Useful Tricks on Android

Any device

For those who are not yet guided by the forum! This topic is not about useful programs, not to search for programs or help with devices!
You can ask only for android specific problems androidofonam, excluding third-party software, pre-searching a solution on the forum and in the Google.

We are looking for programs here.
The most necessary / must have / programs here.

What is this topic about?
Lifehaki, nishtyaki, utility, hidden capabilities of various software, components of "iron" smartphones and not only, find which even know how to use the search, is unrealistic. I bet that most of these features are unknown to you! Much here from personal experience, as in the description of different excellent programs there are no very useful things. Many nishtyakov scattered around the forum and usually come across the instructions of the caps of the topics on devices. But almost always there they remain, and users of other devices about their existence do not even suspect.
That is, this topic is not for the functions that are the main purpose of a program, but for disclosing their hidden features as well as all non-obvious techniques when using android smartphones that may be useful for someone, but obviously little known.
