Android Tips and Tricks

If you're like most Android users, you're probably only using 10%-20% of what your smartphone or tablet can do for you. Maybe you don't need every feature… but you could be a lot more productive, and you could have a lot more fun than you're having now. In Android Tips and Tricks, top technology author Guy Hart-Davis offers easy, hands-on, step-by-step directions for everything you'd want to do if you only knew how. Hart-Davis covers all the common "pain points" that go with running Android: syncing, storage, customization, Wi-Fi, staying within your data plan, improving battery life, taking better photos, and using your device for media and social networking. You'll find up-to-the-minute tips and tricks focused on the latest Android versions, including 4.4 (KitKat) and 4.3 (Jelly Bean), plus bonus help for interfaces from today's top two Android manufacturers, Samsung (TouchWiz) and HTC (Sense). From privacy to Play Store, remote find to mobile hotspots, these tips and tricks are so helpful you'll wonder: how did I ever use my Android without them?
