How to convert your phone into a Remote Control For your computer?

Everyone of us always wondered to control of our laptops and PCs with mobile.

Being precise let me tell that one can do this by using Unified Remote app.

Unified Remote comes  in two parts -the Unified remote server that needs to be installed on computer and UNIFIED REMOTE app that needs to be installed on your  Android  phone.

Firstly install the  Unified Remote server from http://www.unified remote.com on your computer and make sure that Windows firewall is not blocking it.

Once you have installed the server on your computer, you should download and install the UNIFIED REMOTE from the google play store on your android phone.

As soon as you launch the app on your phone, it will ask you to to automatically scan for coresponding server or maually add one. I recommend you to manually add the server.

Now if your computer is connected to Internet through a router, you need to enable POrt Forwarding ion it so that your android app is able to connect to your computer

You can get the detailed instruction on enable port forwarding by visiting 

www.portforward.com

now configure some options as given:

2.PORT RANGE

From 9512 to 9512

3.protocol

After completing the required fields tap the save button to continue.


NOw to check whether you have successfully connected to server or not tap the Diagnostics option on the Unified Remote dashboard screen.

To start controlling your computer go into Remotes section . There is a variety of controls availabale. Start using them and have fun........

How to unsend an Email from Gmail?

All of us have experienced email regret.

In such a situation wouldn't it be great if it were possible to unsend or undo send an email. This is where the gmail Undo Send feature helps. Once enabled the undo send feature allows you to unsend an email even after it has been sent.

Once you enable the Undo send option, everytime you send an email gmail will not send it instantly.
Instead it will hold back the email on its server for a few seconds allowing you to change your mind, retrieve and modify the email if you wish. To enable undo send feature in gmail all you need to do is:

1. Once you are logged onto your gmail account, click on Settings button.
2. A drop down menu will pop up on the screen again click on settings option.
