Enhancing Pictures taken from Mobile phones

Mobile Phones with camera are widely available, even inside the budget range of 5K, everyone uses it these days, however hardly any one enhances them. I am making this tutorial for everyone who wants to enhance their photos taken from mobile phone.

1) Make sure there is enough light in the area. Sometimes even if you are inside a room with tube light, the light is not enough for a Mobile Phone's camera, in that case, turn on night mode & reduce the white balance.

This means the tracker is having problems.
Either it is down and returning and error page, or is overloaded with requests.
Simply leave your client on for a while and see if the problem resolves it self.

'Connection refused : ......' or <Urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused">

This means that you cannot for whatever reason establish a connection to the Tracker needed to download a file.

By default, WindowsXP does not display all the programs you can add or remove.
To show this list:

Edit the \Windows\Inf\sysoc.inf file


In the Components section, simply remove the word hide.
This will leave two commas together (like on the rest of the items).
Then you can go to the Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs / Add/Remove Windows Components and the
new items will be displayed.

[Components]

Tip 6: Speeding Up Network Browsing:

There are a lot of things which can negatively impact how fast XP will browse network shares. One has been previously covered regarding browsing to Win9x computers. Other things you can try, especially when there is slow browsing to network shares with a lot of files:

  1. Remove current shortcuts in My Network Places.
  2. Change the registry so shared folders on remote computers are not automatically added to My Network Places
    when you even open a document from that shared folder
  3. Start Regedit
  4. Create a DWORD value:
  5. HKEY_Current_User \ Software \ Microsoft \Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \
    NoRecentDocsNetHood to 1.
  6. I have also seen setting the following help as well.
    HKEY_Current_User \ Software \ Microsoft \Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \
    UseDesktopIniCache to 1.
  7. Increase the amount of data is buffered at one time to send to a client. On the computer with the shared
    directory:
    1. Start Regedit
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl Set\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
    3. Create a DWORD Key called SizReqBuf
    4. Give it a value of Hex FFFF

Tip 7: Viewing Your IP Address Information

There are several ways you can determine your IP address information:
IPCONFIG

  1. Start / Run / cmd
  2. IPCONFIG /ALL
    This opens a command window. One advantage is that you can send the information to a text file (IPCONFIG /
    ALL > c:\ip.txt)
    But sometimes the window shows show much information you need to scroll around to fine it.
