Great cases to protect your Samsung Galaxy S10

April 20, 2019

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is one of the best flagships of the year and as such, you’re going to want to protect it. In fact, if you’ve checked out our first 10 things to do with your Galaxy S10, then you know the first thing we recommend is to protect it.

With glass on both sides, the S10 can quickly accumulate scratches and you’re one accident away from cracking one or both sides. Protect your investment and throw one of these great cases on it.

Totallee

Totallee specializes in ultrathin cases, and trust me, these cases are so thin they are barely there. Unlike most cases, you won’t notice any additional bulk or weight added. While these are perfect for the minimalist and will help prevent scratches, it won’t offer much protection against drops.

The Totallee Clear was my favorite of the three because it shows off the color of the phone and adds a little grip, while the Frosted Clear and Solid Black cases tend to feel a little slick.

X-Doria

The X-Doria Defense Shield Series offers protection with style, and we’re talking about major protection. Each case is made from a combination of anodized aluminum, hard polycarbonate, and soft rubber.

This all adds up to the Defense Shield Series being rated beyond military standards withstanding drops of up to 10 feet. The cases came in a variety of designs, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice style in favor of protection either.

One of the most unique features was how it redirects the bottom facing speaker to provide a better listening experience. My only complaints would be it is difficult to get the phone in and out of the cases and the buttons are not easy to feel or distinguish by touch alone.

Pelican

The Pelican Adventurer case is a clear case with a hard back with soft touch edges to protect your Galaxy S10. It has a lip on the front to help guard the screen and meets military grade drop standards. Something I really liked about the Adventurer case was the buttons were easy to find and press and the case provided a good grip.

The Pelican Protector case provides even more protection in black with a dual layer design. It has been tested internally for 26 drops from a four-foot height. There is a lip on the front to keep the display safe just like with the Adventurer. However, the Protector is quite slick and doesn’t offer as good of a grip. Pelican offers you the option to buy the Protector with or without a car mounting system.

It not only looks great but also makes the phone easier to hold onto, plus, it boasts drop protection for up to 16 feet.

The Crystal Palace is a rigid relatively thin case from Gear4 with anti-yellowing technology that is rated for drops up to 10 feet.

The Gear4 Oxford Folio case is perfect for all of you folio case lovers out there. It even includes two card slots on the inside in case you want to use it as a wallet case.

You’re using Google Keep wrong; Here’s how to do it right

AndroFyiCG

April 17, 2019

Other than Evernote, the other most popular note-taking application for Android devices is Google Keep. Part of this is due to the fact that the app is pre-installed on many devices, while another reason is that the app comes directly from Google.

Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the best tips & tricks to fully maximize your experience and take full advantage of Google Keep. Chances are you’ve already spent some time with the app, having at least looked around. We’re here to show you ways to get more from the app.

Color Code

Starting us off with these tips & tricks for Google Keep is the ability to color code your notes. If you’re like me and take notes that fall into different categories, color coding can make your life much easier.

The best part is that color-coding these notes is extremely simple, and organization of these notes is much simpler. In order to color code one of your notes, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Open your note
Tap the overflow button in the bottom right-hand corner
Select a color of your choice

Labels

When it comes organization, color-coding can only go so far. That’s where labels come into play. You can add and create labels by simply using #hashtags when creating each note.

Then, once you need to go back and find a specific note, you can simply search for the label name that you used, and it will appear. This is extremely helpful if you end up taking a lot of notes and need to find something from a specific category.

Set reminders

In addition to just taking notes, Google Keep also acts as a traditional to-do list. You can create checklists within notes, and you can even add reminders to said notes.

The best part about these reminders is that you can go the traditional route of choosing a date and time, but you can also opt to use location-based reminders. This will ensure that you never forget to take the trash out once you get home as Keep will remind you.

Additionally, when these reminders have been set, you will see the notification appear on any device that your Google account is logged into. This will ensure that the task gets completed and that you can knock another to-do off the list.

Here are the steps to set a reminder:

Open your note
Tap the ‘Finger with twine’ icon in the top left-hand corner
Select ‘Time’ or ‘Place’
Save
Profit!

Use Images as notes

This next feature is something that I didn’t realize was so useful until I started getting older and my memory started getting worse. If you are using Google Keep for just about everything, you can also “take notes” using pictures.

This may come in handy if you want to check out a specific product later on for price-matching purposes, or if you need to remind yourself to pick something up from the store. There are two methods in which you can use Keep to save pictures as notes/reminders.

The first of which requires you creating a new note in Keep, tapping the ‘+’ icon next to the text input, and selecting “Take Photo”. The next method comes after you’ve already taken the picture.

Once you have taken the picture that you want to add to Keep, open your Gallery, tap the ‘share’ button, and scroll until you see Keep. Then, you will be taken to Keep where you can add a title, label, or description before saving.

Collaborate

Google has really made life easy for those who work remotely and need to be able to collaborate with others that aren’t in the office. As is the case with Google Drive, you can share your notes with others, making collaboration extremely simple.

Once a note has been created, you’ll want to follow these steps to share it:

Open your note
Tap the overflow button in the bottom right-hand corner
Select ‘Collaborator’
Enter the email for the contact to share the note with

After the note has been shared, the other party will then be able to see what you are working on. This feature would also be useful for partners who want to quickly and easily share or edit grocery/shopping lists.

