Welcome. In front of me, I have an
0:04
Infinex Note 60. And today, I'll show
0:07
you how can go through the setup process
0:09
of this device.
0:17
So, when you boot up your device for the
0:20
very first time, you should be presented
0:21
with the same screen that you can see on
0:23
my end, which is our setup page. We're
0:26
going to click on the sorry, we're going
0:28
to click on the arrow. And in here we're
0:30
gonna find our desired language. Uh now
0:32
it does show region or languages that
0:35
you're also in a region of like Polish
0:37
for instance right here. But I'm
0:39
actually going to select English right
0:42
here. United States. Now the specific
0:45
region right here doesn't really matter
0:46
of the English. It doesn't really change
0:48
how like what is written and we actually
0:53
have the region selection on the next
0:54
page anyway. Now in here I would maybe
0:56
recommend choosing some region that is
0:58
part of European Union could be
1:00
potentially completely baseless idea
1:03
here but if it is here you don't lose
1:06
anything from it and if it's it's
1:09
actually not
1:11
then you might actually gain something
1:12
from it in the future. So reason for
1:15
selecting some kind of country from
1:16
European Union is because European Union
1:18
is a little bit more consumer friendly
1:20
as long as it doesn't come to to stop
1:23
killing games and then you know their
1:25
pockets get filled but whatever. Um so
1:29
for purposes of being more consumer
1:31
friendly they do come out often with
1:33
laws that corporations don't really
1:35
like. Now US is exactly opposite. They
1:37
will screw you over in hopes that
1:39
corporations can make a buck. uh here
1:42
it's a little bit different and in case
1:45
that European Union ever steps on the
1:48
toes of corporations so much that the
1:50
corporation decides to um comply only in
1:54
this region and not changes globally or
1:56
basically cease to do operations in here
1:58
they still will need to change it
2:01
that's inevitable
2:03
um so at that point usually like I said
2:06
those are consumer friendly changes so
2:08
it means that if you are from here you
2:11
could potentially be getting this
2:12
change. As a hypothetical situation,
2:14
let's say that uh Google goes to
2:16
completely lock Android down and only
2:19
allow you to install applications from
2:21
Play Store or apps that have been signed
2:23
by them and European Union starts to
2:25
consider this as a absolutely
2:27
monopolistic behavior and tells Google
2:29
to stop and Google might only in Europe
2:31
but not everywhere else. And in this
2:33
case, if you select that you're from
2:35
Poland as an example, you may be able to
2:38
install applications from anywhere that
2:40
you want, no matter if they're signed or
2:41
not, unlike what Google would want you
2:43
to to be able to do. So, that's kind of
2:46
where it what it boils down to. But like
2:48
I said, this could be completely
2:49
baseless and we don't really have
2:51
anything right now to check this with if
2:53
if it ever will work. Anyway, moving on,
2:56
we have terms of use. So, we have terms
2:58
of use right here and privacy policy.
3:00
You can read both of them and it's
3:02
probably recommended to do so. But if
3:04
you don't, don't worry. No one does. We
3:06
just check the box right here and move
3:08
on.
3:10
And then we get the setup using another
3:12
device. Let me bring up another device.
3:14
And you can see on another device, you
3:15
get pop-up like this. Setup new device.
3:18
And I can click on setup. And what it
3:20
would uh tell me to do is I believe this
3:24
device would get the single number
3:26
visible. Let's say 69. Nice. uh and the
3:30
other phone the one that is uh that had
3:32
that popup it would have something like
3:33
126972
3:35
for instance right and what I need to do
3:37
is just select uh what the number that I
3:39
can see here I need to select it from
3:40
the three numbers on the other device
3:42
once I do so I might also need to
3:44
confirm the screen lock that is on that
3:45
other phone and it will then move all
3:48
the data such as uh primarily Google
3:50
accounts and everything that is assigned
3:52
with Google accounts so contacts photos
3:54
applications it's a honestly great way
3:57
to just quickly move all of your
3:59
accounts without ever needing to sign
4:00
into them. If they're signed in on that
4:02
device, they get moved here without you
4:04
ever needing to put in a password for
4:06
them. All you need to do is just do that
4:07
number matching and screen lock and
4:09
you're good to go.
