I
feel really excited right now hey guys today we're taking a look at literally the
craziest things you can do on your smartphone, so these are primarily tested on
Android but one of them also work on iOS because your preferred platform and what
the thing said let's start it so did you know that your smartphone can actually.
1.
See Invisible Infrared radiation so typically at least to the human eye infrared
is actually outside the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which
means to the human eye we literally cannot detect it at all. So what tends to
happen with high-end cameras is that the company's building a filter and that
filter prevents the camera seeing anything that is outside the visible light
spectrum the same as the human eye and the idea is is that by seeing what the
human eye sees the camera will better be able to capture a more realistic photo
and fortunately because it's kind of cool that is completely skipped out on
almost every smartphone camera and so what you can do is open up the camera app
point your phone up to remote and then press any button on the remote. So that
means that if you're having a problem with your TV you can instantly diagnose
whether or
not
the problem is with the remote or with your cables or your TV box answer.
2.
Distance something else which I find completely fascinating its ability to use
your smartphone's camera to find out the distance of objects from you and their
actual size and so by installing an application called smart measure you can actually
use basic trigonometry to actually find out these facts about the objects so
you simply install the app you boot it up and you tell the phone what your
height is and what you do initially is line up the crosshairs in the app with
the feet of the object you're trying to measure and it will use information
from your phone sensors such as the amount of angle your phone down to do this
in order to actually find out how far away the object is and therefore how
large it must be so we all know that with
3.
Text on PC/MAC WhatsApp web you can essentially carry on a WhatsApp
conversation on your phone straight away on your computer but what you might
not have known is that you can do exactly the same with SMS
messages
installing something called Mighty Text means you can actually send SMS text
messages from your computer without even being close to your smartphone the
application also lets you see just about everything you want to on your
smartphone such as notifications from other applications there's a lot of things
like battery level and your contacts so there's a bit of an up-and-coming trend.
4.
Dashcam cameras everyone is running around buying – cameras installing them in
their cars to make sure that if they're ever in an accident they can find out
who's responsible - cameras can be used to prove your innocence in a tricky
situation or just to record the number plate of someone causing a problem but
what people aren't considering is that your phone is the perfect dashcam so downloading the application called
altar boy essentially gives it every feature that your dash cam has and way way
more it supports continuous recording which means your phone can constantly be
recording footage and at the same time deleting footage those older so you can
always have the last 10 minutes stored on file it also lets the record in the
background which means anything you wanted to do on your phone in the car you
can continue to do so you can pay affirm in your car play your phone's playlist
through your car speakers and still be recording the whole journey and of
course your phone's camera is probably the best portable camera most people are
gonna have on them like any reasonably high in phone right now can record in 4k
which is far more than you can say for most dashcam and this actually links to
another really.
5.
HUD interesting application I found out about the other day and that's called
HUD way and what you do after installing the application is simply place your
phone on your windshield and it will project a heads-up display onto the front
of your car glass so it can tell you with spoken word and a 3d visualization
what kind of room you need to be taking you can add widgets to it as well so it
can tell you how far you are from your destination in terms of miles kilometers
or even time and the good news here is there a zero extra equipment required
you literally just need your smartphone but if watching on the flip side what
that means if this only works at nighttime projecting your phone's display onto
that glass means that it has to be a very very bright display for it to work in
the day and so with all this every smartphone you can rule that out so.
6.
Contribute to Scientific Research I would say this next one is the most interesting
one on the entire list this is an application or boy once you install it it
allows you to use your phone's unused computing power to contribute to
scientific research so when you install the application you pick certain
projects that you care about but you want to donate to kind of like a charity
without actually costing you anything directly and so what
happens
is whenever your phone is in the charging socket but it's fully charged and
when it's connected to Wi-Fi it'll just be crunching numbers the whole time
it's such an innovative way of actually using this spare power for a good cause
and the way the application is set up to only activate when your device is
fully charged means that it's not actually gonna put a drain on. a battery
power all your performance so we all love do not disturb it's amazing that with
one flick of a switch you can instantly mute all notifications but at the same
time there are often some notifications.
7.
Do Not Disturb we want to receive whilst blocking others and so did you know
that your smartphone actually has a more complex do not disturb mode which
tends to be known as priority mode and what this can do I think is one of the
most useful smartphone features that has been completely hidden away so for
example you can set up importing contacts people who they'd only contact you in
the case of an emergency and obviously if there is an emergency you want to be
reachable you can also have people who've repeat call a certain number of times
bypass your Do Not Disturb feature so for example someone's called three times they
probably got something quite important to say and another cool thing you can do
as a result of this is you can flag contacts so calls from certain numbers can
either be infinitely rejected or sent straight away to voicemail so if you sign
yourself up to some sort of calling list you don't be a part of all you've just
got some really annoying naggy friends then you can send them straight to
voicemail and read the message another time.
