You’ve had your smartphone for a while. But let’s face it: You’ve never read the manual. You take great pride in the fact you know how to use it. Then, it happens.
You see someone do something extraordinary with his or her phone that you did not know was even possible. Friends don’t let friends have smartphone skill envy. Here are some of my favorite secrets buried in your phone settings that you probably don't know, but will use now.
Note: There are several versions of Android floating around out there. Your phone might not have some of these options, or they might be in slightly different places.
Type by swiping
Gesture typing allows you to compose messages by dragging your finger from letter to letter, which is super convenient if you’ve only got one hand to spare. It’s available through Google keyboard (which you can download for free in Google Play), though the default Samsung keyboard offers the gliding function as well, albeit without the floating previews.
2. Share apps, contact photos, and
music just by tapping phones.
The Android Beam (very sci-fi) allows you to instantly exchange almost anything — apps, contacts, music, videos, photos, and even certain app-specific items like favorite places on Foursquare or tagged songs in Shazam — .typically back to back, and then tapping to send. Check if your phone is NFC-enabled under “More” in Settings (or, for Samsung devices, Settings > Connections) and then turn on either Android Beam or S Beam right below the NFC option.
3. Play Multiplayer Local Wi-Fi Games in Android Mobile
as long as you and your friends on the same Wi-Fi, there are plenty of games on the Play Store which lets you enjoy games against or with each other. Some of these include Asphalt 8, Brothers in Arms 3 and Let’s Golf! 3 asphalt 8 etc
4. Instantly solve a math equation by taking a picture of it.
