messages on your phone.<br />
Most users are tired and do not know how exactly to fix this issue. Provided you follow the below tips you shouldn't have any issue about Google Play Store not working on your phone anymore.<br />
Below are ways to make Google Play Store run smoothly on your device when it doesn't work on your Android phone. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. Clear the Google Play Store Cache</h3>
<br />
In minor cases, you can get the Play Store running smoothly again by just clearing the cache. The cache is simply a storage area which temporarily holds data so it can be quickly retrieved without the need for reload. Clearing the cache can actually solve the problem on your phone. <br />
Firstly, navigate to<i> Settings > Apps > Application manager</i> ( depends on your device though). From there scroll down and tap <i>Clear Cache</i> or you might have to go to <i>Storage </i>and then <i>Clear Cache. </i><br />
Upon completion of this, navigate to Google Play Store and see if the problem is solved, if it's not, then try any of the below tips here. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
2. Clear/ delete Play Store data</h3>
<br />
Deleting your Play Store data is quite similar to the first step but erases quite a bit more, as it sets the app back to square one and deletes all of your saved information, including any issue that might have caused the problem on your phone. <br />
You have to take note that you need to backup all your information as files, settings, accounts, databases and other information of sort will be erased and also have the login information for the,, account as it will be taken off the Google Play Store account. <br />
To do this, navigate to <i>Settings > Apps/Application manager</i>. From there<i> Clear data</i>, or go to <i>Storage </i>first then <i>Clear data. </i><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
3. Clear data and cache on Google Play Services </h3>
<br />
There's every possibility that Play Store problems could come issues with Google Play Services. For example Google Play is the body of your Android device then, Google Play Services is its soul. Play Services is responsible for background processes that allows apps to communicate with different parts of your device, allowing them to sync, send push notifications and many more. So to say, if after clearing the cache on Google play store doesn't resolve the issue, then there might be need to go to Google Play Services and do same too.<br />
To do this, go t<i>o Settings > Apps and find Google Play services app</i>. Depending on the type of device, you should be able to hit the Clear cache button, and if it doesn't help still, come back to Google play services and tap Manage space/ manage storage then click on Clear data. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. Installation of latest Google Play Services version </h3>
<br />
This aspect might also help as such you are advised to download and install the latest version of Google Play Services on your phone, as the current version of the software tends to be the most stable. So you are advised to keep it updated. <br />
<br />
<h3>
5. Enable Download Manager</h3>
<br />
There's every chance that Play Store on your phone will stop working if the download manager on your phone is disabled. To enable it, navigate to <i>Settings > Apps/Application manager > All ^ Download manager.</i><br />
<b>Note:</b> if Download Manager is disabled, you will see a button marked with Enable, so simply tap to switch Download manager back on. Likewise if all you see are force stop and disable buttons then it means Download Manage is enabled. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
6. Reset factory data on your smartphone</h3>
<br />
If none of the above steps seem not to work, then performing a factory reset will be a better option, as you are advised to back up all your useful data and information before doing this as all information and data will be lost.<br />
To do this, navigate to<i> Settings > Backup & reset</i>, and make sure the slider for Backup my data is on. Click <i>Backup account </i>to select which account you want your data backed up to.<br />
Once this is done, go to the <i>Backup & reset menu</i> and tap the <i>Factory data reset</i> button at the bottom. Confirm to do this and your phone is back as new. All of your data will be restored when you log in back into your Google account. <br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
7. Reset your Google account on your phone</h3>
<br />
If your Play Store app isn't working, then refreshing your Google account on your Android device will be a better option. This means that your Google account on your phone will be reset and not just in the Google Play Store. Make sure you know the acount(s) before you do this as you may lose the entire account if care is not taken.<br />
To do this, go to <i>Settings > Accounts</i>. Then tap the Google account you so wish to remove, then click the menu icon( hamburger icon at the top right) and tap<i> Remove account</i>. You can do this for every Google account on your device. <br />
To re enter your Google account, go to <i>Settings > Account</i>. The only thing you get to see here now is Add account, so if you see an account there then it means you forgot to remove one. Click on the Add Account and follow the on-screen steps to re add your account. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
8. Rooted users: edit hosts file</h3>
<br />
If you using a Rooted device and Play Store has refused to work on your device, you can modify your host file for a quick fix. <br />
Go to your preferred file manager, go to system/etc/hosts and select the Edit option( though varies between devices) <br />
Add a hashtag(#) to the front of the second set of numbers and save your changes(i.e change 124.0.0.1 to #124.0.0.1) and reboot your device. Re add your Google account and your Google Play Store problems should be solved.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
There are mostly two error messages that affects an Android phone especially the ones running on the Android KitKat OS, which are: "com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" and "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped".<br />
<br />
