2. USB storage mode
When connecting USB Android device, not common as most of the devices (flash drive, external hard drives, etc ...) that is connected and ready. In these devices, there is also an option to select Copy file.
This, once connected to USB, click on the top bar and slid down. Tap Options and Enable USB connected
with it and we will see a new removable drive, which is the SD card contents of the device. Do not forget to disable this option when finished copying files.
3. PUK unlock and create new PIN What
we do if incorrectly entered 3 times wrong PIN? Simple. Only need to enter your PUK (obtained with our mobile card) as follows:
** 05 * PUK * PIN * PIN #
Where, obviously, is the PUK PUK and PIN is the PIN code you have to type it twice to confirm.
4. Accents or special characters
Another thing that often confuse new users much, you do not find a way to emphasize words, except the spelling suggestions.
We position ourselves in an area to write and when we bring up the virtual keyboard, keep pressing the letter you want stress (for example, in the image, a) for a moment. We will see a pop-up box with additional options.
So it does to other characters. If you want to force us to display the virtual keyboard, keep pressing the menu key briefly.

6. Battery Save
As you've heard, one of the most common problems in next-generation devices is the battery consumption. The multitude of options, features and need to be light cause the battery does not last too.
One of the first strategies is (as seems logical) activate only the features you are using. To do so, Android brings a very interesting widget. Press Menu / Add / Widgets / Power Control:
We allow just a few clicks, enable or disable various features. In addition, the brightness has 3 states (off, 50%, 100%).
Other details that help save battery power might be:
1. Remove the sound / vibration to dial in virtual keyboard.
2. Set to the lowest possible brightness.
3. Mobile networks, using only 2G networks.
4. Set the minimum possible time in lock screen.
5. Close processes that do not use (see section 8).
In Settings / About phone / battery usage can see some statistics on what is consuming more battery power.
Another little trick is to dial the next number, with which you can see a history of battery usage, statistics and other data for more in-depth phone:
* # * # 4636 # * # *
7. Battery Saver (Apps)
There are many applications to save power. Here are some of them.
Locale Locale ($ 9.99) is an application that allows you to manage settings via conditions. For example, we choose a radius on Google Maps, and when the phone detects that we are in the area, apply the specified settings (eg disable wifi, bluetooth, and brightness). Very interesting
to adjust our own profiles. Has a system of plugins to extend functionality.
Bright Day Bright Day (free) is an application that automatically adjusts the brightness of your phone, depending on time of day.
This will save more battery power and will never have to go adjusting brightness properties.
Y5 - Y5

not to waste battery without giving the active wireless use.
8. Monitor OS Android OS
Monitor is a very useful application that will identify the processes (task manager), the listener interfaces, established connections (netstat), battery information storage and display of internal logs.
The application is very customizable (you can sort tasks by memory consumption, CPU or number of open threads). With a long press on the process, you can finish it, change it or look at the related entries in the internal log.
9. Barcode Scanner
Although the installation using the Google Market is very simple and easy, we have at our disposal Barcode Scanner, an application to use the camera to capture a QR barcode.
With this capture, the system itself is responsible for finding the application, download and install it, the style American films.
also serves to capture traditional codes, find information about products online, prices, etc ...
10. Recent applications
If we hold the home key (home, or house) will appear a menu similar to Windows ALT + TAB to switch between tasks.
However, this is not just the currently running applications, but the most recently used. We may switch between them easily and quickly.
11.
off and FastBoot
As in most terminals, the shutdown is as easy as pressing the end key (Red) with a long press. It will bring up a menu that allows you to choose whether to put my cell phone, airplane mode (without connections) or off the terminal.
To switch on, make a quick press too. If we go into a special recovery menu you can press the volume down key + hanging. Careful not to use this menu lightly.
12. Reset
Android may on occasion, our Android is locked and not responding to your keystrokes. If this occurs, has a reset mode (hard reset) that can be activated by pressing call (green) + Menu + hang
(red).
13. Blocking calls or SMS
An interesting advantage of Android is the high power usage that the user has. aFirewall (free) is an application which works by blocking calls or SMS.
If for example, a number he is calling or annoying, as well as sending SMS messages that we receive, this application lets you lock, mute, display the number as busy, etc.
14. Service Mode (Test)
Android allows a choice of testing (FieldTest) in service mode where you can check the function of various parameters of connectivity:
* # * # 7262626 # * # *
Also, if you want to check the status of Google Talk you can do with this issue:
* # * # 8255 # * # *
15. Custom dictionary
A very unknown and comfortable option is the ability to add words or names to the internal dictionary of Android. This will show you words you type suggestions often correct or prevent you misspell a word you type a lot.
We are going to Settings / Language and country and then we add them. On the other hand, if we do not like, also allows us to turn off the auto (pressing space) or suggestions writing.
There are many useful and interesting applications, this guide was intended to mention those key issues and "base" to use the terminal. Do you know more tips that you consider essential?
