Android

為了跟得上大時代的腳蹤, 乘著感恩節後的黑色星期五大拍賣, 購買了台Android smart phone, 很感謝爸爸一早去購買以及老二買單, 開始了我的『行動』生涯。

除了第一只手機外, 爸爸都是用小孩淘汰下來的手機, 我則是有了真正喜歡的功能後, 才換手機。所以爸爸現在在學習iPhone4, 我則在學習Samsung S3 Android. 可以互相比較一下功能。小孩用iPhone, 使用Android一下子就上手了, 我則為了接個電話而手忙腳亂的沒接到。

尋找及試用基本的功能:
  • 店裡的員工幫忙將原來手機上的連絡人, 轉到新手機上。
  • 如何使用鬧鐘、計算機、照相機、連絡人、等, 舊手機的功能。(在連絡人那按久點, 就有click the right mouse button的選單)
  • 在keypad的setting中, call setting裡, 可以設定call rejection list. 這樣討厭的電話, 就可以不必看到了。
  • 到Google play尋找, 加上了中文漢語拼音輸入法。 自從會用漢語拼音打中文後, 什麼都加中文。
  • 如何使用電話和messaging的功能。(使用中文發短訊的話, 要在messaging中, 將語言設定為automatic, 收訊者才能看到寄去的中文短訊, 不然對方只會看到question marks。)
  • 簡訊中有URL, 會變成超連結可按了上網; 如果有地址, 也可按了到地圖中。iPhone簡訊中的地址, 僅是文字, 不知道是否可讓它變成連結。這點Android真棒!!
  • 小孩幫忙設定好GPS, 輸入end point即可, 但還不是很會用。不過有Google Map可看, 很喜歡。
  • 基本的Tutorial, 要找時間慢慢學。

行動上網功能:
  • 第一次自手機上看自己的部落格, 照片的顏色很艷麗。
  • 設定了gmail, 還來不及看, gmail裡設定的連絡人, 已轉到手機上了. 快到有點驚人。
  • 使用gmail, 連帶Google Calendar, picasaweb相本等, 相關的服務, 不需要特殊設定, 都自動在手機上顯示, 真是方便。照相後, 可以直接在G+上分享。
  • 如果事先要輸入連絡人的生日, Calendar上會自動顯示, 手機也會提醒今天哪位朋友生日。
  • 試用幾個常用的網站, YouTube的影片速度還可以; 中文報紙上的字顯示的不錯。
  • 設定家裡的Wifi, 也在Shopping Center裡也連上了Wifi。
  • 成功的使用中文拼音輸入, 以及上傳照片到噗浪。 但不知道按到了什麼, 噗浪網有時顯示河道, 有時顯示mobile簡易版。直接使用browser看, 不需要另外安裝apps。
  • 下載將來可能會使用的apps: skype, angry birds.
  • 讓手機成為Hotspot分享, 但要注意是否傳送太多data.
  • 其他的慢慢再研究吧! 一定有比我懂的朋友們會教我的。

安全問題: 手機越來越聰明, 相對的安全性也越來越重要。
  • block the background data transfer feature (先將隱藏性資料上傳功能取消)。
  • block international roaming feature (取消國際電話漫遊功能) 親戚在台時, 沒注意讓電話的電源開了一下, 就被收了費。
  • 設定每個月資料使用的限定, 免得自己使用超過限制。
  • 上網後, 不在電話上存密碼, 也不用電話處理重要帳號, 避免手機病毒。
  • 設定開機密碼, 免得手機被人偷用。
  • 為什麼Android裡, 已經有那麼多System Trusted Digital Certificates? 還有日本和看不懂是什麼語言的機構? 看來該研究一下 CA Certificates 在手機裡的用途了。

第一支手機 Samsung 315 輕巧折疊式 2oz (網路照片) 2000


第二支手機 Motorola v3 超薄有照相機 (網路照片) 2004


第三支手機 Samsung Eternity 觸控螢幕 - 很不喜歡任何有keyboard的電話 (網路照片) 2008


第四支手機 Samsung Galaxy S3 Android Google隨身走 照相機可以zoom in和反轉, 也有閃光燈 (手機越來越大, 也越來越重) 2012


早期的PDA, 除了電話功能, 其它的功能都有, 如: 地址本, 時間, 鬧鐘, 記事本, 塗鴉本, 計算機, 日曆等), 用一支小筆在螢幕上寫, 還可加裝中文。比較厚重, 黑白的, 充一次電, 可用兩個月。2001

我考慮了好幾個月, 要買Android或是買iPhone, 最後決定還是用Android好了。使用Android, 就像把Google帶在身邊, 感覺真不錯; 不知道使用iPhone的感覺是什麼?
