HOW TO FIND AND DELETE DUPLICATE FILES ON AN ANDROID PHONE

Nowadays storage is not a problem for most android devices. Android phones today come with a minimum storage capacity of at least 16GB and adding to that you even have the ability to increase your phone’s storage capacity by adding Micro SD cards up to 64GB in size.

When we have so much storage space at your disposal, most of us will dump whatever they can on their phone’s storage and eventually your phone’s storage will be filled up to the brim. As usual next thing most of us will do is to delete useless files and try to free up some extra space.

Deleting unnecessary files is a good idea, but most of us give a blind eye to duplicate files. On an average, about 10% of the physical storage on most devices is filled with duplicate files. Deleting these duplicate files will help you to free up  additional space on your Android phone.

Deleting duplicate files manually won’t be a good idea, for instance duplicate files will always have the same file size but not the same name, which is why we need to make use of an android app to make this process as easy and simple. Here is an Android app that will help you to easily find and delete duplicate files from your android phone.

As the name suggests, Search Duplicate File is an free android app that helps you to search and delete duplicate files from your Android phone. With this app you will be easily able to locate duplicate files on your android phone, but you are required to manually verify the files and delete them yourselves. So follow the instructions below to find and delete duplicate files from your android phone.

Instructions to Find and Delete Duplicate files on an Android Phone

• Step 1: Install the Delete Duplicate Files app from the Google Play Store and open it.
• Step 2: By default all the folders will be selected in the app. All you need to do is tap on the “Search” icon to start searching for duplicate files.

How Does Whatsapp Generate Revenue?

Whatsapp, a very popular mobile app for sending messages over internet. It has become one of the major communication source and no doubt it has all the features necessary to enhance user experience. With easy to load, send, receive text, audio and video messages over phone app it gives you the cheapest way of communicating with your friends and family and stay in continuous contact.

The said service is available on iOS, android, Symbian, blackberry OS and windows platforms. So that means you can have whatsapp installed on almost each and every phone.

All of us just use it for our personal benefits but have you ever wonder why are you getting all these free of cost. Now you must be thinking that why should there be a cost involved in this, since internet charges are paid by you and there is nothing else getting utilized. An app is an already build framework that does not require any other future inputs from the development end or from running point of view. But is this really true? Or are you missing something. May be an IT professional be able to tell you or may be an app developer or may be a blogger.

And how does the developer getting benefited with this app which has crossed billions of users all over the world and is still increasing daily at a very rapid rate.

How in the world is WhatsApp earning anything at all without any ads? Is it even profitable?

The answers are what we have given here and you will be shocked to know some of our deep research answers.

whatsapp revenue model explained

On a different note, Facebook has recently bought Whatsapp. So Why do you think a company like facebook will show interest in a app which we don’t know how much it earns and does it really earns anything at all? Best part? At the time Facebook bought WhatsApp (19th Feb, 2014) for a colossal US$19 billion, it was being run by just 55 people. So there has to be some source of income to satisfy the 55 workers.

Let’s find out the revenue model of Whatsapp and any other app like it.

Whatsapp is earning its revenue through two different ways:
1) Subscription Fee: Whatsapp allows it’s user to enjoy the services for free of cost for first year. However, after that it charges $1 for continued service. But till date, I have not heard of a single person who has paid for this service. Interestingly, it tends to extend the free service period every time a user reaches close to the expiry date.

So this method of revenue generation that seems like the only visible revenue generation scheme is actually not generating the revenue.

I dug a little deeper, and I realized they’re making hundreds of millions of dollars.

Here’s how it works. WhatsApp charges a renewal charge of $1 per annum from its customers, after providing the service for free for the first year. We all know this very fact now and also the fact that it automatically becomes free again for the next year. So what are we missing here?

We are taking a very bad sample of types of people or I should say country. This means that whatsapp is actually not doing this in all other countries. This happens only in India. Yes that’s true and may be some few other small developing nations also. But on large scale there is around 8/10 of the user base that pays for the services by whatsapp every damn year. Now let’s calculate the income roughlyover the year.

