Android 12 beta: Tips to Install Google’s New Phone OS

Office release is yet to be finalized, but download your first public beta of Android 12.

Here is something good to hear for Android users, as the public beta of Android 12 is available to download now. Google provided the very first in-depth appearance of Android 12 at Google I/O and is delighted to say that the looks are remarkable. With the preview of new features and designs, Google also released the first public beta of Android 12, which can be installed on any compatible device and can test the new mobile operating system.

However, the public beta of operating systems generally contains bugs and viruses, so if anyone with a brave heart is ready to try out the early version, they should know about new features. The Android 12 beta will feature enhanced privacy controls and an adaptive interface, which can change the colors of your phone’s appearance according to your wallpaper.

With this new upgrade, Android devices will perform better with other gadgets such as Android TVs and Chromebooks. Before downloading the early public beta, here are some details to look out for in order to help Google test the new operating system.

Android 12 beta main recognition starts with Pixel series

Google has announced that the public beta of Android 12 is releasing for its lineup of Pixel phones. Here the particular models of Pixel phones that are allowed for testing, such as:

Pixel 4a

Pixel 5

Pixel 4

Pixel 4a (5G)

Pixel 3a

Pixel 3 XL

Pixel 3a XL

Pixel 3

According to Google’s announcement, other device manufacturers are participating in testing the Android 12 beta.

What is the procedure to test Android 12 in the Pixel model?

In case you own any of the above-mentioned Pixel models to start the testing of Android 12, you should start the process by going to the Android Beta Program website. Now sign in with the same Google account logged in to your phone. Before going further, Google will display warning content related to the operating system. Now you have to read the entire information and then agree once you are done.

The bottom side of the page will show you lists of models linked to your account that are allowed to take part in the testing beta. Tap on the ‘Opt-In’ button for the model to be enrolled in the program. Here comes the terms and conditions part, which you need to accept, and then tap ‘Confirm and Enroll’ once you are done.

If you are experiencing random issues, and the website is swirling up and down, then wait for an hour or two, and you can also keep trying.

The net step would be visiting Settings- System- Advanced- System update- Check for update on your phone. Your phone may require one or two minutes to display the update, and in case you do not get to see the pending update by clicking the first time on the update button, you need to let it rest for few minutes, then try again.

If your phone shows the update information, then process it by installing just like you download other updates. Once your phone reboots, it will be running on a test version of Android 12.

What if it’s not the Pixel model?

Google announced during keynote that its partners would release the first public beta of Android 12 for other devices as well. The lists that may get public beta are ZTE, Oppo, OnePlus, Sharp, Vivi, Asus, Tecno, TCL, and RealMe.

For the past years, the process of installing the update for vendors has been dissimilar. Usually, they need a strange kind of connection in order to install the update on your system. And it needed to reset the phone more often during the process of installing the update.

To enhance the installing process, Google issued a one-stop website on its developer’s website, which includes links of indications for each hardware partner participating in the beta program. However, some of the provided links are not processing, which may be going live through the rest of the day.

Can you leave beta? What’s the catch?

In case you are wondering if you can leave beta if it affected your device with bug problems or resulted in lesser battery life, then the answer is, yes, you can leave beta. But here comes the biggest catch, which says that you will need a factory reset in your phone to move back to Android 11. It is possible that you will be able to use an old backup plan to restore the Android 11 operating system in your phone, but it is also possible that you may lose some data during the process.

Visit the beta website again to leave the beta program, but this time you will need to tap on the Opt-Out button given below your phone. Now you need to wait for few minutes, and then check again on your phone for software update in Settings- System- Advanced- System update, Check for update. The next step will be installing the update, which will process factory reset on your phone. Once you are done, reset your phone from the start, including signing into your Google account.

If you need suggestions before installing the beta, then the best advice is to wait until the final launch of Android 12. Google is working on the final release of the update, which will provide enhanced battery life, and the developers will release upgrade with the compatibility of other devices as well.

