While almost nothing can replace the conventional method of writing a journal by hand, times have changed. And with technology offering so much at our finger tips, here is a look at my top 3 diary apps.

#1 JOURNEY - Diary Journal

This is wonderful app as it is available for multiple platforms. What surprised me is it also comes as a Chrome plugin which is a plus! It also isn't a large application which uses a lot of memory, size is about 14 MB. The app is very clean and easy to use. The interface is very beautiful, attracting users to opt for it at first glance.

Here are some screenshots from the app:

#2  DIARO - Diary, Journal, Notes

Diaro is a app to organize and record your memories to sync then across devices like most journal apps.  You can filter your entries with tags, dates and topics, which makes searching easier. This application is available for android and ios platforms. As for size, the app is about 20 MB. But hat really attracted me to this app is it's availability in more than 30 languages for its users.

#3 DAY JOURNAL - Personal Diary

The Day Journal also provides features similar to the above mentions. But the interface of this app is sleek and modern.It also offers restore and backup options. Another wonderful feature is, it allows you to create stunning web pages complete with navigation, photos and interactive maps.

Check these apps out and let me know your experiences. ^_^

There are quite a few scenarios when your phone's power button doesn't work. For example, I had dropped my phone in the parking lot while getting out of the car. I immediately checked to see if my phone was functioning normally, but unfortunately, I had discovered that my power button wasn't working and my phone had no home button as such. My home, back and menu buttons were capacitive touch.

I now knew that the only way I could access my phone for usage was either when someone called me or if I received a text or if I plugged in the charger. And once I had reached home, I thought I can take out the battery, put it back in and try restarting the phone. To my disappointment, I realized I had made a mistake now there was no way to turn my phone back on.

Then it occurred to me that I could do a hard reset. So finally here is how you can boot/start your phone when your power button is damaged.

Step 1: Turn off your phone.



Step 2: Connect your smart phone's data cable to your laptop/computer.




Step 3: Hold down the volume rockers of your phone and connect the data cable to your phone.



Step 4: Hold the volume rockers for a at least 30 seconds after connecting the data cable.



Step 5: You will see a screen blink with two options - a. Boot b. Factory Reset

Step 6: Use the volume rockers to navigate and select the Boot option.

Step 7: Another screen will appear with three options - a. Fast Boot b. Normal Boot c. Recovery Boot




Step 8: Yet again using the volume rockers, select the Normal Boot option.

Step 9: You're Done!

Your phone should start up with its usual boot time. Hope this helps, this sure worked for me.

P.S. The options on boot during connection of data cable may differ from phone to phone. But are mostly the same because they are all running android OS.
