Brief History Of Android

Android was developed by Android Inc. in Palo Alto, California. The company was founded in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White. They originally intended to develop an operating system for digital cameras. However, when they realized that the digital camera market was not big enough, they switched to a smartphone operating system to compete with Symbian and Windows Mobile while Apple iPhone had not been released at the time. In the same year, Andy Rubin ran out of money so on August 17, 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. After the acquisition, Google still retain they key employees of Android Inc., including Rubin, Miner and White. Since that time Android is rapidly growing and developing its mobile device platform.

10 Tips To Help Improve Your Android's Performance

1. Stop syncing
syncing uses a good chunk of your RAM and battery. Be selective and you’ll notice massive improvements in nearly all areas of your phone’s
performance.


2. Remove Rogue Files
Use a file explorer application, like ES File Explorer File Manager or Astro File Manager, to clean up loose documents and take a closer look at some of the rogue fi les that are clogging up your device.


3.Use Compatible Memory Cards
Having a compatible or the correct memory card in your smartphone can help take some of the burden off the internal storage in alot of ways. Dont know if you have noticed this but a packed phone can feel slow, unresponsive and generally unpleasant to use.


4. Defrag
Defragging is a quick way of removing the junk files that are hogging some of your phone’s precious RAM. There are alot of Defragging Apps on the PlayStore but my favourite one at the moment is Cache Clean Easy - Optimize


5. Switch Off Your Animations
Animations are one of the culprits which are wasting your phone's RAM.. So, disabling them will definitely free up some RAM which can be used by apps and other important process running in the background. To cut the RAM-dependent
animations dotted all over your phone, go into the
Developer options menu within your Settings and find
the Animation tabs located halfway down. Be sure to tick both boxes to disable these animations on your device.


6. Root Your Device
Rooting is a great way to explore different options when it comes to performance improvements.
It’s easier to streamline background functions and
boost overall battery life.
There’s alot of custom ROMs to choose from, but
CyanogenMod remains the best out there.
I will elaborate more what Rooting is all about in another post for those who are new to Rooting.


7. Restrict Background Data
You’ll be surprised by just how many things are impacting
on your phone’s performance if you take a look at what’s happening in the background. Open the Data usage tab
in the Settings menu and see for yourself!! If you want to restrict background data, go in ''Settings" then ''Data Usage" where you'll find a "Restrict Background Data" checkbox


8. Disable Automatic Update Option In The Playstore
If you have the automatic update option enabled in the Google Play Store, turn it off right now! Why? Well, you’ll find that your Android smartphone is constantly updating apps and will undoubtedly lead to it feeling slow and hard to use.


9. Malware Nightmares
No matter what type of antivirus your phone may have,
it’ll seriously impact on how your phone functions.
Perform regular virus scans of your device and only download apps and other media from trusted sources. get all your downloads from the Playstore or CyaWapDownloads from now on and stay Virus/Malware free. But if you want the lightest antivirus for your phone which doesn't eat alot of RAM then you should seriously consider trying Antivirus Free-Mobile Security



10. Boost Your Phone's Battery
The battery life on some Android devices is average at best and that includes mine, so it’s important to get the best out of every charge.
Download a battery booster app from the Google Play
store or CyaWapDownloads and perform a scan to find where it can be improved.
More battery saving tips will be explained in one of our future posts because thats the main problem with Smartphones these days.

Run Multiple Whatsapp Accounts on Your Android Phone

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messenger app that also lets you share pictures, videos, music files and so on. By now, everyone of us have WhatsApp in our smartphones. I prefer WhatsApp among other messaging apps like Viber due to its simplicity and instant messaging service.

Although each and everything is quite handy in WhatsApp, but "What’s the most disturbing part that you came across?" For me it is:
If you run dual SIM in your Android smartphones, you might be willing to enjoy two separate WhatsApp account for your two different telephone numbers on your smartphone. Isn’t it?

However, this is where WhatsApp puts limitations on its users. WhatsApp users can not use more than one WhatsApp account on their mobile devices.
 But all that is about to change because I am introducing you to one Android app called OGWhatsApp which allows users to run multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single smartphone.

OGWhatsApp is an Android app that allows you to use two separate WhatsApp accounts on your single Android device without any need to root your Android device.

While running your normal WhatsApp account on your smartphone, you can follow some simple steps (below) in order to run a different WhatsApp account on the OGWhatsApp.

Follow these simple steps to go:

Step 1: Take a complete backup of your WhatsApp data and restore it.
Step 2: Delete all the WhatsApp data by going to Settings>apps>WhatsApp>Clear Data.
Step 3: Rename the /sdcard/WhatsApp directory to /sdcard/OGWhatsApp. You can use any file manager    for Android to do this task, or from Windows.
Step 4: Uninstall your original WhatsApp app from your Android device.
Step 5: Now install OGWhatsApp in your Android smartphone.
Step 6: Once installed, remember to verify your old number that was previously registered with the original WhatsApp to OGWhatsApp. That is it.
Step 7: Now re-install the official WhatsApp for your other number from the play store.

Now enjoy two separate WhatsApp accounts for both cellphone numbers on your single Android device without even rooting your Android device.
