1. Activate Find My device

2- Activating the developers option
The developers option gives you many options that may benefit you greatly and make your use of your phone smooth, fast and professional. Of course, the option does not come by default.

Google Assistant or Google Assistant is one of the services that make your use of your phone much easier. You can do many long tasks just by your voice, just by saying "Hi Google" or "Google OK," and then say what you want in English, for example Navigate to home to give you a map of your home, or take a selfie to go directly to the camera application and the front camera to capture Sylvie, and many more tasks you can do more easily and faster with Google Assistant, to activate the service all you have to do is access to the Google application and pressing the three points In the side, then Settings, then Voice, and finally Voice Match, so you can activate the voice plugin for Google.



4. Disable Bloatware applications
If you do not know what Bloatware applications are, which are installed by default on the device that comes with it without you, there are many of these applications that do not play any role other than filling the phone storage, especially if you use a phone from Samsung, Huawei, Obo ... Each of these companies have interfaces that you add to the Android system, which contains many useless applications, so the best thing you can do is disable it as if you were deleting any normal application by going to the settings and selecting the applications you need and not using them and simply disabling them.

These were some of the things that are very important to do when you buy a new phone, or even if you already have a phone and have not yet activated these options

Android: a security vulnerability allows to spy on you since 2013

Android is the victim of a serious security breach. With this breach, an attacker can easily install malware on your smartphone to collect your personal data, including your browsing history. All versions of Android, from Kit Kat (released in 2013), are affected.

    
 "A flaw allows attackers to access sensitive information from all Android devices, including web browser history, messages and banking application data," said Sergey Toshin, cybersecurity researcher at Positive Technologies. Only users of a web browser that uses the Chromium rendering engine, such as Chrome or Samsung Internet, are affected.
 

A serious security vulnerability has been identified on Android: Google deploys a patch

According to the researcher, the flaw is in the WebView component, which is preinstalled on your smartphone. It is basically used for displaying web pages in Android apps. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can easily hide malware or malicious applications in your device. "The WebView component is used in most Android applications, making these attacks extremely dangerous," says the expert.

 Once this is done, the hacker will be able to siphon "information from WebView from other applications", which includes the history of your web browser or your login credentials online, Facebook or Twitter for example. According to Sergey Toshin, there is no evidence that the flaw was used by a pirate to launch an attack.

Fortunately, Google has fixed the flaw with the release of Chrome 72 last January. "Since Android 7.0, WebView is implemented via Google Chrome and, therefore, updating the browser is enough to correct the problem," says the researcher. We invite you to update your browser without further hearing. For users of an earlier version of Android Nougat, update WebView without delay by going to the Google Play Store.

Galaxy Note 10: 50W ultra fast charging to crush the competition?

The Galaxy Note 10 could become the benchmark for fast charging and battery life in the smartphone market. The device would have a recharge of 50W equivalent to the best of the moment and the Pro model would be entitled to a battery of 4500 mAh. Towards the big return of Samsung on this niche for the high end?

 

 

 

We reported yesterday that the fast charging Galaxy Note 10 would certainly move to a whole new level. Information from the now famous Ice Universe leaker, known for its leaks on future Samsung smartphones. "Battery capacity and fast charging will no longer be Samsung's weaknesses," he says, refusing to say more for the moment.

Galaxy Note 10: finally a true high-end champion of autonomy?

This is not deprived on its side Forbes, which ensures that the Note 10 will benefit from a fast recharge 50W. If the information proves, it would be a real slap to the competition, including Apple, which is also a big black spot on its iPhone. Currently, the Oppo SuperVOOC can already reach 50W. But this technology is ultimately very little used here because the brand has not yet really imposed outside China. Then we have the OnePlus Dash Charge 30W or the Huawei SuperCharge 40W (which promises 55W and a recharge of 0 to 85% in 30 minutes on his upcoming Mate X foldable smartphone, but we're on a segment and a range of different prices).

As it is fashionable at this time (even OnePlus is put in), Samsung will offer several models of the smartphone. We are talking about four devices, with two compatible 5G variants. The Galaxy Note 10 Pro 4G would be equipped with a 4500 mAh battery. Note 10 Pro 5G could even have a more consistent. And if the rating range of the South Korean manufacturer became a real reference of autonomy?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Galaxy Fold: Does Samsung really cancel pre-orders?