These error messages can be sometimes frustrating as they appear whenever you doing something important on your phone and hence you won't be able to continue with it.<br />
<br />
The two error messages actually mean the same except for the fact it could come in either of the two messages on your Android and quite much easy to resolve. Below are ways to fix the issue. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Clear Cache for the app causing the error message</h3>
<br />
While making use of a particular app on your phone, if you notice that the error message pops up for every time you try to launch the app, there are chances that the app is the cause of the problem<br />
<br />
Navigate to <i>Settings > Apps and find app in question</i>. Click the app and on the following page tap Clear Cache. <br />
<br />
If this still doesn't help, you can try clearing the data for the app too. But do take note that you will lose any chat conversation or game process, so you might want to backup your data first. Above the Clear Cache you will find the Clear data button.<br />
<br />
If any of the above solution doesn't work, the next step would be to try uninstalling the app( which can be done from the same page as clearing the cache and data) and then reinstalling later. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bFgQn_13qxxgB3Iux9zpsT80M8FAthsAqcuimuYnzVj4wbrGC4PnbJpPGu91y1DTZs1M4B3MY5w9Wwh2Wyqw49B9U0qvzXwUfNHP104ayNtmNR9O9A7-v8soJ8-NSS7n1KMGJCr_Dhk/s1600/tobecanedidblog+error+process+android.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How to fix the process issue/error: com.google.process.gapps has stopped " border="0" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bFgQn_13qxxgB3Iux9zpsT80M8FAthsAqcuimuYnzVj4wbrGC4PnbJpPGu91y1DTZs1M4B3MY5w9Wwh2Wyqw49B9U0qvzXwUfNHP104ayNtmNR9O9A7-v8soJ8-NSS7n1KMGJCr_Dhk/s400/tobecanedidblog+error+process+android.jpg" title="How to fix the process issue/error: com.google.process.gapps " width="400" /></a></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Clear Google Play Services data</b></h3>
<br />
Here is another solution to try out if clearing cache and data for a particular app or uninstalling doesn't work. This can be done by removing all of your Google Play Services data.<br />
<br />
This process will delete your Google Play services settings and preferences but don't worry they are easy to assign again later as you wouldn't even notice.<br />
<br />
Now, navigate to <i>Settings > Apps > Google Play Services</i>. On the App info page, you will see the Manage space button, then tap it. <br />
On the screen next to it click Clear all data, as you will receive a warning message asking if you wish to permanently delete the data. Tap OK to proceed.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Reset app preferences</h3>
<br />
Another method of fixing the error message is by navigating to Settings > Apps > All and reset the app preferences( found via three dots or hamburger icon).<br />
<br />
By doing this, all of your app settings are back to beginning, but any app data won't be deleted. Which simply means, any saved progress won't be lost. <br />
<br />
Did any of these tips helped you fix the problem? How often do you see this error message? Let's know in the comments.<br />

Every Android smartphone( Android 6.0 Marshmallow) supports Google Now, but some users of android do not know what it is actually and how it works. However, Google Now is known to be an intelligent personal assistant developed by Google, which is available in Google search mobile application for Android and iOS as well as on Google Chrome Web browser on personal computers. <br />
It was developed to actually ease and help users in surfing search results and other features on Google. <br />
Some of its functions includes repeated actions performed by a user on your device( e.g search queries, common locations, repeated calendar appointments etc) to display much more relevant information to the user in the form of cards.<br />
The Google Now on Tap actually comes and works with phones with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow.<br />
Not everyone knows how to make use of it, so below are the tips and tricks to get the most out of your Google Now. <br />
<br />
<b>1. Google Now Setup </b><br />
<br />
Before you begin exploring Google Now, you need to make sure the setup is correct. <br />
Firstly, permit Google Now to recognise your 'OK Google' command from any screen by clicking the hamburger menu icon in the Google app. Next, navigate to <b>Settings>Voice> 'OK Google' detection</b>, and just slide all the toggles to the right. <br />
Once you are done, you will be prompted to train <b>OK Google </b>to your voice, which you need to do three times by saying OK Google. <br />
Then, navigate to<b> Settings> Voice> Offline speech recognition</b> and do make sure that all the languages you need are downloaded. By doing so, you will be able to use OK Google commands which do not require the Internet when you are offline.<br />
You will also be open to a lot of great Google Now features, provided you give access to Google, to your location data. <br />
Navigate to <i>Google Settings App </i>to allow Google Now use your Location data, select Location and enable the ON toggle button. Then, go to <i>Google Location History</i> at the bottom of the same page and enable the ON button also. <br />
While still at it, navigate into the Google app, click on the hamburger menu icon and click on Customize. Here, you can set your work and home addresses which can be used to get information about your commute and also set reminders. You can also enter which modes of transport you use, your favourite sports team, and more to get the most interesting and useful cards showing up. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Adding Voice Commands </b><br />
<br />
You can add a number of additional commands to Google Now, if you download command from <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher&hl=en" target="_blank">PlayStore</a>. It includes special features like clearing notifications, turning on flashlight, taking selfie, enabling rotation lock and more. The app expands the features significantly. You can also set custom voice commands for each function. Apart from this, Command includes integration for Tasker, taking Google Now experience to a much more higher level. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Make use of Location based reminders</b><br />
