<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Jelly Bean may not be the same huge
leap forward as Ice Cream Sandwich, but it still brings a lot of new features
and functionality to the operating system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Many of these are improvements to the
smoothness of rendering on the device - it even briefly boosts the CPU when the
screen's turned on to make things super slick and speedy. Google dubs these
little performance and software improvements as being "buttery",
assumedly referring to some nice spreadable Lurpak rather than a solidified
hunk of congealed milk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The other big addition here is Google
Now. This adds personalised recommendations and information based on your
browsing history. Some people love its perceptive usefulness, others hate its
pervy, intrusive nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing's for sure though: the
Siri-like voice search feature is awesome.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">As ever, these tips are based on the
vanilla installation of Android, so your mileage may vary depending on how many
layers of extra "features" have been added by your phone or tablet's
manufacturer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">1. Say "Google" to search<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">If you're in America, you can open
Google Now and say "Google" followed by your query to search the net.
If you're not in America, you can trick Android into thinking you are. Open the
settings on your device, choose "Language and input", then switch
Google Voice Typing's language from "Automatic" to "English
(US)". Next go to Google Now's settings and again change the language to
"English (US)". You should see "Search or say Google" in
Now's search bar. Faking an American accent: optional.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">2. Now settings<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">You can open now in two ways - either
swipe up from the Home icon, or swipe the lock icon up when the screen is
locked. When you first start it, Now will run through the basics of what it
does, and even show you some example cards. In Now's settings, you'll find each
card has its own notifications settings, which apply to both the Now homescreen
and the Notification shade. Standard means that new cards are accompanied by a
ringtone and vibration, Low priority places them at the bottom of the list
without any notification, and off, well, turns them off altogether.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">3. Talk to Google Now<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Google Now also includes Siri-like
functionality, supplying spoken answers to your inane questions. Try things
like, "what time is it in Kuala Lumpur?", "when's Tom Cruise's
birthday I want to send him a card?", "how do I get home?" or
"will it be sunny tomorrow?" and Now will speak the answer back at
you or search the web for relevant pages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">4. Get more Google Now cards<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Google Now presents relevant
information such as weather and places on "cards". To begin with it
may be a little sparse, but searching the web from any device will give you
more. Just make sure your web history is enabled: visit history.google.com, hit
the settings cog and ensure that Web History is on and not paused. Next, search
Google for favourite football teams, planned flights and destinations and the
relevant cards will pop up automatically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">5. Notification Shade<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">We previously referred to it as the
"pully-down menu thing", but apparently it's officially called the
"Notification Shade". Niftily, certain notifications in the shade can
be expanded by sliding two fingers outwards on them, giving you an overview of
the subject headers in your email inbox, for example. Moving two fingers
inwards on a notification neatly contracts them, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">6. Rotation lock<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">You're sitting on a plane watching a
vid in horizontal orientation. Suddenly, the plane banks sharply to the left
and - oh no! - the video changes orientation. This worst-case-scenario can be
avoided by tapping the rotation lock in the Notification Shade, which keeps the
screen in its current orientation. Tap it again to unlock the rotation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">7. Turn notifications off<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Install enough apps and the
notification bar at the top of your Android device becomes the digital
equivalent of an unending stream of ticker tape. In fact, Airpush is an entire
advertising company that makes money in this way. Fortunately, each and every
app you install in Jelly Bean has the option to turn this off. Go to its info
page under Apps, uncheck the box labelled "Show notifications" and
enjoy your empty notifications bar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">8. Equalise your music<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The ability to adjust those
all-important bass and treble settings has been sorely missed on Android
devices - so much so that a bunch of apps have been made to enable it. It's
fixed in Android's stock music player, though. Open a music file in the stock
player, hit Settings then choose Equaliser. Here you'll find manual sliders, a
load of presets and bass and 3D effects. Unfortunately it doesn't work for the
whole device, but it will give your tunes a little more oomph.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">9. Rearrange your home screens<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Long-press on any icon or widget on
your homescreen and you can move it around, and other icons and widgets will
