Download Android Voip App by Fring

Raju — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:27:53 +0000

This is a great news for all Android fans and owners. You can now make Voip calls using Skype for Free using Fring App for Android phones. Fring is a popular application that lets anyone make free Skype, Google Talk, MSN, or SIP calls from any phone and now they have launched an app for Android as well. This is the first major VOIP app for Android.

Skype for Android + IM + much more = Fring

Making free Skype calls from a Wi-Fi connection on your handset is a pretty neat feature in itself, but Fring aims to be a universal call and chat coordinator. It works just as expected, over EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.

The app lets users make free calls, live chat, contact availability status, file share and more with friends on fring and several social services including Skype, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo! and AIM. Centralized from one integrated contact list, fringsters also make calls to regular phone lines via Skype-Out and hundreds of popular SIP services over 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi internet connection.

Twitter is also integrated, and it looks like the fring app works with any version of Android.

Download Fring Voip App for Android phones

Fring for Android can be downloaded via Android Market, or directly to your phone via Fring’s WAP site at m.fring.com

Along with Android, Fring is available for iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Symbian phones.

Buy Nokia N900 Maemo Unlocked Phone for $559 [Gadget Deals]

Raju — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:38:30 +0000

Here is a quick heads up on the availability of Nokia N900 Unlocked mobile phone in US and the best deal available as of date. Nokia N900 began shipping to other parts of the world earlier this week and has just arrived in US. N900 is undoubtedly a powerful gadget and the best bet against Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android. Just recently, Nokia announced that from now on all the models under the N-series will now be powered by Maemo OS.

The N900’s hardware specs are equally impressive to match: ARM Cortex A8 processor, 256 MB of dedicated RAM, 32 GB of storage expandable via microSD, full QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel camera, and a 3.5-inch touchscreen at 800 x 480 resolution. It features native Adobe Flash support for full-featured web browsing, with even the ability to run Google Wave.

Best Deal for Nokia N900 Unlocked phone

I must admit that I was unhappy to see the pricing of Nokia N900, especially the unlocked version of it. Nokia has priced it at $649 which is definitely on a higher side. Luckily, Amazon has a nice offer going on where it would cost $559 after $50 rebate and Free Shipping.

GPS, WiFi, YouTube Fix After Blackra1n Jailbreak for iPhone 3.1.2

Raju — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:03:57 +0000

Its been 2 weeks since the teen whiz-kid GeoHot released blacksn0w to unlock iPhone 3.1.2. Blackra1n RC3 was released along with it for those who wanted to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2.

Most of the people who jailbroke/unlocked their iPhones using blackra1n/blacksn0w had zero problems, while the unfortunate few were left with minor hitches like, unable to access wi-fi, GPS and push notifications failure. Since many of you have been asking for the tutorial, here it is:

WiFi fix

1. On your iPhone home-screen, tap on the “Settings” icon.

2. In the Settings menu, tap on “General“. Scroll to the bottom of the General menu.

3. In the General menu, tap on “Reset“. Then tap “Reset Network Settings“.

4. Reboot your iPhone by holding down the sleep/wake button and sliding to turn off.

Resetting your network setting will fix your WiFi problem temporarily. The problem will come back once you have rebooted your iPhone again. You will have to reset your network settings pretty much every time you reboot your iPhone.

Push Notification Fix (GPS, Youtube)

1. Open Cydia.

2. If Cydia prompts you for updates, install them all.

3. In Cydia, tap on the “Manage” tab at the bottom of the screen.

4. Tap on the “Sources” button.

5. Tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen and then tap the “Add” button in the top left corner.

6. Type in http://cydia.iphoneil.net and then tap “Add Source“.

7. Now tap on the “Done” button in the top right corner of the screen.

8. Tap on the “Search” tab on the bottom of the screen and type in “pushfix & youtube“.

9. Select “pushfix & youtube” from the list of search results and then tap “Install” in the top right corner of the screen and then tap “Confirm“.

10. Restart your iPhone. Now go to Settings and enable WiFi again.

11. Reboot you iPhone again. You should now be able to connect to Youtube again without any problems!

Track and Recover iPhone via Theft-Recovery app

Raju — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:04:39 +0000

Without a doubt, iPhone is THE MOST popular smartphone in the world and hence we the risk of thefts increases proportionately. We had seen 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone sometime back and one of the commentators, asked me about Orbicule which was not part of the list. When I started digging up more information on Orbicule, I realized that I had made a mistake by not including it in my original list.

