Mobile Virus Protection Tips

1. What are mobile viruses and what do they do?

Mobile viruses attack smart phones more because they have features similar to those of computers. With a smart phone users can enter the Network, open e-mails, and open other files that may carry a virus. Some viruses can invade a contact list stored in a phone, unbeknownst to the user.

It would be no exaggeration to say that mobile viruses may produce effects similar to those of their computer counterparts. Some can make devices unusable. Some can make phones unable to boot up and others can wipe out memory on the memory card.Bluetooth viruses can spread from device to device when handsets are linked by bluetooth.Some other viruses, called nuisances by many users, can turn icons into manipulate photographs and images such as a panda.

2. How to detect, remove the mobile virus?

If you take actions to prevent the mobile viruses, you will have less trouble in detecting and removing them. Here are some ways of prevention.

A. Never install untrusted software on your cell phone. If you have to install a software for some reasons, make sure it comes from the reliable resources.

B. Neither accept any files sent by blue tooth from someone you have no idea or you are not expecting to receive one. If you do like this and lead you to miss files , just let senders send again after their identification.

C. Pay high attention to path management for software on mobile devices.

You also need to download the latest virus protection updates when the device has access to a wireless connection. Some Mobile Anti Virus is necessary, such as Airscanner Mobile AntiVirus Pro.

How to protect your Battery

Protect the Battery

1. When we go to bed at night, it is almost second nature to connect the cell phone to the charger. Many people do this even though they haven't actually used their cell phones all day. While this is certainly going to keep the battery charged, it can have an adverse effect on how long the phone can hold a charge. By allowing the phones battery to drain before recharging, you are working to ensure that the phone can continue to hold the proper charge and will save you both money and stress down the road.

Turn it Off

2. While some people may find it hard to believe at first, cell phones are very similar to computers in many ways. As such, it is always wise to turn your phone off from time to time to allow the operating system to reboot. Just like a personal computer, running your cell phone all the time can lead to slowdown, file corruption (which, on cell phones, is much harder to repair) and eventually even dropped calls or substandard call quality. If you are going to a movie or a sporting event, consider shutting your phone off for a few hours.

Keep it Dry

3. This may seem like common sense, but with cell phones becoming a normal part of everyday life we can place the phone down next to the sink while doing dishes through sheer force of habit, not realizing where we put the phone until it's already soaked. It is always wise to keep your phone away from wet areas. Also note that keeping your cell phone on the sink while you shower is also dangerous as the steam from hot water can get between the crevices in the casing and numeric pad and do damage to the circuitry.

Mobile Screen-Care Tips

Every second person on the planet and sometimes I think a little more than that number, is a mobile user. Handsets themselves are designed in all possible shapes and sizes and directed at various demographics. It’s because of this insane virtually unlimited variety that we tend to take a handset’s maintenance for granted. Looking after the handset is usually not something that we would pay too much of attention to. Let’s face it it’s not high our list of to dos. But mobile maintenance is very important for the longevity of the device. It’s the little things like dust and sedimentation that can be quite harmful to the handset in the long run. Of course these tips are not for the hardcore mobile users, although I do know a few who have been using handsets since day one and have no idea how to take care of them.

So without getting too technical, here are a few simple everyday methods and tips to help you keep your mobile handset in shape.

Wiping the Display
Nearly all of us, myself included on rare occasions, will use any surface fabric that’s available to clean a handset’s display - T-Shirt, table cloth, hanky et al. This is never a good idea, EVER! It tends to leave small scratches and streaks on the screen. This is something that you have to pay special attention to especially if you’re using a touchscreen handset. The last thing you want to do is leave marks over that screen. I know how annoying fingerprints are but trust me, there’s a right way and a wrong way to get rid of them.

‘Microfiber’ cloths are very easily available for this purpose. Companies like Scotch-Brite and Staples (that’s picking up steam and really gaining momentum in the country) carry the same and price-wise shouldn’t cost you more than 100 Rupees. Some handsets like the iPhone have one bundled with the packaging. Try not to press the LCD too hard as one of the main reasons displays go on the fritz is because of too much pressure applied to the screen. Microfiber cloths are also great for cleaning Laptop and Desktop displays as well as your CDs and DVDs. A liquid cleaner is also available, but use it sparsely.

Screen Protection
This is not something that’s specific to just touchscreen handsets but all mobile phones. Having a Screen Guard ensures that the display is protected from dust as well as scratches. There are a few different kinds of protectors. For touchscreen handsets I’d recommend using a thinner quality as the thicker the protector the less receptive the display becomes to touch. All handsets already have a plastic sheet covering the display but I’ve noticed that that somehow manages to peel off too quickly. In this you want to make sure your display is still protected form scratches.

You can easily buy one off the street for as little as Rs. 5 to Rs. 10. There are more expensive options available that range anywhere between Rs. 60 to Rs. 100. For other handheld devices like the Sony PSP or other PMPs with larger screens, the prices go up. You can put the protector on your self, though I’d just like to warn you it’s really not as easy as it look. It takes a very steady hand, so if you were good at Craft in school, this will be a cinch. Here’s what you need to do.

What you don't want

• Wipe the display carefully with a Microfiber cloth. Make sure it’s devoid of smudges or dust particles
• What you’ll need to do first, if you’ve bought one of the street brands, is cut the sheet down to size. It doesn’t have to be the exact size of you screen as most screens these days are not usually sunk in.
• Carefully peel off the plastic from the back portion. DO NOT touch the adhesive part or that’s the end of this procedure and you’ll ache to get yourself a new one unless you’re ok with having an almost permanent fingerprint mark on your screen.
• Gently place the top portion over the top of the screen and slowly lay it down over the entire display while press it down using a flat surface. This is to make sure that you don’t end up with air bubbles. If there are any slowly peel up the layer and lay it down again a little more carefully this time, or gently push away the bubbles towards the edges using the flat object you’re using.

It’s extremely important to make sure that the edges are absolutely flat, especially the four corners.
Just in case you were wondering, iPhone users don’t have to worry as the handset’s display is scratch resistant to quite an extent.