shift out of the way to fit it in. Bigger widgets can also be resized by
long-pressing and releasing them, and then dragging the circles that appear on
the edges. It's actually quite fun and satisfying. We just spent three hours
doing nothing but this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">10. Fling to remove<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Homescreen app clutter (surely the
worst of all types of clutter) can be quickly and easily defeated. Long-press
an icon or widget, then fling it upwards and it'll ascend into shortcut heaven.
This won't uninstall the app, though - it'll still reside in your app drawer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">11. Owner info<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Wait! Put down that blunt rock you were
about to use to chisel your contact details into the back of your Android
device! Jelly Bean includes the ability to display a few lines of contact
details on the lock screen, such as your email address, name and phone number.
You'll need to enable a screen lock from Security, and then you'll see the
Owner info option appear. This information is mirrored across all Jelly Bean
devices, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">12. Access App info<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The all-important App info screen -
which allows you to uninstall, stop and disable apps - can be accessed in a
completely new way with Jelly Bean. Pull down the notification shade,
long-press on an open task and you'll be taken straight to the settings page
for the relevant app. It's handy if you don't know which app displayed the
notification.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">13. Volume controls<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">You can now set the volume for all the
noisiest bits of your Android device individually. Press the volume up or down
key and you'll the familiar little slider with a settings icon to the right of
this. Tap this and you'll see separate sliders for media, and notifications and
ringtones. Bonus tip: each of these sliders can be, er, slid, with your finger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">14. Talkback<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Designed for blind and low-vision
users, Talkback provides an ongoing narration of what's displayed on your phone
or tablet. You can turn it on via Accessibility, and then you'll be taken
through a tutorial of its functions. It's a very different way of navigating
your device, and quite interesting to experience. It also supports braille
input and output devices via USB and Bluetooth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">15. Blink to unlock<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">While face unlock is smart and quick,
more paranoid users may worry that a ne'er-do-weller could somehow steal an
image of their face - or their actual face - and use it to access the device.
Android's Liveness check requires the user to blink before the device is
unlocked, preventing access if a quick eye-shut isn't detected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">16. Offline speech-to-text<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Being able to dictate long and rambling
texts to loved ones is quite an old Android feature, but it's just got a whole
lot better with an offline mode. Go to Google voice typing settings under
Language & input and choose Download offline speech recognition. Now you'll
be able to dictate that great novel without being distracted by Reddit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">17. Beam it across<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Android Beam works with near-field
communication (NFC) to enable fast data exchange between two devices. You'll
need to make sure it's enabled first - you'll find it under Wireless &
networks. You'll also need to know where the NFC area is on your device. This
isn't a problem for phones, but it can be just about anywhere on the back of a
ludicrously large tablet, so do a quick Google to find out where it is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">18. Simple secure pairing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Simple secure pairing works alongside
NFC to provide a quick and easy way to connect Bluetooth accessories such as
headsets, speakers and keyboards. You don't actually need to do anything other
than activate NFC to use it, but make sure whatever you're pairing with is
Simple secure pairing-compatible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Any events you've been invited to via
Google Calendar will show up in the notifications blind. From here you can
expand it and quickly send a pre-defined response (Such as "I'll be there
in 10 minutes") or type your own. Quick responses can be edited from
within the General settings of the Calendar app itself. Perfect for you social
butterflies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Android snappers will love its new
gallery features. Pinch on photos to zoom out into a filmstrip mode, where all
your pics are displayed side-by-side. Swipe left and right to browse all your
snaps quickly, and slide up and down on individual images to delete them. The
gallery then gives you just enough time to realise you've canned the wrong
thing and undo your delete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you're on public or mobile WiFi. Tethering a tablet to a phone can suck a
surprising amount of data, and public WiFi, such as that found in hotels, sometimes
have ridiculously strict usage policies. In Jelly Bean's Data usage settings
you'll find the option to designate certain WiFi networks as Mobile hotspots,
which stops background apps accessing data and could save you lots of cash. If
there's another Jelly Bean device on the same network it'll pick up its Mobile
hotspot settings, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

