Mobile phone virus

A mobile phone virus is similar to a computer virus. You all know what a computer does and what those viruses are capable of. A mobile phone virus is specially designed for it and it spreads from one vulnerable cell phone to another.

Viruses now-a-days are quite advanced than the initial periods of its history in cell phones. They can corrupt your important data or simply erase it, if it has infected your phone. The latest viruses are capable of sending fake messages or even spreading by itself through the mode of bluetooth. The current security risk has increased to a considerable level than it used to be 4-5 years back.

Today many smart phones or PDAs are in use, and users of these phones are regularly exchanging executable or other vulnerable files increasing the risk of being infected. The cellular industry takes the threat of viruses very seriously and is continually monitoring its networks and working to protect users from any future risk from new viruses.

4. Always install an anti-virus software in your phone. Do not forget to keep it updated as new viruses and threats always arise.

5. Never lend your memory card to anyone. It might get infected if the person to whom you have lent you MMC has infected his phone and he/she inserts your card in his phone. Also remember not to insert someone else’s MMC in your handset since there are chances of his MMC containing a virus or malware

Preventing damage to the PCB should be the main aim as you lose warranty on the handset due to water-logging and in such cases most of the service centers don’t provide a new circuit board and it is also not available in the open market.

Steps to repair and fix water damaged cell-phone:

- Remove the battery immediately and don’t just switch-off the handset. The removing of the battery is a must.

- Now dismantle your cell phone carefully. To open your cell phone you need a torx T6 size screw driver and a tweezers. Remember the steps how you opened the phone as you will have to assemble it later!

- Dry the green colored circuit board carefully and completely. Use a hair drier or you can also dry it in sunlight or on the top of a TV or a computer monitor.

- Dry the spare parts and components carefully. Be careful with the LCD as it is very delicate.

- Clean the circuit board with spirit using a brush. This prevents corrosion on the PCB.

Now re-assemble your phone carefully and if all goes well, your cell phone should switch on without any hassles. If it fails to switch on, charge your handset and try again. If it doesn’t switch on now, luck is not on your side. You will have to get your phone repaired at a service center.

Note: If you are scared or not sure how to open your cell phone and follow these steps, don’t go ahead to repair the phone yourself. You are more likely to damage the handset further. Just remove the battery and let a professional cell phone repair engineer do the needful.

How to connect to internet on your computer by your phone using bluetooth connection on mac.?

Really simple to connect to computer to internet by your bluetooth enabled phones by following a simple step by step procedure provided your phone must have a bluetooth support.

There are two ways to connect your internet using bluetooth connection.

1. You can use the phone as a modem for a dial-up connection to the Internet service provider.

2. You can pair phone with your pc then using GPRS you can make your computer accessible to internet.

Most of the phone doesn’t have the in built feature of acting as a modem so i am going to explain the second method today.

Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant, in /Applications/Utilities.

Now pair the phone and the computer.

Select the option to Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection, as shown below.

Enter the connection setting information. If you are not sure what username, password, or other information needs to be entered, check with your mobile phone provider or your ISP for more information.

Finish the Setup Assistant, and then the phone should be ready to connect.

How to Increase Your MMC Space?

Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So, if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K even though your file is just 1K.

If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore a lot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.

You will need a card reader to do this:-

1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to “on”)

2. Do a format of the MMC using command line “format” and use the /A=size option.

Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Administrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone “format MMC” to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)

3. Copy back all files to MMC.

Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs
