Hey whats up guys? This is Santhosh kumar for a tut.

This problem is caused by the damaged peripherals mostly. But don't worry this could also be due to the cmos problems. CMOS is a battery which is placed in your cpu's motherboard. This also acts as a RAM. Taking this as an issue will let you diagnose the problem from the basic test. But sadly there are no ways to identify if that causes the problem in your CPU. Some people might find the odd functions of their CPU fans and the casing fans. This could also probably be a symptom of the CMOS trouble causings.

This will lead you through the fix. If you some basica about the CPU, motherboard then you could have closed this tab already. If you are still reading this you absolutely have'nt found the solution yet from the above texts. Don't worry, I'll help you.

The picture shown here is the CMOS that i mentioned above. You will have to replace this one with a new one. The price of this CMOS ranges from 10 INR to 20 INR. So changing this will not be a problem..

Remove your CPU chassis and keep your screws safe.

Remove your RAM before you perform this action.

Then find the place where the CMOS is in your CPU.

I said so because, this changes from CPU to CPU even with the same OEM.

Now replace the CMOS with a new one.

Now you know what to do.

Run the computer now.

If you still get the error, check your /vga cable which connects your monitor and the CPU. Some CPUs might have two VGA connector ports as in mine. So plug in the monitor's VGA cable into the VGA port from your GPU. Find out where it is when you open your chassis.

You are done fixing it.

Have a good day.

Again it's me Santhosh kumar aka fojoheartthrobe guys. Wazzup? Lets get to the article right away.

I always wanted to design a responsive theme for the blog, so that without the need of an application the blog would look like an app within your browser. Because when viewed via the app the views don't get hit. But still some of the audiences asked me because they wanted to read articles offline when they are away from their wifi. So here it goes the updated version. Wait.. what? updated?. 

Yes guys, the app I made is not new. I have already done it a year ago or so. But as I said since i don't get the traffic while using the blog's post as a rss feed reader, I totally removed the posts and all other things related to the PazSan android app that I made earlier,

Here are some screen shots of the app.

The PazSan logo

The app provides a wide range of language support

Settings to play around with sync, notifications, spaces and else

Notifications in the status bar for every single post

Dedicated notification settings

The all time favorite offset swipe layout

Star your favorite articles

A neat grid view of the posts

Beautifully crafted widget for a selected category

I think all the above screen shots are self explanatory. Sure give it a try for the work put into it. There are two themes built in. Not more than two because the idea was White theme to use at day time and a Black theme to use at night times so that the display won't burn your eyes.

Hey guys Whats up? It's Santhosh kumar again. Good to see you guys supporting my blog. Since a full time blogger I had to design some themes for the blog to improve the looks and the performance and i'm trying to keep the responsive blog templates. I have already made an android app which if you might have missed, let me know in the comments below and I'll share the link. I'ts available in the blog itself. Just search PazSan app.

Now coming ot the point. A lot of times I've had troubles connecting to google Play Store saying that "No connection" or "Server timed out". This is because of the Host file in the system directory of your ROM. So by now you must have known this article is only for the root users. My previous article also for the root users. Don't worry  I'll get my camera in a couple of weeks. And from then on I will make a lot of vids  for YT. Meanwhile some of my friends will be writing stuff here.

However my previous article was also with a similar issue. I was asked to rewrite the article so that people could find it easily with the tags. So here it goes.

The app might open and keep loading for ever. For example you can't sign into google, you can't use gmail app, you can't use the calendar, and so and so. And my nightmare being the youtube app which won't load. Some might find alternative apps for the above said apps like I did when I din't know the solution. The most important thing is that Google Play Store will not load at all. You will get server timed out error. So here's the fix.

Fix:

All you need to do is to add a character in the second line of the hist file which exists in the system\etc in the root directory. I'll put on a step by step procedure on how to do so.

STEP 1:

Get any root file explorer for you device from playstore. If the playstore doesn't work find the apk online and install it.

I personally use MiXplorer which I got from XDA forums. Most of you might use the Root explorer app. Both will work fine.

Just in case you don't know about MiXplorer click here to learn more about the features and why I use it.

STEP 2:

If you are using MiXplorer, swipe from the left to right of the screen and find the label ROOT in the list. When you touch it you will be prompted for the root access. Just provide like you do for other apps. How you navigate to the root folder depends on the file explore you are using. In Root explorer this could be a bit cumbersome for the new users.

STEP 3:

Navigate to " system->etc " and find the file named hosts and open it as a text file.

STEP 4:

You will find some lines of ip address in them.

On the second line, add "#" without quotes.

before edit:

127.0.0.1      localhost

127.81.104.152 android.clients.google.com

after edit:

127.0.0.1      localhost

#127.81.104.152 android.clients.google.com.