popular among Android users, and for good reason: it monitors your typing and
grammatical style uses this to predict words. Jelly Bean's keyboard now offers
the same functionality, using bigram prediction and correction to complete
words and sentences. We've found it to be every bit as good as Swiftkey, and
even slightly faster and slicker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Windows PCs. Thanks to the sheer amount of dodgy apps on the Play Store it's on
Android now, too. Long-press the power button, then long-press the Power off
option. Choose OK to reboot in safe mode, which completely disables all
third-party apps on your device. Then hunt down and destroy that nefarious bit
of software..<o:p></o:p></span></div>

options for each installed app, and on the whole this is a very good thing.
Sometimes it can be a bad thing, though: you may find your phone playing up
because a crucial app has been disabled, or you've changed the notifications
for something important like emails. In the apps drawer, you'll find Reset app
preferences under the settings. This resets all your apps on a global level,
returning actions and data settings to their original levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

version of emoticons, and like most things from Japan they're much better and
cooler than their western counterparts. You can enable emoji support for the
default Jelly Bean keyboard by choosing Language & input in the settings
app, then going to the settings for the stock Android keyboard. Here, choose
Add-on dictionaries and select Emoji for English words. When you next type
certain words (there's a complete list here) you'll see its symbol appear in
the predictions bar. It's like Wingdings never died.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

own version of Shazam. Known as What's that Song?, the widget works in much the
same way, matching snippets of music to its database and providing you with the
artist, track and album. The bad news: due to licencing restrictions it's only
available in certain countries, and we don't live in one of them. Keep an eye
on your widgets tray when you update, though - Google could well re-implement
it in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are great for passing around and sharing. But until now switching between
various Google accounts has involved wiping the whole device and starting
again. Jelly Bean's handy Add account feature takes pride of place in the
settings app, making it easy to add multiple Gmail addresses to your device.
There's still no quick way of switching users, but it is a step in the right

power button and volume down to take a screenshot is truly astonishing. It gets
even better in Jelly Bean - as soon as you've taken a screenshot, you can
expand its notification from the blind and share it from there. Perfect for
showing off just how handsome and brilliant Android is to your iOS friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

on their devices love encryption: it basically scrambles all your content so it
can't be read by hackers or thieves. It's been a part of Android for a while,
but Jelly Bean gets it spot on, even periodically reminding you to encrypt your
device. You'll find Encryption under your phone or tablet's security settings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your device, then long press its button and voila: Google voice search. You'll

Labs section of Android 4.0's web browser is the Quick Controls option. This
adds a pop-out menu to the browser, which pulls in a little semi-circular
collection of shortcuts to the main browser features, removing the URL bar and
giving you more screen to play with. Also, holding down the Back button is the
Android standard way of bringing up the bookmarks and history tool, too. But
that's been around for years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

within Android 4.0 is this strange little collection of flying Androids, which
you can... look at. Look at for as long as you like. To activate it, head into
the phone's About screen and hammer away at the Android Version tab and it'll
all happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

saying it makes the pages black and turns the text white, so it looks like
you're reading the internet from 1997. It also supposedly saves battery, plus
is easier on the eyes if you're reading in the dark. It's under the browser's
settings tab, within the accessibility area - and there's a contrast slider,
too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

interrupted by someone actually telephoning you, there's a polite way to give
the caller the boot. Android 4.0 lets users ping a rejection text message to
callers - and you're able to customise this too. Just answer a call and ping
the lock screen notification up to access to custom rejection messaging area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

way Google lets apps automatically add shortcuts to themselves on your Home
screen when they've finished installing. It's useful, but if you're a control
freak and wish to remain 100% in charge of your Home layout, head to the Google

notifications area isn't just art to fill the space. It's a shortcut to your
phone or tablet's settings area. So use that instead of giving it a Home screen

multitasking menu also lets you close apps quickly, should you suspect one's
gone rogue. A Long-press within the Recent Apps listing lets you visit the

Android 4.0 lock screen, making the phone instantly turn itself on when you
press the power button. It's a security nightmare, but if your phone lives
entirely on your desk and you demand instant access without any unlocking, head
to Security > Screen lock and select none. Then be very careful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

formation makes it dead easy to combine app shortcuts and make folders, simply by
dragging one icon on top of another. You can make these groups of apps even
easier to access by dragging a folder onto the ICS floating dock, meaning you
can squeeze stacks more content on to each creaking Home screen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

with the Galaxy Nexus has one cool little extra feature - the ability to fire
off still photos while recording video clips. Simply tapping the screen takes a
shot at full resolution, which is saved to the phone's gallery while the

section of the Ice Cream Sandwich software are quite a few nerdy ways to adapt
your phone. Most won't be of any use to those who are just using their phone as
a phone, but if you want it to feel faster, or at least look a little
different, the scrolling, zooming effects on windows and menus can be edited in
many ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is finally in Android. On the Galaxy Nexus, it's activated through holding the
power button and volume down switch. On HTC's new models it's done by holding
the power button and pressing Home. Other phones had different techniques for
doing this before Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's good to see this now becoming

