How to Share files over Wi-Fi in Windows phone - Share-it...

Simplest solution for sharing in WP- SHAREit

Guys if you have problems while sharing files over Wi-Fi in Windows phone, you have come to the best place to clear your doubt.

The simplest way is SHAREit app...
Comparatively stable and simple UI...

Since Windows phone lack Wi-Fi direct feature you need to connect manually before transferring files... It is just like Bluetooth pairing...

If you want to share with an Android phone, I suggest that first you open your friends android phone and select the operation (send or receive). It will create a Wi-Fi hotspot on the android phone and connect manually your Windows phone to the network. Then open SHAREit app from your phone and select corresponding operation...
Search and find the other phone...
Start transferring files quickly...

If you want to transfer between two windows phones then create hotspot in one device and connect the other. Open app in both phones and follow the same steps above...

Now you have the solution to one of the most impossibility in windows phone...!!!!
Cheer and Share...

If you want to transfer files with computer via Wi-Fi or a phone without any app there is a solution... I will explain it in the upcoming post.

Reason for Quick draining of battery and data balance in android... How Battery Saver help WP???


Control over background apps using Battery Saver in WP...

Hi guys,

         I have already revealed about the battery back up of Lumia... Here I am going to reveal the major reason behind this- BATTERY SAVER... A great feature provided by Microsoft... It gives us ultimate control over the working of apps..

The working of many apps in background is one of the main reasons for draining battery because it gives load to the processor... In all android phones this is the reason that even if we turn of background processes, there will be still running apps. In this context Microsoft gives users full control of background running apps... That is, if we don't allow them to work in background it won't....

Battery saver notifies us about the time since last charge and the estimated time remaining along with present battery status.

It gives us graphical representation of apps that consume more battery.
So we can take control of each required apps.

There is an option to set conservation of battery. I prefer to set it after 20%. Then the screen brightness will decrease, all background processes will be stopped, it will definitely lead to give you more out of your battery...

If you want apps to run always like WhatsApp then you have the option to run the app even if the battery saver is active...! Then you won't be offline....


Another great thing about this app is that it saves your data balance... We are living in a tech world where remaining MBs matter....


If the apps are not running background don't worry about losing your data if mobile data is on...

Now you got the reason behind the quick draining of battery and data balance in android...!!!!

All these makes Lumia unique in such an affordable price...
Love your Lumia.....

The Great Difference between ANDROID PHONES and LUMIA...

WHAT MAKES LUMIA DIFFERENT FROM ANDROID...

Today Guys I am sharing some facts about the battery usage in Lumia.

I have used  android phones which drinks up the battery juice very fast especially Samsung. I didn't even get 1 day battery backup.

When I changed to my first Lumia (Lumia 520) the change was drastic. I got 5 days of battery backup without using internet and more than one day with mobile data on...

Guys it's a 1430 mAh battery that powers the Lumia 520...!!! 

From my experience it was clear that "it is not about the mAh of the battery, it is about the quality of battery and requirement of the phone that determine the battery backup."

Today we can see many junk android devices which have 4000 to 5000 mAh batteries... Guys please ask those users how much it lasts... May be 1 or 2 days... That's all...

I am now using Lumia 640 which is powered by 2500 mAh Microsoft battery... Let me share a screen shot of my battery saver...
Battery saver app in wp


Look at this... 4 days 4 hours used after charge... Still 13% remaining...

Guys, you should remember it is a 5 inch display phone... Can you see an Android phone with even 3000mAh can have this??? No.....

Another thing that makes us feel proud of our Lumia...

There are great things about BATTERY SAVER app... I will share it in the upcoming post...

Screen behind lock screen in Lumia....

Glance Screen + Tap to Wake...

Hi friends,
Glance screen in wp

Today I am going to explain about the screen behind lock screen in Lumia phones.

It is the marvellous combination of Glance screen and Double tap to wake features that simplify our daily life.

Only give a look at the screen.... Yes you can get time and notifications on the display...
Double tap anywhere on the display... Yes it glows up and you have the lock screen before you...

Most of the Lumias have this features and it can be activated from settings.

Due to hardware limitations, some Lumias doesn't have these.
The Glance Screen uses Nokia's Clear Black Display Technology. This is missing in some models...

Double tap to wake enable us to avoid the use of lock button. We may install an app for locking screen from start tile, it will fully avoid use of lock button...

It is a really useful technology... Use it guys...

And the best part is it doesn't drink your battery juice... Trust me... It takes only below 5% for one day's full use...

Change your calling experience on WP...

Hey guys....

  Do you want a completely hands free gestures app..?


There is an app called "GESTURES BETA" on windows phone store which makes our daily mobile usage clutter free...



You can't find any gesture app that stands with this Microsoft provided app.

How about attempting phone calls without using your fingers..?
Just simply take the phone and place it to your ear and start talking....

It helps us to shine before a crowd...
It makes android users jealous...
It is for daily use. It doesn't eat up your battery . It is simple and lighter.
Just install it and forget about it.

Still in beta version it provides you s stable experience.


It can do the following things :

1.Answer calls when placing phone nearer to ear.

2. Silence incoming calls when placed face down.

3. Go on speaker mode when placed face up during call.

4. Go on ear mode when bringing back to ear.

5. Mute microphone while calling by putting the phone face down during call.

It makes our calling experience different and much easier than before...
If you haven't installed this tiny app it is going to be a big loss...