<br />
In this aspect, you can ask Google to remind you of an important task let's say, if you have to remember to do something in a certain place, but you are not sure what time you will be there, Google Now can remind you once it detects that you are there This actually can be very useful for remembering what you need to do or buy when you arrive at a shop or that you need to turn the oven ON as soon as you arrive home. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Helps you with Travel arrangements </b><br />
<br />
Google Now tends to provide you with cards and notifications which alerts you beforehand what time you should leave at-to-arrive at an appointment on time, if you use the Google Calendar. These notifications also account for traffic conditions, which makes you a punctual and effective human being. <br />
Make sure to have selected your proffered mode of transport( Customize> Transport) and navigate to Settings> Now cards and switch Commute and Time to leave on. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Track packages or Flights with Google Now</b><br />
<br />
When you receive flight confirmations and delivery tracking information to Google email account that is linked to Google Now, these emails will actually be used to provide cards that track packages and update you on your flight's status. This can actually be done for any flight by searching for the flight number, if you have Web history enabled, Google Now will create a dedicated card for the flight. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Let's you ask Follow-up questions</b><br />
<br />
Google Now is quite good at contextualising what you say, if you have asked "How large is Manchester " for example, you can ask a follow up question such as "How many people live their" and Google should have no problem remembering that 'there' refers to Manchester. <br />
<br />
<b>7. Launch Apps</b><br />
<br />
Google Now let's you have a hands free experience as you don't have to navigate to every app on your phone to open them. Google Now simply does it for you easily and you can do this by saying ' Open(App Name) and that is, Google does it for you. <br />
<br />
<b>8. Setup relationships </b><br />
<br />
Google is able to remember which of your contacts is your father, brother, sister, mother or relations among others. Just say something like "Wayne is my father" and Google Now gets to take care of the rest. So if their are multiple Wayne in your phone book, there will be need for you to confirm which is the right entry and then select "Add nickname". Once you do this, you have access to new commands such as 'Call my mothet' or 'Email my dad'. <br />
<br />
<b>9. Make use of punctuation marks with smiles</b><br />
<br />
Google Now let's you add punctuation in your words by saying " period" or "comma" as you can also add smilies using voice commands such as 'wow'.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Google Now let's you understand multiple languages </b><br />
<br />
With Google Now, you can understand multiple languages whether you are abroad or bilingual. It helps save the frustration of trying to search Street names on Google and only getting unusual results. To enable this feature, press the hamburger menu button in the app, navigate to Settings>Voice> Languages and choose as many as you like.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. Google Now does a cool trick</b><br />
<br />
Google Now is capable of doing a cool trick or action so to say for example, you just need to say "what song is playing?" and it brings the result out for you. <br />
<br />
<br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has become a thing of the past for anyone not to have a smartphone, unlike before that most people do not really see it as important or necessary and are just quite okay with there cellphone, now it has become necessary and important in our current world as there are so many things you can get done fast and easy with your smartphone. So many users have become so fond of their phones as they can't do without certain apps to get through their day to day activities. Despite the existence of so many of these mobile apps, they are not dependable as it's a norm to experience crashing of apps. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unlike when the likes of BlackBerry used to dominate the mobile market with like 72% few years ago, the Android currently has taken over being the most extensively used mobile operating system(OS) which is dependable, has stability and protects from viruses and malware issues. Facing app crash issues is inevitable, as this happens from time to time. Some of the common reasons behind app crashing includes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Device incompatibility & database contention</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- incorrect memory & CPU usage</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Browser incompatibility </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Network changes & bandwidth issues</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Others could include : Bugs in production, integration dependencies, poor front end optimization and other related issues from developers of this apps and phones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of the common reasons are stated below: </span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Despite the fact of how so many apps are rated on Google Play Store with 3,4,5 star reviews, it becomes annoying and frustrating when those apps which had good reviews and seem to work on other people's phone don't get to work on your phone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All this issues seem to exist mainly because there are so many android smartphones from different makers with different versions such as Nexus 5X, 6P, Samsung S6, Huawei Mate S, LGV10, HTC ONE M9 and lots more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Android app developers can not test their app with all this product available, not to mention the existence of various version of Android OS, including those running older versions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also apps sometimes contradict each other making one work and the other not to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apps are regularly updated and during that time, an app becomes slow or stop working and others might occur due to the fact that the phone is running an old version of OS or the updated app comes with bug issues which is unknown to the maker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Below are some of the tips to prevent your Android app from crashing every now and then.