So what? Here is a separate dedicated post to introduce this wonderful theft recovery app for iPhones. Mind you, if you have come here looking for an already lost iphone or an already stolen iPhone, there is nothing much I or this app for that matter anyone else can do. This post must act as a warning for every iPhone/iPod Touch user to start safeguarding their loved gadgets.

Orbicule’s Undercover is the leading theft-recovery app for Mac over the years and now, they have an app available for iPhone and iPod Touch gadgets. Undercover is the first iPhone app that uses push notifications to track and locate your stolen phone.

Track your Stolen iPhone

Undercover can help you locate any lost or stolen iPhone or iPod. Undercover can covertly transmit your device’s location and IP address to authorities when you report it as lost or stolen.

Upon registration, you will receive your own Undercover web account at UndercoverCenter. Every time the Undercover application is launched, the phone’s location and IP information is stored in your web account. You can then login to your account to track the device.

Thanks to the clever use of push notifications, the latest version (1.5) even allows you to remotely launch Undercover on the stolen iPhone in order to track the thief’s location. Undercover also comes in handy when you have lost your iPhone: as soon as you set a message for the finder, the phone will ring and Undercover will display the alert on top of any application that might be running. When the finder views the message, Undercover will transmit your phone’s location.

I suggest you enter device-identifiable IDs (WiFi address, IMEI, ICCID and serial number, all found in General->About section of iPhone’s Settings app) into the “iPhone info” section of the web interface.

Reporting a Stolen or Lost iPhone

When Undercover is launched on a stolen iphone, the app pretends to be loading a game. This should encourages a thief to wait, giving the app necessary time to obtain accurate location. Even if a thief quits the app, it will transmit last most accurate location to the cloud. This is assuming the device is ‘online’. Even if it is ‘offline’ it will cache the location details and transmit to the cloud whenever the device goes ‘online’ at a later time! Fantastic!

Access the web interface with a desktop browser to report a stolen device. You can also enter the case number and police contact information, including an email address. The next time Undercover is launched it displays a custom message that you can set in the web interface when you reported a lost device. The finder (assuming a good Samaritan and not a thief) will also see a handy Call Owner button that can be tapped to place a phone call to you, also set in the web interface.

Whenever the cloud receives location of the device reported either stolen or lost, you’ll receive an email alert.

Does having undercover is enough?

Unfortunately, the answer is NO. Undercover isn’t bullet-proof solution and there are several limitations that you need to be aware of. Following are the limitations I can think of:

1. It is always expected that the thief/finder runs the Undercover app atleast once.
2. If you have enabled PIN on your iPhone, the service won’t work because thieves need to be able to access iPhone’s apps in order to launch Undercover.
3. A clever thief will remove the Undercover app from your device manually.

But then, Orbicule claims that, their free helper app – FOUND increases the recovery chances.

Helpers applications work like ‘honeypots’ and they know how to send your phone’s location information to your Undercover account, just like the regular Undercover app. So even if the thief removes Undercover from the iPhone, the helper apps can still locate a lost or stolen device.

But again, it is expected that Found app is launched on a lost or stolen device at-least once. The good thing is, it just costs $4.99, which is like lesser than insurance cover! And Orbicule promises money-back guarantee if Undercover fails to recover your stolen iPhone! This should encourage you, isn’t it?

Ultimate List of FREE Android Apps – Part 1

Raju — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:41:01 +0000

Google Android OS has come out to be a major competitor at-least to Windows mobile OS and Nokia’s Symbian OS, if not for Apple’s iPhone. Some of the latest Smart-phones like Motorola Droid, T-Mobile’s G1 and G2, HTC Hero etc feature Google Android OS.

Just like Apple’s App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch, Google too has its own App Store called Google Android Market. Though the Android market is relatively news, there are thousands of Apps already and if you have just bought an Android phone, it is quite obvious that you will be dying to try out some Free Android apps on your brand new phone. There are hundreds of Free Apps already in Android Market which makes your job of picking up the best apps even more difficult. Hence, we at TechPP have done all the hard work for you and have come out with a list of super cool, useful and crazy apps for your Android phone.

This is the first article in the series of posts which will introduce the best free apps available for your Android Phone.

5. PicSay

PicSay is a small app that lets you edit and modify photos on your phone. You can add speech balloons, any of a range of text styles, and images like hearts and stars to your photos. Or if you’re feeling less whimsical, you can modify the picture’s contrast, tint, hue and saturation levels; flip and rotate your image; and do other basic editing tasks.

