[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:

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential.
