Smart phones basically android phones are become more and popular in every day. Well these are some cool tricks for android smart phones...
1) Phone testing:
- Open the dialer.
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- You'll be taken to the testing menu.
- There are four options 1) Phone information, 2) Battery
information, 3) Usage statistics and 4) Wi-Fi information
- Phone information: You'll get all the information related to
your network and you can manually change the network modes, toggle VoLTE, Wi-Fi
calling, etc. You'll have lots to explore.
- Battery information: Here you will get some basic
information about your phone battery like Battery status, Battery voltage,
Battery level, Battery temperature etc.
- Usage statistics: Under this menu bar you can find last
usage application in your smart phone.
- Wi-Fi information: you will get all the information related
to you phone Wi-Fi likeWi-Fi API, Wi-Fi config and Wi-Fi status.
2) Make use of the camera2 API:
This API(for android
lollipop and above) helps you to manually control every setting of your camera,
like exposure, focus, shutter speed etc.You need a camera app like Manual
Camera or L Camera to use this feature.But you need this enabled by your OEM or
you should be on a custom ROM.
3) If you get unknown notifications on your phone:
Long press
the notification and it will show you which app it's from.
4) Sync your contacts to a Google account:
Syncing to a
Google account prevents your contacts getting lost during Factory reset or if
someone tries a "Select all and Delete".
5) Make you phone appear fast:
Go to Settings>Developer
Options and change the animation scales to 0.5x.
7) Ever wanted to score high in the Lollipop Easter egg game:
Go
to Settings>Developer Options and change the animator duration scale to 5x
or more! Happy Scoring!!
8) Get more out of your Battery on Android:
Turn off
Mobile Data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Sync and GPS when you're not using them. If
you have Phones with OLED Displays, Go for Black/Dark themes and wallpapers.
Also turn off Vibrate on tap in settings>sounds. And, You surely need to
give Greenify a try if you think battery juice is precious.
9) Use ES File Explorer:
Ever had WhatsApp audio playing
in between your music tracks? Open WhatsApp audio folder using ES File
explorer, create a new file and name it as .nomedia . That's it! Too many apps
on your phone that you use less often? Backup them as APK using ES and install
them whenever required. Do lots and lots more with ES! I recommend using an
older version of ES, the newer version is totally bloated (and also not that
safe)!
10) Never charge your phone:
when it is hot Heat is never good for the
battery.
See what the flash on your phone can do: Double it as a
Heart Rate Monitor, Get a Heart Rate monitor app(I prefer Runtastic, There are
other choices too.). I don't know how much accuracy this has so don't blame me
if you get something wrong!
11) Ever wondered why the proximity sensor stops WhatAapp audio
from playing?
When you start playing a WhatsApp audio, the proximity
sensor is turned on so that if you place your phone near your ear the audio
will be routed to the earpiece!(and it stops playing when you take your phone
away from your ear)
12) GB whatsapp or WAMOD for whatsapp gives you lot more
customization options:
They allow you to get a toast message when someone
is online, freeze your last seen, change the look and feel of the WhatsApp app
etc. These apps are from third parties and you can never trust them, I don't
encourage the use of these apps as they are illegal.
13) Do you wish to have Notifications on your lock screen?
Kitkat(Android
4.4) users. Try AC Display. It's an awesome app which shows you the time and
notification when you turn the screen on. The app is no longer maintained I
think, But still seems to be very useful.
14) Instagram users:
Use a tracker app (like
InstaFollow or TrackGram), you don't need to follow those Unfollowers anymore!
