How to Re-arrange Icons When you
install new apps to your Android, the
system stacks up
the icons automatically without asking
you to select a home screen. But you can subsequently re-arrange
the icons on the home screens and on
the tray.
1. Touch and hold any icon on your
screen for
a second.
2. Drag the icon to a different spot on
the screen, or even to or from the tray,
except
for the permanent "All Apps" icon.
3. You can also drag an icon to the left
or right
edge of the screen until it starts
sliding, then drop the icon to
another screen.
How to Create, Rename and
Remove Folders Other than the apps
on the tray, sometimes it's difficult to quickly look for an app
to open if you have many icons
spreading across a
few home screens. Why not create a folder to group
similar apps together? It's much easier
than you might think.
1. Touch and hold any icon for a
second.
2. Drag the icon over
the top of another.
The system then automatically groups
two app icons in a folder.
3. Touch the folder, then tap
"Unnamed Folder", key in a name for
the folder and tap "Done".
You can rename a folder at any time
tap a folder then tap its
name to rename. While the system auto
creates a folder for you, it does the
same to removing a folder
automatically tap a folder to expand it,
then clear all group ed
items inside the folder just touch and hold, then drag them out
from the folder one by one.
Note: Older Android system doesn't
support this feature, but you can rely
on a
third-party app such as
GO Launcher EX to achieve almost the
same effect.
How to Type Faster with Multiple Spaces
Instead of typing a period at the end
of each sentence and
follow by a space, you can tap the
space bar twice to get the same
result.
How to Type Special Character s

the on-screen Alphabet
and Number key boards just to type a
comma in a sentence, then

How to Cut, Copy and Paste
This looks simple but can be tricky sometimes when you use different
apps. In general, these steps can be
used in Email or
some other apps:
1. Double-tap or touch- and-hold to
select a word.
2.Drag the handles to adjust the area if
needed, then tap Cut or Copy.
3. Tap an insert point, and drag the
handle to
adjust it if needed.
4. Select Paste
( Hint: tab the handle when the 'Paste'
button doesn't appear).
NOTE: When working in a web
browser such
as Android's Browser, use touch-and-
hold to select a word since
"double-tap" has been used to
enlarge or reduce a webpage.
NOTE: To know the exact key/button
am talking about in this post just copy
the key symbol above and go to your
message and paste it and the
symbol will appear e.g #\< ...
