The purpose of this guide is to introduce to you some basic features and settings of
your new friend and partner: Xtreamer Ban-G – an Android mobile phone.
Android OS provides an open platform, lots of flexibility and a true freedom to
customize your phone to be uniquely suitable to your needs. And that's great but if
you have no experience with Android your first contact can be somewhat
overwhelming: all these options, settings, features and functions can present a bit of
a challenge.
Those new to the smartphone scene are suddenly required to learn a whole new
operating system and people used to the ordered simplicity of Apple products feel
that they are confronted by chaos.
Surprisingly there are almost no newbie guides for Android. So this is what we
wanted to give you: a few very simple tutorials and some advice on how to use your
new device.
So, let's begin…
A few words about Android
Android is an operating system for mobile phones, in much the same way that many
PCs run Microsoft Windows as their operating system. It is developed by
and
allows you to use many of the programs you might have on your home computer,
such as Skype, Internet browsers, document readers and editors, but in addition to
that it provides access to the applications specifically created for devices with the
touch-screen interface.
With Android you literally have the world on your fingertips.
On Xtreamer Ban-G you have an Android version called Jelly Bean. This is an
advanced OS: smoother, faster and more responsive than anything you might have
seen on a mobile device. There are a lot of nice little features that will make your life
easier and more convenient and we will go through some of them.
What does Android look like?
Android's standard layout is to have a series of
Home screens
, which can contain
shortcuts
to launch
apps
, or can contain
widgets
, which are small programs that
serve a single function, such as controlling your music or displaying Facebook
updates.
From the Home screens, you can bring up a menu with all of your other apps on.
Very little is done from within the Android interface, but instead you launch an app
for what you want to do, including dialing the phone or browsing through your
contacts.
