Manual

1) On / off
A good way to quickly switch Flight Mode on or off or to do the same thing with Silent Mode is to press and hold the power button on your phone to display a menu with choices, the third of which is to turn off your handset at all. Sure beats having to drill down into the settings menu every time.

2) Menu button
Keep your finger on the button menu and if you are lucky, the soft keyboard will appear. Now, we say "if you're lucky" because it is not quite the case on all phones. Pure Android Nexus device, it will work. On HTC Sense it will work as long as you're in an app that uses the keyboard and the Samsung TouchWiz keyboard will appear along with proper search in any application you happen to get in

Perhaps the most useful part of this function is actually when it comes to getting rid of the keyboard but it will only work with HTC phones and Nexus. Press and hold and will disappear again. Very useful when it comes to filling out online forms in your browser without having to send information that you have just typed in.

3) Search button
Remember that the Android phone is equipped with a powerful enough voice search function that will take you directly to the relevant Google search results page whatever you think has just said. Press and hold the Search button to jump directly to the Voice Search. With Samsung, it's a little different. Otherwise you may find that Voice Search is powered by Vlingo and requires little set up. Pay off is that it will offer more function once you're done: SMS and phone calls, for example activation. Seeing as there's a key on some Samsung smartphones, try double tapping the Home Key instead.

4) Home Key
Press and hold the Home Key and it will bring up a small display of your most recent apps you've used, and it is surprising how much faster that makes accessing your usuals than hitting the app menu and then flipping through the screens until you find what you are looking for . TouchWiz on Samsung phone also offers access to the Task Manager at the same time.

5) Application button box
This is only a tip Nexus yet have an equivalent in the other UIs with Propeller View (see 44). Android has a lot of homescreens in desktop and quick way to navigate from one to the other without having to swipe your way through all the rest is to press and hold the application box at the bottom of the desktop screen. Up pops the mini icons of each of your panels. Press whatever you want to jump directly to it.

6) In the text (copy & paste)
Arguably the most useful is to press and hold on the text which kick start the cut, copy and paste functions. We can try to explain exactly how it is done but it is largely a matter of talent. Have a play for yourself but generally a two part process. First highlight the text and then click on what you have chosen to cut, copy or paste.

7) On the desktop
Finally, to press and hold, put your finger anywhere on the empty desktop space and you will find the key to the whole other side of your Android phone. Up pops your customization menu offers a world of widgets, shortcuts, folders and wallpapers all to help make your own desktop, and that's what we're looking at the front.

Customisation

Customisation is one of the major benefits of buying into the Android platform. There is a lot you can do with your phone to make your own. So, if you are not using your equipment to maximum potential, here are some tips to get a little more on that front. Remember, press and hold anywhere on your desktop to start.

8) Widget
You've got a lot of desktop space. You may also use it for something. Now widgets do drain the battery, CPU usage and data in some cases as well, so the message to pick and choose carefully. Fortunately, there are oodles of them out there to pour through and you will very quickly work out which would be good for you. You can download a particular widget from Andoid Market, found some that come with the UI as standard and others that are actually part of the application that you've downloaded to your device.

9) shortcuts to web
Not every website has an app but a good way to make your own version is to create a desktop shortcut to the page that you can click directly from your homescreen. For example, some of us here at Pocket-lint are keen football fan and no fan of football without Newsnow page in their browser bookmarks. There is no app for Android or iOS Newsnow but one click shortcut launches the phone's browser and bring you directly through to the news portal. It will work for any web page you choose.

10) Shortcuts to your application
Of course, some of your favorite sites and services that have applications and you may have already downloaded it from the Android Market. Whatever you find yourself using most often worth dragging to your homescreen that will give you one-touch access to the grid rather than having to go and find their app from there. All you need to do to set it up is to head to the application launcher, tap and hold on the app icon you want to move and you will be able to drag and drop it wherever you like.

11) Shortcut to contact you
So, we have a web application and we've only useful but is a shortcut for your contacts. Chances are that there is someone special in your life that you call or text most often, so head to the Shortcuts menu and plonk a direct dial or direct message icons for them on your site. It will probably save you at least five clicks per day.

