One of my Droid friends recently asked me what iPhone app my kids enjoyed playing the most. He said that he could get the game for his Android device as well; however, it turned out to be a fake, bogus application instead. We decided to search on the Android Market and found several fraudulent applications that were titled the same some popular iPhone apps.
If you are tired of viewing the simple mobile version of websites and yearn for the iPhone or desktop version, you’re in luck. By simply changing the user agent string for the web browser, you can view the sites the way that you like them.
If you hate using the touch screen to end calls, Froyo (Android 2.2) allows you to use the Power Button (the button on the top of the phone for powering on/off the phone and locking the screen) to end a call. It’s nice to have a physical button to hang up when you’re done.
Froyo (Android 2.2) keeps the unlock pattern that we’re all familiar with for securing the unlock screen, but adds PIN and Password options as well. That means you don’t have to rely on remembering some pattern to unlock your screen.
You can use your Android phone as a portable hotspot and get your iPad, iPod Touch, Zune HD, or any other wireless device online. This is a great save when there are no available wireless connections available.
By default, the volume for your notifications is dependent on the set volume for incoming calls. If you need your notifications to be at a softer (or louder) volume than that, you can set it to be independent of the incoming call volume.
If you want to remove an entry in the call log to keep others from finding out that you called a certain someone or made reservations at a certain place, you can delete the entry without affecting the rest of the log.
The Wi-Fi Sleep Policy is for setting when the device will switch from Wi-Fi to the mobile data connection. By default, it is set to switch when the screen turns off. You can modify this setting to keep the wireless connection switched on while the device is plugged in, or even select to never switch to the mobile data connection.
There is a very limited amount of internal memory to install Android applications on, so you should be aware of how much space is available. You should also keep an eye on your SD card memory so that you don’t run out of space for your videos and music.
Instead of having to type out your emoticons, you can use the Messaging keyboard to access these symbols directly for easy insertion.
If you have wiped all the data from your device or accidentally uninstalled an application that you wanted to keep, redownloading your purchased applications is a painless process. You won’t have to repurchase the app.
It seems that there are a great deal of updates frequently put out for various Android applications. if you are tired of dealing with the notification appearing in your status bar, you can disable it and deal with the software updates when you feel like it.
