How do I turn my Bluetooth service on?

(upbeat music) - Hey everyone, David and David from payetteforward.com and upphone.com, and in this article we are going to tell you about some Android settings that you can turn off right away.

We have a Samsung Galaxy S10 with Android 10. If you have a different phone or operating system it might look a little different, but the settings are all the same. - Everything we are going to talk about today is designed to either take the load off your phone's processor which will speed it up or it will save your battery life.

Both good things. Or it will increase your privacy, which is also a big consideration these days. - Yes. - So we have to go to the Settings app, to get started do that, swipe down from the top of the screen, I have the Settings app here, if you don't see the Settings app in this menu, just go to search and enter settings.

I'll just tap on it. We are in the settings app. First, we're going to disable the nearby device nning.- Scanning nearby devices does what it sounds like.

Your phone is constantly looking for other devices nearby that might want to connect and it can really drain your battery life - so let's tap Connections, tap Click here for more connection settings, and then tap on Device scanning in the Proximity, tap this switch, turn it off. - Next, we're going to talk about how to choose which apps to allow to keep running in the background of your phone even when you're not using it. Pretty easy to get there.

However, we need to enable developer mode. So let's do that. - So let's go back to the main page in that Settings app and scroll all the way down to about Phone, Tab on it tab.

Then tap Software Info. Now tap the Build Number seven times. One, two, three, four, five , six, seven.

Then enter your PIN or passcode. - Developer mode has been activated. Excellent. - All right, So let's go back to the main page of the Settings app.

Back. - Back. So now you see developer options and erneath about phone.

Tap Developer Options. And we'll scroll down to Background Check. Background Check. - It's under the Apps section - Under the Apps section.

A lot of stuff in here. Cool stuff. There it is.

Apps.Background Checking - Background Checking tab. Go through this list and pay special attention to which ones below have an amount of time because it will show you how long that app or service has been using the processor on your phone, but it will only Discharging your battery.- Okay.- So if there's anything on this list, especially things that have been using it like Bixby voice.- Let's just tap that switch, turn it off. - Turn it off right away.

Let's us go down the list. Anything you don't see here doesn't need to be updated in the background when you're not using your phone, such as the Galaxy Essentials widget. Let's turn that thing off. - Turn it off. - Just turn it off.

You can always come back here and turn it on if something doesn't work - that's it. - as we expect. Next, we're going to turn off usage and diagnostic information.

This is information sent to Google or background Android developers when you are not using your phone. (indistinct) - So let's go back to the main page and Settings app, tap the tab. Here we go.

And then tap Google. Then tap on those three dots in the top right corner of the screen and tap on Usage and Diagnostics. Here you can see this little switch, it's on, just tap it.

It's over now. - Saves the battery life, saves some cellular data, easy. Why not? Next, we're going to talk about turning off ad personalization.

I know it's anonymous, but it sends information about the way you use your phone to ad networks so they can send you more relevant advertisements --- they stack data about you and so you can say I got in talked about cookies in my living room. And now all of a sudden I'm getting cookies on my phone - I know it's weird - So we're just tapping the back button, the top left corner of the screen, and you see ads down here, tap on it, disable Personalizing ads. You know it's the article off settings that you need to turn them on in order to turn them off.

We'll turn this toggle, turn off interest-based advertising. You will still see ads that may not be based on your interests, however. if you disable your cache, you will lose your opt-out setting.

OK. Now it's on. - Interesting.

You will lose your opt-out setting. - Yes. So if you clear your cache, (indistinctly) - that's a lot of crap.

Do that. Because they don't have to. Right.

That's insane. Anyway, next we're going to look at the location settings on your phone. So let's go back to the main page of the Settings app and we're going to tap on the location.

The first thing we want to do is improve the accuracy. Use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for more accurate location detection d Bluetooth scanning. I've actually seen a lot of posts on forums where people say I turned these two settings off and saved a ton of battery life.

This is because it just keeps scanning and scanning and scanning and it drains your battery - and your location is still working - GPS is still built into the phone, right? You don't need to have these things on - let's go back Next, let's talk about google location history, it will be a location history of all the places you've been. It's similar to Important Places on iPhone that allows you to save a long list of all the places you've been. And it's just ... it's a little strange for my taste.

Tap the switch and then tap pause, in the lower right corner of the screen, and now this has been paused, perfect. And go back to location settings here, and the last one is network data analysis. It's like sending data analytics to your carrier. a pony.- It's not me again.- That'll just burn your ass off You keep sending data to your cellular provider.

Tap the switch at the top of the screen, turn it off. Are you sure? Yes. And don't show this message again.

taskbar keeps hiding

Great. - Sorry sprint. - Sorry sprint.

Fix your own too late, we're being bought out. (laughs) The next thing we want to talk about is restricting background data for certain apps. As mentioned earlier, if an app keeps getting new data in the background of your phone, it can drain your battery pretty quickly.

