What NOT to do with your new Android phone?

What NOT to do with your new Android phone?

Many know what they want to do right away with their brand new Android phone, but most don’t know what not to do. In this text, I will give advice on what is not the best thing to do based on the personal experience of many Android users.

DO NOT install applications with unnecessary permissions

DO NOT install applications with unnecessary permissions

Many extremely simple applications require some permissions on the phone that it really doesn't even need. For example, what will the "Flashlight" application get permission for your location or directory and the like? Speaking of that app, don’t install them because Android 5.0+ has that option built-in. Before installing any application, check the permissions required on the application page of the Play Store. If you have Android 6.0+ then no problem, you can limit any permission in the app options. If you have older versions of Android, you can use the Xprivacy module for Xposed - Root required.

DO NOT install applications that "speed up" the phone

DO NOT install applications that "speed up" the phone

With a large number of inexperienced users who have just received their Android phone, I have seen installed applications that "speed up" the phone, such as various Cleaners, RAM managers, Task killers, etc. Android in newer versions (versions used in every phone today) has a great built-in app and memory manager - you have absolutely no need to install apps designed for that. I have already written about this, so read HERE.

DO NOT expect the iPhone experience

DO NOT expect the iPhone experience

If you have just switched to Android from iPhone, or you have tried iPhone from your friend, do not expect an identical work experience. Because, with the Apple device, the rule "everything just works" applies, but that's just how the user sees and thinks (it's interesting that apps on iOS shoot more often than on Android), and in fact, Apple tried to provide such a feeling no matter what it really happens "under the hood". Android is really user-friendly and doesn't hide anything, it's completely yours, it's completely open, and that's why "not so smooth work" can be noticed. The advice is to take a Nexus device after the iPhone because it is produced by Google and Android is best optimized for it.

DO NOT buy the phone from the operator

DO NOT buy the phone from the operator

Why? There are several reasons. First of all, they insert too many unnecessary applications (so-called Bloatware) which are used only for promotion and you cannot remove them as a normal user. The only way is a new system and for that you need Root and you lose the warranty. Furthermore, they send OTA (over-the-air) updates very slowly, so you get, with a little luck, the latest system even after a year from its appearance of that system. And finally, when you pay for the device after e.g. 2 years turns out to be more expensive than if you bought it in a store. And you were still limited and nailed to that operator all the time.

And for the end…

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

By Administrator
Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.
