System settings for Android 6.0. Android ads (Android): All hidden features and functions

Here we finally got to the sixth version of the most popular mobile platform. The interface is not too different from the fifth (lollipop), but Google added a lot of new features here, which many may not even suspect. It is why we decided to make a kind of guide to the main features of this OS, so that each user can fully enjoy all the charms.

How to use search on the screen

Google Assistant daily supplies users with all the necessary information, but thanks to the search on the screen, you can in a blink of an eye to get detailed information about the incomprehensible word or text fragment. Probably, many familiar the situation when the message indicates a meeting place that you want to know more, or it is not familiar at all.

Previously, it was necessary to close the application, then enter the name of the place (for example, restaurant) in the search engine. Now it is in the past, because you can get the necessary information right in the application by clicking the "Home" button. Google will automatically show the route to the place, the institution menu and will display the phone numbers.

But that's not all. Search on the screen is compatible with most applications. When watching the movie you can use this feature to find a youtube trailer or a film on a film with information about the film, as well as links to actors and actresses.

Suppose in the Google+ or Facebook ribbon or Facebook you saw a post with the mention of the film that you are interested. Search on the screen will help to find all the necessary information about it. In the same way, you can search for information about places, telecasts, songs that are referred to in the text on the screen.

How to manage the energy saving mode in Android 6

Doze is a new cost saving mode on Android 6.0, which significantly increases the battery life. The bottom line is that if you do not use the gadget a certain timeThe sleep mode is switched on, and the activity of applications is reduced.

However, it is not necessary to worry about missing notifications: if the developers have provided such an opportunity, notifications and messages will continue to receive from the application.

You can disable, so to speak, "falling asleep" applications manually. To do this, open the "settings" → "More", choose the section "Battery". Next, we click on three points in the right upper corner of the screen, we are looking for a "saving battery saving", go to the "Do not save the charge."

Find an application in the list that should not affect energy-saving mode. Remember that, the more non-optimized applications, the greater the load on the battery, so make exceptions only for truly important.

How to track the most "voracious" applications

Sometimes the gadget can slow down without visible causes. But there is an opportunity to identify the most resource-proof applications thanks to the new unnecessary named "Memory" function. We climb into the "Settings", we find a section with the same name.

Here you can track the average consumption of RAM over the past three hours, six, twelve hours or for the whole day. And the option "Using Memory Applications" will show how much RAM goes to each application. Actually, therefore, applications that consume too many system resources are calculated.

How to use Google translator in other applications

Those who often use Google will have to make the new feature. In any application, we allocate the text that we want to translate and in context menu Select the "Translate" option. No longer need to copy text from the application, and then insert it on a web page with the service. The option is available in any application where the selection of text is maintained.

How to use direct data transmission feature (Direct Sharing)

Easter from the developers in the form of the game in Android Marshmallow

Google hides the so-called "Easter eggs" in each android versionAnd Marshmallow did not exception. The local secret is similar to the one that was in the previous version. In general, this is a copy of the game Flappy Bird, in which you need to fly between obstacles, not touching them. In the past part, these were lollipops, in this - marshmallow. Also, you can also add up to 6 players.

To open the game, go to "Settings" and click on the line "On the phone". Then quickly and several times click on the item "Android version" until the letter "M" appears in the center of the screen. Press it and see marshmallows with antennas. And again we click on the screen (at least three times), after which we simply hold the finger in the picture while the game does not start.

How to configure fast settings panel in Android 6

If you spend on the screen with two fingers from top to bottom, the quick settings panel will appear. It looks just super. And it can be more cooler, if you set it up for yourself. Fortunately, Google finally added such an opportunity in the sixth version of Android. However, it will be necessary to unlock System UI TUNER ( additional settings).

To do this, hold the icon in the form of a gear in the upper right corner. After a couple of seconds we let go. Next will pop up a message that the System UI TUNER is added to the "Settings".

We climb into them and see the new line "System UI Tuner" below, open the rapid settings. Here we can drag and delete any panel items. In addition, you can add new options.

How to enable the battery charge in percent

Conveniently when the battery status is displayed in the status bar, but many want to see the level. This is done through the additional section of the "System UI Tuner" settings (we have already turned on in the previous part of the article). So, in the "Settings" menu, click on the "System UI Tuner", then put the switch to the ON position near the line "Show the battery level in percent."

How to disable all sounds on the smartphone using the volume button

"Plug" your gadget on Android Lollipop. It was not so easy. The benefit that Google returned the possibility of transition to a silent regime (which does not concern the alarm clock). Just reduce the volume to the minimum, using the volume button.

