In last two posts, we came across the Introduction & the Features of Android OS. In this post, let us know the Home screen & the available features there.
Home screen consists of a Status bar at top of the screen which is divided into two parts.
-----> The left part shows the notifications of SMS's, mails, low disk space, programs pinned to the status bar, updates on the programs installed in the mobile. To see the notifications, drag the screen from top to bottom by pressing/tapping it with the finger. After viewing the notifications, we can clear them by tapping on the clear option.
-----> The right part shows the phone mode (whether in Silent/Vibrate), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE, GPS, phone signal strength, battery indicator, time.
We can even activate/deactivate the programs like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, Data connection & change the mobile modes directly by dragging the status bar to the bottom.
The bottom screen consists of phone applications based on the phone model, mostly phone, contacts, home, messaging, search. We can add or remove the programs at any time. Some mobiles may contain menu, home & back options in the bottom of the screen. Some mobiles contain those buttons externally.
As icons in Windows, Android also supports shortcuts on home screen for the programs we use the most.
* To add shortcuts, press on the screen for 3 secs where you get a popup window asking shortcuts, widgets, live wallpapers, wallpapers to add. Add whatever you want...:-)
* To remove the shortcut icons from the home screen, press on the icon for 3 secs which allows us to move it. Drag the icon to the top of the screen where you can see a recycle bin & drop in it.
The settings & the search button varies based on the program opened. These are the details on home screen. Let us know about the settings in my next post. Keep following & share if you like it...:-) Thank you.......
