How To: Protect Your Privacy On A New Android Phone

Android is a great operating system with a broad range of useful features, but like any other OS, it’s not capable of efficiently protecting your privacy if you’re not careful. Just like no amount of encryption can make a difference if people are using passwords like “1234” and “password,” no Android security patch can replace a healthy degree of caution and vigilance. With that in mind, here are some crucial tips for protecting your privacy on your brand new Android phone or just making sure your data is secure on your old device. For starters, the moment you power on your Android phone for the first time, you should turn on its Lock Screen feature. Even if you aren’t bothered by the idea of someone picking up your smartphone and going through your messages, emails, and Internet history, an unlocked device is every phone thief’s dream, and you surely don’t want to make their life easier in an unfortunate event your device gets stolen. So, making sure your phone isn’t accessible to an...

How To: Take A Screenshot On The LeEco Super4 X65 Android TV

Taking a screenshot on Android TV has never been the easiest or most user-friendly of tasks. Well, unless you have an NVIDIA SHIELD, as that console does offer a very easy way to take screenshots. Of course, you can always connect your device up to a computer and take a screenshot using ADB. But for some, that might be more work than they really want to embark on when just looking to quickly take a screenshot. One of the newest arrivals to the Android TV scene though, is the LeEco Super4 X-series of TVs and it seems they have a very easy way to take a screenshot. In fact, by Android TV standards, this is probably the easiest way ever to take a screenshot. The remote control is the key here as the LeEco Super4 X-series remote comes with a very prominent ‘LeEco key’. This one is at the bottom of the remote (shown below) and if you press it, it opens LeEco’s TV ecosystem – where you can access a bunch of content with your connected LeEco account. However, if you long press the same bu...

How To Use Adoptable Storage On The NVIDIA SHIELD 2017

If you are considering picking up a new new NVIDIA SHIELD then one thing you will want to take into consideration is the fact that there is no microSD card slot on offer. This is one of the fundamental changes between the new model and the old model and does mean that you have lost the ability to make use of external microSD card storage. However, that is not really an issue to be honest. As the new SHIELD does come with adoptable storage and that does mean that you can use a USB drive exactly like you would use a microSD card. In fact, the whole process is super easy with the new SHIELD and you will literally be able to make use of USB external storage in no time. Once you plug a USB drive into one of the USB slots on the back of the SHIELD, the console will immediately recognize the attached USB and ask you what you would like to do with it. Of course, if you do only want to view the contents of the USB stick and not use it as a storage base, you can just select the “browse” opti...