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Clearing of App data consistently </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the App Manager list on your Android phone is a button called "Clear Data". This button removes user-configuration as well as the app if it were installed for the first time. The Clear Data is alike to Clear Cache except for the fact that you will have to reconfigure the app. When data sometimes overloads it slows down the phone itself or make crash issues occur. So pressing the Clear Data button all of the data stored is cleared off and it becomes all fresh again, and this should be done from time to time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Uninstall Apps not needed </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apps that aren't relevant to you shouldn't be downloaded in the first place to begin with. Apps that you don't make use of should be uninstalled. You can check your app drawer to this. Note that improperly written apps can cause issues for your Android device, and built in problems which can range from storing important data like a plain text file in your SD to rubbishing your notification bar with regular updates which cant be disabled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Create space on your device</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every smartphone has a storage capacity that's limited, and if reached at some point could cause crashing issues of apps on your phone If it's not handled well. For example newer low end devices such as the MOTO E has 8GB built in storage which it's big part is covered by the system. In situations like this, the best and simplest way is to free up space by up installing apps. For music apps, locating where there files are stored can be stressful so it would be better to use the app <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner&hl=en" target="_blank">CCleaner</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can also make use of <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en" target="_blank">DiskUsage </a>especially if you interested in getting a visual display of where your memory is going as it displays file sizes and locations too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Don't make use of different network types</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most android app users experience app crashing after changing their network connection to either WiFi or mobile data. Truth to be told, Apps don't usually crash on network change except they aren't coded properly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flagship phones such as Samsung's Galaxy series come with a built in auto network switch feature to minimise data loss and transition the connection switch seamlessly. But stability of some apps isn't assured as they still crash and most users keep experiencing this from time to time. To prevent an app from crashing, turn off the current network you using first before switching to another connection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Check Update reviews before downloading </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the most common mistake every android user makes. When an update comes for an app, try to visit<a href="https://play.google.com/store" target="_blank"> PlayStore</a> to check the current review before updating as some of the app updates comes with bug issues of which crashing might be one of them, as such affects the current one. Even I have been a victim of this several times until when I actually found out that checking review is better before updating so you don't regret over a short period of time. So endeavor to check review of an app update before downloading, because of course some people would have downloaded it before, so if it's actually good, you did see a good comment and if it's the other way round then it means you will have to wait for another update to pop up before updating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you have solution to android app crash issues different from this? Let's get your opinion from the comment section.</span><br />

Network Monitor Mini</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Network Monitor Mini is a mini network monitor which serves as a great mini widget on your android phones homes screen. This app allows you to keep a tiny readout of your network upload and download speeds running on whatever else you are doing. With this, you get to know which of the websites are consuming your data and how in real time. Like I mentioned earlier it can serve as a widget which simply means the information can be placed anywhere you like on your home screen and also set the font, color, "tap through" option( instead of opening the app), transparency and more.

System Monitor </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The System Monitor is an old but good app, which does exactly what it says. With this app you can setup resizable widgets to display how your system resources are being used in real time, which includes a battery and memory monitor ( RAM and SD) and current CPU. In the app is also a usual array of task manager features too. It's worth every download as it's one of the best apps you can use or need for monitoring system performance on Android.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The DiskUsage helps keep system monitoring information simple such that it's very easy to understand without stress of any kind. It works by showing you a big old chart( depends on the screen size of your phone) which shows how much memory a directory or certain file is using up. DiskUsage allows you monitor what occupies so much space in external or local memory by showing you proportionately sized blocks on screen. This app is great and works for identification of large files and clear up space. Data interpretation isn't required here.

