Extend your smartphone's battery life Use auto-brightness for the screen A smartphone’s screen consumes more energy than any other component, so the easiest way to cut down battery drain is to reduce your screen brightness. In an hourlong test, an iPhone 6S used 54% less battery power with the screen brightness at minimum as compared with maximum brightness. An Android test phone used 30% less. But it’s tough to use a dim screen in bright environments, so most phones offer an auto-brightness mode that automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness based on ambient light. The Wirecutter found that enabling auto-brightness saved a good amount of battery life.

Use WhatsApp on Android? Your chats are not so secure If you use WhatsApp on an Android phone, you should be careful about what you talk about or share on the instant messaging app. NEW DELHI: If you use WhatsApp on an Android phone, you should be careful about what you talk about or share on the instant messaging app. Using a few scripts and a rogue app, anyone can peer into your chat logs and see what you talk about with your friends. A Dutch security consultant has found that WhatsApp chat logs saved on the SD card of an Android phone can be read by other apps because of the way Android allows sharing of data between apps. "The WhatsApp database is saved on the SD card which can be read by any Android application if the user allows it to access the SD card.

Annual "Worst Passwords" revealed - the winner is 123456 Software firm SplashData has released the 2013 edition of its annual "Worst Passwords" list, and for the first time, "password" has been displaced from the top spot. The dubious distinction now goes to "123456", which had been in second place for the past two years. After a year of high-profile security breaches, including a massive leak of Adobe user account details, it is evident that a huge number of users continue to put themselves at risk online by choosing easy-to-remember but highly unsecure passwords. SplashData's list was compiled after combing through millions of passwords leaked or posted online following security breaches in 2013. Many of the top 25 weak passwords are as short as four characters, use simple sequences of only numbers or characters, or are simply the names of the websites or services that the user has signed up for.
