Beat Saber was a significant draw in attracting fans into VR for a long time. The ability to swing lightsaber blades to the beat of popular music is a significant draw in and of itself. After a year of waiting, a feature that was previously available for the rhythm and music VR game on PC via SteamVR and Oculus is now available for PlayStation VR users.
Beat Saber was published on May 1, 2018, and developer Beat Games Studio has continued to support the game with free content and updates for the past two and a half years. On Twitter and the PlayStation Official Blog, Beat Games announced the availability of the new multiplayer function, saying that fans could start playing right away. While the new multiplayer feature is available as a free update, it will require a PlayStation Plus subscription to play.
After a disheartening Beat Saber multiplayer delay, fans were pleasantly relieved to see that the multiplayer option is now available. Last year, the PC version of Beat Saber’s multiplayer game was released, and it included crossplay features.
At the time, Beat Games said it was “exploring what’s possible.” While there is presently no crossplay between the PSVR and PC versions, today’s tweet also stated “currently not supported,” suggesting that Beat Saber’s cross-play between the PC and PS4 versions may come at a later date.
Beat Saber for PSVR will receive all of the same upgrades that SteamVR and Oculus users have been receiving for the past year. Quickplay or a private server can now be used to join multiplayer matches with up to five total players, and that’s only the beginning. After a game, the update will feature all player stats, as well as a winner standing on a podium (and a fireworks display). After the match, multiplayer badges will be awarded in categories ranging from most exact to slowest.
Beat Saber also released a Halloween special as part of this update. Jaroslav Beck has released a brand new free tune called “Spooky Beat,” which will be set in a Halloween setting. Fans will be able to customize their avatar’s colors in order to stand out in the looby and multiplayer arenas. Any song from the Beat Saber PSVR soundtrack, as well as the newest Halloween song and DLC music packs from artists like Linkin Park and others, can be chosen.
Call of Duty: Vanguard appears to be a high-octane new installment in the long-running FPS franchise. Aside from the PlayStation-exclusive content, gamers wanting to play Call of Duty: Vanguard on PS5 may look forward to several new DualSense capabilities.
For nearly two decades, Call of Duty has dominated the console FPS industry, attracting millions of gamers annually with its precise gunplay and military look. In Call of Duty, the speed with which someone can pull the trigger can spell the difference between success and failure, and with last year’s Black Ops Cold War on PS5, this took on a whole new meaning.
The pioneering DualSense controller transformed the simple act of playing into an experience in and of itself, as the controller’s rumble effects matched what was happening in-game, and different weapons required varying degrees of pressure to pull the trigger.
Sledgehammer Games explains how Call of Duty: Vanguard will utilize the DualSense controller on PS5 in a new PlayStation Blog post. The paper is written by Chris Fowler, Principal Engineer at Sledgehammer Games, and it focuses on “the art of the trigger pull” and “battle experiences.”
Sledgehammer Games used the DualSense’s adaptable triggers to adjust the amount of pressure required during the “break” of the trigger pull, as well as imitate the weight of lifting a weapon while aiming-down-sights. However, the DualSense’s adaptive trigger settings can be disabled in the settings if desired.
In terms of “fighting feelings,” Sledgehammer Games has made the DualSense a vital aspect of the game’s immersion. “The player will feel the action happening around them pulse through their hands and traverse up their arms with the help of haptic feedback in the DualSense controller,” Fowler writes.
They give some examples, such as experiencing the cracking of debris surrounding the player when shooting from cover, or powerful and pinpoint rumbles coursing through the controller while the Luftwaffe guns down on the player as in the Stalingrad Call of Duty: Vanguard clip.
These DualSense features should be familiar to PS5 players who played Black Ops Cold War, as they were available in identical versions there. Returnal and Astro’s Playroom have demonstrated the DualSense’s rumbling capabilities, such as the light, snappy taps of sprinting on metal, or feeling the wind in the controller with directionality; it appears that Vanguard will continue to develop these concepts.
Vanguard’s decision to make its trigger effects optional is also a wise one, as some players may not value the immersive features of the game, and this has had a negative effect on how some players perform.
As the official release date for Horizon Forbidden West approaches, Sony is beginning to divulge more details. In a recent PlayStation Blog article, some of Guerrilla Games’ devs go into detail on Aloy’s new gear and powers, combat styles, and difficulties in Horizon Forbidden West.
