As mobile phone users, all we want is enough battery life to last the day. Frustratingly, the older the device, the less power it seems to have. In fact, the amount of battery life our mobiles have on any given day depends on two key factors: how we use them on that particular day, and how we used them in the past.



Mobile phones use lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. In this type of battery, lithium metal and lithium ions move in and out of individual electrodes, causing them to physically expand and contract. Unfortunately, these processes are not completely reversible and the batteries lose their charge capacity and voltage as the number of charge and discharge cycles grows.



To make matters worse, the electrolyte (electrically conductive liquid) that connects the electrodes also degrades throughout these cycles. The ability of lithium-ion batteries to store charge depends on the extent of their degradation. This means there is a link between how we handle our devices today and the charge capacity available in the future. Through a few simple steps, users can minimize this degradation and extend their device’s life.



Here are some useful strategies for extending your phone’s battery capacity:



Typical lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones are supposed to retain 80% of their charge capacity after 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. However, batteries rarely produce this level of performance, with charge storage capacity sometimes reduced to 80% levels within only 100 cycles.



Fortunately, we can extend our future battery capacity by limiting how much we discharge our mobile phone batteries. With most battery degradation occurring during deep discharge/charge cycles, it is actually better to limit the battery discharge during any one cycle before charging it again.



As it happens, our devices do have battery-management systems, which reduce damage from overcharging and shut down automatically if the battery gets too low. Nonetheless, to maximize the battery capacity in the future we should avoid that 0% battery mark altogether, while also keeping those batteries at least partially charged if storing them for a prolonged period of time to avoid deep discharge.



Many of today’s mobile devices have a fast charge option that enables users to supercharge them in minutes rather than hours. This is convenient when we’re in a rush, but should be avoided otherwise. Why? Because charging a battery too quickly reduces its storage capacity. Physically, the shuttling of lithium metal and lithium ions between the electrodes in lithium-ion batteries is a slow process. Therefore, charging at lower rates allows more complete shuttling to occur, which enhances the battery’s charge capacity.



For example, charging a phone in five minutes compared with the standard two hours can reduce the battery capacity for that charge cycle by more than 20% .



The exact range in which lithium-ion batteries can be stored to maintain optimal long-term charge capacity is between 0℃ and 45℃.



Below 0℃, the amount of power available within the battery system is reduced because of a restriction in the movement of lithium metal and lithium ions within the electrodes and through the electrolyte.



Above 45℃, the amount of power available is actually enhanced compared with lower temperatures, so you can get a little more “juice” from your battery under hotter conditions. However, at these temperatures the degradation of the battery is also greatly accelerated, so over an extended period of time its ability to store charge will be reduced.



As a result, phones should be kept out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods, especially in summer when surface temperatures can increase to above 70℃ .



Use battery-saving modes

A Police warning For WhatsApp Group Admins

Well, if you are using WhatsApp and manage several groups, then you need to read this news. Recently, the police in Parbhani district of Maharashtra has issued the warning to the ‘admins’ of WhatsApp groups that they should ensure that no objectionable content is circulated to the group.


Group Administrators are the one who has full control over the WhatsApp groups, they can see and manage the contents that are shared by the group members. Multiple persons can also be admins for one group.


Parbhani Sub Divisional Police Office, Sanjay Pardeshi said “We have issued a letter to all police stations, asking them to summon WhatsApp group admins in their areas in person, and tell them that they should avoid such content in the group”


“We are asking group admins to monitor the content the member’s post,” he said


The letter sent by the authorities to police stations in the district says WhatsApp group should not have any disrespectful content including text, pictures, audio or video clips about historical or iconic figures, places of worship or anything that may hurt religious sentiments.


Not only these, Sanjay Pardeshi also said that if any Group admin finds such http://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/04/warning-for-whatsapp-group-admins.html

Here is the turning point, ping sites can add value to your link building effort and your invest of time.


You can index your own site(s) or your backlink sources with just a single click using some leading ping tools over the internet. Hence, grab this opportunity to make your SEO and Indexing and Backlink work more efficient and fast. Here goes some commonly asked questions regarding ping sites:


What Are Ping Sites?


Ping sites are one kind of online based tool that will submit your given URL to several search engines, directories, communities, content aggregators and some other places.


How To Use Ping Tools?


