Phones / How To Activate New Spam Protection Feature On Android by phonedaddy: 10:43am On Jan 29, 2019
We all know very well that email has been associated with spam messages almost constantly, but over the years it has evolved itself a lot simply to infect the systems of internet users. But, hold on, emails are not only the hiding place for spam, as our Android devices are also prone to this vulnerability.
However, the tech giant Google is fully aware of this and now it has decided to end it. As the well-known search engine and the developer of the world’s most used mobile operating system, of course, I am talking about none other than Android, has already launched a new security system for all the Android users that will simply help them to end the arrival of spam on any Android device.

In fact, at this time the tech giant Google has already begun to send this new feature to many users of its application Messages. Basically, this is a new functionality that will simply prevent these unwanted messages from being entering into our Android devices. As in this way, little by little, users are getting a new protection system that is implemented directly in the well-known Messages apps for Android.

However, we all must bear in mind that for all this to work in the best way, the messages that we receive through this communication system must be sent to the tech giant Google itself, which certainly will not please everyone, especially those who look closely at everything related to their privacy. So, if you don’t have any problem with this then let’s get started and explore the tutorial simply to activate the feature in your Android device.

How to activate the new “Spam Protection” feature on any Android device?

First of all, you have to download the “Messages” app on your Android device (if you do not have).

Now open the Messages app on your Android device.



1 473x1024 - How To Activate The New Spam Protection Feature On Any Android

After the above step now simply tap on the three dots on the right upper corner of your screen.



2 473x1024 - How To Activate The New Spam Protection Feature On Any Android

Now simply tap on settings option.

Then simply tap on your desired operator option.



3 473x1024 - How To Activate The New Spam Protection Feature On Any Android

Now simply tap on the Spam protection option.



4 555x1024 - How To Activate The New Spam Protection Feature On Any Android

After that now you can simply enable the spam protection feature.



5 473x1024 - How To Activate The New Spam Protection Feature On Any Android

That’s it now you are done.

However, apart from all these things, we must keep in our mind that this function is new and it will gradually reach to all the users. If in case if you want to deactivate the feature anytime, then you can simply follow the same steps mentioned above to deactivate it.

Moreover, at the same time on the screen, we can see a warning that clearly informs us that some details of the message will be shared with Google if the function is activated, all in order to detect spam in the most efficient way. So, if you liked the tutorial then do not forget to share this article with your friends and family.

Phones / 9 Apps That Weak Your Phone's Battery Life. by phonedaddy: 8:41am On Jan 24, 2019
485
The Google Play store just announced a list of apps that are responsible for reducing up your battery life and not much else.

Despite the apps lack of functionality, they have been downloaded over 8 million times in the Play store.

When users open the apps they appear to be ‘not working’ but actually they attack your phone with malware and drain your battery.

All of the 9 apps in question come from a developer called Tools4TV and they include:

Remote control for TV and home electronics
Remote for television for free
Air conditioner remote control
TV remote controlling
Remote for air conditioner
Remote control for the car (prank)
Universal TV remote controller
TV remote controller
Remote control.
Google has removed the suspicious apps from the play store but if you have one of these downloaded onto your phone it’s a good idea to remove it immediately.

Phones / Do You Know What The White Or Black Stripes On Your Earpiece Jack do ? by phonedaddy: 12:28pm On Jan 22, 2019
Do you know what the white or black stripes on your headphones or earpiece jack do ?

These mostly are on the jack that enter into your smartphone or music devices. Mostly they are white or dark rings that might look like something meant for decoration. They serve the purpose of protecting the wire that transmits sound to the headphones or earpiece. They are usually two to three rings, one for the left headphone/earpiece and the other for the right and the last is neutral.

In order words, those stripes act as insulators, each one of the white or black band is a contact for a certain wire. One will be left speaker, one will be right speaker, one will be the microphone, and one will be the ground wire. The stripes keep the wires insulated from one another.

Phones / Top 10 Android App That Turn Your Phone Into A Hacking Device by phonedaddy: 8:50am On Jan 21, 2019
These are the top 10 Android Apps That Turn Your Phone into a Hacking Device


1.SpoofApp
SpoofApp is a Caller ID Spoofing, Voice Changing and Call Recording mobile app for your iPhone, BlackBerry and Android phone. It’s a decent mobile app to help protect your privacy on the phone. However, it has been banned from the Play Store for allegedly being in conflict with The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009.


2.Andosid
The DOS tool for Android Phones allows security professionals to simulate a DOS attack (an http post flood attack to be exact) and of course a dDOS on a web server, from mobile phones.


3.Faceniff
Allows you to sniff and intercept web session profiles over the WiFi that your mobile is connected to. It is possible to hijack sessions only when WiFi is not using EAP, but it should work over any private networks.


4.Nmap
Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner originally written by Gordon Lyon used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, thus creating a “map” of the network. To accomplish its goal, Nmap sends specially crafted packets to the target host and then analyses the responses.