Bo deVries, Guerilla’s Community Lead, wrote the blog post, which goes into great length about the studio’s aims while creating Horizon Forbidden West and what they expect fans to accomplish in the world. Guerrilla Games is putting more emphasis on dynamic interactions and providing additional layers for players to navigate, combat, and solve puzzles.
Aloy’s newest gadgets, the Pullcaster and the Shieldwing, are discussed in depth in this post. Not only may Aloy use the Pullcaster to grab onto higher constructs, but it can also be utilized as a winch to pull down some of the world’s structures. This adds a new strategy to solving puzzles or combating opponents.
Although the Pullcaster appears to be a fun addition to Aloy’s arsenal, it was not the only one mentioned in the piece. Horizon Zero Dawn had a habit of allowing players to plummet down from high cliffs and structures via specified grappling locations.
When there were none, it was either a clumsy scurry down the side of a mountain or a quick escape. The Shieldwing will make falling from high objects without a grappling point easier and more graceful. The Shieldwing will also play a role in the battle, as it can provide Aloy with extra attack-from-above options when used in conjunction with the Pullcaster.
Aloy’s Valor Surges were also mentioned in the blog post. According to Dennis Zopfi, Lead Battle Designer, there will be a total of 12 that will have diverse purposes in a variety of combat settings. Valor Surges will have levels that improve the ability’s explosive output.
The “Valor Bar,” the purple bar initially seen in the May 2021 gameplay reveal film, will charge by hitting enemy weak places and ripping off armor, according to Zopfi. Higher Valor Surge levels will, of course, require more charge, but the payout will be enormous when it’s completely full.
The Tenakth, a new faction in Horizon Forbidden West, can also control machinery. This presents Aloy with a fresh task. Because humans may operate a big group of machines simultaneously, the “humanoid encounters,” as Dennis Zopfi puts it, will require an extra element of strategy to defeat:
The primary takeaway from the blog post is that Horizon Forbidden West has improved on its predecessor in ways that will provide fans with more dynamic options in all aspects of the game, including exploration, traversal, and combat. This, combined with the new Forbidden West area and the secrets it conceals, adds to the anticipation for the sequel.
Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms these days. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, Instagram was specifically developed to be an image-sharing platform where you post photos for all your followers to see. It’s a great way to share what you’ve been up to and to post what you’ve been eating or where you’ve been.
Of course, you have the option to add a caption for each photo that you post on the platform. Captions are important because it’s another way for you to draw attention to your posts. If you have a funny or awesome caption, there’s a much higher chance that people will interact and engage with your post.
That’s why in this article, we’ve compiled and categorized different quotes and captions that you can use on your Instagram posts. Check them out below!

Sometimes, school can get really boring, especially during your vacant hours or if your teacher doesn’t show up for class. Doesn’t matter if you’re still in high school or in college—we all have those dull days where nothing interesting seems to be happening. During such days, don’t you just want to play silly but entertaining games on your laptop or school computers?
Unfortunately, most websites are blocked by schools or universities, so you might have some trouble accessing fun websites. But believe it or not, there are actually a couple of unblocked gaming sites out there that can provide several hours of entertainment for you when you’re bored.
Of course, we don’t recommend that you browse these sites when you’re in the middle of class or work, as you could end up getting in trouble. Without further ado, here are some of the best unblocked sites for gaming that can help you kill boredom for hours.
1. Atari Breakout
Atari Breakout is a highly popular retro game. If you haven’t played it before, then we highly recommend that you do. In fact, did you know that you can play Atari Breakout on Google itself? This may come as a surprise, but Google has a couple of hidden games that you can play for fun, and Atari Breakout is one of them.
All you need to do is go to Google Image Search and type in ‘Atari Breakout’ into the search bar. From there, the game will show up and you’ll be able to play this awesome classic title.

2. Minesweeper
If you’re familiar with the apps and programs on a Windows computer, then you’re probably already quite familiar with Minesweeper. It’s a built-in game within Windows and has been popular since its launch in the 1960s. Minesweeper is all about passing the level without detonating any of the mines or bombs secretly hidden within the board.
