justify&semi;">Security is always important&comma; as there is a lot of data which we store on our phones&period; If we were to lose our phones we could be giving away a lot of information&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">To enable this&comma; delve into Security within your device Settings&period; From here&comma; depending on your device&comma; you will have an array of different security settings to choose from&comma; this includes phones with fingerprint scanners&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">5&rpar; Finding any file<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1320" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;newsforpublic&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2017&sol;03&sol;image&lowbar;5-1024x608&period;png" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"1024" height&equals;"608" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;

To find the folders and files&comma; head on to the Files apps&period; If you don&&num;8217&semi;t happen to have an application installed&comma; you can install one for free&comma; like ES File Explorer&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Navigate to your Internal Storage and in our example&comma; look for the Pictures folder&period; In this folder&comma; you will find your Screenshots folder among others&comma; such as <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;newsforpublic&period;com&sol;whatsapp-opened-feature-location-tracking&sol;">WhatsApp<&sol;a> folders&comma; which holds media shared to and from your WhatsApp contacts&period; Knowledge about this folder is useful when you want to transfer images taken from your android phone to your computer&period; By default&comma; the root directory will hold the DCIM folder&comma; where all your camera photos will be stored&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">6&rpar; Set your Wifi sleep policy to no<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">This one sounds a bit counter productive&comma; but trust me here&period; If you have access to Wifi throughout the day&comma; and you use it often&comma; this will help you save your battery&period; Use this tip with a Wifi toggle widget &lpar;see the homescreen section below&rpar; and it&&num;8217&semi;s easy&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">On your phone&comma; tap the menu button and go to settings&period; From this list&comma; choose Wireless &amp&semi; networks&comma; then &&num;8220&semi;Wi-Fi settings&&num;8221&semi;&period; this is where you can choose what Wifi access point to connect to&comma; but there&&num;8217&semi;s also some options which are hidden&period; To see them just tap on the menu button again and choose advanced options&period; What we are interested in is &&num;8220&semi;Wi-Fi sleep policy&&num;8221&semi;&period; Tap it&comma; and set it to &&num;8220&semi;Never&&num;8221&semi;&period; What this does is keep your phone from switching to the 3G or 4G radio when the screen shuts off&period; Those radios need more power than the Wi-fi radio&comma; so at any time we can keep out Wifi alive we are saving energy&period; Remember to put a shortcut or widget on your home screen to quickly turn Wifi on and off for those times when you are not around an access point&period; This will keep your phone from scanning for available networks&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">7&rpar; Move apps to your SD card from phone memory<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1319" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;newsforpublic&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2017&sol;03&sol;image&lowbar;7&period;png" alt&equals;"Move to usb storage" width&equals;"480" height&equals;"800" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Since Android 2&period;2 &lpar;Froyo&rpar;&comma; Android has included the ability to move apps from your device internal application storage into the microSD card you&&num;8217&semi;ve placed in your phone&period; Not all apps can be moved&comma; developers has to code them properly and things like widgets&comma; live wallpapers and anything else that needs to be run as soon as the phone boots up shouldn&&num;8217&semi;t be moved to the SD card at all&period; But things like games and other big apps will usually move right over&comma; leaving only a small bit of information behind&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Moving them is very easy&period; From your home screen&comma; press the menu button&comma; then go to settings&period; From the settings menu&comma; choose applications and then Manage applications&period; Find the app which you want to move in the list and tap it&&num;8217&semi;s list entry&period; If it can be moved&comma; you&&num;8217&semi;ll see a button that says &&num;8220&semi;Move to USB storage&&num;8221&semi;&period; Press it&comma; and go&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon;

justify&semi;">Sideloading simply means that the installation of apps without going through the official Android Market&period; That in and of itself is by no means bad&comma; as there are several other marketplaces and app stores for Android&period; There is no need to root or jailbreak your new Android phone to do it&comma; it&&num;8217&semi;s simple&period; Smell that&quest; It&&num;8217&semi;s called open &colon;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;