How to use the "Do not disturb"

Google redested the last version of the Android, which in Marshmallow is called the "Do not disturb" mode. It can be found in the quick settings panel. Three versions of this mode are available:

1. "Full silence",
2. "Only alarm clock",
3. "Only important."

Anyone selected from them will act before turning off this function by the user or automatically in accordance with the specified time. In the first two options, the name speaks for itself, and when the third item is selected, it is possible to make an exception for certain notifications and contacts.

How to manage applications in Android 6

In our opinion, the most pleasant thing that is in the sixth version of Android - the ability to issue permissions separately. In other words, applications can be deprived of specific rights to receive data from the gadget. Let's say if you consider that some game does not need access to contacts, you can not give it without any problems.

Of course, when installing will have to accept the request. But after going to "Settings", where we find the section "Applications". Now choose the desired game or application and click on the line "Permissions". On the next screen, we will find a list of all permissions of the selected application, opposite each option there is a switch. You know what to do. In some cases, deprivation of certain rights may result in errors in the application, but permissions are also easily displayed, as deleted.

You can also view all applications with sorting by type issued permissions. We go to the "Settings" → "Applications", click on the gear icon, we get into the additional settings, now we click on the "application permissions" item. We have a list of applications with access to specific components of the device, for example, to the chamber, microphone or contacts.

How to enable an application association with references

On Android 6, you can make sure that certain links always open the selected application. This feature is present in any version, but before it was proposed to choose from the list or set this default parameter, and it also worked not always as it is necessary.

The sixth version has a little more options for this feature. From the "Settings" menu, go to the "Applications" and click on the icon in the form of a gear. Next, click on the line "Links in applications", a list of all applications and links that they automatically open will appear on the screen. Here you can link web addresses to specific applications and select whether to open the references to the application or each time you confirm the action manually.

How to look for files

We like ES conductor in all respects, but climbing folders and android files Marshmallow can be without it. We climb into the "Settings" → "Memory" below there is the "Search" option, click on it. The tree of all files and folders with a convenient display will open. You can sort the list by name, date changes and size by clicking on the gear icon. To search for a file clamp on a magnifying glass.

How to highlight text

The selection of text on the sensor is almost always implemented by the ax, however, thanks to the innovations from Google, the process on Marshmallow has been much simplified. As before, we press and hold the text that we want to highlight, but now it is possible to move your finger on the screen to automatically selection.

How to adjust the volume

Drive the volume on the sixth version is easier than on the fifth. Click on the volume button and see the volume scale on the screen. The arrow on the upper right side of the screen is responsible for additional settings (the volume of system sounds, music, video and alarm clock). They are located along the path "Settings" → "Sounds and Notifications".

There are many hidden functions that can be very useful. System UI TUNER is one of them. After activating this menu, the user gets more opportunities in terms of customization android interface. In one of the articles on Treshbox we are already.

Some developers have already adapted System UI Tuner for needs ordinary users. For example, which was available and on previous Android versions, uses UI TUNER to add custom buttons to the quick action menu, which leaves top view with the "Blind" of notifications. The coolest thing is that on Android 6.0 MarshMallow, the use of Custom Quick Settings does not require root access.

How it works

First of all, you need to activate the System UI Tuner menu, which works only on the stable version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Some preview of Android M did not receive this feature. You can read about the activation of the UI TUNER in our relevant article, but if you do not want to move somewhere out of this material, then: fully open the top "curtain" with rapid actions and notifications, housing for 5-7 seconds the gear button that leads In the settings menu - all, System UI TUNER is activated. Now in the general menu android settings An appropriate item appeared, but it will not need it. The Custom Quick Settings application will do everything for you.


Next, install the Custom Quick Settings application itself, which is available for free, but with advertising. It is removed through internal purchases - 99 rubles.

After installing the application, the custom button with the action in the upper menu can be added a pair of action. By pressing the plus Custom Quick Settings, you can select the name of the button, its action - opening any given web page, start the application, go to some submenu of the settings or the activation of the module. For the button you can select the icon (1,200 pieces of standard are available; custom), as well as additional action for long pressing. For example, you can create a quick link to Treshboks, and for a long pressing will open or any other site - a very convenient thing.

Capabilities

You can also make a quick action that connects the device to a specific Wi-Fi, is present in the list of preserved. Custom buttons with starting applications will be very useful - the need to go to the desktop to open necessary program.

The possibilities in the plan for creating fast action are very limited - you can only set the connection to a certain wi-Fi network or device with bluetooth. Here everything rests on the System UI Tuner functionality.

