Windows 8 and 8.1 Missing Application Updates and Missing Applications

People with Skype (on a laptop OR computer) could be vulnerable.
So you should check if theirs an update if your on windows 8 or 8.1!!!

I know a lot of windows 8 users hate it, many don't even explore it, in fact most are fed up looking in "Control Panel" and "Settings" just to find stuff previous windows held in the same location for ease of use...

SO.. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that they also split updates and moved them to "Store"

I have barely messed with windows 8 or 8.1, however today i got a strange file type i didn't know, normally id google that like *.extension, only windows 8.1 asked if ide like to look in the store (xbox users will be used to this interface)  anyways while looking in the store i noticed it said Updates!!
Im thinking wtf is this, so i clicks it and hits update and down come some updates that windows update is NOT showing me... to get to this screen click start, or press your windows key (then top right corner search for the word store)  But keep reading my post.. it gets even more bizarre.
Note their was around 19 updates their before i hit the screen shot...

So while these updates are coming down (and im still shocked Skype is their rather than in windows update)   I decided to hit Account and then go into My Apps.. their i find what came with my OEM version of windows 8.1, to my shock i see games that where essentially awarded to my account simply due to my windows serial number (but remember what you see in the screen shot below is linked to my Hotmail)  suddenly i feel like i have an apple id for windows...
NOTE i never Purchased any of these, they must be OEM gifted..

But frankly i am disgusted that my operating system came pre-instaled with Skype which has sat needing updates for god knows how long while as a messenger application has put my system at risk..

Free APPS FOR iPad iPod and iPhone Apps and Games and NO Jailbreak Required


I am going to let you into one of the best secrets to the iPhone, iPad and iPod...
that some of you may know and some of you may not...

How to get REAL FREE Apps and Games..
Apps and Games that you would normally have to buy..
With NO Jail Break or Hacking Needed, And It Is 100% Legal...
   and ALL Available from the Official iTunes App Store. FREE

There are a few apps out their that are run by people who convince companies on the app store to give away one of their retail apps for free (for 24 hours)  BUT once you click Install on one of these apps you have then added it to your iTunes account   "that means its Yours Forever" even if you delete it off your device...

Some apps offer a discount on the purchase, again once bought like that you can later use the Restore Purchase to get the app back.  Other considerations are if you DON'T have an iPad but you DO plan to get one.. nothing stops you using these apps on your iPhone to see what is avalible for free today.. and then using iTunes on your PC or MAC to manually search the store for the iPad app and downloading it that way.
(so when you get an iPad in the future, you have apps to go on it)

I have saved well over £140 so far using these apps to download software from the iTunes store on my iPhone 3GS and i have amassed a fair bit of ipad software to, so my iTunes account is probably worth around £140 so far (and remember you can have your purchases installed on up to 3 devices at a time)
All of the apps offered (when you click on them) all take you to their official iTunes store page, so the apps you are downloading are coming right from the manufacture. YES "some" of these apps are also available on the Android Market and Google Play as well so you can also get free apps and games on your android phone or tablet, and wireless book  ;)

Why would they do this.. What's the catch?
giving an app away for 24 hours not only gets you some promotion, maybe more sales of other apps, but also builds the "downloads count" and brings in much more user feedback & reviews, helping to improve further updates.. so whats the catch?  their oddly isn't one.. wey hey  :D

The first App I recommend you download onto your iDevice is Apps Gone Free
this app shows anywhere from 5 to 9 free apps every 24 hours and remember once you download one, its attached to your iTunes account forever.. and remember you can always use iTunes its self to download iPad apps, or iPhone apps if your using an iPad already but are looking to get an iPhone at a later date, because ber in mind "not all" apps work on both iPad and iPhone, so for some you need both.

Apps Gone Free

The Next App I Recommend Is FreeAppMagic
this app offers 3 free apps every 24 hours and again once you have an app its yours forever.
The 3rd rocket you select asks you to log in with facebook, you can say "no thanks" and then select the rocket again to view the app..

