Four FREE Android Phone Manager / PC Suite for Android Mobile Phones

Quite often we end up in need of backing up our smartphone data to our local computer. That is when PC Suite or desktop phone manager comes in handy. Nowadays, we also have cloud storage to backup some of our data but then, cloud storage comes with limited storage if free and of course, it required data connection to upload (better do it on WiFi). And generally, not all photos and videos we took from our phones are not worth uploading all to cloud storage. That would be a waste of our precious space. So the ultimate choice is to store it on our computer or on external hard disks. That's when PC suite and phone manager comes in handy. We can also copy or transfer files from phone to computer and vice-versa just by using USB cable but having a PC Suite helps us in doing more with our phone than just transfer files.  In this post, we shall see top five FREE PC Suite or phone manager software for Android smartphones.

Some phone manufacturers provide their own PC suite. We may fondly remember Nokia PC Suite as well from those days.

How to automatically update all Third Party software in Windows Computer ?

On Windows Computer, we can use the Windows Update to install patches and updates from Microsoft. Any new updates available from Microsoft are installed. That is all right. But we don't use Microsoft software alone do we? In fact, except for those using Microsoft Office programs, most people use Third Party software for majority of their needs.

Most users manage software updates manually - either the software notify us that there is a newer version or we check out manually from the software's website and download new updates or versions. Now this is all right too, but sometimes, a software that does not notify of new updates or those which are not frequently used might be missed. And it may be a tedious task to go to each software's website to check out for newer versions. What if we could manage third party software updates automatically by using some programs?

Best Android app to compress videos on Android Mobile Phone (Video Compress Demo)

When we buy Android smartphones, we want the best -  with good features and with good camera resolutions. Nowadays, most smartphones have at least 8 MP resolution camera. And more resolution means, more video file size. Eventually, the phone's memory is going to be filled as memory is not unlimited! So there may come a time when you might need to compress the videos to keep them on the phone though backing them up on a computer is more practical to preserve the original resolution and quality. And most users use mobile data connection which is costlier than our home Wi-Fi. And some users share video shot off their mobile phone camera as it is. For viewing a video on mobile devices, a very high resolution is not necessary. Thus, it seems more practical to compress such videos before sharing to others so that the sharer does not waste a lot of data and even so that the receiver also do not need to spend a lot of data to download the video. While we can also use desktop video editing / compression software to compress videos and put them back to the phone, it may be a tedious task. And why do that when there are Android apps for it, hmm?