Audio Notes

I don’t know about you, but from time to time, I get tired of typing on my devices. This is where voice dictation comes into play.

Voice dictation has been a live-saver on multiple occasions, and it’s built right into Google Keep. As is the case with taking pictures as notes, there are actually two methods to activate dictation in Keep.

The first is found when tapping the ‘+’ icon in your note. When tapping the icon, you’ll see a section called ‘Recording’ which will allow you to quickly dictate your notes.

The second option comes from your keyboard. Yup, simply open up your note of choice (or create a new one) and tap the microphone icon. Then you’ll be able to talk until you’re blue in the face, or at least until you get the point across.

Bookmark tool

This next feature is the ability to use Google Keep as a way to keep track of your favorite bookmarks. You can think of this as another alternative to Pocket or Instapaper, and even works with your desktop browser.

Your mileage may vary depending on which browser you use on your smartphone, but the steps to save a webpage for reading later is easy. Simply open the link you want to share in your browser, tap the overflow menu button (in Chrome), select ‘Share’.

From there you’ll need to select Keep, and you will be able to add labels or add more notes to the listing.

Export to Google Docs

It comes as no surprise that Google makes all of its productivity apps able to work together and talk to each other. The same rings true for Google Keep and the Google Drive suite of services.

If you start working on a project and want to move things to a more open service like Docs, Google makes things simple. Simply open up the note of your choice, tap the three dot overflow button, and select “Send”.

Recover archived notes

The final tip that we’re going to share today is for those who want to drudge up the past. We kid, but there are times when you accidentally archive notes and you need to get them back into the list.

Here are the steps you need to take to unarchive a Google Keep note:

Go to the main screen for Keep
Tap the hamburger menu button in the top left-hand corner
Scroll down and select “Archive”
Open the note that you want to be unarchived
Tap the ‘archive’ button in the top right-hand corner
Profit!

Conclusion

Of course, these are just a few of our favorite tips & tricks for Google Keep, so we’ll be turning it to you. Let us know some of your favorite tips and how they may have helped you to become a more productive person!

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G may have 5G issues

AndroFyiCG

April 12, 2019

The new Samsung Galaxy S10 5G launched in South Korea last week, the handset is also headed to the US in May.

Now it would appear that some owners of the handset are having issues with their 5G connection on the device. The handset comes with two different antennas, one for LTE and the other for 5G.

The Galaxy S10 5G is supposed to use both connections simultaneously but some people are reporting that once a 5G connection is lost it will not reconnect to 5G and will remain on 4G LTE.

There is a workaround for this at the moment, people will have to reboot their phone to establish a new 5G connection. Of course this is not really an ideal solution.

It is not clear as yet on exactly what Samsung plans to do to solve the issue, we suspect they will probably release a software update to fix it. As soon as we get some more details on when the fix is coming, we will let you guys know.

How to Remove iCloud Activation lock

AndroFyiCG

April 11, 2019

Last update: April 2019

How to unlock iPhone / iPad that has been locked out by iCloud lock.

iOS 7 brought many new features, one of which is called iCloud Activation Lock. This function consists of a password you have to enter to activate your iPhone after deleting all the data on your smartphone or when you want to use another SIM card from another phone carrier after release. We are going to explain how to remove iCloud Activation lock iPhone / iPad without having the phone’s synced iCloud password.

This new feature has a primary mission: prevent a robber or third-party from using your iPhone. If you don’t have the owner’s iCloud password then you will never be able to use the iPhone. But, this feature has a major problem, if you buy a second hand iPhone, an iPhone that has been used by someone else, you will find that you can not activate it with another SIM if you don’t have the iCloud password for that user. Of course, all of this is solved if the seller disables the “Find My iPhone” feature by going to Settings > iCloud prior to delivery, you can then enter your own Apple account password.

How to Turn Off Find my iPhone / iPad.

Not a lot of sellers are aware that this step is necessary if they want to sell their iPhone, so let’s check out what possibilities we have and how to remove icloud activation lock from iPhone or iPad:

If you are using the iPhone with the same operator as its original owner it will stay activated. In this case, when you start using your iPhone it will work without any problem but, it is very important to know that you cannot restore or upgrade to a new iOS version through iTunes. If you do this process then your iPhone/iPad will ask for the previous owner’s iCloud password and let’s see how to remove icloud lock; if you don’t have any type of contact with the earlier owner then you probably don’t be able to get its iCloud password, locking you out of the device, meaning that you won’t be able to use it until you type in the correct user’s password till that your iPhone or iPad got stuck on activation lock screen.

How to Remove iCloud Activation lock from iPhone & iPad

If you have a iPhone or iPad with iCloud locked, here are the possible way to Remove iCloud lock on iPhone / iPad running (iOS 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11).

❒ Unlock iCloud by Asking password from previous owner

Prevention is better than iCloud unlock; To prevent all of this from happening, go to Settings > iCloud and disable “Find My iPhone”, be careful though, as it will ask you for the previous owner’s password, so you still have to keep contact with the seller to do this step.

If the iPhone is restored, disabled or unlocked to use with another phone carrier.
If you buy an iPhone that has been factory reset or you want to use it with another carrier then you’ll likely come across with this iCloud password problem. For example, you buy a second hand iPhone, you unregister it via IMEI to use it with a different phone carrier and it asks you to activate it with an iCloud password. You won’t be able to use it nor get a refund because there’s not malfunction with the device, as it is Apple the one that’s locking you out of it until you type in the correct password. Let’s take a look at how to fix this problem.

