Welcome. In front of me is a Motorola Moto E4 Plus, and today I'll show you a couple tweaks
0:10
and tricks that I can do on this device. So we're going to begin with the color mode
0:14
which will allow you to add a little bit more saturation to the image of the display. And to do it
0:19
you want to go into the settings. Then under display, you'll find color mode. And you can just check
0:30
vibrant and you can immediately see the difference like in a preview image that it shows you
0:35
how it differs so if you like it you can keep it now next thing i'm going to show is i guess
0:43
something that is a little bit less intuitive which is the airplane mode now normally it doesn't
0:47
do anything well particularly special but basically when you do enable it it basically disconnects
0:53
from everything that you're connected to so wi-fi network your cellular connection
1:00
and if you have some kind of problems with your calls, enabling airplane mode and then disabling it immediately after
1:08
is a good way to try to fix your connection problems. Let's say you're calling someone and the call keeps cutting out
1:15
and you just can't hear the entire conversation. So all you would really need to do is stop on it and disconnects
1:22
then tap on it again to disable it and reconnects. And basically when it reconnects to our cellular connection
1:29
it will connect to the closest cell tower that is well relative to you and hopefully also
1:35
improve your call quality now moving on we going to go into the developer options which has an option that i find particularly really handy for animation speeds So as you can see everything here is animated with the slides and opening stuff like that
1:53
And if you go into settings and about phone, then find build number, which is at the bottom
1:58
top on it seven times, get a message you are now with developer, go back, and you'll see that there is a new option that appeared
2:04
developer options. Go in there, scroll down a little bit past halfway, I think
2:09
there it is so you have the three options window animation scale transition animation scale and
2:14
animation duration scale now which one of them corresponds to a bit of different part of the animation
2:19
for instance the first window will be corresponding to the window that actually opens up with the
2:25
options and number one i mean one x is just a default one so that's the normal speed and you can see
2:32
it now if i change it to times 10 you'll see a difference in how quick it opens and closes
2:39
can check it to off and then there won't be any animation whatsoever. And you can set it all to off
2:47
So all of them and then the device won't have any animations for Windows
2:51
So they'll be basically closing and without any kind of animation, just popping in and out of it
2:57
So if I would close this right now, you can see that there's no more minimizing effect
3:02
Recent doesn't like slide up the panels, opening it, tapping on your window doesn't actually zoom it in. It just immediately pops
3:09
into view. Now when the device isn't necessarily the fastest one, it also I would say
3:14
helps you with making the device feel a little bit faster than it actually is. And also if
3:23
you would like to keep animations because for instance zero animations is in your 4thay you can always set it to half speed and then you would have basically best of both worlds quick animations that are twice as fast as the previous one but still actually have them
3:41
Now moving on to a little bit more of a secure portion of this
3:46
One thing that I really like doing is checking all of the make password visible
3:51
And as an example, I'm just going to go into Wi-Fi, considering this is the easiest way I can actually showcase passwords and how
3:56
it affects. So once you have a field where you're typing in a password, this is just an
4:01
example. It basically has effect in every place wherever you have to type in a password. When you
4:07
start typing it away, you can always see the latest letter that you have pressed and the line
4:11
And this is, in my opinion, a little bit annoying considering someone might be picking over your
4:15
shoulder on a bus or something like that. And your entire password will be provided neatly
4:20
in a sequence of all the letters that are visible. So there's a way to disable that, so it
4:26
immediately shows up as a doubt and to do it you'd go into the settings and then
4:30
security and you have it right here make password visible disable this sucker
4:35
and go back here and you can see immediately that there is no more letter
4:42
visible whatsoever so a nice handy feature to just make it a little bit more secure and
4:49
the last thing that I want to show is the screen pinning which allows you to pin a specific app to your screen and
4:56
If someone is a few, for instance, let someone use your phone, you have some kind of
5:01
stranger or whatever and they want to make a call, you can open up the dialer app and pin
5:06
it to your window and they won be able to leave this app so they will be just restricted to use of the app that you allow them to You can also customize it further because it has a fairly easy way of being disabled by just holding two keys
5:23
But you can make it that it will require a password or pattern, whatever it is, to be disabled
5:32
And to do it, you would go into the settings again and security. And it is some on the bottom screen pinning right here
5:39
and just enable that and you have the option a lack device when unpinning
5:46
This like I said will also require you to have a pattern or password or pin whatever it is
5:51
Basically when you unpin the screen it will lock your device and force the user to put in their
5:58
credentials to actually just get back to the device. I'm just going to keep this off for the purpose of not having to set up any patterns or anything
6:07
because I don't have any set up at the moment. But right here, can go into
6:16
right here, you can see that there's a phone and it has that pen thing right here, tap on it
6:22
It pins the window, then it gives you the combination to unpin
6:27
touch and hold the bug button to unpin. Now, this isn't even as complicated as some other options
6:32
where it tells you to hold, for instance, back and recent. This is only just a back
6:37
And now if you want to leave this, you can see that nothing really works as long as you don't hold it
6:45
So this is fairly easy, but it has that option to basically if you unpin it, it automatically likes the device so you won't be able to leave the app anyway
6:54
But that would conclude all the tweaks and tricks that I wanted to share. And if you found any of them helpful, don't forget if I'd like, subscribe and thanks for watching
