In other words, any other apps that are currently running but are not being used are shut off. This frees up processor speed and phone memory. One of the advantages of the Android operating system is the fact that it can multitask, meaning that it can run more than one program at a time. Unfortunately, this can cause the Transform to become overwhelmed at times. It isn’t easy to shut down all of these extra processes manually.This app will do all of the work for you, and you do not need to navigate through any menus. One push of a button is all it takes.
Another helpful app to install on the phone is BatteryWatch. The Samsung Transform battery has a fairly good lifespan, but if you aren’t careful it can run out on you without warning. BatteryWatch lets you keep tabs on the status of the battery. It keeps track of several different features. The battery information is updated every five seconds. The most obvious feature that it tracks is the level of the battery. It also notifies you of whether or not it is charging, what it is plugged into, and the temperature of the battery. The health of your battery is one of the best features for any application out on the app market.
Launcher Pro is an upgrade for the Android operating system that makes it easier to use. It does not alter the operating system in a way that will make it seem foreign to those who understand the OS, but it will provide more functionality. One useful feature is the ability to add a total of seven home screens. The “pinch-zoom” command allows you to view all of your home screens at the same time. The dock at the bottom of the display is another major change that is extremely useful. You can place shortcuts onto this dock so that you can more easily access your favorite phone features.
Astro is an application that helps the user navigate easily through the many files on the phone. No computer is needed to do so. It enables you to delete, move, copy, and paste files. It offers to very useful features. The first is the ability to perform an operation on more than one file at once, as it can get very time consuming to do it one by one.
