android phone hacks

The power-packed functionality and features make android the most flexible and popular mobile operating system ever. The excellent part is that it allows you to personalize the phone as per your needs. As such, there are much more customizations available on an android phone than you might have ever used or known. It is nothing short of a melting pot of creativity and technology that has enough potential to change itself as per its user’s needs.

Add the right apps from the Google Play Store, and your phone is ready to make your bid. On that note, here’s bringing you the top five android hacks that you must try.

1.  Use the System UI Tuner for Tweaking the Status Bar

If you are not fond of your present status bar or want to add or remove specific options, you no longer have to download third-party applications. You will find the hidden settings under the menu called system UI tuner. You will find the settings gear in the Notification toggle menu.

The gear icon will start turning around when you do this. A message will come up to confirm the enabling of the system UI tuner. The system UI tuner menu found in the settings app lets you specify the kind of icons you wish to see in the status bar, such as networks and orientation. You can change the same settings further to include notifications, Always on Display, and Do Not Disturb mode.

2.  Get Linux Installed On Your Phone minus Root

You can open Linux and the command prompt even from your android mobile phone. Getting Linux installed on an android phone is indeed a tedious job, and it usually needs root. But you can do it without any root or special skills and knowledge. You need the right app for installing Linux on an android phone, and you can get started after completing a few simple steps.

Linux is an operating system that lets the users install GIMP, LibreOffice, and several other crucial open-source software using advanced package tools. Get the Debian No root application from the Google PlayStore. Open it and follow the steps for downloading the full Linux package for complete and easy installation. You can try doing this on your brand new Huawei p smart 2020.

3.  Use Google to Track Your Android Phone

Losing a phone is an awful experience that you would never want to go through. Thanks to Google, you will never have to go through that experience ever again.

By adding your Google account to the Android phone, you can automatically switch on the ‘Find My Device’ function. In case you lose the phone, go to the link android.com/find from any browser and log in to your Google account. It should have Wi-Fi or mobile data and GPS on and be seen on Google Play.

Not only would you get to see the location of your android device, but you also get to remove all your crucial data remotely. Moreover, you can lock down the phone with a simple message or make it ring even if it is in a silent mode. If your device has internet access and the location is still on, you can instantly find your phone.

4.  Look Back At the Notification You Cleared

Did you clear all the notifications in a hurry only to realize that you might have missed out on something important? Everyone is guilty of making this mistake where the realization dawns right after you have cleared all the notifications. These days, any Android phone is chock full of apps, so opening each app to check the notifications once again is not possible.

The easiest solution for this situation is to long press and hold the home screen on the screen-adjustment mode. As you tap on the widgets, you will find the shortcut widget for settings. Bring this icon on the home screen, and that will get you a popup list. You will get several options on the popup list, such as memory, device battery, app info, and accessibility. Search for ‘notification log’ and click on it to recheck the notifications.

5.  A Simple Trick to Save Your Device’s Battery

You need to lower your Android phone display resolution and use the power saving mode to save battery. The high resolution will lead to heating and lagging issues while playing intensive games that stress the phone’s processor.

Going for a lower resolution than usual will help save your battery from being eaten by those additional pixels. Besides, always keep the home screen properly organized, clear all the notification alerts, switch off the vibration mode or sound when not used to boost battery life.

You will get built-in options for doing this on your phones, but you might need to download an app for other phones. There are plenty of apps on the Play Store to help you do the job.
