There’s no denying it, from the moment we get up to the moment we go to bed, we’re all glued to our smartphones. A new work emails. A new Facebook notification. There’s always another reason to pick up our phones because they do so much.
You probably know the basics your smartphone can handle, but there are still some things your smartphone can do that might surprise you. Amaze and delight your friends — and yourself — when you handle these tasks with your trusty smartphone.

Diagnose a leaky window
Whether you’re dealing with harsh winters in the Northeast or blazing summers in the South, poorly sealed windows and doors mean your home is never just the right temperature. Finding leaky windows doesn’t just make a home more comfortable; it saves money on electric bills
Turn your phone into a thermal imaging camera with the Flir One add-on. This rectangular camera, weighing in at 2.8 ounces and measuring 2.8” x 1” x 0.7”, plugs in to your phone’s charging port. It adds a little bulk to your phone, but not much, and its easy plug in when you need it. You may need to remove your phone from its case to use it.
Flir One works for Android (any phone with a micro-USB connector) devices. Point your phone at an area, and watch it translate thermal energy into color images. Use it to scan the whole house to see where it’s hot when it should be cool or cool where it should be hot. Flir One can even tell you where pipes need better insulation or help locate overloaded circuits.

Measure your heart health
While fitness gadgets like Fitbit Charge can give you data about your pulse, you won’t get much detail. Don’t take a trip to the doctor to get a detailed look at your heart health — there’s a smartphone app (and device) for that.
AliveCor’s Kardia mobile heart monitor is smaller than a credit card and takes just 30 seconds to capture your EKG and tell you if your heart rhythm is normal. Press your fingers to the touchpads, and the Kardia app will give you a snapshot of your current heart activity. The app also takes voice memos for symptom tracking and securely shares health data with your doctor. It can be a good way to keep a close eye on your heart health if you are concerned about heart health.

Figure out why your check engine light is on
It doesn’t matter how old or new your car is — you’re going to run into car trouble eventually. And when that mysterious Check Engine light on your dashboard comes on, you want to know what’s up without having to take it to a mechanic.
Automatic Pro plugs into your car’s ODB-II port (usually located under the steering wheel) to turn your car into a connected car that talks to your smartphone. It works with most cars manufactured after 1996 and on Android smartphones (Android 5.0 or higher).
Automatic communicates via 3G (connectivity is free for five years with purchase). When it’s not diagnosing mechanical issues, it can update you with status reports and let you know where your car is in the parking lot, even when you’re out of Bluetooth range. If Automatic detects your car has been in an accident, the company will contact you and call emergency services if necessary. The app connects to a wide range of other apps to handle things like tracking work-related driving expenses and turning the A/C on at the house when you’re nearly home.

Remind you to drink enough water
Most of us know we’re supposed to drink plenty of water, but how often do we spend our days drinking coffee and pet drinks instead? Many apps and fitness trackers can help you track how much water you’re drinking, but they rely on making you enter how much water you’ve had.
The Hidrate Spark is different. It’s a smart water bottle that tracks exactly how much you’ve had to drink today. Pair it with an app on Android devices to give you an in-depth look at your water drinking habits. Met your drinking goal for the day? The bottle lights up to let you know!

Do some math (without a calculator)
Sure, your phone already has a calculator built in, but it requires that you type out the equations. That’s fine if you’re figuring out a tip or doing other simple calculations, but what about when you need to key in an algebra problem? Or what if you’re struggling to understand an equation on your homework that makes no sense to you at all?
Photomath lets you take a picture of any math problem and get an immediate answer. It walks you through the steps to get to that answer, as well, making it a good learning tool. Photomath supports arithmetics, integers, fractions, decimal numbers, roots, algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations and inequalities, absolute equations and inequalities, systems of equations, logarithms, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, derivatives and integrals.

Catch fish
Normally, a family camping trip is reason to leave the smartphone behind so you can better enjoy the great outdoors. But let’s face it, this is 2016. Modern technology can make everything better — even your time away from it on the lake.
Check out the iBobber. This small, spherical device works as a fish-finding sonar in both salt and fresh water, helping you locate fish up to 135 feet under the surface. Attach it to a fishing line and cast it where you want to fish; it turns on automatically upon hitting the water.
This fish finder works with most newer iOS and Android devices; If you don’t have a waterproof phone, this fishing trip is the perfect time to invest in a waterproof case. You can get a waterproof pouch like the Moko Cellophone Drybag.

Yes the apps link will be useful

geekdigital:

Tech is everything..100%

Yes no doubt bro...Especially amidst smartphone usage

Kalapizim:
when is not snake

U re funny bro

This is good to know ..

Smartphone is part of our lives now, it can also be used to scan documents and extended

And we must also give kudos to mobile app developers and content writers who makes everything easier and work seamlessly

geekdigital:

yes they are doing great...With free apps

geekdigital:

But what annoys me most is the ads in those apps

geekdigital:

scan documents, how pls?

Geekhabeeb:

scan documents, how pls?

Yes bro..Do u use Infinix, if yes there's a barcode scanner under XShare

geekdigital:

Yes bro..Do u use Infinix, if yes there's a barcode scanner under XShare

Or u can check play store for scanner apps

Geekhabeeb:

But what annoys me most is the ads in those apps

Yes that's rampant..But that's there source of income since those apps are not paid apps

Geekhabeeb:

yes they are doing great...With free apps

Yes no doubt...No In app purchase

geekdigital:

Yes no doubt...No In app purchase

exactly my point

geekdigital:

Yes that's rampant..But that's there source of income since those apps are not paid apps

yes agreed, but at least they should minimize it..its crazy

geekdigital:

Or u can check play store for scanner apps

Thanks man

Geekhabeeb:

yes agreed, but at least they should minimize it..its crazy

That's true, but at the same time ..If ur device is Infinix, there's a fix for that...Just deny those apps Internet access under Xmanager

Geekhabeeb:

Thanks man

Welcome always bro

Geekhabeeb:
