How To Wirelessly Tansfer Files To Your Android Device

Transferring files from and to your Android phone can be a hassle. Finding your cable, connecting your device, opening up the right folders… And weren’t we told that wireless was the future? Most people now days have a Wi-Fi connection set up at home or even a mobile data plan for their phones. So why wouldn’t you use it to transfer files wirelessly? There are a few ways to transfer your files over the air.



WiFi File Transfer
First of all, you can use the Android app WiFi File Transfer to get the job done. This is probably the easiest and fastest way to do it. WiFi File Transfer is a popular app that works very well for moving files around on your home network. It doesn’t look too fancy but it gets the job done. The App produces a URL that you can type into your computer’s browser, which will give you access to the device’s memory and SD card as long as the app is running. From here, you’ll be able to upload and download files straight of your PC to your Android device or vice versa. The transfers are quick and depending on your router, even faster than a USB connection.
The free version of WiFi File Transfer is fully functional but you’ll only be able to upload files up to 4MB. So Music and Pictures can be transferred, for movies, you’ll have to upgrade to the paid version without file size limitations. The Pro version is available for only $1.40 and is well worth the convenience of never having to use a USB cable again.


Dropbox
By now, almost everyone is familiar with Dropbox. Storing your files on the cloud is hotter than ever. But did you know that you could use Dropbox to transfer files between Android devices? Here is how it works. File transfers won’t be quite as fast as they would be with direct Wi-Fi transfer, but working with Dropbox is quite flexible and offers storage on the cloud of all your files.
First, move all the files you want to transfer to your Dropbox storage space. Use the dedicated Dropbox app for Android and PC or do it through a web browser. As most people don’t have a fast upload speed, this might take quite some time. Generally, uploading a few pictures or some music shouldn’t take long but bigger files can take their time. When this is done, you’ll be able to access your files through your Android Dropbox App. You’ll even be able to do this on the go using your 3G or 4G internet connectivity. This will eat a bit into your data limit, but works extremely well. You’ll also be able to star your favorite documents for offline viewing and Dropbox is also great for keeping folders synced between your phone and computer.
There are many other options to wirelessly transfer files but these two are definitely the easiest. How do you transfer your files? Still prefer the good ol’ USB cable or have you moved to Wifi

How to Power Cycle Your Gadgets To Fix Freezes and Other Problems

How to Power Cycle Your Gadgets To Fix Freezes

and Other Problems

 

Have you ever had a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or any other electronic gadget become unresponsive? The surefire way to recover from the freeze – assuming it’s not a hardware problem – is by power-cycling the gadget.

1) Remove the Battery

If you have a device that appears frozen and won’t power on at all, pulling the battery is a good place to start. This applies to smartphones, laptops, digital cameras, and everything else with a removable battery.
Before removing the battery, ensure the device is unplugged – we want to ensure it isn’t receiving any power at all. Locate the removable battery, which will be in a different place depending on your device – you may have to pop the back off a smartphone, look at the underside of a laptop, or slide open a panel on a digital camera. Remove the battery, wait several seconds. Sometimes it’s necessary to wait longer up to 1hour. Try turning it back on — your hardware will often come right back to life.
Most geeks know that pulling and reinserting a device’s battery will force it to recover from a freeze and boot right back up, but what if the device doesn’t have a removable battery?

2) Long-Press the Power Button

Many new devices are coming without user-removable batteries, but users still need the ability to power cycle the gadget. If you have a device without a user-removable battery, there’s often a way to power cycle your device by long-pressing a button or two.
On a Nexus 7 or Kindle, long-pressing the power button for an entire 30 seconds will power cycle the device and force it to restart. This may also apply to other tablets and smartphones.
On an iPhone, you have to press and hold both the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds.
You may have to look up the exact buttons required for your device, but this sort of trick works on all sorts of hardware. For example, on a Turtle Beach wireless headset, you can press and hold the mute button for 15 seconds to power cycle the headset.

3) Unplug the Power Cable

If you have a device with neither a battery nor a power button – such as a router or modem – you can power-cycle the device by pulling its power cord and plugging it back in. However, you should wait several seconds – or even several minutes, to be safe – before plugging the device back in. If you plug it back in too soon, it may not lose power entirely.

4) Use Reset Pinholes

Some devices have built-in batteries and won’t respond to long-pressing any buttons. These devices often have small, hidden buttons that you can press to power cycle them. These small buttons are referred to as pinholes because they’re located inside tiny holes in the device. You’ll need a bent paperclip or another long, narrow object to press these buttons and power-cycle the device.
You’ll generally find the location of a device’s pinhole in its manual. This applies to all sorts of devices – from wireless headsets to laptops.
Be aware that reset pinholes sometimes do more than simply resetting the device. For example, the reset pinholes on consumer routers generally reset the router to its factory default settings. To power-cycle the router without losing your settings, just unplug it and plug it back in.

50 years of Bond, James Bond – A look at some of the gadgets then and now

I am sure many old school Bond fans remembered when Goldfinger tried to slice Bond into two with a laser, well, the part many men remembered was that Bond was tied down and split legged with the laser heading directly towards his ‘jewels’.

