Adding extension info to Android contacts

Image
Most of us have had to call contacts who have extensions in their numbers. They're annoying to enter and the process can take up time.  Fortunately, if you have an Android smartphone, then you have a way of entering extension information in your contact's details and having your Android automate the dialing process for you. --- Tutorial Notes Rather than manually entering a person's extension number, there is a way to automatically have your Android dial the connection once the call connects. First, go to Contacts. If you want to create a new contact, tap the menu key and then tap New contact. Otherwise, long-press on the contact you want to add extension info for and tap Edit contact. In the phone numbers section, either select the phone number that you want to add extension information to or add a new number. Now, press the symbols key in the lower-left of the keypad. You'll notice the buttons Pause and Wait here. Pause inserts a two-second pause while Wait will wai...

How to Lock Down Facebook App Permissions for More Privacy on Your Android Device

Image
It's a modern day nightmare to accidentally reveal too much information on  Facebook . I've inadvertently told the world my location more times than I can laugh off, and my friends haven't fared too well either. Just take a look at the requested app permissions next time you're about to click install and you'll quickly realize how much that app can reveal about you. With social media privacy concerns a hot topic, especially since Facebook's  psychological experiment  went public, users need a better way to control app permissions before something very private accidentally spreads online. Today, I'll show how any Android user— rooted or not —can lock down their Facebook app permissions to keep privacy secure. This tutorial is broken down into two sections: those who are  rooted  and those who are not, so be sure to know which steps apply to you. For Non-Rooted Users We'll be installing an app outside of the Google Play Store, so be sure to ...

Samsung Milk Music Streaming Service Overview

Image
Samsung's Milk Music Internet radio app is a free download in the Play Store. This will allow you to stream music with no ads. That's right. So what's the catch? Milk Music is only available for Galaxy devices. I'm sure Samsung released Milk Music intentionally alongside it's Galaxy S5 announcement to grab a hold of the streaming market. Who knows if they will be successful, but ad-free music is a hard thing to pass up.  DOWNLOAD
