Facebook “Your Account is Temporarily Locked” Reasons:
*. Facebook is making an improvement in some of their database and accounts got locked if that database includes your account.
*. Facebook detected suspicious activity and has temporarily suspended your account due to security precaution.
*. Facebook has detected your account as a spam or been reported for abuse.
*. Facebook detected randomly different devices used in opening your Facebook account.
*. Facebook detected that someone recently tried to log into your account from an unrecognized device or location.
Steps to Unlock Temporarily Locked Facebook Account
For security reasons your account is temporarily locked and below are the steps on how to unlock it. When I experience this problem Facebook provided me with two options on how to unlock my Facebook account. Below are the options that you can use to verify and unlocked your temporarily locked account.

Confirm through your mobile phone.
This option is easy provided that you have with you, your mobile phone you have used to verify your Facebook account when you signed up. You just have to type in your mobile phone number and Facebook will send you a code that you need to enter to verify and unlock your account.
Verify that you are the ownerof this account, by identifyingthe people tagged in the following photos.
This is the option that I choose as I did not have with me the mobile that I used in verifying my Facebook account. To unlock your Facebook account, you have to identify the photos of your friends. To confirm your identity and verify that you are the owner of the account, you need to identify the people tagged in on the following photos that Facebook will be showing. You need to determine five photos correctly to verify and unlocked your Facebook account. Facebook did provided 2 skips (lifelines) you can use incase you do not know who is tagged on the photo.

1. Confirm your identity by answering correctly all the tagged photos. Facebook provided a multiple type answer selection where you can choose your answer.
2. After answering correctly all the tagged photos you need to create a new password.
3. You will then be greeted by an “Account Verified – Congratulations!” notice. Click on the Continue button.
4. Facebook will let you add a new email or use your current email account as your loginemail.
5. You will then be asked if your email is secure. You can click on “Continue” or click on “Change Email” to change your current email.
6. Facebook will let you review you applications. Facebook will list recently added application in your Facebook account (if any) and let choose whether to remove them or not.
7. Set a new security question. Choose a security question and type in your security answer.
8. Done. Your Facebook account is finally unlocked. You can now proceed in logging in.
Upon doing the final step, you may now login in your account, just enter your login credentials and the new password that you have set. You can also turn on some extra security features like browsing Facebook on a secure connection, and send an email when someone logs into your account from an unknown device.
Seems like Facebook security features is targeting and pruning out fake Facebook users as normally fake users just add friendswithout really knowing them to increase the friend numbers. While steps on how to unlock your temporarily locked account on Facebook seems tedious, I think that it is beneficial as it let users more personal and make their Facebook profile account, their “real Facebook account”. Hope this guide helped you learn how to unlock temporarilylocked Facebook account . Come and share your thoughts and opinions about this Facebook security feature with the commentsection below.

With more tablets arriving on the market, how do you choose which is best for you?
Here’s our quick and easy guide to choosing your perfect tablet.
1. What operating system does it run?
There are various different operating systems available for tablets.
By far the most popular is iOS - the Apple option found on the iPad and iPhone. Many of the tablets due out during 2011 will run Android 3.0 - a new purpose-built version of the Google-backed operating system found on many phones. See our article What is Android? for more.
Other operating systems are on tablets from Blackberry and HP. Although there are some tablets that run Microsoft’s Windows 7, this operating system isn’t specially designed for tablet use but Windows 8 is looking increasingly tablet-friendly.
For more on tablet operating systems, check out Tablet operating systems compared.
2. How big is the screen?
The screen size is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding which tablet is best for you. Obviously, the size of a tablet that you go for depends on just how comfortable you are with the various sizes – or how portable you need it to be.
The iPad 2′s screen is identical to the original iPad at 9.7-inches, mostly because it proved such a popular size. Many of the new Android 3.0 tablets are bigger with 10.1-inch displays.
However, some smaller options exist – 7-inch is another popular size; the Dell Streak
7 and Blackberry Playbook are good examples. Smaller tablets do exist but there’s a thin line between a 5-inch tablet and a smartphone.
3. What processor does it run?





