10 Hidden Tricks On Your Android Device


#3 The New Speed Dial

Android lets you create icons for your most-dialed contacts and place them on your home screen for easy access. To do this, press and hold an empty space on your home screen until a menu pops up. Go to Shortcuts > Contact, and scroll through your contacts until you find the person you want to add.

#2 Files On The Go

You can use your Android device as portable hard drive. Activate Android's storage mode by plugging the phone into a computer with a USB cable. This lets you swap files between your phone and computer and take files with you as you go.

#1 To create an offline map

To create an offline map, enter Google Maps for Android and display your desired map on the screen. You will find a button that says "Make this map area available offline" to simplify the process. The estimated size of the area in your map will appear on the screen. If it is too large, you will be asked to choose a smaller area. You can store up to six maps on your device.
