Android Smartphones


If you are new to Android phones, you might want to pick up a few tips that will help you use the phone more effectively. The Android OS is a powerful one, but not quite user-friendly in the IOS sense of the word! However, when it comes to customization, Android beats Apple hands down. Here are a few features and applications that you may find useful:

1-by-1 Contact Widget

This is a very useful contact tool that lets you access your most important contacts details so you can call, text or email them with just a couple of taps. Android phones like the HTC One offer a 4-by-4 widget that is essentially the same, but allows more contacts to be stored. Put this widget on your home screen and your most-beloved is just a tap-tap away.

Automatic Updates

This is something that Apple has only just come up with on the iOS7, but Android phones have had this for a while. In your settings page, just check the Auto-update Apps box and youre good to go. If youre worried about data usage, then you can opt for WiFi Only updates or ask the phone to notify you when apps are being updated.

Gesture Keyboard

If you thought Android phones meant that youre stuck with the physical QWERTY keyboard, think again, because apps like Swype will let you use a virtual swipe-and-type keyboard for extreme convenience.

Text Messages on other Devices

The best part about Android phones is third-party apps. On an IOS device, you have to have something like Cydia to be able to download and use third-party applications but with Android, its much simpler. One of the great apps to have is the text-sharing one called MightyText. Just install the app and follow the clear steps and you can have your text messages pop up on your computer, tablet or any other device.

Photo Transfer

Android phones are far superior to Apples devices in that photo-sharing is a breeze on one and a beach on the other! Just plug your device to your computer and you can easily access whatever photos you need to put on your computer, pen drive or other devices. Its as simple as drag and drop, and you dont need special software like iTunes to get it to work.

Get your Money Back for Unwanted Apps

Purchases on iTunes are pretty much set in stone; but with Android phones, you have 15 minutes to try out a purchase before you decide to keep or return it. On the downloads page, you will see a Refund button just below the Install button just click on that, confirm on the pop up and the amount will be credited back into the card you used to pay for it.

With all these great features and apps, people who use Android phones for the first time often find that they cant bring themselves to use any other OS ever again. Go Android!
