Tips for Mastering Gmail on Android

1. Download and use the Android Gmail application which now supports external POP and

IMAP accounts too. After you have multiple accounts added to your application you can

toggle between them.

2. On your Android Gmail application you can also view "Conversation view" for messages

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

together in a single thread.

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

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

swipe, and not archive, then you can change the Gmail Default action field from

'Archive' to 'Delete'.

Tips for mastering Android Contacts

1. As your contacts on Android device automatically get synced with Google's universal

contacts system, you can view and edit your contacts through Google Contacts web

application. Any changes you make in the contacts list will be updated to any Android

phones or tablets connected to the same account.

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

the person's name in the contacts application. With this you can view the contact name

on top of your phone’s contacts application and dialer.

3. To get rid of multiple entries in contact list, select 'Find Duplicates', in contacts Web

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

related. With a single click you can merge them.

4. You must also ensure that you keep Google+ away from your Android device's contacts.

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

contacts list. This will create unnecessary clutter. To avoid this, in the Google Contacts

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

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

intermingling between your Google+ contacts and Gmail contact list.

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