Cloud backup for mobile devices is getting to be a more attractive option for many users.  Mobile devices are very convenient and portable because of their size but these same features can also make them more prone to loss, theft, and misplacement.  That is why it makes good sense to backup contents of mobile devices.

Reasons to Backup Mobile Devices

Mobile devices have become the new lifeline of the human society in terms of staying in contact and doing business. Losing its contents permanently is more distressing than losing the device itself.  One can always buy a new phone but not every lost information can be recovered.

The loss of list of contacts and other important information stored in mobile devices can be very disruptive to personal lives and business transactions. Many describe the feeling of being isolated, stressed, and virtually lost because of their dependence on these devices.

Having to go through the inconvenience of losing important data is not necessary, especially if it can be avoided. Different backup products and services are being offered in the market. Users just need to consider the best option for them.

Why Cloud Backup for Mobile Devices

Backing-up files contained in any mobile device should be done and there is no question about that.  The only question that remains is how it is to be done. The traditional way is store data in USB drives which is not always reliable.  Another way is to download software from mobile device makers to allow the backup.  It is highly advised that downloading ,whether for free or for a fee, should be done from the manufacturer’s site.  A third party developer is another option.

Cloud backup for mobile devices comes highly recommended.  These mobile devices are literally extensions of people’s computers.  It is therefore in the best interest of users to backup their contents with the best possible option.

With Cloud Backup, users can access their required data at any time and any device connected to the Internet.  The data are all protected from unauthorized access through encryption. All data that has been transferred from a mobile device to a backup server are guarded for privacy.

Online cloud backup offers data storage that is safe and easily updated. It is however necessary to find a Cloud backup provider that is competent and able to provide expert services. Competitive pricing is also a major consideration. To know more about online backup providers, look into www.bestbackups.com.

Is Modding Your Android ROM A Good Idea? It Can Be With The Right Precautions

April 8, 2013 by DailyBits

Google Android

One of the biggest frustrations among Google Android users is the inability to immediately upgrade their Android OS when a new version becomes available. Because the OS is fragmented among smartphone manufacturers an upgrade for one device does not necessarily guarantee an upgrade for another device.

In many cases a powerful smartphone  could be looked over as its manufacturer moves onto new devices. In those cases it could be worth voiding your warranty to mod your smartphone.

Considerations For Modding A Smartphone

First, is your phone out of warranty? Most devices have a one year manufactures warranty, after that point it typically won’t matter what happens to your smartphone since repairs are not supported without costs associated.

It is also important to consider the devices specifications. As Google continues to build out a more powerful OS the power requirements to keep the system running increase. If you’re running a dual-core processor with an OS built for a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 4-cores you might experience system lag.

Finally, make sure you choose a reputable developer for your system mod. I personally use XDA-Developers forums to find widely accepted Google Android mods.

PREPARING YOUR SMARTPHONE FOR A GOOGLE ANDROID OS UPGRADE

There are a few things you need to do in order to prepare your smartphone for an unauthorized Google Android OS update.

First, you need to make sure your device is fully charged and plugged into a power outlet. You want to make sure the devices full upgrade occurs before power runs out.

Next, download Android USB drivers so you can connect your device to your computer. You will need to install the ROM upgrade directly from your computer.

Backup your device. Download files, contacts and other allowed information to your PC or MAC. In case of a system failure this will help ensure that you don’t lose your favorite photos and other important data. Typically your smartphone manufacturer will sell your smartphone device alongside an Android backup application.