So let's go back to the main page of the Settings app and then tap Apps. You'll see a list of all of your apps, just choose one. I'm going to choose Bixby Routines, and then I'll tap on cellular data.

Here you can see limited background data. We will always set this this way, it always restricts the background data that the app uses, especially for apps that you don't use. Not used very often. - It always saves.

It will save your cellular data plan. It will also extend your battery life. It's just a matter of being deliberate about which apps you want to use to download content, e.g.

B. ESPN, and which apps do not require you to download content, e.g.

B. your bank or something. - Correct.

The last thing we want to show you is how to disable the installation of unknown apps. for pretty much all of your apps. This will prevent your apps from installing the other apps --- From unknown sources on these sources like ransomware - Yes.

You just don't want to end up with malware on your Android because another app downloaded another app, and then hellishly, no good. So let's go back, let's go back one more time. Now here we are on the main apps page and tap on those three dots, the top right corner of the screen, and then tap on Special Access.

Scroll down here and tap Install unknown apps. And practically turn this off because anything we share is not allowed. - Yes. - When you see an app you're allowed to just tap on it, and then you would say allow from source, if that switch was on, turn it off. - Often apps will I ask for permission.

If they are allowed to, just tap yes because you are not careful and bad things will happen. So just go through, this is a really important security of course, if you're ok with installing an app, - Unknown apps - Yes, unfamiliar apps, I mean you can go ahead and leave it out. It's only for certain apps, but most of the time you don't want this .- Yes, you may be surprised.- Surprised, this is malware. (laughs) Thanks for watching this article.

These are some Android settings that you can turn off right away. Give this article a thumbs up if you liked it, leave us a comment comment below with any more questions, don't forget to subscribe to this channel for more great articles about cellphones.

How do you reset bluetooth service?

- David and David here. Let's talk about what to do if your AirTags won't connect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. - Quite a common problem here, and the first things we'll talk about is the setup steps, which are easy to miss at times.

So, first of all, let's make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet - Yes. Open the Settings app. - Okay. - Let's tap on WiFi.

Just make sure the switch is on at the top of the screen. Make sure you have the check mark next to your name and you can toggle the switch off and on again. - Yes, just turn off Wi-Fi.

Turn it back on. Step two. Similar.

Bluetooth. Right back to Settings in the top left corner of the screen. Tap on Bluetooth and just toggle the switch off and on again.

Yes. - easy to do. - The next step is pretty easy.

Just make sure your AirTag is within range of your device. Makes sense? They are supposed to work, but at a distance of up to 30 or 100 or 130 feet away, make sure it's right next to your phone - Next, make sure you have the Find My app installed on your iPhone . It's a native app but you can delete it, maybe you installed it at some point deleted for AirTags to work - How do we find out? - Well, just use Siri - All right, press and hold the side button.

Open find my.Boom- Let's go.- And if it's not installed, you'll see, do you want to search the App Store? And then just do it, install it. - Nice and easy.

The next step is to restart your iPhone. Could be a minor software bug to fix this problem. - To restart your iPhone, let's go back to the home screen, open the Settings app again and go back to Settings in the top left corner of the screen.

And I'm going to scroll down and tap on general, then I go down here and tap shut down, so I turn the device off and on again, I'm not going to do this myself now because I'm going to lose my screen recording. The next step is to update your iPhone. Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod must be running iOS 14.5 or iPad iOS 14.5 to use AirTags.

Also find out mine is a native app to update the software on your iPhone. So while we are in general, let's just scroll back to the top here. - Alright - Did you know you can just tap at the top? upstairs - there you go.

Tap on it to update - Boom - If there is a software update available, tap Download and install or install it now - Do it - Do it - Your iPhone and that will be the problem probably fix fix. Especially if you're not running iOS 14.5. - Right.

So we've covered all of the software fixes. Now we're going to talk about the AirTags themselves. - Yes, a little plastic wrap.

And there is a little tab that you had to pull out of the AirTag. - Right - to make them work. So take a look at your AirTag and make sure the tab is not in it.

And now that's what it would look like. If the tab were still in there would be an arrow. It says pull that out immediately. - I may have done that on purpose. - Yes. - To demonstrate this article how it might look there, but if you tore it off it might still be in there.

But I think we'll hit that while we're cleaning your AirTags - yeah. So we grab a microfiber cloth - nice - bring it in here - all right - wipe off your AirTag. Also if you have your AirTag in a case - and if you have the Apple case, David, you know how to take it out? - oh dear, me not - so if you have an apple skin they all have these little buttons.

This thing actually opens up - Oh, neatly - I know, right? You go like this So be careful not to tear it out of the case because you could break the case. So this thing is about to come out. And for this, just press on your back and turn. - To turn left. - The back comes off.

Now you can really see that clearly. The battery tab is still blocking this port. Just remove that and to clean them as they can get smeared somehow, although this is pretty new, just to use an anti-static brush, any mass that is inside could be brushed off the outside and also just be careful sometimes things can get stuck in the back.

