Need tips & recommendations for new Android tablet users

[TabletConnect]

Hello everyone. I am putting together a brief video tutorial on what to do first after buying an Android tablet. I have realize that tablet manufacturers do not do a good job explaining how to first set up the tablet. I am looking for tips & recommendations that one should do when he/she turns on the new Android tablets.

These are some of the things that I do first when getting a new tablet:

• Adjust brightness (to conserve battery). Many times the brightness is either high or it is on Automatic Brightness which personally do not find it useful.
• Activate USB debugging.
• Activate "Unknown Sources" to allow installation of non-market applications.

Those are the types of examples that I am looking for.

Thanks for your help!

Does the Android SDK contain anything to test your application on while developing an Android application (much like the iPhone does)?

I don't own a phone with Android (I actually have an iPhone...) but I would like to program some Android apps, without burning money on a phone. When it comes time to test my application on a live phone I have plenty of friends that would be willing to be guinea pigs.

I am actually looking for tips from the community. I am going to put together a "tutorial" once I gather enough tips/recommendations. Thanks.

You are in the wrong thread.

Yes, the SDK has an emulator which you can actually customize (screen size, etc.) I haven't used it in a while so I can't really what else you can customize. You can test your apps there.

I think you want to go over the basics.

Function of buttons, keyboards, what is a home screen...

As for tips...

Change language, compatibility mode, how to identify it (ASI, Linpack), power saving tips, how to change the launcher, widgets, icons
