    Great video. I got a message about my package being delayed because of a bad address. Without thinking I clicked on it and was about to put in my address when I thought I should check it out. Thankfully I didn't go any further but was still worried they may have installed malware or something. Thanks, I feel much better. I deleted everything that I didn't recognize. I don't really use my phone for business. I am elderly and still use my computer mostly. I do use my phone when I am traveling. I followed your video the best that I could.

    10:06 this is why my phone was so slow. Every single time i would use google, i didnt know it would make a tab that i have to delete since im on a phone not a computer. And when i opened the tabs, there were billions of tabs that i never closed.

      ​@@PayetteForwardThank you, I thought I had a virus on my Android bc I downloaded a app saying that it has virus and I deleted it just today, Went to phone security then it usually says that I have 3 virus on my phone, I scan then it says no risk found, did everything shown in this video, found no virus i guess it was a glitch. Was also very confused bc none of theses happened to me expect phone getting hot only when I charge but it's like not super hot it's a little hot, found no problem

    Does the android phone get infected without installing the software that is suspected of being a virus? (I mean if only the file is downloaded without installing it)? In general, any file with any extension can infect the mobile phone without installing it?

    it's sad for those who use android cellphones or tablets, you only get security updates for 3 - 5 years on android phones and then you can't update anymore unlike iPhone even if you already have an iPhone. use for a decade, you still have security updates of one to three updates a year.

    Hello. Yesterday, I noticed that the sound on my iPhone 13 suddenly sounds worse and quieter. I thought it was a hardware problem, but it happens even when I connect my Airpods or any others headphones. I think it's a software problem. Can you guys help me and tell me how to solve this issue?

    • @harperistired69
      @harperistired69 Год назад

      In my opinion, it depends on how old your phone is and how often you use it. Sometimes phones (and other electronic devices) behave strangely because they're old or they're being overused.
      If I were you, I'd try rebooting your phone (if you haven't done so already).
      If that doesn't work, try to visit an electronics store and ask an actual professional to help you. (Not trying to be rude- english isn't my native language, so I can sound weird sometimes.)
      Sorry if these advices don't help. I'm not an IT expert or anything, I'm just someone who happens to know some things about device security and how phones work. (from my personal experiences and by doing some research).
      Have a nice day.
      (I noticed your comment is 6 months old. I hope it's been solved by now!)

    New phone for me, S21 Ulta and I checked all these things. The battery drains quickly, most days.
    I'm unsure how to adjust the sync rate, overall, let alone what the Operating system does in Samsung.
    When I turn off sync, battery charger mellows. Yet, the phone is still busy.
    There is Something running, just cannot figure out what or where.
    I liked my old Samsung better, allowed me control for only syncing once an hour. And the operation in the background was more user visible.
    Thanks for the video. 😊
    Following along, I found some settings were changed.
    Seems after a few updates, that 2 or 3 things reactivated. Bad Samsung!

I use RUclips a lot, 2. I don't use the stock RUclips app, I use RUclips ReVanced Extended, 3. My battery is degrading because it's 6 years old 💀

      Someone may have been using a malware worm, I recommend getting off of your network while it's charging or keep it off all of the time. Also, try getting a trusted anti-virus by a very trusted engineer. And if that was not what it was then I really have no idea, alot of stuff like this happens but maybe it's a virus that can spread to the devices around them.
