<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">Have some great software apk files copied on your android mobile memory card and want to share it with friends? but every time you try to send apk file via Bluetooth with file manager or astro file manager or xplore it says file not sent.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The apk installation file sharing is blocked by android system for security and piracy reason.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>But here is the Solution.</strong></font></p>
<p><a href="http://chipbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/send-apk-file-android1.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="send apk file android1" border="0" alt="send apk file android1 thumb Send apk file via Bluetooth without rooting Android" src="http://chipbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/send-apk-file-android1_thumb.jpg" width="278" height="491" /></a></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Just open astro file manager its free you can get it through android market.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">Now choose the apk file you want to send and long press the file to get the popup menu click on the rename option and rename the file extension from .apk to .jpg and click ok.</font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000">as shown in the i</font><font color="#000000">mage below</font></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://chipbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/send-apk-file-android-without-root.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="send apk file android without root" border="0" alt="send apk file android without root thumb Send apk file via Bluetooth without rooting Android" src="http://chipbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/send-apk-file-android-without-root_thumb.jpg" width="278" height="491" /></a></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Now you can send that apk file via Bluetooth without any error. After sending the file go to file manager option or any other file manager on the device you have sent the apk file and just rename it from .jpg to .apk and your android apk installation file will be ready for use. ENJOY</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Download Astro file manager <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.metago.astro&amp;feature=top-free#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIwNSwiY29tLm1ldGFnby5hc3RybyJd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a>.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can’t run the game in Windows XP</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is a problem that cannot be solved. Just Cause 2 is a DX10/11 game and only supports Windows Vista and Windows 7. There is currently no way you can get the game to run under Windows XP (which only has DirectX 9). There are various hacks posted online but they simply do not work – do not waste your time on this if you have XP.</p>
<p><strong>Cant find XINPUT1_3.dll&#160; Error</strong></p>
<p>This error and most other similar missing DLL errors are usually triggered due to a non updated version of DirectX. Please download and install the latest version of DirectX and the error would most likely be gone <img src='http://chipbit.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Just Cause 2 crash fixes" class='wp-smiley' title="Just Cause 2 crash fixes" /> </p>
<p><strong>Installer issues, crashes, freezes or hang at launch</strong></p>
<p>Some of the most common issues people seem to be experiencing with this game seems to include the Just Cause 2 not launching after the main executable is clicked. Black, blank screens at launch or crashes to desktop have also been reported. One possible reason for such problems is a corrupted or incomplete installation. If you are experiencing such problems, we suggest you reinstall the game, this time running the installer as Administrator (Right click and choose ‘Run as administrator’). </p>
<p><strong>Update your graphic card driver to fix new game loading screen issue</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>On Windows Vista and Windows 7, when a non-admin privileged user tries to install something into Program Files, sometimes the OS directs the install location to the user’s VirtualHost folder. This is a safety feature but might cause issues with games such as Just Cause 2. Reinstalling and running the setup as administrator should fix this problem.</p>
<p>You can also try installing the game to a less restrictive folder than Program Files. If you are intending to play using a non administrator account, make sure to give the account full permission to the game’s install folder (Right click install dir -&gt; Properties -&gt; Security -&gt; Edit -&gt; Add -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Find now –&gt; Choose your user account and press OK to all open windows to save and close). Additionally, right lick JustCause2.exe and choose ‘&#8217;Run as Admin’ when launching the game as well.</p>
<p><strong>Disappearing civilians and vehicles</strong></p>
<p>Some people have reported that all civilian vehicles and civilians disappear after you play several hours into the game. This seems to be an actual bug and has been acknowledged on Just Cause 2 support forums. If this happens, all you need to do this to start a race – this should reload all civilians and vehicles in the area.</p>

<p align="justify">If you&#8217;ve ever been afraid of losing all that is good about Windows XP, you&#8217;re not alone. That&#8217;s why with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, you can download <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx">Windows XP Mode</a>.

