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

How to Get Android User Guide
In
addition to these tips and tricks covering some quick and easy points,
if you wish to read a full user guide on Android 4.0 for Galaxy Nexus
and earlier versions of the Android system, you can check out the
official Android OS Help here.
Using
the Android system, you can automatically back up your data, such as a
list of apps you've installed, the words you've added to dictionary,
your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks and other settings via your
Google account on the servers.
Run the app Settings, tap 'Backup & reset' under PERSONAL.
Check both 'Back up my data' and 'Automatic restore' if they're unchecked.
When you need to reset your device or re-install an app which makes
use of the backup service, you can then restore your data and settings
from your Google account.
What
if you need to copy files and folders between your mobile device and
PC? You can do so by connecting your mobile device to your PC using a
USB cable provided. Better still, you can connect them wirelessly via a
local WiFi network to do the same or even more without needing a cable.
Run the Play Store app.
Tap the Search button and enter the name of a remote desktop app, such as AirDroid (reviewed here).
Tap the app from the list and download it.
Open the app and start using it to connect your mobile to PC for
copying files wirelessly and doing even more between the two platforms.
You
might have a lot of your files you want to browse through, copy, rename
or delete them on your mobile device like the way you do in Windows.
Unfortunately you can't do much as Android 4.0 has not had a built-in
file manager, but you can easily install a third party app from the
Google Play Store.
Run the Play Store app.
Tap the Search button and enter the name of a file manager, such as ES File Explorer, one of the popular.
Tap the app from the list and download it.
Open the app and enjoy working with your files and folders on your mobile device.
Each
time you send out an email using the Email app, you can have a mail
signature, such as 'Sent from my mobile device', automatically added at
the end of your message.
Open the app Email, tap the Menu button, then Settings.
Tap the email account that you've set up.
Tap 'Signature', enter a signature in a few words you like then tap 'OK' to confirm.
If you frequently visit a web page, you can tap a web clip or
bookmark icon on your home screen and quickly access the page without
the need to touch the Browser icon. This web clip icon can be added to
your home screen easily:
On the page you often visit, tap the Menu button in Android's Browser.
Select 'Save to bookmarks'.
Edit the Label if necessary, then select 'Add to' and tap "Home Screen'.
Next time you visit the same web page, just tap the web clip icon on
your home screen. Some websites including Gizmo's Freeware have a web
clip icon which has been customized for you (see the screenshot).
At
the top of your screen, you will see notifications which report
calendar events, alarms, incoming mails or other ongoing events. Swipe
down from the top of the screen to reveal the list of notifications,
then swipe up from the O-sign to hide it.
Depending on the notification type, you can swipe a notification
sideway to dismiss it, or tap the X-sign to dismiss all from the list.
To access a notification, tap it and you're taken to the related
email, reminder, message or app. The notification then clears
automatically from the list where applicable.
Note: When you slide down from the top of the screen, you can also see this Quick Settings icon. Touching this icon is equivalent to running the Settings app.
Where’s the PrintScreen button when you need to take a screen shot of
your Android device? Instead of using one button, try a combination of
two:
Press and hold down the Power and Volume-down buttons simultaneously.
Open the Gallery app, and you can see your screenshot already saved in the Screenshots album.
Note: Older Android system doesn't support this feature, but
it has a more complicated way to take screenshots using Android SDK
such as this without rooting the device.
When
you're typing through, the system checks your spelling and suggests a
few words. Unless you've selected one of them, the highlighted suggested
word overwrites your word when you finish typing it followed by a
space, punctuation mark or return character. If you feel that's
annoying, you can turn off Auto-Correction.
Open the app Settings and select 'Language & input' under PERSONAL.
Tap the Quick Settings icon next to 'Android keyboard'.
Select 'Auto correction' under TEXT CORRECTION.
Select 'Off' to turn off 'Auto-Correction'.
Note: As an alternative, whenever a word is replaced not to
your liking, you can tap the Delete key immediately after which and the
system returns the word you've typed.
If you often need to switch between the on-screen Alphabet and Number
keyboards just to type a comma in a sentence, then why not check out
below to find out more? While on the Alphabet keyboard:
, (comma) => touch and hold the Full-stop key (.)
' (single quotation mark) => touch and hold the Full-stop key, and slide to choose the single quotation mark (')
" (double quotation mark) => touch and hold the Full-stop key, and slide to choose the double quotation mark (")
Turn caps lock on/off => double-tap the Shift key to lock, single-tap to unlock.
Special letters not on the keyboard? => touch and hold a key, then slide to choose a variation (See the screenshot).
Need just a digit or symbol from the Number keyboard? => touch the
?123 key and slide to a digit or symbol key, and you're back to the
Alphabet keyboard automatically.
While on the Number keyboard:
Symbols not on the keyboard? => touch and hold a key, then slide to
choose a variation, or tap the #\< key to find out more.
Often type an equation? => touch and hold the #\< key, tap a
sign and you're back to the Number keyboard when you release the #\<
key.
Need just a letter from the Alphabet keyboard? => touch the ABC key
and slide to a letter key, and you're back to the Number keyboard
automatically.
Other than the apps on the tray, sometimes it's difficult to quickly
look for an app to open if you have many icons spreading across a few
home screens. Why not create a folder to group similar apps together?
It's much easier than you might think.
Touch and hold any icon for a second.
Drag the icon over the top of another. The system then automatically groups two app icons in a folder.
Touch the folder, then tap "Unnamed Folder", key in a name for the folder and tap "Done".
You can rename a folder at any time—tap a folder then tap its name to rename.
While the system auto creates a folder for you, it does the same to
removing a folder automatically—tap a folder to expand it, then clear
all grouped items inside the folder—just touch and hold, then drag them
out from the folder one by one. Note: Older Android system doesn't support this feature, but you can rely on a third-party app such as GO Launcher EX to achieve almost the same effect.
