    Marshmallow 6.0 Landing On Infinix Hot 2 Android One Phone Next Month

    7:25 am 0
    Marshmallow 6.0 Landing On Infinix Hot 2 Android One Phone Next Month
    Good news to all Infinix hot 2 Android One mobile phone users, as Marshmallow 6.0 will be landing on your way in no time.
    Remember last time that Google went into the mission of making the Android One project a reality for many; a project that was geared towards producing and delivering not more than $100 Google Android branded phones to most smartphone emergent markets across the globe.

    It was during that period, which was not even long ago that gave birth to the Infinix Hot2 branded Android One phones that most of you went ahead to snap up.

    What makes the Infinix Hot2 Android One phone different?

    By now, you should know that as Android is to Google, so is Google is to Android, giving birth to originality.

    The Infinix Hot2 to is different from many other android phones in proliferation today, because unlike other android phones like those from your Tecno, Innjoo and even other Infinix products that their OS which is Android was delivered to those devices based on franchise, the Infinix Hot2 has the true mark of Android in it as it runs on Google’s own Android OS.

    And the major difference between Google Android and other androids based on franchise deals is that of updates, as Google Android devices get direct and quick updates delivered to them once any form of updates is made available.

    And that is what exactly most of you that got the Infinix Hot 2 will be enjoying in the next couple of days, as the latest Google Android OS, which is the Marshmallow will be getting delivered to all Android One devices which Infinix Hot 2 is part of.

    When we say next month, don’t forget that next month is just 2 days ahead, but to be precise, Infinix Hot2 owners should brace themselves and their devices up for all the new features that the Android Marshmallow have in stock as  starting November 7, Marshmallow updates to your devices will gradually begin to creep in.

    On whether other Infinix products aside the Infinix Hot2 will we be getting the Marshmallow update thereafter is still uncertain for now, as the report currently has it that it is only Infinix Hot2 that will enjoy the upcoming update for the time being.

    How To Unlock Android Device With Cracked Or Broken Screen

    How To Unlock Android Device With Cracked Or Broken Screen
    This tutorial will school you on how to unlock Android device with a cracked or even worse, a broken screen. Retrieving your data isn`t data after a cracked or broken screen has felt so good before until now.
    I have been a fan of touch screen smart phones since the time they first came out and I can’t even imagine going back to a non touch screen phone. While touch screen phones are probably the best in terms of interface and functionality, since you can directly press on the screen for accessing anything, some touch screen phones are sensitive, and once something goes wrong, they can leave you frustrated.

    One of the problems that most Android users face is a cracked, broken or inaccessible touch screen. The problem here is that you’ll be able to see everything on your phone, but you won’t be able to interact with the screen. In such instances, I’m sure many of us remember the good old phones with hard keys. The problem for most users here isn’t that they need to get their phones repaired, but that their phones are locked
    and they can’t put in the password in order to backup all the important files.

    Like many other problems on Android phones, there are solutions to this problem as well and even if you 
    can’t access your touch screen, you can learn how to unlock Android device with cracked or broken screens with the methods below. Note that the methods mentioned below aren’t official solutions to this problem, but rather they’re workarounds that a lot of Android users have had success with and they should work on some of the most popular Android phones, such as Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One, Nexus 5 and Motorola Moto X. Also, they should work other less known Android tablets and phones. You might also try our guides on replacing cracked screens for the S3 and Galaxy S4.

    Method 1: Android Debug Bridge

    The Android Debug Bridge or ADB solution is the most successful and popular solution for this problem since you don’t need to purchase any fancy stuff in order to unlock your Android phone. You’ll need a PC and a micro USB cable to connect your phone to your PC. This method will only work if you have USB debugging enabled on your Android phone.

    If you don’t have it enabled, then proceed to the second method. You’ll need to install the Android SDK (software development kit) package on your PC along with your phone’s specific USB drivers.

     Step 1
    Download the Android SDK package on your PC. You can download it through this link. Make sure that you download the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version for your PC. Once downloaded, extract the zip file on your PC.

     Step 2
    Download USB drivers for your phone. You can get the USB drivers for your phone from your manufacturer’s website.