5.Anti-Android Network Toolkit
zANTI is a comprehensive network diagnostics toolkit that enables complex audits and penetration tests at the push of a button. It provides cloud-based reporting that walks you through simple guidelines to ensure network safety.


6.SSHDroid
SSHDroid is a SSH server implementation for Android. This application will let you connect to your device from a PC and execute commands (like “terminal” and “adb shell”) or edit files (through SFTP, WinSCP, Cyberduck, etc).


7.WiFi Analyser
Turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyser. Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.


8. Network Discovery
Discover hosts and scan their ports in your Wifi network. A great tool for testing your network security.


9.ConnectBot
ConnectBot is a powerful open-source Secure Shell (SSH) client. It can manage simultaneous SSH sessions, create secure tunnels, and copy/paste between other applications. This client allows you to connect to Secure Shell servers that typically run on UNIX-based servers.

10.dSploit
Android network analysis and penetration suite offering the most complete and advanced professional toolkit to perform network security assessments on a mobile device.

Phones / Top Android 9 Pie Hidden Features by phonedaddy: 9:41am On Jan 17, 2019
so some of us have just got the latest pie update including Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 stylus users and i thought i should care some top features of Android 9.0 Pie and features that probably many missed out on the latest Android OS. so enjoy fellas ! grin grin

Digital Wellbeing
You probably know about this. The company has rolled out some features that will help users to stay off their devices as much as possible with Android Pie. The Digital Wellbeing features are currently available under the beta version, and you can get the features straight on your device settings once you install the latest Android 9.0 OS.

Disable System UI Notifications
You can disable the system UI notifications on Android Pie like your battery status, system update, screenshot alerts and more. To disable your System notifications, you need to go to the UI app settings and turn off the systems alerts.

Remove Animations
On the latest Pie, you can remove the system animation via Developer options to make your system work fast. You can also find the option to remove the animations in the Accessibility menu. It helps your system to work lag-free making it snappy and faster.

Alert Slider
Like the famous OnePlus Alert Slider, the latest Android 9.0 Pie comes with a new option to 'mute or vibrate' your device with the help of physical buttons. Like OnePlus phones, now you can also your 9.0 Pie phone buttons as slider. You will find the option in Sound settings where you can use the Power Button and Volume Button together to Mute or Vibrate your device without even turning it on.

Automatic Auto Rotate
You no more have to turn on or off the Auto Rotate option anymore to switch to Landscape or Portrait. With Android Pie 9.0, you will get an animated rotation icon on your screen whenever you tilt your device. So, no more that annoying rotates. Android 9.0 Pie devices will not have to be rotated manually anymore.

Split The Screen
The latest Android OS has the option of splitting the screen option on the Recent apps screen. When you click on the Recent App menu, there's a pop-up window to split the screen, pin the screen screen and app info, all at one place on 9.0 Pie.

Emergency Lockdown
Handing over the device to show something to someone will not trouble you anymore. Android Pie comes with an Emergency lockdown feature that disables the fingerprint scanner and facial recognition, and hides all sort of sensitive content on the lock screen once you turn on the feature by pressing the power button.

Standby Buckets
Android Pie comes with Standby Buckets that helps you limit the data usage of apps in the background. The feature on Android 9.0 Pie categorizes the apps to help the device access the device resources properly like CPU, battery and RAM. It has four categories: Active, Working Set, Frequent and Rare.

Feature Flags
Like Chrome, Android Pie now comes with an option of feature flags. The feature flags are basically experimental tweaks. These are generally for users and developers that help them to test out beta features or upcoming updates on these apps.
App Timer

Android 9.0 Pie will come with a special option called App Timer that will help users to set a time limit for your device uasge. Under Digital Wellbeing, the App Timer limits the usage of apps and grays out the icons on your home screen for rest of the day. It is available in the Dashboard settings.

Phones / How To Use Your Infinix Phone Like A Pro by phonedaddy: 2:32pm On Jan 09, 2019
INFINIX as do most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ships with a heavily customized user interface (UI). In a bid to set themselves apart, Infinix XOS is a beautiful customizable skin based on Android. While Android purists swear by the stock UI created by Google, we beg to differ. OEMs do put heart and soul into a visually pleasing UI. The likes of HTC, Huawei, Samsung and others have iconic skins we have come to love and associate with the brand.

Across various price and quality scales, smartphone design and specs have reached saturation point to almost achieve homogeneity. Seeing as there’s only so much OEMs can do to set themselves apart from their rivals, a custom UI is the way to go.

- Infinix’s XOS UI such as XOS Chameleon and the newer XOS Hummingbird bring a bunch of custom features. The XOS family apps let you customize your device in so many ways, and all without needing to root your device. Well then, let’s have a look at what you can do.

Customization with Xtheme

Xtheme which is in truth a launcher is regularly updated with beautiful themes, wallpaper and fonts. All these are free to download and the fonts (We are using Ginkgo) are deployed over the entire OS. This means that you take your font to your apps including browsers for a custom look and feel. In a few clicks, you will have your entire device revamped to mimic other custom launchers (We are rocking the MIUI theme and love it).

