4 ways to use android apps on your PC are:

Bluestacks is a silicon valley based software company that produces the bluestacks software which is most probably the first software to introduce android apps to PC.But problem comes here is that blue stacks is available in free version but it slow down your system and when it comes to Youwave its in paid version which was we are not most likely to pay when we are getting a similar thing for free.so to overcome this problem Genymotion  have come.And also there is this official Android emulator provided by google as a part of the Android SDK.

1. BLUESTACKS:                                                

Bluestacks is one of the popular software amongst Android emulator for windows, this is not a complete software but mostly an app player.It has a simpler user interface.you can search for an app on playstore using the search field and install the app we need in our PC.The user experience could be a lot better if you have a windows 8 touch screeen display as you could perform action just the way you would do on android smartphone.If we dont have a touch screen instead of swipe click and hold mouse button,move the mouse cursor and then release.

Advantages:

• Push Apps from  Bluestacks App to your device.
• Ease of PC to navigate on PC screen.
• Though it is not the best emulator for windows, it has great potential.

Disadvantages:

• Not all features of an App can be used.
• This Android emulator for Windows still have a lot of bugs freezing.

2. YOUWAVE: 

You Wave offers full android system unlike Bluestacks app player the menu and options are  just like a regular android home screen, however you wave is a paid application but comes  with ten days of free trial to try out the software, this is the only android emulator for windows on our list which doesn’t offer free version. You wave android emulator for windows  works on resources from a software called virtual box, if this piece of virtualization software is installed on your system then you will have to remove it before installing the you wave because both will be relying on same services.                                           

You may decide to install android on virtual box by skipping you wave but that calls for more work however by doing this you don’t have to pay to you wave makers. Unlike Bluestacks, you wave doesn’t come pre loaded with top apps however you can install play store to get your favorite apps, to install Google play Click the View menu, select Online Content, and click on the Google Play icon, then Click the View menu again, select Apps, and click the Google Play app to download Google play.

Advantages:

• Fast performance with almost no lags.

Disadvantages:

• It is paid App and free trial is only for 10 days.

Genymotion is available for Windows, Mac & Linux. Like You Wave Genymotion does not rely on resources from virtual box, if you are trying to install it on windows the installation package is bundled with Virtual box but for mac and Linux virtual box has to be installed separately.

Genymotion has a lot of features to offer including but not limited to Wi-Fi, GPS emulators, hardware acceleration, command line utility & eclipse IDE plugin, developers goal is to include many more sensors in coming versions, click here to download Genymotion.

4. OFFICIAL ANDROID EMULATOR:

Google provides an official Android emulator as part of the Android SDK. You can use it to run the Android operating system in a window on your existing computer. This gives you complete access to the entire Android operating system. It’s intended for developers to test their Android apps.

Unfortunately, the official Android emulator is rather slow and isn’t a good option for everyday use. It’s useful if you want to test apps or play with the latest version of Android, but you wouldn’t want to actually use apps or play games in it. 

Advantages:

• It is officially produced by Google.

Disadvantages:

TOP 7 VIDEO PLAYERS FOR ANDROID

Video playing is one of the areas where Google hasn't done a good part on Android. Its standard player is still giving a lifeless experience. Android's open developer market place allows users to replace the native android video player with a large variety of media applications and also a better definition and view.

Top 7 Video Players for Android:

MX Player:

MX Player is an excellent Android player for general purposes, and it offers great usability and features. It supports all kinds of gestures and pinch-to-zoom. The most important thing is MX Player features software and hardware decoding to be able to support many different file formats. On the main view screen, we have a screen lock, variable aspect ratio and subtitle controls and the rest of the options stay in the settings menu. But this player may need an additional codec pack, but it depends on the devices and app automatically scans our device after installation. It supports ads.

MOBO Player:

MoBoPlayer is a very popular video player app. It can detect the ‘video' on your device and supports folders too, so if you have all your content divided into categories, such as ‘TV Shows’, ‘Documentaries’, ‘Movies’, it will display this as such – though one tap can change the view to include everything on a single screen. One of the main selling points of this video player is that it will support pretty much any file-format, without the need to convert first. It also offers up separate codec download in case you do experience compatibility issues. Additionally, Mobo Player offers great support for subtitles, including SRT, ASS, and SAA, while you can sort all your videos by a number of criteria, including name, size, format, resolution and more. It’s a great player that performs consistently well in terms of playback and video quality, and is easy to boot.

V Player:

V Player an app with solid and consistent video playback, supporting most of the common file-formats out there. When you first launch the app, it detects all the video-containing folders on your handset. It has the ability to copy/paste links from YouTube and Vimeo to let you watch them directly in VPlayer, and save them for later. VPlayer doesn’t let you organize or filter your content all that well, however, and as such may appeal more to power-users rather than those just looking for a nice way to access and view their videos. Indeed, one of VPlayer’s big selling points is its hardware-accelerated decoding and rendering to HD, always remembers where you left-off, should you wish to cease viewing temporarily. It also supports dual core devices, playing 720p and 1080p videos. Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the fully unrestricted version of VPlayer is only free for seven days, after which you’ll need to cough up $5 for VPlayer unlocker.