4:11
Moving on, we have insert SIM.
4:14
I do have it taken out, but um this is
4:17
not a mandatory step. You can completely
4:19
skip this if you want to.
4:21
Next, we have connect to Wi-Fi. And
4:24
again, this is optional. You don't need
4:26
to connect to network if you don't want
4:27
to. So, I'll be skipping it. Now, at
4:31
this moment, the device is being set up
4:32
in what could be considered offline
4:34
mode. I neither have SIM card in here
4:36
nor connection to Wi-Fi. And this could
4:38
result in number one, the phone uh
4:40
setting up incorrect uh date and time,
4:42
which it might actually show up a page
4:44
for for me to fix. If I connected to any
4:46
kind of network, it would completely
4:48
skip that page. I won't be able to sign
4:50
into Google account, restore apps and
4:52
data, and get software updates. This
4:54
only applies to setup. And after this
4:56
wrap has been completed, you cannot
4:57
change all of these things in the
5:00
settings. Now moving to what we have
5:02
right now visible, we have unlocking
5:04
method. We have three different methods.
5:06
So we have fingerprint, face recognition
5:08
and on the password we have pin pattern
5:10
or password. Now, for the first two
5:12
options, which are biometrics, you will
5:14
always need to select pin pattern or
5:16
password, as biometrics aren't 100%
5:19
reliable. And in times where they just
5:21
fail to unlock your device for some
5:23
random reason, maybe because you get a
5:25
tiny little blemish on your face or your
5:27
finger, you can always rely on that pin
5:29
pattern password, which doesn't care
5:30
about those blemishes.
5:33
Now, also do recommend at least setting
5:35
pin, pattern, or password on your
5:36
device. You don't need to do that
5:37
biometrics, but set something like a pin
5:39
at least. Uh reason for that is if you
5:41
are ever to lose your device, obviously
5:43
it stores all of your personal
5:44
information. So whoever finds it, it
5:46
would be nice for you that they don't
5:48
have access to for instance all of your
5:50
photos. Let's say uh whatever those
5:52
photos might be. Now additional benefit
5:55
is typically you will also have your
5:57
phone signed into a Google account
5:59
typically. I'm not saying that everyone
6:03
that is watching this video might, but a
6:05
lot of people will. And in this case, if
6:07
you were to lose your device and someone
6:09
finds it and is being a little and
6:12
doesn't want to give it back because,
6:14
hey, they found it fair and square, um,
6:16
at least you can take revish and the in
6:19
and the fact that this obnoxious little
6:22
uh, the waste of oxygen that is
6:25
keeping your phone because they found it
6:26
and you have no idea who that is. Well,
6:28
they won't be able to use it because you
6:30
have screen lock and you have Google
6:32
account. They don't know the screen
6:34
lock. So, their next best course of
6:37
action would be to reset the phone.
6:39
Sucks for you because you're going to
6:40
lose data. But you can take joy in the
6:43
fact that you know that they won't be
6:45
able to use it anyway because once they
6:46
reset it, now they even in deeper
6:48
because now the phone is telling them,
6:50
"Oh, throughout the setup, um, you know,
6:52
connect to network. Once you connect to
6:54
it, um, you know what? Verify that it's
6:56
really you. Provide us with either
6:58
screen lock or the Google account that
7:00
was signed in. If you can't do either
7:01
one of those, well, you can't really
7:03
finish up the setup. Therefore, you
7:05
can't really use the phone. So, you get
7:08
a little bit of a, you know, last laugh,
7:10
I guess. Um, anyway,
7:14
like I said, do as I do, not as I say.
7:17
Sorry,
7:19
the other way around. Do do as I say,
7:21
not as I do. This is a work phone. Um,
7:24
so I'm not really setting up screen
7:25
locks here, but I would recommend you
7:27
do. Moving on, we have Google services.
