After pur­chas­ing a new phone, many users do not both­er with the ini­tial set­tings. How­ev­er, if you make some changes to the smart­phone, then in the future you can avoid a lot of prob­lems.

Link to Google account

Imme­di­ate­ly after turn­ing on the mobile, the user will see a wel­come mes­sage. It will ask you to con­nect to the Google record. You can do it right away, or you can go through the pro­ce­dure lat­er. It is enough to enter the set­tings, click on the “Accounts” tab, then add your Google pro­file. To do this, you just need to enter a name and pass­word.

Running an update

It is not known for cer­tain how long the device was in the ware­house and on the counter. The firmware ver­sions may be out of date. There­fore, it is rec­om­mend­ed to update the sys­tem in any case. This step also goes through the options.

Activate “Search for device”

This fea­ture will be use­ful if you lose your smart­phone. By turn­ing it on, it will be eas­i­er for the own­er to find the loss. In the set­tings, you need to click on the “Google” sec­tion, then the “Secu­ri­ty” but­ton. The phone’s loca­tion should appear on the map.

lock setting

In the secu­ri­ty menu, select the type of device block­ing. On mod­ern Androids, the fol­low­ing meth­ods are offered: fin­ger­print, PIN code, char­ac­ter pass­word, pat­tern, scan­ning the own­er’s face.

Enable smart lock

Some­times there is no need for mobile secu­ri­ty, or con­stant unlock­ing is annoy­ing. For such cas­es, the devel­op­ers have cre­at­ed an aux­il­iary func­tion that dis­ables pro­tec­tion when a per­son is at home. And also the block is removed when there is anoth­er host equip­ment with Blue­tooth near­by.

Time for silent mode

If you do not want the phone to dis­turb the user at cer­tain hours, then you can set a spe­cial sched­ule. Then the sound will auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn off (and turn on) at a spe­cif­ic time.

Ok Google connection

In order to acti­vate the voice assis­tant, you should go to the Google options and select the “Assis­tant” ser­vice. The “Phone” but­ton will appear at the bot­tom, by click­ing on it, the user will see the “Voice Match” sec­tion. With it, the con­nec­tion will take place. This is con­ve­nient when a per­son is busy and there is no way to give a com­mand with his hands.

Setting up photo sync

The order in the Gallery will be pro­vid­ed by the Google Pho­tos pro­gram. One has only to allow the load­ing and sav­ing of images. It is also advised to set the qual­i­ty of the desired pho­tos.

Installing useful apps

Default pro­grams are not always enough for com­fort­able use of a smart­phone. There­fore, it is nec­es­sary to down­load addi­tion­al appli­ca­tions accord­ing to indi­vid­ual pref­er­ences.

Selecting default programs

Among all the browsers, play­ers, games, social net­works, email clients and oth­er things on the device, you need to choose those that the own­er will need most often. To do this, they should only be marked in the “Default Appli­ca­tions” item.

Savings restrictions

As a rule, in the Android sys­tem, mobile Inter­net traf­fic is spent much faster than in its coun­ter­parts. There­fore, it is advis­able to set a lim­it on the amount of spend­ing megabytes per month in advance. This is done in the net­work set­tings under the “Data trans­fer” tab.

Arrangement of the home screen

The last impor­tant step will be the rearrange­ment on the desk­top. The pro­ce­dure depends on the user’s pref­er­ences. Some­one likes to keep all the fold­ers on the main page of the dis­play, oth­ers find it con­ve­nient to sort them the­mat­i­cal­ly. The same goes for wall­pa­pers.

By adher­ing to these sim­ple rec­om­men­da­tions, the own­er of Android will find a good device with high qual­i­ty work. After doing all 12 oper­a­tions, it will be more pleas­ant and more con­ve­nient to work with the phone. Plus, it will last much longer.
