Have you ever been in a quiet room and had your phone ring so loudly that half the people around you nearly jumped out of their skin? Or perhaps you were in a place so noisy that you missed an important call because you couldn’t hear your phone ringing?
Android phones have a feature that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to match the ambient light level, and now a free app called Intelligent Ringer does the same thing for the ringer volume.
Intelligent Ringer won’t change the ringer volume when your phone is in vibrate-only or airplane mode and you can adjust the sensitivity and minimum volume level to your own preference, making it conform to your own personal hearing capability.
You can read more about Intelligent Ringer and download it for free in the Google Play Store.
Do you ever have guests over to your home who ask to access your secure Wi-Fi connection? Depending on the guests, it can be a little uncomfortable handing over the password to your Wi-Fi network. Well, now you don’t have to if both you and your guests use Android devices.
Have you ever dropped your smart phone and watched it bounce across the floor? I have too, and it isn’t a very pleasant experience. And if you’ve ever dropped you phone into water the feeling is even worse!
Every day thousands of laptops, tablets and smart phones are lost or stolen, and relatively few of them are ever recovered and returned to their rightful owners. But a free app called Prey can tilt the odds greatly in your favor.
Smart phone users love their apps, and many of us have several apps running in the background at any given time. Occasionally a glitch with one of those active apps will cause the phone to freeze up and the only way to unfreeze it is to close the problem app.
