10 Best Android Tricks Everyone Should Know

Android is the most used device and easy to operate that's why the most user loves it. It accounts for 86% share of sales of smartphones. The main reason behind it is it is open source, flexible, and highly customizable. Also, there are many applications available by the developers.

I am also an android user and we are going to explore some secrets which is available in your android device and you may or may not have known. This can make you look coolest among your gang and make much out of your device.

 

Following are some of the hacks.

1) Get the location of your lost/silent phone

Have you ever lost your phone? Sometimes we misplace our phone and what if our phone is silent. It is the most awful moment. There is the only way to get it back by using the google Find My Phone app. The most important part is that your Gmail/email account has to be logged in. So, whenever you lose your phone just type android.com/find in any browser and log in with the same Gmail account. Now you can see your device location and can erase all data remotely, lockdown it with a message, or make it ring loud(doesn't matter if the phone is silent). Provided that your lost device has an active internet connection and location is on.


2)Improve Game 

Want to turn out the maximum speed of the game and increasing its performance. Then you must try GLTools(graphic optimizer)app once. But for this, your device must be rooted as it required root permission. It let us squeeze better performance on a lower-end device by fooling it like you are using a different processor. It can also turn in your graphics for better visuals and better dynamic range in games.


3)Reduce lags

If you have a significantly old device with less memory then you might face lag and freeze problems while using it. Sometimes device becomes so much laggy so it can't work out the basic task like calling. This can be done by using the Seeder app. It generates the data and performs it every second. Then it feeds the data into a new random data pool and keeps refreshing it regularly. This results in faster app launches and lags free animations and better navigation.

 

4)Force Control the Orientation

In some devices, the charging port and headphone jack are on the bottom of the device. The user experiences it when the phone is plugged in or listening to music using wired earphones
while lying on the bed. In this case, the Adaptive Rotation Lock app is very useful.
It lets you manually set the orientation. It is also helpful for the certain device which doesn't support the default rotation system natively. 

 

5)Use the Navigation-Button as App Shortcuts

The navigation button can be used for something more than just going home and closing the app. The Button Mapper app provides the functionality to use the same buttons for triggering different applications and tasks. We can remap the keys and assign apps based on your actions like double-tapping the home button to open the camera etc. We also customize the volume button using the same.

 

6) See back Notification you swiped

Sometimes we clear notification without reading it and later we realize something important or something from the app which we don't know. Well if you belong to this category this one is for you. For this simply long press and hold the home screen and from the dialog box appears simply press the widget. Look for the Setting shortcut which will look like basic setting gear. Drag it to the home screen. Then search for "notification lag" and select it. After it, we can see the previous notification from all the apps.

Hack:  We can use this to see the Whatsapp message which has been deleted by the sender using the delete for everyone option.

 

7) Create your own Space 

There are many things on our phones which we want to keep personal. When you lend your phone you don't want others to interfere with your things such as messages or photos etc.
Now after you can create your own space on your android device. All you have to do is go to setting and then goto users. Add a user and give all the necessary details. Install all the applications that you want and then use them from the safety and security of this newly created personal space.


8)Monitor Your Heartbeats

All you need is to download the Instant Heart rate application. Once you have done installing all you need is to place your finger on the LED flash of your android device. And by doing so it will tell your heart rate instantly.

 

9)Encryption Mode ON

If you have sensitive data on your android device that you don't want to share with anyone, then this hack is for you. Make sure that before starting the encryption process your device is plugged in for charging as it takes a longer time. Go to settings and click on security, next step is to click on encrypt phone option. After this, your phone will start the encryption process instantly.
