Introduction

The operating system Android (Android) today is hardly inferior in prevalence to Windows. It is used in over 90% of smartphones and tablets. A distinctive feature of its user (graphical) interface is that it is designed to be used without a keyboard and mouse - just with a screen that reacts to finger touches (touchscreen).

In general, Android controls are not difficult.

In some details, this instruction may not coincide with the Android interface on a specific device. The fact is that some device manufacturers change the standard Android interface. Samsung makes especially big changes.

Nevertheless, the general principles of the organization of the interface are preserved.

Screen Unlock & Android Desktop

The first thing you will see after turning on your device is the unlock screen:

You need to touch the image of the lock with your finger and, without releasing your finger, drag it to the right, to the border of the circle and release there:

Note. On some devices, instead of the image of the lock, there may be another. But the principle remains the same - you need to slide your finger across the screen.

After unlocking the screen, the desktop will open on which all the controls are concentrated:

At the very bottom of the screen there is a status bar and a system tray - they are black. The main control buttons are located in the status line, from left to right:

  • Back button. Returns to the previous window of the active program. If the program has one window, this button closes the program.
  • Home button. Return to desktop. Minimizes the active program and opens the desktop.
  • Swap button. Opens a preview of all running programs. This allows you to conveniently switch between running programs.
  • Window button. Menu of the active program. Opens a menu with commands for the program that is currently active.
  • Adjusts the speaker volume.
  • Take a screenshot of the screen.

Note. On some devices, the volume and screenshot buttons may not appear in the status bar.

The system tray is located at the right end of the status line. It displays program messages, program icons. If you touch the tray, a menu with quick settings will open:

Note. Not on all devices, when you touch the tray, the quick settings menu opens. Some manufacturers may not have such a menu. Or it can be opened differently, for example, by sliding your finger from the top of the screen.

Just above the status line is a launcher with shortcuts to selected programs.

Touchscreen Android

All control of programs and Android itself is carried out through touching the screen. Android divides touches (also called gestures) by their nature:

  • Quick touch (touch and immediately remove your finger) - similar to a computer double-clicking a mouse or pressing enter. Performs a default operation, such as starting a program or opening a file.
  • A "long" touch (touch and hold your finger) - similar to a computer right-click - offers additional operations. Or selects text, file, element.
  • "Scaling" - touching with two fingers at the same time and then moving them towards each other or vice versa. Increases or decreases the font in the document or the size of the picture.
  • "Scrolling" - sliding your finger across or along the screen. Displays elements that are hidden off the screen. For example, a list of files, the next picture in the gallery, the next page of a document.

Working with files in Android

Opening, copying and deleting files in Android is performed in the same way as in any other OS - through a special file manager program. There are many such programs for Android. The file manager that comes with Android is easy to use:

In the top panel there are buttons that show the folder you are currently in. And buttons for available operations. A quick touch on a folder opens that folder. A quick tap on a file opens that file.

If you need to select files (folders) for copying or deleting, you need to make a long touch on one file and when it is selected, select the rest:

Highlighted files can be deleted, copied, cut or sent via Bluetooth or WiFi. If you need to copy or transfer files, then after selecting and copying (cutting) them, you need to go to another folder and press the "Paste" button there.

If you need to select all files in a folder, this is done as follows:

First, select the first file (with a long tap), then touch the "Selected" button. An additional "Select All" button will open.

Programs can be launched through shortcuts in the launcher or on the desktop, as well as through the main Android menu.

If you tap on the program menu icon in the launcher, the program menu will open:

All installed programs may not fit on one screen. To scroll through the menu, you need to slide your finger from right to left.

If you make a short touch on the program shortcut, it will be launched. If you touch and hold your finger, after a while the desktop will become visible and you can move your finger to move the shortcut to the desktop.

Switching between programs in Android

If you touch the button for switching between programs -.

A screen will open in which there will be a preview of all running programs:

On this screen, you need to touch the desired program.

If the program window is quickly moved down, the program will be closed.

