Tips for Mastering Gmail on <strong>Android</strong><br />

1. Download and use the <strong>Android</strong> Gmail application which now supports external POP and<br />

IMAP accounts too. After you have multiple accounts added to your application you can<br />

toggle between them.<br />

2. On your <strong>Android</strong> Gmail application you can also view "Conversation view" for messages<br />

from external accounts. With this you will feel more organized as all replies are grouped<br />

together in a single thread.<br />

3. Gmail application is so easy to use and time saving in the sense that with a single swipe<br />

you can move a conversation/email from inbox to archive. If you wish to delete on a<br />

swipe, and not archive, then you can change the Gmail Default action field from<br />

'Archive' to 'Delete'.<br />

Tips for mastering <strong>Android</strong> Contacts<br />

1. As your contacts on <strong>Android</strong> device automatically get synced with Google's universal<br />

contacts system, you can view and edit your contacts through Google Contacts web<br />

application. Any changes you make in the contacts list will be updated to any <strong>Android</strong><br />

phones or tablets connected to the same account.<br />

2. In order to access frequently used contact(s) easily, you can tap the star icon alongside<br />

the person's name in the contacts application. With this you can view the contact name<br />

on top of your phone’s contacts application and dialer.<br />

3. <strong>To</strong> get rid of multiple entries in contact list, select 'Find Duplicates', in contacts Web<br />

Application, from the menu on left side. This will bring up a list of entries that seem<br />

related. With a single click you can merge them.<br />

4. You must also ensure that you keep Google+ away from your <strong>Android</strong> device's contacts.<br />

This is because everyone you add on G+ will automatically get added to your Gmail<br />

contacts list. This will create unnecessary clutter. <strong>To</strong> avoid this, in the Google Contacts<br />

Web application, click ‘More’ on the left side of the screen and then click on 'Settings'.<br />

Now uncheck the box under Circles and click on save. This will ensure that there is no<br />

intermingling between your Google+ contacts and Gmail contact list.

Tips for mastering <strong>Android</strong> Calendar<br />

1. Download the latest Google Calendar application for <strong>Android</strong> instead of using the one<br />

given by your phone manufacturer. The latest one offers great user experience. The<br />

application can add relevant images and maps to your images.<br />

2. <strong>To</strong>day Calendar app, free with an optional $4.49 pro version, provides a base akin to<br />

Google Calendar. It also provides advanced options such as custom themes support and<br />

a number of fully customizable widgets with agenda as well as complete month views.<br />

3. Google Now, integrated into <strong>Android</strong>, can help manage reminders based on your current<br />

time or location. All you need to do is tap the microphone on your home screen then say<br />

"Remind me to take the bill copy while leaving for office".<br />

4. You can also create recurring reminders with Google Now using the above steps. All you<br />

need to do is use the word "every"- "Remind me every month to clear the bills".<br />

Eagerness and research can help you utilize all features of your <strong>Android</strong> device. The more eager<br />

you are to search the features and use them to the best of your convenience, the more you will<br />

derive from your device or platform. Utilize the best of the <strong>Android</strong> platform and enhance your<br />

professional life today!
