  • 3 Addictive Games You Can Play On Your Smart Phone Now

    3 Addictive Games You Can Play On Your Smart Phone Now

    Boredom is one of the major causes of emotional and psychological problems across the globe.

    Being bored also causes engagement in activities that may sometimes have negative consequences on your being as a person.

    It is also widely known that games are forms of entertainment that sharpen our thinking and logical skills.

    In this article, we shall look at three addictive games you can play on your smartphone at any given time.

    Football Strike

    This game is very intriguing and keeps you coming back for more. I know the sound of football in the name scares some people especially those who do not enjoy football that much. Well, this particular game is quite different from your usual soccer game.

    This game only requires you to point at certain targets and shoot at them in a duel with other live players online. For every successful target you hit within a given time, you score several points ranging from1 to 6 depending on the speed of the ball, the time is taken and the exact spot you hit with the ball.

    The beautiful thing about this game is that you can challenge your friends on social media live. Also, there are over 93 achievements you need to get before you complete the game.

    And what makes it more fascinating is that there are millions of people playing the game all the time so the leaderboard keeps changing by the seconds and this keeps it very competitive.

    You can download this game on both android and IOS devices.

    Mario Kart Tour

    For fans of Nintendo games, Mario Forever and Mario Kart Tour should be common names. Well, Nintendo has found the need to create a small-screens version of their highly patronized race game.  So, anyone can now download this game on their mobile devices and play with their favourite characters through the beautiful routes and win various races as they unlock newer levels and competitions.

    If you were a fan of games during your childhood, you’d want to have this one on your phone. This game is free of charge.

    However, there are in-app purchases to be made when one wants to open certain locked features and locations.

    It is available on both android and IOS.

    Homicide Squad: Newyork Cases

    If you are a fan of investigative novels or movies, then definitely this game is for you.

    In this game, you are expected to use your critical analysis skills to identify hardcore evidence at murder scenes to present before a court of law, to serve justice.

    You would be required to control two brilliant detectives as they solve crimes across the state.

    The energy given you is limited so the more time you spend in getting your evidence, the more your energy drains.

    However, there is an in-app purchase option which enables you to buy more energy. It is a pretty intense game that requires some level of thinking and analysis. When you get hooked on it, you will wish your battery never runs down. It is available on both Android and IOS.

    Conclusion

    The games listed in this article are mostly strategy games and so require some level of analysis and accuracy. And as indicated In the caption, they are addictive games that can keep you glued from morning to evening.

    So, if you do not intend to be glued to a game, then you should not attempt installing them. However, if you can control yourself from spending too much time on them, then you sure have no reason to stay away from them. I believe there are many other games of interest to you as well.

  • How To Use Your Android Phone So That The Battery Lasts Longer (2020)

    How To Use Your Android Phone So That The Battery Lasts Longer (2020)

    One major issue associated with the use of smartphones is the need to constantly charge them as they tend to get discharged very quickly.

    Most people are faced with the challenge of charging their android phones about 3 or more times within a single day, just to keep up with trends on the internet and keep using their phones through the day.

    Fortunately, most of these battery drainage issues are due to factors that can be controlled by users of such phones.

    In this article, we shall focus on some of the tried and tested ways of using your phone to save the battery and make it last longer.

    Limit Background Apps

    Most Apps especially social media apps and radio or music apps are often kept running even when you leave your phone in idle mode.

    These apps tend to eat so much of your battery even while you leave your phone without touching it.

    So, in order to ensure that your battery lasts a little bit longer than it does presently, the first thing you need to consider is the limitation of background apps.

    To do this, you first need to be sure of the apps that you necessarily need to keep on even when your phone is not in use.

    Once you are sure of the apps, follow the steps below:

    1. Go to settings
    2. Click on apps
    3. Select the specific app you want to limit
    4. Select advanced
    5. Click on battery
    6. Click on background restriction

    Note: On some phones, you may not see the step ‘E’, just move on the final step.
    Repeat this for all the apps that you wish to restrict.

    Turn Off Your Location

    Sometimes you take photos on your phone and the phone gives you the exact location where you took the pic without you typing it. You become very excited and fascinated by how smart your phone is.

