How to reset your Android smartphone before you sell it

Buying a new smartphone is something that gets everyone excited. While doing enough research to buy the right offering based on our requirements is very essential, it is equally important to be sure that our old handset does not have any data. In most cases, people either choose to sell their old smartphones for a lesser value, give it to someone known for using it or use it for getting a good exchange offer on their new device. Whatever the case might be with you, you don’t want the new owner of your old smartphone to have access to your data. To make sure that they don’t, you need to reset your Android smartphone to its factory conditions before you give it away.

Although the process is a very simple one, an alarming number of people do not know how to do it. Here, we are stating all the steps that you need to follow in order to rest your Android smartphone to its factory settings. While the steps are written for Pixel 3a handset, they should be more or less the same for any other Android smartphone. Before you reset your device you must take a backup of all your data or transfer it to your new smartphone. Once your old Android smartphone has been reset to its factory conditions, there will be no way of retrieving the lost data.

Once you are ready though, you need to follow these steps to reset your Android smartphone to its factory condition:

  • Go to Settings.
  • Head to System > Advanced > Reset options.
  • You will now see three options: ‘Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth’, ‘Reset app preferences’ and ‘Erase all data (factory reset)’. Choose ‘Erase all data (factory reset)’ in order to delete all the data from your Android smartphone.
  • Once you choose the option, you will get a warning that all the data from your smartphone will be deleted and your accounts will be removed from the device too. Select the option of ‘Reset phone’ to go ahead with it.

clean smartphones

  • In case you have set a password on your device, you will be asked to enter that too.
  • You will then be asked again if you are sure you want to delete everything. Here, just press the option of ‘Erase everything’.
  • Once you do this, it will take two or three to reset your Android device to its factory settings.

Mr. Lau announced this news on the OnePlus forums that say, “I have a very exciting announcement to share with you – the OnePlus TV is set to launch in September, and it will be available in India first.”

In the blog, he stated that the company is working hard to establish partnerships with most of the local and regional content providers in countries like North America, Europe and China regions.

“We all know, “content is king,” which remains one of the major reasons for television’s continued relevance in our lives. Yet, the content ecosystem is quite different from one country to another. We have always had a very positive relationship with content providers in India, who have always been willing to partner with us, which guarantees great content for our users.”

Google removed 27 fake apps, identified by quick Heal

Google removed 27 fake apps, identified by quick Heal

IT security solutions provider Quick Heal Security Lab discovered 27 malicious apps of dropper category on the official “Google Play Store”. When reported, Google removed them from the Play Store that encouraged the users to uninstall them on their devices, too. According to the security provider, these 27 apps always show installation prompt for fake “Google Play Store”.

If the user installs the fake app then their phone gets infected by an Adware. The parent apps launch dropped apps without the need for the user’s permission. In the beginning, the app will show a few wallpapers later it hides its icon so that the users could not identify which app is showing the advertisements.

Inadvertently the user uninstalls the parent app, but it will continue to show full screen adds at random.

According to Quick Heal, “These Apps were published by the same developer with name “AFAD Drift Racer”. All these apps belong to the free Car Racing Games category.”

After the user installs the app it will constantly display an installation prompt of fake Google Play Store that asks the user to install Google Play Store for gaming purpose. If the user terminates the installation prompt it will again pop-up endlessly until the user installs the app. But as a matter of fact, for gaming purposes Google Play Games is necessary. If any game is not supported by the latest version of Google Play Games, then there is a pop-up to update “Google Play Games” therefore passing the security protocol is important. Actually, Google Play Games by no means downloads itself nor does it show a pop-up for installation.

“After installing the fake Google Play Store app, we can see it for a few seconds and then it automatically hides its icon. The app keeps on running in the background and shows full-screen ads till you don’t uninstall it manually. Showing aggressive ads and making money from them is a monetization concept used by malware authors. In this case, even if the user is not using the app, still full-screen ads are shown. This not only degrades user experience but also wastes his time.”

Quick Heal Mobile Security notices these apps by detection the name “Android.Dropper.F” and the dropped apps by detection name “Android.HiddenAd.A”.

The user can also check if a fake Google Play Store is installed on their phone by following these steps:

  • Go to Setting-> Apps & notifications OR Settings -> App Manager. This would change as per your Phone Manufacturer.
  • Identify fake Google Play Store as shown below. Genuine Google Play Store app can never be uninstalled and shows the option of disable instead.
  • If such a Google Play Store app is found on your phone, you should Uninstall it immediately.

How to stay safe from fake mobile apps

1. Check an app’s description before you download it.
2. Check the app developer’s name and their website. If the name sounds strange or odd, you have all the reasons to suspect it.
3. Go through the reviews and ratings of the app. But, note that these can also be faked.
4. Avoid downloading apps from third-party app stores.
5. Use a reliable mobile antivirus that can prevent fake and malicious apps from getting installed on your phone.

New Apple Watch could be launched in titanium and ceramic casing as well along with the new iPhone

As the launch of the Apple iPhone 11 is coming closer, more and more leaks and rumours are pouring in. Alongside the 2019 iPhone series of smartphone, the company is also planning to launch a few more products.

As we all know that some reports have emerged online suggesting the launch date of the upcoming device. Based on some screenshots it is expected that that company will be launching the Apple iPhone 11 line up on September 10, 2019.

Now ahead of its launch, other details about the new Apple Watch models have surfaced on the web. According to a report that was also the first one to report the launch date of the devices now claims that it has found the reference of the Apple Watch within the watchOS 6 operating system. The online portal claims that the operating system of the watchOS 6 is also under testing hence confirms the existence of the new ceramic and titanium watch models.

It suggests that the new Apple Watch will be launched in two casings, titanium as well as ceramic. The upgraded version of the watch will arrive in 40mm along with 44mm sizes similar to the Apple Watch Series 4.

Those who are unaware, Apple Watch Series 4 never had a model made of titanium while ceramic casing. The company only offered the ceramic casing for Series 2 and Series 3 watches with premium price tags and only two black and white colour options.  Both the materials will be used in the new Apple Watch Series casing, now. The titanium variant looks similar to the Apple Card that the company is rolling out this month.

The report said,  “Apple Watch has never had a model made of titanium, and the Apple Watch Series 4 (currently the only one with the 44mm size case) has no ceramic version. The new materials will also be available in 40mm size.”

However, it is still not clear that the new variants will join the Apple Watch Series 4 lineup or it will be a part of rumoured new Apple Watch Series 5.

To recall, Apple launched the Watch Series 4 last year in September so it is pretty much clear that the company will be launching the new series of watches along with the iPhone 11 this September 10.
