You Can Delete Built-In iOS Apps on iOS Device

August 9, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

You Can Finally Delete Built-In iOS Apps, but Should You?With iOS 10, it’s possible to remove 23 pre-installed apps from your iPhone or iPad. Doing so frees up space, but also has some drawbacks.

Apple recently announced that iPhone and iaPad users can finally delete pre-installed Apple apps. That means you can get rid of superfluous apps you never use, such as Compass and Tips, perhaps. It’s as simple as pressing and holding an app icon until it jiggles, and then tapping the ‘x’ that appears on it, but it only works after you install iOS 10.

delete apple apps

iOS 10 is out now in beta release, although many people will likely wait until September or October for the final build before they get it. Either way, there are a few things to know before you chuck those apps.

Ditch the App, Lose App Access
Get Organized When you delete one of the pre-installed apps from your iPhone or iPad, you’ll lose it from the Home screen, the Notifications panel, and any connected devices and services you might use, such as CarPlay and Apple Watch. You also might delete data stored in it, unless that data is saved to a related cloud account.

What I mean by that is if you delete, say, the Music app, and you have purchased songs in the app through iTunes, you’ll still be able to access your music through iTunes. But the songs will be gone from your iOS device when you remove the app.

You can always reinstall apps that used to be on your phone at no cost. So, if you change your mind and want to reinstall an app, it’s just a matter of downloading it and tailoring it again to how you use it.

Which Apps Can You Delete?
Once you have iOS 10 installed onto your device, you can remove up to 23 apps that you couldn’t before. Some are fine to remove if you have never used or rarely used them. Others require a little more explanation about what will happen if you delete them before you decide to do it. The apps I recommend removing if you have never (or rarely) used them are:

-Calculator
-Compass
-Find Friends
-iBooks
-Music
-Notes
-Podcasts
-Reminders
-Stocks
-Tips
-Watch
-Weather

Beyond those, there are 10 more apps you might delete, but they require a little more knowledge and thought. They are: Calendar, Contacts, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, iTunes Store, Mail, Maps, News (this one is not yet available to delete in iOS 10 beta, but it will be in a later release), Videos, and Voice Memos.

You might be thinking, “Why would I delete my Contacts app?” It’s pretty scary to think about eliminating your entire address book. Well, it turns out that won’t happen. If you delete the Contacts app, all the phone numbers and other information contained in that app will still be accessible from the Phone app. In other words, the information in your Contacts app isn’t solely relegated to that app. It’s elsewhere, too.

There are other apps that might also have important information that won’t necessarily disappear for all time if you wipe the app from your phone. For example, if you use Calendar on a Mac and sync your calendar entries across devices, you can delete the app from your phone without losing the calendar appointments from your other devices. Just make sure all the data has synced properly before doing it.

FaceTime is an app I’ve used only once or twice…until my sister started using it. Because I want her and other friends and family members to be able to get in touch with me by whatever means is most convenient for them, I will keep FaceTime on my phone. Put another way, even though FaceTime isn’t my first choice in communication apps, it might be for other people, and that’s reason enough for me to keep it around.

Tip: If you also want to be sure people can reach you via FaceTime, make sure you can get calls on it when you are not connected to Wi-Fi by enabling 3G/4G/LTE data use. Go to Settings > Cellular and scroll down until you see FaceTime. Make sure the green button appears.)

How Much Space Can You Reclaim?
The amount of space you can reclaim by deleting pre-installed Apple apps varies, although Apple estimates it’s only about 150MB for all 23 apps. It’s a little misleading, though, because the amount of space changes dramatically based on the data is associated with each app.

Let’s say you used the Music app some time ago, but then switched to a streaming service, like Spotify. If you have old music still downloaded onto your phone, it will all be deleted when you remove the Music app, and that could free up a huge amount of space.

The Videos app is great example, too. This app stores movies and TV shows you’ve downloaded to watch, not videos you’ve shot. Maybe you downloaded a movie to watch on a flight long ago and never remembered to delete it. It could be taking up a huge amount of space without you even knowing it, because when you go poking around the iOS settings to manage your storage, the Videos app doesn’t even show up! You can only see how much space videos are taking up when you plug your phone into a computer and view the space in iTunes.

If you’re still short on storage, read How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad for more tips. And if you’ve reclaimed space and are looking for new apps, be sure to check out our lists of the best iPhone apps and iPad apps.

How to Improve Wi-Fi Signal in Five Minutes

August 8, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Wi-Fi is just radio waves, and many things can cause interference. But a strong Wi-Fi signal can give you faster performance and better coverage distance, so it’s important to properly position and configure your router for optimal signal strength. I’ll show you how; it just takes a few minutes.