ARM

All tablets are based on ARM processor technology – the same as virtually all mobile phones. Different companies have produced their own versions of the ARM chip design and many of them are now dual-core, like a lot of PC processors.
Apple’s iPad 2 runs the Apple A5 chip, while Android 3.0 tablets generally use Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor.
You can read more about the technology in different tablets in Tablet tech explained.
4. Do you need a 3G tablet?
All tablets support Wi-Fi so you can wirelessly connect them to your home network. However, many tablets come in two versions. And, as well as Wi-Fi, one of those versions will also support 3G so you can put a mobile internet-enabled SIM card into it and use the internet while on the move.
The 3G versions are generally more expensive and you also have to have to sign up to a data contract. The good thing about this is that many stores offer tablets at subsidised rates just like they do with mobile phones.
5. Does it have cameras?





Cameras

The new iPad 2 has two cameras, as do many Android 3.0 tablets. The purpose of the front-facing camera is for video-calling so you can use Skype or apps such as Google Talk. The rear-camera can be used to take pictures or, as on mobile phones, video.
Indeed, many tablet cameras are capable of taking 720p high definition video, so check that out if it’s important to you. Most new tablets have two cameras too – but it’s worth checking out before buying.
6. How many apps are compatible with it?
The Apple App Store has the most apps, with over 300,000 now available. The iPad 2 runs almost all of them but there are around 65,000 specially designed for the iPad. For Android, there are only a couple of thousand 3.0 apps, but still they cover all the main bases. Older Android apps also work on Honeycomb though.
Other operating systems also have app stores, but they are small in comparison. However, for all but the most obscure operations you should still find apps to do what you need.
7. How much storage space does it have?





storage

How much storage you require depends on what you want to use your tablet for. 16GB is more than enough for storing a load of music and photos, but large applications and HD video require a lot more memory.
If you’re not going to store a lot of music or video, the smaller sizes will be fine. The iPad doesn’t have a memory card slot but many of the other tablets have microSD/microSDHC slots, so you can expand the storage.
8. Can it connect to your TV set?
Many tablets can also connect to monitor displays and televisions via an HDMI cable. This is great if you have video content on your tablet that you can then play on the bigger screen.
If this is important to you, look for a full-size or mini-HDMI output, available on many different tablets such as the Motorola Xoom. You will need to buy a cable to connect your tablet to the TV. In the case of the iPad 2, there is a special kit (pictured) for connecting your tablet to an HDMI display. The catch is that it’ll cost you an additional £35.
9. How thick is it and how much does it weigh?





Apple ipad

While a lot of noise has been made about the iPad 2 weighing just 601g and being 8.8mm thick, other tablets more than hold their own.
It’s no longer the thinnest or lightest – the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 weighs 595g and is 8.6mm thick.
The 7-inch Blackberry Playbook is a mere 9.7mm thick and weighs just over 400g as it’s smaller. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, meanwhile, is 10.9mm thick and weighs a mere 599g, while the Motorola Xoom is surprisingly heavy at 730g.
Weight and thickness is more of an aesthetic concern than anything else, but if you’re going to be holding your tablet for a long period of time (or in one hand) you’ll certainly start to notice heavier models after a while – ditto if you’re going to be carrying it around in a small bag.
10. Do you actually want a laptop?





laptop

Don’t get us wrong, we think tablets are amazing. But while there are productivity applications – like word processors and spreadsheets available – as well as image editing tools and online apps like Google Docs, don’t expect miracles from a tablet in terms of work.
A tablet can be a great addition to your tech armoury, but it can’t replace a full-blown Mac or PC with powerful desktop software. Replacing a netbook- now that’s a different matter. Tablets really are a whole new category of computing.

ears back, buying a mobile device is something that only the well-off ones can do, considering the hefty price tag of these portable gadgets. For those who are a little low on cash, they either settle on buying secondhand Android mobile devices or cheaper ones that suit their budget. After all, they assume that although the price difference can be quite obvious, the quality is not that far from pricier ones. Well, not exactly. The truth is, cheaper Android devices hardly give you the best value for your money – and this is something that penny-pinchers out there need to know.
So, before you make a major mistake of saving some cash by relying on poor quality and cheaper devices, you may want to take a look at these top reasons why you should never buy a low-cost device.

