From the collaboration of Google and a new Samsung flagship Android-emerged. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is to recommend not only because of the high-quality equipment, but also thanks to its elegant design. The smartphone offers an extra large touch screen and brings thanks to the HD with super AMOLD display technology and a brilliant picture quality. Although there are many different models of mobile phone operating system Android , many of them have the same characteristics. Some tips and tricks common to them all. I hope you like:

Add a ringing tone for calls:

We had already talked about adding a ringtone for sms notifications and we'll see how to make ring tones. As always, Android, it is very easy. Just connect the phone via USB and create the directory tree media / audio / ringtones to the root of the phone (if not already). Placed just want the mp3 file in that folder. It remains only to change the ringtone: go to Settings> Sound> Ringtone and select the phone ringing freshly added. Note that to disable USB storage memory to be able to select custom ringtones.


Add picture in the SMS application:

In applying SMS / MMS default Android, sent messages appear in the son as sent by me with the opportunity to display your avatar or your photo. First let's see how the SMS / MMS application chooses which image display. It uses the parameter My Android phone number visible in Settings> About phone> state. Then it searches your contacts have a contact that phone number and use his photo.

We must begin by creating a contact: put your full name, your phone number, your email addresses ... and a photo. You can do this since Gmail saw that it synchronizes itself. Another advantage to create a contact for yourself is that you can share it by email, SMS, Bluetooth or NFC to easily give your details to anyone else.

Point annoying to many, in my phone number, there is marked Unknown, or there is a back issue, making it difficult to find your contact so your photo. This parameter is actually in the SIM card. It is not at all helpful to make or receive calls, there are only for cosmetic reasons. If there is not your number, we must add it. But the ROM by default does not change this setting. If you have a custom ROM (Cyanogen or otherwise), you can edit it directly.

Add a ringing tone for alarms:

We had already talked about adding a ringtone and sms notifications and a ringer for calls , we'll see how to make ringtones for the alarm (the alarm). Just connect the phone via USB and create the directory tree media / audio / alarms to the root of the phone (if not already). Placed just want the mp3 file in that folder. It will appear in the list of ringing alarm clock via its title. It remains only to change the ringtone for your alarm to go to Application Panel> Clock> Alarm tone and select the newly added to the alarm of your choice. Those who have put the clock widget on their desktop can directly access it via alarms.

Long press:

If instead of pressing a key, or a word or an icon on the screen, keep pressing your finger for a couple of seconds, most of the time you open a menu with options specific to that item. For example:
If you hold the start button, a menu with the eight most recent applications. This allows you, for example, quickly go for example from an email you are writing your web browser.

Within the implementation of the browser, if you hold down the backspace key - the one labeled with an arrow U-turned to the left - will open a screen with your favorite bookmarks, most visited pages and browsing history.
If you do a long press on the bottom of the screen, a menu of options, including shortcuts. You can create a shortcut to a bookmarked Web page, a person on your list of contacts, or a navigation destination. Android display the shortcut label with the logo of the website, the face of the person or the icon choice for destinations.

Too many icons on the screen? No problem. With a long press on the screen displays a menu that includes a choice of folders. You can create a folder icon, to name that folder and drag all the applications you want.
Long press a link on a Web page displays a menu that allow to open the link in a new window. To change the window, press the Menu key - which is a grid of four squares - and a touch of Windows in the options screen.

Customize your home screen:

First, the customization of wallpaper for your Android phone. From the menu, simply select Wallpaper. Follow the prompts to select images from photos taken by your phone, the downloaded images, or the default wallpaper. Some devices are proposing to add an image map in motion. But this is only the beginning of a whole series of possibilities. Programmers have created dozens of widgets that can be integrated on your home screen.

TouchWiz homescreen supports up to seven, and switch between them can quickly become a problem. However, pinching the home, it opens a screen that shows pictures of all the screens available, as happens on phones of HTC. By clicking, you can open it on the screen. Keeping a hold, however, it becomes a scroll bar that allows quick switching from one screen to another.

Other tricks for Samsung Galaxy Nexus regarding the homescreen is the adjustment of the brightness of the screen, for which the touch and move your finger left or right on the notification bar at the top, or the addition of wallpaper and widget for which a long press on an empty part of the screen.

Contacts:

This trick for Samsung Galaxy Nexus will allow you to send calls or messages so much quicker. Once you have before you the name of the contact you want to call, instead of selecting it and then send the transaction, you can simply scroll left and start the call. If you scroll to the right, however, you can send a message. With regard to the right side, which lists all the letters of the alphabet, just click to jump directly to the corresponding contact.

Thus, the function can be used, in the Chrome extension Chrome to Phone to be installed. Must also brings the Chrome browser, which is used on the Android phone with Google account. After installing the extension, the browser has a phone button. This is operated as a link to a number or a selected text to be sent directly to an Android smartphone.

If such a link sent to an Android smartphone, it automatically opens the browser with the appropriate URL. A link from Google Maps calls up the Android application. Also a YouTube link opens the corresponding application on the mobile phone. If a selected number brought over this way on an Android-powered smartphone, this is automatically transferred to the phone application, the user must then press the Select button just yet. Selected text can also be sent via this route to the mobile phone, this ends up on the clipboard on the phone.

NFC is a technology for quite some time on the market and in recent years have experienced a revival. In many cities around the world, the tickets of public transport are equipped with NFC technology. The entire card industry is slowly on the card is a magnetic strip on cards with NFC technology. This has the advantage needed the NFC cards, unlike the magnetic stripe cards have no physical contact with the reader. NFC technology is especially so in this case much more robust. Moreover, the form in which the NFC chip installed is no longer given. You have the card so no longer plugged into a reader, but keeps its NFC chip only in the vicinity of the reader.

NFC chips can be installed so in much smaller cards, for example, in a key fob or a mobile phone. The NFC chip installed in a mobile phone has several advantages, it can be turned off in the NFC mobile phone, are protected by a password or if the phone is lost, be disabled from a distance. In the payment and credit card business, there are a lot of money to earn. So it's no wonder why so many market participants looking to move into the NFC payment market.

Actually, the use of NFC payment and ticketing in the business is just a replacement of the technology in an already existing market. It is through the use of NFC not to distribute more money. It will also ensure that market-established credit card companies and banks that cake. What the NFC technology, however, much more interesting is their use in new application areas: For example in the use of direct cash transfers in the form of electronic money Bitcoin between the two phones.

Another interesting potential is the location-based gaming. It is conceivable, for example, with NFC technology and smart phones to make an interactive scavenger hunt. Rovio, the developer of the highly popular mobile game studio "Angry Birds" has already released a version of their game in which players interact with other players via NFC technology to make some progress in the game can be.
