How to fix the ringer volume keeps turn down itself in android OS

My phone ringer volume was turning itself down from last couple of days. I don’t know what causing this problem exactly but I had missed many calls by this strange behavior of my phone. I searched a lot for the fix and finally I found a fix, well this is not an actual fix but using third party app we can stop ringer volume to keep itself turning down/up.

Here is an app called Volume Locker, which is free and very useful app for those people who are facing this particular problem in their android phones.

This app will lock the ringer volume and prevent accidental volume changes by you or your phone by asking you to keep this change in the notification from task bar or a popup notification. If you don’t respond to the notification in 30 seconds (by default settings for the app, you can change it instant) this app will keep the ringer volume as it was before. If you tap the notification, this app will change the ringer volume.

Tips to Learn Anything on the Internet

These days, instead of using internet just for fun we can also educate ourselves. From past couple of months, I am learning new things from different sources on the internet. The advantage of using internet for self learning is that you can switch classes, teachers and styles on your desire.

One important thing you must cover before start to learn anything from the internet. It is desire to learn and self motivation. I remember when I started learning on the web it caused me different problems. Like, when I started learning HTML about a year ago. I was not enough motivated to learn it so after couple of days I skip classes and after some time I almost forgot about HTML. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself before started learning on the internet. In this post I discuss best advices according to my previous experiences to learn anything on the internet.

1 – Ask yourself

First you need to know what exactly you want to learn, which subject, language or class you want to take. For instance, if you are interested to learn any language on the internet; In this case you should ask yourself why you want to learn it. What are the benefits of learning this language? How you will feel about it when you start learning it? And you can ask as many questions as you want to yourself. It will clear your misconceptions and you will be certain about the topic.

2 – Find Sources

It is not that difficult task to find the sources on the internet. You can almost learn anything on the internet. Start searching for the topic which you decided to learn, for example you are interested to learn mathematics. In this case you can find thousand of online video, audio, written tutorials on the internet. You just have enough dedication to learn it. You can search on Google about any topic you are interested to learn. I am sure you will easily find the sources on almost any topic you want to learn on the web.

3 – Make schedule

Make schedule for your classes. Don’t try too hard to learn anything otherwise you will lose the concentration and motivation of learning it. You can make a schedule according to your daily routines and ease. If you can arrange some of the time just for learning, after some time you will be addicted to it.

4 – Record your achievements

I am not sure if it helps other people in learning things but when I started learning on internet I made an online private blog on the BlogSpot where I write about my daily routine and progress towards learning. It helped me remember things which I learned and it inspire me to learn more about it. So, if you can manage a blog or paper diary, this will be a plus point for you.

I hope you find these tips helpful to improve your online learning. I encourage you if you have any personal experience or suggestions about online learning, please feel free to use the comment box.
