People like me, schedule everything in our calender, even timings for study and blogging. It can also end up reminding me to go study at 3.am in the morning.

Since it is not easy to set the correct Date and time manually every time, the only way to do it is by changing the date and time to be automatic.

Then it will grab the  information from the network service providers and the headache is solved. Everytime it resets, time will be automatically corrected by Android itself.

There are several Android users who have asked this question time and again about setting the time automatically. Hence I decided to blog about it.

Set Date and Time Automatically

• Go to Menu -> Settings -> Date and time

• Select the Automatic option in it. Now android will use the Date and time provided by the Network and it will be surely correct

That’s it ! Done ! It’s so simple but still find a lot of people being stumped by this simple settings tip for date and time for Android phones.

Many such issues are solved by using open source alternatives which are not as good as the paid ones. Hence when it comes to gaming, everyone prefers Windows as it supports a lot of games.

Also, another drawback is we do not find a lot of games that run on Linux.

Here is a list of 5 funniest apps that I have used and found a good way to kill some time.

#1. Fat Booth

FatBooth, one of the popular app, helps you to think and visualize how a person would look with a few more pounds packed.

I saw this app on my brother’s iPhone first, and when I got my Android, I found it in there too. It’s a funny app to play pranks on your friends or teachers. Be careful of this app, it can also upset some people.

#2.Talking Tom Cat

One of the Funniest Android app I have seen. Very very funny, especially for the kids. My kid sister was completely addicted to this app on my phone.

The graphics are great and you can feed the Tom cat with milk, you can hit him or tickle him and also, he will repeat anything  that you tell, in a funnier voice. The app is enough to kill a lot of time and to give birth to a lot of fun! It works great with touch screen.

#3. Google Goggles

Actually, not exactly a funny app and has productive functions. You can take pictures of a logo, monuments, paintings, books or etc and search them. The goggles will tell you what they are, and it can even fetch the contact details from a business card. It is really funny to take images and search them and to get the correct result ( most of all time ). A great way to kill time.

#4. Pho.to lab

#5. Turbo Granny Free

These are my picks for the funniest apps on Android. Do you have any more to share, do drop them in your comments.

Unselect / Select Applications with msconfig

• Click on start (the windows icon), in the search column, type in ‘msconfig‘ and select the ‘msconfig’ program that appears. It’s a configuration option that microsoft had made to help users.

• It will open a new window. If you want to disable all the start up item, you can deselect the ‘Load startup Items‘, in the general -> Selective Startup -> Load startup items ( see the image). I don’t actually recommend it, because there will be several useful startup programs like security softwares and all. So, navigate to the tab ‘Start up‘

• Under the startup tab, you can see a list of all the programs that are designed to load at the Startup. You can individually stop these services by unselecting them.

Doing this can help you to stop those irritating startup programs like Gtalk, PC suites etc, which you might not use all the time and hence want it not to run by default every time you start the computer.

If you are using laptop then reducing this load on your computer will see a good increase in your computer’s speed along the battery lasting a lot longer.

Whenever you install an app, move it to your SD card from your phone memory. I have added some screenshots for it, so that you can easily understand it.

Note : This can be done in android devices with a version 2.2 (froyo) or above

Steps to move Apps from Phone Memory to SD Card

• Go to Home -> Settings
• Select the tab applications
• Select ‘manage applications‘ from the menu.

• It will show all the applications that you have downloaded.
• Now from the list given, select the app that you want to move. As an example, I am moving the compass to my SD Card.

• See, I have selected the compass from the list.
• Now the ‘manage‘ page of that app will appear. You could see a button called ‘move to SD‘ on the upper right of the screen (see in image).

• Select that and your app will be transferred into your SD card. So Here, The compass had moved to my SD card.
• Confirmation: We have to confirm that it was done successfully. To check this, make sure that the ‘Move to SD card‘ is now shown as ‘Move to phone’ and the app that you have moved (Compass) is shown under the ‘On SD card’ tab.

This confirms that it is done. Since the SD Card have much bigger memory than Phone memory, you can add a lot more apps to it.

Doing this can significantly cut your phone memory usage and can speed up your device. I strongly recommend you to move your apps to your SD Card.