CPU Temperature </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Considering the rate of battery drainage, overheating firmware updates and CPU consumption, some hard data might be useful to have on hand. Getting to know what a normal range for your device is also let's you know when things become abnormal. Your palm isn't a perfectly good thermometer but CPU Temperature is for your device. CPU Temperature let's you monitor your CPU temperature and clock speed, charge level and battery temperature and also provide you with a bunch of tool graphs which let's you view changes over time.

Others in your Android device </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Android system also comes with few built in options for keeping tabs on running processes too via Process Stats. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Process stats can be accessed by navigating to <i>Developer Options</i> menu in <i>Settings. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If this menu isn't enabled yet on your phone, navigate to <i>Settings > About Phone ></i> and tap the <i>Build Number</i> continuously till notification pops up.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Same goes for the battery section on your phone. By clicking the listed apps and services, a list of apps which heavily drains your battery is shown, processes they run, how much battery they consume, mobile and WiFi data sent and received, wake lock stats and more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, on your Apps section you can scroll to the Running tab, where you get to know apps which runs always on your system for good reason (Google Play Services or WhatsApp) and those that shouldn't be running at all( music players you are not using or games you are not playing).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most people have had several issues on excessive battery and data consumption due to running apps in the background on their android smartphone. It has become a challenge as most users don't know how to make this stop, hence saving their battery life and data plan becomes impossible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many apps that run in the background do so for good reason like providing data location, syncing or otherwise what they were designed to do.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But not always or actually all of them does that as some just run in the background for no exact good reason. Good examples of some of this apps are like Facebook, instagram and other alike apps that still run in the background when you really don't need them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I for my part don't see any reason why this kind of apps should still be running in the background when I can always log on anytime I want to keep myself updated, the only thing this kind of running apps do is to refresh feeds, updates and the likes which is really of not much importance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you want to know which of the apps are running excessive background processes or would like to stop running apps in the background entirely, below is how you can do that so read on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Battery usage and Process stats</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To get to know which apps are running background processes and how power consuming they are, both in terms of battery and processing, Android has the following built in options for monitoring:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Enable Developer Options </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To do this, navigate to Settings on your Android phone>click the About Device and tap the Build number until you are notified that the Developer Options has been enabled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Navigate to Settings, then click on Developer Options> Process stats to view how much of the time your key apps are running. Tap any of the apps to see how much RAM it's using.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Go to Settings> then Battery and tap individual running apps to see their battery consumption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Running apps in the background which needs to be closed</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The main apps which are actually guilty of background memory and battery usage are music players you are not using and games you are not playing. Like I said earlier on, if there's no good reason for an app to run in the background, it would be best for you to close the app. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Generally and important, apps or services which starts with the word Google should be left running, though important/essential services won't let you stop them from running anyway, but the following apps shouldn't be stopped either and allowed to run.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Google Play services, Google Contacts Sync, Google Keyboard, Google Play Store, Google Search. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Process stats list will actually help you with which apps you want to leave running in the background based on how much you use them. The list provided above will help to stop services which aren't important such as the Google Play Music. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How to stop, disable and uninstall running apps in the background </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If there's an app you have on your Android which you think is using an unreasonable amount of processor power or seems to run in the background more than it should, you can; </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Disable it in your App Manager </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Navigate to Settings > <i>Applications</i> > <i>Application manager</i>, tap the app then click on disable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Recent apps can be closed by tapping rhe Recent Apps navigation button on your Android phone(to the right of the home button), then swipe left or right to close apps you ran recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Force Stop it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Navigate to <i>Settings > Applications</i> ><i> Application manager</i>, swipe right to the Running tab, tap the app then click <i>Force Stop</i> OR</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- From your phone Delete it by navigating to <i>Settings > Applications > Application manager</i>, tap the app then click uninstall. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE:</b> Apps which aren't necessary should be stopped to avoid excessive usage of RAM, battery and prevent your phone from suddenly crashing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Making use of Greenify</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Greenify is an app which allows you put apps to sleep when they are not in use, so to say an hibernation app. It's basically an automated version of force disabling or closing apps every time you stop using them and then turning them back on when you need to make use of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Doing all this is quite stressful, hence if you talking about one of the best management apps around, then Greenify is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You actually need root access for you to get full benefits of Greenify on your Android phone, which simply means your phone needs to be rooted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For example, non-rooted users won't be able to automatically hibernate apps, but can flick a widget switch simply to put your apps to sleep. If you really care and concerned about your phone in terms of managing your background processes, Greenify would be of good help. Click <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en" target="_blank">Greenify</a> for your Android.