In Android, move a photo to another folder

7/19/2013

Once he's snapped a photo with his Android phone, Bob wants to move it to another folder.

This isn't really a photo issue; it's a file management issue. And so you need a file management app. I recommend the ASTRO File Manager. The Pro version costs $4, but the basic, free app is sufficient for this job (and much more).

Tablets, smartphones, and PCs look different on the outside, but on the inside they rely on the same components: a processor, a GPU, memory, and a storage volume that holds an operating system, device drivers, and applications. Your phone and tablet have smaller screens and fewer peripherals than a typical PC has, but you still end up tapping and clicking your way through your data before pulling out a keyboard--albeit a virtual one--to get real work done.

When you first upgraded from a 'dumb' feature phone to your first smartphone, you were probably shocked at the poor battery life. I've heard of plenty of people who have returned their Android or iPhone to the shop, complaining that it lasts only a day and that there must something wrong with it.

Unfortunately, you're never going to get a week's use out of a smartphone, and that's for some very good reasons. Put simply, even the best batteries don't have enough reserves to power big, bright screens along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G.

However, by following our advice and making a few changes to your phone's settings (and maybe even changing the way you use your phone a little) you should be able to extend its battery life by a good chunk.

These days there's a huge choice of portable USB battery packs, which you can use to give your smartphone's battery a recharge on the go. Plus, if you have a popular handset, you may find there are specific cases which incorporate batteries to give you extra power at the expense of only a little more bulk and weight.What we're not going to suggest here is to use your phone less. Our aim here is to show you how to reduce your handset's power consumption without making it unusable.

So, here are 10 ways you can boost your smartphone's battery life
