How to show a false location of where you are? (Android)

Whether you want to just show someone being in a desired location, or just try the online products or services not available for your location, these tricks will help you do this amazing practice!

So starting up, you have to check the checkbox "Allow mock location" in Developer options section in Settings.

If Developer options is not shown in your settings you have to enable that by going to About phone> Device information then tap on the Build number 7 times. You'll get the developer options enabled.

So then you need the app called Mock Locations (Fake GPS path) installed on your device. Open that app and choose your location with that.

Now, to check it it works or not, open your maps app e.g. Google Maps then tap on the my location button on lower right corner. It will take you to the exact place you had set with the Mock Locations app.
You can also Check-In with your Facebook.

Remember not to close that app and allow it to run in the background while you do your stuff.

This won't work for your online products like apps available on Play Store for other countries which are not released for your country. There's another trick to do that.

You might say you can simply download the APK file of that app from a sideload apps site. But I'm going to show you how to download that from Play Store officially itself.

Prerequisite is a VPN app that you can easily get from the Store. There are many, but I would suggest you to use the Opera Free VPN - Unlimited VPN by OSL Networks as it's a trusted one.

Now after signing in, choose your country e.g. United States where your desired app is out. After it's done, clear the data of Play Store in Apps manager in Settings.

Now launch Play Store and you can see the effect. You can get the Spotify, YouTube Music and many more which are not available here.

That's it.

How to download files from Dropbox and Google Drive using IDM?

First of all let me tell you that the title of this article should be "How to download files from Dropbox  and Google Drive using IDM or any other download manager ?" Ever wondered if you could download gigantic files with pause and resume support with your favorite download manager. Generally, download managers can't do that because they have not cookies, unlike browsers. But as you know, there's always a way. Downloading drom Dropbox: 1. Mark the address bar. 2.Copy the URL to the clipboard. 3. Add the URL to your download manager (Here I'm using Tonec IDM). You should seethe link starting with " https://www.. ." 4. Replace that with "dl", viz. your link " https://www .dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" will be now  " dl ..dropbox.com/s/3fo8409jtcfz1nh/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CC%202015_x64bit.rar?dl=0" 5.

New fraud WhatsApp message misguiding people to get them free data on Jio

A message telling users to "upgrade their services" has gone viral on popular social instant messaging platform WhatsApp. As you can clearly see the actual URL of the site is http://upgrademyjioservice.blogspot.in/, just a blog , which is not associated with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in anyway. And at the bottom of the message, you can see the hood-winker has used URL shortening service TINYCC  to beguile people. On clicking the link you will land on the blog Looking at the address bar, it's a Blogspot site. It will tell you to download an app (in APK) and install it. And mark the unnecessary permissions required for the app too. Think about it. If it's really from Jio and an official offer, then why wouldn't it be in Play Store? Why wouldn't it not be advertised on MyJio app? MyJio is the self-care application by Jio facilitating  users to manage their Jio Account and Digital Services associated with it. Why wouldn't it be...

How to make unresumable downloads resumable?

While downloading from some sites you must have seen the links going expired. Some download manager also have a "Refresh Download Link" feature to solve that. However it doesn't work in all cases. So to clinch that issue, you can download those files to your cloud drive and download those from it itself. There is no time limit in downloading from cloud drives and you can easily take the advantage of pause and resume features. I'm going to use Google Drive and MultCloud here. However there are many other sites you can get by just googling it. First of all get the link of the file to be downloaded​. Goto MultCloud (you have to create an account) add the URL, it will be saved to your Google Drive. Now it's all done. You can simply download the file with no hassle from your cloud storage without bothering about expiration of link or time limit. There's another feature of MultCloud, some sites even restrict your download speed to few KB/s, by using it you can d...