</span><br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nobody makes use of NFC despite the fact that it's been developed quite for some time now on different smartphones. Why? Because some don't know what it is and how it is used despite its on their Android smartphone, while other users don't even know if there exists anything like NFC on their smartphone. Well that's going to change after you read this article as I will be emphasising on its uses. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can read more on <a href="http://tobecandidblog.blogspot.com/2016/03/nfc-it-facts-and-why-you-should-use-it.html" target="_blank">NFC: facts and why you should use it</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Modern Smartphones all come now with NFC feature, but used mostly by a power user who loves exploring his/her smartphone and not just a casual user who doesn't care about other functions on the phone provided it can browse, download, and listen to music or watch movies with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC is meant to be used every now and then just like the way we use Bluetooth all the time, and not just used by one person and then neglected by the other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC ( near field communication) has various ways of making use of it and I will be sharing them with you. Showing below are list of the best way of using NFC. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How do you enable NFC?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How to make use of NFC</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
1. To send picture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
2. To Send a document </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
3. To Send a phone number </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
4. To send directions </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. To make payment </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
6. To launch an app on someone else's phone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
7. To direct someone to your new favourite app</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before you can make use of NFC, you must be sure your device supports it, by navigating to Settings> Wireless&networks and from there you can see NFC listed, then if you see it there it definitely means you can make use of it, by enabling it from the same menu. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE:</b> Both devices(sender/receivers device) must have NFC enabled before NFC transfer can work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To make use of NFC, let both NFC enabled devices come close in contact with each other( with their backs touching each other) or select Android Beam in the share options when sharing a file. At some point when you devices become separated, it will notify you to bring them close together again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE:</b> Both devices need to enable Android Beam if that's what you want to use for sharing file.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's uses are: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC can be used to send a picture, and to do that just navigate to media on your phone and open the picture you want to send in your preferred image viewer, then bring the phones together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is really useful when somebody next to you wants a picture you have fast on his device, hence using NFC you can make it a quicky. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this process, there is need for you to enable the Android beam since its a file you are sharing. Because if you try to send a PDF file when viewing it, it tends to only bean the PDF viewing app, instead of the PDF file itself. So that's where the Android Beam comes in. Navigate to the file you want to share, click the three tops icon, tap share and select Android Beam. Then you can bring the devices together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Using NFC to send phone number is a quick and simple way to give someone your number as either of you don't have to type any digits. It does make sense, you interested in someone and need to get the persons number without typing ? NFC does the job perfectly. To do this, navigate to contact address book( either yours or someone else's), press your phone to the recipients and tap the display when your phone pops ' touch to beam' .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is actually useful when you too busy to type numbers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On many occasions, you always explain directions to someone visiting you for the first time, but with NFC you don't have to do that anymore as you can create some directions with Google Maps, then let the phones touch each other( back). Simple! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE:</b> This is most useful when someone from your workplace or anywhere would like to visit you at home. ( but for this to be meaningful, the person has to be with you to do the transfer and with it can check you up at home without stress). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Would be meaningless if you directing someone to your location for the first time without ever meeting the person before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC can be used to make mobile payment with its <b>Tap and Pay </b>feature, by making use of the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en" target="_blank">Android Pay</a> app. Download the Android pay app<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en" target="_blank"> here</a>, add your debit or credit card details,and make use of it in any store which has a contact less payment terminal. Though this is most used in the US and UK, and will become widespread with time across every other country hopefully. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is most useful when you out of hard cash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sounds cool huh? Yes. If you have an app or playing a game which is already installed on someone else's device, you can actually launch it for them with NFC. So if you are using Google Photos and your friend would like to check their photos too, but can't find that app, you can tap the phones together and beam. