Andriod phones have undoubtedly revolutionized technology and its regarded as one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind. Since more or less everyone is using an android phone but you don’t know how much wonders can you do with that small phone in your pocket.

LOST YOUR PHONE? WANNA MAKE THE THIEVES PAY FOR THIS HEINOUS ACT?

Lost your phone? wondering how to prevent the thieves from further using that? Don’t worry we have got you saved. All you need is to block your IMEI number written at the back of your phone box from the concerned authorities so that they won’t be able to connect to the internet, surely not in this world. but what if you don’t have your phone box in which it arrived? Just Dial this code on your phone *#06# It will show you a 16 digit number. Just screenshot it and save it on your google drive to make the thieves taste their own poison in case it gets stolen

FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD? Need a quick fix?

If you think that taking your phone to a mobile repair shop if you have forgotten its password is the only thing then you might reconsider your choice after reading this one. If you ever forgot your password and have your data saved somewhere else and want to fix this, all you need is to follow these simple steps

Firstly Power off your phone. The next step is to our your android phone in recovery mode/bootloader mode. The technique to put your phone in recovery mode is different for different android versions. Usually, you can do that by pressing the power and volume up/down button at the same instant. Then your phone will load up like this

The next step is to do factory data reset and boom… there you go!!!

BUYING A NEW PHONE? PERFORM THIS QUICK TEST FIRST

Most of us purchase the phone just by reading the system specs while some don’t even fret to do that. Sometimes the phone comes with certain built-in problems like audio, camera, or touch system issues. To avoid that you must perform this test. For that, you need to put your system in testing mode. If you are a Samsung user you can test your phone by just dialing this code *#0# and it works for most of the phones.

NEED SECURITY ON INTERNET? HERE IS HOW YOU CAN DO THAT

Have you ever wondered if you try searching for some product on the internet you will find most of the ads on Facebook related to it? Google is actually spying on you and has an image of you according to what you search on it. Do you want some privacy? Alright here is a hack for it and it's our cute duckduckgo browser. The only browser in the world that is free of all those annoying ads like that of Google and no data breaches like google. I would personally recommend you all to use this instead of google because none of you will want to have google poking nose in your private searches

RUNNING OUT OF SPACE? NO NEED TO BUY AN SD CARD

If you are buying sd in 2020 then my friend you are a boomer! Gone are the days when people used to keep 4 to 5 sd cards to store their data. It the era of cloud computing. you can save everything from 200kb picture to your 10Gb apps or any software. In this estimation, I would still recommend not to use google drive because not only its short of space but also lacks privacy. Here is the app you should go go

Its MEGA.NZ an app that comes with a cloud storage space of 50GB!! Yes, you heard it right and you know what’s more exciting? This space can be upgraded to several TBs. So get rid of SD cards and upgrade to cloud storage.

TIRED OF PEOPLE CHECKING YOUR PHONE AGAIN AND AGAIN? WANNA HIDE YOUR DATA?

If you think using an app lock on your gallery folder and your apps are going to save you then you may be wrong!! People can easily see your app lock application and can delete that in a matter of seconds. Need something more powerful than this? don’t worry we have got you covered again. Here is how you can do that. All you need is to install the app named calculator+

yes, you heard it right! it opens with a calculator interface until you dial a specific code to access your saved media. It can also act as an app lock if you want to lock an app and the most legit thing is it will take the photos of intruders that will try to open that app again and again. Don’t worry you can’t uninstall it like any normal app lock. Let's keep that a secret.
