How To Copy And Paste On Any Device

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy, cut, and paste. It’s an essential skill when using an electronic device. I’m sure many of you know how to do this on a computer, but what about on a tablet or smart phone? We’ll review them all.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">First, lets review the difference -</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Copy</strong> – making another copy of the words, paragraph or picture to be placed somewhere else, similar to a copy machine</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Cut</strong> – removing the selection entirely to be pasted somewhere else, just like cutting with scissors</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Paste</strong> – placing the selection that was cut or copied into a different location</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, the steps. On a PC, first you would need to highlight. This can be accomplished by using the mouse and dragging over the words until they are highlighted. You can also accomplish this with the shift key. Move your mouse to where you’d like to start copying, click and then hold the Shift key on your keyboard. Then click where you’d like to end the highlighting.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Once your text is highlighted, you can either use your mouse or some keyboard shortcuts. If you want to use the mouse, point to the highlighted selection and RIGHT click. You’ll see a menu pop up and you can choose copy or cut. If you’d rather use a keyboard shortcut, when the text is highlighted, hit CTRL-C for copy, or CTRL-X for cut.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Then move wherever you’d like to paste, right click, and in that menu hit paste. Or move wherever you’d like to paste and hit CTRL-V.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69897" height="292" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/copypaste.gif" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="449" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For a Mac computer, the process is the same, except the keyboard shortcuts. There is no CTRL key on a Mac keyboard. Instead, use the CMD button, or you can use the right click option.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For any touch screen device, like a tablet or phone, all you need to do is press and hold on the text.  On an Android device, you’ll see the highlighting start and you can drag the anchors to complete what you’d like to highlight. You’ll see a menu at the top that shows you options for copy  If you long press on something already highlighted, such as a web address, you will see a menu pop up like the one below. Then you can copy or cut and then paste to wherever you’d like, it’ll save to your clip tray.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone  wp-image-69899" height="122" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/cutpastemobile.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="301" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On an iOS device, when you press and hold you’ll see two anchors that you can drag to highlight a selection. You’ll also see the menu options to copy and paste.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69923" height="90" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/10/cutIOS.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="393" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also use the magnifier to assist with the selecting the word or words you’d like to highlight. When you first press and hold, this is what will come up to allow you to move to the exact word you want to start with.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-67704" height="259" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/08/magnify1.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="399" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, this will copy to a virtual clipboard and allow you to paste wherever you’d like.</span></div>

How to speed up your smartphone Wi-Fi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We’re all about showing you tricks and tips here and AndroidPIT. Today, we take a look and show you how you can speed up your Wi-Fi connection with a few tweaks! This can also work for 4G connections as well.\</div>
<figure style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 1.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="speed 3g teaser" src="http://fs04.androidpit.info/userfiles/6302145/image/speed-3g-teaser.png" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;">Improve the speed of your Wi-Fi on your smartphone or tablet. / © Speedtest.net</figcaption></figure><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Warning:</strong> Although the procedure we use for this is relatively safe, one of the ways to get it done requires a rooted device. If you’re planning on rooting your device, we always recommend that you backup your data beforehand.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #43a8da; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2.1rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.2; margin: 2.8rem 0px 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What is it?</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Basically, this tweak will modify the Android file system that is used by Android to connect to the Internet. The file contains a TCP / IP configuration used for the interchange of data and by modifying this configuration, we can change the way our device connects to networks. With this change, depending on the device and the mobile network used, you could expect to see an increase in download and upload speeds while on Wi-Fi, 3G, and even 4G connections.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #43a8da; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2.1rem; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.2; margin: 2.8rem 0px 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

How to Use Your Laptop as a Wi-Fi Hotspot

Have you ever been in a situation where you have no W-Fi router, just one network cable and five people who need to use the Internet? Or maybe you have a 3G dongle that works with your laptop, but leaves your Wi-Fi-only tablet offline. Sounds familiar? It would certainly be handy to share the Internet connection amongst all users and devices without a router, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

Or maybe this scenario will ring a bell. Many hotels offer wired Internet access for free, but charge you for Wi-Fi and/ or for using the Internet on more than one device. So should you just pay the crazy amount they ask for? Not necessarily.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
You can share your laptop or desktop Internet connection via Wi-Fi to other devices, and for the most part, it's quite simple. Mac users face no trouble at all, as setting up Internet sharing in OS X is just a couple of click away, but for Windows users the process can be a little bit more laboured. The built-in options don't always cut it due to the complicated setup and reliability problems.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">

Before you use any of these apps, you may want to check the steps on<a href="http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/share-internet-from-ethernet-to-Wi-Fi-hotspot-of-a/5501a6fe-a15b-4061-bd22-c339b3d85bdc" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.25s ease-in; color: #006699; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">Microsoft's site</a> to see Windows' built-in Internet sharing and see if you have better luck than we did. We do recommend that you skip that and use a third-party app instead, since the experience is usually much better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
We tested some popular apps that let you do this - Connectify and Virtual Router Plus. The latter didn't work very well for us. Our anti-virus flagged it as a threat and during installation it tried to make us install unwanted software.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
We didn't have the same issues with Connectify. It is a reliable app for turning your computer into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Before you proceed, know that you will need a Windows PC with a Wi-Fi adapter (or built-in Wi-Fi) to make this work. If your computer does not have Wi-Fi, then you can buy one that connects via USB, such as <a href="http://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-TL-WN723N-Wireless-USB-Adapter/dp/B004NWLW8U?tag=ndtvgadgetsco-21" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.25s ease-in; color: #006699; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">this one</a>.</div>

Here are the steps to setup your Windows machine was a Wi-Fi hotspot:</h2>

1. Download <a href="http://www.connectify.me/download/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.25s ease-in; color: #006699; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">Connectify</a> and install it. The installation is pretty straightforward and when installation is complete, restart your computer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
2. After restarting the computer, check whether it is connected to the Internet. If it is, run the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Connectify Hotspot</span> app.</div>

3. You'll see two tabs in the app - <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Settings</span> and <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Clients</span>. In the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Settings</span> tab, under "Create a..." click Wi-Fi Hotspot.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
4. Under <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Internet to Share</span>, you'll see a drop-down menu. Expand it and select the connection you want to share. We tested this app with a wired and a wireless connection and found that it worked perfectly with both.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
5. Under that, you'll see some more options. Add a Wi-Fi password. Click <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Start Hotspot</span>.</div>

That's all you need to do. Now other devices will detect a Wi-Fi network labelled Connectify-me. Key in the password and you're good to go.</div>

Connectify is a paid app, but it has a stripped down free version. You can create a hotspot with the free version, but the main limitation is that it automatically disconnects every 30 minutes and shows pop-ups asking you to buy the pro version. You'll have to re-enable the hotspot manually to start using it again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.699999988079071px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;">
The Pro version has more features and costs $25 (Rs. 1,550) for a year and $40 (Rs. 2,450) for a full licence. Apart from unlimited hotspot uptime, you get features such as custom hotspot naming, the ability to share Internet from 3G and 4G networks (for sharing USB Internet dongles), and advanced firewall controls (choose which devices can access Internet and personal files on your LAN).<br /></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong>99% of my Gmail is gone, including my folders where I was saving tech info. How do I get my Gmail message back?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><strong><br /></strong></em></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Logging in to your email and finding all your mail has gone is a sinking feeling that many of have experienced over the years. However, with any luck it is not gone for good. It may just be hidden from plain sight. Here are some of the usual suspects.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1. The Trash</span> – It may seem obvious, but the first place to look for your missing email is the Trash. Gmail will store emails in the Trash folder for 30 days, but after that, they will automatically be permanently deleted, so don’t delay if it has been a while since you have seen this mail.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Look for the Trash folder on the left hand side of your Gmail inbox, and click it.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="gmail trash" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58490" height="359" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/02/gmail-trash.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="284" /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If your emails are here select them all by clicking the checkbox above your emails</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Then click the folder icon to choose a folder to move your emails to.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, click Inbox to move your files back to your Gmail Inbox</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2. All Mail</span> – This one is less obvious. If your email is not in the Trash, it could be in the All Mail folder. This is where Gmail stores all your archived mail. This is mail that was not trashed, but archived using the archive button on the toolbar. However, the All Mail folder could be hidden from view. Here is how to find it.</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hover your mouse over the left hand side of your screen next to the Trash folder we just looked. You should see an option that says More.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">

<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Click the More button to reveal additional folders, including the All Mail folder.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="all mail" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58493" height="434" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/02/all-mail.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="273" /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Click All Mail to see if your emails are in this folder. If they are, you can repeat the instructions above to select the emails you want and move them to your Gmail inbox.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3. Spam</span> – It is possible that your email may have been accidentally moved to your Junk Mail folder by you or another user. You can find your Junk Mail folder in the same way you find your All Mail folder.</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hover your cursor over the left hand-side of your screen next to the Trash folder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Junk Mail folder is directly below the Trash.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="junk email" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58498" height="358" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/02/junk-email.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="272" /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4. POP/IMAP Email Clients</span> – Have you recently set up a third-party email client like Outlook or Thunderbird to collect your Gmail for you? If so, it is possible that it may not have been set up properly and was instead set to delete the email as soon as it was grabbed by your third-party email client. To check your POP settings, see below and any third party email clients that you have set up on your computer:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Click the Gear icon in the top right hand corner and select Settings</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">

<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Next click Forwarding and POP/IMAP at the top of the screen, and look to see if POP is enabled. If it is, be sure that it is NOT set to Delete Gmail’s copy.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="pop settings" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-58501" height="277" src="http://imgsrv.worldstart.net/images/ct-images/2014/02/pop-settings2-450x277.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="450" /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you use IMAP to access your Gmail, make sure that you use <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78892" style="color: #3b67a5; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Google’s recommended IMAP settings</a>.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you can’t find your email in any of these places, there is a high chance that your account has been compromised. You should immediately go to <a href="https://www.google.com/settings/security" style="color: #3b67a5; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/settings/security</a> and click the change password link to prevent any further unauthorized access to your account.</span></div>

Battery problems are one of the biggest concerns for smartphone users which is why we offer many useful tips and tricks to solve battery drain problems.

