Get paid apps for free in iOS 10 without Jailbreak via vShare

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year to all of my readers and friends out there, yeah, I know I haven’t been very punctual for a while now, but to compensate for that, here’s a belated Christmas present, in form of free apps.

Today, we will get some paid apps for free in any iOS device without jailbreaking it with the help of this app called vShare and a Windows PC/Laptop.

Happy Christmas

Why a post on Downloading Paid Apps for free?

TechGlobule by no means is supporting or will ever support Piracy. We are with all our might against Piracy.

And the only reason we are showcasing apps like these is because they provide a way for users who are willing to pay for an app or game, but want to try it out beforehand, and before paying their hard-earned money. Many of the times if not all, after buying an app, it seems unworthy of the money spent.

How does it work?

vShare acts as an alternative to App Store, featuring all the apps on the original App Store and more. It (mis)uses the Developer certificates issued by Apple.
Apple issues Developer certificates to companies which want all of their employees to have a specific app. vShare uses this certificate and pretend that all its users are its employees. So you see, the apps you’ll install are genuine.
The only difference is that all the apps are free.

Extra Benefits

  • You can install apps which are not compatible to your device.
    I played Assassin Creeds Infinity on an iPad 2, not iPad Air 2, just iPad 2.
  • You can install apps not available in your country’s app store.
  • You can install apps which are no longer supported by the App Store, or discontinued.
    I played FIFA 14 as well, because it played more smoothly on an old iPad 2.
  • You can install apps like Movie Box or other jailbroken Cydia Apps.
    Ooh yes!! 😉

Will it support my device?

Yes, the app supports all iPhones, iPads etc. whether jail-broken or not. I have not tested it on an iPod yet.

The app worked absolutely fine on my iPad 2 (iOS 9.2.1). I haven’t tested in any other device.

Its website vshare.com says that it will work on any iOS from iOS 7.x.x to iOS 10.x.x. Tell us in the comments, how it worked out for you.

How to get it?

You can just follow the screenshots steps, down below, or you can read the steps, 🙂

  1. Open a Windows PC/Laptop, go to vShare.com and download vShare for PC using the Download button.
  2. Once downloaded, open the file to install it.

  10. Click on Install vShare.
  11. You will find vShare install in your iOS Device in a couple of moments.

Automatic Timed Shutdown with Command Prompt (CMD)

Hi Guys,

It happens a lot, that we need someone else’ assistance to shut down our computers, in case we have to leave urgently, but we won’t need that assistance anymore.

Why can I need Automatic Shutdown for?

There can be infinitely many scenarios where you might need to shut down your computer after a certain period of time, for example –

  • While waiting for a download to complete.
  • While waiting for a long antivirus scan.
  • While waiting for any thing which is gonna take a predictable amount of time.
  • Or maybe playing a cruel prank on a friend ??

For any such event, we can just set the timer 10-15 minutes more than their estimated time of completion and just go on with your other work.

What is Command Prompt aka CMD?

A command prompt is an entry point for typing commands to the computer. By typing commands at the command prompt, you can perform tasks on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.

You can do almost all the things with CMD, which you can do with the Operating System, sometimes even more.

How to trigger an automatic shutdown?

Follow these steps –

  • Press Windows button + R, to get to Run.
  • The commands can be directly entered here.
  • The command to shut down is shutdown -s
  • This command will shutdown your computer in 1 minute. You will get this message.
     

How to set a time period and other functionalities?

Command to automatic shutdown –

shutdown -s

Command to cancel shutdown –

shutdown -a

Command to schedule shutdown after 5 min (300 seconds) –

shutdown -s -t 300
One can set any amount of time in seconds format, like for 10 minutes, command will be shutdown -s -t 600

Command to add a custom message “LOL :)” with shutdown –

shutdown -s -c “LOL :)”
One can set any custom message, like “Revenged”, command will be shutdown -s -c “Revenged”

Command to restart computer –

shutdown -r

Note –

One can use several of these commands in a single command. For example, commands like the one below will work.

shutdown -r -t 3600 -c “I took my revenge.”

That’s all folks.

Share files from Android to iOS to Windows: SHAREit

Hi Guys,

Today, we are going to discuss about an easy & wireless way to share files among smartphones, tablets and personal computers running different operating systems, through an app initially made by Lenovo known as SHAREit.

What is SHAREit?