How to close a program in Android

The first way. Press the "Back" button - in the Android taskbar. But if it is a program with several windows, for example a browser, it is inconvenient to use this button. In addition, the program does not actually close, it becomes invisible, but it continues to remain in the RAM.

Second way. Press the "Window" button -.

If the program has a main menu, it can have an exit or close command:

Or this program menu:

Third way. Press the "Swap" button - in the Android taskbar. Then find the preview of the window and move it down:

The fourth way. Open the system settings, go to the application tab, then open the "Running" programs tab and touch the desired program:

and in the new screen press the "Stop" button

Note

Android programs don't actually close in the first three ways! That is, they continue to hang in the background and can work in the background. Eating up battery and even Internet traffic.

Moreover, even after the program is closed, in the fourth way, it can start again after some time. When an event occurs. For example, when connected to the Internet.

Therefore, periodically you need to look through the list of running programs and stop unnecessary ones.

Installing programs on Android

Internet connection on Android

On most android devices, you can connect to the Internet through cellular networks or WiFi. Both of these methods are available through the device settings - the Wireless networks section.

If you need to switch from WiFi to 3G or vice versa, you must first turn off the current Internet source and only then turn on another.

The keyboard in Android appears on the screen automatically when you touch the data entry field:

The keyboard that comes with Android is not very comfortable. On it, the number keys and special character keys have been moved to another set to which you need to switch. In addition, it does not have arrow keys to move the cursor and there are no Alt, Ctrl keys. Second set of symbols:

And the third set of symbols:

As you can see, if you need curly braces, you will have to change two sets of keys in order to get to them.

However, in Android, the keyboard is a program and this means that it can be replaced with another one. For example on Hacker "s Keyboard:

It's almost like a real keyboard. Most importantly, it has arrow keys to move the cursor. This is very convenient because moving the cursor a few characters with your finger or a graphic slider is hell. But since there are more keys on it, their size is smaller and you need to work with it more carefully.

To switch languages, on the Hacker "s Keyboard, you need to slide your finger on the spacebar.

Switching between keyboards is done in Android settings:

Selecting and copying text in Android

When actively working with texts on a computer device, sooner or later there will be a need to copy the text and transfer it to another program (document). In ordinary operating systems, this is done easily - the context menu or Ctrl + C. In Android, it is more difficult. First, on some word from the fragment that you want to copy, quickly, double-tap the screen. The word will be highlighted and two sliders will appear:

Holding the slider with your finger, you can move it and thus select as much text as you need. After that, you need to touch the selected text and do not release your finger until the menu appears:

In which you need to select "Copy". This menu may look different in different programs. For example, there may be icons instead of text.

Then go to the program (document) where you need to insert the text and in the right place touch the screen and hold your finger until a similar menu appears, but select "Insert" accordingly.

Of course, copying text in Android is inconvenient. But there is fish in the absence of fish and cancer.

Summary

Of course, a device running Android can not fully replace a full-fledged computer, nevertheless, at the very least, but common types of work can be performed on it. Up to editing simple files MS Word, Excel.

If your Android device supports USB-Host (OTG) mode then you can connect a USB mouse and keyboard to it and it will be much easier to work with text.

Nowadays, few people can imagine their life without a phone, especially since modern smartphones are not only a means of communication, but also a multifunctional device for accessing the Internet, a camera, an e-book and much more. This article will help you deal with any gadget on Android.

Turning on your smartphone

Before using a smartphone on Android, a beginner needs to turn it on. The button is usually located on the top or side of the device, depending on the device model.

At the first boot, you need to define the basic settings of the operating system. After choosing the language, you will be prompted to create a Google account to which the device will be linked, or to enter an existing profile. This can be postponed, however, it is better to do it right away, as a Google Account is required for downloading applications, syncing, using email and other functions.

It will take a few minutes to create a Google profile: you need to come up with an email name, a strong password and fill in basic information about yourself. After that, you can proceed to further setting up the smartphone.

How to call

Modern phones have an intuitive interface. After turning on and unlocking the device, you will immediately see the bottom bar of icons, where the most necessary functions are located.