12) homescreens
There are many homescreens on your Android desktop. Use them. You do not have to fill every single bit of space until you can see your wallpaper, but it might be worth allocate different functions to each. You can have one screen for your audio applications with radio, podcasts, MP3 player and music recognition items: one for shortcuts to your imaging camera, photo gallery and widgets, and maybe one for all of your social networking or whatever you use for smartphones. Just an idea.

13) Folder
Six desktop or not, it's easy to get your homescreens clogged with icons, widgets and shortcuts. That's what folders are for. As with shortcuts, widgets and wallpapers, you can set this by pressing and holding anywhere on an empty part of your desktop customization tool until a menu appears. It might be worth making a folder for your web shortcuts or even the most frequently used applications. You can put anything in it. Just do not forget to label them.

14) Wallpaper
Ok, so the live wallpaper can slow down your thoughts (see 29) but they are certainly not a no-no. Head to the Android Market and you can find all sorts of interesting to download which sometimes offer up to the minute information interesting bits and gorgeous background for your desktop. Of course, you can always just use a still image including snaps you have taken yourself. Press the Menu key, head to the wallpaper and dig around.

15) Change your dock
Almost all Android phones come with a dock icon that sits at the bottom of your screen whenever you are outside the application. The good thing is that, in some cases, you can move items in and out of this. There is no play in the Nexus Android phone straight or Sense but allowed in Samsung's TouchWiz interface, and other heavy UIs, by heading into the grid application, press the Menu key and then hit Edit. You must remove an icon from the dock before you add another application by dragging it into position.

16) Lock Screen
Your phone is a gold mine of information, so look after it, eh? Head to the Settings menu, select Location and Security section and set a personal screen lock pattern. Not only work better but look pretty futuristic too. Just do not choose the pattern of G. It is rather obvious.

Sound

It's not just the look of your phone that you can customize. Head to the Sound menu after you press the Menu button and go to Settings and bus trips some fiddling will get plunked in your lap.

17) contact Blacklist
If there is someone you do not speak to, head to your Contacts section and it is possible to blacklist them. It depends on your handset, but how to do it on a straight Android to select a name from the contact list, press the Menu key, then Options, and you will see a check box appears with "send calls directly to voicemail". In such as TouchWiz UI, you may see an option as the Blacklist or another name. Under the other part when you press the Menu button. You can see who is currently in the bad books on some of your phone if you head to Settings, and then Call Rejection Call area.

18) Gold contact list
Ok, so there is no such thing as Gold List, but you get the point, this is for the person you really like. Although you can easily create groups for your contacts, pretty good way to do this is to assign a specific ringtone for the people who you always wanted to take on. That way, you do not need to take your handset out of your pocket to know that you do not want to answer. In each contact, you will find a sub-menu where you can choose a sound for everyone.

19) MP3 ringtones
While you adjust the contact friends' profiles, do not forget that you not only have to use the ringtone that comes as standard on your phone. Sure, you can download a few more but better still use your own MP3s. So, whether it's a sound clip, funny sound or song that reminds you of them, click where it currently says Ringtones default on their contact card and hit Select Sound from My Files or equivalent in the UI.

20) Silent e-mail
Is e-mail notification of new arrivals actually as important as receiving a text? Worth asking yourself, especially if you get spammed a fair bit. You can disable the sound notification e-mail or just change to something else. Hit the menu once in the Gmail app, then more and you will find your choice once in the bottom of the Settings menu.

Power Saving

Smartphones made only lasts for a day, or at least the power supply. All the same, it is possible to extend the battery life for a little longer than you get at this time and, with careful management, they should be able to get you from dawn to dusk and even beyond when you need them to. Here is how.

21) Wi-Fi off
Wi-Fi is great when you are at home, in the office or in a place you can actually use the WLAN, but there is no point in leaving the Wi-Fi antenna when you are out and about. When you are busy in the world, it would be panic scanning your environment for any wireless signal can discover and that takes its toll on the battery. With smartphones stretched to make it through the day on a single charge, you're best off saving the juice for something else.

