To be sure, a dedicated scanner is still great to have if you frequently need to scan a large handful of documents. But using your phone also works great if you only have a couple of documents to scan every now and then. The following tips from howtogeek.com should come in handy.

How it works  

If you’re using an Android device, the best way to scan documents is through the Google Drive app, which comes pre-installed on most Android devices.

You can scan documents directly into Google Drive by tapping the “+” button in the lower right corner of the home screen.

When the menu slides up from the bottom, select “Scan”.

It may ask for permission to access the phone’s camera. If so, tap on “Allow”.

When you are ready to scan your document, fill up the screen with the document as much as you can and tap the blue capture button. You can also shed a little light on the document by tapping the flash icon next to the capture button if your device has a flash. If your device doesn’t have a flash, this option won’t appear.

After you scan the document, a preview of it will immediately appear. Don’t worry if it looks like most of the document is cut off. This is where the crop tool comes into play. Tap on it to make cropping adjustments.

Tap, hold, and drag on the dots to change the area that is scanned and uploaded — you likely only need to mess with the corner dots for this.

Once finished, tap on the checkmark in the lower right corner of the screen.

After scanning…

You have three options immediately after scanning something:

Tap the plus icon to add more pages to the document.To redo a scan, tap the circular arrow in the middle.Tap the checkmark icon to finish and upload the document to Google Drive.

You can also make minor adjustments to your scans as you go. For instance, tapping on the painter’s palette in the top right corner will allow you to change the scan’s colour selection and cater it towards a specific kind of document. By default, the scanner will automatically pick the one it thinks is best.

Lastly, the three dots in the upper right corner will let you delete, rename, and rotate the scan if need be.

Uploaded scans are added to Google Drive as PDFs and the names are prepended with the word “Scanned”, followed by the date and time. You can move, rename, or delete any of your scanned documents by clicking the three dots next to the file’s name.

You can also share your scanned documents from this menu by tapping on “Share Link”. This will share a link to the document on Google Drive, while “Send a copy” will allow you to share the actual file over email, send it to Dropbox, and more.

Or, if you move to a desktop computer, you can even convert that scanned PDF into a document that you can then edit or export to Microsoft Word.

Remember the Tecno launch event held in Lagos recently? This is one of the smartphone unveiled at the event alongside its other sibling in the F-series, the Tecno F2. The Tecno F1 is absolutely a budget smartphone and as such does not offer much features. Hence, the smartphone is aggressively priced and suitable for users that want a second smartphone or on a very tight budget.

Tecno F1 Key Specs and Features

5.0-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 854 X 480 pixelsQuad-Core MediaTek MT6580A CPU with 512MB RAM8GB built-in storage, up to 16GB with a memory card5MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera2, 000mAh removable Li-ion battery3G connectivity

Design and Display

When it comes to low budget smartphones like the Tecno F1, a nice design isn’t top priority. Nonetheless, the Tecno F1 to an extent is a good looking device with 18:9 aspect ratio alongside a nice plastic build – a common occurrence in low budget smartphones. The front houses three capacitive touch buttons below the screen and array of speaker, sensors plus camera at the top.

Talking about the viewing screen, there is an average low budget offering in place. So don’t be too judgemental about it because this is what you’d find in a similar budget smartphone. That being said, there is a 5.0-inch FWVGA (854 X 480 pixels) display with a nice 18:9 aspect ratio seen in premium smartphones.

Battery and Camera

Inside, there is a meagre 2, 000mAh battery which is about all you need for a day usage on the smartphone. This is possible considering the low specs on the smartphone which in turn consumes less power. Also, if you are looking for a quick charge you would have to pay more for a mid-range to premium smartphone instead.

Taking pictures is not a feature to be enjoyed on this smartphone rather it was a feature born out of necessity. In this regard, the Tecno F1 comes with a 5MP rear camera with flash and a 2MP front camera.

Hardware and Software

In the area of hardware, the smartphone doesn’t have much with nothing more than an entry level SoC in charge of operations. You’ve got a MediaTek MT6580A running at 1.3GHz an a Mali-400 GPU for graphics munching.

In addition, there’s a 512MB RAM with 8GB of internal storage. Expansion of the storage us supported up to 32GB using a MicroSD card. Despite being an entry level smartphone, you have the latest Android 8.0 Oreo Go Edition optimized for a smooth predominance with Go version of pre-installed apps.