For example, even if you don’t know how to use a Lenovo A328 smartphone, a beginner will still understand that to make a call, you need to touch the green icon with the handset image. In the menu that opens, you can view the last calls made, dial the number on the keyboard, and also view the contacts stored in the phone's memory and sim-card. For experienced users, these operations take a couple of seconds, while a beginner is not used to using a smartphone at first, largely due to a different keyboard. At first, it may be more convenient for you to just scroll through the list of contacts, but if there are a lot of numbers in the smartphone's memory, then it is better to resort to search.

How to write SMS messages

We figure out how to use the lg smartphone. A beginner needs to learn how to write SMS messages. To do this, just click on the envelope icon, and then on the new message symbol (usually an image of a pen and paper). The first step is to select a recipient from your contact list or enter a new number in the "To" field. Then type the message itself using the keyboard or voice input. If necessary, you can insert a smiley through the menu of additional functions. Press "send" and your message will be sent to the addressee.

How to take photos and videos

Almost all modern gadgets can take high-quality photos and shoot videos. How can a beginner use a smartphone with a built-in camera? Here are some simple tips.

Always keep the outside of the lens clean. Otherwise, pictures may appear blurry and blurry.

Try not to shake your hands. This rule applies to any cameras, but modern smartphones use a fairly slow shutter speed, so this is especially important.

Set the quality settings to maximum. Photo and video files will take up more space, but this problem can always be solved by installing an additional memory card.

Take multiple shots. All professional photographers use this technique, and you should take note of it too. Even if some shot gets blurry or fails in focus, there is a chance that others will turn out fine.

Explore the settings available on your smartphone. Various scene programs, color effects and white balance allow you to take decent pictures even in low light.

How to use the internet

Before using the Alcatel smartphone, a beginner needs to know that data transmission is enabled by default in it and other gadgets. Therefore, if your tariff plan does not provide for unlimited traffic, then it is better to disable this option through the settings (item "Wireless networks") or deactivate - the "Data" icon on the quick access panel, which is lowered by a smooth movement of your finger across the screen from top to bottom.

When you need to go online, enable this function and find the built-in browser in the menu. Optionally, you can install any browser adapted for the Android platform, as well as additional applications for social networks and instant messengers.

In addition, Android smartphones usually have a Google search bar right on the home screen and support voice prompts. Just say "Okay Google", wait for the characteristic sound signal and clearly articulate your request.

How to set up personalization

Having learned how to use a Fly smartphone, a beginner will probably want to customize the device to his liking. Modern devices support customization for many parameters. Once in the gallery, you can always set any image or photo as your desktop background. To do this, call the context menu and select "Set as - Desktop background".

The "Settings - Sound" menu allows you to adjust the volume and ringtone for calls and incoming messages, as well as the mode and intensity of vibration of the device. You can use both basic melodies and download from the Internet.

In addition, you can bring frequently used applications to the desktop for easy access. Just hold down the desired icon and drag it to the home screen. Many users like to group icons into folders according to their functionality. For example, in one folder you can collect all clients for social networks, in another - games, in a third - third-party programs for processing photos, etc.

Another popular feature for smartphones on Android is widgets, which are also placed on the desktop. The widget can display a news feed from websites or your social media accounts, display a weather forecast, track fluctuations in currency rates, stock indices, etc.

Essential apps for your smartphone

Now that you have figured out how to use a smartphone for a beginner, we will show you several applications that need to be installed on your device.

Antivirus. "Android" is the same computer, and a virus can infect it. Therefore, it is important to take care of anti-virus protection and not install applications from dubious sources.

Battery saving app. Such a program will promptly terminate unused applications, tell you exactly what the battery charge is being spent on, calculate how long the battery will last, etc.

Garbage cleaning application. With such a program, your smartphone will not slow down and freeze. It will help you clear the cache of your device, delete unnecessary residual files, and also see where your smartphone's memory is being spent.

