Android Phone Tricks to Remember

An Android phone is a handy tool, but it can easily become a time sink. Here is an assortment of handy time-saving tricks to keep in mind to boost your productivity with (or your hopeless addiction to) your Android phone.



  • Dictation! You can speak into the phone as an effective and quick alternative to using the onscreen keyboard.



  • Press and hold a key on the onscreen keyboard to confirm that your stubby fingers have selected the right character.



  • Spread your fingers to zoom into a web page, where it's much easier to click on links.



  • If your phone features a pointing device (trackball or arrows on a physical keyboard), you can use it to hop between links on a web page.



  • Quickly put the phone into vibration mode by pressing the Down Volume button until the phone jiggles.



  • When you're on the phone, press the power button to lock the phone and turn off the touchscreen.



  • When downloading updates and new apps, or for faster web browsing — and especially to avoid data overcharges — activate the phone WiFi.



  • Use the Search soft button to look for things on the phone, on the Internet, or in a specific app.
