Buy One Plus 6 Red Color smartphone on OLX
From, last one week I am thinking about the Cyber-Crime and how to stop it. Then I found that nearly 7 out of 10 cases from Cyber-Crime comes from reselling market like OLX and Quicker. There are multiple groups of people active on OLX and another e-commerce platform who have posted fraud advertisement. Most of those advertisements are related to One Plus 6 smartphone. Will you buy One Plus 6 Red Color smartphone on OLX.

Selling smartphone by giving fake identity proof of Army Person is one of the worst things about it. They are targeting people from all over India by posting the same advertisement for multiple locations. Means larger area can be covered. Such type of fraud people must be punished as they are selling smartphone under the name of Indian Army Personal. If you go to buy One Plus 6 Red Color smartphone on OLX and if you found advertisement like that then report it as a Fraud and never buy anything from people like this.
Some of the fraud images of advertisement “Buy One Plus 6 Red Color smartphone on OLX” as follows:
Share this news as much as you can. And always remember OLX provides the platform for seller and buyer only. They don’t have any role in it. So don’t trust anyone blindly. Because awareness and caution is the only key to stop Cyber-Crime.

What is Project Treble in Android OS?
Understanding Project Treble. How is Project Treble going to change update cycle of Android Operating System? How is Google going to implement Project Treble in Android OS?
Google releases the newer Android version every year. The newest update of Android comes up with a lot of new features, improvements and with security patches. But, how many percentages of devices are able to get that update. There are so fewer devices which are getting the latest update. Many flagship devices also fail to receive time-to-time updates. How can you expect to get the latest update on your mid-range device as it releases? How Project Treble in Android OS going to affect on upcoming smartphones?
Is Google playing with us?
No, it’s not only about Google. Nearly 90 percent of devices come up with preloaded applications, bloatware, UI modifications. They didn’t come up with pure stock android. Device manufacturer needs to work for every separate device to release the latest update of Android. It is not possible for OEM to work on it as every year they release dozens of devices. First, they have to think about Flagship devices, then it comes to mid-range devices and so on. This makes the whole process lengthy and time-consuming. That’s the major reason why our smartphone didn’t get the latest update as it releases.
From past two years, Google is trying to release its latest Android updates on maximum devices. Reports from last two years show that it’s not actually happening. Google has no control over smartphone manufacturer. Google can’t force them to release the latest update. That’s why the graph of Adoption of Google’s newest operating system is less than 10%. Its a big concern for Google. To fix that big issue Google changed some Android framework which is called as Project Treble. So, what is actually Project Treble in Android OS? Let’s find out.
What is Project Treble?
Project Treble in Android OS is an attempt by Google to fix clog that slows down the Android update procedure. Technically, Treble is a modification in android architecture that communicates with hardware inside the device. The upcoming Android devices will come up with futureproof vendor implementation. Starting with Android Oreo version Google is in talks with device manufacturer regarding Project Treble. It will take time to implement it on the large basis as more than half of the devices are running an older version of Android Operating System. According to Google, Project treble ensures that upcoming Android devices will get latest updates faster than ever. After reading all this stuff about Project Treble, I am still confused about how Google is going to manage all those millions of devices.
If you check statistics of Android’s distribution then you can observe the humongous gap between latest and previous android version. Currently, 28.1 percent of phones running Android 6.x (Marshmallow), and 28.5 percent on Android 7.x (Nougat). That means nearly half of the Android phones are running on a nearly-two-year-old operating system. And most terrible statistics is that only 4.1+ percent of devices are running on latest android version i.e., Android 8.x (Oreo). In short, we can say that nearly 96 percent of Android devices are running an old version of Android.
How Android updates work?
There are two parts of the operating system code:
- The OS Framework
- Low-Level software (Vendor Implementation)
Why device makers like Samsung, LG, Sony are not able to give a timely update on their devices? Before rolling out the latest update, OEMs like Samsung, LG, HTC, Xiaomi, Sony needs to do major changes in code. This is likely the cause for delay in Android updates from manufacturers. With OS Framework device manufacturers also need to do modifications in low-level software. The manufacturer has to work a lot.
After all, those implementations device manufacturer can roll out the update to devices. If any OEM wants to update their device line up. Then they have to update android os code and low-level hardware code also. After updating those codes, the update can be pushed out to devices. But problem is that the low-level hardware code is generally maintained by the chip maker. So, for example, if Xiaomi wants to push an update to one of its phones. Then they have to wait for chipmakers like Qualcomm or Mediatek to release source code which will support the latest update. Here you can see that each and every manufacturer is dependent on one other. Without their support update cannot be rolled out.
With Android Oreo and beyond, Google has changed that scenario. Google has changed the framework of the Android operating system. Those improvements are codenamed as Project Treble in Android OS. It has separated the hardware code and OS code. With that separation, device manufacturers don’t have to wait for the chipmakers to update their low-level hardware code. It will remain the same. OEMs will be free to update their software. Here is the complete documentation of Treble by Google.
Hopefully, it will make a significant change in the update cycle of the Android operating system. Check if your device supports Project Treble or not.