An Easy And Quick Way To Scan Documents on Android

How many of you knew about the built-in document scanner feature in Google? I would say very few or none. It is good news for Android users, as the Drive app is preinstalled on the device. Android users can easily scan their documents directly from the device, which replaces the need to download another document scanner application. Users can also install more actual applications for better document editing and scanning experience on the device, and there are many apps available in the market.

From the time of innovating smartphone features with attractive cameras, the mobile app developers started including innovative ways of scanning documents and digitizing documents, especially for those who were a bit beyond the reach of the scanner. Over time, these applications have enhanced the same functions and have included color correction and editing documents. Now, the mobile scanners do look like real ones, and the users with two operating systems, Android and iOS, would not need to download different applications for scanning documents. You can take these two Files apps, and iOS notes are given the features of scanning documents. And the same goes for the Google Drive Android.

Google has given Android users an option to ease their work by introducing the inbuilt scanner and the Drive app and Google account already installed on the phone. You might be wondering about the process, so here it is: to scan a document, you will need to click on the Add icon (+ sign), located in the right corner of the bottom side. Then the ‘Scan’ sign will appear, which will open the camera of the device. After capturing the image of the document, the app will suggest a bar with editing indications, and it will include rotating, color correcting, and cropping. The scan documents are saved in the Drive account by default.

What are the alternatives for Android users?

While other applications offer a lot of options, the Drive’s scanner does not. You can take this, for example, as the app creates problems while capturing the wanted part of the document. It selects the parts automatically, which later results in the part cropped out of the document. The similarities between Stack and Drive are pretty close. The Stack is an external app that Google launched in March, but it offers some options like better organization and tags to add in the scan.

Other than the two scanners of Google, Android users also can install outsider apps in need of scanning documents. You can also use Microsoft Lens, which is pretty popular among other options and is available to use regardless of Microsoft subscription. Microsoft Lens also includes the feature of adjusting borders after scanning the document, which is pretty good.

Along with the regular features available in the device for editing, there are options to utilize digital pen and text tools. However, it stores the document straight in the device, but users of OneDrive can store the scanned document in the cloud.

There is one more popular option for you to take into consideration, which is ‘Adobe Scan.’ It is much similar to the Lens, and it does not need a subscription to operate. The application has excellent features such as editing options, and most importantly, you can clear out the blemishes in the document. The Adobe Scan also offers the features to scan the forms, and also you can fill out the forms via Adobe Acrobat Reader. The application has the feature of capturing the information from business cards and other documents, making it easy for Android users to store helpful information.

AirPods: Its Generations And How To Differentiate Among Them?

Apple has released series of AirPods with the choices like AirPods Max and AirPods Pro.

Apple has undoubtedly established its well-renowned gadgets all over the world throughout the years. The devices like phones, TV, AirPods, and other gadgets have won people’s hearts, as they provide a better user experience. And Apple has introduced five generations of AirPods in three different lineups, which makes it a lot clear about the seriousness that the company presents to enhance consumer wants. The existence of the AirPods has around since the year 2016 and has implied some of the changes to take the lineup of the product onwards.

The demand for wireless earbuds has increased over time, especially as the year 2021 started. At first, it gained criticism about how Apple is slowly innovating everything into wireless with extra charge. AirPods lineup amazingly stands out among other earbuds options. The AirPods do have a disadvantage, as it lacks better audio quality and battery life, but it all fades out, given how well it cooperates with the Apple ecosystem.

AirPods with carrying straps: is it worth buying?

The concept of AirPods started in September 2016 at the time of the launch of first-generation AirPods. The first generation of AirPods earned a lot of appreciation from people and hung around in the market for quite a time. But as soon as AirPods 2 arrived, the AirPods were replaced with the better variant in March 2019. The AirPods 2 are available with two assortments: one with Qi wireless charging and one with a regular charging case. AirPods 2 are still in the hotline with the latest baseline of the company Apple. In the following year, October 2019, Apple launched AirPods Pro. And the AirPods Max was launched in December 2010.

What are the critical differences between Generations of AirPods?

Apple developed some of the criticized features and included longer battery life, a voice activation feature to access Siri, and improved microphone quality and speaker. These improvements mentioned above made first-generation AirPods lose points against AirPods 2, which is also cheaper in comparison. And to compare both versions of the AirPods available in the market, the only difference is, one is offered with a wireless charging case, and the second one lacks in that particular part.

