Do you constantly worry about data? I know I do. I cringe when a friend takes my phone and spends 5 minutes Googling something stupid. Data ain’t cheap! That’s why I like the new Chrome update, which reduces data usage by 50%. How does that work? Chrome 32 for Android reduces data usage simply by compressing it.

App Ops was a popular Android feature that allowed users to enable or disable operations on a per-app basis. It was found in the stock Android settings menu and it was very useful for many users. For some strange reason, App Ops was disabled in Android 4.4.2. I guess Google removed App Ops because developers didn’t like the idea that users could control how their apps worked.

Apps might try to set their own ring types, and changing notification settings around might cause your phone to beep during a text message but stay silent during a call.