The Pro version of the application is available to add functional shortcuts with rapid action. There is support for IFTTT. It is worth noting that all custom buttons added using Custom Quick Settings do not work on the lock screen - they are simply not displayed in the "curtain", which is quite expected.

Recall all these features are also available on Android 5.0 / 5.1, but for this is necessary. The developer notes that Custom Quick Settings does not use the additional battery energy - the program starts once when the system is loaded, and the custom buttons are updated only after the user does.

Nice to see how operating system Android with each new version adopts the functions that were previously available only with root rights. We hope that Google will not delete the System UI Tuner function in the future android update 6.0.1 or 6.1. By the way, have you already updated to MarshMallow?

It took place in October 2015, but it is installed now just by more than 2% of devices on this platform. As you know, updates are not distinguished by excessive efficiency.

There is this system you or not, you can learn about it something new of the tips below. Read them and teach a smartphone or tablet new skills. Note that the description refers to clean version Systems, without shells from third-party companies, where the location of the settings may be different.

1. Use Now ON TAP to the maximum

One of the most promotable new features of the system is something called Now ON Tap. This is a type of Google's virtual assistant, which gives contextual information about what is now shown on the screen. To use, press and hold the HOME button.

Now on tap can bring a lot of use, its capabilities are constantly increasing and after exit. When activated at the time of displaying the airflight number on the screen (for example, in the correspondence), NOW on Tap will give the opportunity to see the status of the flight without the need to open another application. When activated at the time of displaying the issue of the goods when buying in the online store there will be a description of the delivery process.

Now on Tap can be used to obtain the direction of movement, addresses of organizations and searching for streets, receiving data on restaurants, session time to cinema. It is only necessary that the desired topic is running on the machine screen.

2. Turn off TAP.

Despite the entire potential of NOW ON TAP, the benefit from the function is still limited. For some, it is not diverse enough to hold a place in the Home button, especially since in the past versions of Android, pressing it opened Google Now..

Fortunately, NOW ON TAP is turned off. After that, clicking on Home will open Google Now. Open the operating system settings, Google Settings -\u003e Search and prompts -\u003e NOW ON TAP and switch the slider. Then, if necessary, you can immediately turn on the function back.

3. Change the rapid settings panel

It is possible to change the icons displayed in the quick access panel - where shown wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth, flashlight, flight mode, etc. This is done in the System UI Tuner tool. Twice spend from the top of the screen. Press and hold the gear icon at the top on the right, it will turn, after the availability message will appear about the availability of System UI TUNER.

Open the settings and at the bottom of the list. There appeared the System UI Tuner option.

4. We continue tuning system

If you are resolutely configured to continue to make changes to the system, use a third-party Custom Quick Settings application. It is even deeper than the TUNER, drove into the system deep into and allows you to add different shortcuts in the settings panel.

However, we warn that this program has not too friendly to the user interface. Work with her only if you are confident in your power and knowledge.

5. Increase volume

The volume in Android 5.0 was configured uncomfortable, but there are no problems in Marshmallow. You can open all the elements of the sound control system - for alarm clock and notifications, music, call. They are available from everywhere in the system.

When you press the volume button up or down, the system opens the sound setting for activity that is kept in this moment. If audio is played, the sound setup opens for it. If you want to change the sound somewhere else, use the down arrow to the right of the volume slider. Other sliders will appear, allowing you to change the sound in other places.

6. Setting up silence

Part of the revised volume control system is the new "Do not disturb" mode. When you need a complete silence, click on this option in fast settings. All sounds and vibrations will be turned off or coming up, or for a while. You can drown everything by leaving alarm clock or notifications from priority applications.

7. Simple provision of silence

If you have no time to think about the options and you need to quickly drown the machine, press the volume button down, the icon will appear that only vibration works. Then release the button and press again.

It translates Android to the silence mode, in which only alarm clock works. Android Lollipop users will be able to evaluate the simplicity of this solution.

8. Automatic switching on silence mode

Save yourself an extra minute, forcing the device to be silent in advance when you know what you will be busy.

Open the settings in the Sounds and Notifications section and click Do not disturb. Here you can create different rules, indicating when the silence must automatically include, depending on the day and time, or the presence of certain tasks in the calendar.

9. Installation of priorities

Not everyone wants to be distracted by every squeak produced by a smartphone, but it is impossible to skip important notifications. The priority system comes into business android notifications 6.0.

Before you start using it, you need to configure. Open not to disturb the sounds and notifications again and click the only important option.

