Seven tips and tricks for your Nexus 7! Even if you’re a long-time Android user, you most likely stumble over some long “hidden” features that you didn’t know existed from time to time. Just having a look into the settings or playing around with your device will present some kind of new thing that you didn’t know was there before. I continually finding myself browsing through various aspects of my Nexus 7, particularly after the update to Android 4.4, just to see what has changed and what I haven’t noticed before. As such, we’ve included some pretty well known tips and well as a few other hidden gems that most users might not even know about even after using their device for some time.
Do you have apps in which you constantly receive notifications from, but you really don’t want to see them anymore? If you head to the Apps portion of settings, you can select the offending app from the list of installed apps and then just uncheck the Show Notifications option just at the top of the opened page. That’s all it takes to remove the ability for that app to continue sending you notifications.

One of the great benefits of using an open operating system like Android is the ability to customize it the way you want. You can change the default font to your favorite one, use a third party launcher and even install a new skin on your device without much trouble. Android also allows you to select the application that should complete an action for you. Indeed, if there are several applications that can, let’s say, play music files, Android will ask you which one you would rather use, be it for this time or all future files. In this post, we will show you how to select these applications and how to undo this selection to reset your default apps.
Like Us On Facebook Picking Your Default Apps If you have more than just one application on your device that supports a specific file type, you will be prompted to select which one you would like to use to open your file. This choice can be set to be permanent, in which case your device won’t ask you about it anymore, or a one-time selection. The latter simply means you’ll be asked the same question next time you open the same file type.
When several apps can open a file, Android will ask you which one you’d like to use
Let’s take a concrete example: On my Galaxy Note II, Google’s Play Music, Samsung’s Touchwiz Music and ES Music Player can play music files. When I open an audio file, my phone lets me select which application I would rather use to play the file. I have personally chosen not to set a default application, because I manually open the music player when I want to listen to my music, and not the file directly. Nevertheless, I particularly dislike Samsung’s default Gallery application, which I have replaced with QuickPic. In order to do so, I had to set QuickPic as my default application for photos. Thankfully, the process is particularly easy, as you simply have to select Always after you select the app to open your file, and your device will remember your choice and won’t ask you again. Similarly, I’ve selected Google Chrome to be my default browser instead of Samsung’s and I also had to tell Android to open all web pages with Chrome. For browsers, you may be prompted several times, as Android will recognize protocols — https:// etc — in addition to file types, which is why you may have to confirm your selection more than just once.
Resetting Your Selection
What happens if you try a new app and end up liking it more than your current browser? You would need to reset the default application before setting the new one as your default browser. The process is fairly simple, but somehow different from the approach you may be used to on your computer. Indeed, while most people are used to having a specific file type being associated to an application, Android associates an application with a file type. In simpler terms, this means that if you want to reset your default browser, you would need to reset the application settings for your current browser. Here’s how to do it:
Go to your Android Settings
Select Applications
Select the application that is currently set to open a file type — for example, Google Chrome
Scroll down to Launch by default and tap Clear defaults
You’re all set. Next time you open a web page or an HTML file, you’ll be asked to select your preferred browser.
Be careful, if your app is associated with several file types, they will all be reset. This holds particularly true for media players, as they can play audio and video files.
You can reset the Launch by default settings in the Application Manager
Wrapping Up
Thanks to Android, it’s easy to use several apps and select which one to use when opening a file. This allows for more flexibility, as some applications are more complete but take longer to load. Of course, if you’d like to stick to a single application, you can easily set your device to open a specific file type using that app. In both cases, you can truly customize your system and environment according to your preference and needs.