Pricing and Availability

The smartphone is available in various smartphone retail outlets and online stores for about 24, 000 naira depending on the deal and your location.

Your intensions when cracking a Wi-Fi password are no doubt noble—we trust you—so here's how to do it.

Chances are you have a Wi-Fi network at home, or live close to one (or more) that tantalizingly pops up in a list whenever you boot up the laptop.

The problem is, if there's a lock next to the network name (AKA the SSID, or service set identifier), that indicates security is activated. Without the password or passphrase, you're not going to get access to that network, or the sweet, sweet internet that goes with it.

Perhaps you forgot the password on your own network, or don't have neighbors willing to share the Wi-Fi goodness. You could just go to a café, buy a latte, and use the "free" Wi-Fi there. Download an app for your phone like WiFi-Map (available for iOS and Android), and you'll have a list of over 2 million hotspots with free Wi-Fi for the taking (including some passwords for locked Wi-Fi connections, if they're shared by any of the app's 7 million users).

However, there are other ways to get back on the wireless. Some require such extreme patience and waiting that the café idea is going to look pretty good. Read on if you can't wait.

Windows Commands to Get the Key

This trick works to recover a Wi-Fi network password (aka network security key) only if you've previously attached to the Wi-Fi in question using that very password. In other words, it only works if you've forgotten a previously used password.

It works because Windows 8 and 10 create a profile of every Wi-Fi network to which you attach. If you tell Windows to forget the network, then it also forgets the password, so this won't work. But most people never explicitly do that.

It requires that you go into a Windows Command Prompt with administrative privileges. To do so, use Cortana to search for "cmd" and the menu will show Command Prompt; right-click that entry and select "Run as administrator." That'll open the black box full of white text with the prompt inside—it's the line with a > at the end, probably something likeC:\WINDOWS\system32\>. A blinking cursor will indicate where you type. Start with this:

netsh wlan show profile

The results will bring up a section called User Profiles—those are all the Wi-Fi networks (aka WLANs, or wireless local area networks) you've accessed and saved. Pick the one you want to get the password for, highlight it, and copy it. At the prompt below, type the following, but replace the Xs with the network name you copied; you only need the quotation marks if the network name has spaces in it.

netsh wlan show profile name="XXXXXXXX" key=clear

In the new data that comes up, look under Security Settings for the line "Key Content." The word displayed is the Wi-Fi password/key you are missing.

On macOS, open up the Spotlight search (Cmd+Space) and type terminal to get the Mac equivalent of a command prompt. Type the following, replacing the Xs with the network name.

security find-generic-password -wa XXXXX

Reset the Router

Before you do a full router reset just to get on the wireless, try to log into the routerfirst. From there, you can easily reset your Wi-Fi password/key if you've forgotten it.

That's not possible if you don't know the password for the router, either. (They're not the same thing unless you set it up that way). Resetting the router only works if you have access. That access could be over Wi-Fi (which we've just established you don't have) or physically utilizing an Ethernet cable.

Or that access can simply be that you are in the same room as the router. Almost every router in existence has a recessed reset button. Push it with a pen or unfolded paperclip, hold it for about 10 seconds, and the router will reset to the factory settings.

If you've got a router that came from your internet service provider (ISP), check the stickers on the unit before a reset—the ISP might have printed the router and Wi-Fi key right on the hardware.

Once a router is reset, you need another password (plus a username) to access the router itself. Again, you can do this via a PC attached to the router via Ethernet—you'll need that since the reset probably killed any potential Wi-Fi connection you had going in. The actual access is typically done with a web browser.

The URL to type is either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, or some variation. Try them randomly; that generally works. To figure out which one, on the PC connected to the router, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig" without the quotes. Look among the gobbledygook for an "IPv4 Address," which will start with 192.168. The other two spaces, called octets, are going to be different numbers between 0 and 255. Note the third octet (probably a 1 or 0). The fourth is specific to the PC you're using to log into the router.

In the browser, type 192.168.x.1, replacing the X with the number you found in the ipconfig search. The 1 in the last octet should point at the router—it's the number one device on the network.

At this point, the router should then ask for a username and password. You can check your manual, but you probably lost it or threw it away. So instead, go toRouterPasswords.com, which exists for one reason: to tell people the default username/password on every router ever created.

You'll need the router's model number, but that's easy enough to find on the back or bottom. You'll quickly see a pattern among router makers of having the username ofadmin and a password of password. Since most people are lazy and don't change an assigned password, you could try those options before hitting the reset button. (But c'mon, you're better than that—change the password when you access the router's settings via your web browser.)