SHAREit is the fastest file transferring cross-platform application from Lenovo Pvt. Ltd. that allows you to share photos, music, videos, apps (only in Android) or virtually any file regardless of size and type without the use of internet or wires. Lenovo’s SHAREit wirelessly transfers files & data rapidly between devices – either with friends, or to take your personal content on the go.

Features –

  • It is about 40x faster than Bluetooth.
  • Eliminates the use of Cables, or BlueTooth.
  • There are virtually no limits on the size or type of the file to be shared.
  • Can share any kind of file, from pictures to apps in any format.
  • Did I mention it is free?
  • It is cross-platform & lets you share files between iOS, Android, or Windows Devices, which are the most commonly used operating systems out there.

How does it work?

SHAREit uses the WiFi Direct sharing technology, whereas other apps (mostly) use BlueTooth or conventional Wifi network (or sometimes Internet) which is present nearby.

What is WiFi Direct?

Remember the way you shared your internet data through a personal hotspot, in which your device created a WiFi hotspot and let you share your cellular data (2G, 3G or 4G internet) in the form of WiFi to nearby devices.

Now, WiFi Direct is a technology which allows your device to create such a WiFi hotspot but without the use of the internet, intended with a purpose of sharing files over the network. Thus, you can easily connect with each other without requiring any cables, or the internet; and share files with typical WiFi speeds.

My device doesn’t support WiFi Direct. But still, transfers are Fast. How?

It lets you share files with typical WiFi speeds which can be 20MB/s or even higher in some cases.

For devices, without WiFi Direct, it simply Turns on the Personal Hotspot and does its magic in sharing files hyperfast.

App Requirements

This app requires only about 12.1MB (on average) for storage purpose. It is currently available for Android smartphones, iOS Devices, Windows Phone, and blackberry phones. It also supports Windows Desktop currently and is planning to extend its functioning to the Mac OS.

Supported devices with download link

  • Android Compatibility

It will work with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and above.
It needs around 6.5MB of storage space.
Download from this Play Store link.

  • iOS Compatibility

It will work with iOS 8 or more.
It needs around 29.6MB of space.
Download from this link of App Store for iPhones and iPads.

  • Windows Compatibility

Download from this link of Windows Store for Windows Mobile.
OR from this link of uSHAREit.com for Windows Desktop.

  • Mac Compatibility

It needs around 4.6MB of space.
Download from this link of uSHAREit.com for Mac OS.

How to use?

  • Download and install SHAREit on your devices from the links given above.
  • Once installed, give a specific name to your device.
  • You will get the option to either send or receive.
  • Tap on Send on the device from which you want to share photos, videos, music, contacts, or even apps (only for Android users).
  • Select all the files that you want to share and tap the OK button.
  • Tap on Receive on the second device.
  • For Android: You will see the second device on the first device’s screen Select that.
    For Others: You’ll get on-screen instructions, commonly to connect both devices to the same network.
  • Data transfer will start.

Telegram Messenger: What is it?

Hi Guys,

Today we are discussing about the Telegram Messenger, an instant message carrier brought to you by Pavel Durov, who also brought VK.

What is Telegram?

Telegram is an instant messaging system mainly focussed on privacy and multi-platform availability. Telegram clients exist for both mobile (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) and desktop systems (Windows, OS X, Linux).

Telegram is run by a German nonprofit organization backed by entrepreneur and philanthropist Pavel Durov. Its client code is open-source software, while its server-side code is currently proprietary.

In short, Telegram is super fast, simple and way more secure than any of the messaging apps out there.

Features –

  • Connect from most remote locations with even the connections.
  • Coordinate groups of up to 20,000 members.
  • Synchronize your chats across all your devices.
  • Send documents of any type and size.
  • Encrypt personal & secret messages.
  • Destruct your messages with a timer.
  • Store your media in the cloud.
  • Build your own tools and bots on their API.

Why use Telegram when we have Whatsapp?

You might be thinking that why should one even bother about any other messaging app when one can use WhatsApp, following is the list of differences which make Telegram better than any other messaging app out there including WhatsApp.

  • It is cloud-based, which lets you access your messages from multiple devices.
  • It is open source.
  • It is secure. Not only the messages are encrypted but Telegram also offers Secret chat, in which after a set interval of time, the messages are deleted from all the devices.
  • It is distributed. Its servers are spread worldwide to enhance speed and security.
  • It enables you to share unlimited high-resolution photos, videos, and files of any type up to sizes of 1.5 GB.
  • It has Bots. For e.g. Add @ImageBot in your contacts, whenever you message it something like /get Ferrari, it would reply with an image of Ferrari. Telegram supports many different kinds of bots for different tasks. You can even make a bot for yourself if you want to.
  • It supports @replies, mentions and #hashtags. No this is nothing complex. It makes Group Chatting easier. For e.g., if I want to reply to person A in a group of 100 people. I can type @A followed by my message, and only A will be notified.
  • It is free and will stay free forever.