❒ What happens if you do not know the previous owner?

If you have an iPhone 4 then you can remove the iCloud password with a tool called iOS Soft Dev Pack, this is ironically only available for Windows, and it only works on iPhone 4. Just run the program, connect your iPhone and choose “iPhone 4 hacktivate Tool”.

This iCloud bypass tool uses a known exploit software to activate your iPhone 4 inorganically. Remember that this tool is only for use on your own iPhone or from an iPhone you bought legally and have this password.

For iPhone 4s and higher currently, if the original owner does not remove the password, there is nothing you can do, but if someday there is any solution then we’ll make sure to update this article.

❒ iCloud Unlock by Disabling Find my iPhone / iPad Remotely

Delete iCloud lock is very easy as long as you’ve previously met the person who has sold you the iPhone or you have its contact. If you can be with this person, it will be able to enter the password, afterwards, the iPhone will go to the home screen and all you need to do after that is go to Settings > iCloud and uncheck “Find My iPhone”, the previous owner will have to enter the password once again to uncheck this box. If you can’t meet with the person but you do have its contact, then convince the previous owner to help you disable Find my iPhone remotely. This process can be done really easily from your computer:

1. Go to www.icloud.com

2. Enter previous owner’s iCloud email and password.

3. Once you’re inside the service, select the “Search” icon, it should be a radar.

4. If you have multiple devices then you will have to select the iPhone at the top of the screen, just where it says “All devices“

5. If the device has not been deleted then you have to select the option ”Delete iPhone“. Let’s use this iPad for example: This will erase the entire contents of the device, removing the information remaining from the previous user.

6. If the device has already been deleted then you just have to select “Remove from Find My iPhone” at the bottom of the screen Clicking on this will prompt a warning as the one you see on the picture, you must click Delete to continue with this process.

7. Once the device has been removed from your iCloud account, it will no longer request the password and you can normally activate it, problem solved. This process should be same for ipad icloud unlock.

Conclusion

As you can see, the ideal solution is knowing the person that’s selling you the device, ask first that you disable its iCloud password from the device or from your computer using the iCloud website. It is also advisable to ask the seller to check the IMEI.

This guide is applicable for all iOS devices (iphone 4s, 5s, 6s, 7 plus, 8, iPhone 8 plus, iPhone X, iPhone Xs and all iPads. Now that you know all of this, you can safely buy a second-hand iPhone safely as long as the owner has previously disabled the iCloud password. It doesn’t matter if the person lives in a different country. Problems arise if you don’t know the seller and aren’t able to get in touch with it. If this is the case, then you’re sort of screwed. What do you think about this process? Do you think it should be a little easier to unlock an iCloud protected device? Leave your comments below and don’t forget to share this post with your friends!

How to Split a Large file into Small files

AndroFyiCG

April 8, 2019

Sometimes the files you want to send are too large to be sent by mail, WhatsApp or any other means you choose to send your file with. One solution for this is to split the file and divide it into several parts, which you can send separately. That is, instead of sending a file of 100 MB at once, you are going to send ten files each of 10 MB, thereby allowing you to send it easily and faster.

Although the technique on how to split and join large file on PC was more famous a few years ago when Internet connections were slower, today it is still very useful because applications and websites still have a maximum file limit. For example, in WhatsApp it is 100 MB and other applications do have their limit too, knowing How to split large file into parts is what everyone should know about. In this article we will explain How to Split & Combine a Large file with 7-ZIP & WinRar, the popular free file compressor software.

How to Split & Join large file on PC

Method #1 (Split Large file into Parts using 7-Zip)

1. INSTALL 7-ZIP

The first thing you will need is, obviously, 7-Zip. To download it, visit their Official website and click on “Download” button, in the 32 bit or 64 bit version, depending on whether your Windows is 32 or 64 bits . 7-Zip also has versions for Linux, although the way to split big files there will be through command line. 7-Zip does not have a Mac version, as an alternative program available for mac called Keka. Mac users can use Keka software to do this job.

The installation of 7-ZIP is the simplest you will ever find. As soon as you have steps, there is no trap in between and it ends in a couple of seconds. Simply press Install and wait for it to finish, after installing it, you are just two steps away to split huge files after the installation of 7-ZIP

2. Adjust the Compression Settings

After installing 7-ZIP you do not need to open it. Instead, locate the file you want to split into several parts and “Right-click” with mouse button on it. In the context menu, choose first “7-Zip” (1) and then “Add to archive” (2).

7-ZIP uses its own format, .7z, by default, for the files it generates. However, it is better to use a more universal format such as ZIP, so that anyone can unite and decompress the parts easily. To do this, click on 7z, next to Archive format, and choose “ZIP” from the drop-down list.
In the lower part of the window you have another configuration to change. In Split to volumes, bytes you must choose the maximum size of the parts in which it will be split. For example, if you want to split it into 10MB parts, choose 10M. For parts of 100 MB, 100M, and so on.

If you need another amount other than those available, you can enter it manually. 7-ZIP recognizes the letters b, k, m & gb as kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes respectively. For example, to create 50 megabyte parts, write “50m”.

3. Divide your file into Parts.

Having a file to split into parts can be done easily now. In this step we’ll see how to split a file into multiple files.