While comparing both the variants AirPods 1 and AirPods 2, things get pretty interesting. However, both offer a pretty similar experience. The AirPods Pro, without any hesitation, offers a better look at the virtual experience. The sound quality is impressive and offers a noise-canceling feature, which comes with ear tips that can be customized and have default wireless charging feature. AirPods Pro also has an IPX4 water/sweat-resistance rating. The upgrades come at a high price that is $249. AirPods Pro is the better choice for consumers to experience.

AirPods Max is considered in the same lineup as AirPods Pro and AirPods. However, each one of them is an entirely different item. AirPods and AirPods Pro are designed as earbuds, whereas AirPods Max is designed as the over-ear headphones. The sound quality is fantastic, along with excellent features and craftsmanship, and comes with $549.

The Eight Best Films To Stream On HBO Max

Most of us didn’t know HBO max even existed before Jack Snyder dropped his cut of Justice League that we all pleaded for and petitioned. You might even call it his home or something that revived HBO Max. But slowly, it is starting to grow on people. They realize HBO max is a more fun place to be than they realized they have more entertaining stuff to enjoy. Now due to the pandemic, it is becoming a place where Warner Bros can drop many bangers in the coming few months. Through theatrical and streaming release plans. These include some of the biggest movies of the year like “In the Heights (June 11)”, “The Suicide Squad (Aug 6)”, “Dune (Oct 1)” and the last one for which we have been waiting for ages the one and only “The Matrix (Dec 22)”. We all you will want to hit the theatres for these movies, and if you get a chance, please do. In the meantime, let us tell you some of the best collections of HBO max originals in the meantime.

Godzilla vs. Kong

Godzilla vs. Kong was just there. You missed it by a whisker. It is no longer available here. Following its March release, it was here for a month and then removed from here now, if you ask me why it is still on the list. To help you remind what other bigger, better things are going to come for their one-month window as part of Warner Media for side-by-side release of streaming service and theatre release. Coming up: In the Heights (June 11), The Suicide Squad (Aug. 6), Dune (Oct. 1), and The Matrix 4 (Dec. 22).

Zack Snyder’s Justice league

We all know this as Snyder cut. This one was for the people who were Zack Snyder fans or liked his film-making style, dark and gritty. The fans who campaigned for Zack to get a second shot at finishing the movie, which he left in the middle due to personal reasons or tragedy. Then stepped in Joss Weldon and completed the movie, but it was a box office failure. Now Snyder cut is released, which is 4 hours long and with scenes and couple of new villains and with a great epilogue. If you like the style of Zack Snyder and his slow-Mo style, please check out the movie.

An American Pickle:

This movie mostly hinges on Seth Rogan and how much you like him. You will be getting a lot of him in this movie, playing two roles of different eras. You can find him first playing Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling Jewish laborer who emigrates to America in 1919. He found a job in a pickle factory, and some things happen here, and he falls into the vat of pickles, and his body is preserved for 100 years and wakes up around 2019 in Brooklyn. This is a good low-key comedy which you can enjoy.

Unpregnant:

This is what we call a gem of a movie. It is available on HBO max, but for how long we don’t know, so you should go and check it out. It has few different stars like HaleyLu Richardson and Barbie Ferreira. They are a buddy duo crossing the states to where their friend veronica (Richardson) can get an abortion. Veronica’s parents refused her abortion. It’s a beautiful journey of 2 friends across states.

Charm City Kings:

In love with motorbikes, this coming-of-age drama is for you. This movie stars a young star and fresh cast, including Jahi Di’Allo Winston as Mouse, a 14-year-old swept up in the biking world of Baltimore, much to his mother’s dismay. This is a beautiful journey, and a good casting cast makes this movie better with good bike action scenes.

The Witches:

Not so eye-pleasing, a more chill movie that you can just watch without thinking anything. The director Robert Zemeckis and Anne Hathaway did their best to bring back Roald Dahl Classic but weren’t so successful. Jahr Kadeem Bruno is a hero in this movie and is converted to a mouse by the wand of Anne Hathaway. Not as good as the original, but you can take a look.