3. Google Games
Not many people know this, but Google Chrome has an extension called Google Games that allows you to play various games on your computer even while at school. The extension is managed by none other than Google, so it’s highly unlikely that your school or university will block it. Whether you enjoy RPG, multiplayer, action, racing, and more, Google Games will have something for you that you’ll surely enjoy.
4. Surviv.io for Chrome
IO games are incredibly popular these days, so you’ve probably heard of some of its other versions. In this case, Google Chrome has another game-related extension called Surviv.io, and it will allow you to play this fun battle royale on your Chrome browser.
5. Scratch
Scratch, otherwise known as Scratch.mit.edu, is another popular gaming website that is unblocked by most educational establishments. To be more specific, Scratch is more of an educational website where you can learn how to program games. However, you have the option to try out the available games on the site, so you can still have fun while learning at the same time.
What makes Scratch even more interesting is that you can listen to music on the platform. So, if you want to listen to some jams instead of playing games during your free time, this is still a great site to check out.

6. Armor Games
If you’re looking for game options at school, then you may want to check out Armor Games. This is a fantastic gaming site that usually isn’t blocked by educational institutions. Armor Games has a wide variety of titles in different genres, so you’ll definitely have a blast here. Plus, the site’s developers are constantly updating the list of games, so it’s worth checking every now and then for more games.
7. Unblocked Games Pod

There’s a wide collection of games here on this site, and you should have no problem trying out the various titles even though Adobe Flash Player has been discontinued. It’s an extremely easy site to use, so much so that even kids won’t have a problem navigating the platform.
8. HoodaMath
Lastly, we have a fantastic site for math lovers out there who enjoys mind-boggling games that help them practice their math skills. Most schools don’t block HoodaMath.com because it’s more of an education site rather than a gaming site. There are various math-related puzzles and games available, so it’s a suitable site to check out while in school.
Conclusion
With these websites, you’ll never feel boredom at school ever again. If you find yourself having a free period and you don’t have any pending homework, feel free to take out your laptop and try out any one of these sites. Some of them are even educational so you won’t feel bad about playing games at school.
WiFi has seeped into each and every one of our lives, so much so that most of us can’t imagine our lives without the internet. So, what happens when your WiFi suddenly keeps disconnecting? This can be a major problem, especially when you’re in the middle of work or a school project, as losing connection could cause a delay and a whole lot of frustration.
If you’re personally experiencing this issue where you keep losing your internet connection, we’re here to help. In this article, you’ll learn about all the different ways you can remedy the issue. With these tips, you’ll never have to worry about your WiFi disconnecting again.
What Causes the WiFi to Disconnect Randomly?
You’re probably wondering what’s causing this error to occur, but unfortunately, there’s no exact reason that we can pinpoint. People experience this error for varying reasons, and it definitely depends from system to system. There’s a range of possible reasons causing your WiFi to keep disconnecting—from potential router issues to computer hardware issues.
The best way to fix the issue is by trying out the methods from simplest to hardest. But before anything else, try the most basic troubleshooting steps first. For instance, try connecting other devices to your WiFi and see if there are no issues. This can help you determine whether the problem is your device or the router.

How to Fix The “WiFi Keeps Disconnecting” Error
1. Forget and Reconnect Your WiFi
The first and simplest method you can try is to forget your WiFi network on your device and then reconnect to it. This fix works most of the time, as it helps refresh your connection. Some may think it’s too simple, but it’s worth a shot.
To do this, all you need to do is click on your internet connection name. Then, click on the new option that says Forget. This will remove your WiFi from your device’s saved list of connections.
From there, go ahead and click on your internet connection again. Type in your password and establish the connection once more. Observe your connection and see if your WiFi still continues to disconnect randomly.
2. Move Close to Where Your Router Is Located
This second method may seem like a no-brainer, but it has actually helped countless people resolve their internet problems. Besides, you won’t lose anything by trying this method, and who knows? It might just be the answer to all your problems.
So, if you’re experiencing issues with your internet connection, it might be because your device is struggling to reach your WiFi signal, causing it to disconnect constantly. Try moving closer to where your router is located in order to establish a much stronger connection with your WiFi. This has done the trick for many people.
3. Reset Your Router and Reboot Your Device
Believe it or not, but simply resetting and restarting both your system and router can do wonders for your internet connection.

