Monitor and Control your PC remotely from your Smartphone while Gaming

This goes for all the hard core gamers out there who like to play games on their computers. The last thing any gamer want while playing games, is the disturbance which can be from someone outside or from the computer apps. How does it feel when there is some facebook message, or twitter update on your desktop when you are playing? It doesn’t feel nice when your system starts lagging due to maximum usage of the RAM and you have to quit the game to control the task manager. What if someone asks you to lower the volume of the audio being played in the background; you will again have to quit playing.

Here is a simple app that can completely monitor and control your computer remotely using your smartphone whether iPhone or Android without having you to quit playing and taking a break. Moreover the app is completely free to use.

The app is known as Roccat Power-Grid, and lets you monitor your system for statistics, control it and also access your apps on PC like youtube, outlook, social media and others. So whether it is the lagging system which can be controlled by your phone, or app message which, now, can be used on your phone or some hardware settings which can also be controlled on your phone, you don’t have to quit the action you are in already.

So how this works? Just install the app on your computer and on your phone to allow the pairing of the devices and easily monitor and control your machine remotely. Moreover the app is fully customizable as you can select the apps you want and use the most, so that you can instantly take action.

The tool is available for use for free for both computer and phone and can be downloaded from the link below.

Buying Used Cell Phone? Check for Bad ESN/IMEI Number

We all love our cell phones so much that we can’t even think of spending a day without it. It happened to me recently when I lost my phone on road. I have a Samsung Note 2 which I really liked. Fortunately, I also have mobile insurance plan which allowed me to get a replacement device (for some cost) within couple of days but spending those two days were not easy. This was when I came to know about an all different world of used phones and the ESN numbers.

So for all those who are new to this and don’t have much information on buying used phones, here are some useful facts that you should know. These days almost all the major carriers sell their phones with a contract for like 12 months or 24 months, which is why they sell the phones at a very cheap rate of like $200 (for a phone which is about $600). So why are they heavily subsidizing this? The answer is simple; they wish to keep their customers with them for a long time.

While this idea suits many people, there are others who don’t like to stay that long with any network and want to be free. Thus they also look for some used phone in the market which is unlocked. Now, you can get a genuinely used phone which is legal to use but chances are you might also get a blacklisted phone too. In case you are already looking for some used phone, then you might have come across some terms known as ESN or IMEI.

ESN is short for Electronic Serial Number and is a number printed on the back of the phone underneath the battery to uniquely identify it. Similarly it is the IMEI number which is present for all the GSM phones. Now, if someone had lost a phone or someone had stolen a device, then that phone will get blacklisted by the network so that it can’t be used again on that network (and the ESN will now be known as Bad ESN). Same is the case if someone decides to quit a contract without paying the pending amount.

So should we buy Used phones?

Yes, there is no stopping on buying the used phones as long as they are clean ESNs/IMEI and can be used with the network of your choice. While no one will tell you if the ESN is bad, but what you should do to be sure is call your network operator and provide them the ESN/IMEI to check whether the phone is clean to use on their network or not.

If the number is clean, then go ahead and buy the phone else better to stay away from the people who want to phish you. After all, it is still your own hard earned money.

Remove Temp Files and Free up Disk Space on iPhone/iPad/iTouch

We have been using iPhone for so long and love it for its features, don’t we? However there is some limitation to it too like the limited storage capacity of the iPhone which can’t be expanded using a memory card. Even there is no possibility that Apple will introduce some memory expansion feature in the model in near future.

Thus it is the low memory problem that we come across on our iOS devices. Whether it is about freeing the disk space or deleting the useless files that consume the phone memory, we need to run some scan on it to make the device memory healthy. So if you are worried about your iPhone getting slow or the iPad running out of disk space, we have a solution for you.

With the help of this free utility called PhoneClean, you can get rid of all these memory problems. You just need to download and install this utility on your computer, connect the iOS device which will be detected easily, run the scan on it, analyze the files consuming memory and clean up to claim the memory back.

You can even stop the scan in between without any adverse effect on your device. After the scan has been done, it shows you the amount of memory that will be freed when you clean up the device. So you can check and uncheck any file that you wish to keep and delete.


PhoneClean is a great tool to free up some space on your iOS device including iPhone, iPad and iTouch. This tool also helps you in making the device run faster. The tool works great on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 both 32 and 64 bit versions.

File Manager for iPhone: View all Files on your iPhone

Our smartphones are capable of doing so many things that expecting it to view files would not be wrong. With so many features provided in our smartphones, we should make full use of these. All smartphones including iPhone is capable of reading various file formats (apart from the normal image, audio and video formats) like word docs, excel files and PDF.


The only limitation that I feel here is that to be able to view all these files we need to download and run different third party apps on it. There should be some app that can read and display all the files in the phone right at the same place without the need of going to different apps. This task can be easily done with the help of some file manager app that can manage all the files present in the phone and display them.

Well if you have iPhone or iPad, here is some good news. With the help of this app called File Manager, you can not only see the complete list of files present in your iPhone but also read them right at one place without the need to go anywhere else. You can add any file to the app via iTunes just by dragging and dropping the file in the app folder in iTunes.

There are 3 more ways of adding files into the app that is via Dropbox, Browser and Image Gallery. If you have a Dropbox account, you can download files from there and read them. If you know download link of some file, you can download it right into the app using the browser in the app and you can view images using the Image Gallery option of the app.

Moreover there are some other actions that you can perform on the files present, like renaming them, deleting, archiving or zipping them. So in case you wish to try out the app, visit the link below (however the app is paid currently).
