With these tricks many things can be done, for example – taking photos in a panoramic view, making your phone as a movie projector, checking a TV remote, converting your regular cam into a high resolutions lens and increasing your phones sound, etc.
So, let us start
Note: Some of these tricks might not work, as they are phone specific.
Check your TV remote or any other remote
To find if your remote control of a TV, Speakers or a DVD is working, you can test it with your smartphone. Sometimes changing the battery is not the solution and you want to be sure if it’s working or not.
To find out if a remote is working or not, you need to to keep your remote sensor in front to your smartphone camera. Keeping your phone’s camera ON, press any button on your remote. If the sensor is showing a blinking light, it means your remote is fine.
This doesn’t work on iPhones (iPhone 4s, 5s – tested)
Convert your smartphone in a Projector
To make a movie projector, you need to cut the handle of a magnifying glass. Keep that inside a shoe box and make a cut-out of the lens by marking the area. After making this hole in the shoe box, place the lens and make it fit by using adhesive or glue.
Now we have to make a stand inside the shoe box for our smartphone. To make this stand, use ‘Thermocol’. Before making this stand take dimensions of the box and cut two long pieces of ‘Thermocol’. The ‘Thermocol’ cutout should be like we can move it inside the box. Make an L-shape by fixing them together as it makes a perfect 90-degree angle. Now you can stick your smartphone on this L-shaped stand with a tape.
Now play a video on your smartphone and keep it aligned with the lens inside the box. You will see that there is a video output coming through the lens. When you play a movie, keep your smartphones brightness to 100% and the quality of the output will be better.
Click photos with your Earphone

You can click a picture without touching your phone with the play/pause button. Plus the volume buttons can work as a Zoom-in and Zoom-out option. The biggest use of this trick is in taking selfies.

The central characteristics of a panorama shot is the 360-degree view angle. Typically all the people around can be seen in the photo, but if you want you can come in this picture multiple times.

In this situation click the picture from your phone camera by placing a droplet of water on the camera lens. That way your smartphone camera improves the zoom, and the close-up photos will be snapped with better quality.
