Those of us who like technology have few pleasures greater than that of brand new a new gadget. And if it is a mobile, an inseparable companion of our day to day, better than better. In this special we are going to recommend you what you should (or, rather, you should, we do not force anyone here) as soon as you release your new mobile phone.
Make a video of the unpacking
Yes, you read correctly, a video of the unpacking. An unboxing, come on. And because? Imagine you order a mobile on Aliexpress. Or in any other store, but if it is a Chinese with more reason. You open the package with all your illusion and, oh, surprise, the mobile has a broken screen. Either it doesn't come with a charger (make sure it does) or, for whatever reason, something doesn't add up. Even, in the worst case, it comes full of stones or with another model that is not the one you bought. Do you understand now why recording the unpacking of your mobile? If something strange happens with your order, you already have a test video in which it is seen, very clearly, that you are not responsible for its damages or absences.
Make sure you have your Google credentials handy
Yes, your mobile can work perfectly without having a Google account associated with it. Now, forget about having YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Photos, the contacts associated with the email account… this is so: Google services make life much easier and if our phone is Android we will have no choice but to link our account Google.
Be careful with having activated double verification on your phone. When entering and entering the password, it will ask you for a code to make sure that it is you. That code is sent to your phone or it is communicated to you through a call. Now, how are we going to receive a call or a message if we have not started the phone yet? For this, it would be good if you had your account associated with another Android terminal (a second mobile or a tablet) or have a trusted phone number to send the code to. This will make sure you don't have any problems.
And what do I do with the drums, how do I act?
Look at the percentage of cargo it brings. Less than 25%? put it to charge. More than 25?% Use it. As a general rule, and for a battery to last longer, it is better not to charge it more than 80% and to lower it more than 25%. But honestly, for a couple of years or three on average that we use the mobile before we throw it away, do we need to be obsessed with battery life? Use it, load it and download it whenever you want. Even when it is the first time you are with the mobile. Enjoy period.
Make sure to update the new versions of the operating system
A mobile updated to its latest version ensures that you are protected. Most malware, both mobile and PC, takes advantage of security holes in operating systems, holes that are covered by different updates. In addition, you would be providing yourself with all the latest that the brand has for your phone. Enter the system section of your phone and make sure
Download and install 'Find my device'
Head over to this link and download one of the best applications you can have on your device if it is lost or stolen. Thanks to this utility, we will be able to know where our mobile is (for that we must have had the GPS activated in the lost or stolen terminal), make it ring loud to locate it better or, directly, to block and erase its content remotely, if it already is. you have given up for lost. Here's an extensive guide to setting up this handy security tool.