Now we know that whatsapp had 55 workers as already mentioned earlier in this post prior to acquisition by facebook. So that means those 55 people collectively earned just 50 cents after 2 years? That’s $0.00001 per person per day! But now think of the number of people who use WhatsApp. As of stats from the month of January 2015, WhatsApp reported surpassing 700 million users. Taking out almost 2/10 of the user base, we still have around 560 million paying users.

Whatsapp is earning more than $560 million per year and that too just by charging its users $1 per year.

latest whatsapp user base stats

Now You must be wondering why are Tanzanian users not getting charged for whatsapp services?

There are many different views for this and somehow all seems to be genuine reasons.

Tanzania is a developing country and almost half of its population is still relying on cash payments. So use of credit and debit cards is still not a part of everyone’s life in Tanzania and many are even afraid of using it since they fear of losing money or getting lost or misplaced. Also the procedure one has to go through is also in the process of improvement. WhatsApp users (in fact, users of most apps of the Android, iOS and Windows platforms) have to make the payment through credit cards. 
So this creates a barrier and this would discourage most of Indian from using the app.

Another reason that many believes exist is the mentality of free usage. If you start charging people here even as low as Tsh1000 or Tsh5000 per year, they would not like to continue with it and thus reduce the user base.

Almost 1/10 of user base is from Tanzania for whatsapp and one cannot lose such big user base and finds some future benefits in this.
WhatsApp obviously would not want to lose out on such a significant number of users, and so for the foreseeable future at least the service will remain free in Tanzania
2) Database Management: According to our speculation, the revenue generation for Whatsapp is also through database management. Your numbers and some other little necessary information are stored with the company and is used for various marketing purposes. We all know that the conversations on Whatsapp are not stored on Whatsapp servers permanently, but only until you don’t receive them. This is the reason whatsapp is quite fast and flawless. It erases the messages as soon as it gets delivered. But many thinks that it is not the case and our conversations are constantly tracked which reflect our interests, likes, dislikes and majorly depicts our preferences. This information is invaluable to big firms where relevant tailor made products can be offered after data sorting.

Industry insiders have speculated that part of the rationale behind acquiring WhatsApp was for Facebook to access user’s behavioral data and personal information. How true that can be? Actually it is business and no one is actually going to tell you his or her next move in his business strategy.

With location sharing data, 30 billion messages sent per day, and access to users’ entire contact lists, Facebook has access to a ton of personal information – all uploaded and saved on its servers. Point to be noted is that “Mark Zuckerberg promises that this data won’t be used to improve consumer targeting in Facebook ads”, it still raises questions about how private our data really is.

Note:-This data management scheme is merely a speculation. As evident, Whatsapp is not involved in ad marketing. Any user can vouch for the fact that it does not support advertisements. There is no way to justify the data management ideology, but then there is no other justified revenue model as well in the store.

So that is how we come to the end of the second most hidden form of earning that is being done on whatsapp and how the future holds for everyone on whatsapp.

Do you think whatsapp has no competition now and since facebook acquires whatsapp there is no way any new app in future can reach to that point of success?

Do you think Whatsapp will start charging Indian customers soon?

Will facebook start showing up advertisements on whatsapp like any other app? If yes what effect can it have?

Is Facebook really sharing our data with companies to earn bigger profits?

Tell us what you think and what you believe is going to be the answers. It is time for you to share your views and opinions on the emerging industry of these small apps that have the potential to earn big.

Hair Fall?: No worries! Do you have onions at home?

Onion belongs to the Allium family and is very rich in sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for its pungent odour and health-promoting properties. “We must remember polyphenols are one of the largest categories of phytonutrients in food and the highest content of it is found in onions! A wide variety of allyl sulfides are found in onion, including the four major diallyl sulfides.”

“Methylsulfonylmethane is a highly absorbable source of sulfur, found abundantly in onions especially in its outer layers. It facilitates the formation of keratin for hair, resulting in hair growth. It also helps a great deal in autoimmune conditions of hair loss like Alopecia Aereata,”

Onion juice can be mixed with crushed methi seed powder and kept overnight with honey. Apply it on dry scalp, or mixed with olive oil for normal scalp. It can also be applied for focal hair loss patches.

