How to increase data transfer speed in Hard disk
Who doesn't love speed when it comes to your pc. Faster performance of your pc makes you feel great.
But what happens when your Hard disk starts to perform like crap or takes a lot of time to process and copy files. You think that your pc has started to show its age. But did you know, sluggish performance of your Hard-disk is not always the effect of your pc's age.
So we shall discuss what causes your Hard disk to go sluggish.
Reason 1. Your Hard disk may be heavily fragmented
It simply means that the storing system of your Hard disk is not properly managed. Don't worry, it happens with all of the computers, at certain point of time.
It does severely affect the pcs which have never defragmented their Hard disks.

Fortunately, Windows has got an inbuilt feature to Defrag the Hard disks.
To defrag an Hard disk follow these steps :
Step 1. Right click on the Hard disk to be Defragmented and select Properties.
Step 2. Switch to Tools tab and click on Optimise.
Step 3. A new window should pop-up. From there, select your Hard disk and click on Optimise.
Defragmentation will take some time to get completed.
I recommend you to use TuneUp Utilities to defrag your Hard disk, it is a powerful software to optimize your pc, which will thoroughly defrag your Hard disk and you'll get back your original faster performance from Hard disks.

Step 3. Then click on Change Settings option from the following window.
Step 4. Switch to Policies Tab and Enable Write-Caching by ticking the box.
Reason 3. Hard disk is running out of space
It has been proved that if your Hard disk has less than 20% of free space, then it will not work at its peak performance. If you want to make your Hard disk work at blazing speed as before, try to keep 20% of its space free.
For this, you can:
1. Compress files: Compressing files will result in huge amount of space to be saved. However, all of the files will not compress and save space, for ex, video and audio files will not save space but compressing an installed game will result in huge space to be saved.
2. Use TuneUp Utilities to remove Duplicate files: TuneUp Utilities has a feature of finding and removing duplicate files on your Hard disk, which may save a huge amount of space, in many cases.

How to easily recover deleted Whatsapp messages
How to easily recover deleted messages in WhatsApp
Before WhatsApp was developed we could not think of an app that would be free to send text, photos, videos, and audio.
When there is some kind of uniqueness in a particular thing, it doesn't take time to become viral. Same is with WhatsApp, it did not take much time to be in almost every Android and Symbian phone in the world.
This is the reason for which Mark Zuckerberg bought it for a jaw-dropping $19 billion, and he still thinks that WhatsApp is worth more than that.
Today WhatsApp is the most popular messaging service which uses data plan to transmit users' messages.
So it was a brief introduction to WhatsApp, Now let's come to the point and get started.
Recovering deleted WhatsApp messages is not that difficult as it may sound. If you have deleted your chat history by mistake, then don't panic because WhatsApp automatically makes a backup of your chat history and saves them to your phone memory. The backup will not be removed before 7 days, after that it may be overwritten or deleted.
There are two ways to recover your deleted WhatsApp chat history: -

Step 2. Reinstall from the .apk file you've got.
Step 3. When you'll start it, it'll ask you to whether restore from backup file or not. Simply click on Restore to get your messages back.

Method 2. Restoring from Backup file
If the previous trick did not prove to be useful for you, then continue reading this one.
It did solve the problem for me.
Requirements : A file explorer. Use any well-known file explorer from Playstore, such as, ES File explorer, or Root Explorer.
(In this tutorial I have used ES File Explorer.)
Now follow the steps carefully: -
Step 1.
Open ES File Explorer and navigate to sd card > WhatsApp > Databases.
© WhatsApp
Step 2.
There you'll find files of your past seven days backup. They will be named as msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt
Step 3.
Now find the one with the date you want to recover messages from. If you don't remember the date, go for the latest one because it will have most of the messages.
Rename that file as msgstore.db.crypt
Mark these words, they should be exact, crypt should not remain crypt5 or crypt7, it should only be crypt.

Step 4.
Now follow Method 1 from starting, i.e. Uninstall and Reinstall WhatsApp.
When it asks for restoration, click on Restore to get your messages back.
That is all. We have successfully recovered all of the deleted messages.
Now go and recover your messages fast before their backup gets replaced with the newer one.

How to check whether an email address exists?
How to check whether an email address exists?
Have you ever tried to find out whether an email address exists or not? There are times, when you're not sure about an email address, if its valid or not. In that case you send an email to that address and get your email bounced back after few hours. Isn't it a time consuming process to check the existence of an email address. Yes it is.
So today I have brought you two simple ways to check whether an email address exists or not, in seconds.
In this tutorial, I have used my Google or Gmail account to check any email address's existence.
Trick 1 : Check using your own Email address
This is the simplest trick to check the existence of an email. The only thing you need to do is, pretend that you've forgot your password.
Step 1.
Open the Gmail sign in window.

Step 2.
Select or type your email address but not your password. Then, click on Need Help? option below password.
Step 3.
In the following window, select I don't know my password.
Step 4.
There it'll ask for an email address whose password you've forgotten. Your email would be already typed in there. Replace your email address with the email address you want to check existence for. If it's correct there'll not be any problem and you'll proceed further, but if it's not, you'll see an error saying that 'No account found with that email address.'

So, by this you can simply check whether an email address exists or not.
Trick 2 : Check by creating a new account
This is an alternative to the previous trick but yet equally effective. It has a limit that it will work only for Google email service (Gmail).
Simply create a new account and type that email address in the username field (excluding @gmail.com). Google will let you know whether that username is available or not.
So these are the simple tricks to check the existence of an email address. Did you think it is that easy?? I guess no.
