How To Enable Fast Charging Mode On Galaxy Note 4

The Galaxy Note 4 is a pure beast. Once you get your hands on this device, you’re going to come across a plethora of features that won’t let you get your hands off from Samsung’s latest and the best iteration in the Galaxy Note series so far. While you’re checking out the cool features and making the best use of your Galaxy Note 4, you may worry about your device’s battery, that will be eaten up by certain applications and certain features of the device. Ordinarily, you will have to plug in the charger and then wait for hours and get your device charged and only then you will be able to continue what you were previously doing on your device, but waiting for a long time may kill the charm of using the device. It looks like Samsung doesn’t want the users to feel bad about the battery life and a right job has been done by Samsung in the Galaxy Note 4.

Galaxy Note 4 comes with a feature named as “Fast Charging Mode” and the device gets shipped with an Adaptive Fast Charger inside the box. The fast charging mode takes the device from 0 – 50% within half an hour and takes the battery to 100% in 1 hour. This feature happens to be pretty much handy when you’re running short of the time you need a quick boost to your device’s battery life. Giving it 1 hour having the charger plugged in won’t be a big deal. By default, the Fast Charging is enabled on the device and you will find it working when you plug in the charger for the very first time, but just in case you’ve got it disabled somehow and you now you don’t know from where you can enable it once again, you will have to locate it and activate it this little how that we just made in this on-going post.

How To Enable Fast Charging Mode On Galaxy Note 4

  1. On your Galaxy Note 4 go to Settings.

  7. Make sure that you’re using the original cable and original charger that shipped along with the phone, other wise you won’t find the fast charging mode working on your device. As soon as the cable is plugged in, a message will appear in the status bar saying “Fast charger connected”.

Google has Hidden a Game in Lollipop, Here is How You Can Play it

Android 5.0 Lollipop is full of surprises, some of the surprises are reserved for future but there is one that is hidden in it and using a very simple way you can bring it out. I used to hear that Electricians and makers of ICs, integrated circuits, were used to hide the Cartoon Characters in them and the only way you could see those was under a microscope or using the Reverse lens method or use the Extension Tubes of DSLR, which magnifies the view thus allowing you to see small things in a larger frame. You might have heard that tapping the Android version in Settings > About > About Device reveals an easter egg. The feature was seen in Android 2.3 GB for the first time and now it has become a part of Android OS. With the release of Andorid 5.0 Lollipop, Google took it to another level.

This feature can be found at the same place as usual, however, as the time passed those Easter eggs implemented in Android 2.3 GB have become slightly advanced. These are pretty easy to access, yet neglected by a lot of users. Let’s go ahead and see how to access that Hidden game in Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Google has Hidden a Game in Lollipop

How To Find Hidden game in Android 5.0 Lollipop:

  1. Navigate to Device settings.
  2. Navigate to About > About Device.
  3. Locate your Android version and start Tapping it.
  4. That is it, you’ll see your Android version in Graphical shape.

Now you’ll see the Lollipop on your device screen, but that is not it. Start tapping the Screen again and you’ll see Lollipop changing colours. Long press the screen and you’ll be taken to a little game that Google has hidden in this OS. It resembles Flappy Bird. The only difference is that here you have a Bugdriod that you’ll carry and dodge the obstacles throughout the way.

How To Disable Forced Encryption On Google Nexus 6

There may be a plethora of devices coming out every second day from so many great manufacturers, but the Nexus line-up by Google is one its-own-kind. Google took a start in collaboration with HTC in 2010, and the Nexus series has greatly improved after going through the hands of Samsung, LG and for now the full stop is at Motorola. Just a month back, Google pulled the curtains off from the Nexus 6 in association with Motorola, the Nexus 6 won much of the spotlight. Nexus 6 is just a great upgrade over the Nexus 5, there’s nothing that will be disappointing the users with Google’s efforts on the Nexus 6. On the front we have a whopping 5.9-inch QHD display, Google has gone pretty big this time and the Nexus 6 stands perfectly in front of Samsung’s latest phablet, the Galaxy Note 4. The device is powered up with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 SoC accompanied by Adreno 420 GPU and a RAM of 3 GBs is fixed inside. Internal storage begins at 32 GB. A 13 MP shooter can be found at the back, while a 2 MP on the front. A battery of 3220 mAh can be found inside. Also, the Nexus 6 is water-resistant, which makes it Google’s first water resistant smartphone. These mouth watering specifications won’t let the Android freaks keep themselves away, specially when the device will be found running on Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, and what’s more better than the stock Android, that always is the winning feature for the Nexus devices.

While some of you might have got your hands on the Nexus 6 and some might be planning to do so, you won’t be able to actually resist yourself from playing with the device beyond the limits set by Google. If you’re planning something like that, you may unlike the enhanced encryption system on your Nexus 6, that forcefully enables encryption on your Google Nexus 6 while your device boots up for the very first time. Wondering what’s this encryption? Well, let’s have a look on the answer first.

A brief intro to Encryption on Android devices

Encryption on Android devices is a little process that encodes the user data using an encryption key. Basically, encryption feature encrypts the data before it’s called in or any sort of change in the data is comitted, and if you want to read any data, it will be decrypted and then processed. This feature has been greatly enhanced in Android 5.0 Lollipop and Google has already provided all the details as well.

XDA recognized developer bbedward came up with a modified boot.img file that allows the users to disable this forced encryption feature in the Google Nexus 6. If you’re looking to disable it, this might be the right spot for you. Let’s go through the method now and learn how you can disable forced-encryption on your Google Nexus 6 running Android 5.0 Lollipop.nexus-6-product-photo

Here are some early preparations to begin with this process

1. This Guide Is Only For Google Nexus 6.

This custom ROM is only for the device mentioned above. Make sure that your model number matches the one listed above. To do so, go to Settings > About Device on your device and see your model number. Flashing a file on another device will result in bricking it.

2. Battery should be charged at least over 60%

Make sure that your battery is charged enough to complete the flashing process. In case your battery is low and your device goes dead during the flashing process, you may end up soft bricking your device as it won’t complete the flashing process.

3. Your Nexus 6’s Bootloader must be unlocked

You won’t be able to flash the boot.img if your Nexus 6’s bootloader is locked. You can unlock it using Wug’s Nexus Root Toolkit. You may also flash a custom recovery and root your Nexus 6 using the same Toolkit.

4. Install ADB & Fastboot

Android ADB & Fastboot are required for flashing the boot.img file through the command interface. You may follow our Minimal ADB & Fastboot guide in order to install the ADB & Fastboot drivers quickly.

5. Backup everything!

Just to be on the safe side, you may consider backing up each and everything from your Android device. This is highly recommended so that in case anything goes wrong, you still have the access to all of your data and you can restore it immediately. You may backup everything as listed below.

6. Disclaimer

The methods involved in flashing custom recoveries, custom Boot.img files, ROMs and rooting your phone are highly custom and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturer that is also Google in our case. Also rooting your device will void its warranty and you will be no longer eligible for any kind of free device services by the manufacturers/warranty providers. In case of any mishap we may not be held responsible. Follow these instructions to the letter to avoid any mishap or bricking. Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
