16 Life hacks that will make you go wow


  • TINDER: I know many of us have been using this app from quite a long time but ever thought ho great it would be to get more than usual chances to swap or favorite users. We all get annoyed when the daily limit is over unless of course if you are a paid user. And if you are not read further. Go to Settings -> Date and Time and set it to Manual. When you are out of chances to swap, force stop the app, clear the data and change the date to the next day. And then open the app again. This will restore your swap numbers. Keep doing it as long as you want ;) Read more, don't go just yet and thank me later! Tinder: Tinder | Swipe. Match. Chat.
  • Whatsapp: Undoubtedly the best IM available for the smartphone right now, Whatsapp is widely used and quite popular for making it all so simple and appealing. But if you really wanna discover the wide capabilities of Whatsapp, then turn to the mods like GbWhatsapp which allows you to customize your whatsapp as you want and also add way many cool features including the read receipt modifications. Ever thought of self replying whatsapp ? Yes that can be done as well. Download this AutoResponder for WA Pro - Android Apps on Google Play and auto respond from your whatsapp ! Cool enough, huh ?

  • Amazon Flash Sales: Ever tried getting a phone or something from a flash sale on Amazon and got disappointed after watching “SOLD OUT” every time ? Here’s a trick that might help you out. On the sale day go to the flash sale page as soon as it is available. Try getting the name (id) of the buy button. Write a simple javascript using that id in the console window in Debugger tools of the browser which you can open using F12. use the setInterval and keep on making the button with id clicking every nanosecond. This way you will get your item in the cart as soon as the sale starts within the first millisecond.
  • Coupon Code/Discount Codes: Who wouldn’t like to have a discount or having something for free or getting a cashback while shopping online? Many of us simply go to the site and buy the products at the same price as listed. But next time just simply google the site name + coupon codes and you will be surprised to find a lot of coupon codes out there. Even if you don’t find the one you are looking for, I am sure you will definitely find something useful. You can also subscribe to this cool site : Online Shopping India | Best Deals & Coupons | Top Deals Online – DesiDime for getting a lot of offers and some are real steal deals !! 
  • Make your gmail more productive using Rapportive: Rapportive is an extension on Google Chrome Store which works with your gmail and shows you a hell lot of useful information about your contacts right in your inbox. It shows details like their LinkedIn, picture, twitter, facebook, location, etc. You can even see their feeds. I make use of this to connect people on LinkedIn since I get emails from many recruiters and I make sure to connect with them on linkedin even without the need of asking/searching for their profile. I highly recommend using this plugin. Refer the following image and notice the right bar.

  • Watching Shows/Match/Movies Online: We all at some point do turn to our phones for watching stuff online but are sometimes kept away because we are not in the same region as the online provider. For example, the Indians are highly acquainted with apps like Hotstar but cannot really use it if they aren’t in India. Now what you can do is to use a VPN app which is as simple to use as to call someone from a phone. You can use any of the VPN apps available in the app store like Free VPN proxy by Snap VPN - Android Apps on Google Play and just set the location to the country that app is meant for. That’s it. Enjoy all our favorite shows and movies without a glitch from anywhere in the world !

  • Facebook: We often blame Facebook app for eating our data and RAM with its heavy usage. If you are worried about that then use this app instead of Facebook app Facebook Lite - Android Apps on Google Play ! It’s a lighter version of the original Facebook app which consumes less data and RAM. But the best approach would be to use Facebook in the browser of your phone (preferably Chrome with Facebook notifications turned on). Log In or Sign Up

  • Battery Dead: I am quite sure most of you would be getting annoyed by the Battery Dead alert on your android smartphones. Even I used to be one like that. But then I started using this cool app called Greenify - Android Apps on Google Play and it has certainly improved my phone’s battery life. Even though most of its feature are for a rooted phone, the main purpose is covered even if you are using a non-rooted device. What it basically does is to force stop all the apps that you choose previously by its own on one click. Isn’t that cool ?

