Top 5 apps to make your smartphone smarter


Most of us today own an Android smartphone but don't take advantage of its full potential. For instance, there are several functions of a smartphone that need not to be controlled manually but we still do it as most of us are not aware of the right application for the function.


Here we have assimilated five such applications available on the Google Play store that allow your Android devices to simply be better. Notably, all these applications are available free of cost.


Gravity Screen On/Off


If you are tired of pushing the power button of your Android smartphone to turn it on, then this is the app for you.


The Gravity screen application is a replacement for the power on/off key as it makes the device aware of its orientation and when the device is held by the user it turns on the device so that the user does not have to press the power button.


The application basically monitors the orientation of the device through the gravity sensor to determine whether it should turn the screen on or not. But it gets smarter, even when your device is pointing downwards which should turn it on the applications utilizes the proximity to determine if it is covered.


If yes, the screen turns off because probably you placed the phone into your pocket or bag. To keep the battery usage low the program turns on the proximity sensor only when it's really necessary.


Moreover, when it turns your screen off and the proximity sensor is covered it puts your phone into deep sleep state to save as much energy as possible.