4. Use the Network Troubleshooter
If you’re a Windows user, the system actually has a built-in automated network troubleshooter that can help you fix any internet connectivity issues you may be experiencing. To use this network troubleshooter, follow the steps below:
Simultaneously press the Windows key and the C key.
On the search bar, type in troubleshooting and tap on the option that appears.
From there, search for Network Troubleshooting and click on it to launch the troubleshooter.
Windows will then try to look for the problem and try to fix it.
5. Change Your Network Profile to Private
Check your network profile and if it’s listed as Public, make sure to switch it to Private. This is especially important for Windows 10 users, as the system automatically disconnects your computer from public WiFi after some time for security reasons.
Tap on the WiFi symbol and choose the name of your connection.
Click on Properties.
Select Private.
This should change your network profile to Private right away.
6. Change the Power Management Settings
Lastly, if none of the other methods mentioned above work, there’s a chance that your PC or laptop is constantly disconnecting from the WiFi in order to save power. While this is a great feature that can help you save significant battery life, it can also be annoying when it automatically disconnects your WiFi. Fortunately, there’s a way to disable this feature.
To do so, follow these steps:
Go to your WiFi icon and right-click on it.
Tap on the option that says “Open network and sharing center.”
Then, select Change Adaptor Settings. This should be located on the left side.
Look for your specific adaptor. Right-click on it to get to the Properties.
Tap on the Configure option.
Select the Power Management tab and ensure that the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is unchecked.
Tap on OK.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, if none of the methods mentioned above work, this could be a clear indicator that there may be something wrong with your network card or router. In that case, you may have no option except to replace it with something new.
But for the most part, as long as your router doesn’t have any issues, most of the steps above should work for you.
You might be wondering what else is available besides Netflix and Hulu, whether you’ve been streaming for a while or just recently cut the cord. Unlike these subscription-based streaming services with limited video collections, Mobdro gathers content for free from a wide range of online sources.
Simply said, Mobdro is a free online streaming service that allows users to watch live TV from third-party sources.
This one-of-a-kind tool continually scours the internet for free streams and makes them available on your Android TV or mobile device. Users can even download TV series, movies, and other media to watch offline on their Android device.
Mobdro may be the answer for folks who enjoy watching videos online but don’t want to pay for streaming subscriptions.
What Is This App?
Mobdro has a number of unique features that set it apart from other streaming apps.
The following are some of the most notable features:
Mobdro offers unlimited content, with over 100 TV stations divided into 12 categories.
Fewer Commercials – When compared to other streaming services, Mobdro users will see fewer ads. The premium edition provides an ad-free watching experience.
Offline Downloads – Mobdro allows users to download content while they are not connected to the internet.
Despite the fact that Mobdro is free, the creators continue to give support and actively resolve bugs.
Simple Search & Save – Mobdro videos can be sorted by topic and language. Videos can be bookmarked as well.
Advantage and Disadvantages
The ability to view any video broadcast on the internet is one of Modbro’s main advantages. As a result, Mobdro has one of the most extensive databases available.
Despite the fact that the broadcasts are filtered from the internet, you do not require an active internet connection to view them. Free online content can be downloaded and viewed offline. You can alter the video resolution to match your preferences, just as with other streaming providers.
The user interface is simple to use, and the application installation process takes only a few minutes. There are, of course, certain drawbacks to using Mobdro.
Only a few systems are supported by Mobdro, the most popular of which are Android and Android TV. As a result, you won’t be able to install it on your iOS device. Additionally, it contains some copyright-protected content, which could lead to legal problems.
Finally, you’ll have to deal with advertising with the free version unless you enable Mobdro to use your idle system resources.
How Does Mobdro Work?
Mobdro provides users with access to video feeds from all around the world in many languages. Although the app offers a variety of streams, not all of them are always available. The streams may change from day to day, so don’t plan on seeing a specific channel every day.
Player history is available, however, so you can keep track of the streams you enjoy. You may also share video recommendations with others to let them know what you’re watching.
If you’re looking for something specific, you can try Thoptv, Morph TV, Tea TV, Cyberflix TV, and Terrarium TV, which are all alternatives to Mobdro.
Is It Safe?
Mobdro is a third-party software that leaves a device vulnerable to attacks from hazardous APK files, unlike apps on the Google Play Store, which are checked for viruses and other malicious files.