Point the Antenna Up

Routers generally have physical antennas that are adjustable. The antenna often comes pointed horizontally to fit the router inside its box. For maximum signal strength, position your router’s antenna vertically, pointing straight up. If you have two antennas, you won’t get better performance by pointing them in different directions.

Position Your Router Properly

Consider where you put your router. If you have a large home or office, place the router close to the center to maximize coverage. If you position the router at one end of the building, you may have poor (or no) signal at the other end.But keep in mind that if you already have your router positioned at one end of your home and the signal strength is just fine on the other side, you don’t need to move it.

For maximum coverage, the router should also be high up. Placing it on the floor is the worst location possible – place it on a high shelf, if possible.

Don’t place the router on or near large metal objects, such as metal shelves or filing cabinets. These can block the signal. Metal or stone walls can also block Wi-Fi, while wood and plaster walls won’t cause any problems.

You might be able to root out other sources of interference. For example: microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and 2.4 GHz baby monitors all have the potential to interfere with a Wi-Fi signal. I’ve personally experienced a Wi-Fi signal to my laptop dying every time a microwave oven was turned on. The microwave oven was in direct line-of-sight between my laptop and the router. The solution? Move any one of them so that the microwave isn’t in between. If you get interference from a cordless phone, you might want to purchase newer 5.8 GHz cordless phones; these workon a frequency band other than Wi-Fi and don’t cause any interfere.

Choose the Best Wi-Fi Channel

If you’re in an area with many different Wi-Fi networks — such as an apartment complex or even just a house close to other homes — your neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks are probably interfering with yours.

To minimize this, move your router further away from the other Wi-Fi access points, if you can. For example, if you’re in an apartment and have a router in the corner of your room, your neighbor’s router might be right on the other side of the wall.

But the best thing you can do is switch to a different Wi-Fi channel. You access this option on your router’s settings page — check your router’s instruction manual for instructions on how to do that. (If you don’t have the instruction manual, you can almost certainly find the instructions online.) Locate the Wi-Fi channel option in the router’s web interface and change it to a different channel with less interference.

It might take a little experimentation to find the best one, but you can get help choosing a Wi-Fi channel using the Wi-Fi Analyzer app for Android phones and tablets, which will monitor the Wi-Fi networks near you and recommend the least-cluttered Wi-Fi channel for your network. Unfortunately, similar apps aren’t available for iPhone or iPad due to the limitations Apple places on app developers.

That’s it — all you really have to do is position your router well and choose the ideal Wi-Fi channel to optimize your network. Of course, buying a new router that supports modern, improved Wi-Fi standards may also offer you a signal strength and speed boost.

25 Hidden iPhone Features that are Really, Truly Hidden

August 6, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

How many times have you seen posts on tech sites about “hidden iPhone features” and thought to yourself, these tricks aren’t really hidden at all. We’ve even had a few articles here on BGR with tips that were indeed unknown to most users, but the savvy iOS device owners out there were undoubtedly familiar with at least a few of them.

Well, in this piece we’re going to tell you about 25 hidden features on iPhone that are really, truly hidden. As in, you could look through your iPhone from now until the end of time and you wouldn’t find any of these tricks unless you know what you’re looking for.

iphone-plus

In the past, many of the hidden tips we’ve seen on sites and even covered here are simply things that are buried in the Settings app in places people normally wouldn’t look. These are great things to know — plenty of people would make their camera flash blink with incoming messages if they knew that they could, for example — but they’re not really “hidden” or “secret,” per se.

Each of the tips that follow below, however, are completely hidden. There is no indication that these functions exist in iOS, and we guarantee that most users don’t know about them. In fact, we also guarantee that even the savviest iPhone owners among you will find at least one or two things you didn’t already know. In fact, ran this list past a friend who works at Apple and there were a few things that even he didn’t know.

Enjoy.

Redial: In the Phone app, press the green call button on the keypad screen to make the last dialed number appear.

Clear cache: Make your iPhone run faster by clearing out the cache in several of Apple’s apps using a secret trick. In the App Store, Podcasts, Music, Game Center, iMessage and Phone apps, tap on any single tab icon at the bottom of the screen 10 times in a row.

Make TouchID work faster: Save the same fingerprint multiple times as different entries and TouchID will work much faster. This is especially useful on older phones like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s.

Spotlight conversions: Remember when we told you how easy conversions are in our post on Google search tricks? It’s even easier for iPhone users — just open Spotlight and type something like “20 euros in GBP,” and it will instantly perform the conversion.

Spotlight math: Want to do a quick math problem? No need to open the Calculator app, just pull down to open Spotlight and type it right there.