Once you've accessed the router interface, go to the Wi-Fi settings, turn on the wireless networks, and assign strong but easy-to-recall passwords. After all, you don't want to share with neighbors without your permission.

Make that Wi-Fi password easy to type on a mobile device, too. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to get a smartphone on Wi-Fi with some cryptic, impossible to key-in-via-thumbs nonsense, even if it is the most secure.

Crack the Code

You didn't come here because the headline said "reset the router," though. You want to know how to crack the password on a Wi-Fi network.

Searching on "wi-fi password hack," or other variations, nets you a lot of links—mostly for software on sites where the adware and bots and scams are pouring like snake oil. Download them at your own risk, for Windows PCs especially. It's best to have a PC that you can afford to get effed up a bit if you go that route. I had multiple attempts with tools I found just get outright deleted by my antivirus before I could even try to run the EXE installation file.

You could create a system just for this kind of thing, maybe dual-boot into a separate operating system that can do what's called "penetration testing"—a form of offensive approach security, where you examine a network for any and all possible paths of a breach. Kali Linux is a Linux distribution built for just that purpose. You can run Kali Linux off a CD or USB key without even installing it to your PC's hard drive. It's free and comes with all the tools you'd need to crack a network. It even now comes as an app for Windows 10 in the Windows App Store! If you're only after a Wi-Fi network, the Wifislax distro is a Live CD targets them directly.

If you don't want to install a whole OS, then try the tried-and-true tools of Wi-Fi hackers.

Aircrack has been around for years, going back to when Wi-Fi security was only based on WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WEP was weak even back in the day and was supplanted in 2004 by WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).

Aircrack-ng—labeled as a "set of tools for auditing wireless networks," so it should be part of any network admin's toolkit—will take on cracking WEP and WPA-PSK keys. It comes with full documentation, but it's not simple. To crack a network you need to have the right kind of Wi-Fi adapter in your computer, one that supports packet injection. You need to be comfortable with the command line and have a lot of patience. Your Wi-Fi adapter and Aircrack have to gather a lot of data to get anywhere close to decrypting the passkey on the network you're targeting. It could take a while. Here's a how-to on doing it using Aircrack installed on Kali Linux. Another option on the PC using the command line isAirgeddon.

If you prefer a graphical user interface (GUI), there is KisMAC for macOS. It's mainly known as a "sniffer" for seeking out Wi-Fi networks. It's the kind of thing we don't need much of these days since our phones and tablets do a pretty good job of showing us every Wi-Fi signal in the air around us. But, it can crack some keys with the right adapter installed. Also on the Mac:Wi-Fi Crack. To use those, or Aircrack-ng on the Mac, you need to install them usingMacPorts, a tool for installing command-line products on the Mac.

Cracking the much stronger WPA/WPA2 passwords and passphrases is the real trick.

Reaver-wps is the one tool that appears to be up to the task. You'll need that command-line comfort again to work with it. After two to 10 hours of brute force attacks, Reaver should be able to reveal a password... but it's only going to work if the router you're going after has both a strong signal and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) turned on. WPS is the feature where you can push a button on the router, another button on a Wi-Fi device, and they find each other and link auto-magically, with a fully encrypted connection. It's also the "hole" through which Reaver crawls.

(Even if you turn off WPS, sometimes it's not completely off, but turning it off is your only recourse if you're worried about hacks on your own router via Reaver. Or, get a router that doesn't support WPS.)

Hacking Wi-Fi over WPS is also possible with some tools on Android, which only work if the Android device has been rooted. Check out Wifi WPS WPA Tester, Reaver for Android, or Kali Linux Nethunter as options.

If you’ve been an Android user for several years, you might think you know the Android settings menu inside out. After all, there’s no way you’d have accidentally overlooked a useful option, right?

Unfortunately, you probably have overlooked something. These days, the Android settings menu is a sprawling maze of menu and sub-menus. It’s hard to find the more obscure options.

But which of the settings you’ve overlooked are useful, and which can live on in peaceful obscurity? Let’s find out. (Depending on your device’s manufacturer, some of these settings might not be available.)

1. Screen Magnification

Do you ever come across a really small font or tiny picture while you’re browsing the web?

If you’re using a browser on a desktop machine, it’s easy to zoom in and take a closer look. And, of course, Windows and macOS both offer a robust set of accessibility tools.

