VLC REMOTE

Best Entertainment APP of the week !

Hey guys, welcome back to AxleTech, this week i've been wandering in search of all the possible apps to showcase and finally i've made it up to a decision. I've spotted a great cool app, VLC remote for iOS and also for Android. So basically  what this app does is letting you control your vlc media player on your laptop using your iPhone or Android phone. Yay ! 
There's more, not only does it gave you the power to control your vlc but it is also a file manager which let you browse the files on your computer.
Interested ? well first of all, go to iTunes and search for "vlc remote" download and then go to the developper site here to download the vlc helper. Once downloaded, run the vlc helper on your laptop then click on "Setup VLC" if your vlc was running it will close it.

okay, just keep your vlc helper running because you are going to need it after.
So now we have to make your iDevice or Android communicate with your pc, well you have to create a new ad hoc wireless connection. Give it any name you want, don't input no password, check "No authentication open"

Okay, now that we set up your pc to be running as a personal router or hotspot, just connect to the new connection. Then on your iDevice and android go to WiFi settings and connect also.
Now run VlC remote on your Device and click on scan.

You have to have VLC helper still running on your pc so it can reveal the computer. If you don't see your computer, then it may be your firewall or your anti-virus firewall. For you safety disconect from internet as you may not need it, then try disable your antivirus firewall, on my pc I have eset nod32 smart security antivirus. After you have disable your antivirus, the vlc remote should now be able to spot your computer.

then click on scan again on your vlc remote (Remember to have VLC playing on your pc, a music or a movie) then you should see something like this on your iPhone, iPod,iPad and Android. 
click on "add computer" then click on "choose from list" and "save". 

click on your pc name with the little vlc icon next to it then finally you should arrive here.

ENJOY !!! if you still having problem setting up your VLC remote you contact me by leaving a comment and i'll do my best to help you. 
Or you can go to the developper website @ hobbyistsoftware.com/vlc

Speed up iPhone 3g

SPEED UP iPHONE 3G

Oh snap ! I miss it! hmmm... looks like your iRobot could use some speed.

 It's great to own a iPhone, doesn't matter if you have a old 2g or a 3g, you will all arrive at the line where you find your device...well... going slowpoke on you ! It's no surprise since knowing the tons of apps, tweeks and musics and videos not to mention all the apps running in background and also due to the fact that iOS 4 was designed for more powerful devices like the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 . You need it and it's a must, we have to boost that baby, well how do we do that ?

 I got this, leave this to me :-)

 this tutorial is for iPhone 3g owner running iOS 4
Solution 1: Do a Hard Reset

Step 1: Press and hold the Lock button and the Home button together till the iPhone shutdown;

Step 2: Wait some seconds (15 + -) and then turn it on again. 

Note: Do it twice, or even more.

Solution 2: Go to "Settings > General > Reset", choose "Reset All Settings".

Solution 3: Disabled Multitasking and Wallpaper.

Solution 4: Delete few unnecessary launch daemons { hint: Google }, then feel the difference. It is really helpful.

Solution 2:

iPhone hacker Comex tweeted a link to a MMI article showing how you can easily make your iPhone 3G on iOS 4 faster. Apparently, turning off Spotlight Search does the trick.

To do so, go to Settings > General >Home Button > Spotlight Search, then turn off everything and reboot your iPhone.

I don’t have an iPhone 3G so I wasn’t able to verify this but looking at all the positive comments over at MMI, I assume this is working like a charm.

Please try it and let me know how it goes for you.

Troubleshooting your device, easy way!

Troubleshooting your iOS device! PART 1

Hi there everyone and welcome to Axle Tech, a friendly blog that explains binary language in "plain" English!
K, let's start those iDevice because today I will share with you the secrets of handling your iPhone,iPod or iPad. Before we get to the hard stuff lets start with the basics, let's get to know our device, shall we ?

1- iPhone,iPod, iPad freeze !
Okay, people what do you do when your device freezes ? Some of the way to get it out of freeze stat is to let the device drains out of it's juice then charge it.
--> solution to this problem is simple, just hold the power and home button together and it will black out then lights up! Release when you see the apple logo.