How to check Android Device Supports Project Treble
We all are concerned about the regular android updates. Doesn’t matter which phone you use a midrange smartphone or flagship device. If you are not getting time-to-time Android updates and security patches then it makes uncomfortable. Leave android version updates to the side and just think about Android security patches. We use antivirus on our computer, laptop. It needs to update to the latest version. So it can protect us from outside threats. Same Android device needs monthly security patches so it can protect and secure our device from external threats. but because of some reasons, the device didn’t get those security updates on time. For that reason, Google has introduced Project Treble. Project Treble supported devices can be automatically updated to latest security patch directly from Google. We don’t require any attention from smartphone manufacturer or OEMs. How to check Android device supports Project Treble or not?
How to check your Android device supports Project Treble or Not?
To check your Android device supports Project Treble or not. You have to just follow the following simple steps.
1. Download any Terminal application from Google Play Store.
  For example Terminal Android (By Luna Inc)
  Play Store Download link.
2. After Installation open the downloaded Application.
3. After opening the app you will see some command window and cursor blinking.
4. Type following commands one by one and hit enter
  (a) adb shell (b)getprop ro.treble.enabled
5. If after second command result is true then your Android device supports Project Treble and if the result is false then your Android device doesn’t support Project Treble.
The only Android devices running on Oreo version and higher than that can support Project Treble. Older Android version devices don’t support Project Treble. So, before testing Project, Treble support check your Android device version also.

Things you must do before charging your brand new Android Phone or Tablet
Things to do while charging Android Phone, Tablet. Tips to extend the battery life of smartphone.
If you got a new Android smartphone. What things should you do before charging your brand new Android phone or tablet? Things you must avoid while charging of your smartphone? Today, we will talk about some tips that will help you to keep smartphones battery healthy as a long as possible. Important things you must do before charging your Android device.
The reason behind the death of smartphone is an issue in battery life. It doesn’t matter your smartphone is new or old.
Batteries are not made for lifetime purpose.
Batteries are not immortal. After some charging cycles, batteries stop to hold electricity in it. Using proper ways we can maintain those cycles of charging and discharging so we can get maximum power. So the question is how to keep the battery in the best condition? There are some ways you have to follow while charging your brand new Android phone, tablet or pc. This will help to keep battery life healthy.
Some of the important things you must do before charging your device running on Android.
Things you must do before charging your brand new Android Phone or Tablet
Check accessories properly
After buying a new android phone, tablet. Check accessories properly. Specifications on accessories must match with specifications given on paper. If it doesn’t match then contact with Customer Care support for further guidance.
Charging battery with Fast Charge charger
There are lot of fast charging methods offered by Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, One Plus’s Dash Charging, Moto’s Adaptive Fast Charging, etc. In fast charging, the charger is capable to supply electricity at higher voltage and current. Which helps to charge the battery faster. So, how fast charging works? In fast charging, charger communicates with circuits on device which tells charger how much of electricity required to charge a battery. This way device talks with charger. And with higher voltage and current ratio battery gets charged at faster rate. This way Fast Charging for Android works.
If your android phone or tablet doesn’t support fast charging then don’t use fast charger to charge your Android device. It effects on lifespan of battery. so for longer battery life try to use recommended charger given by the manufacturer.
Charging at night or overcharging
Many people charge their phone overnight. Average charging time of phone is only an hour or two to get 100 %. So there is no point charging your phone or tablet for long time than it requires. If you keep your phone charged overnight then you are increasing the amount of time your device spends with charger. It degrades the battery capacity little by little. Heavy dosage of tickle charge decrease the charge cycles of the battery.
Using proper cable
Unrecommended charging cable can damage U2I port on our smartphone. The port is responsible for charging and some other USB function. Improper handling of that port can damage the USB functionality of phone or tablet. Which can lead to the multiple consequences like phone doesn’t charge, phone won’t turn ON, etc. That’s why it is always recommended to use proper USB cable while charging your brand new Android phone or tablet. You can try braided USB cables which has a lot of advantages over regular USB cables.
Avoid uncertified magnetic charging cables
I have observed that many people are using un-certified magnetic charging cables. Those charging cables are easy to connect with USB port as compared to traditional USB cables. Always use proper magnetic charging cable. There are some risks to use magnetic USB cables. If device is made up of metallic body then sometimes you have to take care that charging cable and device body doesn’t get shorted.
Using another Charger
Always try to use the charger which comes with your phone. It comes with correct rating. While using another third-party charger make sure that it is supported by your phone. Never use low quality and cheap alternatives it may harm your phone or tablet. Many times such cheap chargers catch fire.
These are some of the things you must do before charging your Phone or Tablet running on Android operating system. It helps you to retain more and more battery life. Still worried about your battery life.
