There are much more videos appearing on the google pixel 4 and also other sorts of technology. And also if you selected up the google pixel 4 or are trying to find some accessories there are some links down below in the summary to find the very best bargain. Suggestion number one is my go to it’s my favorite and also it may be a little bit challenging if you’re not really hardcore right
into the Android community, however I promise you it’ll be OK. Let’s first swipe down on the notification color two times. You’re going to click this little equipment symbol in the bottom right corner. Currently scroll all the method to all-time low as well as click “About phone”. And scroll down all the method once more. And you’re gon na click on develop number and also maintain tapping on that until it requests for your pin. Currently this pin number is your very own PIN number, it’s the one that you set up it’s not mine. There’s clear one available it’s what you chose. I’ll put mine in. OK. Currently it mentions that you’re a programmer. Let’s return and click” system,” and also click on breakthrough and after that drop to programmer options. Scroll all the way down up until you locate drawing so you’ll locate an animation range setting, click on Sight animation scale as well as click on 0.5, 0.5, etc. Point five for all 3 of them. So what’s occurring here is it’s speeding up the computer animation so it really feels truly stylish and smooth. So if I swipe up that’s what appears like. See just how rapid it is? Lets actually transform it back to one x simply so you can see what it looks like normally So you swipe up. So this is what the computer animations usually resemble. So let’s go back to the factor
five and also then see it once again Method much faster best? I enjoy this. Pointer number two kind of goes along with that. If you go back to your settings you’re in the designer choices there. We have this 90 Hertz panel, It makes whatever appearance way smoother than like a 60-hertz panel like you ‘d find on the iPhone. Well, you can actually force it to run at 90 Hertz in all times due to the fact that it’s in fact changing it’s going lower at certain times when it does not need it. If you actually desire to make certain that’s going at all times you can turn it on so you’ll scroll up as well as there’s this choice right below claims pressure 90 Hertz rejuvenate rate as well as you would make certain that’s on. I had it on currently. Currently bear in mind this does impact your battery life so you’ll have to figure out if that deserves it to you. For me, I’m frequently alongside a battery charger and also points like that. It does not actually trouble me yet if it affects your battery life a great deal, you may desire to turn this off so that the system immediately ranges on its very own. One
of the terrific things about this brand-new version of Android is this setting called dark motif. This is my third pointer go to your setups click on the equipment symbol and also after that go to show so you’ll see this option. Here it states dark motif. Go ahead and turn it on as well as see. It goes completely black. All of your setups even your notice color it becomes black. So what’s really great about that is that this is an OLED Panel or AMOLED as well as when you have an OLED panel, when the pixels are completely black, that suggests that the pixels are totally off. To ensure that helps you conserve some battery life. To make sure that might make up for that pressure to 90 Hertz establishing that we turned on in the previous step. Suggestion number 4 is special to the pixel 4 as well as on this new variation of Android. So let’s return to your settings and most likely to a screen and also then you’ll see this choice for designs and also wallpapers. If you go here you’ll see there are different alternatives you’re seeking actually alter the means that the symbols are shaped what shades there are things like that. You can even change your wallpaper. It’s truly cool simply a little extra modification if you desire it. For me, I think Google did a wonderful task with the default setups so I’ll stick to that. So tip number five is type of comparable. If you just return and also you click on advance as well as you’ll see an option for font dimension. Currently I like whatever extremely duper small. So you make
it tiny there and also can fit extra on your screen yet much more, you can pick your display size. So I like decreasing to tiny. I seem like you can see a lot more on my screen. Now obviously if you have a tough time seeing message that tiny you can actually make it bigger. So there’s something there to fit your taste. Suggestion Number 6 is in fact something that makes it a little bit much easier for us to reach the notifications. Usually you have to swipe down 2 times to get to your quick toggles where you can do as well as says take 2 fingers and also swipe down the exact same time and you go straight there As well as for Idea Number Seven while we’re there, you can actually click on this little Edit symbol right here and also you can readjust it as well as can place in different kinds of fast toggles there or eliminate some if you desire to. Now you’re possibly wondering” why does my Google pixel 4 look different?” It’s because I have a skin that appears like concrete by the channel sponsor dbrand. They have a bunch of various options as well as colors on their Internet site. There’s an orange one that you can get if you weren’t able to get the eliminated version. Oh so orange color or possibly you simply desire to feel what that panda life resembles or maybe you want a matte black one because Google did make a matte Black version somehow, but you can
obtain your very own by clicking the link down below in the description. So suggestion number eight is actually wonderful. See what I did there? So if you take place to have some media up perhaps it’s something on Twitter if you’re not following me on Twitter it’s @thisistechtoday, or maybe you’re seeing YouTube video clip as well as you simply kind of intend to see what they’re saying without sidetracking individuals around you. There is this option called Live transcribe. If you simply click on your volume button there’s a little box down at the bottom. If you click it it begins recording what is playing in the video clip. So you see how it’s recorded right below? It’s doing this online and also on your tool. So even if you’re in aircraft mode it’ll begin throughout this, which is insane. As well as naturally you can click on it as well as drag it around. Now if you wish to turn off your life record it’s as easy as just striking the quantity switch as well as then at the lower striking the online transcribed switch once more as well as you shut it off easily. That’s it. I love this and also I assume it’s outstanding particularly for ease of access. Idea number 9 is it really cool down. It’s the recorder app and also I understand you’re probably assuming what’s so intriguing concerning that. Well, allow me explain. Let’s hit record as well as you
can see that it’s videotaping my voice right currently like regular yet what’s truly fascinating if he is if you discuss the transcript as well as today it’s recording, it’s determining specifically what I’m stating life now, on the phone with no internet link which is actually amazing. Currently if I struck pause as well as struck conserve and also type in something in the search where I such as actually trendy which is what I simply stated. It’ll find it below.

So pointer number 10 has to do a lot with the new motions there on your phone. It’s kind of like an apple iphone yet if you swipe along the bottom right or left you can in fact go to the various applications that you’ve been making use of. It’s a fast application switcher. By the means if you’re not following me on Instagram you can follow me @thisistechtoday. There’s a blog post by my buddy Jason. Currently if you’re not a large fan of the entire motion thing on here you can in fact go back to the old three-button navigating alternative. To
make sure that transformed that. Allow’s simply most likely to setups to finger swipe down the equipment icon and also after that we’ll click system click on motions as well as after that click System navigating and afterwards you have the alternative for the 3 switch navigation Look familiar, right?

Motion navigation and after that you have to eliminate your other accounts that are G Collection accounts. Allow me reveal you what I imply. When I turn on the Google system with a capture option.

As soon as you squeeze and it’s in fact transcribing live you can see it near the bottom. It’s actually amazing. When did the pixel 4 come out? You see we don’t have proceeded conversation on yet.