By following these simple rules, you can easily learn how to use your smartphone. The names of the functions listed above may vary depending on the phone model, but since even the most sophisticated device has an intuitive interface, you will not have any difficulties.

Most of us feel insecure when we have to familiarize ourselves with a new operating system. And despite the fact that today Android can be found on the overwhelming number of electronic devices, there are still many users who are not familiar with it.

If you are one of these people, we will provide you with the most important information on how to understand the system, introduce you to its main functions. In general, before you is a kind of instruction called "Android for Dummies", which contains all the relevant tips for working with the platform.

Start using the Android system

Turn on the device, go to your account and establish an Internet connection

Following the instructions, we turn on our smartphone or tablet, after which the system desktop will appear in front of you, or, if the device is turned on for the first time, the initial setup wizard will start. For example, on a smartphone, the wizard suggests doing the following:

  • Select the interface language.
  • Connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi - if you don't have a network nearby, you can skip this step. Why does this menu appear the first time I turn it on? Due to the fact that most programs are designed for use with a working Internet connection. This does not mean at all that a phone or tablet is useless without the Internet, such a step was created rather for convenience - they say, connect to it immediately so that you do not worry about it later.
  • Next, the system wizard will offer to log into your Google account or create one if you have not yet acquired an account. We highly recommend that you create an account for yourself, because the Android system itself is strongly tied to the services of Google. Without it, you will not enter the application store, you will not be able to use mail. In addition, creating an account is not difficult, but it will always be with you on any device you want, which is quite convenient.
  • In the next menu, you need to confirm the time and date, which are almost always determined automatically, or enter them manually.
  • In the last window, you will see items related to determining your location - it is better not to turn them off so that all services work correctly and the smartphone correctly determines the time and date.

What is the system interface?

After setting up your smartphone or simply turning on the device, even if you have not gone through the wizard, you will see the desktop of your gadget.

What is he like? You will be presented with the following symbols and icons:

  • Time and date - you can display a separate clock or calendar, or this data will be located in the lower right corner, as is most often the case on tablets.
  • At the bottom, in most cases, there are three signs - the back button, the main menu and the context menu, where running applications are displayed.
  • The desktop usually contains the most important and most used programs. You can delete them - just press and hold your finger on the program, after a couple of seconds the icon will become movable and you can drag it to the cross.
  • There can be several desktops - they move when flipping movements on the screen, if desired, they can also be added or removed - the widget is removed in the same way as a separate program. To add another desktop, touch the screen with 2 fingers and bring them together, after which a plus sign will appear - and you should click on it.
  • You can add programs to desktops from the general menu list. Where can I find it? Press the main button on a tablet or smartphone, or on the middle button at the bottom of the screen - we have already mentioned it. When a list opens in front of you, you can select one of the items, hold your finger on the part of the screen where it is located, after which you can move it to any place on the desktop.

It is worth noting that on tablets with Android, a quick menu opens in the bottom line, where you can turn on Wi-Fi, find out about the battery charge and other important information - to open it, just make a movement from the bottom up in the watch area. On smartphones running this system, to open the notification menu, you need to swipe your finger across the entire screen from top to bottom.

We looked at what the desktop looks like, now let's move on to the main Android menu.

It is made in the form of a general list with icons and the names of programs, or in the form of several desktops with the same lists of applications - there is nothing complicated in viewing them. In the general menu, you will find all the elements of your device, there are also settings for your smartphone or tablet.

Internet use on Android

If you've already established an internet connection, it's time to learn how to use your browser. In the case when Wi-Fi is turned off, you can activate it in the mentioned notification menu or through the settings that you will find in the menu. After you open the wireless connection section, activate Wi-Fi, then the device will automatically search for networks. The only thing left to do is to select a network from the list, enter a password, if necessary, and click "Connect".

How to access the Internet on Android?

To do this, follow these instructions:

  • Select the browser installed in your smartphone or tablet, open it.
  • Then you can use the browser in the same way as on a computer - in front of you there will be a line for entering an address, the ability to add tabs, and additional icons hide menus for adding bookmarks, viewing the history of page visits, and so on.

