Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Pixel Battery Saver

Pixel Battery Saver

The battery is still one of the biggest problems with smartphones. Although we have phones with a 2000mAh battery, they are expensive. We find the solution in various applications and Power Banks (which will be discussed in one of the next posts).

In this post, I am writing about an application that will significantly extend battery life for all phones that have an AMOLED screen. The AMOLED screen is "battery friendly" because the rule is:  black pixel = turned off pixel. In translation, with the AMOLED screen, the black pixels are turned off to save the battery. If you have a custom AOSP ROM, you've probably noticed the "black theme" option that turns all dark colors into pure black, ie. excludes pixels in places where it is black.

Forget about apps that "kill" other apps to free up RAM and save battery. This method is not recommended,  which I have already written about.

That's why someone came up with and made an application that will save battery where it is most consumed - the screen. It works by turning off every other pixel and thus reducing battery consumption, because half a pixel is turned off, right. Of course, the image quality also decreases, but if you set it to "low" optimization, it doesn't matter. As much as it reduces the image quality, it will significantly reduce battery consumption and can save you in some situations.

In version 2.0, they inserted the option to activate the battery saving mode only when the charge percentage falls below the set value. You can also adjust which pixels will be turned off, all in a few simple steps.

In numbers:

The application is free, and you can download it from this link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.poveu.pixelbatterysaver

Update: the application is no longer available, this is a replacement -

I repeat: only for phones that have an AMOLED screen.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

By Administrator
I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

By Administrator
IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

By Administrator
Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them,  which I already wrote about .