Delete numbers in the Calculator: Speaking of the Calculator, you can delete single digits when you tap the wrong number by swiping left or right on the screen where the numbers appear.

Clear RAM to make your phone run faster: Hold down the power button until you see “Slide to power off,” then let go and hold down the home button until the screen goes blank and your home screen reappears.

Burst mode: Hold down the camera’s shutter button to shoot in burst mode.

Remote shutter: Use the volume up or down button on your headphones to snap a photo in the Camera app.

Turn the flashlight off: How many times have you turned your flashlight on and wished that you didn’t have to swipe open the Control Panel again to shut it off? We’ll save you a step: simply swipe up on the camera icon on your lock screen and the flashlight will turn off.

3D Touch while drawing: All of the drawing tools and the eraser are pressure sensitive in the Notes app.

Close multiple apps at once: Double-tap the home button to open the app switcher and you can use two, even three fingers to slide multiple apps closed with one swipe.

Recently closed tabs: Want to reread this article on your phone but you forgot what site you were reading it on in the first place? Simply tap and hold on the + symbol in Safari on the tab carousel view to open a screen that lists all of your recently closed tabs.

Desktop version of a site: We all know you can request the desktop version of a mobile site in Safari but it’s easier to do than you think. Just hold down the reload button in the URL bar.

Peek at tabs: Not sure you want to open that tab in the Safari tab carousel? A 3D Touch will let you Peek at it first.

Peek at bookmarks: Did you know you can use 3D Touch to Peek at bookmarks before you open them?

Edit reminders: 3D Touch an item in your Reminders app to edit the time or add a location.

View only unread emails: So you don’t practice “inbox zero” like I do but you only want to see unread emails in your inbox. Tap the Mailboxes link in the top right corner of the Mail app and then tap Edit. Tap the circle next to “Unread” and you’ll have a new folder that contains only your unread emails.

Save a draft with one swipe: In the Mail app, tap on the subject line and swipe down to the bottom of the screen to save a draft.

Quick Reply: When you get a notification at the top of the screen that you have a new iMessage or SMS, pull the notification downward to reply without leaving the screen you’re on.

Hidden level(s): Slide to the left in the Compass app open the level. Then place your phone flat with the screen facing away from the ground to reveal a bubble level.

Artist Peek: 3D Touch an artist in the Music app to Peek at their music.

Reenable Low Power Mode: When Low Power Mode automatically shuts off as you charge, you’ll get a notification on your lock screen that it has been disabled. Swipe left on that notification to turn it back on.

Find an iPhone’s owner: Did you find a lost iPhone in a bar? Simply ask Siri, “whose phone is this?” and it will show you so you can get in touch with him or her and return it.

Reachability: This is one of the new iPhones’ best features and there are still SO many people who don’t know about it. Double-touch (don’t tap, touch) on the home button and the entire screen will shift down so you can reach the top without shifting your grip.

14 Things You Didn’t Know Your Apple Headphones Can Do

August 6, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Two days ago I accidentally stomped on the EarPods that came with my iPhone 6, shattering the left bud, and sending my morning commute into total disarray. I lamented. I yelled. I thought about calling in sick. A little dramatic? Maybe. But the loss wasn’t just about missing my morning podcasts.

You see, in typical Apple style, an intuitive remote control hides within the ubiquitous white headset that I unwittingly demolished — offering users so much more than the obvious headphone capability. Here are 14 things you might not realize your Apple EarPods can do, from sending unwanted calls straight to voicemail with one click (sorry mom), to effortlessly fast-forwarding to the best part of “Mambo No. 5.”

hidden features of iPhone headphone

1. Play/pause songs
How: Click center button

If you want to start playing the song you left off on—or to pause it midstream—simply click the center button to get the ball rolling (or stopping). In addition to songs, this (and the rest of the music-related tricks) will work with videos and podcasts, and applies to streaming services like Spotify as well as your iTunes library.

2. Skip to the next song
How: Double-click center button

To skip over the filler in your favorite albums, or to reach “Eye of The Tiger” and give your stamina a much needed boost at the tail end of your morning jog, a quick double click will do the trick.

3. Start a song over
How: Triple-click center button

If you just can’t listen to “Uptown Funk” enough times, you can triple click the center button to repeat the funk over, and over, and over again. Don’t believe me? Just click (thrice).

4. Fast-forward
How: Double-click, and hold (during a song/video)

Because sometimes, you just want to skip to the good part.

5. Rewind
How: Triple-click and hold (during a song/video)

Because sometimes, you just want to experience the good part all over again.

