TairikuOkami's Android Config 2020

[TairikuOkami]

I was gifted this phone, so here it is. I plan to use it only at home for Fitbit sync, but I might take it out for a walk occasionally.
This is my first android smartphone, so please go easy on me. The other one is MS Lumia 650, but Windows is pretty familiar.
I do not want to run any realtime apps, like antivirus, taking battery life. I have uninstalled all core apps and I keep only basics.
File transfer does not work via cable, so I had to copy/paste passwords using googledrive, but I somehow got it working at last.

P.S.: Avira Home Guard reports, that ports 22/80 on the router are opened. That is nice, but like what am I supposed to do about it?!

Is that result tested from a App? Sounds like it only test on LAN side so this isn't a problem.
You can test your public connection with e.g.: ShieldsUP! (yeah, strange URL but very good)

Yes, I thought as much, but I was not sure. Thanks.

@TairikuOkami: why Play Protect disabled and not using 2-Step Verification?

How did you make file transfer working at last? I had similar problems in the past.

@TairikuOkami: why Play Protect disabled

There is no Play Protect in store or in settings, so I guess it is disabled?

@TairikuOkamiand not using 2-Step Verification?

I login to gmail, gdrive regularly on desktop and 2FA is PITA, SMS takes long to receive and I do not want google cookies saved in my browser.
Besides I consider gmail as a spam email. Samsung has 2FA enabled by default and creating an account took days, SMS almost never arrives.

P.S.: Now I am wondering, does Account security applies to Samsung or to Google Play Store? FindMyPhone is Samsung, then I guess it is enabled?

Sorry, I meant, I got logins working via google drive. File transfer still refuses to work, I tried multiple cables.

Its enabled by default so you should be fine.

This was what fixed my issue in the past. Not sure if its the same for you but you can try: Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is not working on Windows 10

It is integrated in Google Play Store settings...

I see, then it is enabled and I have just checked, 2FA is enabled as well along with auto sync and backup of files, even though there are none. Fixed in config.
