Deactivate internet in Samsung Galaxy Mobiles – How to stop data service



From the first day when you buy your Samsung android galaxy mobiles , internet service is automatically active . If you don’t have internet pack in the sim which you have inserted into your newly bought galaxy, then your balance has been surely deducted. Even sometimes when your net pack validity is over then also your balance has been deducted if data service has not been stopped.

It’s not like other mobiles which turn on internet service when browser opens. You have to manually turn on or turn off data service.


As there are many services or processes which run in background in your mobile, so if you don’t stop this data connection then you will be charged from your main balance when you don’t have internet pack or when net pack validity is over. Then you must deactivate the

Internet Settings in Samsung Galaxy Y for All Operators (Aircel , Bsnl , Reliance , Docomo and others)

Samsung android galaxy y provides a beautiful platform for surfing internet. Configuring internet settings is both manual and automatic, that is, when you insert sim card of any mobile operator, it automatically fetches gprs and mms settings. However you can edit those settings, but you don’t need to.

So here is the procedure for configuring internet settings. 

  PROCEDURE

Automatic configuration is preferable than the manual settings. So first of all check the settings if your mobile has automatically fetched settings from the operator or not. It automatically sends request to the operator to get the

Connect Galaxy Y as USB Mass Storage


Samsung Galaxy Y is one of the cheapest android phone used worldwide now-a-days. I have wrote several tutorials on galaxy y . Do check the galaxy y label in my blog. You can connect it via USB as mass storage. Follow the steps stated below.



Steps

1)  Connect your mobile to PC Via USB cable.



2)  Make sure you have connected it properly. Galaxy Y does not have a good connector. So connect USB carefully.



3)  If you have connected it the right way then you will see notification "usb connected" like this.





4) Tap on that notification. And a screen will appear.



5) Click on "connect as mass storage".



6) Click "ok".


After a while you will see in your PC that it has detected a mass storage device.


Now you are ready to use Galaxy Y as Mass storage without removing memory card from your mobile.


Before You Do This

Always check that memory card is properly inserted and mounted. Otherwise this tutorial will not work.

Transfer Files Over WiFi From PC to Android Mobile

Sometimes it's very irritating to plug in usb in between your mobile and PC and connect it as mass storage. Bluetooth is another option, but the transfer speed is very slow. So is there any process which can transfer files wirelessly at a good speed ?

              
                                                                                                                                                          

Yes there is WiFi ....


There is a software for your android mobile which can perform this task. This Software is called Remote Web Desktop which not only performs wireless file transfer also it can provide u many advantages like webcam, WiFi keyboard and file explorer and many more. I wrote another tutorial on how to use android mobiles as webcam over WiFi.

Procedure

1)   Go to android market and download Remote Web Desktop in your mobile.

Automatic Street Light For Energy Conservation

Automatic street light is an electronics based project which is useful for Final semester students of Electronics dept, even it can be implemented practically in urban and rural areas where manual switching of street light is not possible or inefficient as it consumes power when not turned of in the daylight.


Introduction


This project can be implemented in Household too. If you don't know all the electronics and circuit stuffs then u need not. Go to an electronics technician and tell them to build the circuit shown below and the whole procedure how to make it stated in this article. . It automatically switches ON lights when the sunlight goes below the visible region of our eyes. It automatically switches OFF lights under illumination by sunlight.


 How does it work



This circuit works in 9V DC. If you have AC supply connect it to a AC-DC converter available on electronics store. The brain of the circuit is a sensor called LDR or Light Dependent Resistor which senses light. The resistance of the device goes high in dark and reduces in light. This principle is applied in Automatic Street Light project.


  Block Diagram & Circuit Diagram




 This is the schematics --------




Short Description of the LDR



LDR is the heart of the circuit. It is a kind of light sensor. The commercial photoconductive materials include cadmium sulphide (CdS), cadmium selenide (CdSe), Lead sulfide (PbS) and Indium antimonide (InSb) etc., There is large change in the resistance of a cadmium selenide cell with changes in ambient temperature, but the re­sistance of cadmium sulphide remains relatively stable. It is made by photoconductive material. Light sensitive material is arranged in the form of a long strip, zig-zagged across a disc shaped base with protective sides. For additional protection, a glass or plastic cover may be included.

 Detailed Working Procedure


The circuit uses an LDR to sense the light .When there is light the resistance of LDR will be low. So the voltage drop across POT R2 will be high. This keeps the transistor Q1 ON. The collector of Q1(BC107) is coupled to base of Q2(SL100). So Q2 will be OFF and so do the relay. The bulb will remain OFF.

When night falls the resistance of LDR increases to make the voltage across the POT R2 to decrease below 0.6V.This makes transistor Q1 OFF which in turn makes Q2 ON. The relay will be energized and the bulb will glow.

 Uses of this project


                   By employing this circuit, energy consumption can be reduced considerably as the light switches ON or OFF automatically in appropriate time. Moreover, errors which occur due to manual operation also can be eliminated completely. The Automatic street light controller unit fabrication is cost-effective with good sensitivity and high reproducibility. Moreover, the construction of the circuit is also simple so that it can be done easily as it involves locally available components. The circuit is designed in such a way that the extent of darkness at which the light has to switch ON or OFF also can be tailored whenever it is needed. It can be used for other purposes like garden lighting, balcony lighting etc.



 Conclusion

 
Implementation in solar cell -

The above circuit can be powered from a battery, which can be charged during day time  by harvesting the solar energy  through a solar cell .

Implementation in Sun Tie Converter-   
                   
                 The solar energy harvested from sunlight can be stored, inverted from DC voltage to AC voltage using sun tie converter. The AC voltage can be stepped up and given to the electric grid.
 
This project is very cheap and easy to build. You don't need any hard work for building this circuit and it is also very useful for the developing countries which needs consuming more power day by day, using this we can reduce power wastage. If this project is used in bulk then we must have lowered the energy wastage by means of implementing this circuit as a step towards green earth.

Auto Wiper Control in Your Car

Many of us are tired of continuously working wiper when it is not raining. We have to turn on and of wiper frequently. That's a big disturbance. However if we use controlled or auto timer wiper then we can get rid of this problem whenever its not raining heavily.

It's a 555 timer IC based project.

The Circuit is very cheap and easy to build.

All you need to find the wiper motor in your car.

After u found this, u have to connect the following circuit with the motor and your car battery as shown.
