How to make your phone work faster without freezing
Is it not annoying when your cell phone freezes for some time and you no longer have control over it for some minutes? How you wish your phone never freezes.
Interestingly, so far as the phone is an android or any of its affiliates, the possibility of it freezing at some point in time is inevitable. Such devices are built to respond to every command right after the command has been issued . However, the phone may freeze when too many commands are issued within a particular time frame and this slows the performance of the device.
Sometimes, the phone freezes when we try to launch an application right after switching it on. It does same when after few seconds of switching on the data, we launch a data dependent app such as WhatsApp, Facebook and what have you. Here is a way out of this inconvenience.
NOTE; this may not be applicable to some brand of phones.
HERE ARE THE PROCESS.
(i) Go to settings
- Then tap About Phone
- Find the entry titled “BUILD NUMBER” and tap it repeatedly for Seven (7) Times
- Press the back button and you will see a new option called ‘ DEVELOPER OPTIONS’ menu above ABOUT PHONE
- Tap to open the “DEVELOPER OPTIONS” menu, scroll down and find the following 3 SETTINGS
(I) WINDOWS ANIMATION SCALE,
(ii) TRANSITION ANIMATION SCALE and
(iii) ANIMATOR DURATION SCALE.
By DEFAULT each of those scale is set to 1. Open them one at a time and change 1 to 0.5.
NOTE choose 0.5* not 5*
WhatsApp new terms and conditions
What you should know, be updated and stay safe.
Dedicated to a good blood of mine-Kessey Bernard.
It came as a surprise to many users of the instant messaging app whatsapp when it released an update with a feature that makes it possible for users to share their whatsapp information on Facebook. Whatsapp was sold to the social media titan-Facebook in 2014 for 19 billion dollars and has since then seen dramatic updates including the end-to-end encryption, whatsapp calls among other features and its users can attest to that.
The introduction of the ‘data sharing’ feature in the current version has created a controversy as most users do not buy into the idea of sharing their information on Facebook.
With theses features not withstanding, you can still enjoy your privacy and the thrills of whatsapp because, with this update, your encrypted messages continue to stay private and no one else can read them-not even Facebook or whatsapp.
According to whatsapp, their partnership with Facebook will ensure that the basic metrics about how often people use their services could be tracked and better fight spam on whatsapp. It is also a move to get businesses and companies connected to their clients through ads.
Whatsapp however assures its cherished users that,they (whatsApp) won’t post or share their whatsapp numbers with others and won’t sell, share or give their whatsApp numbers to advertisers.They still believe in the value of private communication and are committed to giving you the fastest, simple and reliable experience on their service.
If the above seems not too convincing and you probably wish to opt out of the data sharing option,these steps can be followed. To continue using WhatsApp, you need to Read and Agree to the new terms and
conditions. Interestingly, this is where most people fall prey because those terms and conditions are usually lengthy and laborious.
Don’t worry if reading is such a herculean task for you like me..lol. Follow these simple guidelines and opt
out of data sharing.
1.WhatsApp is sending out messages to its
users about its new terms.
2.Don’t click Agree right away,scroll down to the bottom
and uncheck the part that says ‘you have
agreed to data sharing’.
As simple as that!
If you have already agreed without going through the above process, there is another way out.
1.Open WhatsApp and go to Settings.
2.Then to Account
3.Uncheck Share my account info.
YOU CAN HI ME ON YOUR NEWLY UPDATED WHATSAPP…LOL Be updated; that’s what’s up.
