Create WiFi hotspot in Windows 7 and share Internet With Android

Everyone has a modem with high speed but we also want high speed Internet in  our Android .

So here I explain you how can you share your PC Data with your Android .

Sharing your Windows internet connection via software has some security issuses.There are programs that can help you do it, but they're often awkward to set up, and prone to complicated security and reliability issues, so i recommend  you don't try any software for creating virtual hotspot in PC.

How to share your Android net connection with your PC

But that could all be about to change, thanks to a new Windows 7 feature called Virtual Wi-Fi.

The idea is a simple one: the operating system can virtualise any compatible wireless adapter, to make it appear as though you've as many additional adapters as you need.

The effect is dramatic. Once it's set up, then any Wi-Fi compatible device that can connect to you - another desktop, laptop, Phone,or an iPod Touch, say - will immediately be able to get online, by sharing your internet connection through a duplicate of your wireless adapter.

Getting this working isn't too difficult, either, as long as you can get over the first hurdle: finding a virtual Wi-Fi-compatible driver for your wireless adapter.

Steps are below:

1. First thing you check is your wireless adapter is supporting hostednetwork or not.

 Open CMD  and type the following Command 

netsh wlan show drivers

if you see yes then forward to next steps.

2. If you're in luck and manage to find and install an up-to-date Windows 7 driver for your adapter, then the next step is to set it up, and for that you'll need an elevated command prompt. Click Start, type CMD, right-click the Cmd.exe link and select "Run as Administrator".

Now type the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=prophethacker key=prophethacker

and press [Enter]. Replace "prophethacker" with the name you'd like to use for your custom network, and "prophethacker" with a password that's a little harder to guess.

3. Still at the command line, type

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

and press [Enter] to fire up the virtual adapter.

4. Now click Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings, right-click your internet connection that you wanna share it and select Properties. Click the Sharing tab, check "Allow other network users to connect...", choose your virtual Wi-Fi adaptor - and that's it. 

Any nearby Wi-Fi enabled device should see a new network appear with the SSID you defined above. They'll be able to connect to it using your password, and can then immediately share your internet connection.

What is QRCode: How you Generate and Read QRCode in Android

We see the QRCode in all places but we dont' know how this shit work and why we use them .

We all know that we live in a world of technology so all the all the thing is bit quiter and smarter. QRCode is a very smart and tech way of our modern world.

QRCode is like a shortner of data.

Have you heard of QR codes yet? Here is a quick introduction:

What Are QR codes?

                                       This is QRCode of my Blog link

They look like this:QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte / binary, andkanji) to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used.

The QR Code system has become popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, general marketing, and much more.

A QR code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device (such as a camera) and processed using Reed�Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted; data is then extracted from patterns present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.

Mobile Phone Operating System

QR codes can be used in Google's Android, BlackBerry OS, Nokia Symbian Belle and Apple iOS devices (iPhone/iPod/iPad), as well as Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, Google Goggles, 3rd party barcode scanners, and the Nintendo 3DS. The browser supports URL redirection, which allows QR codes to send metadatato existing applications on the device. mbarcode is a QR code reader for the Maemo operating system. In Apple's iOS, a QR code reader is not natively included, but more than fifty paid and free apps are available with both the ability to scan the codes and hard-link to an external URL. Google Goggles is an example of one of many applications that can scan and hard-link URLs for iOS and Android. BlackBerry 10 devices have a native QR reader as well as several third party readers. Windows Phone 7.5 is able to scan QR codes through the Bing search app.

How does the cell phone read the code?

The cell phone needs a QR code reader, like this one from QRDroid It takes literally 1 minute for someone with an iPhone or Android phone to find and install the reader.

QR Droid�

Change your smartphone into a powerful QR Code, Barcode, and Data Matrix scanning utility. Import, create, use, and share data in a matter of taps.

This intuitive, full-featured and multi-language QR utility will change the way you interact with QR Codes and their smart actions and activities.

How do you generate a code?

You can easily generate a QR code using a site like QRStuff or Zxing you can use the Open Source code to generate codes for you if you have a smart developer on hand. 

All type of Android Hacks and Development with Android Device Manager

Android is an amazing and fun platform to work on. Anyone can come up with their own unique idea, create a good product and make it available to thousands and thousands of customers.

Android Development is very easy as operating a computer system .Android developments are not seeing a break anytime soon. If you have a little knowledge about ADB & Fastboot, you may tweak your Android device up to the maximum extent by flashing recoveries, pushing in different commands to perform tasks in the Android ADB & Fastboot command window using your PC. It�s always been a big problem with newbies when they are unable to perform different commands and end up getting failed while they are trying to tweak their Android device. Most of the devices like HTC�s devices, Google Nexus devices, Sony�s Xperia devices and other similar ones need to be treated through ADB & Fastboot at times. 

 There is no need to type the commands again and again and then face different errors. The tool is named as Android Device Manager, that means this tool can manage your device, let you do whatever you want or whatever you could do using the ADB terminal. Moreover, you no longer need to install ADB & Fastboot setup using Android SDK tools and others. Android Device Manager comes pre-loaded with ADB drivers, this small sized tool has almost minimized all the worries and all the hardwork and complexity.

Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel.

The interface is way too user-friendly. Developer  has divided all the commands into different segments. You just got to enable USB debugging mode on your device, connect it, select your tab [the task you want to perform] and wait for the tool to do the job for you. You could never imagine this tough thing getting teared down to such easy method right? Well, that�s what I thought at first and later had to admit the tool�s ease.

How this tool works:

1. Enable USB debugging on your Android device. Get it in Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging > Check it.                                                 

2. In case you�re unable to find it because you�re running your device on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, you will have to first enable Developer Options. To do so, go to settings > about device > tap build number or 7 times. You will see the developer options in settings now, you can enable USB debugging.                                                                                                                                                                                         Related Articles

3. Use OEM data cable to establish connection between your PC and phone, also make sure that your laptop has enough battery charged and your phone is charged enough to perform your desired operations as well. If you�re using a desktop PC, make sure that you�ve proper power supply. 

4.Connect your device to your PC now and allow USB debugging once prompted after connecting it.

5.Open ADM and perform the tasks you want. You may find your desired .img files or desired apks to flash using this tool.