Many Expert Dermatologists recommend, topical application of onion juice often along with my allopathic medications. Also, in other conditions of hair fall (but only in all non-scarring ones) I often recommend the topical application of onion juice, followed by hot towel or steam application on scalp and washing it off after 30/ 40 minutes.

Onion has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It also helps fight hair lice, dandruff and can be used as a natural hair nourisher and conditioner. I have also used onion juice along with aloe vera juice and olive oil.

Note:Those allergic to dietary intake of onions can get allergy to the topical application as well. Certain medications such as aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and beta blockers can increase sensitivity to onions.

Are you Drinking water the right way? Common mistakes we commit Everyday

“Water”, an element on earth that can’t be replaced with anything else.  Water is among the 3 elements that together are considered to be the building blocks of earth. (FIRE, WATER, AIR).

In simple words “Water is life”. That is true but another truth is; we are making lots of mistakes in utilizing the benefits of water. From my early childhood days, I remember how my grandparents used to drink water from handmade containers known as “mud pot“. They are made from mud and then heated to give perfect shape.  They used to value water very much not because they used to live in Rajasthan, but because they knew the value of drinking water and the value of not having water at all.

Water is something that every living being drinks and uses daily. But many of us don’t know that this colourless and odourless liquid is having many health benefits that are worth knowing.

It is always suggested not to drink water like gulping it but to sip it (according to Ayurveda), and not all at one go.

There are many reasons why we are saying that, and we will put forward all the reasons so that you can realize the mistakes you are making while drinking and can correct the same.

Get the Saliva mix up

Our mouth produces saliva in abundance and that saliva is alkaline by nature. We have hydrochloric acid in our belly that helps in digestion of food. But this hydrochloric acid also creates a burning sensation in our belly. Our saliva stabilizes the acid when it reaches the stomach. When we are gulping in water from a plastic bottle, we are not allowing that to collect saliva from mouth. We do not hold that water to mix up with saliva and just swallow that water directly. So very little or no saliva reaches the stomach and it remains acidic for a long time.

Water if gulp can be heavy

When you have vomiting you very well can make out that gulping water makes it worse and that finally ends up with more throwing up things out of the body. Taking sips of water can help you in this. It will help you relax your stomach and give you necessary liquid to bring back the balance of your body.

Keep your Body weight in balance

Yes Sipping water helps you keep your body weight in correct balance and helps you avoid that extra belly or tummy.

You should not drink water at least half hour before a meal and half hour after a meal.

The water dilutes the digestive juices so it is always advisable to drink water at least half hour before a meal. Because of the same reason it is also suggested to drink half hour after a meal, so as to allow the body to absorb the essential nutrients.

Drink 1 Glass of water after waking up

Drinking 1 glass of water after waking up helps to remove or flush out all the toxins in your body before your first meal of the day. So it is always advisable to drink 1 glass of water after waking up. It also helps to activate your internal organs.

People have forgotten the natural way of drinking water and now drinking water is just a task that needs to be done so that you do not feel thirsty. Water has so much to offer to our body that it can actually help us stay fit without putting any extra efforts. 

The Plastic water bottles kept in your refrigerator are making you unhealthy. 

They are responsible for your bigger bellies and the cold that you get after drinking it on a hot day. Before these refrigerator came into existence people used to drink water from mud pot. Even my family uses it today. That mud pot water is never too chilled for your body so you can drink it anytime you want. Moreover that water is stored in mud containers that are very hygienic and safe. Plastic containers are made from chemicals which can Detiorate your body and add unwanted substances in your body which is harmful in long run.

Drink 8 glass of water everyday

Who has said you to drink 8 glasses of water everyday? You must have read this somewhere or in some books. This is not the correct statement because it does not hold any scientific fact or figure.

No one knows where this concept came from. The fact is your daily requirement depends on many factors like your diet, size of your body and your unique body chemistry ofcourse. You need to know the correct requirement of your body. You can find out that in our other post which tells about “facts and myths about drinking water”.

Cold Water Can be Toxic to your Digestion System

Never have cold water with your meal, since it acts as toxic to your digestion. If you are having cold-water or chilled water it gets all the bacteria which helps in digestion to become inactive. Drink lukewarm water or normal temperature water to help your body digest the food properly. Cold water is not good for your gums as well. They reduce the sensitivity of your teeth and gums if taken regularly over a long period of time.