7:30
Now, I'm going to spend a little bit of
7:31
time ranting about this crap right here,
7:33
just so you're aware of what we're
7:34
dealing here. If you couldn't give a
7:36
less about your privacy and what
7:38
you're dealing here with, then by all
7:40
means, skip this by several minutes. But
7:42
if you do care, I'll be going a lot in
7:44
depth into this and talking about this
7:46
and what these actually mean for you.
7:49
So, let's start off with the location.
7:51
Uh, quick little description. I'm not
7:54
going to read the entire thing. Allows
7:55
apps and services with a with a location
7:58
permissions to use your devices
7:59
location. Location accuracy uses
8:00
informations about wireless signals such
8:02
as Wi-Fi access points, cellular network
8:05
towers, and GPS. That's really all that
8:08
matters. By turning that off, it doesn't
8:10
mean that your phone no longer uses uh
8:12
connections to Wi-Fi, GPS, and stuff
8:13
like that, and it's being tracked. It
8:14
just prevents applications and services
8:16
from being able to supposedly utilize
8:18
this. I'm saying supposedly because it
8:20
doesn't mean Um it doesn't also
8:23
prevent Google from accessing this
8:25
information because Google is in the
8:26
business of getting your information and
8:27
selling it. they don't consider
8:30
themselves to be a service or an app.
8:33
It's more like an operating system. So,
8:37
uh that's one one problem. And number
8:38
two, you have creepy pucks like
8:40
Zuckerberg which looks at this kind of
8:43
thing. You tell them not to do something
8:45
and he's supposed to be legally binded
8:47
by this and he's looking at it as a
8:49
general guideline and goes like, "Eh,
8:51
screw that. I'm still going to get your
8:53
data." Uh, and now he's in class action
8:55
lawsuit. Get loser. Um, so obviously I
9:01
would basically like that regardless
9:03
what your idea here is because when
9:05
creepy motheruckers like Zach uh decide
9:08
to disregard what you told them to do
9:11
and completely intrude on your privacy,
9:13
at least you can know that when they're
9:15
taken to court and class action
9:16
lawsuits, you can get a little bit of
9:17
money from them. You can flee them just
9:19
a little bit.
9:21
Now moving on we have allow scanning
9:23
which automatically gets turned off
9:25
along with the location
9:27
just to show this again you can see
9:29
there we go now allow scanning allows
9:31
apps and services uh to scan for Wi-Fi
9:33
network and nearby devices at any time
9:36
even when Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is off
9:38
which is the most important part which
9:40
means that your phone even though you
9:41
supposedly turned off your Wi-Fi or
9:43
Bluetooth never actually turned it off
9:45
it just pretends that it's off and
9:47
additionally it again just like before
9:49
it prevents apps and services not the
9:51
phone itself from um scanning for this
9:54
and furthermore doesn't prevent other
9:56
phones and services for scanning for
9:57
your device which uh yeah uh privacy
10:02
right a good joke that we have right
10:04
here. Uh moving on we have uh send user
10:06
and diagnostic data. Uh this turn that
10:09
off. It's basically Google wanting your
10:10
data so they can monetize it and sell
10:12
it. Uh so help improve your Android
10:14
device experience by automatically
10:16
sending diagnostic device and app usage
10:18
data to Google. Uh, no. Just know it's
10:22
in Google's best interest to improve
10:23
their Android experience so you are
10:25
incentivized to buy another Android.
10:27
Otherwise, you can look to the other
10:29
side like Apple. So, it's not on you to
10:34
give away your data that they monetize
10:36
for them to improve something.
