What is nearby in huawei phone. What applications can be disabled or uninstalled on android without consequences using the Samsung Galaxy as an example. Ways to create a network using this technology

buy new smartphone, turn it on, and there is already a bunch of unnecessary programs. It can be difficult to understand what these applications are for and whether they can be safely removed or disabled. When I purchased , from 32 gigabytes internal memory was free around ten. The rest of the space was occupied by pre-installed programs.

In this article I will tell you which applications can be disabled on Android without any consequences. I will not consider the removal of system software, because in most cases this requires root access. If you decide to get root, the Debloater program will easily cope with the removal task. You can download it on the play store or w3bsit3-dns.com.

I collected device data samsung galaxy(since I own one of them) to a summary table of applications that do not affect the phone's performance (with a description). And you decide what to do with them. But disabling or removing unnecessary junk will help increase the speed of your mobile phone.

I draw your attention to the fact that if you click the "stop" button, the program may subsequently restart automatically. And if you "disable" it does not restart until you turn it on manually. Some cannot be disabled or removed.

"Mordokniga" pays smartphone manufacturers to sew the application into the firmware. The mobile client allows you to keep abreast of the events of your friends all the time, track likes, and annoyingly notifies you about every sneeze. At the same time, he eats a lot of resources and continuously drains the battery. Unfortunately, in my Samsung this infection is not removed. But it can be turned off, which I immediately did, since I don’t use this social network at all. If there is a special need, I can temporarily activate the application.

Weather apps

Weather widget - also often built into operating system phone. It worked for me for 3 months, and then stopped updating the data. From this program, I always need only two parameters: air temperature and precipitation. If you need meteorological maps and other little things, then you do not need to uninstall the program. In other cases, it is desirable to get rid of an unnecessary gluttonous application that tries to connect to the server every minute. I couldn't do it on the A5.

You can always check the weather by looking out the window. And if you need a forecast, Google is a good predictor.

Antivirus programs

You need an antivirus if your phone is rooted, you are constantly experimenting and installing dubious hacked applications from unknown sources. Otherwise, such protection is not required. The antivirus will also eat up memory and slow down the system unnecessarily.

If you have any suspicions, install an antivirus and, after checking, remove it. My phone has a built-in one that I also disabled.

Clean Master and other system optimizers

Software for "accelerating" the phone, contrary to expectations, slows down the device. Miracles do not happen, despite the assurances of the developers of these programs. Most "purifiers" only harm. On my Samsung A5 2017, there is an “Optimization” section in the settings, where everything happens at the touch of a button. Most phones have tools to clear the cache and leftover software. And additional programs installation is not required.

default browser

Almost every self-respecting phone manufacturer develops and implements its own Internet browser into the firmware. It may contain spyware or sponsored links. But even if they are not there, this does not mean that the browser is good. Disable it or delete it.

Best to install Google Chrome- simple and fast browser. If you care about privacy and do not want to clutter up your phone space with accumulating cache, your Firefox choice focus, private browser leaving no trace.

For the rest of the applications, I compiled a small table. Here is everything that can be disabled without consequences for the operation of Android.

A note about updates

Suppose you did not turn off anything - let them work for themselves. Automatic shutdown background applications helps to avoid rapid battery discharge. But these programs are still being updated! And devour in this case not RAM, but internal. Therefore, I went ahead and disabled auto-updates through the Play Store. I regularly manually update only those applications that I actually use.

Only people who are far from high technology have never heard of iBeacon. This feature appeared on devices with the release of iOS 7. It allows you to send notifications to the i-gadget user when he approaches a particular place. Most clearly, the capabilities of iBeacon are demonstrated in the video.

It looks like Google is preparing to introduce a similar service. The network got information about the Nearby function, which will be available with the new Google update play services. When you first turn on the user will meet the text:

Nearby lets you stay connected, share information, and gives you more ways to interact with the people, places, and things around you.

When Nearby is turned on, Google can enable microphone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more on all of your current and future devices. This is required by Google+ and other services to help you share information, stay connected, and more.

Activating Nearby will enable "Location History" for your account, as well as "Location Sharing" for your device. Google needs these services in order to store your information in order to fully use Nearby and other Google services.

