ONE PLUS 3T TIPS TRICKS

How do I make my OnePlus 3 better, faster, and more productive? With these tips and tricks!

The OnePlus 3 is one of the best phones you can buy for $399. Featuring a fantastic metal chassis, a 1080p Optic AMOLED display, Snapdragon 820 SoC, 6GB of RAM, 64GB storage, and a 16MP camera, the phone undercuts traditional flagships by a few hundred dollars while providing a similar user experience. Hardware prowess has always been OnePlus' forte, but this time around the software has also picked up much-needed polish in the latest version of OxygenOS, which offers a stock Android experience layered with several customizations.

Alert Slider

https://oneplusstore.in/3t

The three-stage Alert Slider made its debut last year, and is one of the best features on the OnePlus 3. The slider lets you quickly toggle between different notification modes — all notifications, priority, or silent. You also have the option of customizing what types of notification alerts are allowed when the phone is in priority or silent mode.

With the slider all the way down, you'll receive all notification alerts. The middle stage is for priority alerts, and you can put the phone in silent mode by pushing the slider further up.

How to configure the Slider on OnePlus 3

1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Navigate to Alert slider, located under theDevice category.
3. Toggle media, alarm, reminder, event, and message settings for Priority andSilent modes.

Change the button layout

With the OnePlus 3, you have the option of using the built-in capacitive buttons or software navigation buttons. The capacitive buttons are enabled by default, but you can easily switch over to on-screen navigation keys by heading into the Settings.

How to toggle on-screen navigation buttons on OnePlus 3

1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Navigate to the Buttons section, which is located under Personalization.
3. Toggle the on-screen navigation bar.

In addition to switching to on-screen buttons, you can alter the layout of the back and recent buttons if you're more comfortable with having the back button to the right. If you're sticking with the capacitive buttons, there is an option to assign secondary functions to each button, including different actions for long press and double tap. For instance, you can configure the home button to launch the camera with a double tap. Here's how to assign secondary actions.

How to assign secondary actions to capacitive buttons on OnePlus 3

1. In Settings, navigate to the Buttonssection.
2. Under Home button, assign a function forLong press action.
3. Assign a function for Double tap action.

You can also disable the backlight for the capacitive buttons.

Go dark

The OnePlus 3 has a dark mode that switches white and grey UI elements to black, including the notification shade, settings, and app drawer. The dark mode looks great on the AMOLED screen, and you can also customize accent colors that contrast the black background. Here's how to enable dark mode.

How to enable dark mode on OnePlus 3

1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Navigate to Customization under the Personal category.
3. Toggle Dark mode.

The phone also comes with a night mode that effectively acts as a blue light filter. If you've experienced eye fatigue after starting at your phone's screen for an extended duration after dark, harsh blue spectrum light is likely to blame. Thankfully, the OnePlus 3's system-wide night mode alters the display's color temperature so that it shows warmer tones, making it easier on your eyes particularly at night. You can adjust the strength of the yellow tint as well.

How to enable blue light filter on OnePlus 3

1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Head to Display, located in the Device category.
3. Toggle Night mode.
4. Adjust intensity with the slider.

Customize the display

Don't like the way the display looks on the OnePlus 3? The screen is calibrated to show cooler colors out of the box, but you can tweak the white balance to show warmer hues.

How to adjust white balance on OnePlus 3

1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
2. Head to Display.
3. Use slider to adjust color balance.
4. 
   While you're tinkering around with the display settings, you should enable ambient mode, which wakes up the screen for a few seconds every time you receive a notification (à laMoto Display). There's also proximity wake, which lets you switch on the screen by waving your hand over it.

   Shelf

   Shelf is a panel that sits to the left of your home screen. By default, it highlights your frequently-used apps and contacts as well as weather information for your current location. There's also a basic note-taking client, but the best part about Shelf is the ability to stack widgets vertically. To add a widget, select the floating action button on the right hand corner, and choose your desired widget. It's as easy as that.
   
   If you're not keen on Shelf and are looking to disable the custom screen, here's how you do it.

   How to enable Shelf on OnePlus 3

   1. Tap and hold anywhere on your home screen.
   2. Select Customize from the bottom right.
   3. Toggle Enable Shelf.
   

   Change icon and app drawer size

5. OxygenOS allows you to easily change the size of icons as well as the app drawer. If you feel that the standard icons are too large (or small), here's how you can adjust their size without using a third-party launcher.

   How to change app and icon size on OnePlus 3

   1. Tap and hold anywhere on your home screen.
   2. Select Customize from the bottom right.
   3. Swipe left twice to get to the Icons card.
   4. Select between small, standard, and large.
   5. Swipe left once again to alter the size of the app drawer.

   

   Customize quick toggles

   You can quickly arrange the layout of the quick toggles. Here's how.

   How to change quick toggles on OnePlus 3

   1. Swipe down from the home screen to pull up the notification shade.
   2. Tap the Edit icon located at the top right corner.
   3. Rearrange the tiles to your liking.

   

   Get a different battery icon

6. Don't like the default battery icon? You can change it.

   How to change battery icon on OnePlus 3

   1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
   2. Head to Battery from the Device section.
   3. Tap the battery icon in the top right corner.
   4. Choose your desired icon.

   

   Use gestures everywhere

   OxygenOS has gestures for various functions, such as opening the camera, controlling music playback, and switching on the flashlight. The one I like the most is double tap to wake the screen, which should be a standard feature across all Android phones.

