It comes with some amazing features which will make you love your Android phones and tablets even more. Some of the valuable upgrades that come with the Ice Cream Sandwich are that it allows you to customize your phone, enables multitasking, easier navigation, enhanced interaction and a user-friendly interface which you would admire. Here are some tips and tricks that will easily get you through your Android phones and tablets.

Now you can interact better and communicate faster using your Android 4.0 as the typeface is optimized to suit high resolution and bigger screens. All applications have a system bar with viral buttons which will help you navigate to your previous screen, home page and recent applications. You can dim the system bar for viewing contents on full screen. You can see instant notifications on the system bar to view incoming messages, real time updates, downloads, music track lists and much more. As I mentioned earlier, you can customize your home screen by adding shortcuts and resizing your widgets to have more space. You can also enable a ‘favorites tray’ on your home screen and prioritize
your applications, folders and files in it.

Typing messages using the Android 4.0 keyboard is interesting as it has a default dictionary and spell checker which suggests multiple replacements and highlights errors. Added to this is a robust voice input engine that continuously streams your voice and enters the text as you speak. Nowadays, people use their phone profusely for browsing the web and the all new improved Android 4.0 gives you a fascinating surfing experience. You can sync your bookmarks in Google Chrome, emails, games and other applications. You can easily read through the websites with the option of zooming the text or content in a web page.

If you are not worried about your privacy and would like to access your messages and recent notifications easily, then you can simply slide the lock screen without unlocking your phone for viewing them. For enhanced security you can enable the Face Unlock feature on your android device. During the set-up, you can register your face by looking at the front camera using the Android facial recognition software. You will receive a built-in backup PIN number to unlock your phone when the software fails.

Once your face is registered, you can hold the phone straight to your face to unlock. Simply amazing, isn’t it? Not just this, you still have many more delightful features to experience on your Android Ice Cream Sandwich. So why are you still waiting to get the supreme Android 4.0 version on your device?