6. Live Chat

8. iSkoot

iSkoot is a free app for Android phones that puts Skype on your mobile. Click to call or chat with your Skype buddies! Make inexpensive international calls with iSkoot, as well, through SkypeOut. This is similar to iSkoot app for iPhone.

9. ShopSavvy

ShopSavvy is all about the deals. Enter a product name or barcode (using the keypad or the camera), and ShopSavvy identifies the product, searches the Web and local chain stores for the best prices, and collects reviews of the item.

10. Ringdroid

Ringdroid app for Android lets you create free ringtones from your favorite songs. Just load a song onto your SD card, select start and end points, and save it as a ringtone, alert or notification. You can even record your own ringtones with Ringdroid.

11. Google Voice

Google Voice is a new service from Google that gives the user his own personal phone number. You then can use your Google Voice number to make phone calls or send SMS messages from the web. And the Android app lets users do the same from their Android device. This means users can make and receive calls and text messages on your Google Voice number through your phone. Google Voice also archives all voice mails and SMS messages online, so you will never lose that important message.

12. ActionComplete

ActionComplete is a high-tech to-do list for your Droid phone. It makes it easy to organize your tasks and appointments. You can even set reminders that will pop up based on where you are, allowing you to remind yourself of certain tasks at the office, others at the home, and so on.

13. Astrid

Astrid is a solid task manager developed by Google. Tasks are easy to add and easy to check off when you’re done. You can also add a timer to help you build that sense of urgency.

14. TooDo

TooDo is another task management application, with online syncing, either with Toodledo or Remember the Milk. Synchronization is both ways – tasks created or marked completed on TooDo can be seen online, and vice versa. It also has a couple of really nice features – first, you can add voice, photo, and video notes to your tasks, and second, you can set geographical reminders to pop up whenever you’re in a specific location (based on the GPS).

15. Meebo IM

Meebo is a free Instant Messaging app that supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo, MySpace IM, Google Talk, Jabber and ICQ. You can also sign in using a Meebo account and your chat history will be saved forever, and can be accessed from anywhere by logging in at meebo.com

16. TuneWiki

TuneWiki is a replacement for Android’s built-in media player, offering a number of nice features. Most notable is the lyric scroll, which pulls lyrics off the Internet and scrolls them along with the song. It can also be integrated with Last.fm and Shoutcast radio streaming, YouTube video search.

17. Meridian

Meridian is yet another media player app which can play back MP3, OGG, MP4, and 3GPP files, and offers up basic playlist and gesture support. It’s pretty ugly, but it gets the job done.

18. Flixster

Flixster does one thing, and it does it well: Movies. It keeps you up to date on everything new in the movie world, be it for the box office or the rental store, complete with movie times (by way of GPS), community-driven user reviews, and trailers.

19. PostBot

PostBot is an open source app for posting text and images to Wordpress blogs. You can set up multiple blogs and choose which to post to from the settings. This is a great little app for posting quick thoughts and photos from your Android phone.

20. PF Voicemail+

PhoneFusion’s Voicemail+ offers a really slick way to get visual voicemail on your Android phone. You need to register for a free account and forward your voicemail to them. Once it’s set up, you’ll be able to scroll through your voicemails, listen to the ones you want and ignore the ones you don’t, delete messages, and respond by text.

21. Video Player

Video Player app from Android Tapp does exactly what it says: It plays videos, a function that Google mysteriously chose to leave out of Android. Video Player isn’t fancy; you can play, pause, move backward and forward through the video, and that’s it.

22. Sherpa

Sherpa is an Android app that helps you find new places based on your own personal preferences. Sherpa “learns” your likes and dislikes, then uses your location information to suggest restaurants, stores, and attractions in your area that might float your boat.

23. GDocs

Since Android is a Google product, the absence of an app for viewing and editing documents and spreadsheets from Google Docs would just be wrong. That’s where Art Wild’s GDocs comes in, allowing users to view spreadsheets and to create, edit and view word processor documents from their Google Docs account. Please note that the editing is strictly text-only.

24. Imeem Mobile

You can play music off your phone’s SD card or stream music over the Internet with Imeem’s mobile player. Imeem offers several ways to listen once you’ve created a free user account: Upload tracks from your computer and listen to them under the “My Music” tab, create on-the-fly radio stations from music similar to your favorite artists using the “Search” function, or listen to featured stations put together by Imeem’s staff and other users.