I put the battery back in. You hear the sound.- There is the sound.- Come on.- The tab has been cleaned.

It's out.- And how about that? Now it wants to connect. So there is a fix - there is a fix right there - yes - if those steps haven't worked so far, the next step is to reset your air tag. - This is already reset.

So instead I'm resetting my other air tag that I use for my keys. Thanks David. So press your back down with two fingers and turn it to the left, remove it.

And what we have You have to reinsert the battery five times. And you know you got it right because the fifth time it sounds different. So one, two, three, - there it is, take it out all the way - you have to take the battery out completely every time. - Yes.

And then put the cap back on and then your tags should connect. So if you reset your air day that didn't work, it's time to reset the network settings on your iPhone, which will restore all of the WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular and VPN settings to the factory defaults. May be able to fix a minor wifi or bluetooth connection problem - yes - and let's show them how to - let's do it, in the top left corner of the screen I tap back to general because I'm currently in the Software update am.

Now I'll scroll down and now tap on Reset, and tap on Reset Network Settings. You will be asked for your passcode and then asked if you really want to? And you just say yes - yes - reset network settings after doing this step, a bit of a hassle to enter your wifi passwords, but well worth fixing a deeper wifi or bluetooth issue. Next, try replacing the battery, but be careful which batteries you put in your AirTag as some of them won't fit.

We tried some Duracell batteries in another graphics card above the description section below. And they won't fit .- They fit in but they don't connect to the ports because Apple has gotten really cute with the way they are designed the internal connections of the air brands, it will be very interesting to see what Apple does about it .- Yeah.Defini check out this article design flaw, we recognized it - Huge design flaw - But if you replace the battery it might be time to just go to Apple - Go to Apple.

Say, hey, my air tags don't work and they say, did you make an appointment? So first make an appointment at the Genius Bar. And also subscribe to our channel, because that is one of the main reasons why your tags no longer work - Yes - Missing subscriptions - You can also call the Apple Mail-in service, but you don't necessarily want to send in your AirTag. - At least you wouldn't lose him.

Yeah, okay, you could lose him. Lots of different options at Apple. Thanks for watching this article.

Give a thumbs up if you liked it. Leave a comment below if you need more help with your AirTags. Let us know what you think about the battery problem.

Where is Bluetooth settings in Control Panel?

Click the Start button and then click Control Panel. In the Control Panel search box, type 'Bluetooth', and then click Change Bluetooth settings. In the Bluetooth Settings dialog box, click the Options tab, select the Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer check box, and then click OK.

Today I'm going to show you how to solve a problem where the bluetooth settings are not showing up in Windows 10. So if we jump over here and go to our settings, usually where you would see it would be the bluetooth settings in devices, you can even see bluetooth here, if you click on it there is nothing here. This is Windows 10 ... it should be here, but it isn't.

It doesn't appear in your settings, it doesn't appear in the default settings as you'd see in the Control Panel, Windows 7 style, the 'classic' Control Panel, but there is a way to fix it. The first thing you want to do is just right click on the small Windows start menu button. Alternatively, press the Windows key and the X (key) and it will appear.

But if you right click on it and go to Device Manager, all of these devices will show up here. Now we're not really going to see much here. USB (settings), you'd think it was there, but it's not.

We have to switch to bluetooth. Well I don't see bluetooth here, what do we do? We go to 'View' and go to 'Show hidden devices'. There is bluetooth.

Now all of these are here, why are they hidden? There could be a million reasons; Hardware, switches, things like that, but since every laptop is different, let's just go ahead and solve the problem. Let's go ahead and update it so it could say your generic bluetooth adapter or the brand of your specific adapter. Mine says 'Intel Wireless Bluetooth'.

restart outlook 2013

Ok so let's right click on it and update the driver. If Windows can't find an update for your driver, you can uninstall and reinstall the driver or just roll back to an older driver, whatever you want to do, you can do so in 'Properties'. Go to the driver, we can update it, then uninstall it, reinstall it, whatever you want to do, but if you uninstall it and restart the computer, Windows will look for the driver again and reinstall it automatically so you don't have to worry That will be done, but in general we just want to update the driver and reset all the settings back to their defaults.

So let's check for updated driver software automatically and also keep in mind that if you have a switch somewhere on your laptop, you will want to look for it because if it is a hardware switch, the software can sometimes have problems with it but should be ok just look for a turn on your laptop and go from there. ok it updated successfully and then we will restart the computer. ok! So we restarted the computer and let's go ahead and see if something worked.

So here we go to 'Show Hidden Icons' They have everything we have, we have a bluetooth device that shows them here and that registered that I was open until his list actually went to the settings and we got them here But I know this is here is less, this unlocks the Charms bar the way we originally had to tweak it to make sure you go to Settings and two devices and sure enough years of bluetooth to be able to say we need it so i could fix it. I'm sure there are other methods for images in this method that might not work for you, but hopefully it works and if not let me know in the comments on Washington