  • Getting distracted because of your phone ? : It’s the toughest thing in this world to get rid of our phone. No matter how hard we try to stay away we fail eventually. But what if your phone starts getting away from you ? This is exactly what this ( OFFTIME ) - Distraction Free - Android Apps on Google Play app does. This app makes the phone such that it wont let you use anything and constantly reminding you that you have more better things to do. I use this all the time during my exam preparation. It is really worth. Some of the screenshots of this app area as below:



  • Pain in the Arse for Web Developers: I have been working in Web Development from quite sometime now and the most annoying thing I have experienced are the UI bugs. There is nothing more evil than this. If you are a Web Developer you will surely agree. But I have been observing a pattern and hence developed a trick to help us there. When you are facing an usual UI issue or if the issue doesn’t seem to get fixed even after you wrote proper code for it, simply delete the browser cache and run again. Trust me, at least 20% of the UI bugs are due to this cache. Just keep clearing the cache every time you get an UI issue. There is a high chance that the issue is due to the cache. Check the below screenshot. This is what we need to do:




  • Worried about pictures taken from Phone?: Sometimes we expect too much from our phone’s camera. We forget that it’s not a DSLR, its just a phone. But yes I have a trick to satisfy your undying expectation. From next time just click a picture even if the colors are not so good and the combination doesn’t fit better. Just click it from a good angle and capture the subject well. Next download this cool app (best app ever) Snapseed - Android Apps on Google Play and open your picture in this one. I know you must be thinking that this is editing and we know nothing about it but this app doesn’t require you to know editing. Just select a pre-template and then if you want select different features, play with it while comparing it with the original click and you’ll end up making it a spectacular picture. Best trick is to use the HDR default template for most of the pictures except a potrait and then using the “Tune Image”. This works for most of the pictures well.
  • Earn while you spend: We often spend a lot of money buying stuff online. What if you start getting some % of it back when you buy anything ? It would be the greatest excuse to shop again and again right ? (Until your bf pays for it :p) ! There are a lot of wallet sites that have their plugins for web browsers. Just make an account with those. Whenever you go to an e-commerce site, these plugins will get activated and show you how many % you can get if you buy some particular item. Many of them even show the site to buy it in the cheapest price. One such which i used was Jollywallet which is not working anymore but there are hundreds of other similar plugins.
  • Dating Trick on OkCupid: We often swipe and text a lot of people on OkCupid but hardly get reply from them. Reason is that we don’t write something tempting or interesting to them. Even if you read their profile and then message something about it, they may not reply. So this trick may not work all the time but works better than anything else. Next time when you come across an interesting profile, read the profile bio’s and then scroll down and click on the questions they have answered. Go through all of them. And answer few of them yourself too to reveal their answers. you will get a lot of info about that person which you can use to message them and will be most likely to get a response.

  • Plagiarism for Bloggers: There are times in a Bloggers life when the plagiarism affects him/her. No matter how much they know they have to adopt some content but don’t have time to change either. During such situation you can make use of an article spinner like Free Unlimited Web Content and many others like this. Once you do that, copy the entire article in Write your best with Grammarly. This is undoubtedly the best thing for writers. You can validate all your mistakes here and correct it before finally posting on your blog.
  • 1 TB cloud storage for free: How great it would be if a cloud drive gives you 1TB cloud storage for free for an entire year and also that you can keep the storage as it is after an year ? This is quite possible. I have always been subscribed to Microsoft offers because they often have some tempting offers for the users. Once i came across one such offer last year and it said that I can get 1 year 1 TB free storage on One Drive. I signed up and bang I really got 1TB which was overwhelming. Look at the screenshot below: Microsoft OneDrive
But what followed next was even more exciting. Not only I got free 1TB storage but also got office 365 free to Install on 1 PC or Mac, 1 tablet, and 1 smartphone. Additionally they also gave 60 minutes of Skype calls every month - “Stay in touch with family and friends with 60 minutes of Skype calls to phones in over 60 countries/regions every month.” Refer the screenshot below:
So the trick is to immediately get subscribed to their products offer and when you find one, check the region of that offer, turn your account to point that location and then add your credit card info as well. Do no worry since Microsoft won’t directly charge you after 1 year without letting you know. And bam you will get these exciting freebies.
  • LinQ tricks: I was doing a LinQ query and I am very new to it. I had to compare a string from the model value to the Repository value. It took me a lot of time to find the equivalent of “Like” keyword for LinQ. Few possibilities that I found were “ x.Hierarchy LIKE string”, “o.OrganizationsHierarchy.Hierarchy.Conatins(“string”)”,”SqlMethods.Like(“string”)” but these were too complex for my scenario. But then I found a easier and a convenient way and it was to use o.IndexOf(string) >= 0″. It worked well and is easier to understand.

DISCLAIMER: Some of the above mentioned hacks are illegal, won't get you in prison though but may get you blocked. But it's worth the risk, isn't it?

  1. I hate that INK For ALL doesn't feature a Microsoft Word plug in like Grammarly has but their Wordpress plugin makes up for it. No more exporting text. Also INK FOR ALL optimizes SEO so it's better.
