Android devices are growing like wildfire courtesy of the amazing features offered by the operating system. But, calling and messaging still hold prime importance,that’s where contacts play a crucial role. Backing up and importing contacts to your Android device may sound easy, but many end up in a soup doing this.
A backup of your contacts comes in handy in case the phone crashes or gets lost. Importing contacts to your device is necessary in case you switch from one phone to another ( both devices run different operating systems) . So, in this post we have highlighted the various ways by which you can backup and import contacts in your Android device.

BACKUP:-

In Android, you can create a backup of your contacts in many ways.
1) In your Android phone, go to Settings-> Backup & reset -> Backup Account and select the account you want to backup. Make sure that “Backup my data” option is ticked.

 2) SYNC-Make sure the contacts on your Android device are synced with your Google account. To do this go to Settings-> Under the accounts tab select your account. You’ll get something like this.

The “contacts” tab should be ticked to synchronize them with your Google account. You can check out your backed up contacts on Google Contacts.

3) APPLICATIONS- You also have the option of creating a backup on the SD card with apps available on the Google Play Store. Some of them are:-
a) SUPER BACKUP- This app allows you backup your contacts, messages, call logs, bookmarks, calenders to the SD card. Apps can also be backed up if the phone is rooted. This app is free of cost.
b) MY BACKUP- You can backup your contacts, apps ,messages, call log, photos,music,videos etc or even schedule backups to either the SD card or their online server. This app is limited 30 day trial , after that you’ll need to buy the pro version available for Rs.217.77 or $4 on the Google Play Store.
c) BACKUP CONTACTS- This is another good app that allows you to backup your contacts to SD card, Dropbox, Google, Outlook or send it as an Email.

IMPORT:-

You can import contacts to your Android device either from an old GSM phone or contacts saved in another email account.

1) OLD GSM TO ANDROID- If you want to import contacts from an old GSM handset to your new Android device, just export all the contacts to the SIM card in your old phone. Now plug  the SIM card in your Android phone and import all the contacts. As simple as that.

You can also import contacts to your Android phone in case you have contacts stored in vCard format in the external storage.

2) OTHER EMAIL ACCOUNT-In case you have contacts saved in an email account(other than Gmail like Yahoo!, Hotmail or AOL), you can import those contacts to Gmail and sync your Gmail account with your Android phone.
Here’s what you need to do:-

i) Open your Gmail account and click on the “gear tab” in the top-right end of your inbox. Select settings.

Introduction

jellybean by Tips&101Tricks
The Android operating system has been developing fast since the release of Version 2.x (ranging from Eclair, Froyo to Gingerbread) for smartphones and Version 3 (Honeycomb) for tablets. It achieves another great milestone with the latest Version 4 (Ice Scream Sandwich or ICS), a universal system suitable for running on both smartphone and tablet devices.
If you're using a smartphone running on the Android version 2.x, you will be familiar with the four hardware buttons—Back, Menu, Home and Search—to interact with the system. Borrowing the design built for the tablet, Google's flagship smartphone Galaxy Nexus running on Android 4.0 now has no hardware buttons on the front, not even one. These hardware buttons turn virtual, leaving only two physical buttons—Volume and Power—on the left and right sides of the device.

Like the screenshot, the three buttons Back, Home and Recent Apps often appear on a home screen and the Menu button only shows up when an app needs it. When you playback a video, the default media app hides all these onscreen buttons and takes up the whole screen area for your video. A pretty good idea.
If you've just got a new Android device running on Version 4.0, these tips and tricks might be of help to you. Some relevant information on older versions of Android is added for ease of reference where applicable.
Note: These tips and tricks work best with Android 4.0 on Galaxy Nexus. Some steps here may differ from your Android system if it is of a previous version or has been modified by the device supplier.

 How to Switch between Open Apps

Swichting apps tips&101TricksWhen running an app, you can minimize it by simply tapping the Home icon. Getting back to it is not just one click on the taskbar like the way you do in Windows. But the Android way is pretty straightforward too.

