import caller image for a contact from the user’s Facebook profile. One of the tricks embedded the profile picture to phone’s memory while the other one overlapped the default caller screen and started a slide show of user’s photo on Facebook. Now the problem with both of these methods I found was that I was not able to choose a specific photo from the user’s album and embed the image in the phone’s memory rather than creating a slideshow....

You obviously want something better. An iTunes user has this privilege and it comes pretty easy. All you need to do is, download the latest version of iTunes for your machine (depending on the operating system you are using) and turn on Home Sharing. With this you would be able to stream music from one machine to other, transfer files and access one another’s Library and Playlists. You should have a local home network (preferably, wireless) through which the devices are connected in order for Home Sharing to function....

The Case For Sync Passphrases Whenever you sign into Chrome, it readily begins to sync your browsing information with your Google Account....

Like its predecessor, the Sony WF-1000XM4 are true wireless earphones and offer active noise cancellation. Only this time, they are significantly smaller than the WF-1000XM3. But at the end of the day, is it just the size that differentiates the Sony WF-1000XM4 from the WF-1000XM3? Or, is there something more than it meets the eye? Well, that’s what we are going to find in this post as we pit the Sony WF-1000XM3 against the Sony WF-1000XM4 to see the differences....

The latest entry in mail apps for power users this time is Spark (free App Store), an app developed by Readdle, a company that is mostly known for document management apps. Personally, I don’t have to deal with a heavily cluttered inbox that often, which is why CloudMagic is my favorite mail iPhone app. But after using CloudMagic for a few months, I wondered how this simple, streamlined app would compare to Spark....

Taking a screenshot in stock Android means following some complicated steps, especially for a new Android user. I am not sure if ICS is going to change that, if it does, tell us in the comments. Keep in mind that I am talking about the stock Android version. However, the beauty of Android is that different handset manufacturers can bundle their own features with the OS, and hence you’ll find a way to capture screens quickly on most of the Android phones by top brands....

When it comes to Markdown editors, Windows might not have as many options as Mac, but the ones that are available are truly feature-rich in the classic Windows sense. WriteMonkey WriteMonkey might not be the best Markdown editor (the export options are tough to figure out), but it is one of the best distraction-free writing tools for Windows. The app is small, lightweight on the resources and portable by default....

Sometimes, when you are a user of Firefox, Chrome-envy can kick in. A standard aspect of Chrome that is unavailable in Firefox can become an object of desire and a craving can surface. In my Internet travels, Chrome’s Pin Tab feature is often a sought after addition to Firefox’s browsing experience. Lucky for you, there are a couple Firefox extensions that can add similar features to your beloved Firefox browser....

Technology brands, however, aren’t as simplistic. They are built by people, for the people. And not just people who love technology, but all kinds of people. Hence, brands do care about fashion and trends and appeal. How else can you explain a strangely curved phone that doesn’t really solve any issues but is aesthetically pleasing, sexy even? No matter how you describe the Galaxy S6 edge+, it certainly holds your attentions once you lay your eyes on it....

Those catchy lyrics come from the song “My Boo” by Ghost Town DJs. It originally debuted on a compilation album of various artists back in 1996 under Jermaine Dupri’s record label, So So Def Recordings. The album’s name is So So Def Bass All-Stars. “My Boo” actually the only song to ever be released by Ghost Town DJs. The chorus is what you’re hearing in so many Vine videos....

Though a majority of us wouldn’t admit, a straightaway solution was to quickly grab a screenshot of the post, for later references. Thankfully on December 2016, Instagram launched a feature which allowed users to directly save pictures and videos of their ‘Instagram followings’ through the Bookmarks feature. But this feature had a slight drawback — all the pictures, regardless of the categories, got mixed up. So, you might end up with images of gourmet food and sea beaches, all rolled together under a single roof....

Though at times, apps like Samsung Keyboard and Secure Folder prove to be quite helpful, others like Messages or Notes are yet to see improvements. The bottom line is that these apps are not enough to meet your daily usage requirements. To get the maximum potential out of the Galaxy Note 9, today we will be talking about eleven must-have apps for your Galaxy Note 9. What’s Not Here We haven’t added a few popular apps like Google Docs, Evernote, Spotify, 1Weather, SwiftKey, and Photos....

Some users face the access denied error when trying to open a file saved inside a folder instead. While we primarily focus on the folder side of things, these solutions should also give you access to the files in question due to how Windows functions and treats these two elements. Let’s begin. 1. Admin Rights The user account you are using to access the folder doesn’t have the necessary administrative rights to access it....

This trick especially comes in great use when a web page accidently gets closed. 2. Close a Tab Now that the work is done on a tab, clutching the mouse wheel to hover around the X button seem such a tedious task, right?...

Tech like smartphones can be quite expensive, however. It can be quite painful when these devices develop issues and need to be repaired. You can always take the device to the service center. However, in many cases, people tend to replace entire devices instead of attempting repairs. This process is quite wasteful and uses unnecessary resources on new products that aren’t absolutely needed. Wherever possible, products should be repaired. DIY repair is one way to go about this....
