3 most useful android tips and tricks
Android is awesome. With the user-base of more than a billion people, it is by far the most used and the most popular mobile operating system. Every year we see tons of smartphones launch in the market which eventually leads to an increase the number of people who use this OS.
Android has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. I have been using Android device for last 4 or 5 years. And after spending that much time with it, I’ve learned a lot of tricks and tips to improve my experience. In this article, I am sharing 3 of those simple and useful tricks. Read on to learn something awesome.
1. Set Default USB Connection Type In Android Marshmallow
If you are using Android Marshmallow for a while you must have realized that when you connect your phone to a PC via data cable, the default setting is charging only. To transfer files you have to pull down the notification menu and select the MTP or PTP protocol. Did you know that you can change the default setting from charge only to any other protocol? To do so you must enable the developer options. Now open the developer options and look for “Select USB Configuration”. Tap on it and set one of the protocol as default. In order for this trick to work make sure that you don’t turn off the developer mode.
2. Exclude Apps From Doze Mode
With the addition of some awesome features, Android Marshmallow is a refinement over Lolli One such feature Doze. Doze is a new technique to increase or maintain your phone’s battery life. It is awesome when it works. To efficiently maintain the battery life Doze puts all your apps and the incoming notifications in sleep mode when you are not using the device. To keep receiving notification from an app when doze is active you’ll have to exclude it from doze mode. To do so open your phone’s settings and go to
To keep receiving notification from an app when doze is active you’ll have to exclude it from doze mode. To do so open your phone’s settings and go to “Battery”. Now tap on the three vertical dots on the top right corner and select “Battery optimization” from the menu. Then tap on “Not optimized” and select “All apps”. Now you’ll see all the apps that are optimized for doze mode. Tap on the app that you want to exclude from doze and select “Don’t optimize” from the menu. Now that app will stay active even when your phone is in doze mode.
3. Instant App Search In Google Now Launcher
Google Now Launcher is simple, elegant, and one of the best Android launcher out there. This simple trick that lets you search for apps in the app drawer instantly could come handy if you have tons of apps. To instantly search the app drawer simply long press the app drawer icon on the home screen and you’ll be sent to the app drawer, the search box will be highlighted, and the keyboard will appear to type the search terms.

7 Useful Android Apps Which You Won’t Find in the Google Play Store
Google play store is home for more than 1,420,000 apps. Everyday 100s of apps are added in the repository. But some apps that do not follow Google’s policy are rejected. No matter how useful the app is, if it doesn’t play by Google’s rules, Google shows it the exit door. Following a list of some really nice apps that you won’t find in the Google Play Store
Note: As these apps are not available in the Google Play Store, you have to sideload them. To sideload apps make sure that “Unknown Sources” is enabled in the Security settings on your device. Just copy the downloaded APK files on your device, use a file manager and navigate to them and tap them to install.
1. Tubemate
Tubemate is the best YouTube video downloader I have ever used. In short, it lets youdownload any video from YouTube (and some other websites) in high and low quality (and in MP3 too). If you want to download YouTube videos in your android device, this is the app to use.Download Tubemate
2. Amazon AppStore
Amazon app store is the next best alternative to Google play store. One feature which makes it stand out from the crowd is that it provides one paid app (or game) for free every day. Usually the apps provided for free are just “meh” but sometimes pretty useful and popular apps are also made free for download.Download Amazon AppStore
3. XBMC
XBMC is one of the best media center software available. It has very easy to use interface so you can browse everything with ease. You can access your music collection and videos, check out live internet TV and other media sites. It is the only app you will require to fulfill your entertainment needs.

4. LMT Launcher
LMT Launcher is my favorite app for multitasking. It lets you perform various commands with single touch or gestures. To be honest, in the beginning it will be a little difficult to use but once you get used to it, it will become the most used app in your smartphone.
Note: You must have a rooted device to use this app.

5. VideoMix
This app lets you stream full length movies from popular movie sites. You can watch movies in different qualities ranging from 240p to 1080p. It does not host any content, it just acts as an intermediary between you and the resource.

6. Mango
Mango is a free manga reader app for android. It has got a huge library of 15,000+ titles. You can read all these mangas for free over your phone’s 3G or Wi-Fi internet connection. If you love to read these awesome Japanese comics, mango is the app for you.

7. AdBlock
As the name suggests, it lets you block ads. Other than ads you can also block tracking and malwares. To use AdBlock to its fullest potential, you have to create some filters. These filters will include things that you want to block. By default two filters are available which will block most of the ads.
Note: You must have a rooted device to use this app.
