I bumped into this site that says "7 things every new android users should know", and as an android user, to me it was very basic but helpful in many ways. Not all android tablets has this "Samsung quality" as what they expect their gadget to be when they buy it.
Honestly, i suggest that a first time tablet user should go for Apple iOS because it is user friendly. Yes, it is user friendly for starters. I believe when you switch to android, you need time to splurge using your gadget in an android system because few hours is not enough as you will enjoy your gadget the whole time.
I have here the following should know things for a beginner-intermediate android user, in case they missed this points.
1. Always clear the RAM Memory.
I know a lot of users aware of "Remove All" feature of android but it doesn't help the performance the way you want to refresh your system. And it does not mean that you already closed the running application because not most but sometimes there are applications that does not response the command of android system. Clearing your gadget's memory is like using CCleaner. For non Samsung android devices, check your task manager and clear your memory. Depending on brand, sometimes you need to hold press/tap home screen button to view open applications even if you are not using them.
2. You can customize your Application screen.
I am not talking about the Home screen. Application screen is where all your applications located. If you want to hide an application that irate you or at least just want to organize, you can do so. Also, use folder to keep your apps, home and application screen scream. But i believe this function is not applicable and available to all non Samsung devices.
3. Don't use AUTO BRIGHTNESS.
Technically you are not saving your battery using Auto Brightness because for some point, when you are indoor, you don't much brightness. When you are outdoor, if you try to use auto brightness, even if you maxed the level of brightness your screen is still dim. This works on all android devices.
4. Hotspot and MODEM.
For tutorial of how to use Hotspot and multiple sharing advantage of your internet, read this tutorial. As for modem, since we don't have perfect ISPs, some are still wondering how will get they to use their local mobile internet without sharing via hotspot. Simply plug in your data cable to your laptop or desktop and click your wifi notification, and select your ISP or it will be automatically detected.
5. How to remove Riffle Effect on Samsung devices.
Riffle effect is the animation effect when you open your lock screen or swipe effect from lock screen.
6. Battery saving application works in android. This is the priority of every person when buying a gadget. Mark my word, it works in android and you will say sorry to your friends using Apple iOS because, let us be honest, their battery does not last even almost 20 hours, not even closer to 16 hours. Let me boast my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, standby time is 2 days. Extensive net browsing and documentation and all works 24 hours. And for maximum gaming, net browsing and watching movies works 10-12 hours in my tab. Isn't that sound nice?
You can do it too in your android device, read my battery tutorial for more.
You maybe not using Samsung or high end android gadgets, or low cost device but this things should be on top of your list to enjoy your hard earn device.
