Sometimes you get new smartphone before the old one broke. The reasons may be different - technomania, an increase in work, "I have long wanted good camera”, “Dad, it’s my birthday” ... The question is different: where to put the old one? Submit for recycling? Sell? Gift to someone?
Let's say right away that in any case you should not throw away the phone: take pity on the environment, the insides of the mobile phone and the plastic for it. We bring you a list of tech, fun and weird ideas on how to use old smartphone with benefit.
game console
It's easy to connect your Android phone to your TV using the Chromecast streaming service or a USB to HDMI cable. Download an emulator with a selection of your favorite classic console games and enjoy! Apps exist for everything from Super Nitendo to Sega Genesis. As a joystick, any one that works via Bluetooth, for example, from PS3, is suitable.
For training
You can keep using your old smartphone at the gym or jogging. Delete everything unnecessary applications, but rather do a rollback to the factory settings and reinstall the ones you need. Pull out the SIM card and in no case log in through Facebook or Vkontakte - and no one will distract you. Download good programs workout and audio player, download your favorite music. And go for a run.
Desktop computer
Why not? Modern smartphones that are sold in Ukraine, for example, on y.ua, are significantly more productive than computers ten or fifteen years ago. In fact, the filling is not particularly different. You can install on your smartphone operating system from the Linux family, connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse (via Bluetooth or a USB hub) and your computer is ready. Give it to your grandmother, give it to a child to be torn to pieces, or simply put it as a backup - it's up to you.
Navigator
And here's a way to save money: you don't have to buy a GPS navigator if you have an old smartphone. Just install a suitable application or several - MAPS.ME for offline maps, Yandex.Maps - for cases when there is Internet ... At the same time, such a navigator can function as a car radio.
A virtual reality
Have you heard of Google Cardboard? These are glasses virtual reality, which are designed for use with a smartphone as a screen and cost only $20. Well, or half an hour of fuss with an unnecessary cardboard box. Of course, most virtual reality applications are still in their infancy. But it's still very interesting. And you will definitely outrun most of your friends in the "technology race"!
A small note: for applications to work correctly, you need a good gyroscope. Or at least some kind of gyroscope. Before you slaughter your favorite laptop box, make sure your old phone has one.
Alarm
Seriously, who else uses an analog clock these days? And for smartphones, there are an almost endless number of applications with a variety of clocks and alarms. Just add a cheap docking station.
WIFI repeater
Is the signal from the router in the room not reaching the kitchen? Use your old phone as a repeater. You will need to install a special application, for example, fqrouter2 and root rights.
Video monitoring
A smartphone is not only a SIM card slot, but also a camera! How about a custom home security system? You will need WIFI, some patience and an appropriate application. By the way, the second application is equipped with a motion detector and can, upon noticing a suspicious movement, send you photos to email.
Digital photo frame
To turn your smartphone into a self-scrolling photo album, install an app such as Dayframe and place it anywhere you like. Does not work well on smartphones with small screens. We strongly do not recommend nailing such a photo frame with nails.
Brain for a robot
The fact that every smartphone is a computer in the soul, we have already decided. And the "brain" of the robot is also a computer! So if you were a fan of Asimov as a child, or you are haunted by the laurels of crazy inventors from YouTube, you have great scope for experimentation. By the way, ready-made sets are also sold, but it's not so interesting!
baby monitor
By the way, with the help of an old smartphone, you can watch not only the house during your absence, but also a small child. There are, again, a lot of baby monitor programs. Baby Monitor, for example, can broadcast video and audio, and contains instructions for using the baby. The only problem is that unlike conventional baby monitors, the baby monitor is not shockproof and does not tolerate chewing on it, so secure the phone so that the child does not reach it.
Just in case
Get some SIM card with a “calls only” tariff, put fifty hryvnias in it and put the phone with a spare battery in the glove compartment and forget about it. Recharge the battery periodically. A great backup means of communication in case something went wrong or gas ran out at the same time as the money on the main phone.
Donate to Charities
In any city there are organizations that collect clothes and other useful things for children from orphanages. Smartphones in Ukraine fall into the category of "useful things" quite well.
No matter how good and high-quality any thing is, over time it inevitably breaks down, and often so that it is impossible to restore it. And sometimes it happens that in honor of a birthday (or just for no reason) you get a novelty as a gift, and then you puzzle over what use to find an old, but quite suitable thing. Just throwing it away is a pity, but storing it without use is not interesting. In this article we will tell you what can be done from Perhaps some of our ideas will seem quite interesting to you.
If everything is in order with the phone, it can be used for a second SIM card or sold. In the latter case, it makes sense to look for a store that accepts old mobile phones for spare parts. Prices for admission there are small, but if they offer too little, you can try to place an ad on the forum or in the newspaper. In the latter case, you will have to wait until there is someone who wants to (if there is still one), but then you will get more money.
What can be done from the old mobile phone if the hull is damaged
In this case, it will be very original to come up with an exclusive design for the device from improvised means. A new case can, for example, be knitted or made from an ordinary pack of cigarettes. Here, as they say, who has enough imagination for what. As a result, no one will have such an apparatus. You can try to make a USB camera out of it for communicating on the network or an alarm for a car.
