How To Fix Playstore No Connection Problem

It's a very common problem in most android devices the "No Connection" when accessing Playstore. The main reason of this problem is when we installed the Freedom app.














This application will add this line to our android's system host file 127.143.153.9 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com that prevents us to access playstore. In this tutorial, I will show you how to fix playstore no connection problem.

Requirements:

1. Your android phone must be rooted.
2. File Browser (In my case, I used Solid Explorer, but you may download this Root Explorer).

Instructions:

1. Open Root Explorer and go to System Root.

2. Open system folder, then open etc folder.

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.143.153.9 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com

5. Once you already opened the hosts file, all you need to do is to put comment in this line 127.143.153.9 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com. How to put comment? :D Add # before 127.143.153.9. Your hosts file will now look like on below screenshot. Anyway, you may safely remove the line 127.143.153.9 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com :)

Enable init.d support to most android devices


In this tutorial, I will show you on how to enable init.d support in most android devices. It is also supported to any android phones who do not want to use custom rom and just want to stay on their stock rom :)














Do I have Init.d support?

We'll proceed to the following test..

1. Download this init.d_test
2. Extract the file, you will get a file named 00test. DO NOT flash!
3. Paste it into /etc/init.d. If there is no init.d folder, most probably you DO NOT have init.d support. However, if you still wanna try, just create the folder named "init.d"
4. Change the permissions of the init.d folder and 00test into rwxrwxrwx.
5. Reboot.
6. If you see a file named Test.log in /data, you have init.d support. If not, you will have to run Uni-init, Term-init or Zip-init.

Features: - Utilises install-recovery.sh (if your kernel supports that, but of course, but most do...) to enable init.d scripts (busybox run-parts required)
- Will add lines in install-recovery.sh if it already exists (will not replace install-recovery.sh because certain apps such as Link2SD requires that to work), creates it if it doesn't
- Creates the init.d folder with correct permissions
- Adds 2 init.d scripts: one for testing (shows time of execution), another to ensure that the scripts in init.d folder always have the correct permissions
- Adds sysinit in /system/bin, will add the required lines if it already exists
- Deletes duplicate files and lines to ensure the least of errors

Requirements:
- a rooted phone of course...

busybox playstore

- busybox with required applets (especially run-parts), if not sure what is this, just install this by Stericson: Link and please reboot after installing before running this script...android init.d support...use "normal install" method, don't use "smart install"...

Instructions:
1. Download the uni-init.v.1.0.apk.
2. Install the apk like any normal app.
3. Launch the app.
4. The rest are pretty self-explanatory...android init.d support
5. You can uninstall the app after that..

universal init.d support

**To check whether init.d is really working or not, reboot your phone and navigate to /data...you should find a Test.log in there...If it is present, congrats, you have a WORKING init.d support!

Microsoft Office 2013: To-Do / Calendar Bar Missing Functionality

I just recently started using Office 2013 and have some things to which I must get accustomed.

However, I felt that I needed to share this discovery as there seems to be much aggravation from the user base concerning this topic.

The almighty To-Do and Appointment Bar has been crippled and been replaced by a highly annoying Peeks functionality. Peeks allows you to pick a day and see what's going on. Much different than seeing your next 5 or so days worth of appointments onscreen next to your email.

Thanks to  and this blog post covering the topic. She informed me of an Appointment and to Do Addin from gamosoft on Codeplex.

It brings back the functionality I have vehemently been trying to find in this new version.

There are many other new features which lead to annoyances in Office 2013. So many in fact, my current recommendation is to stick with 2010 for long time users of the office suite.

Even so, the did remove the annoying suggested contacts feature in 2013.  Click to see a full list of deprecations in Office 2013.

Leave a comment with your thoughts on Office 2010 versus 2013.