6. Take a picture
How: Click either volume button (with camera app open)

If you need to swiftly snap an incriminating photo of your best friend at 4 AM, but need to keep your hands steady, an ideal way to get shot you want, without your fingers messing up the action is by clicking the volume button, which is effectively a shutter when your camera is open.

7. Use it as a microphone
How: Um, just talk into it

Okay, so this might be the most “obvious” inclusion on this list, but you’d be surprised as to how many people don’t realize that little volume control is also an effective microphone (it has a lil’ microphone emblem, on the back you know). As someone who spends a lot of time on the phone for work inside an occasionally noisy open office, I can personally attest that this is the best way to clearly communicate over your phone or take down a voice memo.

8. Answer the phone
How: When getting an incoming call, click the center button once

Simple enough, but not having to take your phone out of your pocket when you get a call is surprisingly cool, though you can’t screen your calls with your phone in your pants…

9. Hang up the phone
How: Click the center button once (while on the phone)

If you want to end the call you’ve started (probably because you didn’t see who was calling, in the first place) just hit the center button again and get on with your life. If you are getting another call, and want to hang up on the one you are on, this works, too.

10. Hold one call, and switch to another line
How: Click center button once (while on the phone, and getting another call)

When your on the phone with your mistress, and then your other mistress calls, you can put her on hold and answer the other call, just by holding down the center button for a second. No one gets hung up on; everything is cool.

11. Hang up on someone on the other line
How: Click and hold down on center button for two seconds (while on the the phone, and getting another call)

If your mistress is calling, and you definitely don’t want to talk to her, just click and hold down the center button for two seconds, to send them packing.

12. Send an incoming call straight to voicemail
How: Hold down center button (while receiving an incoming call)

Nobody checks/cares about voicemail anymore. But if you just want to avoid someone, this is the best way to do it.

13. Talk to Siri
How: Press and hold center button (if you aren’t on the phone with anyone)

To get in front of Siri in the quickest way possible, just hit and hold down the center button till she pops up. Then, you can boss her around. Also, once you’ve already opened Siri up, you can hold your center button down again to ask her another question.

14. Use these tricks with your Mac and iPad
How: The same way you did everything on your iPhone!

With any modern Apple product (sorry “White Mac” users), you can use your EarPods to accomplish any of these shortcuts on your other devices along with controlling volume (duh). Who knew you could accomplish so much with just a finger and thumb?

August 5, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Backup is essential.Whether your Android smart phone or Android tablet,the backup at the appropriate time come to save the unnecessary trouble.It’s no more worse than you find that you have backed up anything on device after losing data.So here are several ways to make a backup of Android for reference.

You should back up your Android data often as you never know when you might accidentally delete/lost something valuable.It could also happen when you perform updates or clean out your files to save space,device lost/stolen,etc,. Whatever the reason,you should keep your data backed up as frequently as possible.

Part 1:Backup Android Phone or Tablet with USB
Part 2:Backup Android Phone or Tablet with Google
Part 3:Backup Android Data to Computer with Phone Transfer
Part 4:Restore Backed up Data from Computer to Android with Phone Transfer
Part 5:Backup Android Data to Computer with Android Data Recovery
Part 6:Restore Backed up Data from Computer to Android with Android Data Recovery

Part 1:Backup Android Phone or Tablet with USB

I recommend making the first backup of your Android data be a copy of the SD card you keep on your computer. I’ll list the basic steps here, but note that, with Android devices, there may be slight variations in the exact wording or steps.

Step 1.Connect your Android device to your computer (Windows or Mac should both work) via the USB cable.

Step 2.On your Android, pull down the main menu (swipe down from the top of the screen) and select “USB connection.”

Step 3.On the next page, choose USB Mass Storage and hit OK.

Step 4.You’ll see a new drive or “Removable Disk” appear on your computer for the SD card. Open it up,and copy all the files inside to a new location on your computer.I would put the date right into the name of the folder-something like “130815_ANDROID-SD-CARD-BACKUP”-so you can very easily identify it and when it was created.

This first backup copy is all well and easy, and you’ll be thankful you have it if anything goes wrong,but it’s not likely to be updated too often.So for your second backup,I recommend choosing a method that will update more frequently to ensure you have all the most recent photos, texts, settings, and everything else stored on your Android.

But seeing as Android is all about giving users choice, there are a few different options.

Part 2:Backup Android Phone or Tablet with Google

Luckily,Google automatically syncs things like your contacts, calendar appointments, docs, and even app purchases-as long as you give it permission to do so.

If you go into your phone’s settings, you’ll find a section called Backup & Reset. In here you’ll find an option for backing up your data, including Wi-Fi passwords, preferences and app data. All of this will be tied to your Google account, which you can set to automatically restore when you re-install an app.

