How to know the smartphone is Infected?

A flaw in the security of WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, has allowed hackers to install spyware on phones. This was announced by the company, which also owns Facebook. 

The vulnerability - reported for the first time by the Financial Times and born following the latest update of WhatsApp - has allowed hackers to insert malicious software on mobile phones through telephone calls on the app that is used by over one and a half billion people in all the world.

" WhatsApp encourages people to update the latest version of our app, as well as keep the operating system up-to-date, to protect themselves from potential attacks that aim to compromise information stored on mobile devices, " a spokesman told AFP in a statement. The company did not disclose the number of interested users but stated that it had reported the matter to the US authorities.

What are the Differences between Smart TV integrated and Smart TV Android ?

What are the Differences between Smart TV integrated and Smart TV Android?

Today I will talk about the differences between Smart TV and Android Smart TV.

Smart TVs or smart TVs usually have different operating systems, some of which are their own, although there are also TVs that use Android.

If you want to choose the best Smart TV, the operating system is one of the things you have to keep in mind.

But also, we have the external players or TV box that also usually have Android as an operating system.

I hope it helps you see the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Personally, I am more supporter of Android.

Applications

This is one of the biggest advantages of the Android operating system. The large number of applications you have thanked the Google Play store. Any Android Smart TV has many more applications than a TV can bring.

But not only that but also do not stop going out, updated, given a large number of developers.

Keep in mind that Android is and will be present in many devices. So any news, we will have it safe for our small device.

Updates

Android is a system constantly updated. This means that when we buy our Smart TV, we can have some software update available.

It is a somewhat tricky topic, given that some manufacturers put their Android device on the market and do not update it, but they have their explanation.

It turns out that with Android Smart TV, it happens the same as with smartphones and tablets, which usually or not receive updates.

And this is because the devices are manufactured with technical features such as processor, RAM, etc., prepared for the version of the operating the operating system.

If there was an upgrade to a higher version that needed more RAM or more processing power, our device might not work properly.

Of course, this has nothing to do with applications, of which we will receive constant updates.

Company

Android is Google and Google is Android. This means that we have behind us one of the largest companies in the world, with all the advantages that entails.

I am not against any other device that does not have Android. But if it's true, Google will not let millions and millions of users down.

Economic

As in everything in life, there is a variety of prices for everyone.

Forgiving an average price, any external Android device or TV box with acceptable characteristics, is around less than 100 Euros.

For that small price, we can provide many capabilities to any television.

Compatibility

It does not matter if you have the latest LED TV with 3D and 1600 Hertz, as if you have a TV that occupies the bottom of the furniture 15 years ago.

Any TV Box device can be connected and used in (I will say almost not to say all) almost all TVs worldwide.

If you have an old one, we will use the RCA connections. If you have a modern one, connect it via HDMI and enjoy high definition.

Which one do you prefer?

Luckily, the best-known brands such as Samsung or LG have a quality Smart TV and we will access many applications.

But in case we want to have something else or adapt to our old TVs, we can always opt for an Android Smart TV.

I hope you like it and if you have any questions, I'll wait for you in the comments.

What to do when an application of your Smart TV does not work?

What to do when an application of your Smart TV does not work?

Has it ever happened to you that you tried to open an application of your Smart and it does not work ?

Well today I want to give you several tips to solve this problem.

Why do not Smart TV applications work?

This type of problem usually happens for several reasons.

Sometimes it is simply an Internet connection, sometimes it is failures of the same application or even it is just a temporary failure.

The worst is when that failure has no remedy as I will explain.

Which applications usually give more problems?

To me personally I have usually failed applications like Youtube , that does not open or if it opens, you can only see the Youtube logo.

Other times Netflix, which remains the black screen or shows a message "Can not play the title. Try again later » .

Spain has also given many problems such as Movistar or some local applications like Atresplayer, which either does not open or works very slowly.

How to solve problems with applications?

I'll give you a series of tips that will help you with these applications that do not work properly.

Check the Internet connection
Most of the time it can be a simple problem of the Internet connection .

First of all, I recommend checking if you have a connection to other devices.

If so, the first step is to check if your Smart is connected to the Internet .

Update the application

Sometimes the problem is temporary and the creators of the applications usually update them every so often to avoid these problems.

Go to applications, search and see if you have an update pending.

Restart your Smart TV

Sometimes what happens is that the application simply gets stuck, which causes your Smart TV to crash .

A Smart TV does not stop being a computer, like your mobile or tablet.

Just turn it off, turn on and try the app again.

Disconnect from the current

This failure is very common in the Netflix application.

You need to completely disconnect the Smart TV from the current, bone the cable, and press the power button of the remote pointing at the TV.

This serves to discharge static electricity, which is usually responsible for this type of failure.

Restore factory Smart TV

If none of the above works, what we can do is restore the factory Smart TV .

Remember that everything you have configured will be lost.

Talk to technical support

If after all it still does not work, the ideal thing is that you talk to the technical service.

This can pass a new firmware version and you can update the Smart TV.

Other times it is easier and you can pass a more updated version of the application.

Although I already tell you that this second one is more difficult.

Be patient and change the brand

I have to be honest.

There are brands that do not care and do not update the apps or creators of apps that stop supporting certain brands.

My recommendation is that you always buy a TV from a well-known and big brand so that these things do not happen to you.

But I already tell you in advance, that this happens to almost everyone.

That's is it
I hope that with these tips you have been able to solve your problem with the application that does not work.

Be patient and follow the advice I have given you.

And if you have problems with other applications of which I do not speak here or something that is different.

Leave a comment to see if I can help you.

How to clean the LED screen of your Smart TV?

How to clean the LED screen of your Smart TV?

One of the questions that many people have asked me is how to clean the LED screen of a Smart TV, so I'm going to get you out of doubt.

The first thing that I am going to recommend is that you read that book that you always throw away when you buy something. Yes, the one in the instructions. There are always going to come very good tips on how to use that item you bought.

But if it's already late and the book has passed through the truck that passes at dawn, we'll see how to clean a screen.

It is not difficult at all.

But there are times that what is stuck on Smart TV is not dust, but the hands of those who usually dirty them more, which are children.

The same thing you find that the children have given to touch it after having eaten something with worms, chocolate spots and all that you and I know.

Products and material

In the market, they sell many special liquids to clean the screens that will also serve to clean the screen of the laptop, the tablet, smartphone, etc. Both liquid and cloth come in the same package.

I always recommend buying one of those products because in addition to remove all the debris, it makes the screen clean and without stains because they carry liquids that evaporate quickly and do not spoil it.

But if we do not have any nearby, we can always get a hand on a simple liquid to clean crystals as long as it is not abrasive and is not abused.

The issue comes as you clean it.

Also, I recommend having a good microfiber cloth that will not leave a speck of dirt or dust.

How to clean your Smart TV

I'm going to give you 2 very simple tips and one is to be careful how you pour the liquid. Although many come prepared in the form of sprays, I recommend not to throw directly at the screen, but the rag you use.

This is so because if you go with the liquid you can go down and if the screen is not completely sealed, go inside.

The other advice is that you always do it with the screen off because it will hold the liquid longer while you clean.

And also, with the screen in black and looking against the light, you can see the spots of dust as well as others.

And as the last tip, I'll tell you that no matter how much you clean, after a while, you'll see specks of dust because black is what you have.