You just need to put the URL that you want ping and write the title of that page, then simply click on ping or submit button to start the process. After some seconds you will see the confirmation message. It’s so simple.


Why You Should Use Ping Services?


There is no law in constitution that will force you to use ping tools since you are a SEO or Webmaster; but who will not grab the extra gold coin from the table? Yah, this is similar to extra gold coin in the SEO industry. You can index your site’s URL or your backlink sources very fast and easily with these tools. Remember, almost 80% backlinks on the web remains deindexed due to neglecting. Thus, most of the SEO campaigns fail and don’t see the expected result.


Is There Any Negative Effect Of Pinging Too Much?


What will happen if you ask the same question to one of your friends over and over in a single day? Obviously he/she will get annoyed of you. In the same way it’s good to avoid pinging the same URL over and over within a short period of time. You can use 2-3 tools to ping the same URL of your blog or website. Don’t ping a single URL with 10 ping tools or 10 times with the same ping tool. I recommend to ping a URL only once with a single ping tool and use up to 3 or 4 ping tools.

The tech giant Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in the red colour. They are part of Product Red, which directs part of the money raised from sales to AIDS funds.



The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be enclosed in glass with a matching aluminum band and a black front. Both the iPhones will sport Retina HD display and will be powered by an A11 Bionic chip, which is specifically designed to enhance the augmented reality (AR) experience. The iPhone 8 Plus features dual 12MP cameras, which are capable of taking photos in Portrait mode with Portrait Lighting, bringing dramatic studio lighting effects to iPhone, allowing customers to capture stunning portraits with a shallow depth of field effect in five different lighting styles.



The predecessors of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, of course, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, had also received a special edition of Product Red, but some did not like the white front and even made design changes. Now the handsets have the red glass front and black front, holding the Aion Bionic processor and the LCD screens of 4.7 and 5.5 inches.



However, the iPhone X did not receive a red edition; instead, the tech giant Apple has launched a Leather Folio cover, made with “European leather specially tanned and finished to create a luxurious look”. Moreover, it will be sold for $99.



According to the tech news from Apple, http://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/04/apple-launched-red-iphone-8-iphone-8-plus.html

Despacito music video deleted from YouTube, Adele, Taylor Swift, Drake and Shakira’s accounts taken over

In what seems to be a hacker attack, the music video of the hit song "Despacito", which had more than five billion views on YouTube has been removed.



For those unaware, the Spanish-language hit “Despacito” released in January 2017, and went on to break several records in music streaming, including one for the single with the most weeks at No.1 in the U.S., with 16 consecutive weeks. It also became the most-streamed song in the world after reaching 4.6billion plays.

The original clips had been posted by Vevo, a music video hosting service that is a collaboration between the “big three” record companies, Universal Music Group (UMG), Sony Music Entertainment (SME) and Warner Music Group (WMG). Other Vevo channels of artists like Shakira, Selena Gomez, Adele Chris Brown, Maroon 5, Drake and Taylor Swift, were also inaccessible.



Meanwhile, the Despacito video has been removed, but its cover image shows pictures of five animated and masked people pointing guns at the camera. The hackers, who call themselves Prosox and Kuroi’sh, used the online moniker of Kuroi’SH and had written “Free Palestine” below the videos.

It was recently rumored that WhatsApp is working on a new App called WhatsApp Plus, which will incorporate many new features, themes, emoticons and better privacy. But later after the verification of WhatsApp Plus Website, the news was confirmed to be fake and having no association with Facebook-owned WhatsApp. Lots of new vicious websites cropped up to trick users to download and install this fake app, what could potentially be a malware also.


According to Tech News, the well-known WhatsApp Plus is not going to give us any kind of additional functionality within the instant messaging client. No, instead, the only thing it will do is simply take personal information from our mobile device and also leave ‘its brand’, in the form of malware.


WhatsApp Plus: It’s A Fake Malicious App, Don’t Download It!

You have to be very careful with third-party applications, especially in the case of instant messaging services, social networks, and others. With the premise of giving us extra features, some collect information from our mobile devices or infect them with malware.


This is the case of WhatsApp Plus, which someday existed as a really useful app, and is now in the Google Play Store and the App Store for Android and iOS respectively. But now it’s just a hoax.


