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

[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:

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

Google offline maps - instructions

Google has recently added several new features to its maps, including Offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It was these two options that were missing so that Google Maps  that could be used as a standalone offline navigation app.