However, when downloaded from the official website, Mobdro has been judged quite safe. Mobdro’s security is also determined by how you use the software.
If you simply use it to stream completely free video from reliable websites, there isn’t anything to be concerned about. Avoid streaming illegal content that could jeopardize your security or put you in legal trouble.
Also keep in mind that your internet service provider (ISP) monitors your online activities, and downloading or streaming pirated or copyrighted information could get you in hot water.
While we wish it were easy to rediscover ancient games, getting your hands on an old title you want to play again is usually either impossible or too expensive. Emulation comes into play here. Sony released the PlayStation Classic, but it only comes with 20 of the top PS1 titles and isn’t capable of running anything else.
What if you wish to play a game that wasn’t included in the list? Emulators provide you access to the complete PlayStation game library, allowing you to play all of the top titles available on the previous system. Most of these will run on Android or PC, but a few will also run on Mac and Linux.
If you conduct a short search, you will discover that there are numerous emulators to select from. Take a look at our list of the best PS1 emulators if you’re having trouble deciding which one to try. We’re confident you’ll discover one that suits you.
ePSXe
ePSXe is a one-stop-shop for great PS1 emulation and is one of the most well-known and trustworthy PlayStation emulators for Android. Original PlayStation games may be played with a PS3 or PS4 controller for a more natural experience, thanks to customizable controls and controller support across all platforms.
OpenGL improved graphics are supported by ePSXe, as well as a split-screen option for local multiplayer games. It features save and load states, just like most emulators, so you can pick up just where you left off. It’s free on PC, Mac, and Linux, and you can get it from the official ePSXe website, but it’ll set you back $3.75 on the Google Play Store if you want to use it on Android.
ePSXe used to be updated on a regular basis, but not much has changed since 2016. ePSXe is a legacy emulator that is still one of the best, despite being basically stagnant and final at this time.
Mednafen
Mednafen, formerly known as Nintencer, is a multi-system emulator that adds PlayStation functionality. Its emulation is centered on precision, and it has a save state feature. Mednafen is extremely complex to set up while surpassing the PSX in accuracy tests. Because the emulator lacks a graphical user interface, it relies on frontend GUIs like mednaffe and medgui reborn.
For starters, mednafen adds support for ISO files and uses a command-line interface. Users can start a game on mednafen by dragging and dropping the.cue file onto mednafen.exe. You may configure player 1 controller by pressing Shift+Alt+1, and you can toggle fullscreen by pressing Alt+Enter.
FPSE
In this ranking of the finest PS1 emulators, FPSE comes in second. It’s a PlayStation emulator for Android that works on almost all smartphones and has more customization choices than a Cyberpunk 2077 character.
FPSE is ideal for anyone seeking for a simple emulator that doesn’t require any fiddling. It runs all of the finest PS1 games smoothly and includes all of the standard features like save states and controller support.
FPSE, on the other hand, has a slew of complex capabilities that allow gamers to turn it into the ultimate custom PS1 emulator. They’re not required, but they’re an excellent addition for those who wish to go deeper into the program. Play around with the graphics options to make your games even more appealing!
Although BIOS files are required to run the app for the first time, every game can be customized.
ClassicBoy
ClassicBoy is a multi-platform emulator that lets you play games from the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Pokemon Mini, Sega Genesis, and Atari 2600 VCS.
ClassicBoy simulates a D-pad and properly adjusts tilt parameters using the smartphone’s sensor. It integrates motions with the gamepad. Eight swipe patterns can be recognized on either side of the screen, and each pattern can be assigned to a game button.
Each button’s size and location can be customized using the layout editor. For up to four players, the emulator allows key mapping.
RetroArch
RetroArch isn’t an emulator in the traditional sense. It’s a “frontend” that allows you to keep a collection of emulators in one convenient location. The emulation cores for PSX are from Mednafen, so if you’re having difficulties utilizing Mednafen as a standalone product, this is an excellent one to try. RetroArch’s best feature is that it’s NetPlay compatible, which means it can play some games online.
To play games on it, you’ll need to download BIOS files, just like Mednafen. RetroArch is compatible with most home consoles, despite the fact that we only specified four platforms above. However, in order to use RetroArch, you may need to modify your console, which we do not advocate. RetroArch for Android is available for download from the Google Play Store. Users on other platforms should visit the RetroArch official website.
