Twitter one of the most popularly used social networking site where users get to interact with each other and their beloved celebs. If you are one of them, you must have noticed a "Verified Profile" badge on profiles of celebrities, popular figures, politicians,etc. With that a natural thought of getting the same Twitter Verified profile badge on your own account comes in your mind, but where to start for that? Without giving any false impressions, It is not easy or a one click form form to be filled for having a chance for this, its a different case.

The basic criteria that Twitter lists in their own help article says ,"Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.

We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future."

Steps to get Twitter verified account

The best way discovered for this very purpose is interlinking of your Twitter account and your own website. Yes in addition to being popular and active, not at all by number of followers, this is a very important criteria. If you happen to have a personal website for you, then you can simply use the Twitter follow button on your website. With that there are more chances of proving your identity and hence qualify for the badge.

I can cay this method would be the best based on the search results shown by Google. This is possible if users link their Google+ profile with their websites and vice-versa and in turn Google awards them with authorship markup in search results. Though it does not get you a verified Google+ account, instantly but yes there are some good chances for that too.

So to sum up this article here is what you must know and read-

1) The verification process is done regularly by twitter especially for popular personalities in order to prove their identity and not allow users to interact with a false account.

2) If you are concerned about your privacy and your Twitter account is not public, well there is a Big no for a verified profile badge.

3) Get your account linked from your official website or company website. Also list your website/the same page on your Twitter account too.

4) Remain active!

5) If you are an influential person, you can talk to your sponsors, advertisers or some one from twitter to get the process favorable for you.

6) If you are a normal users, well its rather impossible. Better keep on using Twitter for fun.

Just a few days back i wrote a benefit of Facebook's Android application in accessing accounts that are locked due to Login approvals issue and today i'll be writing about the Latest update that has been rolled out for Facebook for Android.

Yesterday's update brings 1.9 version of Facebook for Android with a major introductions that allows the users to share the messages and photos from the Home screen.

I was waiting to get this update from past night but was not seeing it but then the only for you to get this new version is to uninstall and install it again, You would most probably get the latest version of the application on your device as you can see in my above screenshot.

The Other Major improvements included in this version are as follows -

• Improved performance and various bug fixes
• More messaging features like creating group messages and adding friends to existing group conversations
• Shortcuts to share photos and messages right from your home screen

When i upgraded to the latest version i really felt a change in speed and better management with my device.

I have no doubt if Facebook would make it very closer to its Desktop version in coming time.

Facebook last year a new feature which was considered very simple to 2 Step verification from Google to enhance the security of Facebook users and provide them another option of preventing their accounts. The functioning of this was intended to be very same whenever you will login from a new device you would be send a new code which you will have to enter from your text messages and proceed.

Once you setup this on your account you would consider yourself safe and pretty happy that your facebook account is secure very much and no can access to it without you. I thought the same few days back when my whole scenario about this feature changed .

Before proceeding let me tell you that how it is different from Google 2 Step verification . In case of Google 2 SV if you ever loose your Phone or a saved device Google has always provided 10 codes at the time of setting up 2SV which you can use in such a situation and get back access to your account. There is a alternate number you can use in such a case as well or even get back it through your alternate email address.

Alright let's move to Facebook , You setup Login Approvals and all tensions of securing your account is away, Is it ? Have you ever thought if you lost access to your phone/not getting approvals code + no saved device , Any ideas how to get out of that loop ?

                                

I happened to be stuck in the same situation and being a geek well i was bound to figure some things that may help my readers and help them as well, So read below for how to solve if you are facing this issue as well and want to access Facebook as well -

1) Facebook for Android - Yes if you are an Android user and have ever happened to login and use Facebook for Android then you can use this application for checking your account and seeing all activities.

2) Facebook for iPhone -  If you are on iOs and have ever happened to login and use Facebook for iPhone/iPad then you can use this application for checking your account and seeing all activities

Disadvantages of this method - You will not be able to turn off Login approvals using this and hence bound to use on a Mobile Device which is of-course you will not want, So what to do ? Need not worry the best and the solution which worked for me is coming below.I know how many people are lazy and would not use the option but desperation of getting back may make you use this and ultimate way would surely work.

Solution is here

You have to File a report to Facebook by using the Contact Form. Yes many of you would have ignored or misunderstood this option and might have even claimed on its working, But here is how i did it!

• Move to the Facebook Login Approvals File a Report.
• Provide your Full name exactly matching your account and your carrier name.
• Explain the whole issue, Try to be accurate and make sure you provide all details.

Now after this keep checking your email inbox. Facebook will send you a email with subject line "Facebook Login Approvals Issue" and ask for your valid id's which you would need to provide in reply to the email to get back your account. Then facebook will examine and remove hold of your account and Yeah you are back in your account. Check my email screen-shot for Proof.

What to do after getting Facebook back?

Move to Settings-Mobile and remove your Mobile and you are out of this loop.

So definitely this is something Facebook needs to look at and solve to avoid other users from entering into this loop. Definitely Google is much better when it comes to managing security.

If you are still stuck and face some other issues feel free to comment and i'll try my best to guide you. Share this as it can help someone as well.

When i called customer care i was informed that Tata Docomo is doing some kind of Testing with Opera Mini or vice versa and all Tata Docomo customers will not be able to use till April 13 ,2012 .

They have promised to fix the issue by April 13 and that is the deadline the support has . I tried my best to dig down into but they reverted most times with saying there is some problem from back-end and we all would have to wait till April 13 to get back to use Opera Mini .

I was trying to solve the issues with all basic troubleshooting steps before contacting them as even i was unable to use it on my Android but now we have no choice to wait .

Basic Troubleshooter Steps even after the due date this issue is not fixed -

1) Clear your browser cookies and cache .
2) Remove the Browser and Re-install it again .
3) Check your Internet settings and make sure you have selected "TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET" as APN for browsing the web .
