If you are using Android Smartphone, like taking quality photos and you are not yet using Google Camera App on your phone A.K.A Gcam you are missing out. In fact, I've made a Gcam for all Android Playlist here:
Gcam for All Android: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqvtTjaH4ztUA8lL6A8SNCkEuO1kN3Drh
But if you've already heard about Google Camera App (Gcam) then the latest Gcam 7.4 is on another level when it comes to taking pictures from your Android smartphone.
From how to download and install Gcam to how to get the best advanced settings to take Pro DSLR quality photos from your smartphone at times and in all Scenario.
in the video above, I delved into what I tagged four major parts of Gcam Advanced Settings tweaks. Detailing each advanced settings that are relevant and related to the various categories.
#1 High Dynamic Range (HDR) Advanced Settings.
This is where Gcam stands out from any other Android camera app. The processing and the algorithm of the HDR, HDR+ AND HDR+ ENHANCED is just awesome. Yet, in the advanced settings, there are few settings that makes it get better...

#2 Image Quality Advanced Settings.
Gcam 7.4 image quality is already on another level by default nevertheless, there are some settings in the advanced settings that takes it to the next level.

#3 Post Picture Processing Advanced Settings.
This one is what makes Gcam stand out. The capability of this Gcam to use every resources available in the CPU/GPU to get the best pictures out of every scenario is just mind blowing and there are several settings to even make it better in the advanced settings.

#4 Night Sight and Astrophotography Advanced Settings.
If you think that Google Night Sight is great, in this Video tutorial, I used some few tweaks to make it even better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDNYhvAtrWA

Telegram Officially Released the Long awaited Video Calling feature on August 14th 2020 to mark its 7th Year Anniversary.
To have the video call feature you also need to update your Telegram app to version 7+

The company also promised it would bring the group video calling soon.
So, is it better than WhatsApp Video Calling?
For starters and security experts, it has End to End Encryption for the video call which is a big plus security wise.
Picture in Picture mode makes it fun you can do other things in yourphone while looking at the screen (front camera)
And it is poor network friendly (Glo users rejoice... �)
in my opinion having used it for about three days with poor network, it has a way of holding on to the call without reconnecting like whatsapp always even in voice call.

PhonesGcam 7.3 For Infinix, Tecno, Gionee, Xiaomi & All Android Phone Wt MTK Processor by Smartdepotng(op): 4:40pm On Aug 24, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUtUGHB5GOI

A lot of people have asked me about Gcam for their Android phones with MediaTek (MTK) Processor because they have tried many Gcam ports and none seem to be working for them. Well, I have finally found about 4 different Gcam ports that worked just fine on MediaTek devices which includes Tecno, Infinix, some Xaiomi phones etc.

I actually tested over 50 different Gcam ports and finally picked 4 that worked okay with great picture quality including the newer Version Gcam 7.3.

So, Why is it hard to find a Working Gcam Ports for Android devices with MediaTek Processors?

First, Processor differences!
You may ask, but many Android apps works just fine across different processors? Yes! For Apps designed for All Android devices, The Pixel Google Camera App A.K.A Gcam was designed Exclusively for Pixel devices from OG Pixel phone. So, a lot of Gcam processing depends on SoC hardware chips to carry out further processing. This Apps takes advantage of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor's dedicated DSP units, Ai Units to further process Images and since some of these sub chips are not in MediaTek SoC, the app will likely not work well or crashes once called upon to carry out some functions.

#2 Development Friendliness
MediaTek is not developer friendly. Some of their processor codes are not open source. So, even if a developer chooses to re-engineer the app (Gcam) to work fully with MediaTek Processor, there is a higher probability that some bugs can't be fixed in the app due to limitations from not knowing processor codes or tags.

There are more other reasons but let me stop here because we actually found some working Gcam on MediaTek devices with HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced
Download links are in the video description so check it out and let me know if it worked on your device.

PhonesBest Free App To Watch Live Sports, Movies And TV Shows On Android by Smartdepotng(op): 5:55pm On Aug 16, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAjBOV33cV8

There are tons of things that are free on the internet however, the problem of free, strong or cheap/truly unlimited internet connection is a big problem for many of us here in Nigeria.