First of all, if you have had problems with the performance of your battery, you can consult our 16 tips and tricks to extend battery life on your Android smartphone. If you notice that the performance continues to decline, then it’s time to try to calibrate the battery. One of the most obvious signs that it’s time is when your mobile battery drains quickly or the device won’t charge.</div>

The Android operating system has a setting called Battery Stats which indicates the battery capacity, when it is full or empty. The problem is that it sometimes become corrupted and starts displaying data that isn’t real, which causes the phone to turn off before reaching the 0%. The process of calibrating the battery would correct the information.</div>

Once loaded to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not load until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly.

First, install the Battery Calibration app :</div>
<div class="installButton" style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(240, 240, 240); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: table; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; outline: 0px; padding: 1rem; vertical-align: middle; width: 628px;">

To start, connect your device to charge until the battery reaches 100%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then open the Battery Calibration app and check the number of 'mV ' that are next to the percentage, a number that will continue to rise. If the number continues to grow even if the battery is at 100 %, continue to charge the phone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When the numbers stop rising and the battery is charged to 100%, press the Battery Calibration button and then restart the device. The current level will be recorded as the point of maximum capacity and the old information is deleted in the Battery Stats when a new one with the correct data is created.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If this method didn’t work, try method 2.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Go into recovery mode on your Android and navigate to the Advanced section where you will find the "wipe battery stats" option. This will erase any previously made calibration either by the user or when having installed a ROM .</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Second, you have to fully drain the battery and then connect the phone to the charger. Charging must be carried out without interruption and with the device off.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When the load reaches 100%, turn it on again without disconnecting from the charger and open the Battery Calibration application. Click on the center button, which will prompt SuperUser permissions to pop up that you will have to accept. Shortly after a message saying ‘calibration succeeded" will appear. Press OK, unplug the device from the charger and close the application.</div>

The humble mouse is one of the most ubiquitous peripherals associated with computers. When you use a laptop, you may opt to connect a mouse, but how would you like the idea of use a trackpad or touch pad on a regular computer? It doesn’t matter if you're using a Moto X or Nexus 5, or have a larger screened phone such as a Note 4 or a Nexus 6, you can use your Android phone as a mouse or trackpad to control your computer. Using Remote Mouse you can use just about any phone or tablet to control your computer. You can also use the app as a keyboard for text input.</div>

The large screen of a phone such as the Nexus 6 is great for use as a trackpad, but smaller-screened phones work just as well. Getting up and running with Remote Mouse is a two-step process; you'll need to install the app on our phone, and install software in your computer as well.</div>

Remote Mouse will perform a network scan and should detect your computer running the desktop software. Establish a connection by clicking the name of your computer in the list that is displayed. You can then check out the simple instructions about how to use.</div>
<figure style="border: 0px; margin: 1.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="4 remote mouse" src="http://fs04.androidpit.info/userfiles/6713134/image/4-remote-mouse.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;">Gestures can be performed on your Nexus 6's screen to control the mouse cursor.</figcaption></figure><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A regular click of the left mouse button takes nothing more than a tap of your phone's screen, while a right click can be achieved by tapping with two fingers at the same time. To mimic the actions of a mouse scroll wheel, place two fingers on the screen and move then up and down. To grab hold of a window or other on-screen object, you can double tap and drag. Click Got It, and you're ready to control your computer.</div>
<figure style="border: 0px; margin: 1.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="5 remote mouse" src="http://fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/6713134/image/5-remote-mouse.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;">Remote Mouse has an on-screen keyboard, but you can hide it if you don't use it. </figcaption><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">You'll notice that there is a green area in the top portion of the screen, and this is where you use your phone as a trackpad – just move your finger around and the mouse cursor will follow suit. In the bottom half of the screen you can use your regular Android keyboard to send key presses to your computer – you can hide this by tapping the down arrow to the left of the screen if you are only interested in the trackpad option.</span></figcaption></figure><figure style="border: 0px; margin: 1.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="6 remote mouse" src="http://fs04.androidpit.info/userfiles/6713134/image/6-remote-mouse.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;">You can even switch apps and shut down your computer from you Moto X. </figcaption></figure><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are a few other little things that Remote Mouse can so. Tap the monitor icon in the row of buttons and you can access an app switcher for jumping between applications on your computer. Scroll over to the right and you'll find a button that allows you to shut down and restart your computer from your phone.</div>
<figure style="border: 0px; margin: 1.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="7 remote mouse" src="http://fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/6713134/image/7-remote-mouse.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><figcaption style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.2rem; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;">Left-handed? Not a problem... Remote Mouse can cope! </figcaption></figure><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You should find that everything just works as it should but there are a few settings you might want to investigate. Just as with your regular mouse, you can slow down the speed of cursor movement as well as scroll speed, and if you are left-handed, you can switch the position of the buttons.</div>

Have you tried using your phone as a mouse either as an emergency measure or just because you like the idea of using a trackpad with your computer?</div>