You must have noticed this thing, that when you are drinking cold water or chilled water, you start feeling thirsty soon compared to when drinking warm water or normal temperature water. This is because warm water when touches your lips gives you feeling of satisfaction and also signals body of water intake.

The Correct/Right ways of Drinking Water:-

• Always avoid drinking water from bottle directly. Instead always prefer to use a glass to drink water. Avoid storing of water in plastic bottles. It contaminates the water.
• Never try to drink too much water at once. Filling up stomach with water alone is not good for health.
• Drink as much water as you can when you are ill. Water helps to give the toxic substances a path to get flushed out from body easily and hence helps you become well soon.
• Try to avoid drinking chilled or cold water as much as you can. It can make you ill.
• Your doctor asked you to take water with medication; then do so. Water gives your medication a push to get spread in the digestive system for rapid absorption. It also helps to dissolve the medication.

Nature has given us ample supply of water but we need to make sure that we are not disturbing the balance of nature so that the water supply is not blocked.

Water is really precious and we all should practice measures that can help us save water.Since we have limited water supply that can actually be used for drinking and other necessary tasks like bathing, washing etc, we should conserve it as much as we can.

We urge you to follow these small-small things to help us save water for our future generations and let them also see the colourful rainbow after the heavy rain.

• Do not leave your taps open. Fix the leaking taps.
• Do not use shower for taking bath, this way we are using more water than 1 single bucket.
• Do not wash your car with a running pipe. Instead use a bucket of water and a cloth and put some manual effort.
• Do rain water harvesting if possible.

These small-small practices can make a big difference in our life. Our children follow what they see, so let us teach them something good and healthy.

Now we transfer the control to you. Speak up your mind and tell us what you think about this and what are your views and opinions regarding the same subject. You can share it below in the comment section. We would be happy to help you if you have any queries or doubts that are disturbing your health.

Unbelievable Health Benefits of Sex that you might not Know!!

Sex – the three letter erotic word, often considered as an act of joy and pleasure is never seen as an activity that could be beneficial to health. Some even think of it as an unhealthy practice, but they do this because of their sexual desires which they can’t control even for the sake of health. So, I am bringing a good news for all of you and specially for that category of people who thinks doing sex is unhealthy. There are studies and sexologists who have proved that this activity of making love can even make you healthier and could be even more beneficial than your daily workout. Starting from your cardiovascular health, to the overall immunity, everything is impacted by sex. Not only you enjoy having sex, but also your bodies enjoy this as much as you do.  And let me make it very much clear that these benefits are not only for one race (male or female), but these are for both males as well as females because the outlook of males and females may be different but our internal body parts, their functionality and the way our bodies respond to sex is more or less the same.

Now you will have reasons to ask your partner for sex. Yes, the health benefits that you can reap out of it. The following are the major health benefits that science has proven and have been tested:

1. Helps lose weight:

You might be aware of this, or might have encountered any such statement before also, but now it is tested and proven by science also. Scientifically, it can be counted as an exercise or a form of workout (precisely the best form of workout). One can easily burn 80-250 calories in one session depending upon the intensity, longevity and movements involved. A quick and just for pleasure session may burn just 80 calories, but just think if you do it on regular basis, burning 80 calories a day can easily make you lose a pound or two per month without any extra efforts. Studies have even stated that sex could be considered over treadmill as the benefits you can get from sex are better than the treadmill. While sex, your butt, muscles in your back, abs and thighs get a good workout when compared to treadmill. So, it sounds like you can skip your morning walk a few days a week and can sweat in your beds.

2. Maintains Cardiovascular Health:

This might come as a surprise to you that sex could even take care of your cardiovascular problems. Where most of the people have this fear in mind that the exertion done during sex may lead to a stroke, then let me make  one thing very much clear to you that you are not aware that having a healthy, tension free and pleasurable sex could keep the problem of strokes forever at bay from you. Studies have proven that the more orgasms you will have, the lesser would become the chances of you getting a stroke or a heart attack. By now, you all know that sex helps burn calories, involves movement of body and sweating, all this is somewhat similar to the treadmill run, just the difference is sex is done on bed. And having sex could be equal to running 2-5 miles, which means better pumping of heart and clearing of arteries, lower stress and better heart health.