VLC Player:

The official android VLC Player was launched last year, and the developers continue to improve the user experience according to the feedback. To match the powers of its desktop counterpart, VLC for Android devices supports almost any video format file type. Multi-audio and subtitles support paired with aspect ratio adjustment make it quite a powerful player, but bear in mind that Beta status means the app might be unstable and buggy. Nevertheless, VLC is quite a superior video player, and we recommend you give it a try.

REAL Player:

Real Player is one of the greatest player of the digital music space, and though you may have long-forgotten about its PC-based software, the Android app is actually really nice. It’s a video, photo and music-playing app, and to access the former you must cast your eye to the bottom where you’ll see an icon helpfully titled ‘Video’. You’re then presented with a folder view and ‘all’ view. You can search for any video stored on your device. RealPlayer is a great little all-in-one media app, but if you’re specifically looking to watch locally-stored videos, then you’d maybe be better with something a little more dedicated than this, such as MoboPlayer.

WINAMP:

Winamp synchronizes smart phone playlists with Winamp’s content on desktop computers via a USB connection or Wi-Fi. You can also customize your playlists on the go. Winamp for Android displays the basic media information, such as artist, album and the title, and interacts directly with Pandora, YouTube and Amazon’s MP3 store. Even though developers took time off to update the app.

BS Player:

BS Player is a solid video player for power users. It features hardware and software decoding and supports a large number of popular video formats. The interface is clean-cut and supports swipe gestures. In addition, this player has a variety of skins to customize the UI to suit your liking. BS Player supports subtitles, as well as built-in subtitles in MKV files. In addition, BS player can search for the appropriate subtitles online. “Pop out” window is one of the greatest features of this player and can be used to watch videos in a smaller window above other applications.

This feature has been updated by Face book half an year back.

                                       

     

The "seen" feature in Face book chat is very useful because it lets you to know whether your friend has seen your message or not. This feature helps in finding the status of our message to your friend. But with this feature there raises some issues between two friends in the matter of ignoring one's message.

I mean to say that, if a friend of you sent a message you have seen that message but in a hurry you are not able to reply him/her at that time he/she thinks that you are ignoring him/her by not sending reply to his/her message. At that time you think of necessity of the presence of disabling "seen" feature in Face book. 

For those who think about this option please read below know how to do that. Some people may use to chat via Android device and some people by their PC. For them I give different solutions based on the platform they chat. See below......

Disable "SEEN" Feature in Face book Chat:

1. DISABLE "SEEN" FEATURE IN ANDROID:       

Instead of installing Face book messenger in Android devices you Install PRIVY CHAT FOR FACEBOOK, which works as same as the Face book messenger. This App makes users to quickly read the messages by without marking them as read or seen. This helps the users to give an satisfied reply without any hurry to give an instant response to the message. This is the only thing that will save from "seen" feature in Face book chat while doing chat in an Android device.

2. DISABLE "SEEN" FEATURE IN PC:

a) IN GOOGLE CHROME:

Google chrome is one of the browsers, which is very famous and mostly used. This Google Chrome is developed by Google. We can disable "Seen" feature in PC while using from Google chrome by installing an Extension named "FACEBOOK UNSEEN". This extension when enabled will make your friends not notified about when you have seen the message.

To install:

• Go to settings in Google Chrome, and then click on settings option.
• Then go for extensions in the settings window.
• There in search bar, type as "Face book Unseen".
• The extension gets displayed on the screen, then click on the extension and then click on ADD TO CHROME.
• Then it will be installed in Chrome and make it enable while doing chat in Face book.

This is how we can disable "seen" feature on Face book Chat in Google Chrome of PC. With this extension we can turn on and turn off seen feature whenever you want. 

b) IN MOZILLA FIREFOX:

In Firefox also we can disable "seen" feature on Face book chat with the help of Block Site plus plugin from Mozilla Firefox Add-on. To do this follow procedure below.....

• Download and Install Block Site Plus plug-in from Firefox Add-on[ To download CLICK HERE].
• Then in Mozilla start page go to Add-on, there click the Extensions button.
• Then click the options button in the Block Site Plus Add-on.
• Then a new window gets opened, in that window check the "add this site" option and paste below given URL in the text box below the "add this site" option.
• And then select Quick add and Ok buttons to finalize the procedure.

URL:: " facebook.com/ajax/mercury/change_read_status.php "

                     

But the only disadvantage with this option in Mozilla Firefox is you must do the above procedure every time you open your Firefox Browser and before proceeding to chat. 

In the above ways you can disable "seen" feature on Face book chat. If you know any new methods and procedures to disable "seen" feature on face book chat please comment below. And if you have any queries about this topic please comment below.
