How to set individual vibrate patterns for different callers in iPhone

While setting different ringtones for different contacts allows you to easily identify them, it doesn't quite help when your phone is set to silent mode during a meeting. With the iPhone, you can also set a different vibration pattern for each contact so that with some practice you can also tell who is calling. To do this, you have to first open the Contacts app and select the respective contact you want. Select “Edit” and search “Vibrate” in the menu, which is usually set to standard.

 

In the section "Normal”, there already some typical patterns available which you can select by clicking on them. If you want to personalise it further, you can also "Create a new vibration". You can easily create the sequence by specifying a scheme by selecting any of the grey areas on the screen in the desired time sequence. The compilation begins automatically with the first tap. Subsequently you can test the vibration with the option "Repeat" and, if required, "Record” it again. If you are happy with the sequence, select “Save” and give the vibration pattern a name. After that, this pattern will be immediately available in the menu for selection.

How to solve vague BIOS messages during system start

If BIOS error messages constantly appear during startup and it seems like it doesn't have any effect on the operation of the system, it could probably be caused by the back-up battery that has run dry. Previously, this could be easily detected from the incorrect system time, but now, since this - as well as other settings - are synchronised over the Internet. It is no longer a reliable indicator.

How to solve the graphic cards problems when mounting and installation

Depending on what type of user you are, a performance graphics card is sometimes necessary, so that the latest games runs smoothly and with high quality. However, before buying, make sure to check whether your motherboard is compatible with the new card. Some high performance models actually take up the entire length of the PCIe slots even on a ATX sized motherboard. Therefore, you should make sure if it actually fits into your computer chassis. Sometimes the hard disk cages or the fan of the CPU and the cases can get in its way. These days, the connection technology will never be an issue: as the PCIe connection has been a standard that has been established for many years. However there are several different revisions. To ensure that the card performs to it fullest, you should compare the specifications of the motherboard and the graphics card before making a purchase. The installation is usually not critical. But older drivers can cause problems. So before you start working with driver removal tools, you should consider a clean reinstallation of the system. This often solves all the problems.

How to increase the battery life of a mobile

Have you ever felt that the battery of your mobile phone or camera must be constantly recharged after a short while? This is actually because the performance of the battery reduces over time. Here are some power-saving measures for you to try out, so that you can prevent it from happening. With this, even smartphones can stay powered up for awhile longer. To improve the performance of the battery slightly better on your own: just simply charge and discharge the battery in repeated successions within a short time. Be sure to always completely discharge it but simultaneously do not leave it for the whole day or else it will total discharge and that could possibly make the battery unusable permanently. This tip is particularly handy for devices, whose batteries are not compatible or have already lost massive amounts of running time due to frequent short time charging.

Useful tips for refilling toner cartridges

If you seriously want to save money by refilling your ink or toner cartridges yourself, here are a few basic rules you should follow to get yourself prepared. Make sure everything is ready before proceeding with the task, because nothing is more annoying than when you have to search for something with ink on your fingers. You will need: Disposable gloves, paper towels, window cleaner, stationery knife, disposable syringe with needles and a drip-resistance base so that the ink does not stain your table top during the process. Do not hesitate when it comes to refilling! As soon as the first light-colored stripes are seen on a print image you should get into action.

This is because empty cartridges dry up quickly, causing it to clog up very easily. As for Bubble Jet printers, the nozzles are cooled by the discharging ink. If the nozzles run dry the excessive heat can destroy them. Air also plays an important role while refilling: Of course the air must basically be cleaned out from the empty cartridge and the ink. However, do pay attention while refilling and make sure the cartridge is not filled to the brim and that there are no air bubbles in the syringe and later in the cartridge. Air bubbles can prevent the ink from discharging when it lies in front of the nozzle. Lodged air bubbles cannot be removed even if you use reduced or excessive pressure, as the air can compress and expand. Depending on the printer and cartridge model, there are additional hurdles like security chips or coding that you must deal with separately. Moreover, there can be slight variation in colors, light and abrasion resistance. So, firstly do check on the Internet to find out which refill method should be used and what are some of the things to take into account..

We are actually against the storage of refilled cartridges since these are or were opened before so they tend to dry out quickly. You can remove the rest of the ink residues on the hands by using soft soap(this can be found and purchased from a hardware store or pharmacy)

How to overcome problems of your keyboard

Every key on the standard keyboard handles over thousand of strokes - without making a mistake. Despite this fact, keyboards can start acting up but this is mainly because of external sources: Dust, crumbs, hair, cigarette ash, liquids and so on, which often falls into the spaces between the keys of the keyboard over the course of time. All these things affect the mechanics and can cause contact issues. If the keyboard is not working properly and it is not due to a drained battery and pinched or broken cable then the first you should do is shut down the computer and turnover the keyboard once and shake it vigorously so that the rough and loose particles will fall out. The next step is to clean it with a vacuum cleaner and upholstery nozzle. A possible film of dirt on the keys and frames can be removed with the normal wet wipes.