10. Poor-Quality TouchScreen Technology

TouchScreen Technology of Android device
Most types of affordable Android devices come with low–quality touchscreen that will fall way below your expectations. With resolution that is much lower than 480 x 320 pixels, you can expect images and text to appear completely fuzzy and barely readable. What’s more, these cheap devices are prone to responsiveness issues, so expect them not to function as efficiently as you want them to. It is also not surprising to encounter dead pixels that add to your stress in trying to decipher what appears on the blurry screen.

9. Slow Performance

Nothing can suck the fun more in anything than having a device that functions slowly. Unfortunately, this is what you can expect from a low-cost and poor quality Android device. Instead of getting hooked in your online games, you may end up keeping the device and taking a nap because slow performance can get quite boring. These cheap devices come with a single-core processor that is clocked below 1 GHz, and their GPUs are not capable of running most of the graphically-advanced online or offline games today.

8. Barely Sufficient RAM

It’s one thing that your device performs at a snail’s pace, but it’s another problem when it lacks enough hardware to run essential apps for your everyday needs. If you decide to save on cash, you will lose your chances of getting the best apps that are meant to take a hold of the superior processing power of future smartphones. So, if you lack the hardware that you need now, just imaging the major setback you are bound to experience in years to come. In fact, inexpensive Android devices have only about 512MB (or even less) RAM. When you download apps that require more RAM than that such as the Google Play apps, then you will start experiencing problems and dissatisfaction with your device. What does this mean to you, then? You can expect to buy another device within a few months, and that means wasting your money on nothing.

7. Cheap Materials


Some people prefer mobile devices made of steel and glass instead of plastic since the latter vary in terms of durability and overall appearance. If you want to make your smartphone last at least a couple of years without unsightly dents and scratches, then you might as well be wishing for the moon when what you have is a device made of cheap plastic. Just one bump, and you can expect your phone to get a nasty scratch or dent that is impossible to hide. On the other hand, high-end Android phones can resist wear and tear much because they are made with scratch-resistant and even waterproof components. Cheaper ones will start showing signs of its poor quality in a few months, and it is not impossible for you notice squeaking sounds the moment you drop your phone the first time.

6. Zero Updates

Android Update Error for higher version
Cheaper Android devices barely offer any Android updates, which means you may as well be using a smartphone that is way behind in terms of features and performance. Most smartphone manufacturers can send updates a little later even with their high-end models, but you can stop expecting these updates to reach you when you own a budget-friendly device. Well, unless you are fine with zero updates, then having a cheaper phone might suffice. Keep in mind, though, that this means not being able to maximize your benefits from your smartphone, which is a terrible drawback on your part.

5. Poor Specifications

Naturally, you cannot expect your smartphone to have all those functional and impressive specs when it stays outdated. In addition, its exterior matter as much as its interior features, so to put it simply, there is not much you can do with a low-cost device.

4. Subsidization of the Carrier

Most high-end Android smartphones cost as much as $250 and backed by a 2-year contract for the carrier. Although the price for unlocked Android phones is about $600, you may even qualify for a $400 discount in some sellers. However, a cheaper smartphone priced at $100 or under may come with a $200 discount. This feature does not apply with unlocked low-priced phones, though, which can be a huge concern for most buyers.

3. Missing Apps

One of the main reasons why people buy a smartphone is because of the apps. Unfortunately, you are bound to encounter missing apps on a cheaper device, which means you may have to settle not having any apps for Gmail or Youtube, to name a few. To make things worse, it may be impossible to install on a branded phone the Android Market when it has been modded and tweaked to exclude this feature.

2. Security Risks

Security Risks
A serious concern about modded smartphones with a cheaper price is their security risk since there are numerous grey-import mobile devices everywhere. Alternative app stores for Android also fail to check for malware, so you can expect to receive malicious apps when you download anything on your device.

1. Contain Pre-Installed Third Party App Store

If you buy a cheaper device, it is likely to have a pre-installed Chinese third party apps store (since most cheap smartphones may be bought in Chinese gadget malls). These phones may also come with an Android version that can be impossible to remove, and this adds to your disappointment in using the device.

So, still got your heart set on buying a cheaper Android device? Hopefully, this post on what you can expect from a low-quality and inexpensive device will help you make a better choice that is worth your time and money.
