Hi there, I just purchased my first Android device (well, technically it's the second one but the one I had before was broken so I ordered this one the same day instead) a few days ago. I've been using Blackberry OS and iOS devices so I'm a bit confused by some things available / not available in Android. So, first things first: my tablet is a P3110, Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" and it's running the pre-installed version of Android, so 4.1.1. I was able to answer most of my questions through Google but then again I have some more complicated questions and hope I'll be able to find answers on here. How do I launch apps automatically when I start the system? I.e. Skype. Will the tablet automatically go into energy conservation mode when I lock the screen? How can I take screenshots? I tried like 5 or 6 shortcuts I found on Google and the "Screenshot Ultimate" app but nothing worked. How can I rename files / folders through the file manager? All I could do was copy the folder / file. How can I change the language in Google Currents? I'm living in France but like to read English / German newspapers. I tried the "Search for more" button but it didn't bring up any results. That's all I can think for now, thanks for your replies.
My screen automatically turns off when I lock the screen. Check under the Settings>>>Security if yours doesn't ; not sure if this is a setting or specific to my model (GT-P3113) Look under Settings>>>Display, there is a Quick Launch options for the Screenshot key. This is if you want to set the key as always available. It was the default when I got mine. It'll be the fourth key from the left on the bottom. If you're using the stock file manager (My Files), select a file, then press the options symbol on the upper right and Rename.
1) Thanks - that's for one app only but it's good enough for Skype! 2) Any ideas which one? I'd hate to go through several ones and play trial & error especially since I don't want to root the device. 3) Doesn't work, I found that shortcut through Google. All shortcuts like volume up + power etc. are not working either. Edit 3) I just found another one, POWER + VOLUME DOWN. It's necessary to press them at the exact same time, even if the first one is being pressed a split second earlier it won't work. 4) AnciusD cleared that up, my bad - it's indeed in the options tab. 5) Just found it, it's not in the settings but the "Customize" button in the feed itself. 1) Yes, mine does as well - I was just curious if it'll disable WiFi as well if I do. The iPhone does, for example. Not a biggie anyway. 2) It's not there, I checked that before and again just now. All I can change there is Background Brightness Screen Timeout Font Type Font Size Show Battery In % 3) Indeed, I must be blind - stupid question, sorry. I've marked open questions in red, maybe someone has an idea how to fix this. Thank you guys so much.
I've been wondering if the built-in screen shot functionality went away with 4.1.1, now I think I know. It's present on 4.0.4. If you check your settings, there should be an option to disable wifi when the screen is locked. Well, in 4.0.4 it's there anyway.
