Free Wifi Apps for Android

July 18, 2019 By Aurelio

6 Free Wifi Apps that Will Tame Your Android’s Connections

We look at six Wi-Fi related applications for the mobile Android platform – and all of them are free. These Android apps can help you discover and analyze nearby networks, create your own Wi-Fi hotspot and manage your Wi-Fi connections.

Wifi Analyzer

wifi analyzer appUse this Wi-Fi stumbler and analyzer when setting up APs, checking channel usage of neighboring APs, troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues and Wi-Fi security auditing.

Viewing the AP list gives you details on each nearby AP: SSID, MAC address, encryption, channel, and signal in negative dBm levels via a graphical bar and text readout. APs with the same identifiers will be automatically grouped. If you’re connected to an AP, you can also see the details of the connection (SSID, MAC, and IP). You can export the AP list and/or take a snapshot of the screens.

There are several more views/tools as well, you can see a list at Routers200. The channel graph shows each AP’s channel and signal. The time graph then shows the history of channel and signal info. The channel rating page gives you recommendations on channel usage. Last but not least, the signal meter view can help you find the APs with a visual signal meter and sound effects.

 

WiFi Manager

Wifi Manager appWiFi Manager helps you find, connect and manage Wi-Fi networks quicker and easier than using the Android settings. Open the app, and you’ll see a list of nearby APs with their details: SSID, encryption, channel and signal level (via bars, dBm or percentage). You can sort by signal, SSID, or list open APs first. You can also select to see all known APs — to which you’ve previously connected. It also features a Wi-Fi radar view with graphics to help you visualize the channel and signal status of nearby networks.

  • It includes a widget you can add to your home screen that displays connection info for the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to
  • It supports all the 2.4 GHz channels 1 – 11 for the U.S. and up to 14 for other countries. It also supports the 5 GHz band for those devices with a dual-band Wi-Fi radio
  • If you purchase the $1.75 premium package you get a few more features: another widget that lets you switch between networks with a single tap and the capability to set advanced per-network options (description, icon, auto static or dynamic IP address)

There’s only one notable limitation of WiFi Manager. It doesn’t support enterprise Wi-Fi security (EAP/802.1X). However, unless you’re connecting to a corporate network, this shouldn’t be a problem. There is a free option for this app.

Wireless Tether for Root Users

Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering functionality is now included in Android. It can generate a Wi-Fi signal for you to share the cellular Internet connection with a laptop or other Wi-Fi devices. But you might not find this feature if you’re using an older Android OS version or your wireless carrier disables it. However, if you Root your phone you can use an app like this one to get similar Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering functionality. Plus this app also enables Bluetooth-tethering.

In addition to Rooting, this app also requires you to use a kernel that supports netfilter (iptables). So it won’t work on all Android devices.

For most devices, this app will create an ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) wireless network with support of 128-bit WEP encryption. Some devices support creating an Infrastructure wireless network (which is more like a true AP) with support of WPA/WPA2 encryption and lets you control the Wi-Fi transmit power from wherever your devices are.

All devices allow you to set the SSID (network name), channel and more. It supports access-control to allow/deny specific wireless clients similar to the Avast wifi finder app.

WiFi OnOff

This installs a widget that you can add to your home screen. It lets you toggle the Wi-Fi interface of Android on and off with one single click. Thus, you don’t have to navigate to the wireless settings each time. This is great if you regularly turn it on and off, such as to save battery power.

SharesFinder

SharesFinder appThis scans the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to and lists the shares on the network: Windows (SMB) computers and shares, FTP servers, and HTTP servers. For each it lists the IP address, MAC address, SMB name, and vendor name. There is an easy setup guide so you can get running quickly.

In addition to listing the shares, it supports basic connection and file transferring between them and your phone. You can connect to SMB shares as a guest or input a username and password. Then you can then browse, download, upload, create and delete files and folders. For HTTP resources it launches the web browser. For FTP resources it can open a third-party FTP client, like AndFTP.

RouterPasswords

This app doesn’t use Wi-Fi, but is a database of default login info and credentials for more than a thousand routers, gateways, modems and other network devices. Enter the model number or brand, and it will list the login username, password, and protocol.

