You feel special when you accidentally discover one yourself and get to show it off to your friends.

The list of hidden features in Android goes on and on, and even for us \u2014 the software nerds \u2014 we keep finding new ones every day. So it should come as no surprise that Android’s volume buttons have some tricks up their sleeve.<\/p>\n