On mobile, it’s a different story. Some web pages allow you to use the pinch-to-zoom gesture, whereas others aren’t compatible with the feature. It all depends on how the site is coded.

Android offers a solution. Open theSettings app and navigate to Accessibility > System > Magnification Gesture and slide the toggle into the On position.

When enabled, triple-tap the screen to zoom in, and navigate by dragging two fingers around the display. You can adjust the level of zoom by pinching. Triple-tap again to return to the standard view.

Alternatively, triple-tap the screen and keep your finger pressed down on the third tap. It will temporarily zoom the screen until you release your finger.

2. Invert Screen Colors

The accessibility menu offers a couple of other useful features that we’ll look at. Firstly, let’s check out how to invert your screen’s colors.

For someone with a visual impairment, this has obvious advantages. But it’s also useful for everyone else.

Just think, how many times have you wished an app had a “dark” theme? And how many times have you given yourself sore eyes because you’ve used a bright screen in a dark room? Sure, there are third-party apps that can alter your screen’s color temperature, but this is an easy-to-use native alternative.

To invert your Android’s screen, open theSettings app and go to Accessibility > Display > Color Inversion. Slide the toggle into the On position to get started.

Using the feature has a couple of caveats. Firstly, your device may not perform as efficiently. Secondly, there’s no shortcut -– you’ll have to go into the Settings menu every time you want to enable or disable the inversion.

3. Add More Printing Services

Occasionally, it’s useful to be able to print a document from your smartphone. Perhaps you forgot an important letter or need to produce a copy of your ID.

Google Cloud Print has been part of the Android operating system for a long time. However, despite being a long-term feature, the service doesn’t feel solid. Print jobs often fail, and if you’re using an old printer, adding it into the app is a painstaking process.

Luckily, you can easily add more printers to your devices. Plugins are available from all the leading printer manufacturers, including HP, Brother, Canon, Xerox, and Epson. There are also a few cross-printer third-party apps to choose from.

To add a printer plugin, go to Settings > Printing > Add Service. A list of all the available plugins will appear. To add one to your phone, tap on the icon and clickInstall.

4. Make Passwords Visible

If you follow proper security etiquette, your password should be long, use a mix of numbers and letters, include uppercase and lowercase characters, and use some special characters.

On paper, that sounds great. In practice, it’s annoying –- especially on a mobile device. It takes a long time to enter it when you’re using an on-screen keyboard. Worse yet, you don’t even know if you made an error; your phone typically obscures your password using stars or dots.

If you find that you have to constantly re-enter passwords due to typos, this setting could be for you. Enabling it will mean your password will be visible on-screen in plain text.

To make all your passwords visible, go toSettings > Security > Passwords > Make passwords visible and slide the toggle into the On position.

Warning: This setting has obvious security implications. If you enable it, make sure nobody is looking over your shoulder when using your online banking or other sensitive services.

5. Set Your Billing Cycle

Although the general global trend is towards an unlimited data allowance on your cell phone contract, there are many carriers –- especially in the United States — that restrict your allowance.

If you go over your allowance, you’ll either be forced to pay out for an expensive add-on to keep you online, or you’ll receive a shock when your bill arrives.

If you set your billing cycle, you can monitor how much data you’re using over the 30-day period and adjust your usage accordingly.

To set up your bill date, go to Settings > Data Usage > Billing cycle > Billing cycle. In this menu, you can also choose whether you receive warnings when you get close to your limit, and even disable mobile data entirely if you go over it.

To see how much data you have used in a given period, tap on Mobile data usage. You’ll be able to see a neat graph that shows you which days your usage was unusually light or heavy.

6. Touch and Hold Delay

For the final setting, we head back to the Accessibility menu. Did you know it was possible to change how much time you need to hold your finger down for during a “long press”?

If you frequently find yourself needing access to the copy and paste context menu, setting the time to the shortest available option is a huge timesaver.

To make your selection, open the Settingsapp and navigate to Accessibility > System > Touch and hold delay. You can choose from Short, Medium, or Long.

What Other Android Settings Are Useful?

In this article, we’ve introduced you to six underused and underappreciated Android settings on your device.

Losing a smartphone either to theft,  mishandling, or any other mishap can be a really horrible experience. Normally, the next step to take after the occurrence of a smartphone loss is to try to recover the device, before replacement comes to mind — i.e when recovery fails.

The actions below are some of the best things we think you should do swiftly as soon as you discover your device has gone missing.