How to Compress Videos for Mobile Devices

May 20, 2019 By Aurelio

Compressing Videos for Mobile Devices for More Room

As you’re undoubtedly aware, the storage space on mobile devices can be very limited, and in most cases is anything between 16GB to 64GB.

That doesn’t leave you much room to maneuver, especially if you want to store GIFs or video files can often consume several gigabytes as well.

Seeing as storing large video files on mobile devices isn’t feasible, your best option is to compress them.

That can be done in two separate ways, each of which is unique.

Convert the Video to a Codec with Superior Compression

The compression of video files is determined by the video codec that they use.

Some video codecs (especially newer ones) have superior compression, and as such can compress the video file more efficiently to a smaller size while maintaining the same quality.

If you want to use this option there are a few steps that you will need to take:

1. Check the current codec that the video file encoded in with the help of one of the many free tools that are available.
2. Identify a new codec with superior compression that is compatible with your mobile device and has hardware acceleration.
3. Transcode the video to the new codec using a video converter.

Keep in mind that hardware acceleration is crucial, as software decoding on its own is processor-intensive and will require a lot of power. That in turn will consume the battery life of your mobile device quickly if you aren’t careful.

Adjust the Video Bitrate

The other option to compress your video files is to adjust the video bitrate. By lowering it, you will reduce the amount of data the video uses each second, and that will significantly reduce the file size.

Unfortunately while compatibility isn’t an issue with this option – quality is. The more you reduce the bitrate, the more the quality of your video will deteriorate and compression artifacts start to surface.

That is why although technically you could reduce the video file size to any value that you need by reducing the bitrate, in practice it isn’t realistic. After a certain point your video will become unwatchable, which is definitely not what you want.

Because of the risk involved, you should adjust the bitrate gradually and test how it affects the video quality. Ultimately your goal should be to find an acceptable compromise between the video quality and file size.

Conclusion

If you’re ready to compress your video using either method described above, you should first get a video converter. For example you could try Movavi Video Converter, as learning how to convert MP4 to WMV or any other formats is easy – and it will let you adjust the bitrate too.

All said and done between both these methods you should be able to compress your videos so that their file size is more feasible when storing them on mobile devices. Make no mistake you can significantly reduce the file size – so the real question is: How small do you need it to be?

How Do I Repair a Noisy Computer Fan?

Repairing a Noisy Computer Fan

Skill Level: Intermediate

You’re sitting at your computer one day and all of a sudden you hear a loud groaning sound coming from your computer.

What’s causing it?

There’s a good chance that one of your fans needs some attention. You don’t want to put it off either.

Fans are necessary to keep your computer running cool and efficiently. If a fan goes, you’re going to have problems.

Fortunately, a noisy fan can usually be repaired quite easily. In fact, many times the answer is just that a simple cleaning is needed.

If that doesn’t do the trick, your next option is to oil the fan.

Replacing the fan is the last resort.

STEP ONE: Locate the Noisy Fan

Open up your computer’s case. You may need to refer to your computer’s manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions.

With the computer powered on, locate the fan that’s making noise. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out which fan is the offender.

Once you’ve identified the noisy fan, go ahead and shut down your computer. It’s probably best to unplug your computer as well.

Unplug & Remove the fan. (Instructions for this part vary greatly from computer to computer. So, if you can’t figure out how to remove the fan, then you probably shouldn’t proceed.)

STEP TWO: Clean the Fan

Now that you’ve removed the fan, it’s time to clean it.

Blow out all the loose dust with some canned air. *When blowing out dust from your computer’s fans, be sure to gently hold your fan’s blades still while cleaning them.

(Compressed air can spin the blades faster than they were intended to go and damage the fan.)

Use an old toothbrush and remove any material left behind on the fan’s blades. The blades should be perfectly clean in order to maintain proper fan balance.

I like to dip the toothbrush in rubbing alcohol to remove material from the fan blades.

Afterwards, you can swab it dry with some Q-tips.

Attach the fan back inside the computer and plug the fan back in. Turn the computer on and see if the sound is gone.

If not, proceed to the next step…

STEP THREE: Oil the Fan

If cleaning the fan didn’t do the trick, then it’s time to lubricate it. Most of the time this will solve the problem.

