How to Clean a Rough Face using your Android Phone

Hello friends,

…am here with something interesting today; some tricks for your android phone.

I keep on saying it that android is a smart OS and you must do things smartly with it lolz. It’s very annoying when you take a snap shot during a special occasion and when going through the pictures to upload to the net, you noticed that some parts of your face are kind of rough (either pimples, rash or something similar) and you really want to edit the face to look smooth. 
The thoughts of heading to photoshop to do this edit breaks your heart maybe because you are far from your computer or you don’t know how to use the software. 

Why worry about it when you got your android phone with you. Image Blur App does the magic.

IMAGE BLUR:
Going by the name, you should know what the app does… It’s for blurring either the background of your image or some particular parts you don’t want to be obviously visible. It’s really cool for those functions.

I thought of other use of the app and I came up with this article. You can actually use image blur (or background image blur sometimes called so) to clean those annoying pimples/rashes on the face. Now continue reading below…

How to do this Simple Trick:
  • Download and install the app (image blur) from this link --- CLICK HERE 
  • Open it and locate the image you want to edit with the gallery icon.
  • Click the zoom icon then double tap on your screen or pinch to zoom.
  • Now click the brush icon and drag it backward to reduce the brush size.
  • Finally, with your finger on your screen, rub every part of your face to get the smooth effect applied.
Note: Avoid rubbing the eyes of your image. You can touch the lips and nose a little. Check out the picture below. 

…that’s just all, check how the picture looks below and how it looks now. It’s a magic lolz

If this post was helpful, please share it with your friends. Thanks!

And let’s say you finished using those free go credits and didn’t purchase a new one. And during that period of having zero go credit, you lost your sim card and didn’t retrieved it. After purchasing a new sim, you can’t buy go credit and accept go credits on 2go anymore. You can’t chat in a room or in a group chat because you didn’t verified that particular number. 

I know you will be wondering that what sup with all these long story. The story above is the reason for this post because have gotten a lot of requests from friends asking me that how can they verify a lost number on 2go lolz. You can’t verify a lot number that why you need to change the number in your 2go profile. Now, read how to do this below

How to Change 2go Number
1. Log in to 2go and go to your profile
2. Click Change Number
3. You will be directed to a link, continue using opera mini or any other browser you like.
4. Now put your new number in the provided box and click proceed. And click yes in the next screen.
5. A text message will be sent to that number, click the link to continue.
6. Now confirm that you want to change to that number and click ok. You will see a message telling you that you have successfully changed your 2go number.

CONGRATULATIONS! Now you can verify your number by going to your profile and click Verify, 2go will send a message for you that costs 30 naira only lolz.

How to Save Web Pages as Pdf using your Android phone

Hello friends,

Am here with a tutorial for you… During some research on the internet, we might come across some useful information that we feel like having as a document saved on our phones for future references. If you were researching with your computer, it’s very easy to do this (to save a webpage as a pdf) but with other devices, it’s kind of hard and sometimes, you might need a third party application. 

Saving a web page as a pdf on your Android phone is not hard though lolz but all you need to do is to have the right browser.

Chrome browser can easily save a web page as a pdf on your android phone – it’s has that particular function already, so you don’t need any other app for it or extra tricks to do such. 
So let me show you how you can use your android phone to save web pages as pdfs. Read on

How to do this:
  • Launch your Chrome Browser. If you don’t have one installed on your phone, please do click here.
  • After that, open the web page you want to convert to pdf
  • Click the option (menu) key on your android phone.
  • Choose Print from the pop–up window.
  • In that place having printer name, click it then choose Save as PDF
  • Click on Save at the bottom part of the new window.
  • Now, select the folder where you want that file to save
  • Then click Save.

That’s all

If you are encountering problems saving a file, try some of these troubleshooting processes below:
1. Check if the file name is having unsupported characters like colon “:”, semi colon “;” etc.
2. Check if the site supports copying or printing of their articles / images
3. Check whether you have the latest Google chrome installed on your phone.
4. Check if you followed the procedures rightly.

With these, I hope you won’t encounter any problem saving a web page as a pdf anymore.

Cheers!

How to Speed up your Internet Connection on your Android Phone

brightergadgets.blogspot.com
Hello friends,

Longest time… I have been really having a good time

I know that the topic of this article caught your attention. The fact is that, it’s true! Am going to show you how to do it. It will work because it worked/ for me.

Am not here to start exploring deep and complex things about Android and some hard tweaks to do. It’s just a simple and easy to do tutorial. Anybody can actually do this easily, without stress and it doesn’t take time. Enough of the story, let’s get started.

The Trick Behind this
What I want to show you is very simple; it’s a trick though. You will have to install a firewall app on your android phone that blocks apps from accessing the internet. How does.  this affects your network speed? I know you will ask that.

Imagine when 100s of apps are accessing one network then just one or two apps access the same network, what do you think will happen. Take for instance, if a modem shares network to 10 computers and the same modem share network to just one computer. Tell me, what do you think will happen to that modem that shares to one? It will definitely be faster! So that’s the trick behind this.