If everything is in order, press “OK” button. You will then see a window like the previous one, which shows the detail of the compression and file partition, as well as a lot of information about the process that you do not need to read.

Split large file into multiple smaller files

When finished, you will have a lot of files, so by following the above instructions you have been able to split a file into multiple files which will occupy at most the number you specified. The latter probably occupies less. The first of them will have the extension .ZIP.001, .ZIP.002 and that number will be increased in each part.

By opening the first file in any of the archiver software like Winzip, winrar, 7-Zip or other, you will be able to recover the original large file.

METHOD #2 (Split Large file on Windows)

❒ Split Large file into parts using WinRAR in Windows

It is very common to encounter large file size problems of this type when the video files or ISO images exceed the maximum storage capacity of a recordable CD or DVD. The solution in these cases is to divide the files into several smaller parts that allow them to be easily stored.

Using WinRAR as File Splitter and Recombine tool: Let’s see another method you can use to split or merge files in RAR parts using the WinRAR application from Windows 10, 8, 7.

Step: 1 The first thing you will do when you want to use WinRAR as file splitter and joiner is to download the WinRAR program from the following link:

DOWNLOAD WinRAR

Step: 2 Now go to the directory on your PC, where you have located the file to be divided and “RIGHT-CLICK” your mouse button and “Add to archive…”.

Split large size file on windows — Split large files on windows

Step: 3 Now you will see a Window where you will choose the option “Split to volumes“. Next, WinRAR will show us some predefined file division profiles.

For example, the DVD + R profile will split huge files into parts with a maximum size of 4,481 MB, this will allow us to record the individual DVD disc parts. The CD700 profile will create 700MB maximum parts. You can also choose smaller sizes such as 5 or 100 MB, which will make it easier for us to share our files in most cloud storage services.

NOTE: If the profiles do not meet our needs it is possible to type the maximum MB or KB number for each part of the file that is created.

Step: 4 After choosing the maximum size of the parts in which the file will be divided and Click “OK” to start.

Step: 5 The creation process of the RAR file will start in several parts since WinRAR will have created several files with the original name and the extension “partX” where “X” will be the number that corresponds to that part.

If you want to re-join the parts in a single file, do the following.

Step: 1 Locate the files that already in split format with the extension “.part1″ or “.zip.001”. It is important to extract the “First file” with the archive extension to get the large file back in order like which the file was divided.

Step: 2 Once you have found the file Select it and “Right-click” with the mouse, and then click on “Extract to … \”

Step: 3 WinRAR will start the joining process by joining each of the parts until there is only one file left. If WinRAR cannot locate the path where the files with the remaining parts of the file are located, it will request that we indicate the path where the files with the extension “.part2, .part3” are located and so on.

In this way WinRAR will have merged your files and restore to its original size the file or files that has been divided into parts.

I attempted to fool the new Samsung Galaxy S10’s ultrasonic fingerprint scanner by using 3d printing. I succeeded.

It took me 3 reprints trying to get the right ridge height (and I forgot to mirror the fingerprint on the first one) but yeah, 3rd time was the charm. The 3D print will unlock my phone…in some cases just as well as my actual finger does.

We have seen 3D printers used before to fool the security on various devices so it not really a surprise that this can be done with the new Galaxy S10.

Method: 2

Exchanges and collectibles

Are you the one who wondering how to hack roblox? Then this is the method you can use to get free robux and what you need for this method:

- Buy Robux and spend them on collectibles and limited items.

It requires Builders Club.
It requires a minimum of 200 Robux.

Limited products include hats, faces, hairstyles, weapons, anything you use to decorate your Roblox character.

How it works?

Now, I will give you an example. The image above shows a limited article. The branches known as Sinister (these types are the very ugly tree trunk horns, that in my opinion doesn’t deserve to be a limited item, however, there are people who like it). Initially, Sinister Branches cost 125 Robux. Currently, Sinister Branches have a value of 1,500 Robux.

And for example, if you sell in the store of Roblox you can make bank, even if you’re only earning a percentage of the item’s total price. If you invest 125 Robux, you can be assured that your profit will be doubled.

The most expensive and valuable items such as Dominus are worth millions of Robux .
They are very valuable items and that few people possess. Although some items are worth thousands of millions of Robux, it is because they simply do not want their own salespeople to sell them.

They can start with inexpensive items, everything depends on the weather, for example, I have 5 items from Bombastic Neon Animal Hoodie. I Bought 2 for 100 Robux ones and the other 3 to 300 Robux approximately.

These hats are now worth 1300 Robux. I’ll wait two more years to increase their value. Another thing you can do is exchange items. To do this you’ll need to have Builders Club. You have to be clever to exchange, you can’t afford to get yourself in a bad deal, get yourself some good deals that can increase their worth in the future. To know the value of a limited article there are multiple pages where we inform the RAP a limited article. As you see strategy that matter in robux hack 2017.

You can check Roblox Exchange forums to get exchanging partners. If the exchange is fair and if you can make a profit in the future.

Method: 3

Have your own game

Requirements: roblox hack

You only need Builders Club (You don’t need Robux).
You need to be creative.
Have some sort of programming knowledge. (I don’t have any )

Big games like Prison Life, Lumber Tycoon, Pokemon Brick Bronze, Vampire Hunters 2 for example…

The creators of these games, earn large amounts of Robux for their successful games. How do they do it? They sell, for example, VIP upgrades for your character or anything else you sell for Robux.