     Step 3
    Launch the Command Prompt on your PC and change the directory to where the ADB file is located. Type in the following command in Command Prompt. cd C:/android/platform-tools

     Step 4
    Connect your Android phone to your PC using a micro USB cable and enter the following command. If your phone is recognized, you’ll see some numbers in the Command Prompt message. adb devices

     Step 5
    Type in the following two commands. You’ll need to type in the second command immediately after the first one. Replace 1234 in the first command with your actual password.

    adb shell input text 1234

    shell input keyevent 66

     Step 6
    If the process is successful, your phone should be unlocked. You can now backup all your important files.s
    Method 2: USB On the Go Mouse

    If the first method didn’t work with your phone or if you don’t have USB debugging enabled, then this is the next best alternative. This method focuses on using a mouse in order to interact with the phone. This is the same way that you interact with your non touch screen PC. Surprisingly, a USB mouse and other USB accessories work quite well with Android phones and tablets.

    However, you’ll need to purchase an OTG (On The Go cable) adapter in order to connect the mouse with your phone. While most Android phones and tablets support OTG, some phones cannot be used with an OTG adapter. Make sure that you do your research on whether your phone supports OTG. Some of the latest phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One support OTG. You can also check out this OTG compatibility list.

     Step 1
    Get an OTG adapter for your phone. You can find it at your local mobile store. You can also buy one from Amazon for about $5 OTG cable or to the nearest mobile accessories store and you can also borrow from a friend. 

    Step 2
    Get a USB mouse if you don’t already have one connected to your PC. They are available at computer stores.

     Step 3
    Connect the micro USB side of the OTG cable in your Android tablet or phone and plug in the USB mouse in the OTG adapter.

     Step 4
    As soon as you connect the mouse, you should see a pointer on your screen. You can now use the mouse to unlock the pattern or use it to press the keys of the on-screen keyboard if you have a password lock. android pattern.

     Advisory Conclusion
    One of the reasons Android is my favorite operating system is because there is a solution to almost every problem. A dead touch screen might be a nightmare for you, especially if you have a lot of important data on your phone. However, using the methods mentioned above on how to unlock your Android device with a cracked or broken screen, you can easily unlock your phone and backup all your important data before getting your phone repaired. Again, both these methods are workarounds to this problem and they might not work with some devices. That being said, they are probably the only two solutions that you can use in order to unlock your phone without interacting with the touch screen.

    Method 1 is perfect if you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, since you don’t need to purchase anything and the entire process takes only several minutes. If, however, USB debugging is disabled on your phone or if the ADB commands didn’t work with your phone, then you can use a USB mouse in order to unlock your phone. Make sure that you check whether your phone or tablet supports OTG before getting an OTG adapter. Whichever method you choose, make sure that you follow all the instructions properly and feel free to shoot any questions below.

    How To Switch Between Two Android Launchers After Setting One As Default

    How To Switch Between Two Android Launchers After Setting One As Default
    This tutorial will teach you how to simply switch between two android launchers after setting one as default.  I believe by now, that you already know what android launchers are; they are apps that add different fanciful styles to your android themes, app drawers etc. in just a manner that will make you love your android screen user interface.

    Examples of common launchers are Go launchers, CMS launcher, Zero launchers and so many others out there that you can choose from and that will presents its unique styling features to your android.

    Yesterday, somebody told me that he has 2 different launchers on his android device and that he has opted to use one of the launchers as his default launcher by choosing the always option against the just once option that was presented to him.

    He continued by telling me that he wants to switch and use the other launcher but finding it difficult to do so.

    I know that some of you out there might be facing similar difficulty in switching between your android launchers especially when you have set one as default.

    In that vein I decided to through light on how you can easily switch between launchers and play around them even if you have up to 5 of them; it shouldn’t present that difficulty to set any of  your choice android launcher as default.

    Now out of your numerous android launchers, for you to switch and set another one as default after having one as default already, follow the simple steps below;

    I believe you know the names of the launchers that you have installed to your device

    ·     With your android phone, navigate your way to Settings>>All>>Apps

    ·     Then swipe left 3 times to land on All menu

    ·     Under All, locate the current default launcher

    ·     Tap on the current default launcher and move down where you will see the clear default tab

    ·     Tab on the clear default to reset

    ·      Now go back to your home screen and hold down the home key; it will then prompt you again to choose from the list of your launchers to use either always or just once.

    After setting which one to use, you can from now on always repeat the entire process above to switch between your android launchers any time you set one as default (Always)
