Thing 2: Mobile Device Tips

Exploring the features and tips and tricks of my Acer Iconia A 200 has been educational. As I was trying to locate tips and tricks for my device, I ran across this Amazon link to get the Amazon free app of the day. I noticed you can also subscribe to the site--I didn't.

I took a second look at the owners manual and refreshed my memory on several things and learned  a few new things. Who new that I had a hidden compartment for a micro SD card? I learned how to take a screen shot (click the icon that says screenshot) and how to change some settings when taking a picture. I will look into photos more when we get to Thing 9. Cleaned up and discarded a few apps I do not use.

When looking on the android forums, I found info on Tethering and Rooting. I will research these to find out the pros and cons and which apps to use. Tethering will connect the 3G device to a WiFi only device so a person can get WiFi through their 3G device.
