In this episode, some cool hacks for your phone!
Now if you want a quiet notification,
and you don't like it on vibration,
here's a nifty trick!
Go to your settings,
go to General,
then to Accessibility,
LED flash for alerts,
and you turn them on.
So every time you get a notification,
it will flash.
Let me show you how it works!
So now I'm going to get my friend to call me.
Okay go!
Are you calling?
Here it goes!
Can you see it flashing?
Strike a pose.
I use this personally. Now, why do I use it?
There's no real good answer for that one.
I guess I like the zz zz zz zz.
I just think it looks cool, okay?
Now I'm sure all of you know
that you can customize your ringtone for different people.
But!
Did you know that you can actually customize your vibration as well?
Ladies?
Anyway, I'm going to show you how to do it.
So if you're using an iPhone,
you want to go to your Settings.
And then you want to go to Sounds,
Ringtone
and then you want to go to Vibration,
Create New Vibration.
To create a pattern,
you just need to tap to create the vibration that you like.
Wow it's like...
Did you hear that?
Save it, and you can name it,
and you can assign it to whichever contact you like!
Go to your contacts, and I'm going to save it to Gillian,
Edit
Then you want to go to Ringtone,
Vibration
Assign
Done deal.
Okay so I'm going to get her to call me.
G call me!
Oh.
There it is!
This also works for Android,
go to your Contact
scroll down all the way to the bottom,
go to Vibration Pattern
and then you can choose whichever vibration you want.
And done deal, baby.
If you're travelling to another country
and you're having difficulty reading foreign language,
here's a really cool app to download.
It's called Google Translate
and it is bloody genius.
As you can see, I have a sign up on the computer.
It is half in Chinese and half in English.
The English part doesn't make sense.
What is "No Nothing"? I don't know.
I'm going to find out.
So, all you have to do, go to Google Translate.
Go to the camera
hold your camera over the sign
and then it instantly translates the words into your preferred language.
So as you can see it says "ban climb"
änd I guess that means no climbing?
Ha!
So cool right?
So this is really handy for whenever you are travelling
and you can't read things.
Another cool thing that this app can do is vocal translation.
This is bloody awesome!
So say for example I am in China,
and the person that I am talking to doesn't understand a word of English.
All I have to do is jump onto this app,
push the microphone and say,
"Where is the closest restaurant?"
Right?
How awesome is that?
I think it is genius.
Whoever made this app is bloody genius.
So say I want to do reverse,
and do from Mandarin to English,
all I have to do is go into here,
How are you?
It understood me.
Awesome!
You can travel anywhere and not have language barrier.
Many of you may have lots of hard copy photos.
People my age, more so.
Now if you have a bunch of old photos
and you want to keep digital copies,
and you don't have a photo scanner,
here's a really cool thing you can do.
Download a free application called PhotoScan.
Now I have with me a very embarrassing life album,
which was very nice of my mum to make.
I do love it but it's very embarrassing to show the whole world.
There's naked baby photos in there,
and you see my vagina.
I don't want to show the world my vagina.
So I'm going to try and jump straight to a page,
where it's like a decent photo,
where I'm not naked!
It's here.
So here's a picture of me and my Papa.
My father is Singaporean,
and he was a mega hipster back in the day.
I think I was about 2 years old in this picture?
Now, if I were to take a normal photo of this photo,
there will actually be a glare.
You kind of have to move around to get rid of the glare,
and it's really irritating.
Well. With this app,
it actually takes the glare out.
So I'm going to take a photo of the photo,
as you can see it's really glaring,
and it's gonna have four dots.
So I've just got to match each corner
to the dots, let it load up,
and here it is!
How cool is that?
No glare,
me and my father!
How are you, Ah Chua?
Here's a nifty trick if ever you lose your phone.
Set your lock screen with some details
so that whoever finds it can return it back to you.
Type out a message on your notepad,
so you want to screenshot that,
and then I want to set that to my lockscreen.
You go to your Settings,
go to Wallpaper,
choose a new wallpaper,
Camera Roll,
set that to your lock screen.
And that is all set.
So when I close that,
all the information is right there.
Now that you know how to do it on the iPhone,
I'm going to show you how to do it on an Android.
Go to your Settings,
go to the Lock screen and security,
Info and app shortcuts,
and then Owner information.
If found, call... There's a reward!
And done.
And there you have it -
all the information if you lost your phone.
I have lost my phone once before,
I was in Bali,
I didn't get it back.
Unfortunately, the person wasn't a good person
and didn't return my phone.
So. Hopefully,
it would work out for you guys.
So you know how if you want to charge your phone,
and the outlet is too high up on the wall?
There isn't a high wall outlet in this house
so this is the high wall outlet that we've made
and this is the phone charger.
The phone charger is really, really short.
It's going to be dangling like that,
which I don't think is very good for your phone.
So here's a really simple hack.
All you need is a paper bag.
So I'm just going to hold this up to the outlet,
plug it in,
plug my phone in,
and put it inside... the bag.
And there you have it!
A nice little hammock for your phone.
Now if you don't have a paper bag,
you can make a makeshift holder.
I used a piece of paper
I made this shape, fold that up,
hold it against the outlet,
plug it in,
grab your phone,
and then you just slide your phone in like so.
Now if you're one of those people that always forget where you park your car,
here's a really nifty trick.
Go to your Google Maps,
the blue dot is exactly where you're at
so you want to push on the blue dot,
and then you want to go down to Save your parking,
and then you can add more info.
You can put notes, you can also set a timer for when your parking expires.
And you can also add photos,
so you can take a photo of where your car is at,
so there you have it, I've saved where my park-
Okay.
So there you have it!
I have saved where my car is parked.
So when I want to find my car,
I just go back to Google Maps,
you parked here.
Time left - 59 minutes.
And there you have it.
Here's a really cool prank that you can trick someone with -
now I recommend this for someone that is not tech-savvy.
Ma...
I'm sure all of you have some older relatives that are...
...not very good at using the phone.
Okay so I want to teach you a really irritating trick
that you can play on them.
So first thing you want to do is go to your Settings,
and then to General
Keyboard,
and then you want to go to Text Replacement.
I'm going to put "harlem shake"
and then the shortcut can be...
"dishes".
So I want to Save that.
So whenever someone writes "dishes",
"harlem shake" would come up.
For an example,
if my mum would have text me
"Rebecca have you done the dishes?"
It comes up as "harlem shake".
How annoyed would that be?
So all of you out there go have a field day
and play with each other's phones.
Don't say I teach you.
Don't say I say.
