Previously Android version had options to add any number of home screen as desired.
Some versions of Android 9 only come with three home screens, meaning you cannot add multiple home screens manually.
But there is another way to add more than three screens:
For that download a Launcher App. These are third-party user interfaces that allow you to customize your phone in many ways. Most of them allow multiple home screens. A very popular launcher which supports multiple home screens is GoLauncher EX.
Simply go the Play Store and search for GoLauncher EX or another launcher.
If you don’t want to have to unlock your screen every time you take your device out of standby then go to Settings – Security & location.
Then select Screen lock type and select None.
When taking photos or videos, tap the screen where you want to focus on. The phone will automatically adjust the settings to improve the image or video

Follow this guide if you want to check the data and WiFi usage on your Lg W30.
In this day and age, staying connected is essential. However, whether we like it or not, most mobile data plans put a limit on our data usage each month.
Browsing through Social Media may be fine, but downloading and streaming content can easily eat up on your monthly data allocation.
Reaching your data cap means that you cannot stay online for the rest of the month. Worse, you may be allowed to go online but it also means a huge bill by month’s end.
- Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
- From there, you can set a limit or data cap for a certain time period or billing cycle (a week, month, etc).
- You may also press the Menu option and tap “Restrict Background Data Usage.” This option will help you manage your data usage, especially for apps that run in the background (such as Instagram and Messenger). However, this also means that the apps may stop working properly.
To check WiFi usage on the Lg W30, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
- From there, tap on the Menu button (3 vertical dots on the upper-right corner of the screen).
- Tap on “Show WiFi” then “Wi-Fi data usage.”
Alternatively, some Android handsets may need to follow these steps below:
- Go to Settings → WiFi & Internet → Data Usage
- Tap WiFi Data Usage to view WiFi stats.
- From this menu, you can also view data/WiFi usage per app.
The methods above generally work for most Android phone devices. Some handsets may have slight variations, you should just look for something similar Connections, Networks, or Data Usage menus.
Huawei users however have to follow a different process. Below is a short guide to check data and WiFi usage for Huawei phone users:
- Go to Optimizer → Data Usage
- From there, you can view your data usage for the month.
- You also have a Smart Data Saver feature. You may turn that on if you want to.
- You can also tap on the apps which are shown to be big data consumers and adjust their usage/consumption accordingly.
- You may also set a limit by tapping “More Data Settings” then “Monthly Data Limit.”
To silence the phone when ringing there are two methods:
Either press the Volume Down (or Up) button or if the phone is on a surface facing up, simply flip it over so it is facing down.
If you regularly visit a website you can add a shortcut to your homescreen which can be quite useful, rather than entering the web address each time you want to visit the site.
You can either do this to an existing Bookmark, or simply a page you’re visiting:
1) Open your Browser App. Enter the website you want to bookmark. You may need to wait for the whole page to load first. Then press the phone’s Menu button or More at the top and select Add to home screen.
A pop up will appear, so choose “touch & hold to place manually” or “add automatically”.
2) Then bookmark the page.