Today I bring you an app that gives you the opportunity to watch almost anything free.
If you have data to burn or free Wi-Fi then you should check out Live TV dot Net.
In the video I compared it against DSTV Now app and the main thing here is you don't need a Google certified device to use this. You can sideload it to Android TVs, Amazon fire stick, Android TV boxes etc.
Video On Demand, Live Events, 24/7 channels, Live Sports,TV Channels and loads more.
The main (and only) downside for me is ads - you have to watch skippable video ads before opening the streaming links.
From my usage of it, the ads are less intrusive than let say Modbro and others. And there is option in the settings to turn of notifications.

This app is a must have!

NB: This app is not available on Google Play Store (the same name can be seen on play store) but the official website is in the video description.
You can check it out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2n2cVt58Q

First, I don't want to hear that you lost a contact, I mean, it's 2020 you shouldn't be saying that after watching this video.
Are still saving contacts on on your sim card or phone? Come on, you can't be serious, are you?
If you lose your phone or sim damages then you will just lose all those important contacts?
Are you still writing out your contacts in paper as backup? Come on granny, this is 2020! How long can you keep that paper safe before it gets lost or stolen?
This video was actually inspired by seeing someone writing out contacts on paper so, I picked her phone and did this whole tutorial from it.

#1 Default Save location for you contacts

#2 Copying all contacts from phone storage and sim to your Google Account.

#3 The sync issues - this can make you still lose contacts even when you are using Google Contacts.

#4 Merge duplicate contacts automatically.

#5 Restore contact changes

#6 Transfer your contacts from Android to iPhone or other platforms

#7 External Contacts backup

And lots more...

Okay You may have heard about Gcam App (Google Camera) which is an Android app exclusive to Google Pixel devices but now ported by developers to other Android devices especially those that are Using Snapdragon Processors from Qualcomm (The same processor that Pixel devices use)
NOTE:
The latest Gcam 7.4 won't work on Android devices using MediaTek (MTK) Processors like Tecno, Infinix, Doogee, Gionee etc.
Will Not work on Samsung devices using Exynos Processors.
Will not Work on devices Using Huawei Kirin processors including Honor devices.

There maybe Older Gcam versions that may be compatible with non Snapdragon Processors but such maybe outdated versions and their performance may be worse than the stock camera app.

Phones10 Facebook App Settings You Should Change Right Now by Smartdepotng(op): 11:42pm On Jun 06, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHlxCvJHkmY

Incase you are wondering why your limited data plan is finishing quickly in the lock down, Facebook says hi but beyond that, this short video will also open your eyes to see lots of privacy/ads settings to change which are turned on by default once you log into Facebook App.

If you don't want to see the video (which shows it step by step) then we've got you covered below as we summarized it below.

Well, if You log into the Facebook App (in this case Android App) here are my top 10 settings that you should Change and my reason for telling you to change it.
#1 SAVE YOUR LOGIN INFO (ON THIS DEVICE)
DON'T DO IT at least for security reasons. If you log out of the device, your login info still remains there if you didn't wipe Facebook app data and that could lead to a security breach.

#2 TURN OFF LOCATION.
Facebook uses your location for mainly ads and other kind of profiling so, always turn it off. That doesn't mean that Facebook won't know your location but at least they'll have to do a little more work to Get it (as I'll show later)

#3 TURN OFF START VIDEO IN TIMELINE WITH SOUND FROM SETTINGS
Anyway, this mainly serves Facebook interest were ads that pop up on timeline plays Automatically. At least, give yourself the chance of being the one to click on an ad because the title is catchy or the thumbnail interesting.

#4 TURN ON OPEN LINKS EXTERNALLY.
You should be the one to choose which browser opens URLS from inside Facebook App. If not, Facebook will automatically track your browsing history, activities and behaviors

#5 CLEAR YOUR BROWSING HISTORY
Since you have turned on open links externally, it is important that you also clear any browsing history left on Facebook.

#6 AUTO PLAY VIDEOS ON MOBILE DATA AND WIFI
May not be bad if you are on unlimited data plan but come on, on mobile data too? by default? Not a good news if you are on limited data. Moreso, this dumps a lot of data on app cache.

#7 & #8 ADS PREFERENCES
Ads Preferences setting is interesting because it has a lot of settings on by default that makes you want to wonder why they are on by default. There are two major parts I looked at here - Your information and Ads settings you just have to turn everything off.

#9 OFF-FACEBOOK ACTIVITIES - TURN IT OFF!
This one is so deep we made a YouTube video for it you just have to turn it off.


#10 Privacy settings.
There are loads of settings in the privacy settings that you need to change by default. You really need this one...