<h5>2. Device compatibility</h5>
</p>
<p align="justify">I don&#8217;t have the time to tinker around figuring out how to make my devices talk to each other. Fortunately, with Windows 7, my devices work together without a lot of fuss. My phone, printer, and other PCs on my network connect and synch easily so I don&#8217;t get stuck spending a lot of time adjusting settings and troubleshooting connections.  </p>
<p align="justify">If you&#8217;re not sure about compatibility, you can visit the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Default.aspx?type=Hardware" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Windows Compatibility Center</a> to learn if your devices meet the criteria.  </p>

<h5>3. Location-aware printing</h5>
</p>
<p align="justify">My laptop makes me king of the road, until I want to print something: then I feel like a pawn on the highway. I think that&#8217;s why they designed Windows 7 with simplified printer settings. My Windows 7 laptop offers the ability to automatically switch the default printer when I move from one network to another—so my computer automatically prints to my home printer when I&#8217;m at home, and my work printer when I&#8217;m at work. This feature, called <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/location-aware-printing.aspx">location-aware printing</a>, is only available in Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate. <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/showcase/en/US/details/ecd8cbb1-7ef5-46bb-8afa-a0a4783aa66f">See it in action.</a>  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are five things I&#8217;d like to see the iPad incorporate, perhaps through the next update to the <a href="http://www.cnet.com/apple-iphone.html">iPhone </a>OS.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Wireless sync.</strong> The iPad is not a Mac. That means it doesn&#8217;t run the full iTunes client, so you can&#8217;t share music from another computer over your home network. Instead, like an iPod or iPhone, you must physically connect it to the computer on which your music is stored, then wait for the music to travel over the wire. This is, frankly, absurd. If you want me to use the iPad to listen to music in my home, don&#8217;t make me walk over to my computer and attach it every time I want to load some new tunes. Wireless sync would also be great for syncing other material like pictures, videos, and apps. How hard can it be? Microsoft&#8217;s Zune player has had wireless sync for three iterations and more than two years.  </p>
<p><strong>Cloud-based music service.</strong> Even if the iPad had wireless sync, the most affordable model has only 16GB of storage. This isn&#8217;t enough for most music lovers&#8217; digital collections, especially if they&#8217;re going to use the iPad for other functions like electronic books and photos. So how about taking that Lala acquisition and using it? Instead of having to load music onto the iPad itself, I could sync it from my computer to Lala&#8217;s online music locker service, then stream it over the Web directly to my device. Bye-bye, storage limits. Best of all, every time I update my music collection, it&#8217;s updated everywhere simultaneously. This is such a no-brainer I&#8217;d be stunned if Apple doesn&#8217;t make it available shortly after the iPad launches.  </p>
<p>&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong>Music-sharing with third-party apps.</strong> There are some surprisingly sophisticated DJ apps for iPhone, like TouchDJ and DJ Mixer, that let you play two songs at the same time and mix them together like a mulitrack DJ set-up. These apps would be much easier to use on the iPad&#8217;s 9.7-inch screen. But they all share one big shortcoming: they can&#8217;t just play songs that you&#8217;ve already loaded onto your device. Instead, you have to re-load songs into the DJ apps, either from a sync application running on your computer or over a Web server. This isn&#8217;t the fault of the app designers&#8211;it&#8217;s a limitation that Apple places on the iPhone and iPod Touch. I hope Apple figures out a way around it soon.  </p>
<p><strong>Queuing.</strong> I like to play DJ. As one song plays, it sparks associations with other songs. It would be nice to be able to load these other songs into a &#8220;now playing&#8221; queue. The Zune&#8217;s had this feature since its inception, but I can&#8217;t do it on the iPod Touch or the iPhone&#8211;instead, I have to wait for the current song to end, then start up a new song. (And no, I don&#8217;t want to do this with playlists on the computer and then sync those playlists to the device. That misses the entire point of spontaneity.)  </p>
<p><strong>Decent speakers (and amp).</strong> Naturally, the first thing I did with the iPad was check out its music playback. I could barely hear it, even with the volume maxed out. It&#8217;s true that the room was crowded with gadget fans scrambling for their first look at the device, but even so, the speakers sounded no louder than the iPhone&#8217;s. But this isn&#8217;t a phone. It&#8217;s also not a Mac, where music isn&#8217;t the primary focus for most users. It&#8217;s a consumer electronics device. It would be great if I could set it up in my living room or bedroom without having to attach it to another device. Peripheral makers might complain&#8211;iHome does great work creating audio accessories for the iPhone&#8211;but if this is truly going to be a new product category. </p>
