Adding a security pattern is the first thing you should do before you start using your new mobile device with operating system Android, since that way no one will be able to access the personal information that you store on your cell phone, however, there are some security patterns that are very easy to decipher, such as: the popular house or the letters of the alphabet or initial of your name. On this occasion, from Depor we will offer you a series of recommendations so that nobody is able to guess your pattern.
If you follow each point of the recommendations that we have compiled for you, then your pattern will be indecipherable, no one will be able to access your images, videos, Word, Excel, PDF documents, etc., in short, your multimedia files will be protected.
Recommendations for creating a hard-to-guess security pattern
- Do not use a letter or number: As we said at the beginning, these are the most common patterns among users of AndroidLikewise, it is the one that cybercriminals use the most when they try to unlock your smartphone, this when it has been infected by a malware virus. Also, if you are one of the people who never cleans the mobile screen when you enter your pattern repeatedly, this trace could be seen against the light.
- Cross the lines of your pattern: It’s harder to try to guess an unlock pattern if you cross the lines, for example: guessing a house is easier than guessing a star. Even if it takes you a little longer to unlock it or you make a mistake on the first try, without a doubt the information on your smartphone will be safe.
- Try to use all nodes: Occupy all 9 nodes or points in your security pattern, so it will be harder to guess. Remember that you only have a maximum of three attempts, in case the person who wants to unlock your mobile phone fails, they can try again after one minute, if the same thing happens, they will do it in 10, 20, etc.
- Avoid starting from the top: It is recommended that you start the unlock pattern from the bottom center area or from the center right part.
How to extend the battery life of your Android phone
We explain what to do to make your phone’s battery last much longer.
- Activate battery saving mode: This option limits certain functions to reduce power consumption. To do this, go to the settings of your device and look for the option “Battery” or “Battery saver” to enable it.
- Reduce the brightness of the screen: the screen light is one of the elements that consumes the most energy in a mobile device, for this, you must decrease its intensity to save battery significantly. Go into the display settings and adjust the brightness, according to your preferences.
- Control apps in the background: If you have apps running in the background, they can consume too much power even when you’re not using them. To disable this option, go to “Settings” and look for the option “Applications” or “Application Manager” and close those you don’t need.
- Turn off connectivity features: If you’re not using a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS connection, it’s best to disable them, as they consume too much power even when you haven’t accessed them.
- Limit automatic alerts and synchronizations: go to “Settings” and tap on “Accounts” or “Sync”. Here you can turn off auto-syncing of apps you don’t need and limit notifications from apps that aren’t a priority.
Please note that battery life may vary depending on the device and how you use it. These tricks will help you maximize the duration of this element as long as you reduce the consumption of apps and other functions.
