The twisted paths of Mt Android, leading from
the swollen gutters of Noob Town to the lofty heights of Android
Guru-dom (or some such designation) are a battlefield littered with the
corpses of those that gave up along the way, those that switched to
iPhone and those stuck in a bootloop with no idea how to get out. That's
why we thought we'd share ten simple Android features that not many
people use, but that are hard to ignore once you know about them.
Tap & Go is an
indispensable tool for those of us that switch between Android phones
more frequently than clean underwear. Tap & Go is an NFC-based data
migration tool in the Android system: simply place two NFC-equipped
phones back to back during setup (usually your old phone and your new
one) and Tap & Go will automatically add everything from your old
phone to your new one. Just like magic.
OEMs have even come up
with their own versions, so many new devices on Lollipop have two
options during setup. Which ever one you use it doesn't really matter,
just don't install all your apps manually ever again.
Samsung Galaxy S6 phone buyers waiting for a version with a 5.5-inch screen might get their wish fairly soon.
The Korean mobile phone maker is reportedly planning to unveil the Galaxy S6 Plus,
a variant of the Galaxy S6 with a bigger screen and other enhancements,
according to Italian blog site HDBlog.it. Known internally at Samsung
as Project Zero 2, formerly Project Zen, the new phone would make its
debut in the coming weeks rather than at the Internationale
Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) 2015 conference in September, as was
previously rumored.
In April 2014, Samsung released the Galaxy S5,
then followed it up later that year in October with the Galaxy S5 Plus,
which featured a more potent processor. Rumors have suggested that
Samsung would adopt a similar strategy this year in an effort to
capitalize on the success of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
But the new phone would be bigger than its siblings in an attempt to
lure in users looking for a larger-screened device. The S6 Plus would
also serve as an early alternative to the Galaxy Note 5 phablet, which is still expected to be unveiled at the IFA conference in September.
Though
HDBlog.it says the information comes from "reliable sources," the site
still considers this a rumor, so it's best to take the report with a
grain of salt for now.
But assuming the rumors are true, the
Galaxy S6 Plus would feature a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display --
Samsung's term for its integration of the touch layer with the actual
screen, resulting in a thinner design than regular AMOLED displays. It's
larger than the 5.1-inch screen found on the S6 and S6 Edge. The S6
Plus would also feature a curved display on both edges of the screen,
just like the S6 Edge. Other specs reportedly to be found on the S6 Plus
include a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 32 gigabytes of internal
storage, a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.
The latest Galaxy
lineup has enjoyed healthy consumer demand. Sales of the Galaxy S5
smartphones hit 6 million units at the end of April, less than one month
after its launch, research firm Counterpoint said on Tuesday. But
Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus
have given Samsung real competition with their larger screen sizes.
Unlike Apple, which releases new iPhones only once a year, Samsung is in
a better position as it can launch multiple Galaxy phones and phablets
throughout the year to strike back at its major rival.
On
a new phone, you can uninstall an app by pressing Menu > Settings
> Applications > Manage applications. But this becomes cumbersome
if you're trying out different apps to find the ones you like and you
have to go through all these steps each time you want to uninstall one.
As its name implies, Easy Uninstaller makes uninstalling apps much
quicker and easier. A tap on the app icon instantly takes you to the
list of apps, which can be sorted by names, sizes or dates of
installation.
Moreover, you can multi select apps you want to uninstall at one go, without the need to keep coming back to the list.
Although ES File Explorer also comes with an App Manager to uninstall
programs, this app gives you more info on each program file and
provides a powerful sorting function. So Easy Uninstaller is a real step
forward.
A
standard Android phone usually has a set of four hard buttons—Back,
Search, Home and Menu—depending on your device. When you run an app and
press the Back button, you get back to the Home screen but the app is
still running in the background. Surprisingly, quite a number of apps
seem to behave this way without terminating themselves.
To quit a running app, you would have to press Menu > Settings
> Applications > Manage Applications > Running, then select an
app to stop it from running.
Advanced Task Killer makes your life easier—just one tap on "Kill
selected apps" stops all the apps that you've chosen from running in the
background. This reduces memory usage immediately and makes your device
less laggy over extensive use.
Alternatively, this app allows you to individually stop an app from
running—just touch and hold an item on the list and select 'stop' to
kill the item. You can also set an auto-kill level, either safe,
aggressive or crazy, to your liking from the various settings.
What's more, it has a one-tap widget. Touch and hold your homescreen,
select Widgets from the pop-up menu, then choose this app's widget to
place it on your homescreen for use. A touch on this widget instantly
tells you the number of apps killed alongside the memory available.
This app is free but supported with ads.
One of the easiest ways to install an Android app is to use Barcode Scanner, a handy and efficient tool developed by ZXing Team.
Barcode Scanner lets you use your device's built-in camera to scan a
Quick Response (QR) Code containing an app identifier, like the ones
you see in this article. In a few seconds after scanning, it decodes the
QR code. You just need to press the "Open in browser" button, and the
app is ready for you to install—much quicker than typing out the app's
name to search with the Market app.
The Google Play website now allows you to press the 'Install' button
in your PC's browser to install an app to your mobile device... but to
do so you must be signed in to your Gmail account associated with the
device. The Barcode Scanner saves you this hassle.
Barcode Scanner also allows you to scan and share other information
such as contacts, bookmarks or text messages via a QR Code. A must-have
tool, and it's small in size.
If
you have a file manager that comes along with your device and it just
gives you some basic file operations such as create new folders, copy,
delete, rename, search and so on, you might then ask for more.
In addition to the basic file operations, ES File Explorer allows you
to easily bookmark and access your favorite or frequently used folders,
just like you do with a desktop file explorer.
ES File Explorer's quick access buttons at the top of the screen
facilitate navigation and provide many extra features. You can touch and
hold a file in a list or grid view to easily cut, copy, rename, delete
or move files, or even zip or unzip files in zip or gz format with a
choice of password protection and various compression levels.
Other additional features incorporated in ES File Explorer include
App Manager, SD Card Analyst, file transfers over LAN, FTP, Bluetooth or
Net
