How To Play YouTube Videos In background While Multitasking

YouTube has one of the largest collection of video songs.Even after many song Apps like Saavn and Gaana,people still listen to songs on YouTube as new songs are released quite early as compared to these apps but as you are listening to your favorite song you get an email notification or whatsapp notification and as soon as you click on it,your music stops.



                                            credits-labnol
                                             
There were few apps like uListen,supertube,viral however they have been removed by google.Still there's one app which still works is Popup Video however it will play only initial five minutes and ask you to purchase the app.

So to help you out Here's a trick:
  
For Android

                                                                       Credits-Toi


1)The First requisite for this is a smartphone(just kidding),Mozilla Firefox browser.

2)Open YouTube Site in mozilla 

3)Go to settings and click on desktop tab,this will redirect you to desktop version of YouTube

Now you can work on different apps while listening to your favourite music in the background

For iOS


                                                     Credits-Toi


To be truthful there's no trick here and you might have come across this accidentally and if not we will make that happen

1) Just go to YouTube website on your safari and let the video play

2)Now when you tap on Home button you will see your video has stopped

3)Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and tap the Play button.

Now you can do whatever you want,however there's fall out that you have to remove the YouTube app else safari will redirect you to that app

SuperBeam For Faster File Sharing







Connectivity in phones have been developing along with mobile phones. It started with infra-red, then came bluetooth, then NFC and now the newest is WiFi Direct. Developers have formulated a new application called the SuperBeam which provides a faster file transfer process. 

Photo Credits-Google Play Store


SuperBeam uses WiFi Direct to share any file stored on the device with another device, this is possible on a device that runs Android 4.0 or later. If your device runs an older version of Android, the application will automatically switch to hotspot mode. You can pair the devices using QR codes or NFC, you do not need to install an QR reader application because it has an inbuilt QR scanner. Another feature that SuperBeam boasts is the ability to use an existing WiFi network to connect and share files between devices.


Features:

Share files between devices using NFC or QR code scanning.
Blazing fast transfer speeds using WiFi direct.
Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn't support WiFi direct.
Can use existing WiFi network connection between devices.
Share single or multiple files of any type (photos, videos, zip files, APK's)
Works with all 3rd party file managers and photo galleries.
Light and dark color themes.
Advanced settings


WiFi direct doesn't play well with custom ROMs. Please follow these steps to switch to hotspot (tethering) mode if WiFi direct is causing you issues:
Open SuperBeam scanner.
Tap options > settings.
Tap Advanced settings > Preferred direct method.
Choose Hotspot.
Close SuperBeam and try sharing again.

This application is available for free on Google Play Store.

So after installing it on your phone you could receive a popup message of notification on bottom of your screen which vanishes with your touch. Not only it notifies with your all phone's activities but also you can select whichever app notification you need. So in-case you need Whatsapp and Viber notifications that can be done in the settings. 


                                        

For so far we have tested the app works efficiently but as it's in beta mode it can have few bugs. 


                                         


After you install the app make sure you enable the status of the app from the settings. You can even customize the Pop-up style to two different shades consisting of Light and Dark.

No right,But there is someone thinking about it and who else would it be except Google.



Google launched a tool known as "Inactive Account Manager".Google on their blog said "Not a great name, we know — and you’ll find it on your Google Account settings page. You can tell us what to do with your Gmail messages and data from several other Google services if your account becomes inactive for any reason."

An "Inactive Account Manager" can be used to direct Google to pass on data from online venues such as Google Drive, Gmail, YouTube, or social network Google+ to particular people, or be deleted after being dormant for too long.

If you are facing problem on howto do it or setup your Inactive account manager CNET has explained it quite well on their website,Please have a look at it if you need help.

Dual boot windows 8 with windows 7

So windows has been launched for a quite a time now and you are still wondering whether to upgrade or not and not wanting to give up your older and favorite version,so here's what you can do,double boot windows 7 with windows 8 and can have both running on the same time and enjoy both.

Here's how you can do !!!

Step 1: Back up your current system

This is always a good practice when you are tweaking an operating system. The risk of losing data is usually pretty low, but you don’t want files to disappear the one and only time you didn’t back up.

Step 2: Create a new partition on your hard drive

\

Step 3: Obtain your copy of Windows 8

Depending on how you want to purchase the new OS, you can install it either by DVD or by USB drive. If you purchase a copy in your friendly local computer store, you’ll be using the DVD and DVD drive approach in the next step


Step 4: Install Windows 8 in the new partition



Step 5 :Install Windows 8




 On the next screen, select the Unallocated Space we created earlier and click Next.





Step 6: Dual-Booting

Make WhatsApp Free for Lifetime

"WhatsApp", A revolutionary messaging application  which completely eliminated the so called term 'SMS'. Now, people usually refer to the phrase "WhatsApp me" instead of "message me". Now, the problem with WhatsApp is that you have to pay 0.99$ on iOS to get it but once you purchase it, it's free for lifetime. Whereas, on Android and other platforms it's free for 1 year after which you have to pay 0.99$ every year to use it. Quiet disappointing. But there's always a way to get things for free and same goes for Whatsapp too. Today, I am gonna tell you how to make WhatsApp's subscription free for lifetime.



All you need is, 
  • - Apple Account 
  • - Patience 
  • - iPhone (temporary)
Let's begin. 

Starting of with 'Apple Account', you need to create one. Just download and install 'itunes' and from there you can easily create your Apple account.

Next comes 'Patience'. It's quiet a tradition on iOS where they giveaway various apps for free of cost. So, every year there's a period when 'Whatsapp' is completely free on iOS, i.e, lifetime subscription. 
So have patience and wait for that period to come. Don't worry, stay tuned to  technoisseur and we will let you know.

Finally, you need an 'iPhone' which you can easily borrow from one of your friends. Once you have downloaded WhatsApp from App store for free from your account, install it on your friend's iPhone with your own SIM card in it.(Don't Forget to first Log Out from his Apple account and then Log In via yours).
After installing, just enter the required data and done!!(Just for Safety message few of your buddies using iPhone and then log out from your Whatsapp's account).

Take out the SIM card and put it back into your Android phone, install WhatsApp in it via the usual procedure and then go to Settings -> Account -> Payment and you shall be greeted with this screen.



Now, I am not sure about this trick working on every single device or platform. But in-case you are having any sort of problem, feel free to comment below so that we can help you out.

Get Rid of Cell Broadcasting Messages [ROOTED]

All of us out there are annoyed of those buggy cell broadcasting messages and even turning it off manually(Messages --> Cell Broadcasts --> Settingsdoesn't seem to help. This particular problem is mostly experienced with custom ROMs. How to get rid of them?






Well, follow these steps and I'm sure you'll no longer be getting those 'alien-encrypted' broadcast messages.




  • - Open Terminal Emulator (Menu --> Terminal Emulator)  and switch to root using su command.
  • - Execute the following command :                                                                                                                    pm disable com.android.cellbroadcasterreceiver
  • - Once successfully executed, it'll return kill.
  • - Restart your phone and that's it. You're done. 



In order to turn it back ON, just replace disable with enable. But seriously, Why would you do that? 



Feel free to drop comments and share your thoughts.