The famous Android messaging client, WhatsApp is getting serious over its Clone app i.e. WhatsApp Plus, which is becoming equally famous these days among the users. The Facebook owned WhatsApp is believed to ban users who are found guilty on the basis of "Violation of Terms of Service" agreement. The users get a direct ban of 24 hours on using WhatsApp plus, displaying the below message https://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/04/uninstall-whatsapp-plus-download-ban.html

This new application WhatsApp Plus is not going to give us any kind of additional functionality within the instant messaging client. No, instead, the only thing it will do is take personal information from our mobile device and also leave ‘its brand’, in the form of malware.


Finally, WhatsApp showed some genuine concern for its users and took serious action to curb this mess. The official WhatsApp website's FAQ Section was updated, which confirmed the action of ban on users for 24 hours.


Why am I banned for using WhatsApp Plus and how do I get unbanned?



WhatsApp Plus is an application that was not developed by WhatsApp, nor is it authorized by WhatsApp. The developers of WhatsApp Plus have no relationship to WhatsApp, and we do not support WhatsApp Plus. Please be aware that WhatsApp Plus contains source code which WhatsApp cannot guarantee as safe and that your private information is potentially being passed to 3rd parties without your knowledge or authorization.


Researchers at Malwarebytes have discovered it, and explain that the application displays a golden logo based on the WhatsApp logo – as was the case with the ‘WhatsApp gold version’. In addition to this logo, a URL is displayed, and a permission ‘box’ of permission to redirect to a download.

WhatsApp Plus does not contribute anything, it is a fake version that installs malware and steals your personal data This app, WhatsApp Plus promise to give you the ability to use four WhatsApp accounts on the same mobile device, hide the notification of ‘writing…’, eliminate double ticks and the blue tick that confirms the reading of a message, and so on.


But the only thing it will do on our mobile https://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/04/uninstall-whatsapp-plus-download-ban.html

This is the comprehensive specs and features review of TECNO Camon X, Camon X Price and where to buy Camon X.



Early this year, Tecno Mobile stunned the African market with the release of the first mid-range slim bezel device, Camon CM. The device was greatly received especially by those who really loved the slim bezels design but could not afford the likes of Samsung S9 or iPhone X.



The fact that the device was really affordable even further made it desirable and not too much to ask bae for. It is slim, sexy, sleek and beautiful.



INTRODUCING THE UNBOXING TECNO CAMON X



We thought we had seen it all until Tecno Mobile decided to take us by surprise with the release of another super sleek device, which superseded the Camon CM and the Camon CX, the Camon X. The Tecno Camon X was launched globally today in Lagos alongside the Camon X Pro which offers more in terms of RAM, storage and the selfie camera.



The TECNO Camon X is a major improvement from the last year’s camera champion, Camon CX and according to Tecno, it offers 30% in camera and performance.



The Camon X comes with the latest customized Tecno Mobile user interface, HiOS 3.3 with features a lot of new features like a facial recognition system, called Face ID. Another feature present is the night mode which first debuted on the Phantom 8 but has now been greatly improved.

Recently several companies that are making use of this technology to prevent plastic card related fraudulent activities by making use of the concept of biometric fingerprint ( Scanner) activated debit and credit cards.


Companies like SmartMetric, Zwipe, and Visa have taken the initiative. It is being said that biometric fingerprint technology has the ability to change the scenario of the manner in which card payments are made worldwide thereby restricting fraudsters to carry out their horrendous activities.


However, there is an important implication in this. This concept can be applied for preventing fraud at that takes place at POS or Point of Sale. However, experts emphasize that preventing fraud at POS is just not enough; it has to be also effective for CNP or Card-not-present transactions.


Statistical data


The Nilson Report states that in the year 2014 alone, the losses incurred on credit card fraud amounted to a whopping USD$16.31 billion across the globe. And interestingly, United States alone suffered losses worth USD$7.86 billion. The type of fraud that caused the loss in figures includes losses from card-not-present transactions, stolen cards, lost cards, and counterfeiting. And what is even more striking is that experts still predict that fraudulent activity related to plastic cards (debit as well as credit cards) will amount to a loss worth more than USD$35.54 billion by the year 2020.


