Benefits Of Rooting Your Android Device

Rooting Your Android Device
Google’s Android is open, customizable and a highly versatile operating system compared to other mobile OSes. And rooting it allows users complete control on their devices. However, you may wonder as to what rooting your Android device involves and what are the benefits in doing so. First, it is essential to understand what rooting is all about.

For the uninitiated, rooting gives users root permission and access to their devices. Rooting also gives the users the ability to tweak the settings on their phones, flash custom ROMs on the phone for adding additional features, as well as modify the software on the device. However, rooting is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it can be done successfully provided the users follow the rooting instructions for their device carefully.

A thing to note is that with different kinds of Android phones available, the same rooting technique may not work for all. So before rooting, users need to ascertain whether or not a particular rooting method will actually work for their devices. Users should also know that doing so will void the manufacturer’s warranty on your device and there is a small chance that improper rooting can also damage the phone permanently. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of benefits to rooting your phone and it is a risk definitely worth taking.

Flash a custom ROM:

This is one of the best benefits of rooting an Android device. In simple terms, a custom ROM is a modified version of Android that users can install if they are not happy with the Android version that their device comes with. Adding a custom ROM adds more unique and convenient features to the phone that are not usually seen on their devices. Samsung devices are usually the most rooted of all, as users want to use stock Android ROMs that are much more agile than Samsung’s TouchWiz skin.

Flash a custom kernel:

A kernel allows apps on the phone to communicate directly with the hardware of the phone. A custom kernel helps improve the performance of the phone, enhance battery life, speed up battery charging, and also add advanced features such as Wi-Fi tethering on certain phones that do not come with this option.

Tweak under the hood settings: Users can tweak every little feature of their phone including customizing the keyboard layout, enhancing multitasking functionality, increasing the scrolling speed as well as adding interesting themes to the phone. Basically, rooting allows users to reach into the darkest corners of their phones and make the most of the changes that are possible.

Remove bloatware:

This is one of the best reasons for rooting. Often the phones are preloaded with software and apps that one does not use. These programs not only occupy the onboard memory, but can also drain the battery. Before uninstalling any apps, users should confirm that those apps are not vital to efficient functioning of their phones.

Backup:

Having a backup of crucial data and settings is highly recommended. Should a user want to migrate to a new Android handset or wishes to restore the deleted data to the current handset for any reason, then a backup must be readily available. This is also helpful even if the user is not rooting his/her device.

Apart from these benefits, rooting also helps to block annoying ads that appear in apps, boost the speed and battery life of the phone, automate everything as well as unlock certain hidden features in the device and install certain apps that are otherwise considered as incompatible.

Harmful Effects of Mobile Phones and their Solutions

Smartphone has so much penetrated radiation_levelin our daily life that now no one can think of without it. Excessive use of smartphone may cause health problems but if you are even using less a smartphone with bad SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), that is most dangerous





Limits for Safe Exposure to radio frequency (RF) adopted by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is 1.6 Watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). 
Any smartphone at or below this SAR (Specific Absorption Ratelevels is “safe” to use.

We can check Radiation level in terms of SAR of your smartphone by dialing a USSD code *#07# , if results shows SAR below 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg), then it is OK, otherwise you are advised to change your smartphone immediately.

Protect your loved ones as this also causes very harmful diseases like Cancer and Brain tumors.
If your phone has more than 1.6 watts per kilogram, then change your phone immediately.


Some tips -

1) Use your phone only when required. Do not always stick with it.
2) If Sim cards are not present in the mobile, then keep your phone at Flight mode, as this will stop the emergency signals and stop radiation.
3) Attend your Phone calls with your left ear.
4) Never sleep with your phone, as many of the people do, instead of this place your phone away at least 2 meters from you or use Airplane/Flight mode.
5) Attend your phone calls for minimum duration, use texting messages.
6) If you attend phone calls for a longer duration, then use earphones or Bluetubes / Airtubes 
as they are Radiation-Free.
7) Use Wired devices / Landline for no radiation 
8) Never use Bluetooth headsets, as they are as harmful as cell radiation
9) Prevent young children to use Cell, as Radiation are more harmful for them as they have thinner skulls.
10) Never attend calls when your battery level is low or you are in a Lift as this will increase the Radiation because in Lifts signals are cut and mobiles are forced to give out more radiation for signals
