NetQin has come up with a new application for Android devices called as Hide and Seek which is designed as a simple “deleting application” to protect users’ privacy over their history of calls and text messages, to avoid those nosy people from being able to see who was recently contacted from the device.

The application allows users to quickly and easily delete call logs and/or text messages between the device and the selected contacts, with a simple select and delete process.

When opened, the application lists out the name (or contact number if name was not previously stored), along with the number of text messages and previous call logs that are stored in the phone.

The settings in the program can be set to delete only text messages, only call logs, or to delete both.After the user selects who he/she would want to delete history from, a simple touch of a button instantly deletes all the contact history between the device and the selected contact.

In the default menu, there is also a simple one-touch button that allows users to instantly delete all contact history from the device, swiping it clean of all call and text history.The application can be downloaded from Android Market

So some apps tend to continue to work in the background thus using up the quite essential power resource. This results in the draining of the battery quickly which is a concern for most smartphones either way.

So a quick solution to this is the Advanced Tasks Killer. This app is a one stop button to kill all the apps currently running on your android phone.

It just takes 3 easy steps to kill the apps. Acess the ATK, select the tasks that you want to kill and kill the apps. This is much like the Task manager in Windows.

And no this isn’t a serial killer, rather it kills the apps in parallel. Developed by Rechild you can visit the developer website at http://rechild.mobi and download the same.
