Android is making waves in a big way, so for all of you Android folks, here’s a roundup of Tips & Tricks to make the most of your shiny smartphone.
- Techcredo Tips & Tricks. Fab list of tips for Android, some basic some not so (e.g. how to clear the custom dictionary). Bookmark it.
- MaximumPC Tips & Tricks One point I disagree with is the suggestion to root your phone so you can use different operating system versions etc. I rooted a Pulse recently in order to install Android 2.1, and although it worked, it now crashes a fair bit, which is a bit tedious. Rooting and customisation of your handset will become a lot of fun down the line, but right now it’s still very much for geeky risk takers only.
- PCWorld 40 Android Tips
- Android Forums Tips – some useful stuff for beginners.
- Softpedia Tips & Tricks Part 1 – Part II – Part III – Part IV
- 35 Google Nexus One Tips. The phone may be defunct, but the hints are generic and still useful.
- Network World 40 Tips & Tricks.
Android Forums:
- Android Community. One of the oldest and best.
- Android Forums. 70,000 members. Busy and useful.
- Modaco Android. Smaller, but a nice resource nevertheless.
- Android Central. Not a huge fan of the layout, but worth a look.
