Androis settings while travelling

Android Settings for Travellers

This is one of the important settings in Android to know your current location using Cell Tower info there by avoiding the use of GPS and A-GPS which kills the battery. This setting is much more useful for persons travel ling in Train overnight and with the help of this setting you can get the cell tower location information there by identifying the current location.


I have enjoyed this setting decade back in Nokia 1100 where it scrolls in the main screen and goes after some time where as in Android you will get this information as message.

Note: The result of this settings depends on your cellular operator. I have tested in Airtel network and its work fine most of the time which is very helpful during train travel.
