Greatest life hacks of mobile camera?

Just assume, you are in a situation where your mobile runs out of space to capture the images and you don’t have a time to clear the space also. In that situation this trick will work.

.

.

.

Example: Let’s assume, you are asked to capture a fruit using your camera phone in a hurry mood. On an average the size the captured image will be around 2–5 MB depends on your camera quality. But your phone runs out of memory and it’s not allowing to snap even a single photo (assume you don’t have a time to clear the space). Then, using your mobile camera, point towards the fruit and take a screenshot of the mobile screen. Bloom!!!!! No doubt it’ll capture the image along with some symbols appearing on the camera screen. One thing to observe here is that, the memory of the screenshot will be small and it’ll be around 1–3 MB depends on your screen’s PPI.

In the following two images, first one was captured using camera (3.2 MB) and second is screenshot (1.1 MB).

Screenshot of mobile screen can be taken based on the device’s model.

1. Press ‘Home button’+’Volume down button’ (or)
2. Press ‘Power button’+’Volume down button’(or)
3. Long press ‘Power button’ and choose the screenshot option from available options. (or)
4. Choose ‘Screenshot’ symbol from the notification bar (or)
5. Some devices have gestures to take the screenshots.

Paytm is now a Bank!? Things to know about it.

Hi..

You may or may not have used Paytm as a wallet to make digital purchases but the fact that you will be soon using it as bank. Here is why?

Before few months Airtel started their bank... In the sense that their payment bank. You can create an account their. You may ask where are the branches located and your couldn't see any one of them.. yes my folks there are less chances. As it means that payment Banks are your airtel outlets. Not alone airtel users any one can create account in airtel payment bank account. There are some limitations, of course. We will discuss it later in this post. Keep reading.

Same thing here for Paytm too.. so needn't to explain whole lot of things. Just keep it simple. That's what I say.
You could create your bank account there.
You could not arise a quite common question. Airtel has their own outlets so they can make it as a bank. But what about Paytm?

Yes... Paytm is about to open certain locations apt for banking and may use some of the recharge shops as outlets.

Restriction of Payment bank
Payment Banks are not a usual bank or a formal bank that you visit for your banking needs.
They are totally different. There are some restrictions according to RBI.

You cannot transact or have more than 1 lakh  in your account.

You will not get credit/debit card for your payment bank.

When you are in the need of money, or take your money you are supposed to visit the outlet at the apt time to make your transaction done.

So that's it about this post. Do comment your thoughts in the comments.. Follow my blog.. See u in my next post.
Bye for Now!💙

Why JIO extended Welcome offer till March 31? TRAI Questions JIO.

First is First,

The telecom major JIO, has rolled out very quickly by providing free 4G services till December 31. People started buying JIO sim and ended up in using their services everyday.

Flaws but doesn't count,

On the first hand JIO really disappointed people by providing them free Data and with a very *100 long queue.

Anyway this doesn't count. As they give free data,SMS,Free voice and video calling so standing in the queue doesn't strain them as they are going to get a year long benefit. 

So piling up this fact, we have experienced a flaws in their speeds also.. People claiming slow speed, calls not connecting , no LTE signals in certain areas and so on bunched up in the desk. We do have to understand certain logic. 
Are we paying?       No       (Your Answer) 
Yes you got my point. If you pay you have rights to ask such things but for a free service we do have to keep calm and enjoy the benefits.
So flaws doesn't count.

Why this Extension?

Jio extended this offer till March 31.  When entering into the telecom market jio said that they had a target of 100 Million subscribers but in the year end in spite of giving the free offers.. They had crossed only 50 Million subscribers.

So to attain their target they have extended their target.