So, if you know programming basics and have some sort of ludic knowledge, alongside an idea for a fun game, then go ahead and create one! Just keep in mind that to publish your own game you need to be in the Builders Club.

This blog was sponsored by Cubetas Helmets, “Cubetas rusty as hats” $ 2400.

Method: 4

Roblox Robux Hack Tool

Let’s see a last method to get free Robux, using a roblox robux generator. But, I don’t recommend this method, so try this with your own luck. Some of the tools are promise you to give free robux no survey, What the truth is they won’t keep the promise, you will be locked into surveys or human verfication.

The last method of this post is using the roblox hack app. You can use this app to generate hundreds and even thousands of Robux, this is a more secure method than the ones we talked about at the start of our post.

Thanks to this app, several friends of mine have generated hundreds of Robux to buy all the items they want without spending a penny.

Use this free app to generate Robux you want in your Roblox account.

I would like to talk about robux generator and other third-party tools before end this post, There are none of the working roblox generator or a robux hack tool exist in the world so don’t waste your valuable time on trying them. Please feel free to leave your comments in the box below if you have a problem with any of the methods to get free robux listed above and share this post with all your Roblox friends so that they can also start making bank on the game!

Nine tips and tricks for the Samsung Galaxy S10

AndroFyiCG

April 3, 2019

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a phone with an abundance of features. The deeper you dig the more you find lurking in the menus. We’ve already shown you the first 10 things you should do after getting your new S10. Now, let’s dive in and take a look at a few more tips and tricks.

Wireless Powershare

The Samsung Galaxy S10 has added a new charging feature this year. It doesn’t actually help your phone charge, but instead helps charge other devices. With Wireless Powershare enabled your phone becomes the charger, which can be helpful for charging accessories such as the Galaxy Watch or new Galaxy Buds.

It can also charge other phones that feature wireless charging, but due to the slow charging speed, it works best for smaller accessories. It won’t stay active when it is not in use and times out rather quickly. Make sure you have the device you’re looking to charge within reach and ready.

Swipe down twice to find the Wireless Powershare quick toggle
Tap on the Wireless Powershare toggle

App Pairing

The addition of native multitasking in Android is a wonderful thing. Having the ability to have two apps opened at once can save you a lot of time and frustration. It is even better on a phone with a display as large as the Galaxy S10.

You might wonder, what could make it even better? How about a way to launch two apps you use often in split-screen mode with a handy shortcut. The Galaxy S10 gives you this very option from the Edge Panel.

Swipe open the Edge Panel
Tap Edit
Create App pair

Enable Navigation Gestures

If you’re looking for a new way to get around your phone you might want to give gestures a try. Samsung’s approach is a little different from most others out there, as every phone maker seems to have its own style. Thankfully, Samsung’s gestures are pretty easy to learn. All you have to do is swipe up over where the button used to appear. Follow the steps below to enable them on your phone.

Open Settings
Display
Navigation bar
Full screen gestures

Customize the Always-On Display

The Always-On Display is a convenient feature that allows you to get a quick look at the time and your notifications without even pressing a button. Not only is it convenient, but did you know you can customize it? Within the Samsung Themes store, there are tons of themes for the AOD. Some are free but many require a nominal fee.

Open Settings

AODs

Even if you want to stick with one of the default themes you can customize the color to make it your own.

Open Settings

Customize Edge Lighting

Edge lighting is another one of those eye-candy features that the Galaxy S10 offers. Usually, you only see the edges light up when receiving a call or text. However, if you dig into the settings a bit you can enable it for any app you choose. You can also select what color to use, the width, and whether it should show with the screen on, off, or both. If you don’t like it, you could even toggle it off.

Open Settings
Display
Edge screen

Add More Edge Panels

Speaking of the edge features on the S10, there are a whole plethora of edge panels you can add. They range from panels for weather, a calculator, news, sports feeds, and more. Just follow these steps and soon you’ll open up a whole new world of what the Edge Panel is capable of.

Swipe open the edge panel
Tap the settings cog in the bottom left
Tap the 3 dot menu in the top right corner
Tap Galaxy Store

Secure Folder

These days our phones have taken on the role of our most used devices. As such, we often keep a great deal of sensitive information on them. With Secure Folder, you can keep prying eyes away from some of your most private information. It allows you to protect pictures, notes, and apps on your phone. Requiring a PIN, password, pattern, or a form of biometric security in order to access them.

Open Settings
Biometrics and security
Secure Folder

Split Screen

If you enjoy using split screen on your previous phones, you might have found the shortcut doesn’t work on the Galaxy S10. Now if you’re looking to use two apps in split screen view you’ll have to trigger this from the overview menu.

All you have to do is tap the big app icon at the top of the preview and if it supports split screen you can choose it from there. As a bonus, you can also access multi window from this same menu. This is especially helpful if you’re using gestures over the navigation keys.

Pop-up View

Pop-up view is similar to the chat heads you might have seen from Facebook Messenger. Once enabled any app that has multi window support will be able to pop up a little icon on your screen when a new notification comes. Tapping on that icon will open up a mini window for that app.

What makes this even more convenient to use is the ability to relocate the pop up lower on the screen. Afterward, all additional pop ups will appear there making it easier to reach.

