Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “5 ways you’re using your Smartphone wrong.”.
This video will change how you use your phone. We’Ve got five very surprising things that nobody’s going to realize they’re doing wrong until they’ve been corrected. I’M saving the best for last so make sure you stick around until the end. We all have a problem with alarms.
They take a lot of time to wake a served, and sometimes, in fact often times before you know it you’ve snooze through the entire five alarms you set for any morning right. What I’m gon na tell you next is gon na catch. You off guard, because what you have to do is to set an alarm to say a recording of your name. Your brain has been biologically wired to respond to this name, having done so subconsciously for many years in the past. This works, trust me so use a voice recorder and either record yourself, saying your name or for a slightly less creepy effect, get someone else to do it. For you.
Alright, the number of times I see people unlocking their phone flicking a few pages only to open one application and then turn their phone off is uncountable. Almost all of us will have apps that we check many times per day, and so every second you save in this process starts to add up very quickly. What you should really try and do to minimize this time is to either place all the apps that you regularly use together in one folder on your home screen or even better just directly on the home screen, and this is going to minimize the number of interactions Needed in order to open them, saving time saving battery and yes, this is a small amount, but it will grow to be significant. Most of the time people use their voice, assistance that is Siri Cortana Google assistant. Their phone is on a flat surface somewhere at 4 or 5 meters away, and in these cases you just do not want to reach for the phone, and I write what a time to be here live now, that’s all well and good, but at the same time Most people initially train their assistant when they are holding their phone in their hand and in both of these situations, whether you’re holding a phone or it’s flat on a surface, your microphone is gon na perceive your sound very differently.
So if you are finding that your voice assistant isn’t doing a very good job of picking up your voice, it’s very possible that you trained it in one scenario and you’re, actually using it in another. One so simply hit the settings and select retrain. And this time do so, while your phone is lying flat, I’m not an easy person to annoy, but something that really does get to me is whether you’re on Android or whether you’re on iOS, using apps again and again, you’ll constantly be asked to review them. And you don’t have time to sit there right and reviews for every single app you download, so you select no thank you only to then launch the app again and face the same message all over again, so you actually need to do which sounds a little bit.
Counterintuitive is to select okay, which will then leave the application. Take you to the App Store or the Play Store, but it will signal to the application that you’ve left the review and 99 % of the time they will never bother you again. Fingerprint scanners are great. They are constantly improving, both in terms of speed and security, but even the very best often fail to recognize your finger.
What is often happening here is that, even though you register different parts of your finger, you’re only doing so from one particular grip using the phone in different grip can sometimes change which parts of your finger are in contact with the scanner, meaning that the scanner will Still not pick up your print, so in order to reduce the number of times this happens, you’ve got a register the same finger multiple times in each of the different grips you might be. Holding your phone in this gives your phone more information about your finger. In all of the different possible scenarios, it might encounter it in so, even if, when you are swiping a finger across it, your fingerprint doesn’t quite match up with finger number one saved on your phone. It might very well match up with finger number two or finger number three, alright. So as a little bit of a bonus, I’ve got another quick one which I think you’ll really like the number of times. I have to type out.
My emails addresses phone numbers on my phone is immense, a few times a day, and it’s not a fast process to use a keyboard shortcut. This can be done in iOS settings and just about every single Android keyboard, the way to normally configure it is to head to the personal dictionary setting and create a word shortcut and once setup you could be typing in as little as two letters and it could Trigger your entire email address to be put in its place, so this is definitely a real time-saver.
