Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

140+ latest secret codes for Android phones!

140+ latest secret codes for Android phones!

Secret Codes are an integral part of all smartphones, and they are used mainly to test the functions of the phone. With them, you can find out what your phone is hiding or what it can do, what it has from the sensors, whether everything works from the hardware, etc.

These secret codes vary depending on the phone brand, model, and sometimes the network. In this article, you can find a list of over 140 secret codes for Android phones grouped by phone brands.

Keep in mind that some may not work, but also that you do everything at your own risk. I, and anyone else, am not responsible if any damage to the phone occurs due to the use of the information in this article. Before typing any code, you can check on Google if it still appears somewhere and thus confirms its accuracy.

It would be good to write down the codes you need for the phone you want to buy, especially if you are buying a used phone. I also wrote a special article on how to prepare for buying a used phone, so read on.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

Controversial U.S. anti-piracy laws, known by the acronyms SOPA and PIPA lost the support of eight members of Congress after major protests by the Internet community. Support was denied, among others, by Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising star of the Republican Party, and his party colleague Roy Blunt of Missouri - who were among the signatories of the bills.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Wireless phone chargers - where, which and how to buy?

Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them,  which I already wrote about .
