How to instantly change the whole appearance of your phone
Changing the wallpaper on your phone is probably the most
direct method of personalising your device. Most Android phones come preloaded with a
wide range of wallpapers, both animated and static, that you can set to form attractive
backdrops to the home and lock screens for your device. But don't forget that
you can also use pictures that you have taken on your phone or images that you
have downloaded from the internet. In this tutorial we'll show you how.
Add wallpaper: give your home screen a new look
Go to Settings
On your device, locate the Settings app and give it a tap.
Listed amongst the extensive list of options available here will be one called 'Display',
which has a little sun symbol. Simply tap on this to start exploring the
incredibly varied visual options that are available for your device.
Tap on Screen Display
Tap on the 'Screen Display' option and you will see options
for your home and lock screens. Tap on the home screen option and you will be
able to select wallpaper from your photo gallery, select a live wallpaper or
choose an existing wallpaper from those on your phone.
Choosing your own pictures
If you wish to use one of the photos that you have already
taken on your phone as wallpaper, then choose the 'Gallery' option and just
navigate through to the image that you want to use. Once selected, move the
orange guide around to resize the image to exactly what you want.
Choosing other wallpapers
Your phone should also come preloaded with “live wallpapers”,
which are fully animated, and give a bit of life to your phone. There will also
be a selection of attractive backgrounds that have already been resized to fit
your screen. Simply pick one from the respective gallery and then choose 'Set
wallpaper'.
Using keyboard shortcuts
Discover just how you can speed up your typing
Access your Settings app and you will find a 'Language and keyboard"
option. Once there, select the settings that relate to your preferred keyboard.
Here you may wish to activate predictive text to make typing faster.
You can add your own words to your phone’s dictionary.
Under “Advanced Settings", tap on the 'My words' option
and then input the words that you would like to add. There are plenty of
shortcuts built into your phone’s keyboard to help save you time. For example,
hold the 'E' key to access accented 'e's, and hold the full stop key to access
a range of emotives.