XEBRA
Xebra, sometimes known as Arbex, is a PlayStation emulator developed in Japan that can run a variety of PSone games at a respectable pace. The application runs smoothly on Windows and is also available for Android. Xebra focuses on precise PSX console emulation and does not require any plugins.
The emulator produces visual, audio, and motion output in native resolution, which can be choppy at times. Xebra can run popular PS1 titles like Megaman and Resident Evil 2 despite its lack of a user interface. It is one of the few Playstation emulators that is PocketStation compatible.
PCSX Reloaded
In this list of the greatest PS1 emulators, PCSX-Reloaded is ranked second. It’s a reliable and straightforward emulator that can handle everything from Crash Team Racing to Spyro.
PCSX was initially released in the year 2000. Following that, the developers created PCSX2, the finest of the best PS2 emulators. After being picked up by retro gaming aficionados, the reloaded PS1 application debuted in 2009 and runs flawlessly.
It’s a breeze to use this emulator. It can also be connected to DualShock controllers for the ultimate throwback PS1 experience. In our opinion, an emulator that works with one of the best PS1 accessories ever created is a victory!
Duckstation
DuckStation prioritizes playability, quickness, and long-term upkeep. Its goal is to recreate the game as closely as possible while retaining a high level of performance.
ISO, MDS, CHD, ECM, and unencrypted PBP game images are all supported by the app. You must convert or re-dump any games that are in other formats.
It works with devices that are 64-bit x86 and 32-bit/64-bit ARM. On 32-bit ARM machines, however, the emulator will not work well. For good performance, you’ll need at least a 1.5 GHz processor. A mid-range device is required for high upscaling (more significant than 2x).
BizHawk
Bizhawk is a Mednafen-powered emulator that is ideal for more laid-back gamers. Its underlying allure is its ability to run fast. BizHawk allows speedrunners to use tools that change the gameplay for retro game runs. BizHawk comes with many preprogrammed help skills that gamers can use to tweak their game settings until they’re happy.
It includes capabilities like rewinding (presumably for practice purposes) and recording devices. BizHawk is compatible with dozens of platforms in addition to PlayStation. If you want to speedrun on your PC, BizHawk is a great place to start.
Matsu

What is Android Device Manager, exactly? Android has a fantastic native function that allows you to track down and remotely wipe a lost or stolen phone. To preserve security, we use passwords, patterns, or fingerprints to lock our phones, but what if someone tries to tamper with it or is stolen?
Don’t worry; all you have to do is allow Android Device Manager to unlock your phone. It only has to be enabled on your phone for this to work (before you unluckily locked yourself out of it). Android Device Manager unlocks your phone in a matter of seconds, saving you time and aggravation.
Furthermore, the Android Device Manager unlocks your password/pin-encrypted phone if you accidentally forget the passcode. The technique is straightforward; all you need is a Google account to set it up on your phone, and then you can use any other online device to hunt down your lost or stolen phone or even wipe all of its data. Phew!
What is Android Device Manager Lock?
Google’s Android Device Manager is similar to Apple’s Find My iPhone. Simply go to google.com/android/devicemanager on your computer and search through your list of devices that are already connected to your Google account to enable the ADM. Once you’ve arrived, you may easily send a notification to the phone on which you wish to allow remote password application and wiping.
ADM also has a collection of functions that assist you in unlocking your Android device. If your phone is lost or stolen, it not only helps you discover it, but it also helps you ring it, lock it, and wipe and erase all of your data. Once your phone is located, you can access all of these settings by logging into the ADM website from your computer. In the event that your phone is lost or stolen, it is a prudent decision to have it locked using Android Device Manager.
Only certain circumstances allow Android Device Manager to unlock your phone.
First and foremost, Android Device Manager must be enabled on your phone before it is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised.
Second, ADM can only track your phone if the GPS option is turned on.
Finally, in order to log into your Google account, the device you’re using for ADM must be connected to Wi-Fi or the internet.
Finally, Android Device Manager isn’t compatible with all versions of Android. For the time being, it is only compatible with Android 4.4 and higher smartphones, therefore your phone must fall into this group in order for ADM to work.

