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. Others include Samsung's Kies, Mi Phone's Mi PC Suite etc. But if your phone manufacturer did not provide a PC suite software or if the pc suite software is not working as expected, you can try any of the below free desktop Android phone managers to manage your Android phone from a computer.

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?

How to remove flickering or banding when recording a digital screen or monitor?

The other day, I was making a tutorial video and I had to record the activities performed on a laptop screen. When recording screen activities, I usually use an open source software called "Cam Studio" but this time, the activity involved shutting down the computer. Therefore, I chose to record it with my smartphone in HD mode instead. And I noticed the video had flickers. It is very distracting to look at. I had to remove the flickers otherwise, the video will be unwatchable.

So, what causes the flickering on the screen when recording a display screen or monitor?
