Supercharge your smartphone: 5 hidden Android features you need to know are named

The Android operating system has a large number of hidden settings, but developers tend to hide them from users. Some of these options can significantly improve the user experience, so it makes sense to enable them.

To activate the section with hidden features of Android, you need to go to the settings, open the “About phone” tab and tap “Build number” or “MIUI version” seven times in a row. This will give you the status of a developer, and the corresponding menu “For developers” will appear in the general settings.

Now you have wider access to the settings of the smartphone, including new parameters of the applications. It's time to move on.

1. Limit Wi-Fi requests

This feature is enabled by default. It limits the search for Wi-Fi networks to 4 times every 2 minutes to save energy. But because of this limitation, navigation programs may work less accurately, so it is recommended to disable it.

If you rarely use the navigator and do not face problems with geolocation, you can leave everything as it is. This will allow the phone to save a bit of power during non-location tasks.

2. Hardware acceleration in modem mode

Unlike the previous function, it is disabled by default in order to prevent increased traffic consumption when distributing the Internet from the phone.

If you have an unlimited tariff or there is no need to save traffic, but high speed is important, it is recommended to activate this function It will be especially useful during online gaming and sharing the Internet from the device.

3. USB configuration on Android

When connecting a smartphone to a PC via USB, the phone switches to charging by default. To enable data transfer, you need to unlock your device and manually select the appropriate mode. If you are tired of constantly changing the configuration, go to the tab with this option in developer mode and set the “File Transfer” option as the default.

4. Restriction of animation on Android

This setting will be useful for owners of weak or old smartphones. In the “For developers” section, there are three settings responsible for system animations. By default, all three parameters (animation of windows, transitions and duration of animation) are set to 1, but you can change it to 0.5.

Without animations, the smartphone visually works faster, in addition, the processor and memory will be loaded less.

5. What is 4x MSAA on Android

This option helps to eliminate image grain in games. If a high-quality picture is important to you, you can safely activate the 4x MSAA option. However, it is worth noting that in ordinary applications, you will most likely not notice the difference.
