How MMC cards get corruptted

Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending. Given the natue of mobile memory card products, they are constantly being taken in and out of some form of interface with a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, or desktop PC, or a separate memory card reader. The number of different devices they have to be able to interact with is in the thousands. It is not too surprisingly, then that sometimes the state of the file system on the memory card can get damaged. This may happen for a number of different reasons, including: - Removing the card from a device whilst an application is trying to read/write to it. - Battery drain on a device whilst in use meaning an insufficent voltage failure whilst writing to the card. - Poor implementation of the MMC standard on the device using the card. - Poor connectivity software drivers on the device or the Windows PC/Mac. - Physical damage like card or device being dropped, bent, getting wet etc. As often as not, the problem is not terminal for your memory card, but just a software issue ( or in physical terms, it could be called "a temporary disalignment of the all the bits and bytes on the card"). The fix for this problem is the same as for any other file storage device (like a floppy or hard drive) with corrupt or invalid file system, namely; re-format the file system.

Free gprs in Idea india network

Follow the simple procedure to enjoy free idea gprs trick.




The trick here lies in the fact that you are actually fooling the server system into indecision. Just follow the steps and you will come to know how to fool the computer.

1. Send GP13 to 444.

2. Send the same message again after few hours and you will get a reply that your request is already in the queue for execution.

3. And after a day or so you will find that your gprs has been activated for the second time.

4. Then send request for deactivation, send NOGP13 to 4444 and again after few hours send the message again.

One thing you should keep in mind is that you must restart your phone after each message you send and once you are through with all these steps and you are lucky enough then you may enjoy free idea gprs on your mobile and on your pc too. I will again reemphasis on the fact that the service providers carefully monitor these free hacks and tricks and update their system regularly. So most of the times it depends on your luck whether the settings work or not.

For your assistance I am writing some proxies:

Please take care that you should use UCweb or opera mini while browsing from your phone and use opera or smart web while browsing through your pc.

Finally! Yahoo Messenger is now available for free on the iPhone. It may not be the most popular instant messaging program out there, but users can now run a tailored version of it on the iPhone. You’ll be able to do some of the same things enabled for desktop computers; which should be no surprise to anyone having used it. Sadly though, just as with other apps on the iPhone, it won’t run in the background fully. Instead, it will keep you logged in for ten minutes while displaying you as idle to other people. Once the ten minutes are up, you’ll need to log back in order to stay active. Anyway, they at least put some effort into the look and feel of the app.

Android powered netbooks?????

In a news story that’s, frankly, surprising no-one, Mobile Today is reporting that Google Android may well be coming to a laptop near you, very soon. More specifically, we may well be seeing it enter the so-called netbook market, currently dominated by the likes of the Asus Eee PC (or Eeeeeee-by-gum PC, as I call it), the Acer Aspire series, and the Dell Inspiron Mini 9.




So, as well as seeing it soon on the HTC Magic, and upcoming phones from LG and Samsung, it seems more than likely that it’ll be wending its merry way over to lickle mini laptops (or laptots, as I’ve seen various commenters call them) in the not too distant future.



But then, a lot of people (most notably, to me anyway, my very good friend and personal IT guru, codenamed “Bulldog, guard-hound of the interkennel”) are speculating whether that was the plan all along…



Think about it, who’s Google’s arch-nemesis? Well, granted, they probably have more than one, but right up there on that list has got to be the gang from Redmond… Microsoft… who just so happen to still control the lion’s share of the PC market, despite inroads made by Linux and Apple’s OSX.



So, could it be possible that Google only really got into the mobile market in order to give Android a stronger foundation, before they moved it to the PC world, and took the fight to Microsoft? Well, probably not, since they’d probably want to milk the mobile market for all it’s worth, as well (and yes, it’s growing in worth every, single day), but one can’t help but speculate that their long-term goal was getting it on phones and PCs, in order to firmly smack Microsoft in the gob.



Of course, since netbook-y type laptops and smartphones aren’t a million miles away from each other, one could also speculate that Android getting involved could lead to even more convergence, with an uber-device that is both a smartphone and a laptop…



Time will tell…