25. Palringo

Palringo is similar to Meebo which integrates multiple IMs into 1 app. You can access Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Facebook and other IM networks with Palringo. You can create groups at will, but only other Palringo members can take part.

This is it for the first part of the series. Hope you liked the post. Please share/bookmark the post in case you found this useful. Let us know which is your favorite app and which are the ones you use often. In case you like an app which is not yet covered here, feel free to share it so that we can include it in our next part of the series.

Fix for the iPhone Worm – ‘ikee’

Raju — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:39:48 +0000

If your iPhone is jailbroken and if you see the below image as your home screen, it is time to tighten your ~~pants~~ security and fix your worm affected iPhone.

A hacker named ikex has created what’s apparently the first iPhone worm, and it’s currently infecting jailbroken iPhones across Australia. The “ikee” worm, as it’s being called, takes advantage of the fact that jailbroken iPhones with SSH installed all have the same default root password of “alpine,” and once in the system it changes your wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley and then tries to install itself on other jailbroken iPhones on the network. On the top of the screen it says “ikee is never going to give you up”. If you have been affected, luckily there is no harm done as this virus was more of an experiment than anything else.

Once an iPhone has been infected by ikee, it automatically starts searching for other iPhone’s on the cellular network that use the root:alpine username/password combination. Once it finds another vulnerable iPhone, it installs itself and begins the process again and this goes on like a nuclear chain reaction. ikee virus will disable SSH access on your iPhone and will change the background image to that of “Rick Astley” as can be seen in the screenshot above.

To protect your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch from ikee virus attack or any other similar attacks in the future, you must change your default SSH password now.

How to Change Default SSH Password and Fix ikee Virus on iPhone?

1. Go to Cydia and search for MobileTerminal app and then install it on your iPhone. Once you have successfully installed MobileTerminal, reboot your iPhone.

2. Start MobileTerminal app and type the following command to change the root password

login

Press enter. And then type

root

as your login and ‘alpine‘ as your current root password.
After logging in, Type

passwd

Press enter.

3. It will now prompt you to enter a new password (twice). Simply enter your desired new password again.

Now. it should all be fine.

Google Wave App for iPhone – WaveBoard

Raju — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:11:55 +0000

Remember the Google Wave Desktop Client – Waver? Now, we have a smilar app exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch – WaveBoard. The Waveboard app will cost you 99 cents, but it’s a much faster way to check your Waves than loading them up in the built-in Safari browser of iPhones.

Must Read: Ultimate List of Google Wave Gadgets and Tools

As you can expect, WaveBoard app for iPhone displays ‘waves’ and lets you search historical ones, start new ones and manage your contacts. It also opens external links in a custom browser without the need to leave the app. Waveboard also supports push notifications through a workaround (you need both the Prowl iPhone app and the Mac version of Waveboard), although they have promised proper push notifications in the future releases.

You can shake your device to logout and reload your Waves. It sounds like right now is the time to jump on Waveboard (iTunes link), in case future features come with a higher price.

Walmart Black Friday Deals – XBox 360 at $199 + $100 Gift Card

Raju — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:22:48 +0000

Black Friday might still be 3 weeks away, but we are seeing plethora of Black Friday Deals already pouring in. November 27th 2009 is the magic shopping day where people literally kill and die over low prices on all manner of things they don’t need.

Walmart seems to be doing something new to avoid this trend, however, by offering some pretty tasty deals in the weeks leading up to Black Friday. It starts this weekend, with an impressive deal for gamers.

If you go into the store on Saturday, November 7, you’ll be able to pick up the Arcade Xbox 360 system for $199—the normal price—but for that day the system will come with a $100 gift card. May be you can use that gift card to buy a shiny new PlayStation 3 to keep off your kid brother or your painful dad! So, now for just about 400 bucks, you will be a proud owner of an XBOX 360 and a PS3! You could even get a Wii and the Arcade Xbox 360 for $300. Or you could just buy a game or two for your new 360.

There are other deals as well, a HP laptop for $300, Sony Blu-ray Player for $150 and few deals on Plasma/LCD TVs. Walmart is clearly trying to gain advantage over other dealers by starting way before the Black Friday. I expect other dealers to follow the suit. If you end up buying one of these, do let us know how it went. Thanks ars for the heads up.