Android tips and tricks: Android phones arguably superior in terms of quality, for example, the display interfaces, the number of applications that are useful and entertaining. But what about the battery resistance.
Because often download the application or activate the wireless network, it could be broken because the energy capacity of batteries drained.
There are a few Android tips you can do to make your android phone battery life can be more durable:
Manage wireless networks or wireless wisely. We recommend that you do not activate the entire connectivity available on mobile phones simultaneously, for example by turning on Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
Reduce screen brightness level. Mobile phone screen is bright indeed make a clearer. But beyond that, the higher the level of screen brightness, the greater the power output your cell phone battery.
Use one feature alone to tell if there are new messages. If there is email, instant messages, short messages (SMS), or call into the Android phone, it does not need the phone rang too loudly and vibrate. Just use one of the two earlier features, sound or vibrate so that the battery is more efficient.
Enabling an important email only. If you have five email accounts and everything is active, you should choose which email is the most frequently used and will be activated throughout the day. The reason, more and more applications, such as email, live streaming, radio, or an active social media at the same time, the greater the battery power is needed.
Always keep a spare battery. When the battery charge, you are advised not to pull out if its capacity has not reached half. Because, if the battery has not reached 50 percent occupied and has been used again, the stored energy will be easily drained because its still small.

Sometimes it turns out that your device for some reason cant find the most recent OTA (Over The Air) update. However, there is a solution to apply OTA update manually, without being forced to wait for the update being downloaded and installed by your device.
Facts you need to know before continuing:
This method has nothing to do with the "adb sideload" feature available on Android devices since Jelly Bean. It should work on every Android HTC device.
Read about different software versions for the HTC devices here. Keep in mind that the OTA update must match the software version on your device. Each original OTA update.zip package has 2 different software versions in its name - the version of the software that must be currently installed on your device and the version of the software that your device will run after the update. For example:
As you can see, 2.24.401.8 is the software version you must currently have installed to be able to run the OTA and 3.62.401.1 is the version of the software expected after the update. You cant flash an OTA update on a different software version to that expected by the OTA update for two main reasons:
Formal reason - the OTA update.zip package checks if your system is running the expected software version before it starts to install the update:
This must match the following build fingerprint from the build.prop. If the versions dont match, the installation of the OTA package will be cancelled.
Technical reason - OTA update.zip packages usually contain patches for the target files. This way OTA update doesnt have to be 1GB size, even if it is supposed to update the whole OS to the newer version. Patch files have an *.apk.p extension (f.g. Camera.apk.p) and each patch file must match the target file (f.g. Camera.apk). To make it possible, OTA update.zip package checks the MD5 checksum of each file on the system partition on your device:
And finally, if the MD5 is correct it applies the patch. All these commands are stored in META-INFcomgoogleandroidupdater-script of each OTA update.zip package. If the MD5 is incorrect, or at least one file is missing, the installation of the OTA package will be cancelled.
Now you are ready to manually apply the OTA update on your device. The method youll use is based on Android stock recovery.
Make sure you have the stock (original) recovery flashed on your device
Make sure youre running a completely unmodified operating system. Additional files like Superuser.apk or su binary are allowed, you just cant have any system files changed or removed (due to the MD5 check)
Make sure you have a reasonable amount of battery charge remaining
Make sure the OTA update youre about to install matches the software version on your device
Copy the OTA update.zip package to your device (internal storage preferred)
Turn OFF the device (make sure fastboot mode is disabled in settings)
Hold your volume down and power keys until the bootloader starts up
Using the volume keys, navigate down to RECOVERY and press power
You are now in stock recovery mode. You should see nothing more than a (sometimes spinning) Android with the red exclamation mark above it (an empty black screen is also possible). Wait for a few seconds
First hold volume up, then (with volume up held down) press power button to enter the main recovery menu. This keys combination may vary from device to device. Try different keys combination if the above one doesnt work (might be all three keys all together too)
Navigate down to "apply from phone storage" text and press power to confirm
Navigate to the location where you copied the OTA update.zip package and press power to confirm
Wait (sometimes you might need to follow further instructions on the screen) until the update process is finished
Once system is booted you should see a confirmation about the successfully flashed update.

Think watching television from home is the perfect alone time? Think again. Verizon has filed patents for a TV set-top box equipped with cameras, motion sensors and microphones that would track the movements within a given room –- similar to that of Xboxs Kinect system.
According to the companys patent application, the set-top box is a “media content presentation system” that would select advertisements based on "ambient action" in the room. This may mean seeing more commercials for singles getaways when youre snuggling with a loved one.
Systems like this arent new. In 2008, Comcast proposed a similar patent that would monitor what was happening in a room, and highlight specific ads. Google has also proposed plans for a similar technology.