10:39
At that point, you paying for that
10:41
improvement with your own data. And
10:42
Google doesn't pay you money for this
10:44
data. So, there's no reason why you
10:45
should be sharing it for free. The
10:47
approach is here. If Google can sell it
10:49
and make money off of it, you should be
10:51
making money off of it, too. After all,
10:53
you're the one generating it. If you're
10:55
not getting paid for it, you shouldn't
10:56
be sharing it. Moving on. Install
10:59
updates and apps. Um, now this one is
11:02
the most uh disgusting one and also the
11:05
one that is written in the most kind of
11:07
bullshitty way and one that doesn't
11:08
really talk about what it actually
11:10
refers to. So uh quickly going uh by
11:13
continuing which automatically starts
11:14
like blackmail uh you agree that this
11:17
device may also automatically download
11:19
and install updates and apps from Google
11:22
uh and your carry blah blah doesn't
11:24
matter rest doesn't matter. So
11:27
um you might be thinking well I can turn
11:31
off system updates and up updates in the
11:34
settings after the setup and yes you can
11:37
but this is not what the setting is
11:38
about. There is a reason why there has
11:40
no toggle right here unlike the ones
11:41
that you have in the settings because
11:43
the ones in the settings actually talk
11:44
about the exact thing as a system update
11:48
or app update.
11:51
This is not talking about this. This is
11:53
insinuating that it's talking about it
11:55
but it it just basically blows smoke up
11:57
your ass. What it actually refers to is
12:00
OT update services. And you might be
12:02
right now scratching your head. What the
12:03
is an OT update service? That's by
12:06
design. Uh what this is actually is
12:09
basically a process running in the
12:11
background of your phone which you don't
12:13
really see normally unless you download
12:14
specific applications to see them. That
12:16
is designed to install security patches
12:19
which is good. Security patches if
12:22
they're not patched obviously could be
12:23
used as a vulnerability to gain info of
12:25
your device and some uh you know uh
12:28
personal information from your phone by
12:29
hackers. So that's that's okay. Uh, but
12:33
what it's also used for is forced
12:35
updates that you never see coming into
12:37
your device.
12:39
They're just going to get installed and
12:40
you had no way of knowing. You probably
12:42
already experienced this at one point or
12:45
another where you open up an application
12:47
one day and it just all of a sudden
12:49
looks different even though the phone
12:51
has never updated. Neither the
12:53
application nor the phone itself but yet
12:56
the application looks different. That's
12:58
OTAA updates for you. And the reason why
13:02
I despise this is because we have
13:04
started seeing this more and more used
13:06
in a nefarious way. So companies started
13:09
using this as a way to change the terms
13:11
of purchase after the purchase. That's
13:13
basically what it allows them to do in
13:14
this case. Uh and we do need to agree to
13:17
it.
13:19
So to give you some examples, Samsung
13:22
was and still is selling smart fridges,
13:25
the ones with a display, you know, so
13:26
you could put your family photos on it,
13:29
make groceries, and all that nice stuff
13:31
that the fridge was initially designed
13:32
for. Well, Samsung looked at it and was
13:35
like, "Whoa, top market. Time to put ads
13:39
on this bitch." And now people that
13:42
bought this fridge year two years ago
13:44
got a forced update that didn't even
13:46
know about. And now they're getting nice
13:48
little uh ad ads on their smart fridge
13:51
because it has a display. So it has
13:53
space for ads. Um so that's great,
13:55
right? $3,000 fridge now is basically as
13:58
good as a piece of You might as
13:59
well never had that display in there to
14:01
begin with because now it's just
14:03
annoying you for $3,000 of your expense.
14:06
So but don't worry, we're not just going
14:08
to talk about fridges because we also
14:09
had other instances from Sony in this
14:12
case. Probably no surprise there when it
14:14
comes on to being a creepy piece of
14:16
company. It must have been Sony, right?
14:18
So, Sony sells their uh Sony Xperia
14:22
phones. These phones were specifically
14:24
designed uh for the most part for usage
14:26
with their Alpha cameras. Sony also have
14:30
uh has mirrorless cameras. And what that
14:33
phone allowed you to do is connect it
14:34
using a cable to that camera to use the
14:37
phone as a bigger display
14:40
for the camera. So instead of using, you
14:42
know, the the tiny little screen that
14:43
you have on your camera to see what the
14:45
camera sees, you can plug in your phone
14:46
and use that instead. And it's a much
14:48
bigger display, also color calibrated,
14:50
pretty good. Well, it was part of the
14:53
Sony uh phone for free. And if you
14:57
bought that phone, you probably bought
14:59
it for that reason. And you overpaid for
15:01
that reason because the phone was
15:02
already more expensive than it should
15:04
have been, but it had some benefit.
