How to force exit or close WhatsApp

This post will show you how to force exit or close WhatsApp application running on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. WhatsApp is a great mobile messaging application that runs on  iPhones, Androids, Blackberry and Nokia. For those who does not have a data plan, running WhatsApp can be very expensive. It is also drains battery pretty fast while the application is running in the background. WhatsApp cannot be turn off. The "Exit" button in WhatsApp does not turn the application completely off. It will seems like it is turn off but it is still running in the background. WhatsApp will always maintain connection (by force!) by going through your available 3G, EDGE amd WIFi connection presets to connect without notification.

This is how i force exit or close WhatsApp from running (even background process) on my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
  1. Install NetQin Mobile Guard 3.0 for Symbian and run the application.
  2. Click on OS Scan and NetQin will display a report after scanning your phone.
  3. Go to "Auto-start apps" to disable WhatsApp from auto start whenever the phone restarts.
  4. Go to "Memory usage" to close currently running WhatsApp application.
  5. WhatsApp is now completely turned off.

    Yeah, it works. But then I have to live with NetQin open, which also consumes memory...

Mounting NFS share directory from D-link DNS 320L on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Image
Seems like the steps on how to get the NFS mount point from the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server were not properly documented in their user manual. After setting up and enabled the NFS service on the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server, I went ahead to setup and mount the share directory/folder in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS assuming the mount point in NAS was /Volume_1/... but that is not the correct mount point to start with! Found this answer from D-Link forum post from a member (ba43123) that helped me to correctly mount the NFS share directory/folder on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: After spending most of the last hour on the phone with D-Link Technical Support, I came away with the recommendation to take my Mac (which has successfully connected to a number of NFS shares in the past) to Apple to determine if the network settings for NFS are correct.  This is mostly due to the fact that the people who are taking the calls have no information about NFS in their scripts and Knowledge Base so they are at a total loss in