Samsung Pay:What You Need to Know

August 4, 2016 DHZ Leave a comment

Samsung Pay is now available in the US. Here’s how it works and what you need to use the mobile payment system.Samsung’s mobile payment system Samsung Pay is now available in the United States after an earlier deployment in the electronic giant’s home country of South Korea.

It works in almost all stores — including those that use older magnetic stripe point-of-sale terminals — without merchants needing to opt-in to any program or update hardware.

Where is Samsung Pay available?
It’s currently available in South Korea and the US. Samsung Pay will be available in China in March, with the service launching in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, Spain and the UK later in 2016.

samsung-pay

What phone/bank/card/carrier do I need?
Samsung Pay works with higher-end Samsung phones: the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S6 Edge+, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Active and Galaxy Note 5. It is also available on the Gear S2 smartwatch, but only for transactions on NFC terminals.

The phone also needs to be on one of the following carriers in the United States: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular or Verizon.You will need a Visa, MasterCard or American Express issued by Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, PNC, Synchrony Financial, US Bank or Wells Fargo.

For Australia, there’s no information about which carriers Samsung Pay will be partnered with and so far the only financial institution partnership that has been announced is American Express.

Where can I use Samsung Pay?
Samsung claims that its system will work with almost all point of sale systems: NFC, magnetic stripe and EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) terminals for chip-based cards.

However, it won’t work with readers where you need to physically insert your card into a slot such as those found at gas stations and on an ATM.

In two weeks of using Samsung Pay in stores around San Francisco, I found that it was accepted almost everywhere. These included vendors using Square readers; NFC terminals in major chain retailers like Trader Joe’s and Walgreens; and magnetic stripe readers in smaller stores. Merchants may still require you to sign a receipt for the transaction.

One point-of-sale system that did not work with Samsung Pay was an iPad-based payment terminal called Shopkeep. It recognized that I was trying to make a payment but it said that Samsung Pay wasn’t a valid credit card. A Samsung spokesperson said that “We are constantly updating Samsung Pay to work with the vast majority of card readers — unlike every other mobile payment option which only work with a limited number.”

What does the setup process involve?
Once the Samsung Pay app is installed, register your fingerprint on the device if you haven’t done so already. The camera will launch so you can scan your credit or debit card. Check that the number, name and expiration date are all correct. Finally, the app will need to verify the card by sending you an SMS or email from your bank.A total of 10 cards can be added to Samsung Pay.

How does it work?
Samsung Pay uses near-field communication (NFC) technology to process payments at tap-to-pay terminals.

However, the system also works with almost all other magnetic stripe terminals as well. These older systems are widely deployed throughout retailers in the US. Samsung Pay uses magnetic secure transmission (MST) when the phone is held against one of these registers. The phone emits a magnetic signal that simulates the magnetic strip found on the back of a credit or debit card.

Earlier in 2015 Samsung acquired mobile payment company LoopPay which developed the specific MST technology used for Samsung Pay.

How do I make a payment with Samsung Pay?
From the lock screen, swipe up from the small Samsung Pay bar just above the home button. Then place your finger on the home button to verify your fingerprint and hold the back of the phone against the payment terminal.

Once the payment is made you will get an Android notification that confirms the merchant name and the amount of your purchase. This information is also documented in the Samsung Pay app.

How does it differ from Apple Pay or Android Pay?
The main difference is that Samsung Pay works at almost all stores that accept credit or debit cards, not just those with tap-to-pay NFC terminals.

Is it secure?
Samsung Pay does not store the account or credit card numbers of cards on the device, instead using tokenization for transactions. Each time a purchase is made, the Samsung Pay handset sends two pieces of data to the payment terminal. The first is a 16-digit token that represents the credit or debit card number, while the second piece is a one-time code or cryptogram that’s generated by the phone’s encryption key.

What if I lose my phone?
Payments can’t be made from your phone without being authorized via fingerprint or the PIN chosen during the setup process. If you register with Samsung’s Find My Mobile service you can remotely erase information on the phone, including any cards stored in Samsung Pay.

Can I use Samsung Pay even without a Wi-Fi/cellular connection?
Yes, although you will only be able to make 10 payments without the device being on Wi-Fi or cellular data. You will also need to have an active internet connection to add a card and to access transaction history.

Does Samsung Pay also work for returns?
Yes. Merchants may require you to hold the phone against the payment terminal in the same way as when you make a payment to process the return. Also, you will be asked to match the payment information on the receipt with the last four digits of your virtual card number. This is accessed through the Samsung Pay app.