Save it and reboot the phone. Now you will have every google apps working and you need not find any alternative apps for the ones offered by google.

Hi guys this is my third article on a single day feeling happy to do so since I turned a full time blogger.

You might end up here with this article only if you know about OnePlus One I think. We all know how great was and is the Chinese manufacturer's OnePlus One, still being a year old. That was why the phone got the popularity, providing the best price to performance ratio. I don't know about the mentality of the people in other countries, but in India, price is a very sensitive matter. Putting into simple words, India is the most highly price sensitive market. And at the same time there are a lot of people who are brand loyal and only go for highly famous and branded phones. Still OnePlus managed to surprise the consumers in India with a considerable price for a single SIM device and steal the hearts of the brand loyals. While I was worrying about the invite system that OenPlus used to sell their product, they surprisingly removed the invite system for the OnePlus One.

The specs:

The specs of the OnePlus device was leaked the last Thursday which were beastly. The model number of the phone was found to be "A2003". The name of the devicce has not been confirmed that it's a OnePlus Device. But relating the specs to what CEO of OnePlus said in an interview, they come close. 

The phone has 3GB of RAM with a 64Bit Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 GPU. The scree size and the resolution remaining the same the internals are getting stronger. The camera is expected to be Sony's 20MP sensor with OIS.

The price of this phone will be around $400.

Will I go for this?

Sure i would love to give phone a try. But this could never be my daily driver unless it has a dual sim setup and expansion memory. Life for me without two sim cards is almost impossible. And therefore I will be using the Zenfone 2 offering from Asus. The only reason I don't use OnePlus One is the lack of dual sim and memory expansion. Also in terms of performance the zenfone 2 is + or - 0.5 than the OnePlus One. So the choice of selecting is totally dependent on your life style. Let's wait for the confirmed specs.

Hi guys wazup. This is Santhosh kumar back again with an android article. In the previous article I wrote about fixing the grey wifi bars in android. Fixing that requires rooting your device. So for people who do not know what rooting means, this article will help.

In simple words:

Without being technical if I should put in simple words, "You just have the phone and you don't own the phone until you root it". In other words, android device comes with tons of features which are hidden from the normal users (unrooted users). If you root the phone you now own the phone and also authenticated to access all the features that android serves it's users.

Technical:

Rooting is required for more advanced and potentially dangerous operations including modifying or deleting system files, removing carrier- or manufacturer-installed applications, and low-level access to the hardware itself (rebooting, controlling status lights, or recalibrating touch inputs.) A typical rooting installation also installs the Superuser application, which supervises applications that are granted root or superuser rights by requesting approval from the user before granting said permissions. A secondary operation, unlocking the device's bootloader verification, is required to remove or replace the installed operating system.

In contrast to iOS jailbreaking, rooting is not needed to run applications distributed outside of the Google Play Store, sometimes called sideloading. The Android OS supports this feature natively in two ways: through the "Unknown sources" option in the Settings menu and through the Android Debug Bridge. 

To be more technical exploiting one or more security bugs in the firmware of (i.e., in the version of the Android OS installed on) the device.

Advantages:

The advantages of rooting cannot be put into numbers, But some useful features would be like,

Expanding your RAM.

Expanding your internal memory.

Changing your operating system.

Remove bloatwares. Bloatwares are the software that come pre-installed with the device.

Move system apps to SD card.

Ability to theme your android device.

Control CPU clock speeds.

Overclock or under clock CPU.

Play around with system files which might end up in bricking your device.

Risks:

Your phone might brick at the process of rooting.

Your phone might stop working partially.

Your wifi or sim slots might stop working.

Your phone might overheat (CPU control).

Your phone might get stuck in a boot loop.

And much more.

Precautions:

Look into the website of your device's manufacturer.

Some manufacturers like HTC, Sony, Google and some others provide a tutorial on unlocking the bootloader of the phone which should be done in order to root. This is not the case for all the phones.

Be careful while clearing the cache and dalvik.

Read carefully and do as said in the forums.

One rooting method will not help for all the phones.

Be specific with your device.

If you are not the first to try the mods from xda or any other forums check the comments before using it for yourself.

Have a good day.

Hi people happy to announce that I'm from today (23/04/2015) on, a full time blogger and I also have some plans to make video solutions and link them to the text in the posts i make. and video for this post will also be added soon. I'm waiting for my camera to be delivered. Alright now let's get to the point.

I have an android device for my personal use, my dad has a tablet and a phone and my mom has a tablet for their uses. We all experienced a similar problem with the wifi signal bars turning out grey and won't turn back blue. I initially had no idea of why that happens and read in some website that it has something to be tweaked in the part of tcp port numbers dealing in the wifi router and much more with almost one solution extending more than 5 pages involving codes to put in the command window. But don't scare I finally found a simple solution for the root users. Sadly this article is not for unroot users.