How to change the theme on Samsung’s One UI

AndroFyiCG

April 1, 2019

Samsung has recently unveiled its latest rendition of software for the Galaxy lines. Much like it’s hardware, the OS is an iteration of the company’s vision of Android. One UI is a much cleaner experience than previous versions of Samsung’s offerings.

One thing that has remained in One UI is Samsung really wants you to customize your phone’s interface. Theming is offered by default at the OS level on the latest Galaxy phones and we are here to show you how to set up a new theme to alter the feel of your device.

What’s it do?

Changing the theme will change your default colors and sometimes icons of things like the wallpaper, settings page, and notification panel. This allows users to really customize their phones how they see fit. From dark themes to flowers, Samsung has a vast store of themes available.

How to get there.

Now, let’s make it happen! Unlock your phone and follow along.

Open the Settings app
Find and select Wallpapers and themes
This will take you to the Samsung Store
Tap the Themes tab at the bottom of the screen
Find a new theme that suits your personality
Download and Apply
Confirm you want to apply the theme one more time

Theme all the things!

As you can see from the last two screenshots above, you now have a brand new theme applied. The dark theme has taken over my Settings menus and the notification shade. Icons have adapted to the new theme as well with new light blue colors.

Most Android OEMs tend to shy away from themes. They leave that kind of stuff up to independent developers and custom launchers. I think it’s a big step for the leading manufacturer of Android phones to embrace theming and offer this kind of customization on the Galaxy lineup. Enjoy your new themes!

What is Microsoft Your Phone and how do you use it?

AndroFyiCG

March 29, 2019

With the death of Windows Phone behind it, Microsoft has put an added focus on integrating Android and iPhones with Windows. The Your Phone app is one of the best examples of this integration. Unfortunately, Your Phone does not fully mirror your Android phone on your computer — if that’s what you were hoping for.

Your Phone is, for all intents and purposes, a way to sync photos and text messages from your phone with your Windows computer. For many of us who bounce back and forth between computer and phone this is a very exciting prospect.

However, it comes with some major limitations, such as only providing access to the last 25 photos and 15 messages on your phone. Most likely being limited to your last 15 conversations won’t be much of a hindrance, but only having the last 25 photos accessible is a big drawback. It is also not possible to connect to multiple PCs simultaneously.

How to set up Your Phone

In order to set up Your Phone it requires a Windows PC running Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803) or later. You must also have an Android phone running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later.

Next, you’ll need to download the Your Phone app to both your Windows PC and your Android phone. If you download the app to your computer first, it will provide you with an option to text a link to the app on your phone. You can also use the links I’ve provided below to each respective app.

Your Phone PC Your Phone Android

Once both of these apps are installed you will be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account on your phone that is associated with your PC. Then, you’ll have to give access to the app permissions. After that, you’ll be asked to give permission to ignore battery optimizations. You should now be synced with the Your Phone app on your PC and ready to go.

Both Your Phone apps are extremely simple and mostly devoid of options. The Android app does try its best to advertise other Microsoft owned apps though.

How well does it work?

If all you want to do is view the last 25 photos or screenshots on your phone, reply to SMS messages, or compose text messages it works rather well. Syncing is fairly fast with both photos and SMS messages.

When composing a new text message, it allows you to search the contacts stored on your phone. However, it does not provide contact photos or identify which number is the person’s cellphone number.

That can be a little confusing if you’re trying to text someone with multiple numbers and you never memorized which is their cellphone. Another downside is the lack of picture messaging. You will not be able to send or receive pictures or gifs with the Your Phone app.

Viewing and editing photos is quick and easy. Photos will open in the Photos app on your Windows computer with options to share, print, or edit. The option to delete is grayed out ensuring you will never accidentally trash any photos on your phone.

Editing works just as it would with any other photo stored on your PC, but it will require you to save a copy to your computer after editing and does not sync a copy to your phone.

Final Thoughts

If you do a lot of texting during the day, this is a real time saver as you do not have to swap back and forth between computer and phone. If you’re also looking for quick wireless access to your most recent photos the Your Phone app is also very useful.

However, if you’re like me and wanted full mirroring, access to all of your messengers, and the ability to access all of your photos, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

March 28, 2019

Mozilla has announced the launch of its new Firefox Lockbox for Android, the app is designed to keep all of your passwords in one place.

This new app with work with your Firefox account and give you access to the passwords that you have already saved in Firefox.

Like Firefox Send, a free encrypted file transfer service which keeps people’s personal information private unveiled earlier this month, Firefox Lockbox is based on another successful Test Pilot experiment. Since its iOS launch, Firefox Lockbox has had more than 50K downloads, and was most recently optimized for iPad. As we continue to evolve our ecosystem of privacy-first solutions, Firefox Lockbox for Android was the next step in our efforts to give people the advantage when it comes to keeping them safe online with trusted tools and services from Firefox.

Unlike a traditional password manager, Firefox Lockbox is a simple app that gives easy access to the passwords you have already stored in your Firefox browser. No extra set-up necessary. This makes Firefox Lockbox the perfect solution for people who want to secure their personal information, but may not have time (or the recall) to choose and transfer all of their passwords into a password manager.

You can find out more information about the new Firefox Lockbox for Android over at Mozilla at the link below.

March 28, 2019

Samsung recently announced its first folding smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Fold and now the company has released a video showing how the folding display on the device is tested.