Free App Magic

The other cool thing is this one also keeps track of how much you have saved since you started.



Next up is such a kick ass app its just unreal FreeAppList - Save Your Money
this things massive, note if an app has a price then its a Paid App (that "maybe" free)
if its NOT got a Price, then its just a Free app (ber in mind a paid app for free is a FULL Paid App)
IE paid apps have no adverts or limitations
So try to get the apps that usually cost (them that show a price in green but crossed out)
MAKE SURE THEIR STORE BUTTON SAYS FREE on the iTunes store page before clicking   ;)
It has about 22 category's separating the apps and it lists up to 10000 apps/games

Free App List



Next up is FGOTD aka Free Game Of the Day
its all in the name and you get to download top games for free
(sadly this wont work on the iPhone 3GS) but it works on other devices.

Also check out AppOfTheDay
they give away apps to

AppOfTheDay


And also look at Appoday
they give away either an App or a Discount, or they arrange for a special bonus if you download a free game today,  IE the games already free, but downloading it today may get you gold, or a character or a level unlock or something (that would of normally been an in app purchase)

AppoDay


Another one is called  AppGratis
sadly this was banned from the iStore because the iTunes terms of service states a developer can only promote their own apps, which makes one wonder how all the other apps have not been banned.
NOTE that AppGrattis still works if you have it, you just can't download it from the app store anymore.
so if its on your phone.. back it up to your pc or mac. you CAN also just visit the AppGratis website Here and see what's free (then search the iTunes Store for the download manually ;)
App Gratis is still available on Google Play for use on Android phones..

AppGratis

Another website listing freeApps http://freeappalert.com

 

NOTE:

If you don't have an iPad or an iPhone but you do have plans to get one or the other in the future, then nothing stops installing iTunes on your PC and setting up a free Apple ID and using the web to see what these apps are giving away. Then manually searching with iTunes and downloading these apps
(IE adding them to your apple id for future use)

and 100's of others, some i have installed now, some i don't, but a trip to my itunes and i have them all back again and ready to use...  games, apps, all free, no obligations.. to cool to be true, but this is one of them times were it's true... and it ROCKS!!!

Remember ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEIR STORE BUTTON SAYS FREE
on the iTunes store page before clicking a download  ;)

So why do this?
well normal FREE apps have adverts.. they open pop ups in your browser (under the app your using)  That crap just eats your data allowance..



Samsung Mobile Phone & JAVA Tips

Samsung Tocco Mobile Phone Tips



Saw this crap a lot of times around the internet recently when i was trying to remember
how to REMOVE that white and Blue G Symbol Icon on the Samsung Tocco Lite GT-S5230
ive had mine about a year & my mate just got one


Loads of stupid pages full of adverts and mostly talking about unblocking a contact.. what kinda of reply is that ffs, other people on Yahoo answers also said it can't be done.. yeah right....  IT CAN....






So i was messing about with it for him & tryna remember some of the basics
and Goolge was NO help at all!!!!!
so i dug out my disks ide burnt back when i did mine and heres a little guide


Depending on the Phones FirmWare
there was a number of codes you needed to no
such as the

Admin-Menu
Operator PreConfiguration
Internals Master Key

and a few others.....
These HIDDEN SYSTEM MENUS were accessed via your Phones Dialer
using codes that Begin with  *#   and end in *#

I have managed to cut through ALL the menus IN ALL the "CURRENT "  FirmWares
to bring you ONE CODE to access the AUTO POWER ON GPRS......

when you use this key  and then Un-Tick The box  (RESTART THE PHONE!!!!)
the Blue G logo will be GONE.....    BUT    when you wish to access the internet
OR open an APP that Requires the Internet IT WILL APPEAR AND IT WILL WORK.
When you close the app, GPRS will also close & the icon will go away again....

WARNING!!!!!

If you have Enabled Mobile Tracking in the security section of the phone
  (to monitor your kids movements or a partner whose not all their in the head)
         that tracking may No Longer Work when the phone is off....
Also PLEASE NOTE
"If" you "COULD/DID" turn it off and go back in and it IS OFF,
yet the blue G is still their....


