You can back up content, data, and settings from your phone to your Google Account. You can restore your backed up information to the original phone or to some other Android phones. You can't use back up when you set up a personal device with a work profile or for work only, or when you set up a company-owned device.
Backups are uploaded to Google servers and they're encrypted with your Google Account password. For some data, your phone's screen lock PIN, pattern, or password is also used to encrypt your data so it can be backed up safely.
Your photos and videos are already available in Google Photos. But you can restore the rest of the data you backed up while you set up your new phone for the first time or after a factory reset. At setup, to restore your data, follow the on-screen steps.
You can change your settings for the Google app, including settings for voice search, past searches, SafeSearch, and notifications. Some Google app settings are based on your device settings, like dark theme.
If Android Emergency Location Service (ELS) works in your country or region and on your mobile network, and you haven't turned ELS off, your phone will automatically send its location to first responders through ELS. If ELS is off, your mobile carrier might still send the device's location during an emergency call or text.
Use your favorite apps, respond to texts, make calls, view photos, and more in the Phone Link . After approving permissions to allow access to your phone, you can use your favorite apps, respond to texts, make calls, view photos, and more on your Windows PC. If you allow syncing contacts from your phone with your Microsoft account, you can enjoy seamless access to your phone-synced contact data on other Microsoft apps and services.
Notification permission allows data transfer and notification sending between your devices, which lays the foundation for cross-device features. By giving permissions, you can use your Android device on your PC with phone photo management, notification management and App usage (where it is supported).
After successfully pairing your device via Bluetooth, you will need to enable these three settings on your iPhone in order to access all available features. Some features require multiple permissions in order to be fully functional.
Uptodown is a multi-platform app store specialized in Android. Our goal is to provide free and open access to a large catalog of apps without restrictions, while providing a legal distribution platform accessible from any browser, and also through its official native app.
Does anyone knows if there is a way to add a link to the phone menu settings from a mobile web app html page? Just like native apps (Android, iPhone), when the app requires the location to be enabled, most app have a link that goes directly to the phone settings screen, thanks.
My question is related exclusively to a mobile web app. To clarify, when I said MOBILE WEB APP, I am basically saying an HTML WEBSITE running from a mobile web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc... This question is not related to native apps. I have read about deep linking and perhaps there is a way to use deep linking to link to the actual phone and not just to apps.
Simple answer no a html 5 page can not fire the device to open it's settings. That would cause a security concern. As you could open a webpage and that page could simple take control of your device and pop the settings dialog on your device - not pretty!
Launching to the Settings app is an important part of writing a privacy-aware app. If your app can't access a sensitive resource, we recommend providing the user a convenient link to the privacy settings for that resource. For more info, see Guidelines for privacy-aware apps.
Alternatively, your app can call the LaunchUriAsync method to launch the Settings app. This example shows how to launch to the privacy settings page for the camera using the ms-settings:privacy-webcam URI.
I just upgraded from my Galaxy S8 to a Galaxy 22+. Although this worked on my S8, my 22+ does not require a password to access the phone's "settings" function (such as when pressing the gear icon on the phone). Happily, App Lock does protect all of my other designated apps, and also protects some but not all of the individual functions in the settings function. For example, it does require a PIN for "Modes and Routines" and "Themes", but not others, such as "Apps" [which is critical] and "Connections". How can I make App Lock require a PIN to access the entire "Settings" page (which I tried to enable, but it did not work) or otherwise protect my "Apps" and other currently unprotected functions on the Settings page? Thank you!
The App Lock app should not only work for specific settings sections within the Android Settings. It should be all or nothing. Try disabling the Settings protection and restart your device. Then turn on the Settings protection again and test.
Thank you for all your help. I did call back and got a different person. After a lot of work, including let her access my phone remotely, she told me that App Lock cannot block access to my phone's settings page. That is weird because it did just that on my prior Android phone. I am now thing of giving up and switching to, e.g. AppLock by Ivy Mobile.
Samsung has always had proprietary changes to their version of the Android OS. These can sometimes cause issues with apps that are designed for the 'official' Android releases. Generally if this is the case there is nothing that Norton can do to work around those changes. And they are not going to use their limited resources to develop multiple versions of an app to satisfy a few non standard OS versions.
App Hider
The customizable App Hider lets you hide apps on your Android and manage them from different accounts on your device. The app-hider icon is even disguised as a calculator.
The Guest Mode feature included in many Android phones lets you share your device with another person, while hiding apps and sensitive data saved on your personal profile. Search for guest user in Settings to set up the guest account and switch between your personal and guest profiles.
All of your previously hidden or disabled Android apps appear when you open Settings and tap Apps. Make sure to clean your Android to remove junk apps, and to search for any apps you want to unhide and use again.
