Now lets talk about Android tricks... My Stronghold

~There are some thangs you can do with your Android phone that iOS and Windows Phone users can only dream about. With a little imagination the possibilities are nearly infinite. Since there are so many different things you can do with an Android phone it’s inevitable to be unaware of some basic tricks.
A.Here’s how to speed up your Laggy phone
Open Settings > About phone
Scroll down and tap on “Build number” 7 times
Now go back to Settings and you should see new “Developer options”
Adjust the window and transition animation scales to .5x or turn them off completely....

~And also, if your phone falls into the wrong hands(maybe it was stolen) it could put you in a world of trouble. There are apps you can download to help in the event of a lost phone, but in order for them to work you need to have them installed before something bad happens. Luckily there is a built-in way to find your lost phone and even wipe all of your personal data
You can double-check here https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager to make sure you have it installed
Or Go to google.com/android/devicemanager
Select your phone from the menu
Now you can see the location, ring it, lock it, or erase it.....
