How to view Android files on Linux and unlock your Pixel faster
Want to check your Android phone’s files using a Linux computer? It’s simple! First, connect your phone to your Linux system with a USB cable. Open the terminal and install a tool like “mtp-tools” to help your computer talk to your phone.
Type a few easy commands, and you’ll see all your files—like photos, music, or documents—right on your screen. It’s a quick way to grab stuff without digging through your phone. Now, if you’ve got a Google Pixel, here’s a cool trick to unlock it faster.
Normally, you wake the screen before using the fingerprint scanner. But with a small tweak, you can skip that step! Go to your phone’s settings, find the display options, and turn on a feature that lets the fingerprint sensor work even when the screen is off.
Once it’s set, just tap the sensor, and your Pixel unlocks instantly—super handy for quick access! Both tips make using your Android smoother. Whether it’s file exploring on Linux or speeding up your Pixel, these tricks save time and effort. Try them out!