    Well, your phone is actually smart but the service that enables your phone to perform that function is the GPS.

    GPS is one of the battery-sucking demons that exist in mobile technology.

    Anytime your location is turned on, your phone tries to connect with the nearest satellite for easy tracking of your location and this usually eats into your battery.

    So, in order to save some extra battery, you should consider turning off your location at all times except you need it.

    To disable your location, follow these steps:

    1. Go to settings
    2. Select Security and location
    3. Click on location
    4. Toggle to turn it off or on.

    Note: Aside from the fact that turning on your location usually chops into your data, it also exposes you to hackers and trackers who could be using your phone to track your movements.

    Turn Off Automatic Wifi Search

    All latest versions of the Android operating system keeps the device to continually search for available wifi network even after the wifi symbol had been turned off in the control centre.

    This, therefore, uses up the battery for as long as there is no available Wifi network to connect to.

    In order to cancel this automatic search for wifi networks on your android device, you should consider doing the following:

    1. Go to settings
    2. Go to networks and internet
    3. Go to wifi
    4. Select Wifi-preference
    5. Click to uncheck the ‘Turn On Wifi Automatically’ box.

    Please be sure to check if the option is already turned on or off before attempting to change.

    Check For Malfunctioning Apps

    Anytime an app malfunctions on your device, it tends to take up more clock time in your Phone’s CPU and this puts much pressure on the battery, thereby resulting in a great drop in battery percentage.

    Therefore, in order to minimize the drop in battery percentage and ensure that the battery lasts longer after charging, we should consider checking for malfunctioning apps and putting them off.

    To check for malfunctioning apps, do the following:

    1. Click on settings
    2. Select battery
    3. Select battery usage
    4. Look through the list and see which apps are taking much battery than they ought to.
    5. Click on them and select ‘force stop’.

    If you decide that you may not need the app at all, you can uninstall it completely from your phone.

    Conclusion

    While there may be many other suggested ways of keeping your phone battery healthy and ensuring that your phone’s battery lasts longer after charging it, the list on this site seems to be the tried and confirmed methods of achieving good battery health.

    However, these methods do not mean that you’ll achieve a magical boost in your battery health. If your battery lasts 3 hours presently, you should not expect that it would start lasting for 24 hours after applying our suggestions in this post.

    Also, if you know of any methods that work for you personally, you can share with us and many other readers via the comment box beneath the post.

  • 4 Best Adblockers You Can Use On Your Android Phone

    4 Best Adblockers You Can Use On Your Android Phone

    One of the most annoying things one has to endure as an android phone user is the frequent and unwarranted ads popping up on the screen from websites and other apps that you may have on your phone.

    There is nothing more annoying than this and very slow internet. The worst part is that most of these ads turn out to be pornographic materials.

    You can imagine the disgust and embarrassment that you’ll face when you give your phone to someone only for the person to see such ads on your phone.

    In this article, we shall look at 4 best adblockers that you can use on your android phone to prevent such worthless popups.

    Appbrain Ad Detector

    Appbrain is a one-stop solution to everything that bothers you about the safety of your phone and your privacy as well.

    Arguably, Appbrain is one of the finest AdBlock apps available on the internet today for use on android devices.

    This app has a feature which checks through your system to identify apps and websites that contain such popup ads and blocks them even before they attempt to show ads.

    Also, it has a virus and threat-sniffing ability which lets it scan and rate the safety of any network your phone connects with.

    This, however, makes it responsible for network problems sometimes since it doesn’t connect to all networks.

    You can download this app from the google play store free of charge and block ads on your phone.

    Trust-Go Ad Detector

    Aside from the fact that those popup ads are so annoying and sometimes make you feel like hitting your phone against a wall, some ads all gather information from you and sell to marketing companies and businesses.

    So in essence, some of these ads gather your information and sell to others.

    The Trust-Go Ad Detector acts as both an app for detecting ads and blocking them, as well as protecting privacy and information.

    You can download it on the google play store too.

    Adblocker Browser

    As indicated in the name, this app is a web browser which has an anti-ads code embedment which in turn prevents ads from being displayed on your android device.

    Presently, the app has been taken off the google play store. However, you can get it on the app’s official website where you can download it and share.