in the Galaxy Nexus, lets you unlock it by scanning your face with the front
camera. Which is great, but what if you haven't shaved for a month? The
software can actually store multiple images of your face, so you can do left
parting, right parting, shaved, unshaved - or even add a trusted a friend to
the visually verified user list.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Development options tab is the hardware acceleration 'Force On' toggle.
This makes ICS attempt to boost the performance of any apps that don't already
use the feature. It may also break them in the process, though, so it's
something of a trial and error fiddling exercise to do on a very rainy day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stars, a pretty computer generated planet or even the mighty Professor Brian
Cox himself? Long-pressing on any image in the web browsers lets you instantly
set it as your wallpaper, without the hassle of saving it, finding it, and
setting it the long way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of fiddling, the same ICS developer area contains the option to "limit
background process" demands by the OS. You can use this to stop your phone
or tablet storing so many apps in memory. Whether this has any effect of the
actual battery life of us users is up for debate, but again, it's something to
play with and see if it suits your phone use patterns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Google's made in Android 4.0 - the Notifications pane can be accessed from the
lock screen. Press power, touch the Notifications area, then scroll down to
read your latest messages. Obviously it's a bit of a security risk and lets
anyone access your messages, so best be careful.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Google's latest version of its Android
software takes it up to version 4.0 and higher, which is commonly known as the
Ice Cream Sandwich update of the mobile OS. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The big selling point is that it unifies the
experience across all hardware, so users of phones running ICS see largely the
same interface, albeit with some layout changes for the bigger screened
devices.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></div>

manufacturer skins to take into account. While Android 4.0 offers a basic and
seriously updated feature set, some tools and features may be missing or
accessed through different means when using the same OS on phones made by
different companies.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So Samsung's Android 4.0 update, which we're
seeing arrive on its Galaxy S II right now, looks and works differently to the
Android 4.0 you'll shortly see arriving on HTC's exciting new One Series of
phones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Which makes compiling a list of tips that
work on all versions of the OS out there rather hard. But enough of our
moaning. Here are a few useful shortcuts to getting the most out of your Ice
Cream Sandwich serving, whenever the metaphorical waitress decides to bring it
to your metaphorical table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

Add quick controls to the browser<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One of the options buried beneath the Labs
section of Android 4.0's web browser is the Quick Controls option. This adds a
pop-out menu to the browser, which pulls in a little semi-circular collection
of shortcuts to the main browser features, removing the URL bar and giving you
more screen to play with. Also, holding down the Back button is the Android
standard way of bringing up the bookmarks and history tool, too. But that's
been around for years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Long-press to uninstall<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Long-pressing on an app within the app drawer
lets you drag it to a Home screen, but it also pops up a couple of menus along
the top of the screen. App Info gives you the boring technical stuff about how
much memory it's taking up, or you can fling it off the other way to uninstall
it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One odd undocumented little secret within
Android 4.0 is this strange little collection of flying Androids, which you
can... look at. Look at for as long as you like. To activate it, head into the
phone's About screen and hammer away at the Android Version tab and it'll all
happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Save your eyes with inverted rendering<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Inverted rendering is a posh way of saying it
makes the pages black and turns the text white, so it looks like you're reading
the internet from 1997. It also supposedly saves battery, plus is easier on the
eyes if you're reading in the dark. It's under the browser's settings tab,
within the accessibility area - and there's a contrast slider, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When your Twitter action is rudely
interrupted by someone actually telephoning you, there's a polite way to give
the caller the boot. Android 4.0 lets users ping a rejection text message to
callers - and you're able to customise this too. Just answer a call and ping
the lock screen notification up to access to custom rejection messaging area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One of the many new ICS features is the way
Google lets apps automatically add shortcuts to themselves on your Home screen
when they've finished installing. It's useful, but if you're a control freak
and wish to remain 100% in charge of your Home layout, head to the Google Play
app's settings tab and untick the Auto-add Shortcuts toggle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">7.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">That little settings icon in the ICS
notifications area isn't just art to fill the space. It's a shortcut to your
phone or tablet's settings area. So use that instead of giving it a Home screen
icon slot all to itself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Google's lovely new recent apps multitasking
menu also lets you close apps quickly, should you suspect one's gone rogue. A
Long-press within the Recent Apps listing lets you visit the app's info page,
from where you can easily force close it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">9.
Remove the lock screen<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It's possible to entirely bin your Android
4.0 lock screen, making the phone instantly turn itself on when you press the
power button. It's a security nightmare, but if your phone lives entirely on
your desk and you demand instant access without any unlocking, head to Security
> Screen lock and select none. Then be very careful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">10.
Folders in the dock<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Android's new official love of folder
formation makes it dead easy to combine app shortcuts and make folders, simply
by dragging one icon on top of another. You can make these groups of apps even
easier to access by dragging a folder onto the ICS floating dock, meaning you
can squeeze stacks more content on to each creaking Home screen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Take photos while recording video<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The Android 4.0 camera app that arrived with
the Galaxy Nexus has one cool little extra feature - the ability to fire off
still photos while recording video clips. Simply tapping the screen takes a
shot at full resolution, which is saved to the phone's gallery while the
video's still happily recording away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">12.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hidden within the Developer Options section
of the Ice Cream Sandwich software are quite a few nerdy ways to adapt your
phone. Most won't be of any use to those who are just using their phone as a
phone, but if you want it to feel faster, or at least look a little different,
the scrolling, zooming effects on windows and menus can be edited in many ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">13.
Take a grab of your phone<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Screen grabbing of your phone's display is
finally in Android. On the Galaxy Nexus, it's activated through holding the
power button and volume down switch. On HTC's new models it's done by holding
the power button and pressing Home. Other phones had different techniques for
doing this before Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's good to see this now becoming
part of the standard Android feature set in Android 4.0. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When typing on the Android 4.0 keyboard, you
may see some suggested words appear with the "..." icon beneath.
Doing a long-press on this one will pop up a much bigger window of suggested
words, letting you bail out on some of that tedious typing a little quicker. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">If you fancy an even more serious bit of fiddling,
the same ICS developer area contains the option to "limit background
process" demands by the OS. You can use this to stop your phone or tablet
storing so many apps in memory. Whether this has any effect of the actual
battery life of us users is up for debate, but again, it's something to play
with and see if it suits your phone use patterns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in Android 4.0 - the Notifications pane can be accessed from the lock screen.
Press power, touch the Notifications area, then scroll down to read your latest

