12 Things You Can Do In Marshmallow And Couldn't In Lollipop
|
Droidever - Lollipop was a novelty in the appearance and organization of the Android system. But with Marshmallow, we have seen how all this new look is filled with new features and functionality as Doze, that without doing nothing is capable of doubling the life of the battery of your Nexus.
1. Doze (snooze)
From my point of view this is one of the best advances that brought Android 6.0 Marshmallow. With your smartphone battery Doze you can fight better with every day, relaxing while you don't use it. Night never will again run out of battery or shuts off before you get the good days with the alert that you scheduled.
It is true that some manufacturers already implemented something similar, like Sony and their Stamina mode, but is now included in the core Android and will be available to all terminals from here onwards, regardless of who is behind the hardware.
This new mode requires no configuration and is not customizable. It works in a completely autonomous way to turn off the display of the device, and as more time passes, better save energy. Doze puts on hold services and applications leaving running time while the screen is off. Until the new connection waiting time increases exponentially. Results are incredible and translates into a consumption between 1-4% of battery during the night.
2. Permissions of applications
Since the beginning of Android if you wanted to test an application always had to swallow all the permissions that this you requested when installing. With Android 6.0 it's over. In this version the permissions of applications may revoke one by one.
You must be careful when removing permissions of applications because you can fill up the functioning of the application. But, for example, if you do not want messaging or social networking applications to share your location you can remove it without problems. The conflict comes when you remove the permission of location to the GPS Navigator. It isn't anything complicated, no longer be common sense.
3. Now on Tap
At the moment only it is in English, and to enjoy it you will have to change the language of the Marshmallow system until they can extend the service into more languages. This function goes far beyond a simple search on the internet.
Now on Tap realizes what they are talking about and is capable of discriminating perfectly what you want to search. Personally answers have impressed me so much that I've come to think that Google is able to read my mind.
4. With two touches of the volume mute
This function is nothing new, in fact was already in KitKat. It's quickly put the device in absolute silence mode. Just press the volume button down until the volume of notifications bar reaches the end and another Nick to leave it on without vibration if you want.
As I have already said, it already existed in previous versions, and was something practical that used all over the world who disappeared with the arrival of Lollipop. In the fifth version of Android was introduced a new more advanced system of notifications not satisfied at all, because it was a little inconvenient.
5. More intuitive sound settings
In line with previous point are other controls of sound and notifications, which are much simplified from the 5.1.1 the 6.0. As I have already said, Lollipop was introduced in a notification system very complex that most of us never got even to use and much less understand.
Lollipop we had three sound modes that are accessed from the key volume and four profiles in the settings menu. A system that if you were able to set up ever obstructed you more at a meeting or during the night. But the ordinary mortals were still stuck in up and down volume.
Let us be honest, the volume of notifications does not have to be so complicated. Now with Marshmallow, you can control the volume of notifications, multimedia and alarms simply by touching the small arrow that appears when you press any key volume.
6. Native support of the fingerprint reader
The majority of manufacturers already had this option, but each has developed its own software for the control of the biometric reader. It will now be included in the system, and all applications can make use of the authentication by fingerprint. Let us hope that in the not-too-distant future also include so interesting options for this component as having Matt S.
7. USB type C
This is a feature which, like the previous single, can enjoy the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, for the moment. USB not only C-type is going to do to change your cable, will get you only use one. USB type C being implemented for data both as cargo without distinction. From your computer you can charge your smartphone and your smartphone you can charge other devices.
The data transfer rate will also be increased along with the higher load capacity. A whole new world opens after the new USB standard.
8. System configurator IU
This is a section that needs a bit more development so you can greatly increase your chances. It's a section in the menu where you can customize the status bar and shortcuts of the notifications panel.
The possibilities are many, but give an idea of what might be this new menu: show the percentage of battery on the same icon, hide the status bar icons and customize shortcuts.
9. More quick and easy text selection
With Marshmallow text selection is much more intelligent than with Lollipop. The words were selected entirely by touching them and without having to juggle. If you have the wrong and didn't want it to select it is as easy as back.
In addition, the menu to choose 'Copy' or 'Cut' in Android 6.0 appears just above the selected text. Something to thank if you have a 6-inch screen as the Nexus 6 and have to travel up to the top to choose copy.
10. New memory settings
Marshmallow we have a new section in the settings menu called 'Memory'. In it, we can access the advanced settings of the RAM memory of our terminal. We can quickly see the use that is made of this memory and how different applications occupy it. If any being abused we will stop immediately.
11.Delete the cache from the settings
To delete the cache always you had to travel to the recovery of the device with the relevant off and restart playing a few keys. With Android Marshmallow, you are going to be able to clean all cache memory from the settings menu. The path is settings - storage and USB - cached data.
12. Within applications internet Explorer
This is a good improvement especially in the developers face. Get in position, an application that requires a registration on a website anymore you send to Chrome or any other browser, you can make the login directly in an application in an embedded browser.
This extends not only to see the web application if not content that also will have the information that you normally keep in Explorer as your passwords. It's like a mini version of Chrome.