Has Samsung really decided to cancel the pre-orders of its Galaxy Fold? In the United States, the South Korean manufacturer has in any case made the decision to automatically cancel past pre-orders unless against indication of buyers. What about France and the rest of the world? We take stock.



In the course of April 2019, Samsung announced to postpone the release of its Galaxy Fold, the device that was to be the first folding smartphone on the market. A decision taken following the interrogations and criticisms raised by product testers, particularly across the Atlantic, who were not convinced by its strength.

Galaxy Fold: Samsung allows US customers to cancel their pre-order

The South Korean manufacturer has sent an email to its American customers to let them know that it continues to work hard to improve the Galaxy Fold, reports Droid Life. The brand claims to be making progress, but is still unable to communicate a date of availability accurately. For the moment, we still do not know when the foldable smartphone will be marketed.


Faced with this lack of information and this blur on the situation, Samsung allows US consumers to cancel their pre-order unconditionally. Those placing an order are invited to contact Samsung to confirm their purchase and their willingness to purchase the smartphone. Without a response from them by May 31, 2019, the manufacturer will automatically cancel the pre-order. Samsung USA manages the file rather well. By doing so with transparency and honesty and ensuring a flawless product, the subsidiary should be able to avoid the wrath of consumers.

Galaxy Note 10: here is what it could look like

The Galaxy Note 10 will not be a mere copy of the Galaxy S10, tease a famous leaker. Despite inevitable commonalities, like the Infinity-O screen, the smartphone should offer a rather different design. This is a much more curved slab and a selfie photo sensor housed in the center. We take stock together.



"Whether you like the curved screen or not, it has remained the flagship feature of the range. Especially in the second half, you'll see a beautiful curved design, even more advanced than Note 7, and many brands will follow the trend, "says Ice Universe, Samsung's specialist leaker, on his Twitter account.

Galaxy Note 10: new preview of the design of the smartphone?

According to him, Samsung would have decided to return to a much more curved screen after several models whose curve was more timid, as the Note 9 for example. Note 10 should announce a homecoming, inspired by the Galaxy Note Edge released in 2015.

That's not all. In a previous tweet, Ice Universe also assured that the Galaxy Note 10 will not be equipped with a dual front photo sensor, as is the case for the Galaxy S10 +. It is rather surprising. The leaker has in any case specified that Note 10 "has only one hole", which leaves no room for 2 sensors.

Later, he also announced that "Da Vinci is more symmetrical". To understand where it is coming from, it will be recalled that the code name of Note 10 internally is Da Vinci. We can therefore expect the hole in the Infinity-O screen to be relegated to the center.

Based on statements by Ice Universe, our colleagues at Phone Arena have developed two new 3D renderings of the Galaxy Note 10. There are more curved edges, a central selfie camera and a borderless screen. Samsung is expected to announce Note 10 and the alleged Note 10 Pro sometime in August 2019. What do you think of this design?

The explosion of the S10 Galaxy phone in the pocket of a user and Samsung bear the responsibility of the accident

Although the South Korean press says that Chinese smart phones are not ready to offer 5G technology, a new report revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S10 has been burned for no reason, leaving evidence that South Korean companies may also fail with their products based on the 5G market.



After six days of use, a user of the S10 Galaxy in South Korea reported that his smartphone had started to smoke suddenly and without reason while he was on his desk. Apparently, the user's first reaction was to take the phone and throw it to the ground, almost completely burned. Now, Samsung said the strong impact on the ground caused the Galaxy S10 to ignite, blaming the user for the incident.

According to the local press, the user called Samsung and took his Galaxy S10 phone to an authorized claim center. After two weeks of waiting, Samsung responded to the customer that it could not compensate for the stolen cell phone because there was evidence of external damage and not an internal component that might have been caused by the fire. In a statement, the company said:

"We got the phone and we completed the external scan and X-ray examination, but the external printouts are clear, we can not find faults in the phone.

It is important to remember that the Samsung Galaxy S10 has the largest battery for the company's leading smartphones, with 4500 mAh. Smartphone marketing in South Korea began earlier this month at $ 1,500.


This is the first explosion of this mobile phone, but it seems to be more isolated than a failure like the Note 7, which Samsung pulled out of the market a few days after it was launched.