There is a list of notification types, you can put them high priority - reminders, events, specific calls and text messages. You can even resolve calls from certain subscribers if they call the second time in 15 minutes.

By configuring everything as it should, activate the mode only important, as stated in the tip number 6, and only the events and people will be disturbed to disturb you.

10. Control of notifications

Other disadvantage of Android 5.0 is an obsessive display notification (Heads-Up or PEEK). Large card-based notifications were updated in Android 5.1, but it was only an intermediate solution to the problem.

In MarshMallow, notifications can be controlled and installed which applications can display them on the screen, and which only in the status panel. Open Sounds and Notifications in Settings -\u003e Application Notifications and select the application. A list of settings will appear where you can make notifications from this application important (will be shown when you're not disturbed) or prohibit show notifications on the screen.

11. Further setting of applications

Continuing the subject of control over applications, Android 6.0 simplifies viewing and issues tabs with what they do. Open the application section in the settings and select the desired one.

Here you will see how much the place is the application in memory and learn the types of data access permissions received by them. The use of RAM and battery is shown, which will help determine too quickly consuming program resources (Hint: Follow Google Photos and Facebook).

12. Working with text

The text selection tool in the system has been simplified. It gives access to third-party developers offering new opportunities.

Most recently published a new operating system from Google - Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Preview of the novelties appeared on May 28, 2015. release date latest versionwhich is already available to update on many devices - September 29, 2015. Compared from the shell acquired new features, such as security settings and blocking using a fingerprint. Developers are positioning the system as energy-saving - users can independently configure the parameters that are responsible for the battery consumption. The first to get access to the update of the Nexus 5, 6, 7, 9, Player gadgets. The new operating system is very easy to go with previous versions Android - 5.0 and 5.1, which are currently installed in most flagship mobile devices Sony, HTC, SAMSUNG, LG. October 5, 2015 an image for updating nexus devices Became available for download on the official website.

Review of the new features of the new operating system Android 6.0 from Google

An overview of the new operating system showed that one of the essential innovations were changes in the functioning of applications. Now users have gained access to daily maintaining all applications data. This system works very simply - once a day the user can record information on Google Drive.. Thus, not only program settings are saved, but also their condition. Games will now be much easier to return to the level of the game in the event of errors. Previously, it was forced to start passing the favorite game anew. Such an innovation simplified the work thanks to the rapid restoration of program settings that do not have to be installed manually after the device fails.

One of the main differences between Android 6.0 from old versions - manual settings Security that can be specified when working with applications. It functions very simple. Previously, it was necessary to allow access to all data and devices to the program, the camera, microphone, location during the installation of the program. Users were forced to open full access To all the requested parameters without the possibility of choosing only some of them. The simplest Wallpaper application "required" access to contacts, microphone. For manual selection of parameters, some have enjoyed root rights that limit the possibility of warranty service of the phone or tablet and require certain skills to receive them.

Android 6.0 developers have provided the option to select the parameters that the application will use. For example, the program requests access to the microphone, camera and contacts. During the installation of the program, the user can manually select only access to the microphone. At the same time, at the time when the application needs access to the camera, an appropriate request will appear on the screen. Thus, while the program does not use the first time, access to it will be closed.

Such an innovation has long been expected by many users who are interested in security and confidentiality issues. This is due to the fact that the policy of many developers is not loyal to privacy. To date, many applications require permission that are superfluous for this application. For this reason, most of the owners of non-oil models of mobile devices expect when Android 6 will be released for their gadgets. It is believed that such privacy policy will attract more customers of the business sector for which information security is the key principle in the use of modern technologies.

Use fast payment system

Next innovation is not key to users Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus. We are talking about Android Pay technology. Previously, Google has already tried to implement a system of application. mobile phones and tablets as electronic wallets called Google Wallet, which, unfortunately, has not led to a successful result. At the same time, many modern gadgets are supplied with a built-in fingerprint scanning function. Among them Huawei Ascend. Mate 7 I. Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Most modern smartphones And tablets support NFC technology.

This allowed developers to introduce into a new operating system android technology Pay, which will make the most convenient to carry out payments. Credit information and debit cards Stored on a mobile device. This allows payments to both virtual and real stores.

Expected that new technology Allows you to restart Google Wallet in Android. To do this, you need to attract credit organizations to the project. In essence, this is an attempt by Google to introduce a wide use of mobile gadgets, for fast payments. Such a system successfully functions on Apple devices. Successful work Apple Pay. Shows that the future is for mobile payments. Thus, Android Pay technology is not an attempt to compete with Apple, but rather, the desire of the Android developers to create a convenient operating system that supports high-tech standards.

