Hate Using Hardware Buttons On Your Samsung Android Phones ? Well , There Is Always An Alternative.

Well , I have always hate to use any hardware buttons like volume control button , power button and the home button. There are android apps available in the market which you can use to avoid using any of these hardware buttons at all.


1. The android app to replace volume control button is AntTek Quick Settings



There are many widgets also available in the play store but the above app  is just perfect for me.

The problem with the widget is that they are on the home screen and while you are using an app , so its kind of pain to go the home screen and change the volume and then comes back to your working app.


This AntTek sits right in your notification window and that is the best thing about it , where ever you are working inside any app , you can drag your finger and all the volume control options is at your fingertips and from there itself you can change the volume and return back to your app easily.



Although its a paid app , but you can edit the existing shortcuts on it and also add one more shortcut and for adding more than one extra shortcut , you need to buy the app which I don't feel any need to go for it.



2. The Android apps to replace power a button are Smart Screen ON LITE , Turn Off The Screen 






I generally used the combination of smart screen on lite and turn off the screen for avoiding any use of power button .



 Just recently I have started using Gravity screen but I have an intuition that gravity app may cause drainage of your phone battery pretty fast as compared to smart screen and turn off apps because this gravity app works on sensors and I don't feel the sensors are working as correctly as supposed in the app description and due to which the screen is always turned on while the gravity app is functioning and when gravity app is in paused state then drainage of battery is much slower , well , that's my personal experience with the app . But it is very nice app in terms of functionality whenever you take your handset in your palm for using , the screen just turns on instantly , no need to wave your hand or touch the power button and when the phone is in the pocket or on the table it just turns off depending upon the angle and proximity sensor through which it can sense that the phone is covered with something.Well that's all about Gravity screen app. Try it at your own risk.



The app which I am fond of for turning screen on is the smart screen on lite , I just need to wave over the phone once in one direction and phone screen turned on instantly and then I type the password and it is good to go.

You need to set the settings for how many times you want to wave and in the what direction inside the app settings.


The app which I use for turning screen off is Turn off the screen , just place a small shortcut on your Home screen and when you want to turn off the screen just press it and you are good to go.

The easiest and shortest way to turn off the screen ... The Hardware free !!!


3. The last but not the least is the home button , The android app to replace Home button which I have just recently found  is Floating Touch.



Well , previously there are so many android apps in the market which offer to replace your hardware home button but this app has all the functionalities which a hardware home button has.



Apps like Button saviour , Soft Home do offer the functionality of the home button but these apps are just good for returning to the home screen . But if you also want to open the recently used apps which you open by long pressing the hardware home button then in that case the Floating touch comes to your save.



If you want to just return to the home screen just do a single tap on the floating app icon and choose home.

and if you want to open recently used apps section , then for that you need to double tap the floating app icon and then the recently used app comes to your screen and you are good to go.


and if there is something very important you are doing on your android phone and you want the floating app to vanish off for the time being then for that you need to long press the floating app icon and then icon will be shifted to the notification window and from there with just one click it will be back as Floating app icon.



Happy Hardware free Androiding...!!!
