What is the Common Character For Android Users?

Those of you with long memories might recall an infographic we ran last December -- "Mr. Android." It was a composite picture of the average Android smartphone user, based on the Facebook fans of a startup called BlueStacks, which lets you run Android apps on PCs. Its average Android fan was a male American decked out in T-shirts, jeans and sneakers.

Mr. Android was mostly partnered up (well, 63% of him had a significant other). But if he were single, and heterosexual, he could do a lot worse than Ms. Mac -- a composite of BlueStacks' average Mac-using Facebook fan, based on about 10 times the amount of data as Mr. Android. (BlueStacks' Facebook fan base has grown from 145,000 to more than a million in the last year; the information was burnished with Nielsen numbers).

As you can see in the infographic below (click for full size), the average Mac user is female, wears glasses, with black hair (just beating blonde users by a few percent) and freckles. Like her Android counterpart, you're most likely to see her in T-shirts, sneakers and jeans. She's a few percent more likely to hail from outside the US, and a percentage point more likely to be single.

We're not sure how accurate or useful this data is (except for BlueStacks, which managed to generate a lot of coverage on a slow news day). Statistically speaking, it tells us little beyond the fact that people who like technology tend to dress casually -- and that Mac-owning women are more likely to opt for a blouse than Android-toting men are to reach for a dress shirt.

But it is a lot of fun to imagine Mr. Android and Ms. Mac pairing up, having feisty debates over the value of open source versus walled gardens, and deciding which operating system to bring the kids up in. Of course, the two images don't exactly compare like with like. Memo to BlueStacks: next year, let's see Mr. or Ms. iOS.

We've reproduced both composite persons below. Which do you like the look of? Let us know in the comments.

1. Prolonging Battery life
We can do nothing if your phone is run out of battery, and most of smartphones fail in giving a long battery life, so I put the tips about how to extend the battery life in the first place. There are several tips that you can do to extend the battery life of your Phone.

For me, the Easy Battery Saver app is the best app that can help you prolong the battery life of your smartphone as it manages everything from the active applications, to the background, to the web browser. Make sure download one Power Saving app on your phone.

Make sure that you have turned Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off while you are not using your phone. For Galaxy note2, turn off the S-Pen detection to save some precious minutes in your battery life.

2. Video multi-tasking 

Both of the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 allow you to watch a video while multitasking on the phone at the same time, called Pop Up Play. However, both of the phones does not support all file formats, so just download a media player like MX Player to help you.

Turn on Pop Up Video Pop Up Video

• Touch Apps > Video Player, Select a local video file to begin playback.
• Touch Pop up video. If the control menu is hidden, simply touch the video to unhide the menu.

3. S Beam

With this function, you can quickly transfer content to other NFC Android devices with a tap. To turn this on, go into Settings, more Settings and then tap S Beam.
Sharing Content with S Beam

• Open the content you want to share. You can share your favorite pictures, videos, contacts, web page links, even links to an application on Google Play™ Store. 
• Touch the devices together, back to back.
• On the device you are sending the content from, the screen will show Touch to beam. Touch the content on the screen to begin the beaming process. When prompted, separate the two devices and the content will begin to transfer.

4. S Voice
Both of the super phones have S Voice built in, an intelligent voice recognition service that can act as your personal assistant. Everything will be easier with its help, like check the weather, compose an e-mail, and even launch other apps or more. Like if you shout "shoot" at your phone and it'll take the photo.

The Direct Call feature will automatically call a contact if their log, contact, or message details are on the screen and you move the handset to your ear. Direct Call can be switched on and off in the Motion section of the settings menu.

6. Smart stay
Personally, this is my favorite special feature. Smart stay uses its front-facing camera to see if your eyes are still looking at the screen. If it finds them, it’ll keep the screen t active, rather than let it sleep. You can activate the feature from within the Display submenu of the full Settings menu.

7. S Pen (stylus)

Once mentioned about Galaxy Note 2, we could think of the S Pen. With the Special S Pen, drawing and writing become easier, and that is why many people fall in love with it. Also, with the S Pen, you don’t even need to touch the screen for it to show off, called Air View. Excellent. The S Pen makes it simple to take a screenshot of your smartphone's full screen by holding the side button in and holding the pen to the screen until the edge of the screen flashes white, signaling a screenshot has been taken.