How to speed up your internet connection on your android phone
What you need:
A rooted phone
Droid wall app --- Click Here to Download
Or
A non-rooted phone
No-Root Firewall --- Click Here to Download
…See I told you that it’s for everybody both rooted and non-rooted users.

STEPS
  • ·  Download any of the apps listed above; it’s your choice.
  • ·  Install and then open.
  • ·Select the app(s) you want to access your network then click save or apply or ok which ever corresponds with the particular app you downloaded.
  • ·   For Droid wall, click here to read more about it. For noroot-firewall, click here to read more about it.

·         Make sure you select few apps for faster speed.


That’s all, it’s very easy to do. Hope this helps you!

How To Send Installed Apps Through Bluetooth from your Android Phone

Hello friends,

I am here with another of my “How to” tutorials.

Some months ago, I published an article on how you can share your installed apps using an application called Flash Share which many people cherished that particular post. But the downside of it is that, not every android phone supports flash share (most phones supports it). And I also noticed something that, not every android phone has hotspot and android phone Wi-Fi signal is kind of poor which allows flash share not to work or performs poorly. Now, that’s where this post come handy! Read on

WHAT YOU NEED
Bluetooth App sender.

HOW TO GET THIS

HOW TO SEND INSTALLED APPS THROUGH BLUETOOTH USING THIS APP
  • After downloading, click to open
  • Locate that particular app you want to send by scrolling through the list of apps or click the search bar and type in the name of the app.
  • Now click on the app.
  • Click on SEND.
  • From the list of send options click Bluetooth.
  • You probably know the next step now… Locate the device name of your friend you want to send to.
  • Click the name then blab la bla…
It’s that easy to do!

Now you can share those installed apps from any of your android phone easily.

If you find this post helpful, do share it to a friend.

How to Speed up your 2go Star

Hello 2go friends, 

...I get this question always from friends asking me on how they can boost / speed up their 2go stars quickly and sharply from Amateur to Ultimate! That's why this tutorial is here... 

FACT: I believe that there is no particular cheat to boost your 2go star quickly. Personally, I have tried those tutorials online and non of them works. Most of them are time waiting and battery consuming. 
These tips below will definitely help you in speeding your 2go star. 

TIPS: 

  1. Keep on chating with friends and don't bother about your 2go star. The main reason why you are on 2go is to chat with friends, so don't forget that. 
  2. Try as much as possible not to get people bored when chatting with them. Once you get more friendly and interesting with your 2go friends, it will make you chat more with them thereby increasing your online presence. This in return boosts your star.
  3. Try as much as possible to come online every day and chat with someone atleast.
  4. Don't start up conversations with many friends at once. Pick on just 1 or 2 that you enjoy chatting with in other to allow the conversation flow naturally. 
  5. From time to time, engage in 2go rooms. Check the list of room and choose one that you prefer and start chatting with lots of friends.  
Going by these tips, I know that your 2go star will definitely get a new colour before Monday!

How to Send Apk files through Bluetooth From Any Android Phone


Hello friends,

I want to show you something very important today...

I had a similar problem some time ago, so i "googled" it and got lots of search results. But i wasn't satisfied with the answers i got. The answers are listed below...
  1. Sending the apps via email.
  2. Backing up the app and sending the backed up copy.
  3. Zipping the app and sending it as a zipped folder. And so on...
 Those answers certainly have a "comma". See the "commas" below...
  1. If you don't have an internet connection, i can't use advice 1.
  2. If you don't have a rooted or a 4.0  and above android phone, you can't you advice 2.
  3. If you don't have an app to zip and unzip files, you can't use advice 3.
So, i thought and thought until i came up with this idea... Continue REadiNG...

MY METHOD
My method is very simple, just change the file extension of the apk you want to send.

MY STEPS
  • Go to your explorer and locate the apk you want to send.
  • Hold on it and click Rename
    www.brightergadgets.blogspot.com
    Rename the app you
    want to send.
  • Then Clear the .apk in front of the name (after the name of the file).
    For example if its OfficeSuit.apk you want to send, Clear .apk from the name and click done. So you will be left with OfficeSuit.

    www.brightergadgets.blogspot.com
    Clear .apk and click done
  • Finally, hold on the app (Officesuit) then click Share... Click Bluetooth and share it with your friend (the receiver).
    www.brightergadgets.blogspot.com
    Click share

    www.brightergadgets.blogspot.com
    Click Bluetooth share
  • Now on your friend's phone (the receiver), Rename the received file... From OfficeSuit to OfficeSuit.apk
    www.brightergadgets.blogspot.com
    The receiver should put .apk
     Note: If you don't rename it, you won't be able to install the file because the extension has changed.
Please, follow every step according... And note, not all file explorers are the same. Where my share icon is might not be where yours will be, so understand your file explorer very well.

If you encounter any problem while doing this, please comment about it.