The video below gives us a look at the machine that Samsung uses to test out the folding smartphone.

Naturally, given the smartphone’s design, a Folding Test was a pivotal part of the Galaxy Fold’s durability assessment. This test, which examines whether the Galaxy Fold can outlast 200,000 folds and unfolds (or around five years of use, if used 100 times a day), takes a full week to complete. While the extent of the test may seem like overkill to some, Samsung viewed it as vital to ensuring the durability of device’s hinged design and Infinity Flex Display.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold will go on sale next month, the handset will retail for around €2,000 in Europe.

How to Merge Videos With VideoProc

AndroFyiCG

March 28, 2019

Video editing is slowly becoming more and more necessary in your average domestic PC environment. Everyone records video with their smartphones from time to time – we could have the desire to merge our videos into only one, in order to save space or create something better. To do this, we just need a video merger and some free time. Today we’re going to talk about one of the best applications for this job, VideoProc, available for Windows and Mac.

VideoProc – A Complete Video Processing Tool

VideoProc is a software specialized on video editing and conversion. Created by Digiarty, this program is one of the best to reduce file size and merge various videos into one. It is especially effective at reducing the size of HD and 4K videos with minimal quality loss. It can also change the video format into one easily readable for your PC or smartphone, so you won’t have any compatibility issues after using this application.

VideoProc offers a lot of different things and it has various advantages over several programs of its kind. It has all the basic features: it allows the user to cut, trim, merge, rotate and change the format of the selected videos. VideoProc specializes on 4K video, and it can transcode your videos to upload them on social media sites like YouTube or Facebook. Everything that this program does, it does it very quickly – you can rip a DVD with this program in only 5 minutes.

If you want more info about how does VideoProc handle video processing, you can watch the following video and see it for yourself.

How to Merge Videos with VideoProc

[embedded content]

Digiarty offers more info in their site. They even have a tutorial about how to merge videos with VideoProc.

But of course, that doesn’t mean we didn’t try the software ourselves! Here’s what you need to do if you want to merge a video or a series of videos using VideoProc.

1.) Enter the main site, download, and install the program.

2.) After installation, open VideoProc. Click on the Video icon, then select “+ Video” to choose the videos that will be merged into one.

3.) You’ll have to choose the output format next. The program will take a little more time merging your videos if the selected format is different from the original format. Be aware, however, that you should select the best format for your needs (If you want to upload a video to Facebook, you won’t choose the heaviest format).

4.) Click on the “Merge” button to enable the option.

5.) Click on the “Run” button on the bottom right corner of the screen to start the video merger.

The process was very easy to follow for us, and it was extremely fast too. One of the main advantages of this program is its speed – it is one of the fastest video converters we’ve ever used. But it’s time for you to see it for yourself! Download VideoProc and test all of its amazing features. You can tell us about it later in the comment section!

How to remove pre-installed apps and bloatware from Android without root

AndroFyiCG

March 28, 2019

Most Android smartphone manufacturers load their smartphones with some of their exclusive apps while releasing them and many of this pre-installed Android apps are often locked by the device manufacturer to prevent the users from uninstalling them from their device.

While some pre-installed apps like file managers or Gallery apps are actually useful, not everyone wants a random app on their phone which they never use and just sitting there and running in the background potentially slowing down the performance of their phone or even reducing its battery life.

Even the smartphones from Google which are released with the stock version of Android which is essentially the purest version of Android comes with bloatware or unnecessary apps like Google Play Movies or Google Play Books which most users may not use.

So, if you are looking for a way to permanently uninstall or remove pre-installed apps and bloatware from your Android device in an attempt to increase its performance or battery life, here are a few ways to remove pre-installed apps and bloatware from Android.

Disable apps

While this method is the easiest one in the list and it does not require root access, it essentially just disables the app you want instead of uninstalling it and completely removing it from your phone.

This means that the app won’t run in the background or won’t be present in the list of installed apps on your device or appear on the Play Store updates list. However, it will still be present on your device and you can revert the action and enable the app to use it, in case you change your mind in the future.

To disable a pre-installed app or bloatware on your Android phone, first, open the settings app on your device and then click on the Apps option from the menu.

Now, click on the app which you want to remove from your phone from the list of installed apps on your device. Proceed with caution as disabling or removing any essential system app from your device might cause any issues with the normal functioning of your Android phone.

Once you are in the app page of the app you want to remove from your phone, just click on the disable option and allow the app to remove all associated data from your device and rollback to the version it was when you first got your phone.

The app is now disabled from your phone, which basically means that it can no longer be used and will not run in the background. However, it is still stored on your device’s memory and you can enable it and start using it whenever you want to by updating it to the latest available version.

Alternatively, you can also long press an app and select the disable option to disable or remove app directly from your home screen or app drawer. However, this method is not recommended as some apps may not have a disable option in the long press menu.

ADB

If you want to completely uninstall an app from your Android phone instead of just disabling it, then follow the below steps.

Note: This method does not require root access, however, you need access to a laptop or a PC to follow this method.

Make sure you have the relevant USB drivers for your Android device installed on your PC or laptop. If not, you can head over to your device manufacturers website and download and install the latest official drivers on your device. After you’ve acquired your drivers, download the official ADB tools from here and then extract them to an easily accessible location on your PC.

Open the settings app and navigate to the developer options on your device.

