I’m tired of the erratic fingerprint unlock on my Google Pixel 9 phone. I’m running Android 15 and I’ve even deleted and re-added my finger more than once. Instead, I’d like to try Face Unlock. How do I set that up?
If you’ve ever walked outside just to be surprised by the weather, you are a prime candidate for weather alerts on your android phone. This is a new feature so let’s have a look at how to set it up.
I frequently use my Android phone and tablet on public wifi networks. I have ExpressVPN for my PC and am wondering if I can use that for more privacy and security on my Android devices too? If so, can I add a handy shortcut too?
Dave, I saw you wrote about how Apple’s AI (sorry, I can’t make myself call it “Apple Intelligence”) helps people compose coherent email from their iPhones. Excellent. How about us Android users with Gmail. Do we have an AI assistant that can help us write more professionally?
One of the most interesting features in Android 15 is support for what’s called “Private Space”. It’s a way that you can give certain applications extra security so that even if someone can access your phone, they can’t launch the app. Neat. Here’s how to set it up and how it works…
I have heard that with the upgrade to Android 14, I can now generate AI wallpapers directly on my Pixel phone. Excellent! How do I get started, though, and can I create any image I can imagine?
Hi Dave! I wake up early and would like to be able to send text messages to friends and colleagues, but defer the sending so they don’t tease me about the fact that I get up at 4:30am every morning. Is there any way to do that on my phone? Thanks!
I woke up earlier than usual and when I checked for messages and email on my Android phone, I was disturbed to find that all the color had been removed from my screen. Is this just a nighttime thing with Android now? What was I seeing? I’ll note that now it’s daytime everything’s back to normal…
Hi Dave. I saw that a few weeks ago you wrote about how to use an iPhone as a wifi hotspot but I’m an Android person. Can I use my Pixel phone as an Internet hotspot too?
Dave! I just got a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and I just love this thing. So cool! But… I’m used to being able to shut down my phone by pressing the side button. Can I change it to do that rather than launch Bixby?
