SUMMARY
- If you are lucky to have a fresh version of Android, there you can find a menu option called “App Cloner.” It allows you to duplicate the desired applications with a single tap.
- By default, Google hides apps that enable you to download YouTube videos from its official store. However, there are plenty of third-party developer applications you can easily get!
- A special app can transform your gadget into a digital scale. Install this app, calibrate it with a small air cushion or any other object whose weight is known in advance (such as a coin) and you are ready to go!
- Want to read an e-book and use a dictionary at the same time without having to switch screens? To do this, open the right app, and hold the task list key (to the right of the "Home" button).
- To enable safe mode, you need to switch on your phone or tablet, press the power button again and hold it. When a menu appears, press and hold the onscreen “Off“ or ”Power Off" key. When safe mode option appears, click “OK.”
- The best solution is to download online maps to your phone and disable mobile Internet while leaving GPS switched on. Your location will still be displayed on offline maps, thanks to satellite data — without any cost to you.
- With the help of the NFC modules, built into many phone models, you can link your credit card to an account in the relevant system (Android Pay or Apple Pay). This will enable you to pay with your phone in any of the thousands of stores that accept contactless payments.
- Did you know that you can scan any document or photo with your smartphone camera? To take full advantage of this feature, you’ll need to download one of the special applications that will not only recognize the document but also save it to the cloud and send a copy to the intended recipient.
- With an application called Google Goggles, you can find anything you want! This app’s peculiarity is in the fact that instead of typing in your search queries you are using your smartphone camera!
- Thanks to One-Touch-Go (OTG) function, any modern smartphone can be linked to a peripheral device including another smartphone! To do it, you need to fit one phone with a USB female adapter and the second phone with a micro-USB cable. After the phones identify the cable and the adapter you can safely connect them.

    Another way to access safe mode is to power the phone off then press the power button briefly to turn it on while pressing both volume up and volume down at the same time. Keep them pressed until it has loaded. That worked on my S2. The other method did not.

    Safe Mode does not delete third-party application.. Safe mode main function is to pause third-party apps, so that a user can isolate a problem or bug with the device..

    Now I may connect iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 together to reproduce baby iPhone 9
  • I love the multi-window view tip! I didn't know Android phones were capable of this! I'm going to be switching back to Android from iPhone (I liked the iPhone experience, but I have the iPhone SE, and this recent update is probably the last it'll get, and I don't feel like paying $500+ dollars for a newer one,) now I'll be able to look something up on Google, or respond to a text while watching YouTube! Thanks for that tip!

  • The Narrator sounds like an infomercial speaker wanting to sell us knives that are 5000 x better at slicing cheese than conventional knivesand if you buy today you'll get the entire set for less than half price, just the lowly price of 8 installments of £200...