  1. Tap the Recent Apps icon to reveal the apps that you recently opened. (Note 2)
  2. Slide down to see more recent apps.
  3. Tap a screenshot from the list to instantly switch to the app.
Note 1: You can clear the recent apps from the list by swiping them sideways one by one. Note 2: On Android 2.x, touch and hold the Home button to reveal recent apps

How to Close a Running App

The Android system doesn't need you to close a running app for every instance. But in some cases you may need to force stop an app that's misbehaving, or like playing a game, you may need to actually close the app in order to start a new level rather than continuing the last. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Run the Settings app and tap Apps under DEVICE.
  2. Select the app you want to close.
  3. Tap the 'Force stop' button and tap 'OK' to confirm.
How to Set and Clear a Default App
clearing default apps Tips&101Tricks
In Android, you can set a file to open with a certain program by default as you do in Windows. For example, if you have installed an image viewer such as QuickPic, the system will ask you to select an app when you try to open an image file (See the screenshot).
  • To set a default app to open the file, check 'Use by default for this action' before you tap that app.
The next time you tap an image file, it will always open with the app you've selected without asking you again.
What if you need to clear the default app?
  1. Run the Settings app and tap Apps under DEVICE.
  2. Choose the app you do not want to launch by default.
  3. Tap 'Clear defaults' under LAUNCH BY DEFAULT.
How to Uninstall an App
Installing apps from the Google Play store to your Android device is convenient, likewise removing them is pretty straightforward.
  1. Tap the All Apps icon on the tray and select the Apps tab on the top.
  2. Touch and hold the icon of the app you want to uninstall.
  3. Drag and drop the app icon over the Uninstall icon then tap 'OK' to confirm. (The Uninstall icon appears only for the app that can be uninstalled from the system.)
Alternatively, you can run the Settings app, tap Apps under DEVICE then select the app you want to uninstall from the list.

How to Install a Third Party App
Most apps are available for download and install easily via the Play Store. If you have a third party app that is only available from sources other than the Play Store and you think it's useful and secure to install, the Android system allows you to do so after changing the settings.
  1. Run the Settings app and tap Security under PERSONAL.
  2. Tick "Unknown sources" under DEVICE ADMINISTRATION.
  3. Tap "OK" to the system reminder that your device and personal data are more vulnerable to attack by apps from unknown sources.
You can then browse to the app file ending with an .apk suffix, known as the Android application package, tap and install it right away.

How to Add and Remove Icons from Home Screens
When you install an app, the system often adds an app icon on your home screen. This icon works as a shortcut to run the app. In case you need to manually add an app icon or a widget icon yourself, it's pretty easy.
  1. Tap the All Apps icon on the tray.
  2. Select the Apps or Widgets tab on the top.
  3. Remove app icons Tips&101TricksTouch and hold the icon you want to create a shortcut.
  4. Drag and drop the icon on a home screen you like.
To remove an icon from your home screen:
  1. Touch and hold the icon of apps, widgets or shortcuts until the Remove icon appears on the top.
  2. Drag and drop the icon over the Remove icon.
Note: On Android 2.x, you can add a shortcut icon by touching and holding an empty location of a home screen or press Menu then tap 'Add'; On Android 3.0, touch the customize button at the top right of a home screen to add a shortcut icon.

How to Re-arrange Icons
Re-arrange Icons Tips&101tricksWhen you install new apps to your Android, the system stacks up the icons automatically without asking you to select a home screen. But you can subsequently re-arrange the icons on the home screens and on the tray.
  1. Touch and hold any icon on your screen for a second.
  2. Drag the icon to a different spot on the screen, or even to or from the tray, except for the permanent "All Apps" icon.
  3. You can also drag an icon to the left or right edge of the screen until it starts sliding, then drop the icon to another screen.

How to Create, Rename and Remove Folders
Other than the apps on the tray, sometimes it's difficult to quickly look for an app to open if you have many icons spreading across a few home screens. Why not create a folder to group similar apps together? It's much easier than you might think.
  1. Create a Folder for AppsTouch and hold any icon for a second.
  2. Drag the icon over the top of another. The system then automatically groups two app icons in a folder.
  3. Touch the folder, then tap "Unnamed Folder", key in a name for the folder and tap "Done".
You can rename a folder at any time—tap a folder then tap its name to rename.
While the system auto creates a folder for you, it does the same to removing a folder automatically—tap a folder to expand it, then clear all grouped items inside the folder—just touch and hold, then drag them out from the folder one by one.
Note: Older Android system doesn't support this feature, but you can rely on a third-party app such as GO Launcher EX to achieve almost the same effect.

