HOW TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING IN ANDROID JELLY BEAN 4.2

 USB Debugging and other Developer options in Android phone or tablet are most important thing for developers and advance users. I bet you have used it before if you played with stuffs like rooting, Installing Custom ROMs (CyanogenMod, Miui, etc.), Modifying system apps. From Android 4.2 Android Jelly Bean or above versions, you won’t be able to find USB Debugging option directly from Settings menu – unlike previous versions of Android OS. You need to enable it manually by following few steps. Google has disabled entire Developer options for people who don’t know anything about Android OS. They could messed up Developer Settings mistakenly. For that reason, it is hidden and there is no chance to find Developer options and mess up settings accidentally by a beginner.




To enable USB Debugging mode, follow the steps below

  1. Open Android Settings
  2. Chose About phone from bottom
  3. Find Build number and tap (click) 7 times
  4. Congratulations! You have just enabled Developer options
  5. Now, go to Settings > Developer options > check USB Debugging
If you have any problem regarding USB Debugging, please leave a comment

 Android is the most widely used smartphone platform out there and one of the reasons for that is there are hundreds of thousands of apps available for it.
From new launchers to make the homescreen look better, to music apps, picture apps, productivity apps like Word To Go and more games than you could shake a stick at, there's something for everyone.

Well, we at Know Your Mobile have come to the rescue and will guide you through the best apps to download onto your Android device, whether you're using a Samsung Galaxy Note, HTC One, Nexus 4, or any other device running on android
1. Lookout -- free
the first thing you should do to your android device is to secure it from malware,so this app is going to secure your device from malware attack,though it has many function when you use it as a premium user which will cost you about $2.99 dollar but u can enjoy it as a free user
2. Camera 360 -- free or $3.99 
if you the type that loves high definition images and your device is not offering you that,i think the solution is this great app called camera 360,Why? Because of the feature set. It shoots great HDR images, but you can also choose from other cool effects, the latest of which is called UFO and was just added in a December 6th update. You can use the free version, but I recommend grabbing the Ultimate version for $3.99.
3.ttpod --free 
ttpod is a very powerful music player for any android enabled device,it has the ability to download music lyrics and album art also the picture of the artist.it also have other cool function that can make you enjoy your music life on your device
4. Silent Sleep -- free
Silent Sleep solves a very basic problem. While many of us turn down the volume of our devices at night, vibration on the nightstand can still wake up light sleepers. This app completely mutes your phone, including vibrations. You can set it to go silent and wake up at your times of choice and by what days of the week you wish for it to be active.
The Google Play store is great, but it is not the only source for apps. Amazon is also great place to find apps and it features a different paid app for free each day. The retail giant also gets occasional exclusives on new apps.
6. Star Chart -- $2.99
Odds are that you at least occasionally look up in the sky at night and wonder what that particularly bright object is or wonder where a specific constellation is. Star Chart solves this masterfully. The app utilizes your phone's GPS, compass and accelerometer to identify your location and calculate what direction and angle you are pointing the device. It then tells you exactly what each thing is and it scrolls as you move the handset aroud.
7.whatsapp -- free
This is a very cool message app that reduces cost on sms both local and international,with whatsapp on your device you can send message or chat with anybody around the world once you have their name on your contact list and they are using the app