Guide to Using Adobe Air on Android

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When writing an app with performance in mind, you most likely want to write it native code using the Android NDK, rather than some sort of interpreted language. However, sometimes you may be more familiar with a particular interpreted language or you may simply not need the performance benefits of native code. In these cases, many people begin with Java, but some feel a bit more facile with Adobe Flash.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is where XDA Senior Member neumedia comes in. He has crafted a quick guide aimed at helping flash developers who are just getting started with using Adobe Air on Android. Spanning across three posts, the currently covered topics are comprised of various issues you’ll likely face when using Air on Android:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do you intercept device sleep and wake events on adobe air</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How to handle back button key press</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How to enable your Adobe Air app to be transferrable to the external SDcard</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neumedia suggests that users first visit Adobe’s online guide for using Air on Androidas a primer. Once you have done this, visit the guide threadfor solutions to the issues above. It’s worth mentioning again, however, that if ultimate performance is key, you’re better off just writing native code. However, using Air may be valuable for those writing apps that don’t need quite as much performance and if you are more familiar with another language.</span></div>

Using 'Multi-window' on the Samsung Galaxy S4

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Samsung's full-screen multi-tasking feature returns on the Galaxy S4. Here's where to find it and how to use.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A favorite feature of the Galaxy Note 2, Samsung's 'Multi-window' multitasking capability is included out of the box on the Galaxy S4. It's probably one of the coolest software tricks Samsung has come up with to date, but it's easily overlooked if you don't know it's there.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To use Multi-window, you'll first need to enable it in the quick settings area. Drag the notification bar down, hit the block icon in the top right corner and make sure "Multi-window" is lit up. From there, you can toggle the Multi-window bar on or off by long-pressing the back key. It's possible to move the bar around by long-pressing the rounded tab while it's open. (To move the tab up or down, simply long-press and drag up or down when the bar doesn't have focus.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not all apps are compatible with Multi-window, but you've got a decent selection of Samsung and Google apps to choose from. It's also possible to remove apps you don't use from the Multi-window bar by hitting "edit" and dragging their icons into the blank space.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the Multi-window bar is easy enough -- to load an app in full-screen move, tap it, To load it in the top or bottom portion of the screen, long-press and drag it into place. With two apps sharing the screen, you can change the way things are divided by dragging the dividing line. Around that line you'll also see three buttons -- one for swapping apps, another to make the current app full-screen, and another to close it. Flip into landscape mode and the apps themselves will rotate, but the dividing line will remain in place.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It might not work with every app, but Multi-window is still one of our favorite TouchWiz features, and if you're a big multi-tasker -- or just someone who wants to watch YouTube and browse the web simultaneously -- it could be really useful.</span></div>

Link2sd is an app that using a partition on the sd card to link all your apps to it, in other words it is convincing the phone that it has a larger memory so you can install hundreds of apps.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222225; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
when you are linking your app files by “creating link” it won’t take any space from the device memory so you can by creating a second partition install apps as much as you want without concerning about memory.</div>

1. Do not ever wipe dalvick cache by cwm or any recovery</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222225; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Even a developer thread told you to wipe, don’t even think to wipe dalvick cache through recovery</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222225; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222225; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