Turn the fan upside down and locate the protective sticker on the back. Peel the sticker off and discard it.

Some people will reuse the sticker, but I feel that, once it’s been removed, you won’t get a good seal again.

Depending on the fan, you should now see the fan’s bearing. Some fans have a protective plug that can easily be popped out.

Now it’s time to oil the bearing. You aren’t going to need much oil. Usually a drop or two will suffice. If you use too much oil, you’ll just make a mess.

What type of oil should you use? I’d recommend either a sewing machine oil or non-detergent 3-IN-ONE oil (blue and red package that’s for electric motors).

Do not use WD-40!

One problem with oiling a fan is that eventually the oil will evaporate, leaving you with the same problem again in a month or two.

Adding a little dry graphite lubricant powder with the oil in the bearing will make the repair last a lot longer.

You can get both products at any hardware store.

Once the fan bearing is well lubricated, clean off any excess oil with a little rubbing alcohol. Cover the hole with some electrical tape for a firm seal.

Attach the fan back in the computer and plug it back in.

Turn the computer on and see if the sound is gone.

STEP FOUR: Replace the Fan

If cleaning and oiling your fan hasn’t helped, then your only other option is to replace the fan. Often, it’s just a matter of getting the fan’s measurements and locating a replacement online.

However, some specialty fans will be a lot harder to find.

Some fans aren’t worth repairing. Especially a small noisy laptop fan. If a fan goes bad inside the main power supply, you may not want to mess with it.

Some power supplies are very difficult to open up, let alone getting to the fan.

Also, unless you like risking electrocution, is it worth the risk opening up the power supply? It may just be a good opportunity to replace and upgrade your power supply instead.

In Conclusion

Remember to have fun! (if and when possible)

There’s no greater thrill than being able to fix something on your own! When you hear your previously noisy fan, now running silently, you can congratulate yourself on a job well done!

The BEST Graphics Tablets Reviewed for 2019

March 4, 2019 By Aurelio

Which graphic tablet should I buy?

If you are looking for a graphics tablet, you will want to know which ones are the best drawing tablets available out there. You want to be able to get the best tab to improve the quality of your work, and you want it as cheap as you can get it? You’re on the right address to find out which is a good tablet for your personal needs, regardless if you are a professional designer or you enjoy drawing as a hobby.

I personally know it isn’t easy to find a suitable drawing pad as easily as it seems. There are dozens and dozens of inexpensive graphic tablets that will work for you if your needs are not too great, but people often jump to conclusions when they think that drawing pads are very expensive.

This article will give you a wide price range where you will see some very cheap pen tabs, some professional ones that may be a bit pricey, but most of them are plainly just affordable and suit the needs of most.

If you are looking to develop your artistic skills or you need one of these for other reasons, it is important to know which pen tablet can benefit you the most. This page will consider the different features of graphic tabs to help you choose which one is right for your needs and best fits your budget.

The top 10 graphic tablets ranking will give you an even better idea of what you are looking for.

What is a graphics tablet?

Graphic tablet can also be referred to as a graphics pad, a drawing tablet, a digitizing tablet, so don’t be confused. The principle is the same.

So, this little handy device is a type of input device that can be used instead of, or in conjunction with a mouse or any other pointing devices.

Your typical tablet consists of a flat surface for drawing and a pen, stylus or puck that works with the tablet.

Some tablets come with a handy wireless mouse you can use on its surface or a pen holder, but in reality all you need is a pen and the tablet itself. Sometimes, even people who are not artists choose to use a tablet because of its practicality!

And now, we move on to explain some of the common features of graphic tablets.

Pen-specific technobabble:

The language that is used by graphics tablets sellers is very confusing.

Here is a list of the most popular phrases used in relation to the graphics tablet pens and what they actually mean!

“stylus”

The term specific for digital input pens used with graphics-tablets and other hardware. It’s not always used, but is the actual term. (imagine if you were told your new ipad came with a free ‘pen’? Why would you want a pen? Now imagine you were told it came with a free ‘stylus’? Awesome!)

