Anleitung: WhatsApp auf das neue Android-Smartphone übertragen
Ihr kauft euch ein neues Smartphone und wollt eure WhatsApp-Chats, Bilder, Videos, usw. usf. auf das neue Smartphone übertragen? Das ist überhaupt kein Problem:

Verbindet euer altes Smartphone mit eurem Rechner. Im Speicher (intern - falls Speicherkarte vorhanden) findet Ihr einen WhatsApp-Ordner. Diesen einfach auf das Desktop kopieren (Rechtsklick -> kopieren -> einfügen).

Stay connected for 24 hours with free incoming for Rs.5.00 pre-paid roaming plans from Vodafone

While mobile service operators like Vodafone, Airtel and Idea are busy slashing 2G rates for internet connectivity across India, the Vodafone has announced a Special Tariff Voucher (STV) of Rs.5.00 for its pre-paid customers.  

This STV once activated will give you 24 hours of free incoming calls throughout India.  Mind you only receiving calls are free, if you make a call you will be charged at 1.5 paisa per second.  To activate this plan, you have to dial *444*500# and follow the instructions.

This is especially useful for pre-paid Vodafone subscribers who plan to visit some remote place for a few days.  If you are planning on a bigger stay or extending your stay, you should try out the Vodafone's Rs.71.00 STV which will give you unlimited incoming calls while roaming for entire month.  This plan is available for  Post-paid Vodafone users too but the charges are Rs.75.00.  Post Paid users can call the Vodafone customer care to activate this service.

Book your train tickets, check your PNR status and trains availability with Cleartrip Android App, download now

Indian Railways is used by over 25 million Indians every year and is the best possible method of conveyance because of its sheer size and reach.   I had already given a timetable App for all phones here for Mumbaikars which is very popular even now.  

The Indian Railways introduced a SMS based ticketing service last month wherein you have can avail the services even through most basic phones on 139 or 5676714.  Once you have received the tickets on your SMS you can use it along with your original photo id to embark the train.  

But getting the tickets itself is a big problem where every ticket gets sold out in 7 seconds or so.  I have given out a tutorial for easing the process of booking tickets from the IRCTC website here.  

Today or rather yesterday Cleartrip has updated its Android App to include the ticket booking of Railways in the App through IRCTC.  With the latest App, you can search for trains and book tickets on the go, anywhere anytime.  It also give PNR status of your tickets if they have been wait listed.  

The Cleartrip App can be used as you would use the IRCTC's website.  It can be used to  find trains between stations, availability of seats, train fares, PNR Status all in one.  

This is a must have App for every Indian, because every now an then we have to travel by the Indian Railways.  You can download the App here from Google Play.

Cleartrip also offers air tickets through the same App.  They have not updated the iOS App yet to add the Railways feature, if they do I will keep you updated.