In general, there is nothing complicated in working with the browser on a tablet or smartphone - if you do not know some functions or icons, just try them.

We just missed one point - to enter the website address, you need a keyboard.

How to work with the keyboard?

The keyboard will automatically open whenever you click on the line where this or that text or message is entered. Therefore, launching it is a simple matter, and if you need to remove the input tool, just click "Back".

You should know the following about working with the keyboard:

  • The arrangement of the keys here is the same as on a computer keyboard.
  • The globe icon is used to change the input language.
  • The transparent arrow changes the keys to uppercase, if you press twice in a row, the Caps Lock mode will turn on.
  • The arrow with a cross erases characters, the large button on the right serves to move the cursor down - like a computer's Enter key.
  • To move the cursor, touch the desired area on the screen.
  • Some keys have several symbols - to select an additional, not the main character, just hold your finger on it a little.
  • As a rule, under the letters on the keyboard there are buttons for switching it to a digital layout or a list with symbols - just click on it to open the desired set of symbols.
  • If you need to select text and copy, cut or move it, long press on the line where the piece you want begins, after which two arrows will appear. By stretching them, you can select the required number of characters, and in the top menu select an operation for the selected text.

How do I add other languages ​​to the keyboard?

This is done in the settings, where there is a menu dedicated to input tools - in it you can add languages, enable or disable dictionaries, and perform other keyboard settings.

In tablets, input settings are available in the bottom line, next to the clock - the corresponding symbol in the form of dots appears every time the keyboard is turned on, so you don't even have to go to the menu and look for the desired section in the settings.

How to use the Google Play Market?

This service is an application where you can find thousands of different programs for your Android device. As a rule, the Play Market is by default in the menu of your tablet or smartphone, to use it you need a Google account - if you have not logged in before, you will do this when you first start the store.

So how do you use this miracle? Everything is very simple - choose the application you like or find it through the search bar, click "Install", and then the equipment will cope with everything on its own.

If you need to uninstall a program or transfer it to a memory card, the latter is necessary when there is little space on the device itself, and you can do this in the settings. A separate section contains all applications installed on your gadget.

File manager and how to watch movies and listen to music on Android

To view media files, there is a separate application called Gallery or Media Vault, which you will find in the main menu. There is nothing difficult in using them, the created folders distribute photos, videos that are in the device's memory or on a card.

If you need audio files, books and a general list of files on the device, there is a file manager for this, which on the Android system is called Explorer.

By the way, when viewing photos and pictures in the gallery, you can immediately install them on your desktop, or as an image of a contact from the phone book. In general, setting up backgrounds, widgets and other aesthetic components is a large and separate topic.

How to set a ringtone?

If you use an Android smartphone, you probably want to hear your favorite melody on a call. This is done through the settings - go to the Sound menu, click on the Ringtone line, where you can select the required file. As you can see, in this menu you can completely edit the call settings.

After buying a new phone, a completely logical question arises about how to use a smartphone for a beginner.

This is true for cases when a person has never used such devices and knows little about them. Of course, there are very few of these left, but still they are.

Therefore, it makes sense to figure out what those who have just purchased a smartphone need to know in order for their new device to work as long as possible.

  1. A few simple tips
  2. Conserving battery power
  3. What to install

We'll start from the very beginning.

As a beginner, here are some tips to keep in mind throughout the life of your smartphone:

  • Read the instructions for your device. Surely, this will shed light on many questions that you may have during use. For example, in the instructions you can often find information on how to enter the system menu, how to bypass the lock, and much more. Moreover, all this will be interesting and useful.
  • Immediately after switching on, be sure to get the settings from the operator. They relate to the Internet, MMS and other functions provided by the SIM card. Otherwise, you can, for example, start using the Internet and spend a lot of money on it. When the settings are set, you can safely use all the functions of your smartphone.
  • It is best to immediately connect to Wi-Fi in order to download all the necessary applications and at the same time not use the mobile Internet, which, as we said above, can cost a lot of money.
  • Try to get your new device tested right away. Try to photograph something with it, shoot a video, start games, and several at the same time, and so on. All this will allow you to understand how efficient your new phone is. If something is wrong with it, it is better to give it to the store right away. By law, this can be done within 14 days after purchase for no reason (due to the fact that you simply did not like it).
  • Close all applications when not in use. This means that you need not just click the Back button, but open the list of open applications and click on the Close All button. For example, on Samsung it looks like the one shown in picture # 1.