“ergonomic pen” “grip pen” “easy to hold pen”

Almost all graphic tablets today come with a comfortable, easy to use variety of stylus (the exact shape and features vary). These don’t affect the quality of your digital artwork, but they do affect how comfortable you are while using them, and there’s no ‘right’ choice.

“cord/cable/wired stylus”

Refers to a stylus that is attached to its tablet by a cable. The stylus is therefore slim and light. It’s pretty rare today, as wireless is the standard for most models.

“battery operated stylus”

Sends a signal from the pen to your tablet. The stylus needs to be large enough to contain a AAA battery, but is shaped in a way so that it’s narrower at the point at which you hold it.

“battery-less stylus”

The tablet powers the stylus via electro-magnetic resonation, which means these styluses are slimmer and lighter than the battery powered alternatives.

“tilt sensitivity”, “tiltability” “rotation””tilt recognition”

What most artists are looking for when they chose a stylus with one of these descriptions is a stylus which has a sense of ‘right way up’ and ‘upside-down’ so that it can make more complex digital brush strokes (this is a great feature, especially for painters!).

But these terms also may simply mean that the stylus still works when you’re holding it at an angle, (and I’ve never found a stylus that doesn’t). For this stylus it’s best to rely on reviews, as less scrupulous retailers and second-hand sellers who don’t understand the terms can easily use the wrong term, and lead you to disappointment if you don’t know what you’re buying.

“levels of pressure sensitivity”

The range of pressure sensitivity starts at 256 levels of pressure, and reaches 3000. 1024 levels of pressure can be registered by most graphics programs, and only the newest and more advanced programs can register anything higher.

Levels of pressure sensitivity literally explains how sensitive your pen is, the more sensitive pens will be able to tell the difference between different pressures, but this will only be shown to have an effect if you’re using extremely large brush sizes (upwards of 1000 pixels, in the latest software), or, in some cases, very light pressure (the quality of the pen’s nib and the drawing surface can effect the pressure you need to apply just as much).

I suggest 256 and 512 for the beginner or sketcher, 1024 for the student or professional artist, and 2048 or above for the super-professional or any artist who uses a tablet for poster-sized art-work.

“Interchangeable right and left-handed pen”

This is one of those marketing oddities, I assume the companies must say this in order to assure left-handed individuals that they too can use graphics tablets… though I’ve yet to find any evidence of a left-handed pen having ever existed.

Tablet-specific technobabble:

So now you know what they’re saying about the pens… how about the tablet themselves.

The tablets are all important and have their own range of specialist phrases.

Here’s a list of the phrases and their meanings for tablets:

“programmable hotlinks/ buttons/ scrollers / wheels?”

Most artists find the wheels/scrollers to be useful for controlling the zoom in graphics programs, and for rotating canvas in those that allow it. But neither they nor programmable hotlinks are a actually a required function on any tablet, they’re more of an extra feature that you can use, if you like, to save time.

“lines per inch” or “accuracy”

Much like dpi or dots per inch, this is the sensitivity of your graphics tablet and how accurately it recognizes the location of your pen. Unfortunately, not only is this rarely mentioned, but the effect this number has also changes depending on your computer’s settings, and the size of the tablet itself. The end result is that the pen does not follow the path you draw exactly, or makes your lines jagged. This is really useful when you’re designing for a vinyl cutting machine for small business.

The way to avoid this is to read customer reviews, even if a number is given, and bear in mind that the cheapest of these tablets usually come with this disadvantage.

For the beginner, or casual artist, or someone who does not intend to use their tablet for fine art, this isn’t much of a problem. It can usually be compensated by working zoomed in, but that has the disadvantage of letting you see less of your artwork at once, and takes longer to draw the same lines.

“work area/ live area”

Pay attention to this, a graphics tablet will be described as 10 by 15 inches, but the actual numbers you need to actually pay attention to those of the ‘work’ or ‘live’ areas, the space on which you can draw, which measure much less- say 5 by 8 inches. These numbers are possibly the most important thing when it comes to buying a tablet! What you need to look for is a graphics tablet that matches the size and ratio of your screen as much as possible.