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes, with NFC other android users can be directed to Play Store to get your favourite games and app. For example "Wow, that app looks great, can I have a look at it?" yes! Sure let me press my phone on yours and find out yourself. Provided you are using the app or game currently, NFC will help direct your friends or Androiders to the apps Google play page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC also have tags called NFC tags or stickers and has so many uses on its own. Guess will be writing an article soon about NFC tags and uses. So always check by for more frequent tech tips and updates. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC is actually good when you out of 3G or LTE data, have no carrier signal or Wi-Fi, or you don't have a cable to do a PC transfer. It's quick, simple and easy to use by tapping phones on each other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Share your thoughts in the comments, about your favourite uses for NFC.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Smartphones nowadays are much very useful as much as tech is concerned. They have lots and different function, as they require more than enough time to explore especially for a casual user, the case will be different though for a power user who can quickly explore and get to know most of the specs on their smartphone. There are so many things that can be done on your phone, and using your Android phone to control your PC ( remote access) is one of them, as you need to know how to do this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes there may be need to access a file or run a program on your PC or probably separated from it by a distance or wouldn't like to make use of your PC, instead look for an alternative, hence that's where your smartphone comes in, as it can be used as a remote access to control your PC.</span><br />
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But how? This can be achieved by using Remote Desktop apps such as Google's Chrome Desktop as a remote access on your PC. It works quite well on different Android smartphones, but is known to better on tablets, as they offer a large screen mode which is efficient and useful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The landscape mode can also be made use of on Android smartphones to make the working experience better. Irrespective of the device, the Remote Desktop app works flawlessly on both Tablets and Android smartphones, and used to control your PC via Remote Desktop apps like you sitting at its front. Below is how you can actually use your Android smartphone/tablet as remote control on your PC. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly, to achieive this, you need to use the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop" target="_blank">Chrome Remote Desktop</a> app which is available for download free of charge on Google Play Store. To download click <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Chrome Remote Desktop app will be used in conjunction with your PC, which simply means you need to install the <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/mobile/" target="_blank">Google Chrome browser</a> alongside with the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your PC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How to setup your PC </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You have to ensure that your computer is well setup and ready for use as this is important. So install the <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/mobile/" target="_blank">Chrome browser </a>on your PC if you don't have it, after its installation, ensure that you have the Chrome Remote Desktop app installed on your PC as well. You can visit the Chrome Web store to download the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp" target="_blank">Chrome Remote Desktop. </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tap the free button and click Add when a pop up appears upon completion of the download and installation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Run the tool by clicking the Launch App button or by clicking the Chrome App Launcher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like always in most apps, signing in for the first time requires authorization, click to continue, sign in with your Google account when prompted and click accept. This means you are done with the first part of the setup on your PC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chrome Desktop can be used in either of the two ways, which is; to share a computer for remote assistance or to gain full access to your computer. For now, I will be emphasising on the second way which is why I'm writing this article. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So now click on the second button of the two get started buttons that is displayed, then select the enable remote connections button. You will be prompted to download the Chrome Remote Desktop host installer, so upon installing this,you will be requested to choose nothing less than a six digit pin which will be used to secure your connection. Enter and confirm the pin you'd like to use and select OK. A window then pops up afterwards asking you for your pin, enter it and click OK. Your PC now is fully setup and ready for use, as the next step would be on how to setup your Android smartphone/ Tablet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How to setup your Android/Tablet</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that your PC is well configured, there's need for you to do same on your Android phone so as to connect it to your PC and control it remotely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Navigate to Google Play Store on your Android device, download and install the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop" target="_blank">Chrome Remote Desktop</a> app on your phone, and run the app after installing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sign in to the same Google account on your Android or Tablet as on your PC, a list of computers that you can connect to is shown, click the name of the computer you would like connect to connect to, and you wait for the connection to be established( this might take few minutes as you have to wait).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After that, you will be requested to enter the pin you once setup earlier( same pin you entered on your PC). You can avoid the need to enter the pin every time, whenever you want to make use of it on your PC, but do be aware of the potential security risks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After few seconds, your PC will appear on your Android devices screen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In most cases, using a landscape mode on your Android phone screen would make working with a remote connection easier and better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To switch to full screen mode, tap the double arrow button, and use the drop down menu to access the onscreen keyboard or to switch back to full screen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tap and drag around the screen to interact with your PC, and to use the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard shortcut, tap or check the menu button to select the relevant option. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you decide to put the remote session to an end, you can click the disconnection option in the menu on your Android phone or click the stop sharing button on your PC( as it is not a good idea to leave it open longer than necessary, so if you now using it, ending it would be a better option).