Microsoft’s services can be hit or miss, but when it comes to OneNote, it’s most certainly a hit. The note-taking application has been, quite deservedly, at the top of most productivity lists for a long time. And a recent update to the Android app has made it even easier to keep your notes secure, too. Now you can add passwords and use your fingerprint to unlock sections.
The section protection and password setup process
It’s worth noting (ha) that OneNote received the ability to open password-protected sections in an earlier update, but now you can also create them from your phone.

Sometimes the battery in your phone just isn’t enough, but you can’t swap batteries on most devices anymore. That’s when you need an external power bank, and RAVPower makes some good ones. One of its latest models (20,100mAh, Type-C) is on sale for an…
Choose your wallpaper carefully.
With Pixel 2 reviews now out and devices finally shipping to those with early preorders, we now have the chance to really get to know Google’s latest and greatest. We covered quite of ground in our full review of the Pixel 2, but even so, there are still some subtleties that we either didn’t have time to mention or haven’t stumbled across yet.
One such feature is that of a somewhat hidden dark mode.
When selecting a wallpaper on the Pixel 2, choosing and applying one with mostly dark colors will darken certain elements of the UI so that they’re much more fitting for the wallpaper you’ve selected.
By default with Android 8.0 Oreo, app folders, the app drawer, and quick settings panel all feature stark white backgrounds. It’s not a bad look by any means, but it can be a tad harsh on the eyes when it gets to be late at night.
Once you apply a dark enough wallpaper on the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, the background of app folders will change to a dark gr…
Is it coming or not? Rumors say there will be a OnePlus 5T this year, but we’re not quite convinced.(This is a preview – click here to read the entire entry.)
Yesterday, Google started charging payment methods for some with Pixel 2 pre-orders. Tantalized, we all sat in eager anticipation for them to ship out. Just a few minutes ago our own Artem received his shipping notification, so it’s official. At least some Pixel 2 and 2XL pre-orders are now shipping.
Shipping times are almost guaranteed to depend on when you placed your order. So some of us (like me) that ordered the panda XL late still have a long wait ahead of them.

When Google released the final version of Android Oreo in late August, one of the most useful new features was the new Autofill API. This is essentially a system-wide solution similar to the way autofill works in Chrome, and that’s something that can save us all a lot of time.
Developers need to get their apps ready for new API, and password manager LastPass was one of the first to come out and say it was in the works.

Lawnchair is one of the newer names in the highly competitive Android launcher space. It’s worth your attention, though, as it does have a few unique features. Visually, it’s able to clone the appearance and general functionality of the Pixel Launcher, even down to including the slide-out Google Feed. It also supports icon packs, if that’s your thing, and it’s open source. Best of all, though, now it’s available in the Play Store.
I’ve been using Lawnchair off and on since the first few versions hit XDA and reddit, and it’s been getting better with every release.

Smartwatches aren’t for everyone, but for many (including myself), they can be an incredibly helpful at times. But just because a smartwatch a piece of technology, doesn’t mean it can’t look nice. Several companies have been selling custom bands for s…
By now you’ve probably overdosed on all the Google Pixel reviews (here’s ours by the way), but one thing we wanted to focus on was an interesting change in the way the Camera app will handle photo viewing on the phone.
Previously, whether you were on a Nexus or the first-gen Pixel, when you took a photo and tapped it from the Camera app, you’d be taken to a slightly barren interface like the one below: back button and All photos on top, sharing and editing and deleting and info on the bottom.
The Pixel 2’s camera displays photos using the “Google Photos filmstrip” and not some standalone gallery app was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