1. Track or Locate the Device

The first advised step is to determine where you device is. This will help tell if your phone was stolen or mislaid, or you forget it at an event you attended.

If you have tracking and monitoring apps previously installed on the device, you can easily track them. There are a good number Android tracking apps available on the Google Play Store and likewise, App Store, for tracking iOS devices.

Alternatively, you can use the services of phone manufacturers to locate your phone. “Find My iPhone” is a perfect phone tracking service for iPhone users while the “Find My Device” is for Android devices. These apps and services allows you remotely “call” your device to see if it around you (maybe lying somewhere in the kitchen drawer) and give map and satellite locations, too.

2. Password change

Either after successful tracking of your phone and you discover that it is in an unknown location, or all tracking efforts have proved abortive and your phone is still unreachable, the next best thing to do is the change the password of vital apps with sensitive information.

Passwords of apps like banking apps, email, cloud storage, electronic wallet, and social media apps. Some tracking apps and services even allow you remotely lock your device with a new security code to deny the anyone in possession of your phone access to the contents.

3. Contact your network carrier

If you still cannot reach your phone, or you are now sure that it is in someone else’s possession, the next point of action would be to contact your network carrier to block services on the phone (SIM card) and also commence service retrieval processes.

4. Contact your Bank

It is always recommended that you contact the financial institution(s) through which you make monetary transactions on the missing device. Inform them about the state of your phone and instruct them to temporarily restrict the number from carrying out any transactions till you retrieve your phone or number.

This action is particularly important in Nigeria as phone thieves can gain access to your Bank Verification Number (BVN) by dialing a USSD code on your device. And once this occurs, all the monies in your bank account can be withdrawn.

5. Contact relatives and work buddies

It is also highly recommended that you notify relative and the people at your workplace about your missing device, particularly if you use the phone to access work-related data and information. Inform your colleagues and employer will be an awesome idea.

According to TomsGuide,

“This allows the company to take preventive steps to secure its data. The company’s IT department may also be able to delete company data from your phone remotely.”

6. Wipe/ Erase contents of the phone

Depending on the contents of the missing phone, this is actually the last thing that is advised to do — i.e if the likelihood of ever getting the phone back is zero (or very close to zero).

The good thing about this is that it can also be done remotely — via phone tracking/monitoring apps and services, or authorities with relevant equipment to remotely wipe data off a missing/stolen phone.

However, you should know that after wiping data off a phone, the chances of recovering the device later in the future are slim.

The above 6 items are some of the precautionary actions you should take once you notice your smartphone is missing. Doing these will ensure 2 things:

1. That you recover your phone.2. That is the case where phone recovery fails, you do not lose other things (like money, data, etc.) in the long run.

Now most peoples are using android phones. Because those phones have many cool user friendly features. But do you know about that? You can't keep your android phone battery long lifetime because this features are wasting it. So I thought tell you how to use your android phone battery as long time with few small tricks.But you really don't need your phone ALL the time.

Turn it Off. Obviously this is not an option but you can keep your battery life with this tricks. If you didn't use your phone some long period then turn then turning your phone off is the easiest way to save battery life.

Turn Off Vibrate And Keys Tones. This function is wasting your battery life much more. So if you didn't want vibrate and key tones turn off them. You can also set your ring tones to a low volume to save extra power.

Decrease Screen Brightness. You can save your power via decrease screen brightness. If you can set your screen brightness 50% or lower. If not set it automatically, but never set it 100%.

Don't Use Live Wallpapers. Live wallpapers is one of the cool feature on android phones. But they use your battery charge much more.

Turn off Bluetooth and WiFi. Bluetooth and WiFi is mostly using features on mobile phones. Also they reduce your battery lifetime. So disable them when they’re not in use.

Close Unwanted Applications. Apps using battery power as long as there open. So close unused applications on your programme list.

Charge Your Battery Before It Dies. You must charge your phone before it fully discharges of its power. If not your battery lifetime reduces very quickly. This trick is very important.

Use Hands free. If you watching movies or listening music use Hands free. Don't use phone speakers to do it.

Turn Off Flash Lights. Avoid using the flash on camera phones. The little flashes are powerful and therefore use lots of energy. So don't use flash lights every times.

Limit the screen timeout. Most cell phone screens will stay lit for a specified period of time after receiving input such as a swipe or tap. Set the timeout to the shortest available in your settings so the display will essentially go into a sleep mode when not in use.