For android newbies who don't know what rooting is, read this article.

Why worry about grey bars:

The grey signal bars in android is an indication that google apps won't open in you device. Not literally. The app might open and keep loading for ever. For example you can't sign into google, you can't use gmail app, you can't use the calendar, and so and so. And my nightmare being the youtube app which won't load. Some might find alternative apps for the above said apps like I did when I din't know the solution. The most important thing is that Google Play Store will not load at all. You will get server timed out error. So here's the fix.

Fix:

All you need to do is to add a character in the second line of the hist file which exists in the system\etc in the root directory. I'll put on a step by step procedure on how to do so.

STEP 4:

On the second line, add "#" without quotes.

Save it and reboot the phone. Now you will have every google apps working and you need not find any alternative apps for the ones offered by google.

Hello guys this is Santhosh kumar back for a compact review of the Asus #zenfone2 pricing and the features.

I just saw the live streaming of the #Asus zenfone 2's launching ceremony online via facebook. This phone has created a very huge hype that got almost everybody's attention in the tech communities. The reason is the whooping 4GB of RAM. Yes you read it right It's a whooping 4GB of RAM which is included in the phone.

I was very eagerly waiting for the pricing of the phone because I got hyped more than Asus even. I got so excited that I sleep thinking of the releasing date in India and the pricing. That much mad is what i got into.

The phone features a massive 5.5 inch FHD (1920x1080) display which is a IPS one. So the clarity needs no words to explain the crispness of the display. The next feature is the screen to body ratio. It offers a screen to body ratio of 72% which makes the device feel like using a 5 inch device instead of making the user feel like holding a 6 inch phone in the hands.

When i wrote hands... this thing came into mind. The phone has a super curved arc back which provides a sleek design for the phone which also provides a great grip and hence the chances of slipping the phone from the hands is much lesser than any other phone out in the market. 

But don't worry about slipping the phone into your pockets. The phone fits very well into the pocket so that the phone does not feel big even though the screen size is 5.5 inch. The camera is another big feature that uses #PixelMaster technology which offers a very great low light photography shots.The PixelMaster technology provides photos that are 400 % brighter than other cameras.  Two photographers who are known for their works in the photography came to the launching ceremony of zenfone2 and they spoke about the camera features that this phone offered.

They even showed some shots took in Paris and India which came out to be very good. It's not just a mobile camera it offers the experience and control of a DSLR offerings.

The front camera is incredible too. The angle and the aperture offers  selfie panorama which will not miss out anybody in a #selfie or #groupfie. The back camera is 13 MP and front camera is 5 MP. 

Another feature I personally say is the #ZenUI. 

It offers much more optimizations for the smoothening of the phone and also enriched with customization facilities of the phone starting from theme of the launcher to font of the phone.

I found this personally very interesting because I personally neve have the stock android theme. I uses third party launchers or anything else. But Asus has helped persons like me to change everything. Or for changing some settings you might need to root your phone which will return "warranty void.". With zenfone you can natively customize the ZenUI.

The performance of the phone is not a problem indeed. 

The prime version of the phone houses an Intel 2.3 GHz quad core processor which is a 64 Bit one, PowerVR G6430 coupled with massive 4GB of RAM. With this Asus gets the name for producing the world's first 4GB RAM phone producer and Zenfone gets the name. 

The touch responsive is the fastest of all the phones out in the market : 60ms.

Finally the price point. Zeonfone 2 is being launched in India in 4 variants.

5.5" HD 2GB RAM 16GB Rs12999

5.5" FHD 2GB RAM 16GB Rs14999

5.5" FHD 4GB RAM 32GB Rs19999

5.5" FHD 4GB RAM 64GB Rs22999

These are the official rates announced by the CEO of Asus Mr.Jeff Chery if I'm not wrong.

Asus also unveiled a lot of other cool accessories for the zenfone 2 like zenflash, lolliflash, smart protection cover and much more. Soon I'll be writing posts about them. So stay tuned.

Will I go for it?

Yes defenitely I will go for this phone. For the specifications this phone offers the price is great and it is completely wort the money. The camera is however a let down. Still as days passed Asus pushed an OTA update which improved the camera performance a lot. Still not up to the mark like the OnePlus One. The camera also offers the digital stabilization which will only suppport 720p. For me these problems just didn't bother much because I hardly can pass one day without my two sim cards and the memory of OnePlus One is not at all enough for me. Still, there are some rumors about the next iteration of the OnePlus's device which will be relesed by Q4 of 2015. I can't wait till then. So I placed an order on Flipkart for the Zenfone 2.