15:06
Well, Sony came out and was like, "Well,
15:08
you know what? not enough people are
15:09
using our phones uh and this
15:11
application. So, we're gonna add
15:14
subscription, which basically means, you
15:16
know what, the suckers that bought this
15:17
phone for this specific reason, we're
15:19
going to just going to dry in there,
15:20
right? Yeah. And you're getting screwed.
15:23
Um we don't need lube for that. Uh sucks
15:26
to suck, loser. Oh, you bought the phone
15:28
year ago for that purpose. Well, now you
15:30
can pay a subscription for that purpose.
15:32
Uh, so you overpaid and now you get to
15:34
also pay a subscription to still use the
15:36
feature that you paid. Or alternatively,
15:38
you can just screw screw that and uh
15:41
start using monitor plus instead, which
15:44
is wireless and works on every phone.
15:45
You can thank me later. Anyway, uh now
15:49
with all that out of the way, there is
15:51
some things that it can do. You can
15:53
technically delete OTA update services.
15:54
your device becomes vulnerable to
15:56
exploits if ever there are some that
16:00
wouldn't be patched because you deleted
16:01
this. Uh but you know what I have the
16:03
approach of it that if a company can
16:06
change a terms of purchase after the
16:08
purchase without my permission seems
16:09
like a very very big exploit there and
16:13
if I see that happening more than my
16:16
phone getting hacked you know what I
16:19
think I prefer to patch it myself by
16:20
removing it that's just my approach
16:23
anyway let's move on
16:25
so next we have recommended services so
16:28
we have join user experience programs
16:30
don't personalize ized recommended
16:33
services. No auto update services. No,
16:37
we can keep most of this off. If you
16:39
want something very much, you can turn
16:40
it on. Obviously, I'm not telling you
16:42
that you need to have these off. I just
16:44
recommend uh if there's something that
16:46
you do want, maybe AppCenter, turn that
16:49
on by all means.
16:51
Uh user experience improvement programs.
16:53
Yeah, we're not joining that. That's
16:54
basically the same thing that Google
16:56
give us your data so we can sell it and
16:58
make record-breaking profit. We can make
17:00
double the money from selling your data
17:02
than we did from selling you the phone.
17:04
Disagree. Um, next we have mobile
17:07
cloner. This is actually pretty good
17:09
application all things considered. Uh,
17:11
it can be downloaded on other devices
17:14
and what it will allow you to do is for
17:16
instance if you have an old Samsung that
17:17
you are coming from, you can download
17:19
mobile cloner on that Samsung and then
17:21
connect these two phones together and
17:23
select what kind of data you want to
17:24
move from that Samsung to this one. And
17:28
uh if you're thinking well I already
17:29
backed up using Google then you haven't
17:32
really backed up your device uh and I do
17:34
recommend using this instead uh because
17:36
uh mobile cloner creates connection
17:39
between these two phones together. So
17:40
it's completely uh offline
17:43
or off the grid more like um and
17:47
it's uh not going to be cherry picking
17:49
what kind of data you can move up to how
17:51
much data you can move. It just allows
17:53
you to move everything as long as you
17:55
have enough space on the phone itself.
17:57
And you can move everything like photos,
17:59
videos, no matter if there's more than
18:01
15 gigabytes unlike Google. Uh
18:03
applications, if they came from outside
18:04
of Play Store, no problem. It's moved.
18:07
So, it's going to be much better and
18:09
also faster.
18:11
Next, we have system navigation. So,
18:13
choose whichever navigation you prefer.
18:14
I like gestures, so that's what I'm
18:16
going to stick with.
18:18
And this basically finishes up the
18:20
setup.
18:21
So,
18:24
it's like get ready.
18:26
And here it is. Now, with that being all
18:29
