Boot your Droid X into recovery mode

It’s always good to know how to get it into recovery mode. This little trick probably won’t be used much until the Android hacking/developing crowd gains root access to our new Droid X, but you might as well know about it now. And no, this won’t brick your phone.

Instructions…

1.  Turn your phone off.
2.  Hold down “Home” and press “Power” until the Motorola logo appears.
3.  Release  ”Power” and continue to hold “Home” until an exclamation appears.
4.  Release “Home” and press the “Search” button once.
5.  Your phone will now enter recovery.

To get out of it, simply use your volume up and down buttons until “reboot system now” is highlighted and then press the camera button.

Turn your Windows 7 Laptop into a Wi Fi hotspot

Connectify is a freeware tool that easily turn your pc or laptop running Windows 7 into a virtual Wi-Fi access point, a Window 7 supposed feature ability, but unfortunately Microsoft didnt include the feature in the final release of windows.

Connectify allows you to share the internet connection of your laptop with other users. It is also handy for keeping all your mobile devices connected from one internet source without having to rely on wireless routers. Just like any other Wi-Fi access point, you can set a login password with WPA2 Encryption to keep you safe and secure from any unauthorized connection.

Even without an active Internet connection, you can still run a Connectify hotspot. This provides wireless access to shared folders or drives on your network as well as the ability to play LAN games with others.

Download Here

Once installed, click on the Connectify logo in the Notification Tray.

• Choose a name for your new wireless network
• Choose a wireless password
• If the Mode box is visible, select "Access Point" if it is in the menu, otherwise, use "Ad Hoc".
• Click the large Start Hotspot button to turn on your wireless network
• Now, from your other devices, you can see your wireless network. Choose to join it, and enter the   wireless password to connect.