Let Them All Talk:

The name Meryl Streep grab your attention for the movie. She boards a ship with some of her old friends. They inspired her work as she was a novelist, so the tension between them and her was strong. It looks good. Most of the dialogues are improvised. You can watch her story here about how she manages to win them back.

Locked Down:

This is also one of Anne Hathaway’s specials, also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor in a simple rom-com heist. This film is made by Doug Liman. This movie is about a couple joining hands to rob jewelry. The movie was shot in lockdown and also featured the lockdown in its backdrop. You should include this movie in your watch list.

We have provided you the best movies to watch on HBO Max. Hope you find this useful. Thank you for the read.

5 Easy Ways to Stop Spam Texts on Your Android Phone Or iPhone

Unwanted messages are not as annoying as spam calls, but they are very irritating.

Spam messages not only mess up your text inbox but also distract you with nonsense notifications. When you do not need an unlimited text with your cellular plan, you may pay for the junk, and some phones have links to potentially dangerous malware.

Here are the 5 ways by which you can filter the spam messages which are mentioned below:

Do not respond to the unwanted text: There are chances that you are familiar with that way by which valid sources allow you to come out of future text communication by texting “Stop.” Many spammers allow you to stop unwanted text by texting “Stop,” but you should not do it.

When you are sending a reply, any reply which includes STOP to the spammers then they will get a signal that you are actively engaged with your number, and then that will encourage them to send you more messages, and there are chances that your data will be shared with other spammers who are looking for a verified active number for their messages.

Report spammer to your cellular provider: You can directly report to your phone service providers for the unwanted spammers and their spam texts and for the most significant carriers, which includes AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, so you can copy that spam message and send it at 7726.

After that, you will receive a reply which depends on the carrier that may include asking for that mobile number by which spammers come, and there are the chances that this result is not an instant result for you, but it will able to cleaning up the texting ecosystem for everyone.

Filter potential spammers: Most of the phones have a setting to automatically filter the potential spammers by which they will display in the same list where you have essential texts from your known contacts.

In an iPhone, you must open the Settings app, hit “Messages,” and then scroll down; after that, turn on the “Filter Unknown Senders” by switching the button to the right.

In an Android phone, you must open the messaging app and then click on the three-dot icon at the top right of the screen and then; in the drop-down menu, and you must choose “Settings” and then hit “Spam Protection” and in the last turn on “Enable spam protection” by switching the button to the right.

Block specific spammers: When you get spam messages continuously, then you should block that number from the messaging app, and there are the chances that a single spammer uses multiple numbers for sending their spam messages at a single time, so you do not have to count block every individual number of the spammers which may have little effect.

In an iPhone, you must open the spam text and then hit the user icon at the top of the page; after that, hit “Info,” and then on the next page, hit “Info” again; after that, hit “Block this Caller.”

In an Android phone, this process may differ, which depends on your messaging app which you are using, but in general, you can hit the three dots at the top of the message and then select “Block Number” from the drop-down menu.

Use a paid text blocking app: Hopefully, some combination of the above tips may reduce the number of spammers which you receive, and when you need some additional tips, then you can turn on an app designed to block the spam.

An app like RoboKiller is available for both iPhone and Android, and it will reduce the number of spammers you receive in both ways in calling and in text messaging, but this app is not free. RoboKiller has seven days of trials, and then it charges $5 per month or $40 per year.

A Guide to Two Factor Authentication: Two-Part Security Test for Your Online Accounts and Devices

You can never be too careful about your online information. Hackers are becoming more experienced, and although developers continuously come up with new methods to make sites and devices more secure, hackers can still find a way to deal with it. Thus, a single password may not be enough to protect your essential accounts from cybercriminals.

Recently more businesses and services have been adding two-factor authentications as an optional feature for their online login. Several industries need two-factor authentication as a security practice. Most internet security experts say that two-factor authentication is not only essential but a necessary enhancing step for confirming your online security.

What to Know About Two Factor Authentication?