2- iDevice overheating ! (older devices)
Okay ladies and gents sorry to ruin your day at the beach but you should consider the temperature there and also verify if the device is getting hot, overheating device can result of hardware problems and also of shortening the battery life of the device, eventually when overheating it will discharge much faster.
--> solution to this is to take out the case if it have and take it to a cooler place, do not splash in water or put it in the freezer, water and circuit boards are not friends. If the problem persists, try shutting it down for a while and wait until it cools off!

3- Device is running slow
Sometimes your device could be a real turtle at some point, apps may be loading much longer than usual.
-->solution
apparently that's a sign that your device is running out of memory. You better try to free memory by killing (closing) apps that you are not using. How to do that ?
Press the home button twice, you will see the multitasking menu showing all the running apps.

Then tap and hold the app icon you want to close and you'll see soothing like this

Tap on the red bubble to close and Voilà you have free some memory.

That's it for today!
Be sure to look out for the second part of this post where I will post advanced troubleshooting which involves in stuff like errors 16xx 17xx during restore and much much more, STAY TUNED !

let's talk about jailbreaking !!!

Okay Ladies and Gentleman, I know how good it is to have the latest and most advanced iDevice !!! During the presentation of the iPhone 5, many issues have been brought, thought and we have seen changes ! Now the iPhone got bigger screen which I think was far too long since many Droids out there have been competing for bigger and best "vivid" images. The iPhone 5 runs on a powerful A6 processor, faster than the iPhone 4s, way faster than the 3gs and extremely (10x) faster than the 2g ( sorry 2g users). Facetime still the same, Siri got more mature, maps app sucked but is getting better but..................... BUT.......... None of these above are really on the highest on the priority list.
Okay, Apple once a again made a great phone and everything, faster, much more gaming, ultra fast camera, BIG screen but I know what's on your mind :) 
Every iOS 6 powered users have been awaiting for a "jailbreak". Yup! life is better if jailbroken.
As always, I'm going to keep it plain and simple for all you guys here. First of all, for all you newbies, the word "jailbreak" means to have root privileges on your iPhone, jailbreak for Android users is equal to "rooting" so why would you want to go to all the trouble or having root privileges on your iDevice ?
Simple ! you can download apps banned from the App Store, get tweaks, wallpapers and much much more.
K, that was it for the little lesson, now to the interesting stuff, How to jailbreak iOS 6 ? What is the most secure way ? Will it be a tethered or untethered jailbreak ?


Steps and Instructions to Jailbreak iOS 6
These are the steps and instructions and by performing these you will be able to jailbreak your device very easily.

• First of all connect your device to your computer or laptop.

• After that open the jailbreak tool, once you are done then you will need to select your device from that.

• Now select the firmware version and click on the DFU mode.

• *If you don't have the firmware yet please  download iOS 6 firmware via iTunes, by connecting your device and click on the device then "check for updates", you will see a popup saying there's a update for your device, select "download only", DO NOT UPDATE, you will see the download progress under Store in iTunes after it finish, locate the download file to load on the Jailbreak tool

• It will take sometime to get into DFU mode.

If you don’t know about what is the major difference between tethered jailbreak & untethered jailbreak then by continuing reading you will be get better idea that which one is better. On the tethered jailbreak, if your device get turned off then you will have to boot your device from start which is quite tough job. But on the other hand, on the untethered jailbreak device if your device gets turned off or reboot then you will not have to boot it. It will work like normal device that you have got but you will be able to perform all the hacks that jailbreak device can do.
Apple lately releasing some new info about their new Smartphone and it’s creating some sort of mystery. We saw on some websites that Apple released the new smartphone picture and most of the people were saying that it is iPhone 6 and some were saying it is iPhone 5S. But one of the most important thing is that there is iOS 7 playing around on those devices which we are not able to guarantee that is that true or not. This is what we have just seen. Apple currently running iOS 6.0.1 beta 4 for the developers and it seems like iOS 6.1 will be coming in upcoming days.
