Handling of the Device

Close Apps

Contacts / Phone numbers

CRUD
Sync Contacts
    • Tap Google and then Settings for Google apps and then Google Contacts sync and then Status.
    • Turn off Automatically sync.
    • Turn on Automatically sync again.
  • Updates of smartphone contacts by “Sync Contacts”:
    • If you change the contact list on device A, you must activate the instant-sync on the other device B, to get the updated contact list on the other devices B :-).
    • If you change the contact list on device A, but activate the instant-sync on device A, all changes are lost... :-(.

Copy & Paste

Download Storage Place in the File System

  • Download are stored “Phone storage / MyFavorite / Download”. To access the file system, you need a standard app shipped with the operating system, e.g. “File Manager” ( Android 4.2.1 ), “My Pad” ( Android 4.1.1 ).

  • In German:
    • Öffne “Kamera” auf Deinem Android-Gerät.

Photo and Video Saving to ( external ) SD Card on Android 12

Ejecting a USB Stick
  • Androidphonesoft "How to eject usb from android?". WARNING: This advice didn't work for me, properly :-(.
    1. Open your device’s Settings app.
    2. Tap Storage.
    3. Tap the name of the USB storage device you want to remove ( Android13: select a device by the green selector ( “Dieses Gerät”, “SD-Karte”, ( FAT32 disk name of the USB drive ) ).
    4. Tap Eject ( Android 13: Select “Eject” in the burger menu with 3 dots on right corner ).
  • Alternatively, shutdown the smartphone.

Secure Folder

Locked Folder ( General Google Android Feature )
Secure Folder ( Motorola Android only )
Secure Folder ( Samsung Android only )
    • “The folder is protected by the defence-grade Samsung Knox security platform, which encrypts all data stored there, making sure that your information is kept safe from any malicious attacks”.
    • “Zum besseren Verständnis: Damit ist nicht die Knox App gemeint... Die Funktion Sicherer Ordner ist ein separater und lokaler Speicherort. Es ist nicht möglich, Daten auf andere Geräte über nicht genehmigte Freigabemethoden wie beispielsweise Wi-Fi Direct oder USB zu übertragen. Die Daten lassen sich also nicht aus dem sicheren Ordner über einen Computer auslesen. Bei inoffiziellen Anpassungen der Software oder des Betriebssystems wird die Funktion Sicherer Ordner automatisch gesperrt. Sichere deine Daten daher bitte zusätzlich an einem anderen Ort”. Um sicherzustellen, dass deine Daten so sicher wie möglich bleiben, kannst du den Sicheren Ordner auch mit einem Passwort oder einem biometrischen Schloss schützen”.

  • Experts told me: Smartphones with 2 back cameras - which is standard with AR enabled smartphones - may provide “depth sensor technology” ( “Tiefensensorik” ), which is a must to detect the architecture of a given space, e.g. a room. By this, applications may use the smartphone like a 3D laser scanner.