Energy saving mode

Android 6.0 purchased a new feature - Doze. It will mostly be useful for tablet owners, since it is precisely such devices that users sometimes use many hours in a row. Doze allows you to set the settings that reduce power consumption. It is no secret that many flagship models of mobile devices have a high resolution of the display, allow you to run a large amount background processes. Speed \u200b\u200band multitasking lead to a decrease in battery life.

Each a new version Android is designed to improve power consumption. Version 6.0, which is designed primarily for flagship gadgets, has the Doze function. It works very simply. Now users have the opportunity to view information about which processes consume the greatest amount of energy. You can set various power consumption settings for certain processes and pre-installed programs. Doze reminds hibernation mode stationary computer. Google's specialists argue that, thanks to the implementation of such a function, the operation of the Nexus 9 has doubled.

Fingerprint recognition

Modern mobile devices can recognize fingerprints. Earlier, to take advantage of the possibility of your phone or tablet, it was necessary to set third-party applications. The new operating system supports the print recognition. This function can be used not only to make payments through Android Pay Technology. You can configure the unlocking device using the print scan and simplify the use of programs.

Developers third-party applications will get the necessary API, which will allow to introduce new opportunity Android in the created various companies Software products. This leads to the conclusion that the fingerprint scan will quickly gain even more popularity. This method does not simply speed up the tasks on your mobile device. It guarantees the security and safety of all data.

Google Now.

An updated android 6.0 operating system. Supports well-known all google function Now. With it, you can get tips that appear at the right time. Assistant analyzes user actions in the system and shows useful information In the application that it uses at the current stage.

After that, you can learn any information, whether it is the text of your favorite song, the cinema rating, the location of the store. It should be understood that the assistant analyzes the data that is now.

New google Assistant Now contains another interesting tool that is integrated in Android 6.0. It is called Google Fit. This feature allows you to track the morning of the morning mileage or cycling. Such a tool will make work with your mobile device Even more comfortable and comfortable.

Interface changes

When you first get acquainted with the new software product It is impossible not to pay attention to how the interface has improved. The Android 6.0 MarshMallow has changed the application menu. Pages with programs disappeared. In exchange, they appeared a convenient menu that you can scroll up and down. Thanks to this innovation, it will be much easier and faster to find the necessary program. It should be noted that, as in the last version of Android, all applications are sorted in alphabetical order. At the same time, the developers did not introduce the ability to group applications by folders.

Application menu contains a convenient search. The developers took care that users do not have problems with searching and opening the desired program. Now just enter the first names of the application name in the search bar. It looks like this interface is quite attractive. In addition, at the top of the application menu, four most important are displayed. The developers applied a special algorithm that analyzes which programs are most often used which they have been launched lately. Due to this, the system offers four fixed applications at the top.

Changes affected the clock on the main screen. Developers managed to improve them appearance. Many pay attention to the number that is displayed below the clock. The date is written by a capital font, while it has a fatty inscription.

Interesting innovation - notes that are displayed on the lock screen. Now everyone can create the text that he would like to see during the device lock. The text will be displayed in the lower case slightly below the time and date. Thanks to such a function, you can fix the most important information.

Other comfortable changes

An overview of several more innovations deserves attention. One of them is a sound adjustment. Developers taking into account the complaints of Android users 5.0. and returned a convenient button "Do not disturb." In this case, pressing the side volume switch allows you to open. You can ask not only the call volume. On the right you can see the arrow, which opens the volume of the alarm and media files.

Android 6.0. Supports modern technology USB Type-C and USB 3.1 standard. It is no secret that this technology is gaining great popularity. Thanks uSB support Type-C can be accelerated by the charge time of the mobile device and the data transfer time.

In the new operating system Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the "RAM" section appeared. It allows you to view information about which applications use the highest number of RAM. Earlier for these purposes required installation third-party programs. Thanks new function You can find out which applications used rAM Mobile device for the last 3, 6, 12, 24 hours. Thanks to this, you can determine which programs slow down the device.

Currently operating android system He is the most popular. It is installed by more than 1.2 billion devices worldwide. But few know that this OS contains hidden capabilities. The Internet project "Be Mobile" studied "secret functions" and prepared a list of the most interesting of them.

1. Hidden mini-game

iD \u003d "SUB0"\u003e

Starting with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Google is located on all Android smartphones, so-called "Easter eggs" - hidden secrets that can be seen by performing a number of non-obvious actions.
