Beware! Your Samsung Galaxy has a serious security flaw
Bank executive Jake lost his Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone while he was travelling to work. Though he did have important personal and official data on it, he is more upset about losing his expensive smartphone. His smartphone was had a device security and was locked with his fingerprint and he knows that nobody can unlock it without the fingerprint, backup passcode or his Google password. So if anyone has the device, it is almost useless for him to gain access to any content. Rest is the hardware, which is almost useless because even if the person who found the phone tries to reset the device using the recovery mode, he still cannot use the smartphone without the previously used Gmail account. Samsung Galaxy smartphones will not reset itself completely and will only allow to be reconfigured when the original Gmail account is set up. If the person knows the password, he can reset the device entirely and use the phone with a new account.
Yes it’s true. The new user cannot use the phone without the original user’s Google account details. If he has done this using the recovery mode, he cannot get anything in hand, not even the data. Indirectly, he is left with a dumb smartphone, unless he uses it for its parts. Well, though Jake is partially right, he has already lost the expensive smartphone to the new finder. The new user has managed to get past the device security and blank out the previous Google settings and use the device for himself with his own account. However, he does not have access to the Jake’s data.
Well, the above story is not a real-life incident, but the matter is true. An Android developer has demonstrated how one can easily bypass the device reset security with a simple OTG pen drive or cable. Check out the video which shows you how you can regain access to your smartphone if you are locked out of the fingerprint security, and don’t remember your Google password.
Can Separate Seema Movement Take Off ?
The simmering discontent among the Rayalaseema leaders over selection of Amaravati as the new capital of Andhra Pradesh State is likely to snowball into a movement for separate Rayalaseema state, but it is doubtful whether the movement can really take off, given the credibility of the leaders.
Of late, Opposition leaders like M V Mysoora Reddy, D L Ravindra Reddy and for that matter, even TDP leaders like T G Venkatesh and Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy have been talking about starting the separate Rayalaseema movement in protest against the injustice meted out to Rayalaseema region. Several YSR Congress party leaders, secretly supported by their leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, are coming out in the open in favour of separate Rayalaseema.
However, they have so far not able to generate any support from the local people. Given their role in the Samaikyandhra movement, there are absolutely no takers for their separate Rayalaseema talk now. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Friday dubbed the separate Rayalaseema movement as the joke of the decade.
“The leaders who are now heading the movement lost their credibility among the people of the State and they are slowly waning out of the public view. They have hence found a platform as part of their struggle for survival,” Minister for Information and Public Relations and IT Palle Raghunatha Reddy said.

Already looks of this iconic hero have become a huge hit with fans, as for the first time Rajnikanth is flashing his white beard and hair style. Right now an interesting titbit is doing rounds as far as this film is concerned. It is heard that Rajni’s Kabali is nothing but a desi version of Hollywood’s “Taken” movie In that film, a retired intelligence officer’s daughter gets kidnapped in Paris by human-trafficking gangs and then she gets rescued by her father.
Coming to Kabali, they are saying that Rajni plays the role of a retired don who is living peaceful don in India and when his daughter gets kidnapped in Malaysia, he returns to mafia to save her. They say that the film is based on Liam Neeson’s Taken that took box office by a storm, but it’s a copy with nothing like remake rights.
Anyway, these days Hollywood and other world movies are finding space in South films as Nagarjuna’s Oopiri and Kamal Hasan’s Cheekati Rajyam are based on two french films only. Let’s see what’s with Rajnikanth’s Kabali.
Cong Loss Is BJP Gain In Warangal ?
The arrest of former Congress MP Siricilla Rajaiah in connection with the suspicious death of his daughter-in-law along with her three children, seems to have come as a blessing in disguise for the Bharatiya Janata Party-Telugu Desam Party combine in the by-elections to Warangal Lok Sabha seat.According to political observers, the Congress party which had better prospects of wining the Warangal seat, lost its credibility completely after the Rajaiah episode.
The Warangal voters are agitated as to why the Congress high command had given party ticket to Rajaiah ignoring the repeated requests of his daughter-in-law Sarika. Though the Congress had changed its candidate in the eleventh hour by fielding Sarvey Satyanarayana, the damage was already done to the party and there are no takers for Sarvey now. The voters are now said to be looking towards BJP candidate who is non-controversial and educated person.
Though the TRS has fair chances in the elections, the TDP-BJP combine is now hopeful that the Congress vote bank will now split and tilt towards the BJP candidate, thereby increasing his chances of winning, say sources.
