Take photos while recording video
With the recent versions
of Android you can now take photos while recording video by simply
pressing the screen. This will save that particular frame to the gallery
while continuing to record video.

While in the Camera App,
there are two ways to zoom in or out. First, you can use Volume Up and
Down keys. Secondly, you can pinch your fingers on the screen to zoom in
and out.
Setup a new email account
If you want to setup new
email accounts, like Yahoo or Hotmail, go to your list of Apps. Find
the Email icon and press on it. A setup wizard will then be launched.
Enter you email address and password into the fields. You can also
change the settings after this step. Once you're happy with the
settings, give your account a Name and you're done.
Allow swear words in your voice recognition
By default, your phone
will recognise swear words, but insert x's instead of the word. To
change this, go to Settings - My Device - Language and input - Voice
Search - Then untick Block offensive words.
Remove large apps
If you are running low
on phone memory, you can look for your largest applications to
uninstall. Go to Settings - More - Application manager. Then swipe from
right to left and select Running. From here you can see which
applications are taking up the most memory and close them.
Double tap to highlight a word
When entering text into
Apps such as your Messaging App, Facebook App and so on, you can tap on
the words to start selecting text. Normally, you would then drag the
left and right sliders to select the word, or words you want to
highlight. If you double tap on a word however, it will quickly select
that word. Very handy for quickly copying and one words, name or place.
