How to fix ''install error 961'' on Android

Thursday, June 5, 2014

A problem that has recently been plaguing users is one that might seem devastating, but actually can be resolved quite easily. Experienced users might know how to fix the error, but there are many Android owners who are stumped. Fear not, here is how to solve ''unknown error 961''.

 

When downloading an app, either free or paid, sometimes there’s a problem when installing due to ''unknown error 961''. Don’t panic! First, in order not to lose any money if it's a paid app, ask for a refund immediately, which you can do within 15 minutes just by selecting the repayment option in the Google Play Store. If you need extra help with this, we’ve written a tutorial on how to try paid apps for free. After this is done, you need to get down to solving the issue itself

1) To do this, go into your phone’s settings, then Applications (or Apps or Application Manager), swipe to the left to ''All'' and scroll down until you find Google Play, tap on it.

2) In the app information page, tap on the button to empty the cache.

3) If this doesn't solve the problem, try to delete the data from the Play Store which is found on the same page (Settings > Manage applications > Google Play > Delete data). This was how I was able to download and install the app when faced with the error 961 message. Hopefully this post will help you in future!

I hope this helped you solve the problem. Let us know in the comment below.

How to Hide Photos on your iPhone without using any Apps

Wednesday, June 4, 2014
Do you have any photographs on your iPhone (or iPad) that you wish to hide from family members while they are casually flipping through the photo albums on your iOS device?
                                  Hide the iPhone photos in the photo library itself

How to Hide Photos on your iPhone /iPad

The Apps Store is flooded with apps that can password protect your iOS photos or your even use Dropbox. First transfer the sensitive pictures from the camera roll to your Dropbox folder and then add a 4-digit Passcode to the Dropbox app. Thus, your photos stay on the device but completely hidden.
Here’s another trick that will let you hide photos inside your photo albums but without requiring any apps or passwords.
  1. Open the photo library on your iPhone (or iPad) and tap the photo that you wish to keep a secret.
  2. Tap “Edit” and then tap the “Crop” tool at the bottom.
  3. Drag the corners of the cropping box inside such that a very small portion of the image is visible inside that box.
  4. Save the cropped version and it will replace the original image in your camera roll.
When you edit a photo inside iOS, the original copy gets saved along with the edited version and hence we can easily get back to the original unedited version. [via]

To see the original image, just open the edited image inside the photo album, choose “Edit” and then tap “Revert to Original.” In the case of iPhone, the “Revert to Original” option is missing but you can manually drag the cropping handles outside to see the original version.

Not all Android users have an unlimited data plan. Monitoring data use is a pain, but Android Jelly Bean makes it a little easier. Go to Settings > Data usage to see how much data each of your apps is using. You can program your phone to warn you when you're approaching a high amount of data use and stop you altogether when you reach a certain limit. Users of the Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb versions of Android (2.2 through 3.2) can download Onavo Count, a free app that serves the same purpose but also lets you set data restrictions on individual apps.
