Here are 5 basic tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your Android Device:
Install Multipurpose Apps
To get the most out of your Android phone, it is always a wise idea to save up crucial memory space and install apps which are multipurpose. Multipurpose apps can give users all related information in one app. For instance, you can find news from all leading newspapers and magazines on apps like Flipboard. Similarly, you can shop from multiple categories on apps like Kaymu and FlipKart. These apps have all the things in one place and by installing them, you can actually save up a lot of space you would otherwise have to consume by installing individual apps for each function.
Set Limit to Mobile Data Usage
A rookie mistake which a lot of people do is not setting a limit to data usage. By doing this, you may end up consuming more data than you initially planned for, leading to extra charges. Nothing can be more annoying than finding out that all your mobile credit has run out because you failed to keep tabs on the mobile data usage. Another useful tip is to always prefer Wi-Fi over mobile data.
Disable App Notifications
A lot of new android users have to face the annoying notifications which seem to pop up in the notification panel after every few minutes. App developers have designed the apps in a way to ensure that people keep coming back to their apps. Flooding notification panel with notifications is one of the ways they can do this. For all people who hate this annoying feature, you can turn off the notifications. Simply go to settings and under notification section, you can disable notifications of apps you don�t want.
Kill Background Apps and Tasks
One basic reason why android devices seem to get slow or run out of battery fast is the large number of background apps. You may have forgotten to switch off certain apps while other apps have the tendency to keep working even after you have switched them off. You can install a simple widget to kill background tasks and clear up much needed RAM space.
Set Brightness to Auto
The final useful tip is to set brightness to auto. Screen eats up most of your battery, even if the phone is on sleep. Auto brightness will ensure that the screen brightness gets adjusted according to the brightness levels of your surroundings.
There are many other tricks and tips to enhance Android experience but for newbies who have just entered into the world of Android, these 5 are the most basic and easiest to follow.