The main feature of Nearby is that this function on the device can operate independently, regardless of the user. Your Android device will automatically turn on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other necessary communication modules. How, then, to hide from the "big brother"? The user will be able to choose what data to share with Google. Information will be collected simultaneously from several devices and stored only on the company's servers.

The only information that will be available to other devices is data on the approach / distance from a particular place. For example, when entering a store where there is free wifi, the device can turn on itself, as well as signal the presence of various discounts / promotions with a simple notification.

Sounds pretty promising. Now imagine that the smartphone will understand when you are at home and independently turn on Wi-Fi, turn off mobile data and display a list of latest news. This use case is just a small part of what Nearby can open up for us. This feature is likely to be introduced at the upcoming Google I/O on June 25th.

To date, there are several technologies for the transmission and interaction of these devices over a network. All of them are unique. But companies and device manufacturers do not stand still. Google Corporation recently announced the creation new technology, which they nicknamed Nearby. It greatly simplifies the use of Android devices and provides new features. Those who have already noticed information about Nearby are interested in what it is and how it works.

Nearby is a broadband wireless and encrypted connection between devices that works on the P2P principle and does not require any data to connect to the Internet. It independently determines the parameters for connection and creates an encrypted channel for all devices nearby. Differs in a stable signal and reliable connection.

This function is also translated as "My environment". Action wireless network extends within a radius of 30 meters, allowing you to search and interact with various services. The feature will appear on Android 4.2 and above devices. On some devices, it is only available with version 8.0. For communication, the technology uses Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Google Nearby is able to respond to other devices (within its radius), places, objects or people. Thus, with the help of the function, the barriers between devices are erased, as well as the expansion of the boundaries of Android.

Nearby is a feature in Android devices

The Nearby function is configurable. Each user will be able to choose a device on his network with which it will interact. One of the main goals of Nearby on the phone is to fully automate the use of an Android device. Each process can be configured separately, up to purchases in the store. Some services are already interacting with Nearby. The company provided several such examples. Entering a hotel room, she immediately "feels" the owner and regulates the comfortable temperature in the room. A smart TV will find for its user favorite TV channels that he usually watches most often.

Nearby already works great with the Hotstar file sharing service. It is used where there is no internet. The function has been adjusted to work with the GameInsight Guns of Boom application. It helps gamers to create a network in the absence of the Internet. The feature works with The Weather Channel, which creates a mesh network. With the help of it, urgent news is transmitted about various natural phenomena and cataclysms occurring all over the world. The good news for users is that Nearby technology works with older Android devices. But it requires an installed 11 Google versions play.

How to turn on the wireless function

We learned what Nearby is, now we will analyze the activation of the technology. Turning on the Nearby feature on Android devices is very simple. It's in the settings.

Nearby technology is activated. But until the moment when devices with this active function you won't see anything here. This feature can be customized. To do this, the user provides a lot of options. For example, you can block the display of visited sites on other devices.

Ways to create a network using this technology

There are 2 ways to create a Nearby network on your phone. In the first case, one user acts as the creator of the network, like the main server. All other devices connect to it. The master device can configure the Nearby behavior for all gadgets on the network. In the second case, all devices are equivalent and can configure the principle of the technology in their own way. This method is suitable for those who want to play games with friends. The only condition for creating such a network is the presence of Nearby on all devices.

Gamers can use the technology to make the game process easier. For example, there are 2 Android devices. You can use one of them as a control panel for the game (steering wheel with a button panel, game interface), and the other as a display of what is happening in the game or the game itself.

How Nearby Works

Nearby technology can be disabled in the same window where it is activated. The technology does not collect, store, transmit any user data. It uses exclusively one-way broadcast. This is similar to the principle of transmitting a signal to a TV or radio. Transmission signals are encrypted with smart algorithms and cannot be recognized. Applications that support Nearby communicate through a special remote server Google after you have given your consent. Connected devices through the same app do not connect directly.

Difficulties in connecting Nearby on the phone

If there are any difficulties in connecting two or more Android devices with Nearby technology, try to position them all so that they are exactly within a radius of less than 30 meters. If these are residential premises, it is necessary to bring the devices one to one as close as possible to connect the devices to the network. After the connection is established, you can try to increase the distance.

