Top 7 Android Smartphone Tricks

7 Best Tricks For Android Mobile.

1. Activate the Android Power Strip...

The single most important feature in Android 2.1 is its built-in power strip widget.
Here, you're able to quickly disconnect all the phone's battery-destroying features, like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the Great Batter Killer that is GPS.

Long-press on the screen and install it via the widgets category.

2. Android call screening...

If you're a paranoid call-screener, Android is there for you.
Open up the Contacts listing of the person you're currently avoiding, then select Menu > Options.
From here you're able to ping all incoming calls from this person directly to voicemail. Give people the brush off with Android.

3. Set up custom caller ringtones...

Alternatively, if you like talking to people, the same screen lets you allocate a specific
custom ringtone to each caller stored in your Contacts directory.

4. Add your alarm clock to your task killer...

A classic mistake, this. We're constantly being told of the (debatable) importance of using a task manager to maximise Android battery life,
and if you want to go down that route you're welcome.
However, when killing all your tasks to save battery life, remember that your alarm clock
is a task in itself - kill that and you'll wake up in a panic at 10.15am tomorrow morning.

5. Organise things into folders...

While Steve Jobs may have recently made quite a big deal about letting iOS users organise things into folders,
Android's been doing that for ages. Fancy a quick Home screen shortcut to your starred favourite contacts?
Long-press the Home screen and make it so.

6. Rename Android folders...

And, once you've done that, to customise things to perfection it's possible to rename folders.
Simply open the folder, then long-press on its name in the top bar to bring up the Top Secret renaming field.

7. Check the date

Possibly one of the tiniest undocumented features is the date-checking facility.
Press the Notification bar at the top left of the screen.
It tells you what the date is. Go on, try it. It will.