Two-Factor Authentication feature is also known as 2FA or Two-Step Verification. Two-Factor Authentication is a process of confirming your identity by asking you to pass two security tests. It is a way for the site and system to confirm that you log in and not an experienced robot or a hacker.

When you enter your password, you will be asked to pass a second test that will vary depending on the site you are using.

Two-Factor Authentication forces the hackers to come up with solutions to two unique problems at the place of one. It is also continuously evolving because hackers look to come up with solutions to said problems eventually. One early form of Two Factor Authentication was the security question, but years of predictable questions and answers left that method exposed to hackers.

Types of Two Factor Authentication

There are five common types of Two Factor Authentication, and they are mentioned below –

• Text or Voice-Based Two Factor Authentication: In this two-factor authentication will generally prompt you to enter your phone number and choose whether you like to receive a text message or a phone call to have your identity verified and when you are logging in to a multi-use account and once you have done this once and then your preferences will be remembered for next time with your permission.

When you choose a phone call, an automated system will call your number and confirm that you are logging in verbally.

When you choose a text, you will be most likely to send a text with a link that will automatically log in to you and redirect you to the site or app’s landing page. However, some older forms of this feature can send you a text and ask you to send a reply to confirm that you logged in.

• Hardware Tokens: Hardware tokens are one of the oldest forms of two-factor authentication out there, and they are relatively uncommon now because mostly they are expensive, can be lost easily, and still exceptionally secure and not entirely insensitive for the hackers.

A hardware token is a device that creates new codes every 30 seconds. If you want to log into the associated account, you look at the device and, after that, enter the code displayed on it. In the newer versions, you plug the device into your USB port, and it enters the code for you. Where other tokens look to authenticate your identity but hardware tokens sidestep, which issue totally and operating under the assumption that whoever has it is already qualified to enter your system.

• Software Token: Software tokens merge both the best factors of SMS and hardware-based 2FA and remove some significant issues each of the other methods face. Software tokens work the same as hardware tokens as described. Still, in the place of using a physical device to generate a password, software tokens are an application that you install to generate a password automatically.

Software tokens are sometimes attached to specific websites; CAPTCHA is one method that is employed by many sites to confuse robot password hackers with a visual question. However, you can also download and set up your software token application and are an excellent and dependable way to stay secure online. They work when you are using a desktop computer, a smartwatch, or anything in between.

• Push Notifications: When you are logging into a website, then there are chances that you are using what’s called a secure connection; this means that during the time your device and the site are communicating then the site is masking all of the communications involved to make them difficult for hackers to puncture. Push Notification 2FA takes advantage of this secure connection when you are using it, and when you log in, it sends a signal to the server to send a push notification with a unique one-time code to complete your login.

This is an improved form of the SMS-based 2FA outlined earlier. The difference is that it removes the opportunity for publishing scams to benefit unsuspecting users and more essentially stops a man in middle attackers from intercepting login links. The only drawback it is not working in those areas with flecked internet services.

• Biometric: Biometric is an even more secure way to confirm your identity than any 2FA method. People have been using it since there were computers, and we did not figure out how to use it digitally until recently.

When you used it as a sci-fi trope and are associated with top-secret access, then fingerprint scanners can be found on several devices people use every day, such as phones and laptops and in other forms of biometric identification. It is a method of confirming your identity using factors unique to your biology, most notably facial recognition.

Some organizations importantly apps on our phone that deal with money like PayPal or another virtual banking app you may use. They already use two-factor authentication in a sense. If you have a phone and that allows you for fingerprint or facial recognition, these apps work with its software to store your username and password in your device and have the device fill it in for you as long as it remembers you.

Why is Two Factor Authentication Important?

Two-Factor Authentication has become an increasingly essential security measure as hackers and hacking systems have become more experienced over time; in fact, advanced hackers can easily use an unlocked account to unlock many accounts.

Nowadays, hackers are not just sitting at the computer typing away, hoping and guessing at random numbers and letters. Still, they have algorithmic programs that tests hundreds of common patterns and combinations in seconds. When these machines have not guessed your specific username or password, then it is most likely perfect luck, and when one password has been guessed, then there are chances that they will be able to use that combo to hack into other common sites as well.