 Then clearly your phone is doing something Behind your back...
IE.. mobile tracker is on..  or FB is always logged in...
IE IE Something of Yours MUST  be accessing the net
so saying i turned it off & its still their is YOUR PROBLEM & NOT THIS GUIDE.....


ALSO NOTE Turning off the Auto Power On GRPS will save you up to 20% of your battery life  :)

Here is the Code to bring up the Option to turn OFF the auto power on
  if its "Ticked"  Untick it....

Open Phone Dialer & Type In This Code   *#4777*8665#
(this works on MOST Samsung phones and if it doesn't, it wont mater)
you'll just get WRONG number & nothing will be changed

You can also use the same code to go back in and turn it back on...


Here as some MISC FirmWare Codes For Samsung Tocco's Ive Encountered
(They Vary Between Model & FirmWare)
you will notice that GPRS option when you go through your menus
I just provided the Exact Direct Code to save you time...
and in case you have a firmware where the Menu Access codes them selves have been changed



FirmWare = S5230XPJK1 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#5239870*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#27236*#
Internals Master Key: *#7092463*#

FirmWare = S5230XPIK5 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#5239870*#
Internals Master Key: *#7092463*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#27236*#

FirmWare = S5230XEII4 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#6984125*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#6984125*#
Internals Master Key: *#9072641*#
Operator Code for Pre-configuration *#73561*#



How can i check what firmware i have on the samsung tocco ?
Open the Dialer and Dial   *#1234#

"""DON'T press ANY of the On Screen Buttons that appear"""
just press the Power Off Button ONCE to close the screen


How can i unlock a Samsung Tocco Light?  Multiloader V5.56
that's dead easy, their are video guides on youtube
(with all needed tools in the video descriptions)
just read the comments to see if people say yes or no
and also try to use a LAP TOP to do it
power loss during phone flash can be risky
You only need the basic data transfer cable to do it to

MultiLoader_V5.56.exe

Also make sure you plug phone in and let all the new hardware stuff come and go
(plug phone in to computer/laptop when phones OFF & go through the new hardware)
(plug phone in again with phone on)  making sure to keep using the SAME USB port
saves windows finding new hardware during a FLASH and taking control of the port
ALSO when the flasher says its DONE wait a bit and if u have to turn off the phone
IF the flasher comes up failed
(do it again,  AND DON'T turn phone off or unplug it
leave it in download mode and do it again


Plugging im my Tocco, the PC keeps saying found new hardware for Mobile Broadcom and windows cant find driver when it checks my pc or the disk ?
Google this  OR this "V_Mobile1.0 Broadcommdriver"  and "Pre-Install USB Drivers" and "MCCI Corporation"
(if google looks for something else AND says OR search for, use the Or search for)
google has a horrible thing were it Changes what you typed in
and shows you results for what IT THOUGHT YOU MEANT......
  "V_Mobile1.0 Broadcommdriver"    IS A FILE NAME,    NOT A TYPO
you would think Samsung would of put that driver on their disk right?  BAH!!!


you can also get a Wallpaper Maker, takes 3 Pictures on PC and merges the 3 into 1
  google  "Samsung Tocco Wallpaper Maker"
or try  "S5230WallpaperCreator"   or "Copyright © Oleg Zhuk 2009"
AGAIN, make sure google doesn't show wrong results with its DID YOU MEAN...

 
S5230WallpaperCreator.exe


ALSO NOTE THIS BEFORE GAME/APP INSTALL QUESTIONS

SAMSUNG TOCCO/Lite/Ultra  =  JAVA PHONE

SAMSUNG GALAXY =  ANDROID PHONE

ANDROID IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM
JAVA IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM
(they are NOT the same)

why can't I install Java Games On The Galaxy?  "Moronic Question"
how can i run Java Games On a Galaxy?  (with a JAVA Emulator  GOOGLE!!!!)
GOOGLE...  (asking this kinda crap is like playing a DVD in a Washing Machine FFS)


So HOW can I Install Java Games On My Samsung Tocco
(remember this is a TOCCO TIPS POST.. NOT a Galaxy Post)
this also isn't a RANDOM MOBILE PHONE HACKING BLOG.. 
LOOK WERE YOU ARE...
 ****Don't ask any NONE Tocco Illegal Related Questions Here*****

And i am in this mood over the stupid questions from the tocco video i did
which NO ONE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT THEY WERE TOLD IN THE VIDEO!!!