ESW has a few lasers of their own, which are more friendly to the genitals. The 350mW RGB Laser Projector is a good way to start your laser experience.
This laser projector includes a generous 2GB SD memory card, and with full RGB color animation, ILDA and 128 pre-programmed animations.

Featuring a full range of functions including; sound active, auto beam, auto animation and SD control, this laser show system is great value. Its 10k scanner capabilities mean it will function at high speed, allowing for an amazing laser show!

Bond was known for having useful handheld gadgets and therefore ESW also believes that this Mini Laser Effects Projector fits the needs for today’s mobile society.
Until recently, laser shows have been something you could only see in professional clubs and million-dollar show productions. Now, this advanced piece of technology is finally within reach of everyone! The “Loopy Laser” transforms walls and ceilings into a magical light show experience. With a simple press of a button you can turn on the laser and switching between a single green laser dot and a moving red/green laser pattern is done by turning a switch on the side of the device. Fitting in the palm of your hand, this Mini Laser Projector is designed for indoors as well as outdoor use and will give your parties that extra twist!
Q wished Chinavasion was around many years ago.

Here is just a fraction of what ESW has to offer, the latest Android phones that Bond would have found useful 50 years back as he fought Dr. No, or the latest car DVD player to fit in his Aston Martin DB5 as he is being chased by some minority henchmen. If ESW was around when Q was around I am sure we could have saved him a lot of time and effort coming up with cool and useful gadgets. You can become your own spy with cool gadgets by logging on to ESW and purchasing some of our great deal at wholesale price. Just remember ESW products are shaken, not stirred when it comes to prices.

Cellphone Mysteries Explained; What Is Dual SIM And Dual Standby
 

Even despite the not quite iPhone OS and sometimes questionable quality.
But what does does dual SIM mean, what is it capable of and how can you best use it.
When looking at a a dual SIM phone you really need to take into consideration two things:
  1. Dual SIM
  2. Dual Standby


What Is Dual SIM And Dual Standby?




Dual SIM


Dual SIM is simply a single cellphone with two SIM card slots. Simple!
Dual SIM essentially refers to a phone that can hold and utilize two SIM cards in the same GSM cellular phone.
It doesn’t matter if they’re dual SIM TV phones or any other dual SIM phones as long as they take two SIM cards and read them, then they are dual SIM mobile phones.

CVIL M39CVCY-M09-Black

CVDQ-M43CVSEM-A4701

CVSL-114-Black

Just because a cell phone can take two SIM cards, it doesn’t mean that both SIM cards are working. You need the dual standby function for that (More about that below).
However this doesn’t mean that having two SIM cards isn’t very useful for:
  • Keeping all of your personal and business contacts separate while keeping them in the same place
  • Keeping two separate numbers so that you are always in touch
  • Traveling between country to country


Dual Standby


A dual stand by phone is different to a dual SIM phone in that has one CPU but, will actively monitor both networks at the same time.
While dual SIM cell phones will put two phone numbers into the same phone you need to physically switch between them by going into the settings menu and making the switch.


 
Some phones, like the Voyager, can handle two phone networks at the same time

However, dual standby phones can actively switch between the two without any input from you.


How Does Dual SIM And Dual Standby Work?




Dual SIM


A dual SIM phone always has two SIM card slots and, occasionally, two CPUs.
Phones that have two CPUs are few and far between. In fact, even though we have sold hundreds of cell phones and looked at thousands more we have only seen one example of a dual CPU phone.
A phone that has dual SIM slots without having a dual standby function will require you to go into settings and change it from SIM 1 to SIM 2 and vice versa.
There are some older forms of dual SIM available where the second SIM card slot is just another place, besides your wallet, to keep your spare SIM card.


Dual Standby


With Dual Standby phones there is an electronic switch in the phone which will automatically switch between SIM cards depending on which one is getting a call from somewhere.
If a second call should happen to arrive when you are already talking on the phone one of two things will happen:
1) If you have call secretary software, or your carrier has an online call secretary service then if you’re on the phone and another call comes in then it’ll be shipped to voicemail.
2) If no such software or option exists on your GSM dual mobile then the other caller will just be told that your line is busy.


How Can I Use A Dual SIM/Dual Standby Phone?




Making a call



Dialing with dual SIM phone

Insert the number you wish to dial, and select SIM 1 or SIM 2


Sending A Text Message



sending-a-sms-copy

Select the options icon and select SIM 1 or SIM 2



Saving A Number To A SIM



saving-a-number-to-the-phone-book-copy

to store a new contact, insert their number, tap the “add contact” option and select either SIM cards or the mobile phone memory itself

New Legal Restrictions Forced to Delist Some Products This Week

ElectroShopWorld has been forced to de-list over 100 products in the last few days because of emerging new law enforcement campaign in Mainland China relating to licensing of surveillance equipment.
They are working with government authorities to get more clarity on the exact legal interpretation. The affected products are mostly tiny “spy” cameras, audio bugs, and certain security devices.