Optimization with Xmanager

In a nutshell, the XManager bundles up the following features: Mobile cleanup, App manager, Bandwidth manager and Auto-start manager. Let’s break this down some more and see what each aspect entails:

Mobile cleanup clears cached trash, installation APKs and large files chewing up your storage space.
App manager lets you dictate which apps can send notifications, and provides one-touch app uninstall. More to that, you can also force stop or disable apps altogether, if you so wish.
Bandwidth manager lets you create and monitor a mobile data plan by specifying monthly usage. You can toggle the Autodisconnect button to cut off data once you reach a specified data limit. And one more thing. Under network manager, you can set whether to allow an app to use your mobile data or not.
Auto-start manager lets you set which apps to run automatically once you power on your device.

Power management with XPower

XPower is your one-stop app to manage everything to do with power and battery life. By default, your device is set to Normal mode which optimises system functions with optimum battery usage. “To hell with power optimisation,” you say? Well, in that case, you can go out on all cylinders in blazing glory with High-Performance mode. Sure, your estimated battery will deplete faster, but at least you can finally see your Infinix device in beast mode.

App lock and permission management with XSecurity

On top of the Android System passcode lock/fingerprint/Face ID, XOS provides a second layer of security in the form of XSecurity. Many apps, including WhatsApp don’t have a way to prevent unauthorized access. App lock lets you do just that. This way, you can prevent snoopers from checking out your Gallery, downloading games on the Play Store, and much more.

XSecutity’s Permission management is another important tool worth checking out. It’s a one-click feature which shows you what permissions your downloaded apps have allowed themselves. Make your you check what apps use your camera, location, microphone, contacts, and what not.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a phone passcode lock. In this day and age, some people walk around with unlocked phones, and we wonder why. This is no different from a human inviting a vampire into their house. Do it once and there’s no taking it back. Your phone is home to all manner of sensitive data and information. In the wrong hands, things can go real bad real fast.

Hide your apps with XHide

If at all the XSecurity feature doesn’t do it for you, perhaps XHide might be more to your liking. XHide disappears icons from your app list. Not convinced? You better be. XHide is so thorough that the app in question disappears altogether, even in the App list. Going to the Play Store doesn’t help either. The only option you get is to uninstall it. A good application for XHide, for instance, would be that time you need to hide games from your kids, and also private apps like your banking apps. We leave it up to you.

Share apps and files with XShare

XShare works exactly as advertised with one caveat. The other person needs to have XShare installed on their device as well. If you have used Xender before, XShare won’t be any different. Once you have pinpointed what to send, XShare will provide a QR code. On the other phone, you have to click receive after which you can scan the QR code to get connected. Simple as that. What we didn’t like was XShare serving us news feed. Who needs that, really?

Online backup with XCloud

XCloud is an XOS feature which lets you automatically backup and restore your contacts, messages, call logs, notebook, saved Wifi passwords and favourited FM radio stations. This way will ensure you retain your data even after a factory reset or changing devices. But to do so, you need to have an XAccount, which brings us to our next XOS feature.

Access XOS apps with XAccount

From our observations, you need an XAccount to access XCloud and XClub. You also earn Xgold and badges which range from VIP1 badge to VVIP badge for outstanding contribution. Some of the ways to contribute to the community and earn Xgold is to complete certain tasks in the XAccount. These include updating your picture for 20 Xgold and improving information in the community for 30 Xgold. We are not yet sure as to the rationale of the badges and the Xgold, and it does seem like personal data harvesting. But who are we to judge?

Contribute to the XOS community with XClub

Infinix runs an active XOS community with XClub. In this forum, official Infinix Administrators and moderators interact with Infinix users across the globe. If you imagine these forums quiet abandoned alleyways, think again. The community is thriving. Infinix regularly updates its fans on what’s new and hip. It’s a treasure trove of information, from tips and tricks, reviews, news, discussions, even after sales service. A few minutes perusal yielded tonnes of information about my S2 Pro that I frankly had no idea about. Kudos for that, Infinix

Phones / Why Should Regular Phone Updates? by phonedaddy: 11:36am On Dec 10, 2018
Currently almost every phone company releases OTA updates a few days after the phone is released. It is a company's after sales service. After a phone arrives in the market, there may be some bugs or users may have different expectations about a particular program or new technologies coming after the phone release can be useful for that phone. The following services are provided by the company, through the release of the phone release. Most companies, including Infinix, collaborate with the official and non-official online groups or forums to know the user experience and try to update the best user experience by optimizing it.

After the update came to the phone, many want to know, what will be the update?

Of course. If you update the phone,
Google will get the latest security.
> If there is a bug in the phone it will be fixed.
> Set will be fast.
> There is a possibility to add new features.
> Camera, battery performance is likely to increase.
> Get the update Android version in the applicable case.

Sometimes it can be seen that upgrading a feature to an update may cause some problems in another feature. Do not be afraid, the next update will fix it.

That is, all the updates are necessary for you.
