Hi. Is there a genuine solar battery application that can charge the battery of my android phone when am away from electricity? Please suggest. I searched in Google Play Store and I'm not yet successful.
 
No, no app can do that.

If the phone doesn't have a photovoltaic panel (hardware) then no software can magically provide that capability.

I'm never sure whether these apps are a joke or a con, but those are the only 2 possibilities.
 
Hadron, Thanks for information. I recently downloaded two solar battery charger android Apps from play store, I did as they instruct, turned on placed my android phone outside where there's sunshine but after sometimes no charger on my phone. I've been wondering why it didn't work. Other apps that have not worked for me include Internet speed booster, battery doctor, 2G to 3G internet converter, Avast antivirus etc. So all these are fake Apps from Play store.
 
Avast! is a genuine security app. What features are not working for you?

Battery Doctor is snake oil from a scummy company. Internet speed booster and 2G to 3G are claiming things that are not possible.

Avast works. What is it that you think it does but didn't do? I've used it before. It is indeed able to detect known malware and the anti theft features work.
 
@chanchan5 sometimes back a malware had installed its self on my android as a system App, the Avast antivirus could detect it but could not remove it.
 
If the malware is installed as a system app then no app can remove it unless you are rooted. That's not a failure on Avast's part, it's just not possible for a non-privileged user to remove system apps.

(The malware presumably exploited one of the same vulnerabilities that "rooting apps" use to gain root in order to install itself that way).
 
I rooted my phone and I successfully got rid of that malware that had installed as a system App. I downloaded iroot App that rooted my android phone. right now when I use root checker from Google Play store it confirms that root is successfully installed, however there's consern as i've later realised that the iroot App that I downloaded is chinese and times when I turn internet/wifi on an advertisement ID pops out and fills the entire screen, such that I can't close the ID. I have to switch off the screen so that the Id goes away. Anyway (App) to unroot/ uninstall root ? So that I can install iroot App from Play store. The one I have currently I got it through Google search.

True that. You're probably looking for something like THIS.

That's the same charger that is listed on the page I linked to which had more stuff....

I know they show it with a solar panel on it, but, that small of a panel is going to need a heck of a LOT of sun to recharge a 10 AH battery back to full charge.... and then, in the winter time, it is doubtful that much sun will be available anyway.

Still, I suppose if you were stuck on an island or in the back woods..... it might be your only choice. :)
 
I don't know what "iRoot" is, but if the phone is rooted do you need the app any more?

My Mum had a camera with a solar panel covering it so it could recharge that way, and the instruction manual explicitly told you not to attempt to recharge it in a microwave! This particularly impressed me because I wondered how many people there were who knew the connection between microwaves and light (i.e. that both are electromagnetic radiation/photons) and yet not know what happens when you put electrical items in a microwave oven and turn it on...

@ mikedt Thanks for the reminder, indeed i've tried to provide feedback to iRoot but nothing is forthcoming. You've talked about
tools that enhance user
experience when using the
Software, unfortunately, I find none that helps me get rid of advertisement ID when internet is turned on.

@Hadron, "Iroot" is an android Application that rooted my android phone to the current root state.
 
Yes. Thing is, once a phone is rooted you don't normally need the tool that you used for rooting any more (the changes it's made, yes, but not the thing that made them). So I was wondering whether there was actually any need to have it on your phone (since I'm not familiar with it, so don't know that it's played some dodgy trick where it's tied root access to keeping the app on the phone), or whether you can just remove it now?