Make sure all devices have an app that supports the technology. When searching for games with Nearby in the Google Play search bar, you need to write “Games with Nearby”. However, not all applications and games take full advantage of this feature. In order to make sure that the function is fully implemented, you need to contact the developer and find out.

If you still can't connect, make sure this Nearby feature is enabled on all devices. How to activate Nearby, see the description above. After that, go to the technology page on your phone and click the rounded arrow next to the settings icon to indicate update. The connection has not yet been established - contact the service Google support and explain the reason for the request. If the device does not have this technology, then your phone is not designed to support it and you will not be able to download or activate the function in your case.

Applications with Nearby

All services are closely watching the innovations of large corporations. After Google's announcement new feature, after some time, several well-known applications and social networks announced support for it at once. Several services have been created that are based on this technology. For example, local search Nearby, which allows you to scan such a network for necessary information. You can already find special maps in the store that display the locations of cafes, museums and municipal institutions that the user needs. So this Nearby app in your phone is sure to be useful and one of the frequently used features.

In contact with

Nearby APIs allow you to collaborate or play with friends when they are nearby, up to 30 meters away. You can play multiplayer games, participate in special groups and sessions, and share content.

Why is it needed

The possibilities of the "My Environment" function will pleasantly surprise users. It will be much easier and more interesting for them to work in your application together, so many will definitely suggest to their friends to install it.

Key features

Messaging API. Receive and send messages and let a wide audience take part in multiplayer games, groups, collaborate in real time, show content to others and send it.
Nearby Connections API. Add the ability to discover other devices in local network and work with them in real time. One device is selected as the host, while others request connection to shared boards, local multiplayer games, and multi-device games.
Alerts from My Places. Receive messages from beacons using Eddystone and add context to games and applications based on the user's location. The message may be URL, which opens in the browser on click. Messages can also call application intent to launch an application and perform a specific action or open an application page in Play Store if it is not set.

Don't use My Places too often to extend the battery life of your device. When the Nearby API transmits data through various channels, the device's battery drains 3.5 times faster.
Use in app button to turn the function on and off or create a separate screen for this. Don't forget to add an indicator, such as an animated icon, to let the user know if the transfer is in progress. Use the feature logo from developers.google.com/nearby .
Explain what data will be available to users of neighboring devices when collaborating in an application.
Disable Publishing and Subscribing, when needed, with the unpublish() or unsubscribe() function in the activity's onStop() method.
Limit the range of the function, use only the ultrasonic modem with the Strategy.setDistanceType(DISTANCE_TYPE_EARSHOT) parameter. Then only those devices that are within a radius of 1.5 m will be able to connect to the data source.
Speed up data transfer. Use Strategy.setDiscoveryMode(DISCOVERY_MODE_BROADCAST) for devices that only publish content, and DISCOVERY_MODE_SCAN for devices that only receive it. Note that the publishing device can also connect to other data sources, while the receiving device can also publish content.

Recently users Android smartphones Increasingly, the question is related to one of the items found on the menu: what is Nearby? This item can be found in the Google section of the smartphone menu (at the time of writing).

Nearby technology was introduced in 2016. It translates as “nearby”, which fully corresponds to the functionality of the technology. Nearby is a project designed to make it easier for the user to interact with the outside world. How, you ask? Nearby allows you to notify the user about interesting applications, services and websites based on its location. Imagine that you have visited a museum - you may be asked to install an application on your smartphone that is somehow related to this museum. If you are flying by plane, you may receive an entertainment app notification from the airline. Want to visit a restaurant? As soon as you enter it, you may be asked to familiarize yourself with the menu online without waiting for the waiter. In short, the thing is interesting and often very useful. Wherein this function can be turned off at any time. And Nearby also allows you to use applications that support this functionality to exchange information with users nearby.

Nearby functionality is available starting from android version 4.4.

For the full operation of Nearby, you must enable BlueTooth technology, geolocation, and connect to the Internet. The system can turn on all this on its own when using Nearby. Now let's show.