   How to enable gestures on OnePlus 3

   1. Open Settings from your home screen or app drawer.
   2. Navigate to Gestures in the Personal category.
   3. Select the gestures you want to enable.

   

   Use the camera's manual mode

Top 10 Best Affiliate Networks

Affiliate marketing is still a multi-billion dollar industry and most affiliate marketers will use Affiliate Networks to search for offers for their websites.

Affiliate Networks are where Publishers (affiliate marketers) and Advertisers (merchants who create the products and services) connect with each other, providing affiliates with thousands of programs to promote, in one place.

Affiliate Networks are generally free to join and have a central database of available affiliate programs organized by category and popularity. While these are simple to register for, some may be hard to get into if your website doesn’t have a lot of traffic or visitors.

Click >here< to read “The Different Types of Affiliate Marketing” and their explanations.

Following is a list of 10 of the most popular Affiliate Networks, and a little bit about them.

CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)

CJ Affiliate is one of the biggest affiliate networks on the internet. Their website is easy to navigate and provides more reporting options than many other companies.

One great thing about Commission Junction is that when you join and are accepted into this affiliate network, advertisers within the network might seek you out to join their individual affiliate programs within the Commission Junction network. Therefore in some cases you could possibly bypass the individual program application process.

ShareASale

ShareASale is another of the biggest affiliate networks, having about 4000 partners, with a good 25% being exclusive to them.

ShareASale makes it easy to compare different offers and evaluate the best ones based on their metrics. They publish a significant amount of data on each of the offers running. This includes Earnings per Click, Reversal Rates, Average Sale Amount and Commission. They also have quick payments, minimum being $50.

A lot of people say they have had the most success with ShareASale. Whatever field you want to promote you’ll find it through this affiliate network.

ClickBank

ClickBank is a great choice for beginners, as you don’t need approval to promote their products.

In business for over 16 years, ClickBank is one of the largest online retailers with millions of unique products. Commissions rates are generally higher than some other companies, due to them specialising mainly in digital information.

Look to promote ClickBank products that show the highest average commission per sale, just take note of the return rates. If the rate of product returns is 10-20%, you might want to stay away.

LinkShare (now Rakuten Marketing)

Rakuten Affiliate Network, previously LinkShare been around since the early days of the industry, and have around 1,000 partners.  Although this is fewer  than the bigger networks like CJ Affiliate or ShareASale, they provide well known advertisers for you to work with as well as great customer service.

A great feature that I love about LinkShare is the fact that, they will rotate through the various banners automatically.  So instead of having to select which ad you want to run on your site, LinkShare lets several versions rotate by adding a small piece of code.

Affiliate.com

Affiliate.com has been around a very long time, and is one of most successful networks. They have great customer support who will work with you closely. They specialize in Cost Per Action (CPA) and Cost Per Sale (CPS) advertising offers. Their tracking system has the ability to track each affiliate individually and also gives each affiliate the ability to monitor their campaigns and commissions in real time.

It is said to be a favorite among affiliates, with highly responsive affiliate managers, high converting offers and timely payments.

eBay Partner Network

You can earn a lot of money with the eBay Partner Network, by driving high quality traffic to eBay or one of their partners. You will be paid when a user registers on eBay (through your link) and places a bid within 30 days of having clicked on your affiliate link, and also if a user registered in this way bids at an auction on eBay. You will need to have your website already set up with a decent amount of traffic or your application might be rejected.

eBay Partner Network has a great tracking system, and it’s important to set up this tracking facility. This will give you a better idea of how the consumers are reacting to your campaign.

Peerfly

PeerFly is an excellent CPA affiliate network with over 1,500 active affiliate offers. The network prides themselves on their very large, extremely loyal base of affiliates. Their website is much easier to use than other network’s, and have a huge amount of offers to choose from and also have a forum for their member’s.

Offering CPA, CPL and CPS and low minimum payout of $50, with very high conversion rates, Peerfly is relatively hard to get into if your a beginner marketer. However if you can get in, it has some great high paying offers.

MaxBounty

MaxBounty has a quick and easy signup process, and comes highly recommended by most internet marketers. The network has a big range of offers which ensures affiliates have a lot of options, and offer several different types of commissions like CPA, CPS and CPL.

MaxBounty pays affiliate commissions weekly after you receive your first payment, and the minimum payout of $100 and can be paid via check, Payoneer, Direct Deposit, wire transfer and Paypal. They have a good reputation among its affiliates and has received a good number of positive reviews over the years.

Clickbooth

Clickbooth provides a wide range of offers across different niches which has seen it rise to one of the best CPA networks to earn money in. The network has more than 3000 partners and is relatively easy to join. They offer CPA, CPS and CPL with a great tracking and reporting system in place and a built-in rotator that you can use to test different offers.

Clickbooth has some high payout rates for popular offers, and minimum payout is $50 via Paypal, Check, Direct Deposit or wire transfer.

Adsmain

Adsmain is a great network to work with, as only well performing offers are posted on the network. To guarantee quality, all offers are tested by AdsMain before they are listed. They are very selective when it comes to accepting affiliates to meet their high standards of service for both affiliates as well as advertisers.

Good offer selection, helpful affiliate managers, timely payments. Affiliates can earn even more money thanks to the 5% referral commission given by the company.

In closing…

The affiliate networks mentioned above are some of the best and most well reviewed networks in the world.
This top ten list is widely used by the top super affiliates who are making a great income from their affiliate marketing efforts.

The best way to decide which network is best for you is to try several of them out together. Using several affiliate networks at the same time, may take a bit of extra effort but you will learn the advantages one network has over the others.
