Have you ever been in a quiet room and had your phone ring so loudly that half the people around you nearly jumped out of their skin? Or perhaps you were in a place so noisy that you missed an important call because you couldn’t hear your phone ringing?
Android phones have a feature that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to match the ambient light level, and now a free app called Intelligent Ringer does the same thing for the ringer volume.
Intelligent Ringer won’t change the ringer volume when your phone is in vibrate-only or airplane mode and you can adjust the sensitivity and minimum volume level to your own preference, making it conform to your own personal hearing capability.
You can read more about Intelligent Ringer and download it for free in the Google Play Store.
I recently downloaded and began testing a Chrome browser extension I read about called Grammarly Lite, and let me tell you, it’s awesome! Once you install the extension you’ll see a little green “G” in the lower right-hand corner of every text box letting you know that Grammarly Lite is loaded and on the job.
If you ever find yourself needing to have a cracked laptop screen replaced, you can save quite a few bucks by ordering the replacement screen yourself and then taking the new screen along with the laptop to a repair shop for installation.
