In this video, I'll be showing you a couple of quick tips for saving mobile data and battery life with the Snapchat app for Android.
The battery-saving tip will cause you to lose Geofilter functionality, but it's well worth it, in my opinion.
Also, we're trying out a new format for videos. We'll still do the regular-style videos for new apps that need a full walkthrough, but when we find a quick tip to relay, we're thinking of using this new format. Let us know your thoughts on the new style for "Quick Tips" and whether or not you think we should keep doing it!

Get an Easy Escape Route for When Youre Stuck in the Wrong App
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/OpenLinkWith
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you a cool new app called Open Link With that uses Androids share menu to let you open links in any app of your choosing.
Android already lets you set third-party apps as the default handlers of certain types of links, but sometimes, links will still end up opening in the wrong app. Other times, you might want to open a link in a different app just this once, but that would require that you clear defaults and reset link-handling settings.
Thats where Open Link With comes into play. Whenever a link opens in the wrong app, just head to Androids share menu, then select this one from the list. It will ask you which app youd like to open the link with, but it wont mess with your existing link-handling settings.

In this video, Ill be showing you a cool little app called Boomerang Notifications that that lets you save notifications, or have them be re-posted again later.
With this one installed, you can continue handling notifications as you always have, but with one exception. When you tap or dismiss a notification, a second notification will appear asking if youd like to save the first one. From here, you can either save the notification to be viewed from Boomerangs main menu later, or you can have Boomerang re-post the same notification at a later time or date.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to make your next upcoming calendar event be displayed on Androids lock screen.
iOS has this feature, and Android used to as well, but the lock screen widget system was removed with the release of Lollipop. This simple Xposed module integrates your next calendar event directly under the clock on your lock screen, and there are various settings to customize the look.

In this video, Ill be going over 10 relatively minor quibbles that I have with iOS as a long-time Android user. I just got my first iPhone, and so far, things are off to a rocky start with all of these small annoyances.
Im not going to get into things that have been rehashed over and over again, like Siri vs. Google Now, and the locked down interface on iOS. But these issues Ive encountered in my first 2 weeks with an iPhone definitely start to add up, and theyre things you should be aware of if youre considering making the switch from Android to iOS.
In the future, I plan on taking a look at the other side of this debate, and Im currently looking into things that iOS does better than Android, so stay tuned for that.

Reddit is a gold mine for comments and discussion, but theres a lot of crap to sift through. With this app installed, however, you can continue using your favorite news app to find articles, but when you want to read what other people are saying about the topic, you can skip straight to the Reddit comment section.

In this video, Ill be showing you two methods you can use to swap the placement of the Back and Recent Apps buttons on your Nexus 6P. The first is a flashable ZIP, which can be installed with custom recovery.
The second is an option in GravityBox, which is an Xposed module, so youll need to be rooted with the Xposed Framework installed for that one.
Either way you do it, swapping these buttons out can be helpful. If youre left-handed, its a more natural layout. Or, if you own multiple Android devices and one of them is a Samsung with its backwards buttons, this can make switching between them a more consistent experience.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to install a leaked version of the Phone app from Googles upcoming Pixel and Pixel XL phones.
This doesnt require root, but youll need to be using a phone that is compatible with the Google Phone app, as its an updated and revamped version of that. Nexus phones will work, and a few other models might have some luck, so its worth a try.
Aside from that, the only requirements are that you have Android 6.0+ and Unknown Sources enabled. The new dialer app sports a cool and unique incoming call screen, as well as a completely revamped in-call UI.
