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.

The Galaxy Note was ridiculed when it appeared, and now…

By Administrator
Did you know that the first Samsung Galaxy Note was ridiculed by users and the media? Everyone laughed at his "huge" case and said that it would fall apart immediately after it appeared. They said that it was too big and that such a phone would never be used every day.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

What is GLONASS?

By Administrator
If you've looked at the detailed specification of an Android or GPS device, you may have seen another term next to the GPS tag and didn't know exactly what it represents. Well,  GLONASS is a global navigation system that was started by the USSR in 1976, so this project could be taken over by Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