Don’t want to sync your iPhone or Android snapshots with iCloud or the Google+ social network? Here’s an easy alternative. Dropbox is a handy, simple-to-use file-syncing service (click here to download and install the free Dropbox desktop utility) that boasts apps for both iPhone and Android.
You can set the Dropbox app (click here for the iPhone app, or here for the Android version) to automatically sync all your mobile photos with your Dropbox, or you can pick and choose which snapshots to upload. Best of all, Dropbox is only as social as you want it to be. Sure, you can easily share your Dropbox photo albums with anyone, including non-Dropbox users; by default, though, your pictures are stored privately in your Dropbox account. Ready to start syncing? Here we go…
Just select the Dropbox folder you’d like to sync your photo to, then tap the Upload button.
For Android:
First, install the Dropbox app onto your phone, then sign in to your Dropbox account in the Settings menu (tap Settings, then tap “Add account” under the Accounts heading*). If you get the option to turn on a feature called “Camera Upload” while you’re installing Dropbox, just tap “Cancel” for now—don’t worry, we’ll get back to it.
Now, let’s try syncing just a single photo to Dropbox. Go ahead and snap a photo, then open the picture in the Gallery app.
Tap the screen to reveal the menu buttons, then tap the blue Dropbox button; when you do, a Dropbox upload window will appear.
Pick a folder in your Dropbox account where you’d like to upload your photo, then tap the green Upload button. In a few seconds, the picture will sync to your Dropbox—and if you’ve installed the Dropbox utility onto your Mac or PC, you’ll see your snapshot sitting in the Dropbox folder on your desktop.
Want to sync every single photo you take on your Android phone, from now on? Launch the Dropbox app on your handset, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the screen, tap settings, then tap Turn on Camera Upload. You’ll get the option to automatically upload photos only when you’re on a Wi-Fi network (a good idea, lest you rack up pricey mobile data charges), and you can also check a box to sync all your existing pictures (a potentially lengthy process, so be warned).
*These settings may vary depending on the make and model of your Android phone.
Tap the “+” button in the top-right corner of the Dropbox app to upload photos from your iPhone.
For iPhone:
Install the Dropbox app, then sign in with your Dropbox username and password. As with the Android version of Dropbox, you’ll see a “splash” screen asking if you want to turn on the Camera Upload feature; for now, tap “Cancel.”
All set? Then let’s start by uploading a single photo. Take a picture with the iPhone’s Camera app, then go back to Dropbox.
Tap the folder where you’d like to sync your images (such as the pre-existing Photos folder), tap the “+” sign in the top-right corner of the screen, then tap the Upload Here button. Your picture should sync with Dropbox within a minute or so—and once it does, you’ll see it sitting in your Dropbox folder on your Dropbox-connected PC or Mac.
You can also sync all your iPhone photos with Dropbox by turning on the Camera Upload feature. Tap the Settings gear in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then tap Camera Upload, and flip the switch to “On.”
A secondary screen will ask whether you want your photos uploaded automatically only on Wi-Fi networks or using your iPhone’s cellular data connection; again, I suggest picking “Only Wi-Fi” to avoid excessive data charges. Once you’ve made your choice, tap the “Enable” button.
Now, here’s the downside to Dropbox’s Camera Upload on the iPhone versus the Android version; once you turn it on, it will (annoyingly) start uploading all the photos in your camera roll, whether you like it or not. If you don’t want to wait several minutes or even hours for all your old snapshots to sync, you’ll have to go back to the Settings menu and flip the Camera Upload switch back to “off.”
Bonus tip
Want to automatically share your Dropbox photos with a small (or not-so-small) circles of friends and loved ones?
Click the link icon to share a Dropbox file or folder with anyone you like.
Easy:
You can send a web link to a photo or folder to anyone you like, even someone who isn’t a Dropbox user. Go to the Dropbox site on the web, move your mouse over the file or folder you want to share, click the link icon that appears on the right, copy the URL from your address bar, then share that link with friends and/or family.
You can also create a shared Dropbox folder with fellow Dropbox users. From the main Dropbox web page, click Sharing in the left column, then click the “New shared folder” button.