If you haven’t enabled the developer options already, head over to the software information section under the About phone option on your settings app. Now tap on the build number details seven times until you get the option to unlock the developer options.

You can now access the developer options at the end of your settings app. From there, navigate to the USB debugging option and then enable it.

Now connect your Android device to your PC using your USB cable and make sure that the file transfer mode is selected.

Open the folder where you had extracted the ADB tools file and then open a command prompt or a Windows PowerShell window at that location by holding the shift key and then right clicking on an empty space and selecting the ‘Open the PowerShell window here’ option.

Make sure your Android device is connected to your PC via USB and then type the command ‘adb devices’ on the command prompt. Now you will get a popup on your Android device asking you to Allow USB debugging on your PC. Just click on OK to proceed.

Download and install the App inspector app on your Android device. Open the app and then select the pre-installed app or the bloatware you want to uninstall from the list of installed apps on your device and then note down the package name of the app.

Type the below commands one by one on the command prompt window.

adb devices

adb shell

pm uninstall –k —user 0 “name of the package”

For example to uninstall the Microsoft Word app from your Android device just type

pm uninstall –k —user 0 com.microsoft.office.word

Note: Be careful not to uninstall any essential apps as it might affect the functionality of your device. If you are not sure what an app does, it is better not to uninstall the app.

Once you have followed the steps in the above method, the app you have selected will be uninstalled and removed from your Android device. While it will not be available for use on your device you can always install the app from the Google Play Store or by installing an APK on your device if you change your mind. The app will also be restored if you ever perform a factory reset on your device.

First ten things to do with your Samsung Galaxy S10

AndroFyiCG

March 25, 2019

The day has finally arrived and you just unboxed your shiny new Samsung Galaxy S10. Now, you’re holding one of the best phones of 2019 in your hands and wondering, what to do next? Considering how jam-packed the S10 is with features you might feel a little overwhelmed. Don’t worry, if you’re wondering where to start and what to do first we’ve got you covered.

Protect it

First and foremost, you’re going to want to protect it. The Galaxy S10 is an expensive device but with a glass front and back it is also a fragile device. While Gorilla Glass has come a long way it is still glass, and glass scratches or even worse it cracks.

To make sure your investment doesn’t get shattered, wrap it up. Here are a few choices below for cases and screen protectors. Remember, not every screen protector works with the new in-display fingerprint scanner but all of the below choices will work.

Cases

Screen Protectors

More Storage

Samsung raised the bar with the Galaxy S10 by including 128GB storage minimum and offering a 512GB model, but you can always use more space. Fortunately, there is a microSD card slot in the SIM tray. Below are a few good choices for adding some more storage to your phone for photos, videos, music, and more.

Set up Samsung Pay

One of my favorite features on Samsung phones is paying with Samsung Pay. By combining NFC and MST payments it works at nearly every pay terminal available. Paying with your phone has never been more simple or convenient. Just follow the steps below to get started.

Open Samsung Pay
Click Get Started
Use biometrics verification (iris or fingerprint)
Create a Samsung Pay 4-digit PIN
Add a card or Paypal to your Wallet

Blue Light Filter

Studies have shown that the blue light emitted from devices is not only bad for our sleep but bad for our eyesight. The blue light filter is one of the ways Samsung and some others have found to combat this. To enable it on your S10 follow these steps:

Open settings
Display
Tap Blue light filter
Now toggle from Sunset to sunrise or create your own schedule

Now, you can protect your eyes at night and sleep easier. You can also toggle it from the quick tiles any time you like by swiping down twice on the notification tray.

Swap the Navigation Buttons

If you’re a long time Samsung user you may have gotten used to having the back button on the right and overview button on the left. If you’re coming from most other phones, then this is probably something that has always frustrated you about Samsung phones. Thankfully, when Samsung made the switch to software navigation keys they provided us with the option to change it to match stock Android.

Open settings

One-Handed Mode

There’s no getting around it, the S10 is a big phone. Working it with one hand can be a challenge for some of us. That’s where One-handed mode comes into play. With this nifty little feature, you can shrink down the screen with a shortcut making it much easier to reach items.

From here, you can toggle it on or off, and change which shortcut is used to launch it.

Turn on Night mode

With the update to Android Pie, Samsung included a new feature on its phones called Night mode. When enabled Night mode gives a dark theme to your notification panel, settings, and notifications. The dark theme is much easier on the eyes and thankfully doesn’t have to only be used at night. Follow these steps to try it out for yourself.

Customize the Bixby key

If you’re like me you never use the Bixby key because it only does one thing, open Bixby. However, that has changed as Samsung recently added a native setting to allow you to open other apps or run Bixby routines using the button. With the new setting, you’ll be able to assign two different shortcuts, one for single press and one for double press. However, one of these must be reserved for Bixby itself, but at least we can take back control of one of the shortcuts.

Turn on Atmos

Audio quality from Samsung phones continues to improve and software plays a big part in that. One of my favorite enhancements on several phones these days is Dolby Atmos technology. In my opinion, it really brings the sound to life and I always enable it on any phone includes it.

You can also experiment with changing which mode to use and the equalizer while you’re in there. Sound is a very personal thing and thankfully we have the option to personalize it.

Themes

Not everyone is a fan of the whitewashed theme on Android, including myself. Fortunately, you aren’t stuck with that. Samsung provides an entire theme market with many free themes. Make your phone your own by spending some time browsing and finding something to match your style.
