comes with plenty of new and exciting functions to keep fans happy. However, not all of them are immediately obvious from the start.
Open up Google now with just your voice:
It's possible to activate Google Now - Android's answer to Siri - simply by saying "OK Google". When you're on the home screen, simply utter those two words and you'll be prompted to speak your next command, which can be anything from asking for Google to search the web to setting an alarm for a particular time. Just be wary of any annoying friends shouting the same phrase when you're trying to do other things on your phone.
Print on the go straight from your smartphone with the addition of cloud print:
Link your printer to your phone under Settings > Printing > Set Configuration. Printers that have ‘Cloud Print Ready’ settings connect easier to your device. To connect a classic printer, download Google Chrome on a computer and enable Cloud Print.
Exit immersive mode:
One of the new features of Android 4.4 is the "immersive" mode, which basically removes all of the on-screen interface to give you an unimpeded view on your current application. Apps that support immersive mode should automatically remove UI elements, but if you want to get them back, simply swipe down from the top of the display - the notifications bar will magically re-appear.
Activate battery saving GPS mode:
After activating this feature the accuracy of location services goes down but we no longer have to sacrifice all GPS to save battery.
