    A good "hidden" feature: You can use GL 2 SD to move the OBB files (data) of your gigabyte large games to the sd if your phone does not support moving the apps to sd. It requires root and so does Link 2 SD which does the same thing but this time with the apk. My phone has awesome specs but only 1.5 gb of internal space, using this app i have more than 20 games which take up 20 GB of my sd and the internal space is barely at 1.3 GB free. This was a life saver since it also allows me to install apps bigger than my maximum free storage directly on the sd

  • @whatintheworld7310
    @whatintheworld7310 Před 7 lety +3

    One option I do on all my android phones is switching off animations. This makes your phone respond a lot faster. To do this, go to developer options, and scroll down to the three types of animations. I switch all three of mine off, but you can speed up the animations also to keep your transitions but making them faster. Off is definitely the way to go though.

      Most don't know that you can use an Android program called Sygic to have instant access to GPS maps without any Cell phone data plan.
      Sygic stores maps on your Smartphone of all 50 states, Canada, and Europe, and when you activate the Sygic program and enable your GPS, it will give you not only your location on a map, but you can also use it to plan your trips and do all the things that you want to without using a Data plan.

    • @ItsTechTalkTime
      @ItsTechTalkTime Před 8 lety

      However Google maps isn't as helpful as other apps in NO data mode. As apps like Sygic can even do offline navigation.

    • @edwardhellwig4501
      @edwardhellwig4501 Před 8 lety

      Syrgic also uses a lot of memory especially if you're not traveling through all the states!!

      ***** Really!? If everyone is to make videos themselves; why would they even watch yours? You have posted your ideas/research! That's cool, but you are distracted from your topic. I'm sure you also know what I'm trying to make a point here; "Hidden Feature" and "Apps downloaded from App Store" is different

    • @caycekelley5728
      @caycekelley5728 Před 8 lety

      Playing on a PS4 doesn't make you a hardcore gamer. It takes a bit more than that. The thing is, if you only play, say, casual FIFA, then you aren't a hardcore gamer.
      Also, you said the combat LOOKS stupid, implying you haven't tried it, and you wouldn't know if you like it or not.

    • @ItsTechTalkTime

      Anant Negi It might not have much replay value, though it's also a 70 hour game, so that doesn't matter too much.

    Best way to switch between apps, is to just use the menu button. Then you can switch between as many apps as you want without backing out. Also, I never select the "Do not keep activities", because then have the option to leave an app by pressing home button, and select another app, then use menu button and select the previous app, to go right back to where you left off. If you want to clear the activities, you can just use that same menu button, and clear all, or select what to clear from the list. Some phones are different, so it may just be a tap to get there, or on some phones you long press the menu button.

    You have done pretty great work out there Mr "HowtoMen". No offense but those are rookie tricks that every android user would know if they try to spend a little more time to know their phones. But still android has lot of surprises. I m just hoping for more surprises from you..... :D

    Another little feature that's everyone doesnt know it maybe: air touch. The new samsung has an air touch sensor, but if don't have an high end samsung or android without air touch, you can download an apps called air touch. They use the sensor to turn off screen while calling as an air touch. Some features are like, when you swipe your hand near the sensor (on top of your phone near front camera) the flashlight will be turn on, or you can accept a call without touching the screen, just put your phone near the ear.

    Some stuff good to know, since you went back and dubbed your video, I think it would have been best to video the cell phone close-up and without the movement so some of us could actually see the screen which would be helpful. I understand you wanted to be visually interesting by moving your camera around the phone but you could have still achieve this after a few moments close up of the cell screen and you could have done lots of things in post production, but I think it was important to show a close-up of the screen first. And yes I appreciate that this was a run-on sentence.
