Windows Phone

Windows Phone 7 offers us unprecedented experience: online synchronous service. Yet, even good service has to pay a higher price-network flow. So, how can we save network flow without affecting good operating experience? The followings are some practical strategies in employing Windows Phone.

1' Wi-Fi network

Steps: Settings'Wi-Fi'Wi-Fi Networking (On/Off'

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is the most widely used wireless network transmission technology. That means it transmits wire network signals to wireless ones. When Wi-Fi wireless signals are available, it is possible to connect to the network without connecting other signals, which saves flow fees in your case.

2. If you are accustomed to using operator data, I strongly suggest you shutting it well and never turning it on in anticipation of having to use it.

Steps: Settings 'Network' Data Connection (On/Off)

After closing Data Connection, the entire data network will likely be turned off completely. For example, your cell phone will not be able to obtain MMS, neither does it enable to deliver MMS. Besides, notices regarding the information of Wi-Fi and apps won't be available, either.

Data Roaming Options (Roam/Don't Roam)

For people who haven't opened global roaming, it does not matter whether you choose data roam you aren't. However, for those who have opened international roaming service and go abroad every once in awhile, you will need to think twice whether there's necessary to turn on this function.

3. Airplane Mode

Steps: Settings'Airplane Mode (Status On/Off)

This function can close cell cellular at a time and no operator network flow will probably be generated. Yet, after closing this function, you are able to still open Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. When there is a calling coming, the caller will receive a message indicating your phone being power off.

4. Mail synchronization'Make better use of Push Mail

Steps: Settings 'Email & Account'Press your email box.

If you never often send emails and seldom rely on it, please select "Down New Context' Manually Model". If you need it, please continue with the steps below:

-For Windows Live mailbox:

Steps: Download New Context ' As Items Arrive".

Well, creates this change step mean? In fact, it is the term for Push Mail. According to my very own experience that Push Mail can better save flow.

-For Exchange ActiveSync mailbox:

Steps: Download New Context s'As Items Arrive.

-For other mail:

As other types of post office box don't support Push Mail, you haven't any choice but set the choices of "Dowloand New Context ' Regular Inspection". You can save plenty of flow if you fix a certain time to check emails according to your email intensity.

5. Location services

Steps: Settings 'Location'Location Services'On/Off'

After the close of location services, the apps of previously opened location services will are not able to access to your overall location.

6. Find my phone

Steps:

Settings'Find My Phone

        '

Save my location periodically for better mapping

Get results Faster (may use more battery)

7. Update cell phones

In the past years, as a result of openness of Windows, everyone were afraid that their PCs would get poisoned or perhaps invaded by Trojans, which is why anything stored within the PC will be seen by others, or their passwords or key will be let out.

As smartphones are more clinging on the body, we store many personal information or even locations into them. As our smartphones will always be in a state of networking quite often, they'll cause much more serious loss than PCs if invaded by Trojans.

Compared to Android, WP7 is safer because of its closed operating-system. If strictly continue with the suggestions below, your smartphones will probably be too much safer.

Windows Phone Safety Regulations

Only download apps and games from Marketplace. In fact, there are numerous methods to unlock WP7 and to download pirated softwares. Yet, the problem is once you unlock WP7, the API towards the bottom of your smartphones is going to be exposed, thus leading on the possibilities for hackers to get or change some information and facts through these API. Some technicians informed about WP7 can easily interpret a collection of contrary APP. Plus with Trojan or monitoring apps, they upload them into piracy markets, where you do not know if the apps downloaded are problematic you aren't.

2. Update your cell phones to the latest version.

3. Set unlock passwords for your cell phone in case of someone will pick-up or steal your phones. Please refer to How to Unlock WP7?

4. Set SIM passwords. Take PIN as SIM of your cellular phone. By both setting unlock 

passwords and SIM codes, your cell phone will probably be safer.

5. If your phones lose, you'd make optimum use of Find My Phone. Please refer to How to Find My Phone?

6. Have your browser set as Not Store Cookie Automatically. Cookies may record your passwords. If your phones are stolen, 

these data maybe leaked.

Steps: Settings (slide for the right)'Applicatins'Internet Explorer'Allow Cookies on My Phone (delete the tick)

7. When connecting Wi-Fi in public places, don't input any passwords because hackers are often to steal them through public Wi-Fi. Therefore, be a little more careful when free Wi-Fi can be obtained.

Apart from what are actually mentioned above, WP7 itself is rather safer. For developers and hardware manufacturers, the closed system somewhat gets a hindrance, yet it could effectively protect users personal data.
