TOP ANDROID TRICKS:
1) Ping Test:

To enable this on your android device,open the phone dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*.Now from thelist of options select “phone info” and press the button naming “run ping test”.This android trick gives you the several details about the phone and other services.It works only when you are connected to the internet.

2) Pinch Floating Overview:

Overview is just one feature on an android device that shows the overview of all the widgets that are placed on all screens.To do pinch overview keep some widgets on 2 or more screens on your phone.Pinch the screen and see the widgets dancing on the phone,shake the phone to make the widgets move(Works only for Sony Ericsson Androids).

3) One Touch Camera:

This feature is available on Samsung S3 and will allow you to start the camera with just a click.Hold on the screen and rotate your android phone to 90 degrees and your camera opens automatically.

4) Photo Synchronize:

The default Facebook application for the android phone allows users to sync all their photos from their mobile to their profile and keep them private until they share this photo.This is a very handy feature for travelers who take plenty of pictures as they move on.They need not select every photo individually to upload it on Facebook instead they sync automatically.

To enable this feature,open the Facebook application and from the settings menu you can toggle between the sync settings whether to use WiFi network for sync or to disable the sync.

The above are all the 10 android tricks that you would have never known until now and if you have anymore tricks related to android then convey the readers bu just putting a note on the comments section.

5) Version Secret:

Just open your menu and locate settings from your android phone.Select “About phone” under the system settings and click on the version number for several times rapidly.As a result you must see a small android image looking at you like the below image.

6) Message Symbols:

Text messaging is one thing every mobile user must do frequently but all this while we never noticed this trick.Hold on the full stop (.) button for a while and it shows the symbols that will be used frequently while messaging.

7) Mock Location:

Have you ever noticed the mock location settings?i guess no.

Go to menu => settings => Developer options.Under this menu click on the “allow mock locations”.This android trick will randomize you current location and display it to your friends and families when your GPS is turned on.To check if it working just open the Google map from your device and view your current location.

cool Screenshot:

Taking the screen shot of your android home screen or anywhere is very useful in most cases like i took a screen capture above as an example to show you how the trick works.To take a screen shot just hold the “volume key” + “power button” for 3 seconds.If you are a Samsung user then hold the “home button” + “power button”.

9) 3D Map:

Have you seen the new feature of Google maps which allows you to navigate the streets and places in a 3 Dimensional view.In order to view the 3D map first open the map and then place two fingers onto the screen and swipe down gently.

Do try these tricks and see how they work amazingly...