22) Bluetooth off
Similarly, other Bluetooth deplete energy reserves classic on your phone. It's all very well that your handset is equipped with Bluetooth 3.0 standard is very recent but, if you do not actually use it, then turn it off.

23) Auto-brightness display
A brief look into the battery usage menu you will be a bit of a wake up call to how much power to use your own display. We would not suggest you do not watch videos or play games (after all, where would be the fun in having a smartphone?) But we suggest you make sure the screen brightness set to auto. The light sensor will detect your phone back-lighting how many phones you will need to create the look that you can see. Just a pity there is not enough under the hood when you are in bright sunlight. Head to the Settings menu and views of you will find what you are looking for.

24) Power Saver Settings
All of the above can be switched automatically according to how much battery power is left. Both HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz handset comes with Power Saving Settings menu in which you can customize it exactly like that.

25) Task Manager
Another classic way of ripping your battery is tons of power-hungry applications running in the background that you do not even realize it was still on. If you are not careful, it can wrack and last all day. The best way around this is to use task manager or some kind of task killer apps, the appropriately named TasKiller one that many choose. Better yet is to get a program monitor widget on your desktop and, indeed, some such as Samsung's TouchWiz UI comes with one pre-installed. They will show loud and clear just how many processes are running in the background and let you end that you do not want anymore.

26) Video and sound speaker
In danger of teaching you to suck eggs, do bear in mind that watching videos and playing music through the speaker phone you will nail your battery, so do not think about how many things you do. While we're on the subject, playing games, using both ring and vibrate at high volume all the other things to keep your eyes. We are not saying do not have fun, but these are all things to consider if you're looking to curb your battery profile. There are many applications using the battery as well as some of the menus in the phone that will give you an idea of ​​what your biggest resource drain is. Press the Settings menu to see better and, if you find anything in there, head to the Android Market.

27) Spare Battery
If you really want to be arrogant, then do consider buying yourself a spare battery to carry around. That's the advantage of having a phone with a removable battery. Of course, the next problem is remembering to swap batteries in and out of your phone to charge them, but we'll leave you to deal with that one.

28) Emergency
When it really hits the fan, you glide up in smoke and you need to stay in contact, then it is time to take drastic measures to eke out your power as long as you can. Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but also kill sync, volume, vibration, rotation screen, all background applications and change the screen brightness right down. You can do most of this in the settings menu you can access by pressing the Menu button on the desktop. Once you do all that, put your phone in your pocket and leave it there. No checking every 5 minutes to see how much power you have left.

Speed

Phone get a bit laggy? Having trouble swiping left to right? Just before you curse your service provider to sell you some lump of dirt, here are a few little things to watch out for it just might smooth out your journey.

29) There is no live wallpapers
Live wallpapers are all very nice but it does take a number of resources to keep the animation and updated, depending on what it is. The older the handset you are, the more they become and the date of the specification, to keep you rolling smoothly desktop, probably a good idea just to stick to the background, still innocent.

30) widgets Less
In the same way, you may want to ditch some of those widgets that you do not use so often. No need to cut them all right - unless you're really desperate - but streamlining will definitely help use your data, start up time, speed and efficiency as well.

31) Kill your application
We'll say it again. Get yourself a monitor app / task killer of some sort. If you've got 1,001 applications running in the background, it's not just going to rinse your battery, but also slow down whatever task you are really trying to do right down.

32) Update System
Is that your user habits primary interface or Android OS itself, both will want to upgrade from time to time, each time an update is available, and this is something that should be rewarded when they come. While the main reason to download and install the new packages are often based features, there is always a raft of bug fixes and speed bumps that treats floats on top.

Press the Menu button, then Settings, and all the way down and the phone About where you will be able to check for updates. Most of the time though, you will probably see an update popping up in the notification bar at the top of the screen rather than having to go and search for them manually.

33) Factory reset
It is the last desperate measure but worth a crack before you give up and buy a new phone. All of this customization, web browsing and downloading and wiping applications and documents can take its toll as it does on your PC. Wiping the phone and start again may give your phone only breathing space it needs to get its act together. Head to the Privacy Settings menu and do not go touching the Factory Reset button just for a laugh. Do not forget to come back right first. (See 72)

Storage space

There are two types of storage on your phone and, if you do not know it, then it is essential that you have read this section.