Graphics tablet size

One of the most important factors you will need to consider when choosing the right tablet for yourself is its size. For hobby users and your average artist some common sizes are 6 by 8 inches or 4 by 5 inches, but more developed artists and illustrators may require or desire a larger work surface. But be careful, the price rises with the size of the tablet.

The reasons why someone would choose a bigger tablet should be practical and nothing but practical. One should consider to buy a tablet with an appropriate work surface size to match their hand motion. This is a crucial element that needs to be considered when buying a tablet.

If you want to minimize your hand motion, a smaller tablet will work better for you. If you are used to drawing or painting in bigger, sweeping motions, then you need a larger work surface. It is as simple as that.

Up until recently, the dimensions of graphics tablets have corresponded with the 4:3 aspect ratio of traditional computer monitors. But as of lately, some companies (e.g. Wacom and Aiptek) began producing tablets that correspond better with widescreen monitors or even for working on multiple monitors at the same time. Although it is neat to have your tablet dimensions correspond with the aspect ratio, it is not necessary because the tablet software resolves this issue so that it does not interfere with your experience.

Graphics tablet interface

The interface is how your tablet connects to the computer. Most tablets have an USB interface which is excellent because virtually all computers today support USB. In case you own a computer that does not support USB, you will need to choose a tablet with a serial interface.

Another option for connecting a tablet to a computer is Bluetooth. Currently the only manufacturer that produces Bluetooth tablets is Wacom, with its Graphire Bluetooth that connects to your computer without wires.

Pen/Stylus and Accessories

When you choose a tablet, consider the dimensions and the weight to the pen because you need it to feel comfortable in your hand. Check if the stylus needs a battery because that will make it heavier. Some pens are not tethered, and in that case you will need to be extra careful not to misplace or lose them.

Some pens have an erasing end, which is a pretty cool feature too. Some tablet manufacturers offer several pens you can program each the way you wish and work with them independently. All in all, there are plenty of additional optional accessories, but the most important thing is that the pen and the work surface suit your needs.

Graphics tablet pressure sensitivity

Pressure sensitivity is a very important feature when choosing a suitable tablet for your needs. It refers to the sensitivity to pressure on the surface of the tablet. Currently, tablets mostly have 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 pressure levels. Pressure sensitivity can control several aspects that you choose, among which are the line thickness, transparency, color, and so on.

The more sensitive your tablet is, the better your experience will be, because it will feel more natural and authentic, and you will have more control over your strokes.

REVIEWS

1. Wacom Bamboo Create Pen and Touch Tablet

As a proud owner of one of these I have nothing bad to say about it. It is affordable, reliable and offers you anything you think you may need.

Since the relaunching of Bamboo tablets, we have not only gotten our hands on much sleeker looking re-vamped devices, they are now much more impressive than their predecessors and overall much more responsive.

These tablets also come with a very impressive software pack (that includes Photoshop and Artrage) and they don a very MacBook-esque silver finish.

Main specifications: 1024 pressure sensitivity levels, 13.8 x 8.2 x 0.4 inches in size, 4 Express Keys, compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP, Mac OSX 10.5 and above.

2. Wacom Bamboo Connect

Bamboo Connect allows you to quickly sketch us your ideas, add your personal flare to documents, edit them, and write notes. The package contains dozens of software applications that will enable you to do just that – and just that makes this tablet worth every penny.

This graphics tablet dons an easy and ergonomic design, and a battery free pen stylus that is light and easy to use. Recommended for those who enjoy giving a personal touch to everything.

3. 8″ x 6″ DigiPro WP8060 USB Graphics Tablet

This tablet comes with a pressure sensitive stylus pen with 512 levels of pressure sensitivity, and an 8 by 6 inch working area, which makes it a perfect take for a beginner artist.

It s compatible with most software, so you won’t have to worry about that.

In fact, this pen tablet offers a lot more than one would expect from a tablet that costs this much, and it’s a warm recommendation for learning artists.

4. VT PenPad 7.7-Inch Graphic Pen Tablet

The VT PenPad is a perfect tablet if you are just a beginner and you want to practice. It is not a big investment, and is in fact very affordable for the features it offers.

It can be used as a great learning tool for children, students, artists, or anyone who uses a computer.

