5 Things You Didn't Know Your Smartphone Could Do

3. Test Bed for Apps: An easy way to check if an app is necessary for your phone is to try it on your old smartphone first. Test for custom ROMs can also be done on your old phone because custom ROM allows you to install the latest version of operating systems. It can also remove unnecessary bloatware and improve the battery life of your phone.

4. Wireless Security Camera: One simple way to turn your old smartphone into a security camera is to download and install the “Free Internet Cam” app that is available for Android, iOS and Symbian devices. This app streams live videos that can be seen on another tablet or smartphone that supports streaming. All you have to do is to set up the smartphone in your preferred location, install the app and make sure that it is connected to your wifi network.

5. Standalone GPS navigator: Your old smartphone can also be used as a navigation devise that can help you travel through known or unknown streets. All you have to do is download an app that saves maps and locations when you are offline. Having a generic micro USB 12V car battery to keep the battery from draining out will be efficient to have in your car. The app Car Dashboard gives you a better view of the locations as it shows large icons, useful shortcuts and voice commands.
