June 8, 2016 by computerera

You already had the option to hide selected post from your Facebook timeline if you were not happy with that.

Today Facebook introduced another interesting option which can be helpful to hide posts from your Facebook Timeline even they appear in your friend’s news feed.

Sometimes we wish to post certain sensitive information which we don’t want to store it on Facebook timeline permanently. In such a situations, already there is an option to hide any post from your timeline. But the latest feature makes it easier to hide newer content right from the “status update” screen.

At present News-Feed only posting can be possible through Facebook for web only, the same feature will be rolled out to the mobile users who are using Android and iOS clients later.

And another thing we have to keep in mind is that the new feature will only be available for new Status updates. If you are planning to share any existing content from the news feed, the shared content will be placed on your Timeline.

At present, the News-Feed only feature has to be rolled out to the global users. It will take few hours to a couple of days for you to get this feature.

Apply These 3 Secret Techniques To make your Android Phone Faster

April 21, 2016 by computerera

Everybody’s searching for simple approaches to accelerate their smartphone, particularly techniques that don’t include phone rooting or, well, purchasing another phone. Here’s three speedy tips that can give you excellent phone performance.

Use Third Party Launcher

Most Android smartphones from Samsung, HTC, Redmi etc come with maker’s custom skin like TouchWiz, which provides additional options over that which you would get from the original form of Android.

While these skins regularly include helpful options, they can also be very huge in size and consumes more processing power of the phone.

<br />

Changing to another launcher from Google Play Store such as Nova Launcher, or Apex, can improve phone responsiveness and speed.

Tweak Multi Tasking options

Android Developer settings provide various settings to speedup the phone performance. To access them first you must enable the Developer options by tapping 7 times on Build Number from the Settings>About menu.

<br />

Now go to Settings > Developer options, here we have to limit the background processes to achieve performance. By default this setting configured as “Standard Limit” by the phone manufacturer, you can lower the value to get priority to foreground processes.

Change Animation Settings

Likewise in the Developer options you can change the animation settings for your smartphone. This has no genuine advantage to the performance of your phone but you can feel it faster.

Here, the “Window animation scale”, “Transition Animation scale” and Animator duration scale are the settings which reflects animation speed while you switching between various Android screens. Higher value makes the phone smooother, lower value makes it snappier.

So, set the Window Animation scale to 5x then tap the Transition animation option to see its results. I suggest .5x for all.