Rice. # 1. List of open applications in Samsung phone

2. Save battery power

There are many ways to maximize battery life.

Here are the most effective ones:

  • Do not use wallpapers with 3D effects and HD. This is especially true if the resolution of your smartphone is not very high. Then a pretty standard picture will do, not in HD. At the very least, don't do this when using your new smartphone.
  • If you don't need it at the moment, turn off geolocation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Also, if you do not need to constantly use Viber, Skype, other instant messengers and other programs that require permanent Internet, disconnect the mobile network, that is, the Internet from the SIM card.
  • Do not use maximum brightness. Again, at least not at first. Of course, in the store, any smartphone looks very impressive, because there they set the maximum screen brightness. But, unfortunately, in everyday life, using it in the same way will not work. This is something to keep in mind.

In our article, you can learn more about how to save battery power on Android. The same advice applies to other operating systems.

Now let's talk about what applications need to be installed on a brand new phone.

3. What to install

Of course, in the list below, we only list the apps that are most popular in the Android and iOS app stores.

It will also contain programs that users themselves most often mention on the forums. But all this is just a collection of subjective opinions, which may not correspond to your idea of ​​a "gentleman's set" of applications for a smartphone.

So, here are the applications that you need to install on your brand new smartphone:

  • Messengers. This is the same Viber, Skype and much more. Most of them are really very convenient and even if you have never used instant messengers, we advise you to start doing it. For example, if we talk about Viber, then this application allows you to make free calls, even with video, and also be constantly in touch. This is definitely quite handy!

Rice. No. 3. Viber on Android OS

  • Marketplace related applications. In particular, we are talking about the OLX application. Again, if you have never used the services of this site, it is best to start doing so. Selling and buying with the OLX app is really very convenient. The AliExpress branded application is also very popular.
  • One "cleaner". This refers to programs that allow you to remove temporary files from the device, clean up all sorts of garbage and delete everything that can slow down the device. It could be Clean Master, CCleaner, and more. But such a program must be on the phone.
  • File manager. In most cases, smartphones already have some kind of programs that allow you to view files on the internal memory and on the microSD card. But the problem is that they often do not allow you to view everything on the phone. Therefore, it is better to install ES Explorer, Explorer from Maple Media or something similar.

Rice. No. 4. ES File Explorer for Android

  • Player for music and video. Again, smartphones already have standard players from the start. But they often have a variety of problems. For example, audio may be lost in a video, audio may not play at all, and so on. In general, it's better to download additional players. In this blog, you can see which 3 players are best for Android users to play music.

You can easily enter VK or Odnoklassniki through the most ordinary browser. There is absolutely no need to install unnecessary applications.

You can read more about which 10 applications are currently the most popular among Android users in this article.

In addition, you will of course want to play something. In this review, you can see which games are currently the most popular on Google Play.

Most of us feel insecure when we have to familiarize ourselves with a new operating system. And despite the fact that today Android can be found on the overwhelming number of electronic devices, there are still many users who are not familiar with it.

Many system features are never used by users

Xiaomi wearable fitness trackers are hugely popular. The original Mi Band became a real hit, and the second generation only strengthened the position of the Chinese manufacturer. This year, many were waiting for the release of the Mi Band 3, but the company, for some reason, decided not to present this device. Whether it's worth waiting for it at all is unknown, but in the meantime, in India, Xiaomi has presented an improved version of the Mi Band 2, developed in partnership with HRX by Hrithik Roshan. Xiaomi Mi Band HRX Edition looks almost identical to the original Mi Band 2.
