How To Transfer Files Between iPhone and Mac Over Wi-Fi

Wires are the part of Old Timers,but, we still need them to charge our electronic devices, the world hasn’t gone that far that they could start charging devices wirelessly. Still I would love to see that time, when people will complain that they are having electric shocks in mid-air, someone else is stealing their power because they didn’t put the password to protect the wireless charging, it would be a fun to watch those moments. However, that time is far away and we have to concentrate on the point that modern technology let us transfer files and other type of data over the Wi-Fi connection, the limitations are there, but more than enough, you don’t need to take your cables everywhere just to transfer data between devices using Wi-Fi connectivity.

At first we saw this feature in Android, Wi-Fi File Transfer Pro, lets you transfer files between Android devices and PC or Mac, no matter how huge that file it, the transfer speed was almost 2MB. no matter how much slow or fast your internet is. All you need was to put the given URL by the app in the Browser and you’ll see everything you have in your Phone in that particualr window where you pasted the URL, from thereon, you can select and upload files or select and download files. The Same Process is now brought in the iPhone, after a long time, though it is better to have something than nothing. We will use WifiTransfer App in this process, cause I found it far useful than any other, in fact that was the only one I found.

How To Use WifiTransfer App:

IMG_1630

  1. Download the App from App Store.
  2. After the installation, Open the app.
  3. Now on PC or Mac, you’ll need modern browser like FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari Works too.
  4. On the Bottom left corner of app, you’ll see a switch.
  5. Tap on it to see a Web Address.
  6. Open the Browser on PC/Mac and type that address.
  7. Now you’ll see the Dashboard of that app to transfer files.
  8. Click on Choose file and once you are done, Tap the Upload button to upload them.
  9. The app will sort the Files itself, you don’t have to go and categorize the files manually.
  10. However, there is no progress bar to tell you the Progress, once the transfer is done, you’ll be notified and that is the only way to know the progress.

How is your experience with the app, do let us know in the comments

Hide Files and Photos In iPhone – How To

Surely you can keep your device away from a lot of people, just by putting a Passcode on it, but on iOS that Passcode is of 4 digits only and if anyone sees it, you are done. That person can explore your whole device while you are taking a nap or a bath or not paying attention towards the device. On the other hand, if you have kids who doesn’t know much about your device, and only wants to use it to play games on it, you have some sensitive data saved on your iPhone and don’t want it to be deleted or manipulated in any way, especially by the hands of little ones, then what you need to do is to make sure that these files remain hidden from others, the reason can be anything else that what I mentioned, who know you wanted to hide something from your Girlfriend,who pays close attention to what you do or how you do.

The Simplest and easiest way is to upload it to the DropBox, but recently we heard that most of the DropBox accounts were compromised and besides you need an active internet connection to visit DropBox everytime, and you don’t want to feel embarrassed while you want to show someone something good and you can’t simply because you don’t have an active internet connection. In such cases, some of the 3rd party apps comes in handy, now on Android, you’ll find plenty of them, however, on iOS you have the iVault, which is available in both free and paid versions, of course paid version won’t disturb you with ads and pop-ups, while the free version won’t let you go without them. Without further ado, let’s see how we can use this iVault.

 

How To Hide Data in iPhone:

  • Download, install and launch iVault.

Clear the Google Chrome DNS cache on Windows 7,8,8.1 [ Guide ]

Sometimes users complain that they are having problems with the host connection, that they are experiencing some errors in host connection while using Google Chrom or any other browser. The reason is quite simple, it is time for you to flush the DSN cache of your Browser, Domain Name System is just a small databank that stores all the IP addresses of any website you visit or access. The main purpose of this databank is to let you access that IP easily, when the serves changes or they create new servers. When the IP address changes and they change the server, you, sometimes, experience the DNS error. The reason of this error is that you might have accessed that site a lot more times and the Previous IP is saved in the Cache and it is not saving the new one. In such cases, Clearing the DNS Cache comes in handy.

The Process is quite simple and can be done through any of the Browser, whether it is Chrome or Firefox. You can even solve this problem using the command prompt window in Windows 7 or 8, some codes can be run and you’ll get a brand new DNS cache to save new IPs of old or new sites. To Flush the DNS cache, Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open Google Chrome and Type chrome://net-internals/#dns.

Step 2: Now look for active entries, that means your Browser has saved the number of Active entries in Cache.

Step 3: Now look for the button saying, Clear hot cache. Click it more than once to make sure that it works.

Step 4: Now Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#sockets or Click the DNS and select Sockets.

Step 2: Now Type ipconfig/flushdns and press Enter to flush the DNS cache

Screen Shot 2014-10-16 at 01.47.55

Step 3: Now Type ipconfig/displaydsn to see whether the DNS has been flushed or not

Step 4: If you receive the message saying “Could Not Display the DNS Resolve Cache”, then that means you are successful.

Unlock Moto 360’s Bootloader & Root It [How To]

Although It’s been quite long since the concept of smart watches came into being, but a competition was yet to start. This credit goes to Samsung, that introduced the Galaxy Gear, the very first smart watch of its own kind and kick started a new gadget war. Before the Galaxy Gear,  smart watches from Sony and some other manufacturers didn’t get the spotlight as much as the Galaxy Gear got. The original Gear ran on Android, and packed up some features that were mouth watering. This new revolution urged Google to introduce a complete new Android OS for the wearable gadgets only, and then other manufacturers followed Samsung’s footsteps and came up with their smart watches and some other wearables.