With overall dimensions of 7.5-inch x 7.5-inch and an active area of 6-inch x 4.5-inch the VT PenPad is an ideal learning, drawing, and writing tool, that is great for everyday use. I would definitely recommend it as a starter tablet.

5. Intuos5

Key Features:

  • Size: Small (3.9″ x 6.2″ active area)
  • Pen Eraser: Yes
  • Multi-Touch: Yes
  • Wireless Option: Yes, with the purchase of Wacom’s optional wireless accessory kit

Free Bundled Software

The bundle includes Adobe Photoshop Elements, Autodesk Sketchbook Express, Anime Studio Debut, and Nik Color Effects Pro 4 Select Edition. You can also make use of a free 90-day trial of Corel Painter software, with a special offer on purchase.

Review of the Intuos 5 Tablet

The Intuos5 has excellent configuration possibilities. It comes with global settings, but you can set up menus and sub-menus for all the functions you want to have literally at your fingertips.

The sophisticated touch screen recognizes different touches. For example, touching the screen with 3 fingers instructs the tablet to do one thing, while touching with 4 fingers communicates something else and so on. You can also use this model much like the normal touch mouse on a laptop. In addition, the easy-to-reach side buttons can also be configured to your own specific requirements. Watch the excellent video below for a full explanation and demonstration.

Another cool feature with the Intuos5 is just how pressure-sensitive the pen is. There are over 2000 pressure levels, from a light and narrow brush stroke up to as broad and thick as you want. This is really helpful for details like when I’m working on my weed icons, they’re small, so this is really a great addition.

It is a bit challenging to at first to find just the right finger or pen pressure you need to create exactly the effect you want, but that just takes time and purpose. Professional graphic artists and photographers who use this tablet every day all appear to think it is well worth the money.

In general, this pen tablet has received very good reviews overall. More than half gave it a 4- or 5-star rating. Issues seem to revolve around screen-to-monitor ratios and some configuration problems that may be teething problems, and I was impressed to find a Wacom representative contacted the person who gave it a bad review to work through the issues with him to find solutions. I don’t know of many companies that would go to such effort

6. Wacom Intuos4 Large Pen Tablet

Key Features:

– Size: Small (6″ x 4″)
– Pen Eraser: Yes
– Multi-Touch: No
– Wireless Option: Not as an adapter; only as a separate tablet that’s hard to find (See: Intuos4 Medium Wireless Tablet)

Free Bundled Software

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, Corel Painter Sketchpad, Autodeck Sketchbook Express, Nik Color Efex 3.0 Sample Filters, Wacom Brushes

Review

Unlike the new Intuos5, the Intuos4 does not have a finger-touch screen; you have to use the Intuos4 pen, which is pressure sensitive.

One cool feature with this tablet is that you can configure it for right- or left-handed users. Just flip it over so the buttons are on the side you prefer and, when you come to configure it, it will ask you if you are right- or left-handed, so you can program your settings appropriately. They show up in the LCD screen beside each button. Unfortunately, the small size version of the Intuos4 doesn’t actually have the LCD display.

As an improvement on the Intous3, there is a touch dial rather than a touch slider, which makes it easier to manipulate and navigate through four modes.

Also as an improvement, the USB cable is now detachable.

The Intuos4 pen has a huge number of pressure sensitive levels–something like 2500 different levels, more than you will probably ever use. It comes with different nibs for different effects and purposes. The pen is now wireless, so it’s not compatible with the older versions of this series.

Even the pen holder has been improved, so it holds spare nibs and a handy nib extractor in the center. There are buttons on the pen itself that you can configure for handy functions you use frequently.

Of course, there is a mouse that comes with the Intuos4, too, in case that’s your preference. Put the mouse on top of the tablet and you can use it to maneuver as much as you do with an ordinary mouse pad.

A whopping two thirds of reviewers give this pen tablet five stars, and most others give it four. I found only one bad review, which seemed to be about an issue with a slight delay between what the user was sketching and when it appeared on his computer monitor. Perhaps that’s something you’ll need to get used to.

All in all, the Intuos4 is a very functional tool that most users recommend. As with any new gadget, there’s a learning curve that can be frustrating for the more impatient among us, but once you have the hang of it, you will love it.
