Welcome to my How To guides for Android.  Here you will find guides to help you with this Google platform.  All of the guides here are meant to help you get the best out of your phone or tablet but also give you insights into a feature or function that you may not know your device can do.

Keep in mind that as the platform matures, some of the information in these How To’s may change or look different in a newer version.  Also, Google from time-to-time removes functionality from Android so you may try something from one of these tips and it simply not be available any more.  That’s rare, but it does happen.

Finally, these are simply guides.  There is no guarantee that they will work for you or do what you need it to do.  And no, I’m not tech support 🙂 but you are welcome to drop me a line if you have a new tip or have an improvement on an existing How To.