    This app covers all browsers on your device. So once installed, it covers all other web browsers on your phone to give you maximum protection from popup ads.

    Adblock Plus

    Finally, the last app on this list is Adblock Plus. It Is also a very popular Adblocker fro your android device.

    It is very good at blocking online ads and comes with free extensions for chrome, internet explorer, safari, opera, firefox for your Pc, and Laptop users.

    One other unique thing about Adblock plus is that it contains a component which tracks and blocks websites that have been reported by others for spreading malware and infectious files.

    Also, if there are some few sites you wish to deactivate the ad blocker for, there is an option for you to create your own filters.

    Conclusion

    The four apps and extensions listed above are very easy-to-use adblockers that you can use to prevent your phone from displaying ads that end up becoming annoying and intrusive. Please, be it known to you that before you download any adblocker apart from the ones listed above, make sure to read their reviews.

    Most of the other adblockers rather end up causing you more harm by stealing your information and displaying more ads that you had thought.

    However, if you have used any other deserving adblockers that you want us to know about, kindly share them in the comments section beneath the post.

  • How To Use Your Phone To Find Any Song That Is Playing Around You

    How To Use Your Phone To Find Any Song That Is Playing Around You

    Very often than not, many of us hear songs on radio, TV or on a device nearby. Sometimes, these songs are very interesting and suit your taste for music but unfortunately, we are unable to identify the songs by their owners or title.

    In situations like this, one thing that comes to mind is an app which can help you search for a song by recording a part of it.

    In this article, we shall take you through three applications that enable you to find any song that is playing around you.

    Shazam

    Shazam is a multi-platform app for identifying music playing on TV, Radio, Cinemas and music devices. Shazam is available for IOS devices and Android devices.

    To use Shazam to search for a song, follow these steps:

    1. Open the app and press the ‘Shazam’ button.
    2. Hold the phone near to the source of the song for about 10 seconds.
    3. A digital fingerprint of the audio recorded by your device is created and, within seconds, matched against Shazam’s database of millions of tracks and TV shows for a result.
    4. If the song is available in the database, details of the songs will be displayed to you. However, if the song doesn’t match any of the songs in the database of Shazam, it will show ‘No results found’.

    Note: In order for shazam to produce the kind of results you want, you need to reduce the background noise of the environment in which the song is being played.

    Soundhound

    Soundhound is one of the most efficient speech- to- meaning applications on the internet today.

    With Soundhound, anyone in the world using both android devices or IOS devices can search for songs or TV programs of their choice by simply recording a part of the song or singing and humming part of the song.

    Soundhound then matches contents of the recorded audio with a list of millions of marked audio in their database.

    Soundhoud has features that enable users to link their soundhound account to their Apple Music or Spotify so as to create an automated playlist based on their Soundhound history.

    MusixMatch

    The last app on this list is MusixMatch. Arguably, MusixMatch is rather a better choice than many of the other song finding apps on the internet.

    This app gives you useful results almost every 9 out of 10 times and provides users with lyrics of songs they search as well.

    The app also has a floating lyrics feature, which lets you see lyrics in real-time as you listen to music.

    In addition to this, once you create an account, you can contribute to lyrics for your favourite songs.

    Musixmatch has a free version which displays ads and a paid or premium version which costs 3 Dollars per month and provides the option of saving your lyrics for offline usage.

    Google Assistant

    One of our readers, Mawuli, pointed out the Google Assistant app, which we had missed in the earlier version of this article.

    Quite, rightly, once you say “Ok Google” and ask what song is playing, the Google Assistant will listen to part of the song (usually 6 seconds or less) and tell you the name of the song playing.

    You could also singly type “What song is this?” in Google Assistant and you will get the same response.

    Conclusion

    From the list provided above, my best tip is MusixMatch as it provides far more than just music identification.

    Also, its accuracy rate is quite high and it is more likely to give you the results you want. Meanwhile, depending on the level of popularity of the song you want, Shazam may be a better choice. The more popular the song is, the better it is for Shazam to identify it.

    Also, there are many other music identification apps you can use. Kindly share with us the ones you have used and how best they worked for you. Let’s hear from you in the comment box.