Many users have complained that when they tried to use ADM to unlock their locked device, they received an error message that said, “because Google has verified that a screen lock is already set.” This error message basically says that you won’t be able to unlock your phone using Android Device Manager because of a Google issue, not your phone’s.
What Can I Do If Android Device Manager locks my Phone?
You’ll need to know how to unlock the Android Device Manager lock in two situations: one, if you’ve forgotten your screen lock passcode, and the other, if Android Device Manager has locked your phone.
ADM is designed to secure your device, preventing unauthorized access completely. So, if Android Device Manager has locked your phone, you may have a problem. While Android Device Manager is a fantastic tool for locking your phone or erasing and wiping data if it is stolen or lost, most customers have claimed that they are unable to unlock their phones that ADM has locked.
Adding a temporary password using Google login and overcoming the ADM lock could be a solution. You can also try resetting the password by using ADM and typing a new password. If that doesn’t work, there are a number of third-party software available on the internet that can help you remove the Android Device Manager lock completely.
Now you know how to get the Android Device Manager lock unlocked. Keep in mind that in order to log into your Google account, your device must be linked to the internet or Wi-Fi.
Smartphones, like humans, are capable of incredible feats—but if they’re continually racing ahead at full speed, they’ll burn out rapidly. And there’s nothing worse than looking down at your phone and realizing the battery is about to die—or, even worse, that it’s already dead.
Check out these strategies for ensuring your phone battery never dies before you get to the point when you’re anxiously looking for an outlet or someone nearby who has a charger.
Basic Fixes
Reduce the brightness.
Turning down the screen brightness is one of the simplest ways to extend your battery life. I know this is a no-brainer, but decreasing the brightness has been proven to make a difference. So, if you haven’t already, make the switch immediately! It’s also a good idea to turn on “Auto-brightness” so that the screen dims automatically when you’re in a dark environment.
Keep an eye on your apps.
Many popular apps, especially those with a lot of graphics or audio, are notorious energy hogs. Video games are the worst offenders, especially free versions with commercials, so keep Angry Birds for when you’re near an outlet.
Also, rather than just minimizing your apps, remember to close them. Apps that run in the background invisibly can drain your battery. To do so, double-tap the home button to view what apps are currently running, then press and hold one of the icons until it begins to wiggle. To close an app icon, tap the “-” sign in the top left corner.
Obtain a Battery-Saving App.
If you’ve stopped playing games completely, but your battery is still draining, it’s possible that other apps are to blame. Use an app like BetterBatteryStats or Battery HD+ to track your phone’s performance over several days and determine which apps are the most draining on your battery.
Disconnect from the Internet using Wi-Fi.
When you turn on your Wi-Fi, your phone goes to work searching for a hotspot. While connecting to the nearest Wi-Fi connection can save you money on your data plan, it can also deplete your battery. Turn off the Wi-Fi and only use it when absolutely necessary.
Airplane Mode should be enabled.
Switching to airplane mode isn’t just for when you’re flying over friendly skies—also, it’s a wonderful method to save battery life when you’re in a hurry. You won’t be able to make or receive calls, text messages, or connect to the Internet, but it’s an excellent way to save battery power for when you really need it.
When you’re in a circumstance where you don’t have service (like underground on the metro), you can use airplane mode to keep your phone from depleting itself, attempting to get a signal.
Advanced Fixes
Location Services must be removed.
GPS technology is used to locate your exact location by location services. Allowing your smartphone to track your location is quite helpful when navigating in a new region (or checking in on Foursquare), but it can also be a power drain. Make sure the location service is turned off and only use it when absolutely necessary.
Get Your Personal Email Address
When your phone is continually scanning for new emails, it gradually loses steam. Give your phone a break by retrieving your own email or reducing the frequency with which it retrieves data.
Reduce the number of apps that receive push notifications.
Receiving an immediate notification when you receive a new Facebook message or a new Twitter mention might be a terrific way to keep connected while on the go. However, if you receive a large number of them, your battery will suffer. Turn off or limit your notifications to only the most important apps (i.e., not Words with Friends).
If you’re always on the road, a case that also serves as a phone charger is a good investment. There are a variety of cases available that can store a full charge and double the life of your battery, and you can turn them on for a burst of power anytime you need it.