To Install a JAR file  (that's ON YOUR PHONE)
Copy the file (game APP or what ever JAR) into your PHONE
Right into the ROOT "Media"  then rename it to   1.jar

Open the Phone Browser and Create a BOOKMARK
THIS IS THE WEB ADDRESS FOR THE File and Its PATH IN THE PHONE

file:///Media/1.jar


To Install a JAR file  (that's ON YOUR SD MEMORY CARD)
Copy the file (game APP or what ever JAR) into your SD CARD
Right into the ROOT "Media"  then rename it to   1.jar

Open the Phone Browser & Create a BOOKMARK
THIS IS THE WEB ADDRESS FOR THE File and Its PATH ON THE SD CARD

file:///Mount/mmc/1.jar


REMEMBER this is for TOCCO TOCCO TOCCO

I Can't find the Media Folder?

Go to the JAR FILE on the phone (were ever YOU put it)
select MOVE
then when it asks WHERE
select the ROOT of the Phone  (USE THE PHONE, NOT THE PC)
select The Root Using The Phone


Phone and SD Card MENU EXAMPLE
===============================
Images
Videos
Sounds
Other files
1.JAR
<------ data-blogger-escaped-here="here">

Can i use the "Other Files" Folder instead?
Yes...

BUT you MUST change the paths like this

file:///Media/Other%20files/1.jar  phone

 file:///Mount/mmc/Other%20files/1.jar  SD


Folder Spaces MUST BE FILLED using   %20   instead of a space



I am trying to install a game on my tocco and its over 500kb and the phone gives me an error message when i try to run the app or game?
 (this happens with the likes of "Angry Birds HD" and other games over 500KB)
 to by pass this you have to use the Admin menu codes, so first you install the game, then if you get an error running the game, find the Admin menu code that works for you, check firmware to narrow down attempts
and then  FOR EXAMPLE...
On your mobile phone click on the 'Dial' button, than dial '*#6984125*#' go to 'Internals' enter the following Master Key '*#9072641*#' Go to 'Storage Settings' and click on 'Update Java DB'.
so what ever your code you MUST get to the Update Java DB and run it
Now your game will run when you click on it to play it :D

There is a Good Video Guide showing How Its Done HERE


Ps....
if you found this Page using Google OR another search engine...  ROCK ON...
if you asked someone and they pointed you here....
THINK HARD BEFORE YOU PLACE A COMMENT


PPS
ALSO A MASSIVE WARNING.....  NEVER EVER use a SAMSUNG RESET CODE!!!
there used to be a default reset code &amp; anyone who found a code could just remove the sim... power on the phone.. type in a key... and it reset the phone removing ALL pins and security.. this was a really naughty code...

BUT  today what that code is a naughty nasty code
does the same thing with an ADDITIONAL thing...
It changes the IME to  OOOOOOOOO  so  DON'T use it ANY factory Reset Codes....
or the phone has no MAC and can NO longer be used

how do i no if i can use a factory reset code?
All i remember from back then is this........
The IME WIPE appeared about half way through the Samsung D900 model release life span
IF you have wiped one, you maybe able to "Restore The Boot File"
U can also use the term  "How To Unbrick or Un-Brick... and the phone model number"
when searching google

BRICK.. NOT BLOCK... Computers are as Thick As You Are
So Terminology is what you need to put in a Search Engine

You can also get one of these, goes in the cable/power socket to use Headphones

Samsung Tocco Headphone Adapter

Manual Cover
