Are you getting the most out of Android? You may not know it, but some of the 谷歌 operating systems most useful features may not be in plain view.你的Android系统物尽其用了吗？你可能还不了解吧，Google的这个操作系统中一些最有用的功能可能并非叫人一清二楚。This week, I gathered 10 tricks that could make using an Android device easier and more enjoyable. Since only a handful of devices currently run the latest Android operating system, known as Jelly Bean, I focused on features that work on the more prevalent version of Android known as Ice Cream Sandwich. Many of these tips work on devices that run Jelly Bean and some work on earlier versions of Android. Since there are so many Android phone models, names and wording may differ in some of these steps.谷歌你用手机拍摄的任何照片或视频都可自动保存到谷歌+中一个名为“即时上传”的私人（默认）文件夹中。前不久，我采集了10个能让Android设施用起来愈加便利、愈加愉快的技巧。因为只有少数一些设施运行被叫做“Jelly Bean”的最新的Android操作系统，因此我主要关注的是那些在愈加容易见到的Android版本──Ice Cream Sandwich──上可用的功能。其中很多方法都可在运行Jelly Bean系统的设施上运用，有一些也适用于更早版本的Android。因为搭载Android系统的手机机型很之多，其中一些操作步骤涉及的名字与说法或许会各有差异。1. Easier Keyboarding1. 更方便的键盘输入To avoid switching from Androids letter keyboard to its number and symbol keyboard, hold down the period key to see commonly used punctuation marks and symbols. Slide your finger to the menu that appears, lifting it to select the right key.为了免却从Android的字母键盘切换到数字与符号键盘的麻烦，按下点号键便可看见常见的标点与其他符号。将手指滑至出现的菜单上，然后抬起手指选择正确的键。If you cant stand tapping on glass to type on a virtual keyboard, try not lifting your fingers as much. Many Android devices come preloaded with Swype, which lets you type by dragging your finger from one letter to the next; lift your finger up when the word ends. Its remarkably accurate. To see if Swype is running on your device, spell out a word without lifting your finger. If connecting lines dont appear between each letter, tap and hold the space bar to see the Select Input Method screen and choose Swype. You can still type the old way, tapping one key at a time.假如你不喜欢点击屏幕来在虚拟键盘上打字，那样你可以选择不要抬起手指。很多Android设施出厂时都预装了滑行输入法Swype，通过它可以将手指在字母和字母之间滑动来打字，写完一个词后再将手指抬起。若要查询你的手机是不是安装了Swype，试着不要抬起手指拼写一个词。假如字母之间没连线，那就点击空格键并将它按住以使“选择输入法”屏幕显示出来，然后再选择“Swype”。除此之外，你依旧可以按老办法每次按一个键来打字。2. Unlock With Your Face2. 脸部辨别解锁Instead of tracing a pattern on a screen or typing in a PIN, hold your Android device up and stare into its front-facing camera for a second to unlock it. This isnt as secure as other methods and doesnt always work, but it can be fun to use. To set this up go to Settings, Security, Screen Lock and choose Face Unlock. Set a backup PIN or pattern to trace for those moments when face detection doesnt work.若要将Android设施解锁，你不必在屏幕上滑动解锁图标或是输入个人辨别码，仅需把你的设施举起来，然后盯住它的前置摄像头一秒钟时间。这个办法并不如其他办法那样保险，而且更不是一直都有用，但用起来倒是非常有意思。若要设置这个功能，可选择“设置”-“安全”-“屏幕解锁”，然后选择“脸部辨别解锁”。你还可设置一个备用的个人辨别码或是解锁图案以备脸部辨别不起用途之时用。3. Screen Shots Made Simple3. 轻松截屏Capture a still image of any screen youre looking at by simultaneously pressing the power button and the volume down button. Find your screen shot in your Gallery under Screenshots or in the Notifications shade, which pulls down from the TOP of the screen. This feature only works in Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich or later.同时按下电源按钮和音量减少键可截取你正在观看的任何屏幕的静态图片。你可在“截屏”目录下的“图库”或是“公告栏”（可把它从屏幕顶端拉下）中找到你的截屏。该功能只适用于搭载Ice Cream Sandwich或更新版本的Android设施。4. Manage Screens4. 管理屏幕In Android, app icons and widgets are organized on several Home screens. There are two ways to rearrange or remove these screens. One way on certain phones is to swipe from right to left to get to the last screen on your phone, tap at the bottom of that last screen and then touch and hold a screen to rearrange its order or remove it. For a shortcut, tap and hold the phones Home button for a second to jump directly to this.在Android系统中，应用程序的图标与小工具都被排列在几个主屏上。重新排列或删除这类屏幕的办法有两种。其中一种可在某些手机上应用的办法是从右向左滑动屏幕以转至手机上的最后一个主屏，在这一屏幕的底端点击（这项操作的另一个说法可能是“管理页面”），然后触摸并按住屏幕来重新安排其出现的顺序或把它删除。若要快捷操作的话，点击并按住手机的Home键一秒钟时间直接跳到这一步。5. Shortcut to Contacts5. 