Google unveiled Android for wearables, named as Android Wear at Google I/O developer’s conference 2014, at the same time, it also shown off a round smart watch, the Moto 360. The Moto 360 eventually wins the ground when it stands in competition with its rivals like LG’s G-Watch, Samsung’s Galaxy Gear 1, 2, Gear S and Gear Fit, and now, even Apple has jumped in the competition and unveiled its Apple Watch. While playing with the Galaxy Gear and Gear Fit for a while, I was able to conclude that Samsung has done a great job, but as soon as coming across Moto 360, the watch took all of my attention. At first, Moto 360 sports a great design. The watch looks likes some premium and classic wrist watch, the metallic round frame is eye-catching. The very thing I was disappointed with, on the Galaxy Gear was its battery life, while Motorolla has learnt quite a lot from Samsung’s mainstream wearable gadget and placed a good battery inside the Moto 360.

Moto 360 runs on Android Wear, and now that Android is there, the watch becomes customizable. Any device that runs Android, can probably be rooted and it’s real potential can be unleashed by putting up the applications that require root access.  The advantage I had after rooting my Galaxy Gear was I was able to run some non-gear applications on the watch, make some tweaks, load custom recovery and other stuff. Something similar can be done here as well. You can definitely move here and there by running root applications, flashing mods and other stuff on your Moto 360 and get the maximum out of it once you’ve rooted it. Before you head towards the rooting your Moto 360, you will have to unlock the bootloader as well as you are going to flash a boot.img file in order to gain the root access, once you’ve unlocked you’re all set to perform root operations.

Moto 360 Product Template - SPEEDO

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting your Moto 360 might not be a tough job, but the only tough thing you will be coming across is connecting your Moto 360 to your PC. Unlike the Galaxy Gear smart watches, the Moto 360 doesn’t have a dock that let’s the users connect it with a PC. Moto 360 supports wireless charging. ADB is supported over bluetooth, but you won’t be able to issue any fastboot commands until and unless you make a connector and connect it to your PC.

Let’s go through the steps one by one and get the whole procedure done.

Early preparations:

1. This guide is only for Motorola Moto 360

Make sure that your device is exactly as mentioned above. In case you try this method on any other device, you might end up killing your device permanently.

2. Battery should be charged at least 60%!

Your device’s battery shouldn’t be weak. In case your device goes dead during the flashing process, your device may get soft bricked and you might be in need of flashing stock firmware and that will ultimately result in wiping up your data as well. So, make sure that you charge your device before you start the flashing process.

3. Install Android ADB & Fastboot and Motorola USB Drivers

Make sure that you’ve installed and setup ADB & Fastboot drivers. Here’s our quick Minimal ADB & Fastboot guide. Apart from that, you need to have the Motorola USB drivers installed on your PC as well. Find all Android USB drivers here.

4. Create a custom USB connector for your Moto 360

As mentioned above, this is going to be the hardest part. Moto 360 doesn’t support any USB connecter, it charges wireless and supports ADB over Bluetooth. But to unlock the bootloader, you need to perform Fastboot commands and that’s not possible without USB connection. Here’s a very nice method by RootJunky that will help you to create a custom USB cable for your Moto 360.

5. Disclaimer:

This is a highly custom method. We shall not be held responsible in case you end up bricking your device or any other mishap happens. Make sure that whatever you’re going to do, you’re doing at your own risk. Neither us, nor the device manufacturer should be pointed at later on.

How To Unlock Bootloader Of Your Moto 360 Now:

  1. Turn off your Moto 360 completely.
  2. Now turn on your Moto 360 by pressing and holding the Power Key. Keep key pressed until your Moto 360 vibrates thrice and takes you to the bootloader screen showing the bootloader version number atop.
  3. Now connect your Moto 360 to your PC using the connector you made using the guide linked above. Make sure that you connect your device properly. Just in case this part goes wrong, you might end up bricking your Moto 360.Moto 360 Connector
  4. Now open Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe file from your desktop.
  5. Now issue the following command
    1. adb devices

  6. This will enlist the devices connected to your PC in adb mode. You can verify the connection of your Moto 360 by seeing its serial number on the screen.  Once done verifying the connection, issue this command
    1. fastboot oem unlock

  7. Once done, reboot your device by issuing this command
    1. fastboot reboot

  8. Phewww! That’s all. You’ve unlocked your Moto 360’s bootloader successfully now.

How to Root Moto 360 Now:

  1. Download KGW42Nrooted_boot.img.
  2. Renamed the downloaded .img file to “Boot.img” only.
  3. Now copy the renamed file to the Minimal ADB & Fastboot installation directory. This should be located under program files in your Windows drive.
  4. Now open the Minimal ADB & Fastboot.exe to launch command prompt.
  5. Reboot your Moto 360 into bootloader mode using the method in step 2 above.
  6. Now connect your Moto 360 to your PC using the customized connector.
  7. Now in the Minimal ADB & Fastboot command window, issue the following command
    1. fastboot flash boot boot.img

  8. This will root your Moto 360 and it will reboot once done.