To counteract the fraudulent activities, MasterCard came into a contract with Zwipe in the year 2014 and the world’s first biometric contactless payment card was launched. It had fingerprint sensor that was integrated. Soon companies like Visa followed suit and its designs were based entirely on Visa (EVM) chip standard, MasterCard, and EuroPay. The aforesaid cards work on the principle of “match-on-card” authentication and makes use of biometric readers at the terminals (ATM).


Aside from the above, SmartMetric came up with EMV compliant biometric plastic card, which makes use of a built-in fingerprint reader inside the card, which enables to identify the identity of the cardholder.

last year in June, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave the company a new mission statement, it was too late for him to try to change how things worked at Facebook’s offices. While it wasn’t made public, Cambridge Analytica had already used data from millions of users for voter profiling and other purposes.


In the wake of the recent data misuse revelation, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has resigned from the company. While demands were already being made for his resignation, this has come as a big surprise for many. Zuckerberg publicly informed the world via a post on Facebook.


As said earlier, the company is already in hot waters and Mark Zuckerberg is at the center stage of this controversy. As per the sources, Facebook was being coerced by some majority shareholders to remove Zuckerberg from company’s board since a long time. So, this decision might be a result of the continuous pressure.
Facebook has faced smaller problems in the past and tried to get rid of the issue by downplaying. This time, the company’s PR team failed to contain the issue.


“Since Cambridge breach came into the limelight, Facebook has lost about $100 billion market value. If I don’t take an extreme step, this number could go as high as $200-300 billion,” Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook.

Until now, there was only news of law enforcement agencies using fingerprints of a dead person to unlock iPhones for investigation purposes. However, according to a new report from Forbes, confirms this practice has been in use for a couple of years already by the police and law enforcement agencies.

FBI forensics specialist Bob Moledor told Forbes that the first known case of police using a deceased person’s fingerprints was in November 2016, when they tried unlocking the iPhone 5s model of Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who had mowed down a group of people in his car, and gone on a stabbing spree with a butcher’s knife. He was later shot dead by a police officer on the grounds of Ohio State University. However, the legal officials couldn’t unlock Artan’s device with his lifeless fingerprint, and iPhone was later sent to a forensic lab to retrieve information.

“Unfortunately for the FBI, Artan’s lifeless fingerprint didn’t unlock the device (an iPhone 5 model, though Moledor couldn’t recall which. Touch ID was introduced in the iPhone 5S).

“In the hours between his death and the attempt to unlock, when the feds had to go through legal processes regarding access to the smartphone, the iPhone had gone to sleep and when reopened required a passcode,” Moledor told Forbes.

The method of unlocking iPhones using the fingerprints of their deceased owners is “relatively common” for authorities in New York and Ohio who use it to access iPhones holding potentially important information, sources close to police investigations said.

“The technique has been used in overdose cases,” Forbes explains READ MORE http://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/03/unlocking-iphones-fingerprints.html

The love-hate relationship between arch rivals, Apple and Samsung is known to everyone. Whenever one tech giant launches a smartphone, many of us wait for the other one to come up with a better one.

While Apple launched its premium flagship smartphone, iPhone X in November 2017, everyone was eagerly waiting for Samsung to launch its high-end smartphones, Galaxy S9 and S9+, which it did recently. So, who is the winner

Although, Galaxy S9+ that is powered by Snapdragon 845 SoC is certainly faster than any Android phone but it cannot outperform the A11 bionic-powered iPhone from Apple, the iPhone X. However, in a speed test video put together by YouTube channel Everything Apple Pro, the iPhone X has lost out to Galaxy S9+ purely in terms of performance.

While speed test aren’t really the most scientific way to assess the performance of a device, it does provide an insight on how fast the devices would work in real-life situations. It is also important to note that both the handsets consists of different hardware and software components, and their handling of processes too are different.

In the first lap that had “launching apps” as part of the speed test, the iPhone X emerged as the winner, as it was much faster than the Samsung S9+ while loading graphics-intensive apps and 4K videos. However, the second lap that focused on relaunching apps, saw the 6GB of RAM packed in the Galaxy S9+ take the lead and beat the iPhone X that comes with 3GB of RAM by a pretty decent margin. Basically, the extra RAM allows the Samsung Galaxy S9+ to open READ MORE http://www.achcodetechs.com/2018/03/apples-iphone-x-samsungs-galaxy-s9.html