What can be done from an old mobile phone if the display is damaged
Oddly enough, this part of the cell breaks very often. Either manufacturers deliberately limit the service life of their products in this way, or it does not occur to them to improve the strength of their devices. Should the phone fall to the ground one or several times, and at best there will be an ugly scratch, and at worst, the display will stop showing anything at all. If this is just your situation, do not rush to get upset. Firstly, the display can be completely replaced with another one, and for older models the cost of such a repair is relatively small. Secondly, such a device can be used as an independent mobile device to listen to uplifting music.
The only thing you will need to take care of is the speakers and, possibly, if the model is old, an adapter from the headphone jack on the old phone to a regular 3.5 mm diameter.
What can be done from if it does not even turn on
The first thing that comes to mind is a mobile phone throwing competition! Surely you have a few friends who also do not know what can be done from an old mobile phone when nothing works at all in it. In this way, it will be possible not only to have fun, but also to meet friends who have not been seen for a long time. So, put an empty box in an open area at a distance of 5-7 meters - and you can start the competition for accuracy! Or you can simply bet who will throw their device further. Creative and fun!
Articles and Lifehacks
Many do not even suspect that you can make a unique puzzle out of an old phone in 5 minutes. How else can you use an old mobile phone?
Cell phones in modern society are not only a means of communication, but also an indicator of the status and image of their owner. But sooner or later the model becomes obsolete. Replaced by a new machine. But where to put the old one?
Ideas for using obsolete devices
A few ideas for a used "cellular":- Sale in the store. Many hardware stores are happy to take used phones for sale. Of course, it will not work to bail out a large amount of money, but it will be enough for a new case.
- Give your phone to someone who needs it. Give to a younger brother, grandmother or mother. The older generation is not chasing new products, so the old phone model may suit them just fine.
- Use cellular telephone as home or second number. Just buy another sim card.
- Make a puzzle. Just disassemble the phone for parts and try to reassemble. This activity will appeal to students and adults.
- You can try to collect telephones. For example, Nokia models ten years ago now buy for good money.
Perhaps someday the phone will make a profit.
- Listening device (bug) or webcam. Or a simple surveillance camera. By inserting enough memory into the phone, you can install it in the apartment and view the video.
- Barcode Scanner.
- Old chips make a fashionable necklace.
- Soap dish. From old mobile clamshells you get a stylish and original accessory for the bathroom.
Unusual crafts
- What to do with a used device for a child? Racing car. The display of the phone glows very interestingly. If you glue a chassis with wheels to the cover of the phone, then a good racing car with music and lighting will come out.
- You can also take out the SIM card and give the phone to the child to study. Young geniuses love bright and ringing toys from birth.
- Some craftsmen make excellent cigarette cases from used phones.
Good evening, dear friends! So the next weekend has come, which means you can relax or make something from a pile of used household appliances. I'm sitting in social network Vkontakte, I'm flipping through the page, and my thoughts are completely different, they think what can be useful to make. And then suddenly his eyes fell on a cell phone. I remembered that I had an old cell phone lying around in the bins, which works, but the model is outdated and the need for it has disappeared. Without thinking for a long time, I came up with the idea of making an alarm out of it via a GSM channel. So let's get started.
First you need to find an old cell phone, which is not a pity to disassemble and "spoil" a little. I personally had a Siemens S65 model at hand. The old, kind, reliable model was, in principle, and now it has remained :-) Your phone must have a speed dial function (well, for example, when you press key 2, then your saved subscriber under this key is called up).
I took it apart without problems, since I had a set of these screwdrivers for a long time. We will need a green keyboard board.
This is how it looks from the side where the buttons are pressed. We find key 2 (personally, you can use any of the numbers) and remove the round metal plate on it.
When the metal plate is removed, you should end up like mine. These are the contacts that closed when the number 2 key was pressed.
Now we take a soldering iron and carefully solder two wires there, one wire to the central point, and the second wire to the ring. Take a thin wire, otherwise your case will not close later. Now we collect everything in place, all parts of the phone should be where they were before disassembling the phone.
Everything, the phone is assembled, but two wires are sticking out, we clean them. Now we take an additional SIM card and install it in this phone. I want to say that if the SIM card is new, it will be even better, since no one will call this number and no extra messages will come either (in particular, any advertisements from short numbers). After that, we save your personal number under key 2, as a speed dial, and in your personal phone, the number of this SIM card that you inserted into this upgraded phone with wires, for example, under the name "Car Security". On the same phone, you can turn off the backlight of the screen, be sure to turn off the vibration, ringer. That's it, now close the two wires and wait for your phone to receive a call from the alarm of this phone. Thus, you can listen to what is happening where this upgraded phone is installed, for example, the conversation of robbers. I have a reed switch at the end of the wires (this is a glass tube, there are contacts inside it, the contacts work when a magnet is brought to it). They are in the radio store, but instead of them, you can put a regular microswitch with open contacts. Their number is not limited, you can put as many switches as you have guarded doors, for example, in a car or in a country house.
Well, I forgot to say, if the phone is very old, then let it always be on charge, so there is more guarantee that the battery has not run out. Well, that's all I wanted to tell you today. This article will improve and become more complicated, so for starters, I started with a simple one, so that even those who have never taken a soldering iron in their hands could assemble it, and even more so household appliances did not understand. Collect, try, experiment, well, share what you got out of it :-) See you soon, Dear friends! Thank you for your attention!
P.S. Here's a short video showing how it works.
