Skype Privacy Settings on PC

Posted by & filed under Tips.

I used skype on my iPad and I got some unwanted call even though the contact I have already blocked.

I just noticed that I didn’t set good privacy but I can’t find the settings directly on my iPad3.

Indeed, we need to go to skype on PC and set the privacy settings (Tools -> Options) completely all to:

people in my Contact list only

(by default, it accepted call from anyone!)

So don’t forget this settings if you are using skype on iPad or similar devices that cannot see privacy setting there.

There are about 6 Android Apps on Google play store related to Khmer dictionaries.

  • Phum Dictionary - 3 in 1 Dictionaries (KH-EN, EN-KH, KH-KH)
  • Chuon Nat Khmer-Khmer Dictionary
  • English Khmer Dictionary
  • English Khmer Phrasal Verbs
  • English Khmer Phrasal Verb [2]
  • Paid English - Khmer Dictionary

Beside going through to each app, I am first introduce Khmer language to some foreigners since when they come across the apps, some of them keep asking what is “Khmer”. I would first recommend you to read a wiki page about Khmer language, Cambodian language in speaking and writing system.

Taprohm English Khmer Dictionary is the largest and most word definitions dictionary for android phone.

It’s a paid dictionary, it’s not free. It’s too old app since April 9, 2011 and remain version 1.0.
It has overall rates of 21 and only 2.8 average rates there are many compains on this app.
If comparing to current free app, I don’t see why we need this one or I might be wrong?
But of course, I haven’t bought it so I don’t know detail about it, if you have it, please tell us about this dictionary in comment.

 

Conclusion

Per my opinion, I think per now, you can try Phum Dictionary which is 3 in 1 dictionaries so that you do not need to install many apps but if you prefer only one kind of dictionary, just try one another.

Of course, my presume should including as well for how many words are there in each dictionary but I could not find these info yet. I will update later if I found out.

Few days already on the news about Samsung firmware upgrades for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and of course, via SamMobile we can see they are rolling out for some countries already but just when will be officially in Asia, like in Cambodia?

Hope we can have it as soon as possible.

Samsung has just started to push Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the International Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. The Galaxy S II is the best-selling Android device of 2011 and has a very large user base that’s why Samsung keeps on updating this device with all the new Android versions as they want to provide the Galaxy S II users with their best support experience.

You might not be able to update your device to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean right away as the update is rolling out in phases. So, it might not yet be available for your country or network provider (If Your device is Carrier branded) but don’t worry the update will arrive soon.

In the history of software updates, the new Jelly Bean update by Samsung to the Galaxy S II is by far the most major update given to a smartphone yet. As we all know Samsung’s ICS update didn’t had any UI changes and had exactly the same UI which was in its Gingerbread  but this is not the case with Samsung’s Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update. The new jelly bean update breathes a new life into the Galaxy S II, Samsung has completely ditched the old UI and has given the new Nature UX Interface, which is the same as the one being used in the Galaxy S III Mini and the Galaxy S III, in its latest Jelly Bean update.

Some of the Enhancements in the new Jelly Bean Update:

  • Buttery Smooth Performance & Great Stability (Thanks to Project Butter)
  • Full User Interface Revamp (Same UI as of the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II)
  • TouchWiz Nature UX
  • Samsung’s S Cloud services
  • Improved Camera features
  • New Lockscreen With Many Customization Options
  • New Features like Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play
  • New Widgets (From Galaxy S III)
  • 2 Home screen modes
  • New Notification bar With More Notification Toggles
  • Google Now

All S2 Firmware info, you can find here but here is the fireware info of Jelly Bean:

Official Firmware Details:
Android Version: 4.1.2 – Build JZO54K
PDA: I9100XWLS8
CSC: I9100FOPLS3
MODEM: I9100XXLS8
Changelist: 816988
Build Date: 14 January 2013