3. Boosts Immunity:

Having sex doesn’t provide your body with vitamins, minerals or nutrients but it does something that makes the process of utilization of the nutrients available in our body a bit better. The number of antibodies or white blood cells that helps fight the foreign bodies like germs, viruses or any other form of intruder which may lead to creation of disease or any disorder in body increases specially immunoglobulin A (one of the most effective antibody) as the quantity of sex increases. The more the number of antibodies means the lesser are the chances of getting infection or falling ill. Studies have shown that if you have sex more than twice a week, then you will fall less prone to diseases like cold, cough and flu. So, a healthy sex life can give you a healthier physical life as well.

4. Glowing Skin:

Yes, another great reason to enjoy sex, you can get a glowing, disease free, nourished and healthier skin by just having sex. You might have observed it on your own (if you are sexually active) that every time you have had sex, you get a better glow on skin the next day. Actually what happens is sex promotes the release of testosterone and estrogen hormones, which are responsible to keep the skin nourished and helps the growth of new cells replacing the dead ones thus body look young and also promote soft skin and shiny hair. Studies were conducted where it was found that the women who have had sex thrice or more per week were found to look seven to twelve years younger than their real age. Thus, have sex, stay young. Not just this, they were also found to have skin free from all types of skin ailments like acne, marks and other skin problems.

5. Fights Insomnia:

Yet another benefit that is much required these days, because more than 50% of earth’s population is known to suffer from insomnia. Insomnia, the inability to get sleep occurs when our brain stops producing or produces very less quantity of sleep promoting hormone called melatonin which may be because of over stress or tensions. But, sex can be more beneficial here than sleeping pills. It has been found that endorphins and oxytocin hormones are released during sex which are known to calm down the body, de-stress and relax the mind so that there are no signs of anxiety and tension. In such scenario the brain starts functioning normal and produces the much required melatonin in the required quantity and promotes sleep. Not just this, a hormone called prolactin is also released while you get orgasm during sex. And this hormone is found usually when humans sleep, thus it promotes a sound sleep.

6. Bladder Control:

This may sound strange that sex could improve your bladder control, but this has been proved. A number of studies were conducted and results were same in all cases that the people who have had sex quite often, like thrice or more times per week, they had a better control on their bladder. If you have ever been to doctor for this problem, then you must be aware of the Kegel exercise that is recommended for the incontinence by doctors. It is nothing but just contraction and expansion of pelvic floor muscles. The same exercise is carried out during sex; whenever you have sex, followed by orgasm, it helps in strengthening of those muscles by contracting and expanding over and time again.

7. Reduces Pain:

Whether it’s a headache, backache, arthritis pain or body ache or any other, and whatever may be the intensity of pain, sex can help you provide relief over all of them. So, before you next time search for a pain reliever, I would suggest you to instead search for your partner. A number of studies have suggested that sex can help you in the times of pain. Every study has come up with different ways sex helps, but outcome is same of all of them. Some has found that whenever you have orgasm, your body releases a hormone that pulls up the threshold where you would start feeling pain, hence provides relief. While many suggest that endorphin hormones released during sex are just like morphine – a class of hormones that is known to relieve pain. And other studies have even suggested that you even need not worry even if you don’t have your partner around, you can have an orgasm by masturbating and the pain reliever process will follow as it does in case of sex. There is an exclusive good news for women also that sex can help you get relief from menstrual pain also, as it strengthens your vaginal muscles also.

I hope you were not aware of all these hidden benefits of sex before and have gained the much required knowledge that would help you in daily life. It is quite simple, when our body gets what it desires the most, then it will automatically have a positive impact on our body. And as you have seen mostly the benefits are because of hormonal changes and release thus you can’t expect everyone to have knowledge of this.

Before winding up I would like you to say that no matter what always make sure that you have a safe sex. Weather you know about your partner’s HIV status or not, always use a condom. This is considered as the best practice to keep sex safe and enjoyable.

So next time go to bed, have an extra reason to enjoy. Reap the benefits and let your loved ones also know about this. Keep sharing and keep posting you queries if any, I would love to help you.
