How to Pause Android music by putting your hand over your phone

Android smartphones comes with great media players, but because of the lock screen, pausing music can take a few seconds. EasyMute is an Android app that allows us to quickly pause your music by simply putting our hand over the proximity sensor, even when our phone is locked.

Optionally, we can configure easyMute to lower the volume to a preset level. After installing easyMute, just tap the Enable easyMute button to turn it on.

That's it. Keep in mind that, in order for easyMute to work, your phone must have Android 2.1 or higher and a proximity sensor. For the Samsung Galaxy S III, make sure to enable the proximity sensor by going to Settings > Motion.

Thats It...!!

How To Ans Your Calls By Waving Hand With Air Call Accept

One of the fun air-gesture features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is called air call-accept, which lets you answer incoming calls by waving your hand over the phone. To give similar functionality to users of other Android phones, an XDA Developers member published a new app called Air Call-Accept.  

          
                          

 XDA Senior Member Williams.Joe developed Air Call-Accept, a free app which—you guessed it—allows you to answer calls without touching the device. As alluded to earlier, this is done by simply waving or coming within the range before the proximity sensor, meaning answering calls is as easy as holding the device next to your ear, as one usually would when speaking on the phone. When trying out Air Call-Accept, please be mindful that certain bugs may be present, as some users have reported that calls are being automatically accepted when the device is in an small enclosed area, such as the pocket or the bag.

Key features:
★ Answer calls
★ Reject calls (Paid version only)
★ Speaker on when answer call (Paid version only)
★ Send SMS when reject call (Paid version only)

How To Play YouTube videos in VLC

VLC is an extremely useful application for watching, recording, and streaming audio and video. And if you didn't know, you can also use it to watch your favorite YouTube videos.

The Benefits of Watching YouTube Videos with VLC

The streaming videos will play inside VLC Media Player just like any other local video file while offering some additional benefits not available inside the standard YouTube player. For instance:

1. You can choose Video -> Always on Top inside VLC and the YouTube video window will stick to the foreground while you work on other tasks.
2. Press the Loop button in the player controls and the YouTube video will play non-stop in a loop (also possible with Chrome add-ons).
3. You can change the Playback speed of the YouTube video and make it run slower or faster than the normal speed.
4. Use the Tools -> Take Snapshot option to capture a screenshot image of any frame or scene in the YouTube video.
5. Watch the YouTube videos without the ads. I played a couple of movies and music videos inside VLC and none of them carried any pre-roll ads.

Before you try watching a YouTube video in VLC, make sure that you have the latest version. This can be accomplished by clicking on the Help menu and then selecting "Check for updates." Evidently some of the small changes on YouTube's end can break this feature of VLC, so don't be surprised if you need an update in the future for this to work.

STEP  1 : 

Open VLC Media Player. Go to media → Open Network Stream.. (Press Ctrl+N)

STEP 2:

Go to youtube and find the domain name and video ID of the video. which looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjXn3V6DWiI
