[Android] Mobile + WiFi internet = twice as fast file download

[Android] Mobile + WiFi internet = twice as fast file download

Did you know that you can use mobile and WiFi internet at the same time to increase the download speed on your Android device? If you haven’t, now you know you can! How? The answer is: Download Booster

You surf the internet over your phone and come across some larger files you need to download, turn on mobile internet and WiFi and this app will use both networks to increase download speed. Of course, this means that you will be charged for traffic that takes place over the mobile network or downloads megabytes.

This option is not so new, it came with the Galaxy S5 phone, but now anyone who has a ROOT Android device can have it.

Download Booster

However, the application has a few limitations:

  • only HTTP traffic is supported (no torrent and FTP)
  • Lite version is limited to 50MB per file (you can download the full version for free on XDA)
  • requires ROOT (not a limitation, but for some, it may be a problem)

You can download the application from the following links:

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

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.