34) Manage your space
Some handsets are blessed with more storage space in the phone than others, and some users are also blessed with more money to buy a higher capacity microSD cards for their return. Managing the files exactly where the part is not exactly the easiest thing to do, so what we suggest is to export the photos and especially videos from your phone to your computer is a fairly regular basis. You can do this by connecting the USB cable to your PC and cut and paste files or using software such as DoubleTwist (see 62).

It will most likely take care of your microSD card, but, as far as you're concerned onboard memory, it will clog your application it. Two options to trim your collection or ...

35) ... Moving apps to SD
Android 2.2 Froyo update brings an excellent feature which is the ability to move an application up and store them on your microSD card instead of taking what precious little internal, on-board memory the handset phone that you may have. To make the switch, head to the Manage Apps menu (either by pressing the menu button from the desktop or the application once on the grid), and then select "download" and then you have to click on each one to see if you are allowed to move it to the SD card. Not all developers have caught up with this yet, so it is not possible to do so with all applications but should ease the pressure on your memory management problems.

 36) Do not move apps to SD
Therefore, because the move to SD is still a bit new, not all applications run very well on the removable storage. So, if you see one do not behave as they should, or force closes a little too often, and then moved back to the phone memory will probably solve the problem.

 37) Buy a bigger microSD
Do you move your application for it or not, that is where you will end up storing music, video and images, and you get the HD more taste, more megapixels your camera has and the more you rely on your phone with its HDMI out as carrying about the media player, the more space you will need. The largest current version is 32GB and you can choose one for around £ 40. Something for a birthday gift, perhaps.

Other control

It's not all about the hold. There are few things more simple but it is really important to understand a little bit strange and useful tricks.

38) Multitasking - Home or Back?
They might bring you to the same place but there is a difference between pressing the Home button and pressing the Return key from within an application. Meanwhile Back close the application, hit the Home instead will effectively minimize and leave it running in the background. The latter is great if you want to multitask but, if it was an accident, you will end up draining your battery and maybe even allocation of data you do not need to fast.

39) Voice entry
One of the nice things about Android is that since the beginning of the OS has been arranged so that each field in the OS, the application or otherwise, may be filled using Google entries sound system. It's not perfect and it's not the best choice for every situation, but if you're writing an SMS or e-mail, you may find it faster to use your voice and then go back and fix two or three errors manually rather than typing it all out from scratch.

40) Automatic Rotation
Accelerometer is a wonderful thing but the top and bottom for you is the relative experience and when you are lying on your back staring at your phone, the screen does tend to play only when you do not want it. The way around this is to turn off auto-rotate just for this occasion. You'll find that option in the View menu in the settings which you can access by pressing the Menu button on the desktop screen. Better yet is to set the Display menu as shortcut icons on your desktop which means you only need two clicks to activate the auto-rotation on and off at will.

41) Search Settings
Search facility on your mobile phone - both powered by a Google widget or key your own search - can be said to see all sorts of interesting places for the results. In fact, it's up to you which one looks. Once on the search screen, press the Menu button and then Settings Search and you will be able to choose which application you are involved. So, you might be able to get your phone to search for results in the tweets you follow on Twitter, your SMS message, the music, the Dropbox folder or nearly all of the applications you download.

42) Quick Call
Remember that text is an interactive media in this day and age. If you see the phone number you want to call written in one of your applications, your email or on the web, try pressing with your finger to see if it will bring you to the dialer with the number copied in. It doesn 't always work and you may need to add 0 in early sometimes, but always worth a try before going down the route of copy and paste, or, even worse, really have to take the pen.

43) Date of inspection
Not sure what day it is? Written notification page at the top left corner of the screen and, instead of dragging the whole lot down from above with a sweep of your finger, you can just tap or drag a little to reveal how the day calendar stands.

 44) See Propeller
HTC created, the Samsung "borrowed" it; saw blades is something that works on multiple UIs to give a nice quick overhead all your homescreens in one. Only pinches on your desktop to bring it and then select one of them or zoom out with the opposite action.