快捷联系你的联系人Theres an easier way to get in touch with your favorite people: Pin their faces to a Home screen. Go to All Apps, Widgets, select the Contact widget, which will prompt you to choose a persons name from your contacts list. That persons photo and contact information will be pinned to Home, for faster texting, calling and social networking. A Favorite Contacts widget pins four together on the Home screen.与你的常用联系人联系有一种更方便的办法：把他们的脸部照片“钉”在主屏上。选择“所有程序”-“工具”，然后选择“联系人”这一工具，它会叫你从联系人列表中选择某个人的名字。然后，这个被选中的联系人的照片与联系方法会被“钉”在主屏上以便你更快地向其发送短信、打电话或是通过社交媒体联系。“常用联系人”工具可将四名联系人一同“钉”在主屏上。6. Save the Battery With a Widget6. 借用小工具节电STOP digging through menus to quickly turn off features that suck up your battery. One tool will do the trick: the Power Control widget. Find this by opening the All Apps page and tapping Widgets at the TOP. You may have to flip through a few screens to find the Power Control widget, but when you do, tap and hold it to anchor it on any of your pages. once this bar is on a page, it will let you tap once to turn five features on or off: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, automatic account syncing and screen brightness .不需要细究菜单便可飞速关闭那些耗费电量的功能，有一个工具可以帮到你──“电量控制”工具。要想找到这个工具，打开“所有程序”页面，然后点击顶端的“工具”。你可能还要翻过几个屏幕才能找到“电量控制”工具，当你找到它时，点击并按住以把它固定在随意哪一个页面上。一旦把这个工具栏放到了页面，点击一次便可启动或关闭五个功能──无线互联网、蓝牙、GPS、账户自动同步（针对Google、Facebook、linkedIn及其他账户）与屏幕亮度调节（低亮、中亮、高亮或自动调节）。7. Auto-Update Apps7. 自动升级软件Avoid the nagging update notices that appear in your drop-down Notifications shade and set your apps to automatically update as updates become available. If youre worried about conserving data, set this to update only over Wi-Fi. Open the 谷歌 Play store, Settings, Auto-Update Apps by Default and check the Wi-Fi option.这一设置可帮你消除在手机的下拉式公告栏中出现的恼人的更新公告，在有软件可更新时自动更新它们。假如你担忧保存数据的问题，可把它设置为只通过无线互联网更新。打开“谷歌 Play store”-“设置”-“默认自动更新软件”，然后勾选“无线互联网”选项。8. Sync Photos and Videos on the Go8. 即时同步照片和视频If youve signed up for 谷歌s social network, 谷歌+, you can automatically save any photos or videos you capture on your device to a private folder in 谷歌+ called Instant Upload. See these back at your deskTOP by accessing 谷歌+ and looking at Photos, Instant Upload. Conserve data usage by adjusting when these photos and videos get uploaded, like only in Wi-Fi or only when the device is plugged in and charging. Adjust these settings from your mobile device in 谷歌+, Settings, Instant Upload.假如你注册了Google的社交互联网谷歌+，你用手机拍摄的任何照片或视频都可自动保存到谷歌+中一个名为“即时上传”的私人（默认）文件夹中。若要在桌面浏览这类内容，可访问谷歌+，查询“照片”-“即时上传”（视频也保存在此处）。将这类照片和视频上传之后，可通过调整设置来保存数据流量，譬如只通过无线互联网或是当手机接通电源充电时启用。你可在手机上访问谷歌+ -“设置”-“即时上传”来调整这类设置。9. Smarter Web Browsing9. 更智能的网页浏览功能谷歌s Chrome browser comes preloaded on Android devices and works on PC or Mac computers, iPads, iPhones and other devices. If you own a few devices and use Chrome on each, instantly access the tabs you left open on one from another device by tapping Menu, Other Devices and tapping on an opened website in another devices list of opened tabs. Browse in Chrome without leaving any history by using Incognito Mode on your Android mobile device. Turn this on in Menu, New Incognito Tab.Android设施预装了Google的Chrome浏览器，它还可在PC电脑或Mac电脑、iPad、iPhone和其他设施上运行。假如你拥有好几部Android设施，而且在每部设施上都用Chrome浏览器，若要从另一部设施飞速访问你在某部设施上打开着的标签页，可点击“菜单”-“其他设施”，然后在这部设施打开的标签页列表中点击一个打开的网站。你可在Android手机上启用“无痕浏览模式”，这样在Chrome浏览器上浏览网页时便不会留下任何浏览记录。选择“菜单”-“新建无痕浏览标签”即可启用这个功能。10. Back Up and Restore Settings, Apps10. 备份与恢复设置和应用程序If youre upgrading from one Android device to another, you can start using your new device with your old settings and apps if you follow these steps.假如你新换了一部Android设施，根据以下这类步骤进行设置，即可在新设施上用以往的旧设置和应用程序。First, on the old device, go to Settings, Privacy Settings or Settings, Backup and Reset . Place a check mark beside the Back Up My Data option. Give it a few minutes to back up and then when you start the new Android device, a setup option will let you restore settings and apps from backup.第一，在旧设施上选择“设施”-“隐私设置”（适用于搭载Android2.0版本的设施），你也可以进入“设置”-“备份与重置”（适用于搭载Android4.0或5.0版本的设施）。勾选“备份我的数据”选项，然后等待几分钟以让设施备份数据。当你启动新Android设施时，便可通过一个设置选项恢复备份中的设置与应用程序。