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>NOTE: </b>the same process goes for Tablets too, as their isn't much difference. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the above tips, you are good to go in getting to use your Android phone as a remote control on your PC. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's know from the comment section, how helpful this article has been to you and your experience with it.</span><br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC has been in existence for some time now, as it's been developed in some smartphones like the Blackberry devices. Nowadays, it's hard to come across a smartphone that doesn't support NFC. I know you must have heard of it often, but don't know how it is used while some don't even know it exists on their smartphone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC is an acronym which simply means ( Near Field Communication).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC is a short range wireless RFID( Radio Frequency Identification) technology which enables the exchange of data between devices held a few centimeters from each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unlike Bluetooth devices which only makes use of direct radio transmissions, NFC makes use of interacting electromagnetic radio fields.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The explanation above already describes what NFC is, but what is its usefulness? Here I will be sharing with you what NFC is all about and why you should use it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
What is NFC?</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like I mentioned earlier, NFC simply means Near Field Communication which is a means of making your phone interact with something close in range. It works within the radius of 4-10cm and permits a wireless connection between two devices. It's just like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth but works differently, I would say more of Bluetooth. NFC doesn't need a Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE network to work properly, hence not cost to use. It permits a two way communication, with the devices involved being able to send and receive information. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Is it like Bluetooth? </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They are alike actually as I mentioned earlier, as both Bluetooth and NFC offer a wireless 2 way transmission between devices and comes in recently or modern smartphones. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They differ though in some aspect, as Bluetooth has an operational range which is larger and divided into different classes, as it has the <b>class 1 </b>type which operates at 100m(330ft), the<b> class 2 </b>which is most common has an operating range of up to 10m(33ft in some instances), with the <b>class 3 </b>being the least having a range of up to 1m (3ft).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It consumes battery most times but getting better thanks to BLE ( Bluetooth Low Energy) development. Bluetooth takes a little long to setup as you need to add and pair devices, and also could be difficult a little to navigate in crowded situation, because of its wide range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
What can you use NFC for? </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mostly, NFC is typically used to listen to music via wireless speakers. In this aspect, NFC relies on the data transfer via Bluetooth, but the NFC is actually responsible for the initial connection of your smartphone to your speakers. This makes the connection effective without depending on Bluetooth paring of speaker and smartphones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
NFC tags connection </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC tags are small stickers or tags that consists of NFC chips which can be programmed to give any kind of information to your smartphone. An NFC tag consists of links to Web address, and can also be set to perform certain actions with your smartphone, like turning off the Wi-Fi or ringer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
File transfer using NFC</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With NFC you can transfer or send certain files between devices using the Android Beam app(android smartphones). In this aspect, NFC on some smartphones don't need Android Beam as they can send files just by placing the backs of the phones on each other like on Blackberry devices and others. To do this both devices need to have the Android Beam and enable NFC on both, then navigate to the file you wish to send, let's say a picture, and tap the devices together. That's it! There's no need to select any send via options, just the devices place back to back like I mentioned earlier, and when it asks to confirm the transfer tap the touch to beam. There exists a dedicated app you can also make use of known as the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.beamfile&hl=en" target="_blank">File Beam</a>, and with this app it's much simpler and faster sending files between two devices. Click <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.beamfile&hl=en" target="_blank">here</a> to get the File Beam app for your Android. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Make payments with NFC</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This aspect of NFC is going to be of good use soon, with the <b>Tap and Pay</b> feature it has. NFC payments are available in many stores across UK, US for purchases of £ 15 or less, by making use of the<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en" target="_blank"> Android Pay </a>app. All it needs is just tapping your phone against a terminal enabled. But some developing countries haven't started making use of it, as it's believed to be risky. Apple also included NFC antenna in their latest phones( first existed on iPhone 6) to work with its Apple Pay feature( and also will include same functionality in the Apple Watch). Click <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en" target="_blank">here</a> to get he Android pay app for your Android smartphone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
How do you know if your phone supports NFC</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It actually depends on the type of phone you are using, but as I mentioned earlier it's hard to see a modern smartphone that doesn't have NFC, as most smartphones now come with NFC. But still to know if your phone supports NFC, you can navigate to <b>Settings> Wireless and Networks</b> to see if NFC is listed. There you can see if it has or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">NFC enables quick way of setting up connections between devices and also provides the fastest solution for file transfer between smartphones close in range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you use NFC on your smartphone? How did you make use of it? Let's hear your thoughts from the comment section.</span><br />

Before even I got fed up and decided to uninstall it , it took over 120MB storage space on my phone, while some users have even given or reported higher figures than mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