How to Type Faster with Multiple Spaces

How to Cut, Copy and Paste
Cut, Copy and Paste Tips&101TricksThis looks simple but can be tricky sometimes when you use different apps. In general, these steps can be used in Email or some other apps:

  2. Tap Display under DEVICE.
  3. Uncheck "Auto-rotate screen".
Your screen will then lock to the portrait mode. To unlock it, check the above option.

  1. Press and hold down the Power and Volume-down buttons simultaneously.
  2. Open the Gallery app, and you can see your screenshot already saved in the Screenshots album.

  • Depending on the notification type, you can swipe a notification sideway to dismiss it, or tap the X-sign to dismiss all from the list.
  • To access a notification, tap it and you're taken to the related email, reminder, message or app. The notification then clears automatically from the list where applicable.
Note: When you slide down from the top of the screen, you can also see this Quick Settings icon. Touching this icon is equivalent to running the Settings app.

Do you like to download things from the Internet? Do you try out a lot of different programs? These days you can't be too careful about what you get from the Internet. Here is how to make those downloads safer.

One of the easiest ways to do a security check of what you are interested in is to use the free online service VirusTotal. This service will scan a submitted file with dozens of different anti-malware programs. Files can be uploaded from your PC to VirusTotal for checking but an even better procedure is to check a file before you download it. You can submit the download link to VirusTotal and get it scanned without the file ever being on your system.

The most convenient procedure is to use one of the add-ons that VirusTotal provides for the major Internet browsers. These add-ons place an entry in the browser right-click context menu that provides an online check of a selected URL. All you have to do is right-click a download link and quite quickly you will get a report of the results of scans from multiple anti-virus programs.

Here is how to get the VirusTotal add-on or extension for the three major Windows browsers. 

  • Google Chrome browser extension - VTchromizer
    VirusTotal documentation for the Chrome extension is found here. The extension can be installed from the Google Chrome store at this link. After installation, the browser right-click context menu for an URL will contain the entry “Check with VirusTotal”. 
  • Firefox browser extension - VTzilla
    VirusTotal documentation for the Firefox extension is found here. The extension can be installed at this Mozilla site. After installation, the browser right-click context menu for an URL will contain the entry “Scan with VirusTotal”. The Firefox extension also modifies the download dialog. 
  • Internet Explorer add-on - VTexplorer
    VirusTotal documentation and the installation link for the Internet Explorer add-on are here. After installation, the browser right-click context menu for an URL will contain the entry “Send URL to VirusTotal”.
Note that if you use script blockers like the Firefox extension NoScript, you will need to whitelist the VirusTotal website.
These are very useful browser add-ons but, of course, the scans before downloading are not a complete defense. Whatever resident security measures you normally use will still be called for.

3. Downloading and install their DNS update client available here http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php Run it and enter your credentials. Update your host name and save it.


4. Lets check whether your IP has been associate with chosen host name or not. Go to command prompt and type 'pingyourhostname' (without quotes).

Hopefully it should reply with your IP address.

Now its time for configuring Trojan.


1. Open prorat.exe that you have downloaded. You have to stop your firewall and antivirus softwares.


2. Click on Create and then create ProRat server


3. Enter your host name in the ProRat Notification field. Uncheck all other options.


4. Click on general setting Tabs and have a look at server port, password, and victim name. Remember these things. Checkout and configure other options as per your need. You can bind server.exe with any genuine file, change the icon etc.


5. Finally Click on create server and now it's ready to be sent to victim. Once victim installs it, it would automatically disable antivirus/firewall.


Now, it's to send this server to victim. Are you getting bored??? Take a cup on Coffee ;) 

Okay Lets go Further,

Modes of Sending:

You must be thinking of sending this to victim through an email as an attachment but unfortunately you cant do so. The good option is to upload it on any uploading site like mediafire.com  and give downloading link to victim. 

What after victim has run the server part??

1. Click on ProConnective Tab and start listening to connections. Allow firewall if it asks you to open a port.

2. You will start listening to connections, I mean you will get a notification when victim will be online.

Note: If you know victims is online and still it's not listening to any connections. Trace victim's IP, enter in IP field and hit connect. But it's going to work only if he is not behind any network and directly connected to the internet.
