Transferring everything to a new phone on Android

This other day a friend bought a second hand device. The previous owner had just bought a brand new android phone and their entire, files (contacts, SMS, pictures, music, apps, etc) were still on this old android device being sold. It can be tiring and annoying to transfer files one by one and in most cases this is how we tend to lose important files. But here is how you can avoid any data loss. There's a simpler way to transfer your data from your old android phone to a new android phone. At no cost. Its very easy too. An app called "CloneIt". This app is similar to "ShareIt" in terms of how it looks and the mechanism of connecting and transferring. If you are familiar with ShareIt and you know how to use that app, then CloneIt will be easy for you. CloneIt, copies everything in your old phone, from contacts, SMS, music, pic, I mean everything, to your new phone and the transfer is quick at a tap of a button. You can easily use CloneIt too if you are selling yo...

Getting Started with Shareit App

Good afternoon. I want to talk about using the share it application, especially getting started with the app. Shareit is used to share videos, music, and apps. Many prefer this app because its simple, clean and it can share apps which are already installed. Alright that being the case, let's say you want to share apps with a friend but they don't have the shareit app. Lucky you, this shouldn't stop you. Open the shareit app on your phone and tap " invite ". The result is a screen displaying two options. Decide if you want to use " bluetooth or hotspot ". For Bluetooth, well then your friend has to turn on their bluetooth. An APK will be sent via bluetooth to the other phone. But in case you choose hotspot, make sure your friend turns on their WIFI and run a scan for an available hotspot. Follow the onscreen instructions displayed on the phone that has shareit app.

What is an APK & What does it do?

If you have an Android device, I bet you have seen or heard of an APK file. But this time will explain more of what is or what it does. An APK is an abbreviation, Android Package Kit. It is what you would call file extensions for example on windows PC, the setup file has ".exe" and android has .apk. The Lumia phones have .xap and so on so forth. Every Android device uses an APK during application installations, for example when Whatsapp or facebook application has been created (Developed) for it to get to us, the one developing the apps will deploy the applications as APKs so that all android users can get it in the format their phone can run. To make sure there's safe passage for developed applications (APKs) to your phone (as we know viruses and malicious items roam the internet) we have an "Android Marketplace" (where you can find apps to download, for free or paid apps). This market place was implemented by Google, and it's called Google Play. But sti...

Apps of the Month - SHAREit, Xender, Zapya, Share Apps, SuperBeam

These are free applications to transfer files from a Wi-Fi compatible device to another similar one. Users can use it to transfer files including photos, videos, music, contacts, apps and any other files. Depending on a specific app, they allow Windows, Windows Phone, Android, and iOS devices to transfer files directly by ad-hoc Wi-Fi connections. In addition to transferring files, these apps services also include CONTROL and CLONEit. The apps offer faster speed than Bluetooth and even NFC, and it is totally secure, considering the type of connection it uses to transfer files. The only best method for file transfer was either through Bluetooth, or USB drives. In case of Bluetooth, the speed was adequate, while the USB drive case had a negative side. That negative side was the chances of getting malicious data or file transferred from one device to another, thus, hurting the foreign device or PC in connection. Looking at the unsafe protocol offered by USB drives, and slow speed of B...