About the Developers

You can follow Telegram on Twitter, for ongoing news about it. Or check out its FAQ section.

Telegram is supported by Pavel and Nikolai Durov.

Pavel Durov is known as the Mark Zuckerberg of Russia because his VK userbase outnumbered Facebook users in own own country that is Russia. Pavel supports Telegram financially and ideologically, while Nikolai’s input is technological. To make Telegram possible, Nikolai developed a unique custom data protocol, which is open, secure and optimized for work with multiple data-centres. As a result, Telegram combines security, reliability and speed on any network.

Supported Platforms with Download links

Telegram is available on a number of different platforms and Operating Systems as listed below.

How to find files faster with Everything!

Hi Guys,

Today, we are going to learn about a very useful App to replace the default Windows Search, known as Everything.

What is Everything?

Everything

Everything is a freeware app made for Windows Operating System by David Carpenter. Everything is an offline search engine that locates files & folders by filename instantly. It’s kinda better and faster alternative to default Windows Search.

How does it work?

Everything Settings

Whenever a user runs Everything, it creates an index of names of every file & folder residing on the Hard Disk in a matter of seconds.

Once indexed, it continues to update its index in real-time with minimal resources, which is usually about 40 MB of RAM.

Because Everything doesn’t index file contents and relies upon NTFS Change Journal it is unable to find and index files on any File System Volume, that is it may not be able to index all types of secondary storage devices. But you can try it to index any attached memory by Tools > Options > Indexes > NTFS > Auto include new removable volumes. Get a tick in “Auto include new removable volumes” option.

How long will it take in indexing?

It usually takes less than 0.00001 seconds to index a file regardless of its size. Most PCs have no more than 0.2 million files. So even if you have a million files, it would take less than 10 seconds that too on the first run. Somehow, it keeps getting better in terms of speed with usage, Or maybe it is only me feeling it 🙂 .

How much resources will it need to function properly?

A fresh install or run of Everything will use about 6MB RAM and less than 3MB of disk space.

Sooooo even if you have a million files, it will require only about 50MB of RAM and 15MB of disk space. Though you don’t need to worry about RAM, it is not continuously using your system resources in the background, and only when you are really using it.

Will it index file changes in real-time?

Yes, it updates its index of files in real-time, your search window will reflect any such changes.

Will Everything not index changes if it isn’t running in the background?

No, it doesn’t need to be kept running in the background, Everything updates its index whenever it is run.

Is Everything free to use?

Everything is a Freeware and is absolutely free to use. You can consider donating. By the way, you can do consider donating to TechGlobule too, contact us to be a patron.

Everything vs. Windows Search

Unlike Windows Search, “Everything” initially displays every file and folder on the device, and then limits the results as we type the file name we want to search or get.

Everything is way faster and uses minimal resources as compared to Windows search.
I personally use it on my ASUS K50C Laptop with 2GB of RAM, and Everything was about 5 to 7 times faster than the traditional Windows Search.

How to get Everything?

You can download your preferred version of your choice by visiting voidtools.com.

(30 March 2018) – If not sure, you can download the as on date latest English version of Everything 1.4.1.895 for 32 bit Windows PC or Laptop by clicking here. It’s about half an MB to download.

What version of Everything should I download?

Version Description
Installer The installer version will guide the user through the installation of Everything (recommended). The installed Everything.exe is the same as the portable Everything.exe.
Portable The user must extract the Everything.exe to the desired location from the .zip file. No changes to the system are made. Most of the options in the installer version are available in the portable version too.
x86 Only x86 context menu extensions will work in Everything. It will work better with 2GB RAM and low, that is 32Bit PC devices. But it can be used with 64Bit Devices too.
x64 The x64 version requires a 64bit x64 OS. Supports databases larger than 2GB. Only x64 context menu extensions will work in Everything. The x64 version will use more memory than the x86 version. For sake of understanding, it will work better with above 2GB RAM or simply 64Bit Devices.
English (US) Only English is available for this version.
Multilingual Includes the Everything language pack for multiple language support.

That’s all folks.
